here in for laura garcia.y frid. >> kari, you're here to tell us it's going to be hot again today. i don't know if it's great news. >> how about it's great news it's the weekend. >> i like that. >> silver lining. >> we're going to still have that hot weather in the inland valleys and we'll keep it cool for the coast. wide range in temperatures but as we start out this morning in san jose, we're in the upper 50s, heading over to campbell. we're going to heat up fast. we'll be in the low 70s by 10:00 and some mid 80s and that's a lot warmer than normal, as we officially start to welcome in fall for tomorrow. pleasanton is going to be hot again today but as you walk the kids to school on this friday, it will still be comfortable. we'll look at all of our microclimates coming up. michael, you say oakland is starting to recover. >> i should have qualified that, recovering from the earlier traffic alert but then over here the last 60 seconds i've seen a lot more traffic flowing over toward the bay bridge toll

plaz plaza, especially here the overcrossing coming off of 880 northbound from the coliseum up to the area a lot more traffic kicking in over the last couple of minutes, the last 60 seconds like i said has seen a real big build over there. that's because we had all these folks trapped right there northbound 880, up toward the crash, that's the traffic alert, lasted for quite some time, over half an hour and that caused a lot of backup. that quickly cleared because traffic is slow past the scene, is light this friday. another crash and the backup on the shoulder at 66th. great recovery for 880 but that means all the folks are headed up to the bay bridge where the metering lights are on. 580 westbound may see a little more traffic over the next half hour as well because folks might have planned on that as an alternate. that was a good idea. looking at the rest of the bay a smooth flow of traffic. the south bay shows a little blip for san jose and fremont getting down to the south bay no problem with the headlights past the truck scales. back to you. >> all right, mike, thanks. it's 6:01 right now. the san jose catholic diocese is calling on anyone who

has been victimized by a priest to come forward and talk about it. it is one part of a reform plan the bishop announced a week ago. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us in san jose, and kris, we're hearing about a listening session planned for tomorrow. what do you know about that? >> reporter: well we don't know a lot, and that is because the bishop has declined to provide any other details, though this seems to be a push for greater transparency. what we know is that the session is open to anyone who wants to talk about sexual abuse of a priest on themselves or a family member. now the bishop and the diocese did again decline to provide any other details, though i did try several times this week. acrossing to bishop patrick mcgraw's letter last week they will seek information from congregants about the past reform as well as anyone victimized by clerical sexual abuse or one of their family members has. the first planned for tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning at our

lady of the rosary hall in palo alto. i'll put that up on twitter for you. we talked with the ywca which provides services for people who are sexually assaulted. the ceo says any part of any change has to include prosecution. >> sexual assault is a crime so let's start there. it is a crime that ought to be investigated and the system needs to be centered on justice for survivors, not on protecting the powerful. >> reporter: now in addition to the three listening sessions scheduled over the next six weeks, the bishop says the diocese will release the names and status of all priests credibly accused of abusing children or vulnerable adults and the bishop commissioned an independent review of all diocese records to see how allegations have been handled in the past. that review will be done by a former fbi director. the san jose diocese is the first in the bay area to come public with the list of abuser priests and that list is expected to be out by

mid-october. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. multiple threats at one east bay high school. the pittsburg police department and unified school district are teaming up to talk to parents and students to focus how to work together to handle social media threats. five students were arrested in connection with violent threats posted online. meetings will be held on tuesday and saturday. happening today, a celebration for the completion of the replacement dam of the calaveras reservoir. it saddles santa clara and alameda county and provides water for some 3 million people. it has a new seismically safe dam. earlier this month, the reservoir was at the epicenter of a 3.4 magnitude quake. engineers inspected that new dam and found no damage. >> at 6:04 a live look at clear skies, twinkling lights at sfo

negotiable including her desire for the fbi to investigate her sexual assault claim against supreme court nominee judge brett kavanaugh. >> let them give us an impartial report. what is so difficult to do that? stop the playing games. >> reporter: ford is asking that kavanaugh not be in the room when she testifies and she wants him to go first. they're asking the senate judiciary committee to limit cameras plus she wants the committee to subpoena kavanaugh's friend mark judge who she claims witnessed the assault, that's reportedly been denied. but sources say they did agree to guarantee her security. >> we'll let it play out, and i think everything's going to be just fine. this is a high quality person. >> reporter: president trump in las vegas last night standing by his nominee. >> we believe! >> reporter: as dozens are arrested on capitol hill,

standing by his accuser. now there's another condition dr. ford is mentioning here to the folks on capitol hill. she wants to make sure that she is questioned by the democrats and republicans on this committee, not a lawyer that they're talking about bringing in. they don't want to create a situation where it looks like an interrogation. the lawmakers here say they were trying to consider that to make it more comfortable for her to bring in a female lawyer to question her as opposed to the mostly male panel that she'd be facing. we'll keep you up to date and let you know if they come up with any solution on when this testimony might happen. kira and marcus? >> we'll watch this as it continues to unfold. tracie thanks for the update. if you are in the mood for treats, the weather is hot outside, and nbc bay area has the cooldown trick for you. our treat truck along with jessica aguirre and chief meteorologist jeff ranieri will be at heather farm park in

cell phone video circulating on social media they released this video in an effort to be transparent. at 6:32, b.a.r.t. is under fire once again this time for a new investigation by the ""san jose mercury news."" the newspaper claims b.a.r.t.'s crack down on toll evadiereers disproportionately targeting african-americans getting the fines. >> the details and b.a.r.t.'s response? >> reporter: b.a.r.t. says they lose about $25 million a year in lost revenue when riders ride without buying a ticket. b.a.r.t. police have been cracking down and that's where the problems begin. the "san jose mercury news" reports between march and july of this year, b.a.r.t. issued more than 3,000 tickets to passengers who were riding without a ticket. but 41% of those fines went to african-americans, even though they only make up 12% of ridership, that compared to for

example white passengers who totalled about 44% of b.a.r.t. users yet get only 23% of the tickets. critics of the findings says this points to bias but b.a.r.t. is criticizing the article saying it looks at a two-week period but those two weeks was the only data that b.a.r.t. gave to "the mercury news" for the story. b.a.r.t. claims they work to prevent bias in their program from a variety of protocols. fare inspectors are told to start at one end of a train and move from one passenger to the next, without skipping those in between. b.a.r.t. plans to release a more comprehensive report of their finding later today. they'll also present on the topic at their board meeting next week. reporting live in millbrae, "today in the bay." >> thank you. new this morning, the the california lottery is investigation not for money related issues. according to "the sacramento bee" the attorney general's office is reviewing an alleged misconduct case after an anonymous letter was sent to the

governor jerry brown. it apparently included photos showing an executive putting his head under a woman's shirt. according to the letter writer, it happened at a piano bar while lottery employees were on a work-related trip. some employees are now demanding senior department executives resign. 6 635 -- 6:35 right now. the battle over a future downtown is heating up in the east bay. today one side will rally and the other side will continue to collect signatures to overturn the decision by the city council. >> "today in the bay's" ready vd live in livermore. you've spoken to both sides. what do they have to say now? >> reporter: well good morning to you, kira and marcus. the issue how to develop eight acres of land on railroad avenue just off the main drag here in downtown livermore. last week the livermore city council unanimously voted to approve a plan as you can see in the renderings we are putting on

your tv screen, more parking for downtown, a boutique hotel, affordable housing, space for retail and cultural events and stockman's park named for the cowboy culture in this the town. friends of livermore, backed by the local independent newspaper and self-proclaimed grassroots activists launched a petition drive outside local stores to reverse the council's decision. if the group can collect 5,000 signatures, voter als will get whether or not to go to the city council. they believe the plan calls for too much housing and the location of the hotel and parking are misplaced and there needs to be more green space. later this afternoon at 2:30, there's another group called unify livermore that includes the chamber of commerce and wine growers association they'll hold a rally to discourage citizens from signing that petition. unify livermore says the citizens have already spoken, points out that the city did

conduct months of public outreach and believes a referendum could delay if not destroy this development. do you think the process has been fair? >> do i? no, i don't think the process has been fair. >> reporter: how come? >> in any city government the city council control the message, they control the information. they control the agenda, and it's very clear to us, having been involved since 2000 -- well, two and a half years ago that the city council wants certain things to happen, and they've been guiding the process to allow certain things to happen, and we've been objecting to it. >> it's a well thought out plan. community came together. lots of studies, the city engineer, the traffic studies, the circulation studies. i mean, the process had worked and the whole adage the facts are on the side, pound the facts. i just want to pound the facts. if the facts aren't on your side, pound the table. the other side is pounding the table, frankly. >> reporter: both sides reiterated how much they love livermore, that they want what

is best for this town here in wine country. both sides obviously have differences of opinion what that is. reporting live here in livermore, bob riddell, "today in the bay." >> a lot to catch up on there, thank you so much, bob. heads up for anyone planning to drive through downtown san jose on sunday. bikes and scooters take over. we have shots from last year, the event is not a race. it's more of a way to get out and meet your neighbors. electric scooters are banned. we have a map shows where it's happening, a six-mile stretch centered along monterey road and and electric scooters have been banned. it takes place between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. sunday. as you saw from the video, not a small event, so head out to monterey road, but not with your car on sunday. over here we're looking past monterey road, 101, 85, 87 throughout the south bay, an easy build, light build because
