family is notified. here is where she died, right here where the van struck and killed her. they say she was in a crosswalk as she was crossing north 10th street in east santa clara as she was hit by a white van. the driver of that van kept going and police don't know who was behind the wheel. that's why police put up a placard asking for anyone who saw something around the midnight hour to report it. we expect police will be asking neighboring businesses, including a 7-eleven for surveillance video they may have in order to help identify who that trifr was. the woman who was killed is the third person to be killed by a driver in the city of san jose this year. again, if you know anything, you should call the san jose police. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest there, kris. 5:01. today marks the 34th day of the shutdown. president trump says there will be no state of the union address

until it's over. this after nancy pelosi made it clear the president is not welcome on capitol hill. live in washington with more on the two votes today. new demands just to get these employees back to work. good morning, tracie. >> yeah. good morning, laura, good morning, everyone. pressure to try to end this shutdown. the white house is looking for a list -- the white house chief of staff wants a list of all the programs that could be affected if this stretches into april. so they are bracing for a long-term shutdown. you won't hear about that in the state of the union, because overnight we learned it is not happening. this year's state of the union address is off. i will do the address when the shutdown is over. president trump tweeted overnight, i am not looking for an alternative venue. house speaker nancy pelosi wrote that lawmakers would not authorize his visit until government has opened. >> she doesn't want to hear the

truth. she doesn't want the american public who hear what's going on, and she's afraid of the truth. >> the shutdown must end, and it must end now. >> the senate will try today with two votes, one offering immigrant protections in exchange for funding president trump's border wall. >> he shouldn't cave in to liberal democrat demands. >> the other opening government temporarily to negotiate border security. >> if we can get government open for 15 days, we can be around the clock and find a solution to this. >> neither is expected to pass. pressure to reopen government is mounting. >> it can be done but not while the president holds hostage all americans including hundreds of thousands of federal workers. >> air traffic controllers, pilots say they are worried about safety with a record number of tsa workers calling out sick and five former homeland security secretaries, including three who worked for

republicans, say national security is at stake. as for today's vote, at least one senate republican says she'll cross over and vote with democrats but they would need a lot more than that, laura, they would need at least a dozen more. >> it keeps extending on and on. thank you very much. tracie potts live from washington. 5:04. furloughed workers continue to rack up their bills, and, of course, worries. that's why san jose mayor sam liciardello wants city council to protect federal employees from eviction during shutdown. if approved it could go into effect today. the city council will consider that plan this afternoon. a follow-up for you. the man accused of an attack on an elderly woman is due in court today. 18-year-old can he ont-- keonte

levels. good thing there. >> even though we're taking a break from rain, it's not quite time to worry. it's pretty usual to see a week or two of dry weather in the middle of the winter of that's what we're seeing now. cool temperatures as you head out the door. live look outside at dublin, 580, everyone heading out. no issues of visibility. look at these temperatures. you do need to add on a couple of extra layers as you head to the dublin bart station. 39 at 6:00 and then we'll see those temperatures heading into the upper 50s. a pretty quick warm-up. if you're out the door to the fruitvale bart station, upper 50s in the afternoon. we'll talk about what else is going on. i think you have an update for tri-valley. >> i do. my view last final would have shown you a closure for 580. we see a smooth drive and no problems now, 680 just reopened

in the last minutes from overpass crews going on, sheardan to north. there was a closure southbound but that did not last past 4:00. just to note what happens while you're sleeping. northbound at laurel, reports of debris in the roadway. i don't know what it is. no slowing if you're coming from the santa cruz side and have friends, let them know they may encounter a traffic break. 101 out of san martine. smooth driving getting over toward the bay as well. bay bridge, no back-up. cash lane, a couple of cars to be honest. back to you. >> thanks, mike. okay. bakers, i want you to listen up. a popular all purpose flour is recalled this morning. we'll tell you why and what exactly you need to look for on that package. an effort to break up facebook. we'll tell you all about it in business and tech. >> still ahead, the author of "fifty shades of grey" back in the headlines. coming up at 5:25, what she's up to now.

five minutes. here in the bay area, oakland 880 moves smoothly. you have company both directions northbound with taillights from the coliseum. i'm tracking an issue in the oakland area. we'll talk about what i found for 580. a very good morning and happy thursday to you as well. choppy markets on wednesday. we should see a slight rise today. important, intel reports its profits today. this company is without a permanent ceo after he left. maybe some news on that as well. intel's interim ceo says he doesn't want the job. cnbc reporting apple is moving 200 people out of its self-driving car project. our sister network is calling this a layup. but hold on. we're trying to get clarification from apple, because apple's statement says, "as the team focuses their work on several keys areas for 2019, some groups of being moved to projects in other parts of the

company." the key here is some groups. do they mean everybody has a new job or some people are losing their jobs? we don't know. speaking of self-driving cars, amazon showing off not a car but a self-driving robot that's delivering goods to people in washington. it's called scout. the video doesn't show it but amazon sends somebody to walk right behind it to make sure it knows where it's going. we've been telling you how ftc will be cracking down on facebook, probably with a fine. a group calling on washington to break it up or fine mark zuckerberg, not the company. it would come from the problems with cambridge analytica. a quick word about twitter. it has problems. either been slow cracking down on violent speech, particularly surrounding the boys in washington, the ones from kentucky, but it's amazing how much of the world's news starts

on twitter. the battle between trump and pelosi is largely happening on twitter. we learned the president would the delay the state of the union from twitter. when they communicate by letter, they post it first on twitter. the u.s. has been announcing its intentions with venezuela on twitter. vice president pence communicating with venezuelans there. madura firing back on twitter. bottom line, if you're not on twitter, you're missing a lot, particularly from laura garcia. >> just laura garcia and marcus. >> facebook or twitter? >> twitter. >> twitter, laura garcia nbc, marcus nbc. >> excellent. i follow you guys but i don't remember what it is. >> it's complicated sometimes. >> we're online in the morning. this is good to note. if you're going to bake cookies, make something, check that pantry. general mills voluntarily recalling 5 pound bags of metal

the way. then as we look at our visibility this morning as you get ready to head out on this thursday, in santa rosa, three-quarter mile visibility. elsewhere it is mostly clear. as you head out walnut creek, clear and cool. low 40s at 7:00. 54 will be the temperature at 10:00. then at 1:00, we're at 60 degrees. nice progression there as you start out and get your hair ready for the day. it's another good hair day, even though the humidity is at 86%. that's relative. when those temperatures are cold, it doesn't really feel that humid outside. so fairly crisp out there and our humidity drops as we go into the afternoon as our temperatures head into the low- to mid-60s today all across the bay area. no storms developing out there in the pacific, although i've seen an increase in cloud cover that will go up and over our high pressure, which is keeping us dry. we will see an increase in cloud cover into the weekend but still no rain. temperatures today heading into

the low 60s for the inland valleys, upper 60s for the next several days. it is going to feel very nice and spring-like. in fact, in some spots running close to 10 degrees above normal. that continues at least to the start of next week. as you head to mike, you've been tracking the roads and personal what's happening in the tri-valley. >> that's right. the tri-valley had closures in northbound direction that cleared up. 680 moves smoothly. an earlier crash but it's cleared as well. east 580 away from the bay bridge but around 35th, a report of furniture busted up in the roadway and scattered across eastbound direction. again, getting away from the maze and heading to the merge with the freeway. just note that. see a little slowing over here at the toll plaza. the build is happening. we should see metering lights on in a few minutes. no delays for the rails on the

ride, a ride over the water, ferries not report k delays. we showed you the san francisco bay ferry. the north bay, southbound with taillights from san rafael toward lincoln without a problem. we'll get a look at the waze system as well. remember the nbc bay area works with waze. nbc wazers is the name of your team if you want to join that. we'll give some options for you. same amount of time from castro, mountain view, sunnyvale. they are giving you options and it will change as traffic builds. back to you. >> thanks, mike. coming up next, a 13-year-old wisconsin girl that was kidnapped after her parents were murdered gets a large amount of money today. we're going to tell you where it's coming from. >> pg&e pranked. the message that popped up on a fake website and how pg&e is responding. >> it's been a while since we heard from the author of "fifty shades of grey," but that wait is supposedly over. the news she's sharing this morning.

do you need a reason to carpool spot peninsula? a new program in san mateo county is being introduced later today to get more commuters to ride with others. "today in the bay" pete suratos has been asking questions about the new concept. he's live in south san francisco with what he found out. good morning, pete. >> good morning, marcus. first for people who work in san mateo county or live in san mateo county. if you decide to carpool, you'll be eligible for incentives in the form of e gift cards. we'll get to that in a moment. here is how it will work. first, the law is carpool 2.0, put together by san mateo county and bay area air district. they are the ones behind the program. overall goal with car-pooling, traffic congestion, emissions and provide more parking in the county if more people are car-pooling. the county is going to track carpoolers through its star

commuter track out. basically drivers input their information on the number of carpool rides taking into san mateo county or leaving san mateo county. in return they are going to receive incentives in the form of e gift cards for things like restaurants, just a couple of options. we spoke to a couple of drivers in south san francisco about the traffic issues coming into san mateo county. if these incentives, these e gift cards make it worth it to carpool at all? >> part time, i work in the city, it's really hard, really hard to get parking. >> ideas are cool. one offs are just one offs. so if i carpool for the whole month you're going to give me a gift card every day? or are you going to give me a gift card today and say carpool for the rest of the month. >> reporter: mixed opinions on

how this works. what you're looking at is a screen shot of the actual app. that's where you can input your information regarding the number of carpool rides. depending on the number of rides you do, you could get up to $100 in e gift card rewards. of course more details on this during a press conference on this issue over at genentech m's this morning at 9:45 african-america suratos, "today in the bay." >> it all goes to help the planet. 5:36. bay area business fearing they have to eat a lot of unpaid debt. after a surprise and sudden closure of munchery. if you haven't heard of it, that may be the problem. the san francisco food startup tried to deliver meals. for a while investors loved the idea. it went bust after months and months of struggling. a bake shop worked with mumplg

munchery. the owners say they are owed a lot of dough. i'm not talking about the dough they cook with but $20,000. >> $20,000 is a full payroll for us. it's half my annual salary. it's the money we had been saving to make improvements, buy equipment, so it is pretty devastating. >> the owners say the only reason they learned munchery was closing was because of an e-mail palace out to customers. munchery not talking about the money it owes vendors and food suppliers. next time you're driving through the central valley, don't mistake the guy selling jewelry on the side of the road for a zale's. that's the warning from child molestation. the scam is simple. people parking on county rides are flagging down motorists and say they need gas or whatever reason but in exchange they offer jewelry. most is branded 18 karat with a

moving smoothly you can see a crash blocking slow lane. a big rig moving part of the vehicles off the road, blocking the trailers. that's the property with san mateo. north to bay bridge, metering lights, not a problem there. over there richmond to san rafael. cruising to the week, too. that's nice. should be a good one. >> kari calls it friday eve. >> yeah. it's going to be a great weekend, looking at sunshine and warmer weather as well. here is a look at the saturday forecast across the bay area reaching into the mid and upper 60s for the inland valleys. but that's after a cool start. put that in the plans it will warm up and cool down quickly. we're looking at for our coastal temperatures some low 60s. as you make plans, maybe you'll want to check out chinese new year's extravaganza. that's happening in san mateo at hillsdale shopping center. as we enjoy that event, it's going to be in the low 60s. comfortable temperatures.

also oakland a's fanfest happening in jack london square will start out cool with upper 40s and low 50s. then we'll get low 50s the rest of the day. heading out of town to squaw valley, good for travel, there and back, dry road conditions, mostly sunny skies for tomorrow with highs in the mid-40s, up to 50 on sunday. some of that snow will be melting. i haven't shown a lot of muir woods forecast. i know because of the government shutdown they don't have a lot of facilities open. just be mindful of that if you will be going the park may be open and you may not have access. temperatures will reach into the low 60s so it's going to be very comfortable out there. paso robles will be nice and warm with sunshine all throughout the weekend. just a few more clouds moving in on saturday. we'll talk about what's going on today in our forecast. that's coming up in about three minutes. >> thanks, kari. 5:41 right now. coming up, it is a famous

skyscraper in san francisco, famous for the fact it's tilting and leaning. this morning we're learning the millennium tower has a new tenant who is also very famous. we're going to tell you who next. the president says he will delay the state of the union and something very important happening in the senate. >> take a look at this, missing for five years, this cat is finally home after it was discovered hundreds of miles from home. this cat's long tale he has to tell. still ahead for us this morning. you're watching "today in the bay."

mike traffic tease good thursday morning. we're coming up on 5:45. it's a chilly start. a live look outside at fremont, checking out 880. everything looking good. our temperatures at 41 at 7:00, 53 at 11:00 and heading into the upper 50s by 1:00 today. we'll take a look at all of our microclimates and the weekend ahead coming up in less than five minutes. >> checking out the san mateo bridge, those taillights going westbound your commute direction. does it look lighter than you expected? that might be because of a little slower in hayward. we'll talk about it coming up. new this morning, bart's new homeless outreach program has been so successful an extension is now in the work. two team members monitor san francisco's four busiest downtown stations directing homeless to services including housing and health care.

bart now plans to expand it to the mission street station. bart says its outreach team last year made contact with more than 700 people. 75%, 537 were connected with homeless services. 164 of those cases are now being called resolved, meaning they are no longer active cases and out of the bart system. >> one san francisco leader fed up with all the empty store front has an idea about how to fill them. he says charge the landlords who keep them that way. the problem is some properties have been vacant for months. that's because no one can afford the high rent. proposing an answer, taxing landlords $250 for every day a property sits vacant longer than six months. peskin believes it would generate business. he hopes to place it on the november ballot. new for you this morning, san francisco's millennium tower may still have some issues to work out but its newest tenant
