"today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington, d.c., with more on the investigation going on. we have the indictment right here, tracie. >> and it's a long one, and it's got a lot of details about connections to wikileaks, when they released those hacked emails from hillary clinton's campaign, and democrats. roger stone said he had nothing to do with that. this indictment seems to say otherwise. stone was off the trump campaign

payroll. he was an adviser early on but according to this indictment, he through an intermediary seemed to have some knowledge of when those emails were coming out, "well done" is what one trump senior official texted him after one of the releases and former cia director john brennan says they have their eye on stone and the trump campaign, and those emails for some time. >> in the summer of 2016 we were watching what was happening in terms of what was released by wikileaks and how the russian hand was behind this so the intermediaries was something looked at very closely by the fbi and others, so again, this indictment is not surprising in any respect. >> first of all, i want to give you -- >> reporter: specifically that indictment includes seven counts, obstruction, witness tampering and five counts of making false statements regarding his statements to the house intelligence committee. stone has repeatedly deside any

collusion with wikileaks directly. he said he would never testify against president trump, but he will be in court this morning in just a few hours to answer this indictment. laura? >> we'll continue to follow that one. tracie potts, thanks so much. live now to sfo, where a flight was diverted late last night after a death on board. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez live for us at the airport, and kris, we're learning the person who actually died on that flight was a flight attendant. >> reporter: yes, that's what we've learned this morning. we just saw that hawaiian airlines flight, flight 50 pull away from the terminal over here at sfo and it is about to head off to jfk, which was its intended destination in the first place. in the last 20 minutes, we saw that flight finally leave. it was a very long night for those passengers on board. hawaiian airlines flight 50 left honolulu at 4:20 yesterday afternoon, about 6:20 our time. it was due to land this morning in new york, but sometime around 1:00 in the morning, that flight

was diverted here to sfo. one passenger tweeted that flight attendants made an announcement calling for any doctor on board to help. this passenger tweeting "it's been a long time since they asked for doctors to come to first class. i hope they're okay." once mettics boarded that plane she tweeted again "there are cops, too, and no one's moving with any urgency." here is the real time radar of that flight leaving sfo this morning. sources told our nbc station in honolulu that the person who died on board that flight was, in fact, a flight attendant, but we have not had any confirmation from hawaiian airlines. at sfo, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> just a tragic situation happening there. all right, kris, thank you. in just a few hours, the travis air force base doctor convicted of of sexually assaulting three of his patients was found guilty on multiple charges following a six-week trial. solano county prosecutors said he gained trust of his victims, all military veterans and got

them to perform sex acts using exposure therapy. two of those victims were looking for treatment for ptsd. happening today, the golden gate bridge district will be discussing a crash involving one of its boats, and how to move forward with plagmaking repairs. back in november, a ferry crashed into a dock at the ferry building, left a big hole in the side of the boat. two of 53 people on board were hurt. still not clear what caused that crash. new for you this morning, a bay area restaurant chain is set to pay a multimillion-dollar settlement in the state wage theft investigation. the argument includes present and former workers at burma ruby in palo alto. rangoon ruby restaurants in palo alto, san francisco and san carlos, not to forget burlingame and belmont. the belmont restaurant recently

going to feel very nice, a little bit warmer than it was yesterday. nice little recovery with some comfortable weather for the rest of the day. we'll talk about the weekend coming up, and mike, you are giving us a look at what's happening on the roads. >> freeways looking pretty clear right now, kari, speed sensors looking great. that's what we expect early on a friday, light traffic flow extended toward the early commute. willow pass road behind me here coming through contra costa county at port chicago highway in this area there may be a crash, that's the biggest thing we find in the area, no major injuries. the bay bridge toll plaza looks pretty smooth. a light volume of traffic right now and the cash lanes are actually clearing after they've got all the toll lanes open there. and southbound 101 through san rafael, you see how light the traffic flow is, speeds are great if you look at the north bay times, no delays traveling through novato. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:06 right now. coming up next on "today in the bay," new video of a spacex rocket in texas knocked down to the ground, part of it. we'll tell what you toppled the newly completed prototype.

still ahead a michael jackson documentary set to debut today is not thrilling the late pop star's fans. coming up, the reason behind that outrage.

it's just a cough. yeah right. and the earth is flat. ahhh!! treat your cough seriously with robitussin cf max. nothing lasts longer and treats more symptoms for your cough, cold and flu. robitussin. because it's never just a cough.

right now at 5:09, if you're on your way to the sierra, it looks really good. no travel issues. it's just really cold. a live look at our resort at squaw creek camera, 17 degrees. for the weekend, though, it will warm up into the mid-40s, and

then up to 52 degrees on sunday. at the base of the mountain we have 125 inches of snow. we'll talk about what's going on for the bay area. i'll let you know if there's any rain in the forecast coming up in less than five minutes. >> that looks great. wow! over here not so quite high-rise at donner summit but the san mateo bridge moves smoothly. commute westbound with the tail lights is a nice drive. let's check all of your bridge drive times. no delays, oh, wait, mock my word there, bay bridge a little slowing, starts on the incline. we'll check that out coming up, not much traffic flow through the maze. slow out of the altamont pass to be expected. we'll see if there's anything unexpected on the maps, coming up. good morning. very happy friday to you. markets did okay thursday considering the commerce secretary said we were "miles and miles" away from a deal with china. we're getting movement in washington on solving the

shutdown as well that may help markets today. intel will likely move lower after that company warned about sales. we'll talk more about intel in a second. let's talk about facebook first. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg wrote an op-ed in the "wall street journal" which he said sometimes people assume we do things we don't. for example, we don't sell people's data, even though it's often reported that we do. keep in mind, facebook we think is on the cusp of a massive fine from the ftc and it's been on sort of a long-term apology tour, after a whole year of scandals in 2018, including the biggest with cambridge analytica. facebook this week said it would crack down on fake news. it often announces something, diversity reports, new initiatives, that kind of thing, when it's in the middle of a bad press cycle. santa clara's intel, the world's most important chipmaker still doesn't have a permanent leader. the company reported profits yesterday, and said sales were slowing. its current or interim ceo says

he doesn't want the ceo job, though he says it's the biggest and most important job opening in the world. take a look at this, the fella in the center of your screen is joe escanazi, a long time reporter in san francisco who is experimenting with news by text message. he texts you every day telling you what's going on in city politics. we're going to talk with joe about that on "press:here" sunday morning after "meet the press" and look at a new california law making it illegal to have all male boards of directors requiring women on the board. it's been proven over and over companies perform better in the stock market, they make more money if they have women on the board, but should you legislate that? should you force somebody in a free market to do the right thing that's actually good for them anyway? >> i just went to a forum myself this last week that talked about that very thing. >> oh, good. we're going to debate it hard. >> interesting to see. all right. thanks, scott. taking over the world! hey, in south texas, strong

winds knocking down a spacex rocket, spacex ceo elon musk tweeting it will take weeks to repair the damage. 50-mile-per-hour winds broke the mooring blocks yesterday afternoon. the rocket is a test version of starship, which spacex is building to transport humans and cargo. maybe some of that ice cream. >> i'll take a scoop or two. >> there you go. hey! conversation hearts! >> yes, you know what? hearts are going to be broken this valentine's day. the candy favorite will be missing from store shelves there. you won't be able to buy the sweethearts with the original heart shaped candies with the messages on there. you can see "get my drift" "be mine." all right, the owners of that company says the new owners say they don't have time to produce the wildly popular sweetheart there is. the old company sold it last year and they closed the factory there, but the new ones said they didn't have time.

krispy kreme is stepping in to fill the solution. the chain is offering a new conversation doughnut available january 30th through valentine's day, and the doughnuts from feature more than a dozen phrases including "all the feels" "be mine" "all the feels, i didn't get that one. >> get the feel, the emotion, all the emotion. >> the young kids terms, "i've got all the feels." >> i just explained "lol" to marcus. >> it's good because i'd rather have krispy kreme than sweetened chalk. >> i never liked them. >> they don't taste like anything really, but they were always cool. >> thank goodness they still have the necco wafer. >> that's the same thing, sweetened chalk. >> kind of gross. so this morning, as you get ready to get up and get out the door, here is a live look outside at san rafael. we've seen a little bit of some patchy fog across parts of the

north bay, but we're looking good at that shot, but as we head up toward santa rosa, visibility down to a quarter of a mile, so you do need to watch out there, use those low beams as you get ready to head out the door, and then we're also seeing visibility mostly clear. i can still hear you guys. all right, temperatures in the upper 30s for parts of the north bay. fairfield is now at 38 degrees. it's 48 in oakland, as well as palo alto. so you do need a heavier jacket heading out the door. antioch we're dipping down to 39 degrees, so the heater may be on full blast for a little while, and then it's going to quickly warm up. at noon, 57 degrees continuing to go up. it's another great hair day. now our humidity is at 89%, but that's relative. our temperatures are so cool. it's really not that humid outside, so fairly crisp and the humidity drops as we go throughout the day as our high temperatures head up to 64 degrees in oakland, and in palo alto. we're up to 66 in santa rosa, and livermore we're seeing a high there of 63 degrees.

still nice and clear, no storms developing out in the pacific, although we are seeing some clouds moving through. that could increase our high cloud cover going into tomorrow, but still no rain. speaking of rain, i wanted to quickly show you the drought monitor because parts of the central sierra has been taken out of a drought and where we see yellow that's abnormally dry conditions, which is still not too bad, just slightly below where we should be in terms of our rainfall, but we do still have a moderate drought for parts of the south bay, the peninsula, as well as the north bay. so that's something we'll be watching as we continue on with a few more days of some dry conditions. and then looking at some highs warming up into the upper 60s for the weekend for our inland valleys. for the start of next week, we may have gusty winds picking up but no rain into thursday of next week and san francisco also slightly warmer than normal temperatures, watching out for the gusty winds on monday, and morning temperatures in the upper 40s but overall it's

looking pretty good throughout this seven-day forecast. and mike, you have something happening now in the south bay? >> right now we have a light flow of traffic but we're starting to see a few more cars and not really evident here in this shot on 101 northbound with the tail lights. this is just north at 680/280 interchange up here. we also look at more traffic flow over the santa cruz mountains. no problems for 17. that box just cleared from the report, from the monterey system, which is just south of san jose, headed through morgan hill. it's a smooth drive. now for your commute direction as well out of south county. a smooth flow of traffic, a little slowing, a little build out of the altamont pass for westbound 580 and watch eastbound, that construction crew still blocks at least one lane getting out of the area but no major crashes, not like yesterday. that's good stuff. a smooth drive through the rest of contra costa county, highway 4 at bailey, the crash is over on the shoulder and a smooth flow of traffic in toward the maze and toward the bay bridge toll plaza as well. i give you a look at mass transit, you can avoid the drive, just take the ride over on the rails, or here on the ferry system, no delays reported for the san francisco ferry

system. same thing for the golden gate ferry, no delays over the water. over the dublin grade, a clear view, look at this beautiful drive, this is westbound with the tail lights, again, talking about the traffic flow, a lot of traffic coming out of the altamont, and over in toward the dublin interchange and continuing west across the bay, here is the san mateo bridge, you need to drive over that high-ri high-rise, a tleer viclear view major problems. it's usually building later in the morning. back to you. coming up on "today in the bay," the reason a new documentary about the late king of pop, michael jackson, has many people upset. plus, warriors stars in washington, d.c., meeting with bay area congressional lawmakers, including nancy pelosi. up next, we'll show another political heavy hitter that the players were mingling with.

"leaving neverland" reintroduces the idea of pop star michael jackson preyed on young boys. he claimed his innocence and

the u.s. court system. the plan calls for agents to bus asylum seekers back and forth to the border for court hearings in downtown san diego. big news this morning, one of president trump's longest serving political advisers has been arrested. >> we're talking about roger stone, now in the custody of the fbi this morning. >> and charged with seven counts, laura, including witness tampering, obstruction and false statements. stone is a long time but unofficial adviser to the trump administration. before that, the trump campaign. the special counsel is particularly interested in stone's connections to wikileaks, which released the democrats' hacked emails hacked we think by russia. remember how important that hack was to the trump campaign. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. >> the fbi's investigation into a connection between the trump campaign and russia would begin four days after that speech.

stone denies he ever passed wikileaks information to the trump campaign, though he repeatedly bragged about his connections to wikileaks in the past. he even tweeted about it. stone is the sixth trump associate to be arrested, the 34th overall indicted by the special counsel. the senate voted on two bills to reopen the government on tuesday. both measures failed, one from the democrats, one from the republicans. this creates an opportunity for compromise. if there is any movement, it's towards the democrats, though it's subtle. one democrat voted for the republican plan yesterday, and six republicans voted for the democrats' plan. the president says he's looking forward to a compromise. >> it depends what the agreement is, yeah, but if they come to a reasonable agreement, i would support it, yes. >> the president says that, but even his closest republican backers have their doubts. remember, he indicated to

senators back last year, he would support a continuing resolution to keep the government open. they voted to keep it open. rush limbaugh complained and trump said senators did the wrong thing. the president doesn't really agree on a bill until he puts his signature on it. we're monitoring everything that's happening with roger stone. he's expected to be appearing in a court in florida later today. you can follow all of that on twitter. i'm @scottmcgrew. let's take you live to oracle arena in oakland. superstar from "the voice" brought down the house last night. ♪ can you make her out there? kelly clarkson rockin' the stage at oracle arena, kicking off her meaning of life tour. she pulled one of the camp fire heroes up on stage, alan pierce is an icu nurse who helped patience evacuate and escaped in his truck. >> you understand the domino effect. when people hear that, it makes
