"today in the bay" continues right now. a very good morning to you. it's friday. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. mike will have a look at your commute in a bit. first, we want to start out with temperatures outside. meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring that for us. >> it's cold once again. we start out with 30s and 40s across the bay area, and it's going to warm up, as we go into the afternoon. here is a live look in fremont, 880 is all clear. we're not looking at any fog as far as the visibility. we're going to see sunshine, warming our temperatures from the low 40s to the low 60s today, and all the bay area microclimates looking at some 60s today. it's going to feel very much like spring. we'll talk about what's ahead in our forecast coming up, and mike, you're getting us out there with a look at what's happening in san jose. >> we'll start with our camera

here for 101, where i saw a little bit of slowing, as you head up north of 680 in toward alum rock avenue and that's where we had an earlier crash reported. it looks like that traffic on a live shot just cleared up, so they may have cleared that crash from the lanes as well. i'll double check. so far, silicon valley and the rest of the bay showing you your friday commute, which means a little bit later start and a lot lighter early on. 6:01 right now, no major problems or slowing. we have the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. i go's thuess that is major flo but not unexpected. this approach on the left is a little bit lighter. back to you. >> all right, thanks, mike. right now, we are following breaking news for you. fbi arrests roger stone. he was president trump's former campaign adviser. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live for us in washington, d.c., with more on this investigation. a big surprise early this morning, tracie. >> well, it's a big surprise, and it's really a big deal. roger stone, the former trump campaign adviser and even after

he was off the payroll, very close with president trump, and the campaign, accused of colluding with wikileaks while wikileaks was released emails hacked by russians, emails that were damaging to hillary clinton's campaign. let's be clear, he is not accused of colluding with russia. he is accused of making false statements to the house intelligence committee about whether or not he was in touch with wikileaks, that was releasing those emails. this happened this morning. the arrest in florida, and we're hearing from the former cia director about just how important that email hack was in the final months of the campaign. >> 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 an opportunity -- >> robert mueller of the russia investigation, it includes seven specific counts, obstruction, witness tampering and five counts of making false statements regarding his statements to the house intelligence committee. keep in mind that stone has repeatedly denied any collusion. he said at one point he would never testify against president trump. he is making an appearance in federal court in just a couple of hours. back to you. >> we'll be watching for that one. tracie potts in washington, thank you, tracie. >> it is 6:03 right now. more breaking news, tsa agents will soon get a partial paycheck. this comes amid day 35 of the government shutdown. the agency's administrator just tweeted out the news saying "tsa employee. s who worked in an exempted status during pay period 26 will get a check." some hawaiian airlines

passengers bound for new york got an unexpected stop at san francisco international, this after a medical emergency in the air. it's a story that happened while you were sleeping. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live from sfo with more on what happened. kris? >> reporter: well, good morning to you, laura and marcus. hawaiian airlines is confirming it was a flight attendant who died on that flight from honolulu to jfk, but that's what sources are telling our nbc affiliate in honolulu this morning. we were here as that plane that was diverted, hawaiian airlines flight 50 finally took off again from sfo bound for jfk in new york, just before 5:00 this morning. that plane left honolulu at 4:20 yesterday afternoon, and at 6:20 our time, and due to land this morning in new york. that didn't happen because sometime around 1:00 in the morning the flight was diverted to sfo. one passenger tweeted flight attendants made an announcement calling for any doctor on board to help. the passenger tweeted "it's been

a long time since they asked for doctors to come to first class, so i hope they're okay." once medics boarded that plane, she tweeted "there are cops, too, and no one is moving with any urgency." we got the tail number of that plane to track it real time as it makes its way to jfk. it is now over utah. if you're wondering how common medical emergencies in flight are, the latest statistics i could find date back a couple of years. according to a "new england journal of medicine" survey, there's one medical emergency in flight for every 604 flights so they're not as uncommon as you think but certainly nothing as serious as what happened here. in san francisco, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> kris, thank you. 6:05 right now. in just a few hours, the travis air force base doctor convicted of sexually assaulting three of his patients was found guilty on multiple charges following a six-week trial. he's going to appear in court.

he gained trust of his victims all military veterans and got them to perform sex acts using what he called exposure therapy. two of those victims were looking for treatment for ptsd. >> 6:05 and new this morning, a bay area burmese restaurant chain is set to pay a multimillion-dollar settlement in a state wage theft investigation. the agreement includes present and former workers at burma ruby and palo alto and rangoon ruby restaurants in palo alto, san francisco, san carlos, burlingame and belmont. the belmont restaurant recently closed. in total 380 work eers will spl up about $4 million. the restaurant owners issue ude a statement saying "the settlement was a compromise and was reach out any admission of liability." happening today, the golden gate bridge district will be discussing a crash involving one of its boats, and how to move forward with making repairs. you might even remember this one. it happened back in november, when 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. and right now as we come up on 6:07, it's a clear start, live look outside in san jose, feels really chilly out there, and we've had some low visibility in spots. we're down to about a quarter mile visibility in parts of the north bay, with some of our temperatures that have been in the upper 30s and low 40s. so as you get up and get the kids out the door for school this morning in concord, expect it to be at about 40 degrees and then going to see those temperatures making it into the low 60s for today, after this chilly start. all that sunshine helps warm us up and it will be a very nice day. we will continue to see more weather like this, although we will see an increase in cloud cover going into the weekend. so i'll be tracking that, and the rest of the forecast coming up, and mike, you have a fairly pleasant start to the commute. >> very nice as far as the map behind me right now. basically from silicon valley

all the way up toward oakland, san francisco, a nice easy drive. you'd expect that on a friday, a little bit later start but we have the metering lights on at the bay bridge. south county i want to point out a couple things. we have slowing north 101 out of san martin but the earlier boxes or whatever they were in the lanes at cochran cleared from morgan hill and southbound 17 we have reports of one lane that may be blocked by some debris, headed down toward scotts valley. no slowing on the sensors, take note if that's where you're headed over the next few. over toward the bay bridge an easy drive, the times show you just 17 minutes from highway 4 to the backup at the bay bridge, that's a great drive down the east shore freeway. back to you. >> all right, thank you, mike. it is 6:08 right now. still ahead on "today in the bay," imagine booking some seats for your family to take a flight, but then you wind up with nearly 100 reservations. the mistake that was made and how our consumer team stepped in to help. intel has a big job opening and facebook is on the defensive this hour.

and all new this hour, free beer during a heat wave down under. the high temperatures that did not stop some folks from lining up. it is 6:08. you're watching "today in the bay." (time check (

right now it's 6:11. if you have plans to go to the sierra this weekend, it is cold this morning. take a look at our squaw creek

camera. it is 17 degrees, and we are going to have some great travel conditions. it's going to warm up to the mid-40s in squaw valley and alpine meadows. we have 125 inches of snow at the base of the mountain. we'll talk about what's going on here around the bay area for the weekend, coming up in less than five minutes. and if that's where you're going, maybe eastbound 580 is where you're headed, watch out. the slowing starts early this afternoon, with the tail lights off of the dublin grade at the top. westbound is your commute now, that's looking slower out of the altamont, nothing dramatic. we'll track your commute. good morning to you, and happy friday. markets did okay thursday, considering the commerce secretary said we're "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. we thought intel would announce a new ceo yesterday it didn't. the interim says he doesn't want

the job. let's talk about facebook first. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg wrote an op-ed in the "wall street journal" which he said people assume things we do that we don't do. for example, we don't sell people's data, even though it's often reported that we do. facebook is on the cusp we think of a massive fine from the ftc. it's sort of been on a long-term apology tour as well after a whole year of scandals in 2018, including the biggest with cambridge analytica. facebook said it would crack down on fake news. it often announces something, way to ver diversity reports, new initiatives when it's in a cycle. it's been proven over and over companies make more money and perform better in the stock market if they have women on the board, but should you legislate that? we're going to debate that issue this sunday morning on

"press:here" that comes up at 9:00 after "meet the press." obviously it's the right thing for companies to do but should you force the free market to do what's good for them, right? if you require women on the board, why stop there? i put that question to the head of the women's corporate board directors association. we absolutely have established women on boards make companies better. would a minority on a board make a company better? >> absolutely. >> should we legislate that, require there be a minority on the board? >> i think that may be the next step. >> would a veteran on the board make a company better? >> yes. >> should we legislate that? >> this is a hard answer, okay, because legislating anything doesn't sit well in america. >> thea schwabacher is a personal friend so it's great to argue a point with somebody like that. >> we do it all the time. >> there are no hard feelings. i'm just trying to understand, is this the right thing to do. i fully support it. i think it's a great idea, obviously women, minorities. >> it's diversity i think.

it's more reflective of who we are. >> but do you make it a law? >> that is a tough one. >> it's tough and we'll talk about it this sunday morning. >> looking forward to that. >> looking forward to that. in south texas, strong winds knocking down a spacex rocket. 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 to mars. something that makes a lot of people happy, beer. two words got a lot of people's attention, free beer. one australian pub is holding true to its free beer promise which it made to customers as the summer temperatures sky rocketed this week. the pub said it would pick up the tab if temperatures went over 113 degrees. the thermometer in there yesterday hit 115.

a little beer cheer there can be nice for a lot of people, but people everywhere are feeling that heat. >> like i just sweated my entire body weight out. >> i tried to drink water from the water fountain so it's boiling, pretty hot. >> the temperatures yesterday in adelaide broke an 80-year record. >> that is hot. i hope it was ice cold beer. i went to phoenix for a short time and this is why. one summer it was 121. i was doing a live shot outside. >> you said your shoes were sinking into the tarmac. >> my heels into the tarmac out there. >> wow. >> 110. >> it's pretty wicked hot. it's like being in an oven. >> and it's hard to imagine right now they're in the middle of summer, while we're in the middle of winter. but hey, that's what's going on. we are really enjoying some nice weather for the bay area. it does start out cool, but by this afternoon, it will be a distant memory. here is a live look in dublin.

a lot of people up and out the door. we've seen patches of fog but none in the tri valley. as we start out this morning, it's cold. 37 degrees, but a lot of sunshine, allows temperatures to warm up fast. we'll be in the low 60s by early afternoon, and as you're getting ready, the frizz factor is low. we are going to have some great conditions for styling your hair and keeping it smooth today, because that humidity stays low today, and not much of a wind. so as we look at what to expect as we go throughout the day, our high in santa rosa reaches 66 degrees. oakland 64, also 64 in palo alto. morgan hill we're going to see a high of 67 degrees. it is all clear, and we are starting to see some clouds moving in from the south, but this will not bring us any rain. just give us a little bit of filtered sunshine for the weekend, and that's what we can expect into next week. i wanted to give you an update on our drought status, because this is just released yesterday morning, and it shows that parts of the central sierra has been taken out of a drought.

while we do still have the yellow category, the abnormally dry for parts of the central valley, into the bay area, and then we look at the south bay, and parts of the north bay, we are still in a moderate drought, as we could use some more rain, but as you could see, there's none of that in this seven-day forecast. we're reaching up to 66 today for some of our inland valleys and slightly warmer, going into the weekend, despite the cloud cover that we'll see, it will be breezy, starting out and some milder mornings, looking at san francisco, mostly staying in the 60s over the next seven days. and mike, you're getting us out there on the road with a look at the bridges. >> the bridges are the popular connector, obviously, the only way you can drive across or over the water, i should say. those are the critical factors from the east bay to the peninsula, your commute direction. it's so the lighter commute continues. the dumbarton bridge and san mateo bridges westbound is your commute just a little bit of

slowing as you approach the toll plaza, no problem and the nimitz freeway shows a smooth flow of traffic as well. up toward the bay bridge and the richmond to san rafael bridge, both of those westbound pushes are fine, but we do have the backup over at the bay bridge toll plaza. contra costa county is just fine. look at this, this is not far from pixar, we have our animated cars here. there is no lightning flow, it's still slow but no need for metering. that is the virtual look. here is the real look. the left approach is lighter coming out of the maze, and that's the pattern that we expect, just after 7:00, we'll see all the lanes really start to pack in, folks head into the office a little bit later on a friday but still do commute. that late morning commute will be the one on friday and early afternoon, as folks make a getaway, a smooth drive and smooth ride for all of these transit agencies reported, no delays over the water for the ferry systems either, and here is the north bay, southbound 101 picks up the volume but no major delays. this is san rafael, but you're fine novato to the going going.

>> that was a fun animated traffic thing. looking for lightning mcqueen there. thanks, mike. we've all talked about keeping san francisco clean. coming up at 6:30, the new steps the city is taking specifically when it comes to bathrooms. he books four airline tickets for the family, but winds up with almost 100 reservations. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.

6:22 for you on this friday morning. nbc bay area responds to a union city man's travel problems. >> he booked four airline tickets but ended up with dozens by mistake. he asked consumer investigator chris chmura's team for help. >> ray ruelos booked a simple spring trip for his family of four. turns out the travel agency charged him repeatedly for the four tickets. ray wound up with 96 different reservations, enough to occupy a third of all the seats on an international airliner. you needed four tickets but you got 96. >> that's correct. >> reporter: could you even fill up 96 seats with your friends and family? >> no. >> it's silly but ray was on the hook for serious money, more than $50,000. he said he tried to point out what he thought was obvious, the charges were duplicate, and yet over a two-month span, he wasn't able to get a full refund. so he called us.

we looked into how one family could wind up with 96 airline tickets. we asked why no one flagged the repetitive reservations, and well, we of course, took action to get ray his money back. we'll show you what happened tonight at 11:00. if you have a consumer complaint, let us know, 888-996-tips or go to nbcbayarea.com/responds. i'll see you again tonight at 11:00. >> thanks, chris. 6:24 right now. new for you this morning, a central indiana school superintendent is facing fraud charges for using her insurance to help a sick student. according to court documents, casey smitherman took her 15-year-old student to a clinic after the student became sick and didn't show up for school. police said smitherman used her insurance information to check the student in under her son's name. she also used her insurance to pay for an antibiotic prescription for the teen. the community and school are standing behind her. >> the lady tried to help a young man that needed help and

bridge as well as san mateo and the dumbo are looking great. of course this is friday. we'll show you what you can expect around the bay. 6:44 right now. a live look at sfo, where a flight was diverted in the late night hours after a death on board. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez live at the airport this morning. kris, we're learning a person who died was, in fact, a flight itend a attendant. >> reporter: at this point, hawaiian airlines isn't confirming it. that's who sources tell our nbc affiliate in honolulu this morning. we were here as the plane took off from the terminal at sfo bound for new york's jfk, just before 5:00 this morning. that plane left honolulu at 4:20 yesterday afternoon, at 6:20 our time and due to land this morning in new york, but sometime around 1:00 in the morning, that flight was diverted here to sfo, that would be 11:00 last night. one passenger tweeted that flight attendants made an announcement calling for any doctor on board to show up for

help. this passenger tweeted "it's been a long time since they asked for doctors to come to first class, so i hope they're okay." if you are wondering how common medical emergencies are in flight, according to the latest statistics i could find, it happens about one in every 604 flights. here at sfo, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest, kris. 6:46 right now. new this morning, tsa agents will soon be getting a partial paycheck, this comes amid day 35 of the government shutdown. agents administrator tweeted out the news. here in the bay area, help is on the way for some tsa employees. >> please donate to tsa. they're working without pay. >> san jose's airport, one group is working to collect donations again today to help workers, the goal is to raise $10,000. many of the volunteers say it is not fair for the tsa agents to be working without pay. >> i've talked to several tsa workers that are sleeping in

their cars, they have no gas, it's just a method to help support them. >> so far, the group has already collected more than $5,000. breaking news this morning, one of the president's longest serving political advisers has been arrested. >> roger stone in the custody of the fbi this morning, scott. >> yes, and charged, laura, with seven counts, including witness tampering, obstruction and false statements. we have the indictment right here. stone, a long time but unofficial adviser to the trump administration, and 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 what president trump said there in to 16. 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. a short time ago, sarah huckabee sanders appeared on cnn. she was asked three times whether the president directed a senior campaign official to contact roger stone about wikileaks. she declined to answer all three times. it was also pointed out to her, stone is the sixth person connected to the trump campaign to be indicted. in fact, paul manafort, the campaign chairman, will be in court this morning. here's her reaction. >> real simple, this has nothing to do with the president and certainly nothing to do with the white house. this is something that has to do solely with that individual, and not something that affects us here in this building. >> pictures in to the newsroom from a news helicopter over roger stone's home this morning, where he was arrested earlier.

stone is expected in court later today. we'll stay on top of that for you. the senate voted on two bills to reopen the government on tuesday. both measures failed, one from the democrats, one from the republicans. as we were saying yesterday, 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, but 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 in december he would support a continuing resolution to keep the government open. they voted to keep it open. then ann coulter, 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. so much going on today, stone in court, manafort in court, you've

got the shutdown. we'll be following it all on twitter, follow me ther there @scottmcgrew. we follow the fun as well. say good-bye to what some say are their favorite valentine's day candy, the conversation hearts with little messages on them. the original maker necco closed the factory last year. the new owner of sweethearts said it didn't have enough time to produce the wildly popular sweet treats. however it promised you'll see sweethearts next year. the ohio-based company released a statement with an image of three candy hearts bearing "miss you too" "wait for me" "back soon." crisp country cream are offering new conversation doughnuts for valentine's day to take the place. kari got excited i guess for the doughnuts. she's posting, is this on instagram or facebook? >> um-hum. >> nice hair band. >> yeah, the sprinkles falling. >> lighten the look. >> you had some strong feelings

about the loss of those sweethearts, kari. >> the sweet chalk i call it. >> no love lost? >> no. i'd rather have -- >> your sweetheart better not give you those. >> we're getting ready for valenti valentine's day already i guess. it starts out cool this morning as you get ready to head out the door. it will be a beautiful day. here is a live look outside in walnut creek. we've seen some drifts of fog in the distance, but here it looks like visibility is fairly clear, as you get ready to head to work, but let's get a look at the north bay, where we have quarter-mile visibility in santa rosa. that means you can't see very far ahead of your headlights. so you do want to slow it down. elsewhere, we've seen some light patchy fog and looking at temperatures that are very cold, in the upper 30s for many of our inland valleys so as you're walking the kids to school, it will be one to bundle up with concord temperatures starting out at about 40 degrees and reaching into the mid-50s, as we go throughout late morning/early afternoon. we're back in the 60s, so as you

the folks just want more camera time. are we going to fall for that? no. i'm going to show you traffic is flowing smoothly and get off of that shot and hopefully discourage them for slowing for no reason. we'll continue to track that. the sensors show that build as well and we'll continue to scan the chp reports and everything else out there. dumbarton bridge shows a little slowing as well, westbound your build off the nimitz is starting to happen right now, and there's a crash south 880 right around dixie landing road as well. we're going to track that and get updates. so far no details from chp. this looks like the same slowing we saw when there was a crash eastbound 580 but not this morning. the crash is westbound on the shoulder. it's eastbound with construction or road crews that continue throughout, much into the late morning so just be prepared if you're headed out of livermore and in toward tracie. longer drive down 17 no problems to or from santa cruz and the slowing clearing through san martin, the first burst hit and up toward morgan hill and meshed in with san jose without problems for silicon valley. a nice clear view of the golden
