in christchurch, where a gunman opened fire on two separate mosques, slaughtering worshippers right during friday prayers service. >> it's horrible. the attack as authorities around the world including right here in the bay area on high alert. here are the latest developments. the number of dead now at 49. dozens of others are injured. right now it's believed one man armed to the hilt attacked both mosques, but authorities are not yet confirming it's actually the same man. but he is now in custody. in a side note, the attacker livestreamed his rampage. when authorities realized it, the video was quickly pulled from many social media sites. just released a few minutes ago, the white house is condemning the attack. president trump is dealing with dissension in the ranks. his signature issue, that border wall with mexico, got a definitive no from a dozen republicans. tracie potts is live in washington with what happened and what this means for the border wall and really for the republican party as they're working with president trump.

tracie? >> right, so when it comes to the border wall t looks like the president will get the money that he went after, but not without some political cost. a big chunk, well, about 12 of the republicans in the senate pushed back very hard at the president on this, and now he will decide whether or not to veto that rejection. >> are there any senators wishing to change their vote? >> reporter: a republican revolt. >> yeas are 59. >> reporter: 12 members of the president's own party joined democrats to beannounc what they consider a power grab. president trump declaring a national emergency to pay for a border wall after congress said no. >> this is not about the president or about border security. this is a constitutional issue. >> reporter: the constitution says congress, not the president, decides how to spend tax dollars. >> so now he's violating the constitution to steal money that has been appropriated by this branch. >> reporter: some republicans

are concerned it sets a bad precedent and could back-fire on them. >> already democrat presidential candidates are saying they would declare emergencies to tear down the existing border wall, to take away guns. >> reporter: the block from congress will force mr. trump's first presidential veto. >> i'll do a veto. it's not going to be overturned. >> president trump will prevail. his veto will be sustained. >> reporter: still democrats are hopeful. >> my hope is republicans now see how this president is trampling on the constitution and understand that it is possible, in fact courageous, to stand up to him. >> reporter: unlikely allies across party lines, but for how long? >> that was tracie potts in washington. u.s. immigration and border authorities so far are not commenting on this video here on your screen, which was posted last night to twitter. it shows a group of people breaching a section of the border wall on the coast in playa del tijuana, where it meets the southwest

corner of san diego. in the video, 330 people break through, including children, seemingly overwhelming a border patrol agent. it is not clear whether this happened this week or maybe even years ago, but the video has a lot of people talking this morning. >> it is 6:06. back here in the bay area, where will the raiders play next season? in a few hours we'll learn whether or not they'll stay in oakland for one more year. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live outside the coliseum where a decision is expected later this morning. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. yes, in a few hours at 8:30 this morning, the commissioners with the oakland alameda coliseum authority are going to vote on whether or not to extend the lease agreement for the raiders to play at the coliseum here this upcoming football season, with the option of extending to 2020, if their new stadium in las vegas isn't complete by then. the problem is, their lease with the coliseum ended last season.

both sides had a deal to extend, but that fell apart when the city sued the raiders and nfl in federal court for breach of contract over their planned move to sin city. you might recall the raiders did look temporarily at playing at levi's stadium in santa clara and oracle park in sf, but neither location materialized, so here they are back to square one. oakland city councilman ignacio de la fuente, also commissioner with the coliseum authority, says the lease amount would be more than $3.5 million that was paid annually under the previous arrangement. if the authority approves the lease today, the oakland city council and alameda county board of supervisors would also have to give their own thumbs up. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> a lot of people coming this one. thanks so much, bob. out with the old and in with the new. a live look at the raider's future taj mahal, the stadium built near the las vegas strip. if you're wondering, vegas

newsom, his tweet "pittsburgh, charlton, quebec, new zealand, no one should have to fear going to their place of worship. the hate that has fueled these horrific and cowardly acts must be called out. california stands with new zealand and muslims everywhere. "i want to go to a portion of the statement from the council on american islamic relations condemning the attacks in new zealand. a portion of it where, they say "we mourn the heartbreaking killings of men, women and children gathered for prayer in their houses of worship and urge leaders in our nation and worldwide to speak out forcefully against the growing anti-muslim and anti-immigrant hate that appears to have motivated these white supremacist terrorists." now the cair chapter in sacramento tweeted this as well from their executive director who says they have family in new zealand and there's a lot of refugees there who left war-torn countries to find a safe haven and call the incident absolutely heartbreaking. we'll keep an eye out for local reaction this morning. cair, the national organization l hold their news conference on

probably be even worse. more than 120,000 of us spend at least three hours a day every day getting to work and back. that's according to a new study by apartment list. if you live in the immediate bay area, say san jose, oakland or san francisco, there's about a 5% chance that you spend at least 90 minutes getting to then another 90 minutes coming home. we're not just talking about drivers here. the study includes some commuters who use b.a.r.t. a lot of time spent in transportation. >> yes. what about in the car on the road to tahoe? it's always nice when 80 is cleared. it's better when it's clear of the snow, and you're not taking a seven, eight-hour trip up there, but the storms now in our rear view mirror for the most part, it's a great week to understand go skiing or snowboarding. >> "today in the bay's" kira klapper joins us now, and kira, despite all of the gorgeous weather this week, the sunshine and ski resorts are not losing any of their snow. >> and talking about traffic, i'm worried it will be a seven,

eight-hour commute there because everyone is going to want to go to tahoe. it's going to be sunny and snowy all weekend. many people are telling us this season is one for the record books. just take a look at these totals, keep in mind these numbers are only for the snow season alone. squaw valley, alpine meadows, highest elevations are seeing 621 inches, that's more than 51 feet of snow. even heavenly, which is at the bottom of the list, is seeing 436 inches, that's 36 feet. at sports basement in campbell, winter gear was flying off the shelves. many people said they were preparing to cut out early today to hit the slopes this weekend. >> everyone wants to go to tahoe because it's so beautiful, and it's a really fun sport and that's why we like to help people get the right equipment. >> i've been working a lot so i have a chance this weekend, my kids are not going to be with me so i'm escaping. >> "escaping." this is video from squaw alpine.

looks like they were there yesterday. many of the resorts we talked to say they actually think they'll extend their ski seasons this year. >> oh yes. they already have. no, they're already going until july some of them. >> july! three months later than normal. >> you see the bikinis, you ski in the morning and on the lake by the afternoon to enjoy the fireworks. >> that would be incredible. and i think we have video to show one of our family members, marcus washington, on his way to tahoe yesterday, getting a jump on everyone. looks like he was beating the traffic, which is good there. >> i told him, leave early. he made it. >> it's his first time. >> i know! i'm so excited for him. i'm such a tahoe fan. he's going skiing for the first time. >> for the first time. he has a long way to fall. he's 6'4", that's a big descent. >> or will get a lot of good posing photos. >> oh, yeah. >> instagram, he's like a model, so check out, follow what he's doing this weekend in tahoe.

>> i told him, french fries, pizza. eat the pizza and you'll go down slower. >> he'll be in ski school with the little ones. >> that's a funny picture. >> that would be cute. >> hopefully he comes back in one piece. well, it is a good week to understand head up to 80 through tahoe. let's hope not everybody goes. >> i was going to say, laura, i think the conditions are great but as kira mentioned, traffic may make things slow, just like it's a snowstorm but the roadways are looking great. best wishes to marcus on his first ski lessons out there and also the folks near him, because he has long skis. over here looking at a nice, easy drive. your longer drives are looking great and so are shorter drives. a little bit of traffic building for the south bay and over in the east bay. highway 4 is the only area where we had any problems. the crash at bailey cleared, great recovery but the right side at somersville, westbound highway 4 in the backup before it could clear we have a crash causing more slowing. the rest of the bay shows a

great drive. the bay bridge toll plaza has no metering lights right now. >> what? i feel like you should whisper that. >> shhh. we've been talking about tahoe, how perfect it is to go up there this weekend, but it's going to be perfect pretty much anywhere you want to go. >> it's great. >> we could go to the beach, you were saying. >> beach day. i know, it sounds a little crazy. >> not if you have a wet suit. >> cold water. >> i still never get in the water, it could be 100 degrees outside and you're not kacatchi me in the pacific. st. patrick's day celebration, whether it be san francisco, dublin, there are so many, here is one you can probably head to, in dublin on sunday and this happens at the civic center, an all-day free event. it's one of our warmer days so far. on sunday, upper 60s and 70s, woo hoo. let's talk about what you can expect for saturday for the coast, bay and inland areas. coast looking at that, 65 degrees and i know we're not in the 80s per se for beach weather, but it's going to be so sunny, that you're going to be able to maybe get a tan.

bay 66 degrees, inland 70, and then on sunday's forecast for the coast, bay and inland it's even warmer, we're going to be warming up into the mid-70s that will set us up for a beautiful weekend ahead. lake tahoe stunning weather. 49 degrees of course. mountains so it's still a little cooler than what we'll see throughout the day area. by sunday 54 degrees and headed down to monterey, 63 degrees. look at the skies, so much sunshine, plenty to go around. back to you. >> looks good. thanks. next on "today in the bay," and all new this hour, could this be the future of esports? the state-of-the-art gaming studio enveiled here in the bay area. at 6:50, the new look we're getting inside. and in just hours, the raiders' future could have more clarity. the vote we're waiting for so die whether the team plays next. the white house defiant this morning, after a string of losses. let's take you out to the big board this morning. they started with a moment of

silence over new zealand. dow industrials gaining 23 points. you're watching "today in the bay."

it is 6:44, if you're running late, hurry, but don't worry. we'll have a sunny day. san jose's temperature trend, in the 40s, a little cool but look at the icons, that's all sunshine. we're talking mid to upper 60s throughout the entire bay area, so plan accordingly. i'll talk about your weekend forecast, what you can expect for st. patrick's day and how is the snowpack doing in lake tahoe? details coming up. this live camera at the san mateo bridge westbound commute started to slow down. i'm scanning the reports to find out what's going on because it's not really the volume i didn't think because look at the bay

bridge toll plaza, so we'll compare your drives, coming up. one of our top stories today, where will the raiders play next season? today we learn whether or not they'll stay in oakland for one more year. bob redell is live outside the coliseum where a decision is expected this morning and a lot of folks are wondering. bob? >> reporter: kris, about 8:30 this morning commissioners with the oakland alameda county coliseum authority will decide whether or not to extend the lease agreement to allow the oakland raiders to play in the coliseum this upcoming football season, talking about the 2019 football season, with the option of extending that lease agreement to the fall of 2020, if their new stadium in las vegas isn't complete by then. the problem is, their lease with the coliseum ended last season. both sides had a deal to extend, but that fell apart when the city sued the raiders and nfl in federal court for breach of contract over their planned move to sin city.

you might recall the raiders did look temporarily at playing at levi's stadium in santa clara and oracle park in sf, but neither location materialized, so here they are back to square one. oakland city councilman ignacio de la fuente, also commissioner with the coliseum authority, says the lease amount would be more than $3.5 million that was paid under the previous arrangement. if the authority approves the lease later this morning, the oakland city council and alameda county board of supervisors would also have to give their own thumbs up. their approval. reporting outside the coliseum in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. 6:46 now. if you take b.a.r.t., you could soon have one more way to pay. add fare machines may finally be able to take your credit card and debit card. right now if you are out, you can v to ask a station attendant

for permission. two of the new machines were installed at the embarcadero station over the last few weeks. stations between 24th street and will see them by mid-april. young people across the nation, including here in the bay area are organizing a plan to walk out of class today. it's part of a global call for action on climate change called the youth climate strike. in the bay area alone, some 20 events are planned, that includes the march in san francisco, starting at 10:00 this morning, it will go from nancy pelosi's office to union square, that's where students will rally. on our website we put together the complete list. a string of defeats for president trump over the last 24 hours. >> scott mcgrew, he says he's ready to fight back. >> that's right. he says he's going to veto a resolution, laura, that passed both the house and then the senate, trying to stop him from taking money from the military to build his wall. here's his reaction. "veto!" in a simple tweet. we knew there would be republicans voting against the president's plan but it turned out to be far more republicans

than we expected. we figured about four and ended up with 12. now it's not that those republicans don't agree with the need for a wall or don't support the president broadly. it's that they feel the president was taking too much power. they were defending their branch of government legislative against the executive. remember, beto o'rourke, a democrat was against president obama's executive order requiring deferred action against daca, the dreamers. not because he doesn't support dreamers but he thought president obama was using power he didn't have and he was taking that power away from congress. in the meantime, the house voted unanimously, democrats, democrats together voted to demand the mueller report released to the public. that move has been blocked in the senate by the president's closest ally, senator lindsey graham. he doesn't want the public to see it. to be clear, there are two mueller reports. the report mueller makes to the attorney general, bill barr, and then barr gives a report about the report to congress.

it's unlikely you'll see the raw details that barr sees. that's by design. the rules changed after the special investigation and eventual impeachment of bill clinton that were very intimate details in that investigation that made their way into the public, and the intention was to not let that happen again. president trump has not reacted to north korea's new statement it may resume missile testing after the failed summit in vietnam. trump and north korean dictator kim have had two meetings, you recall they used to call each other names, then president trump said they were in love. the north korean foreign minister just told reporters "the men's chemistry is still mysteriously wonderful," but warned north korea may withdraw from further talks and resume testing. we're following everything that's happening in washington on twitter. follow me @scottmcgrew. >> thanks a lot, scott. 6:49 right now. new this morning, we're giving you a first look inside as one of the giants in the gaming industry brings esports to its home base right here in

the bay area. electronic arts or ea has always said if it's in the game, it's in the game. we're going forward, some of the biggest games will take place at the ea broadcast center at ea's redwood city headquarters, top flight competitive gaming. the center debuts today with a live madden competition, offering a $190,000 grand prize. >> wow. >> right now, i wish i knew how to play that. >> it's in the game. we had the esports -- >> you stayed up way past your bedti bedtime. >> i was up until we usually get up. esports arena in oakland. we had them featured revelations. the evolution of the history of the video game. >> unwione of the joys of playi video games you don't have to get in traffic. >> get out this weekend! put down the devices! >> it will be great, shining bright, just like you this morning. >> oh! >> oh!

>> happy friday. our temperatures are going to be in the 30s. i know that was a little cheesy but that's what i was feeling in my heart. clear skies right now. beautiful sunrise and the seven-day forecast will pop up at the bottom of your screen. if you're in a hurry and want to know what's going on the next seven days, i got you covered. 42 degrees in san jose, wind speeds are light in through the tri-valley in dublin, 36 degrees, wind speeds 3 miles per hour. winds not a factor but i want to show you how beautiful san francisco looks. look at the golden gate bridge shot, 48 degrees and doppler radar not a lot going on. this is what a quiet radar looks like. we will maybe have a couple high clouds rolling through but that's not going to affect our daytime highs by much. our microclimate highs for today will be warming up beautifully into the mid and upper 60s. 64 degrees for san francisco. 65 for oakland, through palo alto 68 and we have 70s on the map up through the north bay. i know a lot of people are headed out to the sierra, a big weekend for tahoe. using our weather underground cameras, a beautiful shot there.

i did say i'd bring up the snowpack. currently at about 159% of statewide average so what does that mean for your weekend forecast? are you going to enjoy the snow in will you. friday, saturday and sunday, 52 degrees into saturday. sunday 54. i know a lot of people are going to be driving up today, so check the road conditions regardless because you might hit some traffic because of all the people headed up there. again, that high pressure will dominate, long range outlook right now staying warm through monday, and then just looking ahead, i don't want to scare you with the rain but we have some showers off to the coast. don't get scared, y'all. i heard a little scream by mike. rain on the way tuesday night into wednesday. probably because he has to look out for you all on the road, slow down, everybody! st. patrick's day whether you're headed into the city, in the tri-valley or down near the south bay, beautiful weather, 70s are going to be lingering all the way through monday for san francisco, but then we've got several days of it in through the inland areas, before

we see a decrease in temperatures for the rain chances by next wednesday. mike, how are the roads right now? >> vianey, they are great, but we do have the metering lights just got turned on at the bay bridge, about ten minutes ago. here the fast track lanes have the biggest backup so as i often tell you on a friday, if you bring cash, mom says you should always carry cash, you can get out of that backup and get through faster. we had the metering lights turned on because there was an issue on the bay bridge, i saw flashing lights just clear, should be fine. over here we see the build through walnut creek. folks let loose after the earlier crashes in antioch and bay point. highway 4 slow around summersville but also building in toward concord where we have the live camera right with the orange and yellow blip. the rest of the bay looks great, a slower drive developed, we talked about that across the san mateo bridge, comparing that with the dumbarton bridge, west 84, obviously much clearer, but you know what? there were no incidents reported on the san mat. that was the timing. everybody meets on the flat section, that slows you down, getting over to the peninsula, there may be tire debris just before 101.

here is 101, this is beautiful if you are headed south like the tail lights, you see the beautiful silhouette we see here and a nice flow. back to you. >> all right, let's hope it stays that way. thanks, mike. 6:53. a huge meth am get even if bust southeast of the bay area. more than a half million dollars worth of the drug off the streets. the bust happened during a traffic stop in fresno. an informant tipped off authorities a los angeles man was in town to sell drugs. officers found 11 pounds of meths. detectives say the drugs came from mexico. next on "today in the bay," a quick look at top stories, including another outage, the third impacting a bay area company this week. this time apple. what apple is dealing with this morning. but first, the overnight developments in that mass shooting at two different mosques in new zealand. you go inside and go one by one, everybody killing and some people died. some people did. >> brand new information on what

moments before the bullets flew, a social media account tied to one of the suspects posted a hate-filled manifesto. live to san francisco, where police are stepping up patrols at mosques this morning, including this one in vernal heights. this is happening throughout the state. governor newsom is tweeting this morning "no one should have to here to going to their place of worship." the "today" show continues our coverage of the mass shooting at 7:00 this morning. we're learning more about the victims and the suspects, and of course, the investigation. the man accused of the brutal killing of a young woman at an oakland b.a.r.t. station may enter a plea today. john lee cowell faces murder and attempted murder charges for last year's deadly stabbing at the macarthur b.a.r.t. station. this is 18-year-old nia wilson, who died in that attack. her sister was also stabbed but survived. apple is not saying what caused a widespread outage with icloud yesterday. the service was down for several hours. features like sign-in, backup contacts, mail and file storage

all took a hit. this is actually the third major tech outage this week. for some people, facebook and instagram and whatsapp went down for most of wednesday. there was also a gmail and google drive outage this week as well. >> i'll be honest, that's one of the reasons i'm reticent to put everything in the cloud. something happens, you cannot eight get your stuff. zbl >> i'm a little old school. i write things down. >> carry pictures around and carry a checkbook. >> i don't know. >> young whipper snapper. >> and an abachus. >> get off my lawn while you're at it! >> this is my ball. today you could mow your lawn no, muddy conditions no, rain in sight. san francisco climbing into the 70s by saturday into sunday and inland areas as well. >> mike issing looking at that getaway. >> i am. getting to work is all right. the bay bridge toll plaza has your metering lights on. highway 4 is still slow recovering from two earlier crashes, but really the big deal will be getting out of town,
