"today in the bay's" marianne favro has her harrowing story. >> reporter: this is video alexis shepherd took what have it's like inside that cruise ship. the seas are so rough, you see a piano bench and planters sliding across the lounge. while big chunks of the ceiling fall on passengers. shepherd posted these photos on twitter showing people wedged

into halls and theaters, their life vests on, all waiting to be rescued by helicopters. the bates were one of the first to make it to land. >> very frightening. went up on a helicopter with the sling, the two of us together and it was quite scary. >> reporter: a mayday call went out after the "viking sky" experienced engine problems in rough seas and began to drift toward land. the strong winds and waves over 25 feet are tossing the ship from side to side. passenger dr. ann marie decker describes what it was like. >> a big, huge wave hit to our muster station we were inside and it broke open either the glass door or window, i think it pushed open and my friend and i and a lot of other people were completely underwater for a minute. there was a lot of blood all over. >> reporter: you can see passengers dangling in the air as they're hoisted up to choppers, which can only carry 20 people at a time.

once passengers reached land, they received medical attention, and were taken to nearby hotels. as for alexis shepherd, she tweeted "battery dying and people sleeping everywhere, probably my last tweet of the night." marianne favro, "nbc bay area news." the stanford community is mourning the death of one of its student. misha nee died studying in spain. he was hiking with a group on friday when he left to explore a nearby hill. when he didn't return, rescue crews started their search. this body was found a day later. he fell quite a distance in what was described as "difficult and rocky terrain." now to a disaster for drivers on the grapevine headed into l.a. a massive pile-up that involved about 30 cars. we have video of all the damage. this happened yesterday on the south side of i-50 near gorman,

in northern l.a. county. officials say it was the result of two different multivehicle crashes, anywhere from 50 to 100 cars got stuck. >> i got so scared, i was holding the steering wheel. i couldn't do nothing. >> at least 30 people were injured, including one child, who was critically injured and air lifted to the hospital. one horse was killed. all southbound lanes were shut down because of the crash, but they are now reopened. back here locally in marin county, a car plunged down a steep hill and the driver was killed. this happened on ridgecrest boulevard in mt. tamalpias state park. the car ended up 600 feet below the road. crews lowered themselves to the car but the driver was dead. 'not clear what caused him to crash. a major security scare at sfo, investigators are trying to

figure out how it all happened. what happened was yesterday morning at 6:30 at a tsa exec point, hundreds of passengers and more than 20 flights ended up being delayed after a security preach. tsa workers say a passenger had a loaded magazine in his carry-on. agents flagged the bag, but then picked up the wrong bag to inspect. so the passenger and his ammo kept going. agents finally found him, using surveillance cameras. >> he went to this flight his flight. he had no idea anything was wrong, he was going on as normal. >> the tsa says agents at sfo are private security personnel. the agency will work with their contractor to find out exactly what happened and why. tsa says that the passenger with the loaded magazine ended up being cited by police and his penalty are steep. he could pay upwards of $13,000.

we are learning new information about a stabbing on b.a.r.t. in oakland. if you can see this guy in these photos, b.a.r.t. police say he is the one who stabbed another man on a train headed into the fruitvale station on friday. we told you about this yesterday morning. investigators say he and the victim got into a fight before the attacker stabbed the other man in the neck. b.a.r.t. stopped service for two hours, while they looked for that man. we are told the victim is going to be okay. today dozens of people will meet up in san jose, they're all fans of one mural, and they want it back. we first told you about mural de la rassa in august, one of the last chicano murals in san jose. the artist painted it back in 1985 on the side of a payless shoe stores. last summer, someone painted it to look like this. members of the community sent a letter to the building owners and the city demanding the mural

be restored. that still hasn't happened. they'll meet where the mural once stood at noon today to drive their point home. just shy of 7:10, much more ahead on "today in the bay." we'll take you live to washington, d.c., for our weekly interyou have with chuck todd, moderate of "meet the press" "meet the press." and a monster jackpot was on the line, we'll tell you the winning numbers and whether any of us won. and we bring in "chuck todd.

nbc news political welcome back at 7:12. our political analyst larry gerston joins me and as usual on sundays, we bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press" "meet the press." we're lucky enough to ask him a few questions before we see his show at 8:00. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. >> we want to ask you about something rarely mentioned in this weekend's news cycle, just kidding, horrible joke. the mueller investigation. >> yes. >> it is officially over. special counsel robert mueller

submitted his report to attorney general william barr. can you give us in i insight what do we know? what's next? >> well on the show today, i have one former fbi official, chuck rosenberg who expects, i was trying to understand, what is the definition of principal conclusions, right, the attorney general said in a memo on friday that he would as soon as this weekend perhaps pass along his principal conclusions from the mueller report to congress. how do you define that? chuck rosenberg says expect something extraordinarily narrow, the table of contents to a big, long report or a book, it could be tantalizing that table of contents, but there's no supporting paper underneath it, so you don't know what to make of some of those chapter titles. that's what type of report or principal conclusions they may get. they're not going to see much detail at all, because there's going to be a big fight over what does congress get to see,

how much of it, and how much does the public get to see. >> so not even a cliff notes version, just a table of contents. >> i don't think we'll get cliff notes today, no. i think we get chapter titles at best. >> verying it. >> beyond the wait and see statements by democratic leaders do you get a sense the lack of further indictments by mueller has the democrats rattled? >> it's interesting. i asked jerry nataler, the house judiciary chair what he made of the no new indictments and more importantly whether, after reading the whole report when he gets his hands on it, will he trust the conclusions that mueller came to, and for him, he says it's going to depend on what the underlying evidence that is provided says on that. so i think some democrats believe you can't come to a collusion conclusion if the investigation into collusion was obstructed.

until they see the obstruction aspect of the mueller report, i have a feeling democrats aren't going to say much. i'll tell you this, larry, i did get the sense that if mueller, if this is it, and the public is like let's move on, that maybe there isn't the same political support for more investigations. >> wow, really good insight there. chuck, we love talking to you on sundays and we'll see you here at 8:00. thanks so much. >> sounds good, guys. >> join chuck todd for this morning's "meet the press" "meet the press," the mueller report, of course, will be the focus of the show. chuck sits down with democratic congressman gerald nadeler of new york and has an exclusive interview with republican senator marco rubio of florida who is a member of the senate intelligence committee. tune in to "meet the press" "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. after the newscast. larry, thanks to you. larry will be back in 40 minutes for our weekly political segment, looking into the origins of the muellers report. >> some people have forgotten

what it's all about. >> right, where it all began, the length of the investigation, how it compares to special counsel probes of the past, larry has it all. as always, we look forward to seeing you then. >> thank you. all right, to other news now. there was some anxious moments on the peninsula yesterday. this helicopter the pilot of the helicopter on the way to the san carlos airport had to make an emergency landing in a kmart parking lot. the pilot was dealing with a mechanical issue but made a safe landing. mechanics from the airport came out, made the fix and the pilot was able to land it safely at the san carlos airport. now to becoming a millionaire. a lot of people hoping to strike it rich last night $63 million up for grabs, i think it was more than that, $630 million up for grabs, the fourth largest jackpot in power ball history. the cash value more than $380 million. the numbers that won, 66, 52,

60, 24 and 25. the power ball number was 5. no winning tickets. the jackpot climbs to $750 million. now to our powerball drive here, vianey arana collected money from us and got tickets. you said maybe we won $10. >> we need to look at the numbers but it's funny, because we managed to convince our producer, rick, to put in $2 because you don't want to be the only one and he said don't say anything to me unless we won. i walked right past him this morning. >> you still haven't said anything. >> rick, i'll check to see if we won our $2 back. in terms of the weather, it will be a fantastic day to enjoy. at least you won dry weather for today. that worked out. peninsula 38 degrees. south bay 41, tri-valley 38 degrees. so it's very cold out there in some spots, including the north bay 39 degrees.

san francisco 49, and in through the east bay 44 degrees. now, if you're wondering about that rain, i know we're tracking additional storms, you don't have to worry too much about that today, because all day we're expecting a dry afternoon. notice an increase in the high clouds but we have that high pressure that started to rain ov over last night. santa rosa at 65, through san francisco 61, concord in the mid-60s, east bay 62 and down through the south bay also comfortable in those upper 60s in san jose. 67 degrees. so what's next for us? today it's going to be dry. we don't have to worry about the rain but overnight, you can already see it on doppler radar, which is why i'm showing it to you, a cold front expected to sweep in late tonight into early monday morning, so what does that mean for the timing of your commute? let's get right to that hour by hour outlook. the high clouds will increase and here comes the rain, around 2:00 a.m. looks like the storm is mainly

centered over the north bay. santa rosa, ukiah, sweeping in around 8:00 a.m. anything south of the golden gate bridge not expecting pounding, heavy rain, maybe just a drizzle or two, but if you look north of the golden gate bridge, it looks like this is going to stall out pretty good all throughout that morning commute. if you look at areas like hayward and san jose, the santa cruz mountains you might get light drizzle. as the system stalls out, then finally around 12:30, 1:00, the lunch hour, it pushes further southward, when the rest of the bay area is expected to get some rain, and then it kind of just lingers around with a couple scattered showers into tuesday. we catch a little bit of a break but tuesday night into wednesday, this storm system is expected to bring widespread rain and talking about plenty of snow for the sierra. look at that. how much snow? good thing you asked. first of all, this beautiful

shot of tahoe northstar. today is a great day to head up to lake tahoe. if you plan on heading back earlier this week, for example tomorrow or tuesday, maybe not so much, because as that second round of storms moves in, we're expecting look at these numbers go up. that's 36 inches in donner, kingvale 43, twin bridges 25 inches, mainly for elevations above 6,000 feet. this is going to bring very dangerous driving conditions so definitely take your chains up there if you're leaving today. in san francisco today we top out in 60s and the rain moves in late tonight into monday, mainly stalling out over the north bay. south bay not getting too much right now. scattered showers by the afternoon, and then into tuesday, we'll still see a chance of some scattered showers move in. late tuesday night into wednesday, another storm moves in, and that one will bring better chance for widespread rain with higher totals expected over the coastal mountains.

a couple of showers expected to carry over into thursday. it puts our fourday totals a half inch to merely 2 1/2 inches for the coastal mountains. a dry today today. enjoy it. >> get out there, vianey. i'll see you out there. still ahead, breaking barriers at augusta national. colin resch introduces us to a stanford star part of the first women's tournament at the home of the masters.

welcome back. america's most famous golf course augusta national will host a women's tournament, this six years after accepting its first female member, condoleezza rice. it happens a few weeks from now, and a stanford player is in the field. here is colin resch bringing us this report. >> reporter: a who's who of stanford golf gathered at the stanford golf course monday for a sneak peek, long considered

one of the premier collegiate golf sites in the country, it's undergone a bunker facelift over the past year and a half and the timing couldn't be better for andrea lee. >> i think it makes this hole a lot harder, because before this bunker used to be over there probably about 40 yards back, so it was easily reachable for all of us. i actually like it, because it makes the course tougher. >> reporter: for lee, the tougher the better these days, as she attempts to get her game ready for the best course she'll ever play. >> when i'm out practicing, i try to envision the shots that i might have at augusta. >> is it setting you up for a corner playing stanford? >> i think eamon corner is a little hard but i guess it's a good way to think about it, too. it's different from stanford golf course. not that stanford course's 11 through 13 is not special, but eamon corner is definitely going to be a very cool experience playing competitively there. >> reporter: that's right, come

early april, lee's name will make its way into the history books. the second-ranked amateur in the world, she's one in a select field that will play in the first women's tournament ever at the home of the masters, the inaugural augusta national women's amateur. >> it's something that can't fully be put into words, i don't think. you know, women being able to play or have the chance to play competitive round at augusta national. it's definitely going to be monumental for women's golf. i mean, it's really going to be a special experience for all 78, 80 players who get to play in that event. >> reporter: once the field is cut down to 30, the final round will be televised life saturday april 6th on nbc. >> as far as the tv coverage goes, it's going to be really exciting for all of us, a chance to be under the spotlight, i guess, if i have that chance, it would be really cool. >> reporter: make the cut or miss the cut, win or finish 30th, the fact that it's finally happening at all, that's what's really cool.

at stanford, colin resch, nbc bay area. >> really cool indeed. at 7:25, coming up a security scare at sfo. tsa says they're not to blame. how did a man with a carry-on of ammunition get past tsa? plus backlash against barbra. what the legendary singer streisand is saying apologizing for comments she made about alleged victims of michael jackson. take a live look outsid

the rain. >> the springiest thing about today's weather is our dresses. as far as the weather t will be dry but we are going to see filtered sunshine. that means a combination of sun and high clouds will start to take over. wind speeds are pretty calm right now and here is a look at san francisco's current temperature, 49 degrees. also seeing those calm wind speeds and i want to show you how beautiful this shot of squaw creek lake tahoe is, one of the magical shots you wish you were up there. you just don't want to get stuck up there. we have another storm system moving in late tonight into monday, bringing more snow to the sierra mountains. as you plan out our sunday, we're going to stay dry all day until late tonight and by late, 11:00 midnight hours. it will stall over the north bay and begin to make its way further south. i'll break down a timeline in 15

minutes. your daytime highs are comfortable in the mid and upper 60s in some areas including the south bay. >> i like that. i'll get my 2-year-old outside as much as possible. >> before the next several days of rain. >> thanks for the warning. in a few hours from now, bernie sanders will be back in the bay. the vermont senator is making the rounds across the state, trying to convince voters he's the one to take the job from president trump. he'll hold a rally at san francisco's ft. mason later today, campaign volunteers worked feverishly to set up the rally site yesterday. a big crowd is expected at today's event, it begins at 12:30 this afternoon at great meadow park. yesterday, 12,000 supporters turned out for sanders' rally in los angeles. the senator is second in democratic presidential fund-raising. in the first few weeks of his campaign sanders raised nearly $6 million from donors.

only former texas congressman beto o'rourke has raised more at a little over $6 million. at sanders rally yesterday, the mueller report was the hot topic. >> that it is absolutely imperative that the trump administration make that full report public. >> by the way, that bandage on senator sanders' forehead is the result of a minor campaign accident, we're told, it happened last week in south carolina, where he ran into a glass shower door. as you might imagine, there is a lot of interest in what bernie sanders will say in his new run for the presidency. if you want to go to his event in san francisco today but can't make it, we have you covered. we will put sanders' comments on our twitter feed. be sure to follow us @nbcbayarea. we are tracking developing news out of san francisco, where several people were shot overnight, one of them killed. it happened just before 9:00

last night in the fillmore neighborhood. when officers responded, they found four people shot, one dead, three wounded. the three wounded were taken to the hospital. one of them had life-threatening injuries. investigators are working to piece together what led to that shooting and asking for any witnesses to come forward. one woman is dead and a man injured in a late night fire on the peninsula. it happened just after 10:00 last night at a home on jackson avenue, in redwood city. firefighters were able to quickly knock down the flames and kept the fire confined to the kitchen. there is smoke damage throughout the home. crews discovered the woman's body upstairs. the man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. the cause of the fire is under investigation. now to a relaxing cruise to norwegian ports that turned chaotic and a dangerous mission still is under way from yesterday to airlift 1,300 passengers to safety. one bay area woman is among

those passengers, and she is sharing her harrowing story with us. "today in the bay's" marianne favro spoke with her. >> reporter: this is video alexis shepherd took of what it's like inside that cruise ship. the seas are so rough, you see a piano bench and planters sliding across the lounge. >> time to abdicate the area. >> reporter: while big chunks of the ceiling fall on passengers. shepherd posted these photos on twitter showing people wedged into halls and theaters, their life vests on, all waiting to be rescued by helicopters. the bates were one of the first to make it to land. >> very frightening. went up on a helicopter with the sling, the two of us together and it was quite scary. >> reporter: a mayday call went out after the "viking sky" experienced engine problems in rough seas and began to drift toward land. the strong winds and waves over 25 feet are tossing the ship from side to side. passenger dr. ann marie decker

alleged victims but took heat for the men of "thrilled to be there" during the alleged abuse which she said "didn't kill they will." streisand said she should have chosen her words more carefully and feels nothing but sympathy for the men sharing their truth. this popular gymnast no longer is going to perform to his music. you might remember this ucla gymnast, kaitlin oyasha, she got millions of views online. the routine features some of michael jackson's music. she now says after she saw the hbo documentary, she has decided to stop performing to jackson's songs. so she's back with an all new routine that debuted at the pack 12 conference championships yesterday, now playing beyonce, janet jackson and tina turner. it has been one month since robert kraft was charged in a prostitution sting at a massage parlor in florida and the new

at last night's warriors game at oracle arenarena? laura britt has head coach steve kerr's reaction, next. sarah's last tuition payment, sent off. feeling good? oh yeah. now i'm ready to focus on my project. ♪ ♪ this is why we plan. ♪ ♪

you never cease to amaze me, maya. see how investing with a j.p. morgan advisor can help you. visit your local chase branch.

laura britt at the xfinity sports desk. it was well documented on instagram steph curry had a fun night celebrating his wife's birthday. he did not play against the mavs and it seemed the rest of the warriors took the night off as well. the mavs, however, they did not take the night off. dirk nowitski playing in his final game at oracle arena. first quarter dirk got the mavs on the board first, they were in control, from there on out. later in the quarter mavs up by ten, it's dirk again, hits the fadeaway jumper. he finished with a season high 21 points as dallas demolished

golden sta en state. >> defensively we were not connected, weren't talking and got off to that slow start and dallas is always a hard team to guard. they execute well and i think they made 12 threes in the first half, 21 for the game. a lot of miscommunication, but we just couldn't pull together after that slow start, and we never could get any traction in the game. so we just got to flush this one down the toilet and move on to tomorrow. >> next up for the warriors, they have a chance to redeem themselves at oracle against the pistons and you can catch that game on nbc sports bay area at 5:30. that will do it for sports. we'll be back after the break. t

that question was partially answered on friday, when welcome back. when will the public get to see the mueller report? that question partially was answered on friday when special

counsel robert mueller turned over his finished report to attorney general william barr. it's up to barr to decide how much he will reveal to congress and ultimately the american people. the report is potentially a defining moment of the trump presidency, but why? nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston rejoins us now his perspective on the investigation and the conclusions. it's been nearly two years. >> yep. >> if you can, take us back to the beginning of the probe. >> i think it's important to do at this point, really. so let's do that. during the 2016, i know it seems like a long time ago. >> yes. >> presidential campaign, all 17 american intelligence agencies determined that russian operatives attempted to interfere with the election to help donald trump win. now, subsequent research found that the trump campaign individuals had more than 100 conversations with these russian operatives. now, conversations should not be equated with influence. no, no, no, but after president

trump fired fbi director and republican james comey under questionable circumstances, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, a conservative republican himself, appointed former fbi director robert mueller, also a conservative republican, to special counsel to examine russian involvement with the trump campaign, along with any issues related to the campaign. that's how it all began. >> okay, i couldn't help but notice, why do you keep referring to all those key people in the investigation as "conservative republicans"? >> fair question. and the answer is, because the president has repeatedly framed the mueller investigation as a democratic hoax, but the facts showed that this investigation was run by conservative republicans, and we have to be mindful of that. >> that's true. he was calling it a witch hunt this whole time. so if it was run by conservative republicans, given his own party, why was the investigation so long? >> another myth we have to

dispel. actually, it wasn't. there have been 16 special counsel probes since watergate lasting an average of three years. >> interesting. >> the mueller efforts spanned 22 months but the changing nature of american politics, a 24-news cycle we're all victimized by created a political environment where people are constantly searching for news and that's why it seemed to drag on forever. >> yes, it really does, even the last two days seemed to have dragged on forever. some observers have labeled the mueller inquiry as the most important special counsel effort in history, even though it's clearly not the longest, as you just pointed out. why do you think that is? >> kira, because so much is at stake here. most previous special counsels focused on misuse of government funds, or some sort of botched activities abroad. but the most famous of them, of course, watergate, cost rich order nixon his presidency after investigators learned the president used the fbi and cia

to cover up illegal activities by the president's close advisers. mueller assignment covered new ground, in that namely whether the trump campaign worked with russians and whether the president or his aides obstructed justice by covering up any illegal activity. so hopefully mueller addressed these issues. if the president and associates are innocent, by golly, they should be exonerated, but if the trump administration or members of his campaign have worked with russian operatives to secure election victory or maybe if the president obstructed justice, such activity would not only be considered illegal but in some eyes, perhaps even treasonous. for these reasons, it's important to the president and really to the nation that these questions are answered in the mueller report. >> okay, so looking forward, we know that special counsel robert mueller had to turn in, was required to turn in a version of his report to the attorney

general, william ba barr. >> yes. >> who can then determine what parts are released to the public. is it possible we won't ever know the entire story? >> yes, it is possible, but look, for some good reasons in some cases. if the report, for example, includes people never charged with a crime, or the means of gathering information, then the attorney general will delete those elements to protect the innocent and the fbi's methods, or the president also may have he wilegitimate reasons for cla executive privilege about private conversations, although executive privilege may not be used to hide a crime. finally, we must bear this in mind, several other federal and state jurisdictions have their ongoing investigations of issues related to the president. these probes are not part of the mueller report. it's entirely possible that indictments and prosecutions will emerge from these investigations over time. so we better be sure to realize that this is only part of the way through this entire investigation. but look, that's the next

chapter, right? that's the next chapter, which won't happen until after we understand the contents of this chapter. so as we say, so often, kira, stay tuned. >> yes. >> stye tuay tuned. >> i love seeing you, but boy, it's getting old. thanks, larry, as always. we'll see you next sunday. still ahead on "today in the bay," what put a big smile on this oakland chp officer's face. we'll tell you why he wasn't planning on going to the airport, but he ended up there anyway. whose day he saved, after this. good sunday morning. a live look in san francisco right now. a combination of sun and clouds, but at least we'll be dry, but i am tracking more rain into tonight into the start of the work week. i'll break down that time line for you coming up. stay with us. to simone, i leave the van gogh.

to harrison, the wine collection. to craig, this rock. the redwoods to the redheads. the rainbows to the proud. i leave these things to my heirs, all 39 million of you, on one condition. that you do everything in your power to preserve and protect them. with love, california.

good sunday morning. it is 7:54, and if you notice, there's no rain just yet but the temperatures are a little cold. 30s and 40s right now in san jose. 41 degrees. at least the wind speeds are calm which is always nice. the windchill plays a factor but we will notice an increase in the wind speeds into tonight, as another cold front approaches. but right now in san francisco, 49 degrees and the skies are looking a little cloudy. we've got filtered sunshine the examined for today. once again the high pressure kind of cleared us out last night in terms of temperatures and as we head into the afternoon, the high clouds lin crease and our daytime highs are expected to climb into the 60s for today, santa rosa 65, half

moon bay 60 degrees, in through the tri-valley, mid to upper 60s down through the south bay, 67 degrees, and morgan hill about 65 degrees. it's going to be a pretty pleasant day. we don't have to worry about carrying an umbrella but if you're out late tonight, you may want to keep one in the car in case because here it is, the next round of rain is expected to make its move in overnight, here it is off the coast on doppler radar approaching the bay area and it's going to be a cold front that sweeps in overnight mainly stalling over the north bay. so let's look at your hour-by-hour outlook so you can plan out your sunday late night hour into early monday morning. again, it's going to be very late so you don't have to worry about it for the most part if you don't live north of the golden gate bridge, you'll be fine early morning, and then let's fast forward that time line. by right about 8:30, look at that cold front, really just kind of stalls out over the north bay, with heavy pockets of rain for santa rosa, napa, and areas north of the golden gate bridge. if i look at this time line advancing it forward in through

about 12:00/1:00, that's when we see the line of showers push down through the south bay, when san jose, the south bay, the santa cruz mountains is expected to get a good amount of rain from this initial storm but it tapers off and we get scattered showers into tuesday morning and late tuesday night, look at this, into wednesday, we are tracking a pretty big storm expected to be a good rainmaker, but not only that, look at the sierra, talk about several inches of snow, right now the models are showing 20-plus inches in some areas, which could of course trigger some winter storm warnings up to the sierra. so check the road conditions, stay up to date with our nbc bay area app. we'll keep you updated as the second storm approaches. over the next seven days, here is a look at what you can expect. again, keep that umbrella handy just in case. it is going to get a little windy with the cold front passing through. so definitely take your rain boots, maybe just a good coat. i know i've been guilty of taking the umbrella out and the umbrella does the thing, where it flips upside down on you and

you look wild like mary poppins. she did it with style. i don't have much style. you may want to carry a coat around. as far as high rain totals shall the north b , the north bay and coastal mountain also see the rain and friday and saturday things clear out. it's spring and it will bring big blooms. >> spring showers big summer flowers i guess. we'll have to change it now. vianey, thanks. picture this, missing your flight because of car trouble and now add in the fact that it's your honeymoon flight to hawaii. that happened to one local couple who broke down on 3580 in oakland yesterday morning and this man, chp officer rosales, came upon them, called a tow truck for the newlyweds and drove the couple to oakland international himself. as you could see by this big smile on his face, it made him feel pretty good, and i'm sure they were thrilled and my bet is they are toasting to him with some mai tais right now.

that sounds great. wonderful, wonderful news. thanks so much for making us a part of your morning. we'll have more local news tonight at 4:30, 6:00 and 11:00 and this poor girl will be back with you tonight. ♪ ♪ with the chase mobile app, jason wu could pay practically anyone, at any bank, all while putting on a runway show for new york fashion week. ♪ ♪ he could. or, he could make it even easier - and set up recurring payments to his neighbor.

this sunday, the mueller report. after 675 days, it's now in attorney general bill barr's hands. >> the justice department is alerting congress that the investigation is over. so what happens now? >> democrats are demanding transparency. >> absolutely imperative that the trump administration make that report public. >> that report needs to be made public. >> yes! >> as the president spends his week appearing agitated over the coming report. >> there was no collusion. there was no obstruction. everybody knows it. it's all a big hoax. it's like all a witch hunt. >>t'
