and new facebook campus in the east bay. just before you make landfall, there is a crash, a jackknifed big rig reportedly blocking all your lanes before the thornton exit toward fremont. if that is exactly where it is that is a problem because they cannot get off the bridge, these folks from east palo alto. stand by for the updates on twitter, facebook, and on the air. san mateo and 237 are your better eastbound routes. 680, stone valley road, that traffic alert. that one clears. we are watching eastbound 84. >> notre dame fire under control just hours ago. the church leaders say a large part of the artwork and relics have been saved.

it is clear by any standards that the fire heavily damaged the 800-year-old church. witnesses say the surreal scene left them in shock. >> at such a point we saw the roof fall down. soon later the spire started bending and smoke and flames. >> the church was undergoing a $6 million renovation. church leaders believe it may be tied to the work being done. nearly $350 million has already been pledged to help rebuild the cathedral. and our coverage continues throughout the hour here on "today in the bay". 6:15, backlash for big mistake by youtube as the fire broke out in paris. and at 6:30, the reaction and tributes right here in the bay area. and at 6:55, the update from the

scene at notre dame cathedral. then the "today" show starts its coverage at 7:00. 6:02. hope you filed your taxes. yesterday was the deadline. in washington, a new effort by democrats digging into president trump's finances. tracy potts has the latest reaction from the white house. tracie? >> reporter: hi, laura. good morning. good morning, everyone. the white house says that president trump's taxes should not be given to members of congress. so they're not waiting on that. democrats are reaching out directly to companies that did business with mr. trump. democrats have given the irs a new deadline, one week from today, to turn over six years of president trump's tax returns. the president's legal team says that's illegal. >> this administration has no attention to weaponize the irs. >> frankly, the people don't care. >> i'm absolutely interested in seeing president trump's tax returns. >> reporter: while the treasury department decides whether to

comply, subpoenas are going out to mr. trump's accounting firm for seven years of financial statements. and according to the "new york times", to deutsche bank, which loaned mr. trump $2 billion. >> the american people have a right to know where he is getting his money, to whom he owes monday. >> reporter: thursday morning's release of the mueller report could also offer new insight on the president's business. >> it could very well be there is significant wrongdoing. >> i don't care about the mueller report. i've been totally exonerated. >> reporter: the report found in collusion with russia but was in conclusive on obstruction of justice. and the report is almost 400 painless, too. laura, the attorney general is promising it will be color coded with notes so the public, people looking at it can see what was redacted, what information was taken out, what type of information, and of course why >> that's good. it will be easy to read that way. tracie potts, thanks so much. >> 6:04 for you right now.

making sure you're safe on your next ride. we are talking about rideshare cars. new security measures to protect riders. bob redell is live in walnut creek. and, bob, what is the new proposal from lyft? >> reporter: marcus, in an effort to make sure your lyft driver is trustworthy, whether picking up here at the airport or wherever, they will run continuous background checks. this is in addition to the annual rechecks. annual background checks have been going on for quite some time, a church of criminal records and sex offender registry. now with continuous background checks, lyft will be monitoring daily for any drivers with criminal convictions and any driver who does not pass an annual and continuous screening will be barred from the company. lyft is also enhancing its identity verification. the company will require drivers to carry both a valid driver's

license and an up to date photo of their face. this to prevent potential identity fraud. uber began checks last year. that's lyft's main competitor. lyft is considered to be a safe means of travel. there have been a handful of cases in which drivers have been accused of sexual and violent crimes. now, you'll recall lyft has been in the news as of late. it is based out of san francisco. it ipo'd last month, went on the stock market there. the stock has since slid more than 20% since its ipo the last couple of weeks. uber is also sf-based. it could be hitting the stock market soon as well. bob redell, "today in the bay". thanks, bob. 6:06 right now. and new details on san francisco's planned waterfront homeless navigation center. we're guessing opponents may not be too happy with the update. angry neighbors confronted mayor london breed when she tried to

explain the plans two weeks ago. the center will sit on an empty lot on the embarcadero. last night the mayor's office issued an update. the plan still calls for 200 beds. it will ramp up from the 130 beds initially. the original plan called for the site to operate four years, the city now seeks to have a two-year lease with the option of renewal if it is successful. as promised, more police officers will patrol the area. the port commission is scheduled to vote on the deal one week from today. 6:07 right now. and jury selection begins today in the ghost ship warehouse fire. the next three days, attorneys will pick 12 jurors and six alternates. last week hundreds answered questionnaires. derrick almena and max harris each face 36 koupbs of involuntary manslaughter for the deadly 2016 fire. late last week the judge ruled oakland mayor libby schaaf will

not have to take the stand in the case. a permanent gun on gun shows at the cow palace. the plan was previously approved. because the daly city property is officially owned by the state, the vote will be reconsidered or is actually considered now null and void. voters today involved in the cow palace board of directors would have to approve transferring power to a locally controlled joint authority. that may then put the gun and ammunition sales ban into effect. there is a state measure now working its way through legislature. >> new video shows a new jersey utility worker narrowly escaping as falling wires erupt into a fireball setting the ground ablaze. a severe storm caused the wires to fall. the worker said he was okay and didn't need medical treatment. another storm system sent a roof blowing off a pennsylvania business. surveillance video capturing that whole thing there. just as the winds started to rip out a tree, the roof comes off

that warehouse. no one was hurt in that incident. >> kari, is this the same storm creating a lot of havoc throughout the country as it moves east? >> yeah. it moved through the south, parts of the midwest. now it has moved over the atlantic. another disturbance will bring another round of rain for pennsylvania and new jersey as well. as we move back home, we will see some of the light showers we had yesterday evening. we are getting a chance to dry out now after that dropped a quarter to half inch of rain. now as it moves over the sierra, we are looking at another five to seven inches of snow on the ground in the high sierra. i will be watching that. now you have a traffic alert. >> yeah. it's a big deal. this is a big deal effectively shutting down one direction of a bridge. fortunately it is countercommute. menlo park, facebook side heading over toward fremont and

newark. again, counter commute. avoid eastbound 84. right now you are being diverted off the approach. there is university. folks are forced down off university. also likely taking willow back to 101. in the city streets. east palo alto, menlo park. this whole side of the peninsula which is normally smooth flowing, it will be a problem right now. it will get congested at 101, 92, san mateo or south to 237 trying to get east over to fremont from the peninsula. 84 is closed because of a jackknifed big rig around the radio towers. southbound 680 slow toward alamo off the walnut creek enter change from an earlier traffic alert which has cleared there. palo alto shows the volume of traffic. it could get con skwrefted. back to y congested what kim kardashian is

was the 9/11 attack on the twin towers. youtube started to add factual plushes in fine print at the bottom of your screen. the computers incorrectly made an association between the fire and the september 11th attacks automatically added that information about 9/11. nbc news obtained hundreds of documents stemming from a 2015 california court case. reporters say further showed facebook ignored users' privacy. the "today" show will delve into this. they say it was cherry picked. congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez will no longer use her social media account and calls it a public health risk. though her campaign still advertises on facebook. she's known for lighting up social media to the delight of both her supporters and her critics. that said, she's not posted anything to instagram recently.
