growing battle between the two. a new week with new deadlines. house democrats demanding attorney general william prar respond to their request for a more complete version of the mueller report by this morning. >> we just want the information so we can do our work, so we can do the oversight that our committee is required to do. >> reporter: barr has made a less redacted verbal vacation to 12 top lawmakers, but democrats want all members to see it. if not, threatening to hold barr in contempt. >> my question to the chairman is why doesn't he read what's already available. if he wants more, then work with the department of justice to if eurg this out. >> reporter: and working to bring robert mueller before the house judiciary committee, president trump said mueller should not testify, tweeting no re-do for the dems. but just last week he said -- >> i don't know. that's up to your attorney general. >> reporter: democrats accusing the president of trying to silence mueller. and as the president's former attorney, michael cohen, is set to report to prison today in

part for lying to congress, president trump is still considering whether to let don mcgahn testify before lawmakers. house democrats have subpoenaed mcgahn demanding documents by tomorrow. but president trump could invoke executive privilege and block mcgahn's testimony. and there is one other major deadline we're watching and that has to do with the president's tax returns. today we could learn how the administration plans to respond to the subpoenas demanding to see the president's taxes. steve mnuchin missed the first deadline but says he will comply today. the u.s. is sending a carrier strike team and bomber task force to the middle east. the trump administration says this is in response to a, quote, number of troubling and effect la tore indications from iran. john bolton didn't give any

>> all right. it sounds like we lost his microphone there. but we expected several defendants to actually testify in the ghost ship warehouse trial. it is interesting because the defense is claiming that the fire itself was set by several different people. they are claiming it was arson. we'll see what the rest of the trial entails as we continue to follow that. 6:06 right now. a developing story still in contra costa county. a massive melee at a popular mall parking lot with an officer pepper sprayed. >> reporter: yeah. good morning to you, laura and marcus. we know so far there were 70 people taking part in this melee in the parking lot of the sun valley mall some pleasant hill. i want to show you behind me. that's the safeway parking lot. we're learning that the fight spilled into that parking lot as well. that's right along here on contra costa in pleasant hill.

the central valley. we saw cloud cover and rain. that was all because of the system just to our south. still unsettled this morning. light rain lingers over parts of the north bay. as you get ready to head out the door, rain moving through, sonoma and napa counties to start out. still mostly cloudy. that's a look at your drive on 101. the sun peeking out by early afternoon. we'll get a look at the rest of your forecast. you're busy tracking three crashes? >> three specific crashes. there are others out there. south 8830, 23rd, that did clear. slow around 980. be careful heading away from the bay bridge south on the nimitz. eastbound 580, that has remained clear. the rest of the bay shows an

all in. mr. trump is hoping his last-minute threat to raise tariffs this friday will make it easier to deal when they arrive in washington on thursday. you have three outcomes on this. america gets better terms, the bet pays off. talks don't move forward, and the tariffs go into place. or the president backs off, doesn't do what he tweeted he would do, which is probably the worst thing that could happen. there are a particular number of electronic sort of things, devices, supplies that we need here in silicon valley. currently 10% will go to 25%. you will see tech stocks in particular hit hard today. broadly it will be pretty bad. >> okay. one to continue to watch. >> yeah. >> 6:15 right now.

out and businesses were open. here's what one woman had to say. >> you don't want a family member hurt or a police officer hurt. you know, they're in here trying to clean up whatever is around. >> and we did some checking. this is the second police shooting in san jose this year so far. in this case, police have still not released the name of that suspect. but we do know at last check the police sergeant had a broken collarbone. the good news here, he is expected to make a full recovery. again, waoerb expecting updates at 12:30. and we'll be there. reporting live in san jose, ali wolf for "today in the bay". >> we will follow up tonight as well. thank you, ali. developing now in the middle east, a cease-fire holding after a series of weekend air strikes destroyed homes in gaza city. some residents returned to find their homes reduced to rubble. 70 homes are destroyed. israeli forces responding to

hundreds of rockets being fired. intense fighting finally came to a halt in the early morning hours. both sides announced a truce agreement a few hours ago. cameras capture the moments flamed erupt. this is a deadly crash as a plane landed in moscow at an airport there. 41 of the 78 passengers died. sit believed at least one american was on board. the plane had just taken off yesterday when pilots reported a malfunction and turned the plane around to land. it is possible that a hard landing ignited the flames. here's an up-close look at the wreckage. aviation investigators released this video showing a burned-out shell of the plane. it serves a handful of cities in america. the plane is russian made. not commonly flown here in the u.s. in the meantime, there is growing concern about boeing's management of the 737 max design. the company is releasing a statement detailing how it knew

for months that a safety alert in the cockpit was not working as intended. yet it did not disclose the fact to airlines or federal regulators until one of the planes crashed. the feature was designed to warn pilots when a key sensor might provide information about the plane's nose. the warning light only worked when they purchased a separate add-on feature. 6:35. next generation commuter service makes its debut on the peninsula. samtrans will offer an on-demand rideshare service. it rolls out for a small area of pacifica around linda marr park. the bus line previously served the same route. maximum controversy. that's about the only way to describe this year's version of the fastest two minutes in

sports, the kentucky derby. did you see what happened in saturday's big race? it never happened before in kentucky derby history. race stewards disqualified the winner, maximum security, agreeing it drifted into the lane of other horses. they named second place country house the winner. the owner tells nbc's "today" show he plans to file an appeal with the state of kentucky today. but, yes, i saw the horse move out. every kentucky derby you could sit down, two, three, four horses if you wanted to. it's like a rodeo out there. >> betters lost an estimated $10 million because maximum security had been the odds-on favorite. country house was a 65-1 long shot. experts believe his race was not impacted by maximum security's foul. so if you bet on that one, whew, probably did okay.

>> helped by technology. the question now, same thing is horse racing, basketball, baseball. is technology helping or hurting the game? >> had to watch. it took them 15 minutes to review the video. >> longer than two minutes, as advertised. things should be pretty good as advertised. south bay, 87 looks good. slow up to curtner. tri-valley looks good. so does the approach towards the bay bridge. no major problems. slowing through oakland. typical this time of day. the crashes did clear. out to our partners at waze. they are showing slowing, as we are, around the san mateo bridge. i got this note from tabithascool. i'll check it out. for now we say thank you, tabitha. join the wazers as your team, please. temperatures for the

weekend? >> it is all because of the rain that moved yesterday evening. it will start to warm up. this upcoming weekend it will look nice. i know you're making plans. it's going to be mother's day. expect sunshine inland. highs reaching the upper 70s for san francisco. staying in the 60s. more sun as we go into saturday as well as sunday. so looks really nice. let's start making some plans. maybe go hiking as we look at the forecast for muir woods. partly cloudy skies over the next several days. from friday into sunday. reaching the mid-60s. if you're planning to go to the sierra, that's a live look. that may have you packing the car. it's going to be great. but there will be showers moving through. mid to upper 60s for both saturday and sunday. friday is your day to get out for hiking or skiing. we'll talk about what's going on today in our forecast. that's coming up in about three minutes. all right. looking forward to that, kari.

it's no ordinary day at denny's it's crepe day. a family tradition we started about twenty-two minutes ago. and from the looks of it, this tradition is going to last awhile. denny's has new crepes! see you at denny's.

we're coming up on 6:42. a cloudy start. a look over san jose. as we check out our temperature trend, it will be cool to start. low 50s. every now and then the sun will peek out. as we head closer to noon. more sunshine today. we'll talk about a storm system moving away and what's ahead for the rest of the week in less than five minutes. we see a few of those clouds up in the sky. the roadways okay. watching for any issues. still slowing in san jose. 6:42. it is expected to be a somber day in court as testimony begins in the trial of the two men accused in the ghost ship warehouse fire. you may remember 36 people lost their lives in that fireback in 2016. in a few hours, prosecutors will

begin presenting its case. it is expected that the district attorney will fall five witnesses to testify, including people who escaped the fire and former tenants who lived in the warehouse. they will give jurors insight into what it was like to be cramped in the space with only just hours to escape. the building was there. derrick almena signed the release. both face 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter. new overnight, biodiversity paints a gloomy picture of the earth's future if nothing is done to reverse climate change. they released a report. scientists find extinction is looming for one million plant and animal species. the rate of loss is accelerating thousands of times faster than it has in the past. unless they can restore half a million species they are likely

to go into extinction in just a matter of decades. in southern california, a home explosion and fire rocks a neighborhood. >> oh, my god! >> police say there was a marijuana operation in that home in san diego. neighbors took out cell phone have&started recording this video. you can see blasts from inside the home. firefighters were able to stop the flames before they spread to other homes. one home did have exterior damage. so far no arrests have been made. 6:44. the break drivers are waiting to hear in the case of a rock thrower terrorizing a stretch of a highway. someone keeps throwing rocks at drivers on 152 west of gilroy. people were injured.

a lot of cars have been damaged. police arrested 28-year-old jeremy valdez. deputies managed to track the suspect down in a nearby feel. it came as relief for one fremont man who said someone threw rocks at his car and he has been terrified to drive-through the 152 corridor ever since. >> i don't want to go back. as long as that guy is not caught, i will not go back. >> the suspect is tied to yesterday's incidents but they have not yet determined if this is the same man tied to attacks that have been going on for months. gas prices may soon stabilize. that's what experts are saying. we have been reporting prices have been on the rise since january. even jumped five cents in the past two weeks. crude oil prices are starting to drop. that could mean welcomed news at the pump. the highest price in the nation

in san francisco $4.14 a gallon for regular. robert mueller should not talk to congress, said president trump. >> but does the president that the power to stop him? >> he can certainly stop bob mcgahn by claiming executive privilege. bob mueller, private citizen, can talk to anyone he wants to, including congress. the president does not want that. bob mueller should not testify. no re-do for the dems. there is a mixed message because the president said over and over that the mueller report clears him. his attorney general says the mueller report clears him. why wouldn't he want mueller to speak to congress? because the mueller report does not entire clear the president. it says if we were confident the president did not obstruct, we would say so. but based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we're unable to reach that

judgment. the report in fact, implies the president could be charged with a crime once he is no longer president. that, too, is a hot topic this morning. the president retweeted a tweet saying he should get an extra two years tacked onto the first term because of mueller investigation. now, you can dismiss this as constitutional nonsense. but the sitting president of the united states retweeted it. and then referred to two years in a tweet of his own. in which he said they have stolen two years. this comes hours after speaker of the house nancy pelosi said she was concerned the president wouldn't leave if he were defeat indeed 2020 unless that defeat were by a very wide margin. the peaceful transition of power is a hallmark of the american democracy and both the speaker and the president called into question this morning. live pictures from the camera outside michael cohen's home in new york city. the former lawyer due to show up

for his prison term today. cohen was sentenced to three years for tax evasion, lying to congress and campaign finance crimes. the u.s. attorney named president trump in that investigation as well. take you out live to the big board as well. all the gains we had on friday are gone after the president threatened to increase tariffs on china. we're watching everything that's happening. there's taxes due in front of the house as well today. we will be tweeting about that. follow me on twitter@scottmcgrew approximate. >> all right. thank you very much, scott. new today, a story you can spin one of two ways. either a classic on screen blunder or incredible product placement. if you look at last night's "game of thrones", it is kind of hard to miss. the starbucks cup sitting clearly on the table. keen observers are making sure everyone sees it today. sometimes it probably does feel like there is a starbucks on every corner. we're sure it has not yet made

it to the seven kingdoms. major breaking news from england. royal baby boy is born. prince harry just telling us. harry, meghan and little marcus. there you go. that's the breaking news for you. >> that part has not been confirmed. maybe in your mind. >> we're hoping. i'm just saying. >> he will put the tweet out there. it's up to them. >> prince marcus. >> why not. >> let's talk to queen kari. >> your highness. >> the rain we had yesterday, it was great to see rain across the bay area. you that is starting to move out. let me show you what happens. i'm backing up the radar 18 hours and showing all the activity that rolled through. so we are about to get to the beginning of the frame where we

saw storms firing up over the sierra. lightning strikes across the central valley, the bay area. it was being drawn by an area of low pressure off to our south and off the coast. now as that continues to move away, we start to see our weather coming down. but there is still light rain lingering over parts of the north bay. but really exciting to see some of the storms. and a little bit of rain that came along with it. so we are still tracking the rain moving across the north bay as you get ready to head out the door. south of santa rosa, north of petaluma. and over the hills into bodega bay. look at all clouds and interesting sunrise left behind. the east behave and walnut creek. it is going to stay mostly cloudy the next several hours. then the sun starts to peek out. temperatures warm up slowly, eventually reaching into the low 70s in our inland areas. low 60s for oakland. 68 today in palo alto, as well as napa.
