more to get into this country. that is one thing we're covering. we're also watching iran. the u.s. is sending more military assets amid concerns they will be ramping up on military assets there. could this lead to a military conflict? the trump administration says they're sending the warships and carriers and other assets in case we have to fight back. secretary of state now talking with the europeans in brussels about the nuclear teal and the differences between the u.s. and europe on how they want to deal with that. >> all right. tracie, this is something that is just never ending, it seems like. thank you for that update. . it is 6:04 right now. happening today, critical vote for the future of oakland. of course the skyline here. at the port, the a's want to build a new stadium. this is a rendering of what it would look like.

base. the proposal would allow the a's to lease the land at a much lower rate than other port operators. they meet at 1:30 for the critical vote. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay". >> a lot of a's fans would love to see that happen. they were e talking about it. so we'll see. >> thanks, bob. 6:06 right now. happening today, actress felicity huffman is expected to plead guilty. >> reporter: good morning. the spotlight is back on actress felicity huffman as she prepares for another high-profile day in federal court. she will formally expert a plea later on today. she's among the dozens of prominent parents charged with paying big bucks to get their kids into selective schools.

they could get quite heavy wednesday night and the possibility of some thunderstorms by thursday. as that area of low pressure gets closer and moves right over the bay area. the chance of sierra snow in minutes. i hope they're for the better net result at least. the south bay and peninsula, no problem. the south bay eased up. now we are starting to see the pluck of the commute in san jose. hayward slows a bit for south 880 and west 92. a crash at the toll plaza. there may have been a quick traffic break to move the vehicles from the toll plaza which isn't reporting any excessive backup.

the south bay's tivo says it wants to break into two. investors got out of the stock friday down 14%. today will be uber's first full day of trading after its market debut friday. shares started trading three hours into the trading day and promptly fell. you can buy uber stock for less than bankers and insiders bought it for at its ipo. lets than an hour ago, the chinese retaliated on tariffs put on them on friday. they will increase tariffs on mostly farm goods from 10% to 25%, matching our tariff increase. this is effective june 1st. >> the iphone has avoided the trade war. they are putting tariffs on all chinese goods and the iphone is definitely a chinese good. because it gets confused when a

tariff is placed on a chinese good, we are the ones paying the tariff. when the chinese put a tariff on an american good, say soy beans, they pay their tariff on our product. the company that makes the tariff pays the tariff. now, the president insists what i'm saying isn't true. he off says the chinese pay our tariffs. here's an example of that in a tweet. this is such a constant claim that journalist chris wallace pinned trump's top economic adviser larry kudlow down on fox news sunday, not letting him go into they hammered it. yes, americans pay the tariff on exports. it's the buyer of the more expensive goods who pays the price. so american goods are more expensive for the chinese, say soy beans. chinese products are more expensive for americans. >> right. >> okay. >> thanks, scott.

>> the p in ihop, what do you think it stands for? >> pancakes. >> not pregnancy or parenthood. maybe the company went a little too deep with a mother's day treat. it shows what appears to be a sonogram with a stack of flapjacks inside. it mentions pancakes in the tumtum. it did not spark as much as it did confusion. >> we know pancakes are delivered by storks. >> they change their name to burger, whatever. >> once again they, got it. >> stick to the pancakes. >> please. >> this morning, sunshine. a nice cool start.

system. not only one but two storm systems arriving in the next few days. the first gets here wednesday and starts to bring in scattered showers and get heavier into wednesday night. and then as the center of the low pressure and the storm system gets closer, there could be enough energy to produce thunderstorms on thursday. that moves off to the east friday. then another storm system moves in. two computer models for the amount of rain we could see. both of them agree. showing more than an inch of rain for most of the bay area. for the north bay, over an inch and a half, which is really unheard of this time of year. not only that, but we could see significant sierra snow. some of that may be melting.
