saying they are still willing to negotiate in all of this and it has put forth a proposal for an agreement for benefits and services that are worth some $625 million over five years, but so far, that is still assault and something that may not be sustainable even though the union wants more money than that. as for services, the county has had weeks to put together a contingency plan. we have to see how that works out. no word yet on how long the strike might last. we're told the workers are planning a news conference later this morning. for now we're live in east san jose, roz plater for "today in the bay." >> thank you, roz. >> roz, thank you. this morning for you on capitol hill, a lot of finger pointing as democrats try to question state department officials about the ukraine scandal that sparked the impeachment inquiry of president trump. >> secretary of state mike pompeo confirms he was on the phone call with the president and the ukrainian leader.

exhibit, the video was posted on social media. the zoo now saying that woman illegally scaled a visitor safety barrier. she's facing serious trespassing charges. at one point the video shows the woman raising her arms and dancing around. a man who posted this says he believed that woman was a part of the exhibit, but he stopped recording when the lion started to roar. that's when he grabs his son and left that area. which was probably smart. i don't understand why she would get so close. if it attacked her, then what? >> that's ridiculous, knowing what happened with the tiger exhibit in san francisco. >> yes. >> they're wild animals. that's crazy. >> um-hum. >> i can't believe it. >> the things people do for the gram. >> exactly, yeah. >> don't do that. >> don't. >> and if you're headed to san francisco zoo today, it's going to be free for residents just a heads up. >> oh, all right! >> yeah! >> stay on your side of the barrier. >> stay on your side of the barrier. we have some nice weather as you get ready to head out. here is a live look in san bruno

francisco in the upper 60s today. we're going to see a slight cooldown tomorrow, as the storm system and a cold front moves across the bay area tomorrow then quickly high pressure starts to build and that's going to heat things up from friday into the weekend. we're really going to feel that heat on sunday, as that high pressure sits right on top of us, but there will be some cooling next week, so we're going from winter to fall to summer all in the seven-day forecast, and we don't see any rain here, so we're going to say dry. we're going to see our temperatures in the mid-70s today and tomorrow. then some upper 80s in the value y valleys by sunday. san francisco reaching up to 76 degrees this sunday. mike, tapping the brakes out of hayward. >> because the commute is building, the volume. westbound we see from time to time this sort of ripple effect, see some lights tapping and all the way getting closer to us. i made that sound, that's not traffic. a smooth flow of traffic eastbound is typical on the san

but they are allowed to review them and the person wouldn't know if their comment was posted or n, something that could probably eliminate some of the nasty comments out there. as instagram grows and gets bigger and bigger and it is very big, it gets harder for this company to police things like misinformation and hate speech, and bullying, and mosseri made this bullying issue one of his most important issues. he's been on the job for a year now. we talk about all of it and more coming up on the "today" show. back to you. >> let's hope the efforts cut down on the internet trolls out there. >> absolutely. >> it's 6:37. with every tesla upgrades there are always bugs to work out. >> a few here and there. >> new video is going viral of a tesla having problems with its smart summon feature. >> the video posted on youtube shows tesla in a crowded walmart parking lot having trouble navigating its way to its owner.

just slightly warmer in the valleys, reaching the upper 80s, and we're going to have that warm weather if you're planning to head out to the art, jazz and wine festival in pleasanton, i think saturday is the better of the two days this weekend, as we see those high temperatures reach up to about 84 degrees, and it will be cooling down going into the evening. if you're planning to head out to lake shasta, it's also going to be warming up. look at these high temperatures, on friday we're seeing a high of 67. 77 on saturday, and then on sunday, we're up to 80 degrees. if you're planning to go hiking in muir woods, expect a high of about 71 on friday. 75 on saturday, and then 81 degrees on sunday. paso robles will be hot there, pretty much all weekend long, reaching up to 90 degrees by the end of the weekend, but it will be comfortable in santa cruz, with some upper 70s in the forecast. let me know what you're doing this weekend. i'm @karihallweather on twitter, facebook as well as instagram.

i'll show you the east bay temperature trend for today coming up in three minutes. >> thanks so much, kari. still ahead for us this hour, more on our top stories, including governor gavin newsom's big decision about troops on the southern border as president trump proposes shooting migrants who cross over. also all new, a possible cop swap at sfo. the benefit one san francisco lawmaker says it would mean for the city. and taking a look at the big board, you see the dow is down 280 points, it drops this morning, continuing rough start to the fourth quarter amid recession fears. 6:41 for you right now. you're watching "today in the bay."
