this thursday. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. we talk about the holidays right around the corner, christmas in the park will be set up this friday. hoping to introduce that. there are some great changes coming our way. they're going to actually put in artificial trees. they're saying the old trees from the shasta mountains would cost upwards of $20,000. they will try to cut down on the fees and go artificial this year. >> nothing wrong with artificial. i grew up with artificial trees in the house every year. you always knew what you were going to get. >> and you're there this friday? >> the friday after. this coming monday i'll be opening downtown ice, kristi yamaguchi and the friday after thanksgiving we'll do christmas in the park. >> we're going to start calling you mr. holiday.

>> hopefully some snowman hot chocolate. >> maybe some this morning, what do you think? >> even this afternoon, low 60s. this is where we're starting with mid-50s. as we check out our temperature trend today we warm up slowly from 54 degrees going to 62 degrees by early this afternoon. we'll have more on this coming up. mike, you spotted that traffic on highway 101. >> i did and i showed the break just before the commercial break and now the break is gone after the commercial break. not tied together in any way. we are looking at speeds back again north. you see the flashlights. overnight construction work going on and that was the blip we saw. these just came in to chp so waiting for them to arrive. so far the speed sensors look great including the approach to

the bay bridge. >> this is the question people have been asking. is it a crime to eat while waiting for a train? a man was cited for eating food on a b.a.r.t. platform and now is suing the transit agency. bob redell's live for us in the east bay. what is his legal argument? >> reporter: marcus, steve foster, the man cited for eating on a b.a.r.t. platform, believes he was racially profiled. later this afternoon the attorney he hired, john burris, will hold a news conference to announce that he is filing a lawsuit against b.a.r.t. foster was stopped for eating a sandwich while eating, was restrained. it is against state law to eat at b.a.r.t. stations and on b.a.r.t. trains. in a video we can see the officer hold on to foster's backpack and repeatedly ask him for identification.

foster refused. he was briefly detained. cited and released. now his attorney, john burris, did release the statement and you can look at it on your tv screen. these b.a.r.t. officers engaged in racial profiling and selective law enforcement in that b.a.r.t. patrons routinely eat sandwiches and other food on the platform and b.a.r.t. trains without any law enforcement intervention, chastisement or other admonishments by police. >> people need to eat. i want to go all the time. all the time. so i have food and if i need something to he's, they have a star right downstairs for people to eat. it's contradiction. it's not the only b.a.r.t. that has a food station right outside the fare gates. >> reporter: foster says it's hypocritical to rent out food kiosks and still expect people not to eat and drink on the

train. b.a.r.t. says foster was combative and refused to provide his name necessary for the citation. that being said b.a.r.t.'s general manager did issue an apology which foster has said he does not accept. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." thanks for the latest there, bop. >> something people will be talking about and think twice before eating on the platform. vice president mike pence spending the morning at nasa ames research center talking about the next mission to the moon. kris sanchez joins us where we expect to probably see some protesters outside of those gates as well, kris. >> reporter: yeah, definitely a lot of folks will be here. the welcome sign, welcome vice president mike pence. he arrived here at moffitt field in mountain view just before

share of the coliseum land which the a's want to redevelop. that suit not only put the deal in limbo but also the plan for a new stadium. the new president released a stadium which says in part the team is committed to the coliseum's long-term success. new overnight a family rushes out of their peninsula home as flames destroy their garage. it happened a little after midnight in san mateo. no one was hurt. still no word on the cause. new this morning a suspected carjacker is in custody after the stolen truck he was in crashed in the south bay. police in san jose arrested jesus daniel aftsanchez. first they say he stole lottery tickets on north 13th street. then they say on rebecca way he carjacked a woman's minivan

good thursday morning. right now at 5:13 let's get a live look outside in walnut creek starting out with some low clouds and we'll see clouds throughout much of the morning. now that a cold front has moved through, we are going to see

those temperatures much cooler today compared to the past few days. now today we're only making it into the 60s but we'll have another warm-up in the week forecast. we'll look at that coming up in about five minutes. and as we look at oakland with the taillights moving at speed, both directions in fact, is the case. that's why the bottom number at your minimum, 13 minutes heading up to the bay bridge from 238. all of the east bay approaches look great. we'll see what we expect coming up. and good morning. very happy thursday to you. markets hit new records. the dow was pretty much all disney. there are only 30 companies on the dow jones and disney is one of them. disney is doing well because its new disney plus is doing well. nvidia in santa clara reports profits this afternoon. it's been a very strong

performer. looks like the impeachment hearings in this video but this is federal chairman jay powell in a different room. he talks to congress again today. powell saying he's comfortable with the going interest rates. doesn't see a reason to lower them further. president trump wants powell to lower rates because it injects more money into the economy and sparks more growth. it also lowers borrowing costs and the government borrows a lot of money. this is a very deficit heavy administration. the latest figures, these are all in trillions for you. the government brought in $3.4 trillion in the fiscal year but it spent $4.4 trillion for a budget deficit of $1 trillion. this is not the national debt. that's in trillions upon trillions. this is how much we fell short in the year's budget. how about a $1,500 phone? motorola is bringing back the

flip phone, the razor. it's more expensive than the iphone. they hope to release it in january. phil schiller said kids who use google's inexpensive chrome books in school won't succeed. apple wants kids to use the far more expensive ipads. he clarified saying every child has the ability to succeed. helping them to do that has always been our mission. they are fighting to put ipads into schools. you can't type on them without then another keyboard and they're more expensive. talking earlier about having kids. chrome books super cheap, if you break them, you replace them -- relatively cheap -- and with the google drive, it's what all the schools use. >> my kids do. they're going to succeed. stop it. stop it.

oh, mcgrew. okay. i wish i could tell this funny story he always tells but we don't have time right now. families receiving benefits may receive a fremontly supply of diapers. the city's human service agency announced it's expanding the program. available for residents with children under 3 years old. the move will make san francisco the first country in the nation to provide free diapers. that's huge. ro a tax measure is one step closer to the ballot. as soon as next week. supervisors may agree to put it on the march ballot. it would tax them for storefront beginning in the year 2021. first the building would have to be vacant for at least half a year. supporters say the tax would provide landlords incentive to lease the empty spaces.

a russian man smuggling his fat cat, big cat on to a plane is being stripped of frequent flier status. >> he let the cat out of the bag, in a manner of speaking. he found out his cat weighed too much to fly in the cabin. he postponed the trip and spent the night with friends who had a much smaller cat. so the next day he checked in but with his friend's cat. and then later did the old switcharoo. he would have gotten away with it but he posted the ruse on social media. that's when the airline got wind of it. leaving him stranded with the cat bird seat. i can't believe he tried to do that. >> i know. >> how surprising. >> why didn't he wait until after the flight to post it on social media? >> why post it at all? >> you know, people like to share. >> not when you're doing something you're not supposed to. come on, folks.

>> i didn't know there was a limit to cat weight on the plane, too. >> have to watch the fuel charges. every bit counts. here on the ground nice, cool temperatures. >> it will be a cooler day. we've been waiting for fall to arrive. it arrived for a couple days. we will see a live look outside in palo alto. there's no fog. as we go into the rest of the day the clouds will gradually roll out of here. we'll see the sun peeking out but it won't be as warm going from 53 degrees at 7:00 to 62 at noon. in martinez we'll see a cooler day. look at the temperature trend, it remains relatively flat as we go into the morning, from the afternoon as well as the evening. we are going to see those temperatures holding steady today. upper 50s expected with san jose reaching 64 degrees.

we are going to see more clouds moving in and cooler temperatures and also some breezy winds. we see the cold front moving through and see the wind shift and turn northerly once again making it warm up and also keep our weather very dry and then going into next week an area of low pressure moving in, by tuesday close enough it could bring in some rain to our north and then it looks like it skips to the south of us. we hope we'll see a couple showers out of that by the middle of next week as much cooler temperatures arrive again. a look at our temperature trend. that roller coaster, upper 60s today riding up to 76 degrees in the weekend peaking on mon dap monday. san francisco will have some upper 50s for the next couple of days. and, mike, you've been tracking

the roads. how is it looking? it's all about the road crews. here we're looking at north 101. you showed the wide shot, a pleasant drive. i zoomed in because i did see more slowing just north of marsh and i did see a couple sets of flashing lights travel again. between 4:30 and 5:45 we typically seep the crews clearing up and traffic breaks along the corridor between the embarcadero and whipple road. wanted to give you that shoutout and a little slowing coming off the dumbarton bridge and down bayfront expressway over to marsh. the south bay shows a drive. another note for the south bay, though, reports of northbound 101, so coming up on this corridor reports of wood, 2x4s in your left lane. stay over to your right. there may have to be a traffic break. we don't want you to have anything happening in any way you have to avoid. back to you. thanks, mike. 5:21 right now.

participating churches. a new push to legalize sports gambling in california. 18 native american tribes are now pushing for california voters to weigh in on the issue next year. this is to legalize sports betting at indian gaming casinos and california racetracks. the supreme court recently opened up sports gambling to states outside nevada, but its future in california is still not clear. the state legislature is considering a similar ballot measu measure. 5:26. a follow-up on an emotional moment this week for long time jeopardy host alex trebek. >> let's take a look at your response. did you come up with the right one? no. what is we love you alex. that's very kind of you. thank you. cost you $1,995. you're left with $5. >> maybe you saw the video of the contestant who wrote we love you, alex, during the final

"jeopardy" round. today ellen is sitting down with that contestant, it came on the day it was publicly announced he was re-entering treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. >> we could really tell it was tough for him. when i got up there i wasn't going to win the game or anything. i could try to figure out the answer or do something for this person who might need it right now. >> so nice. >> tune in for "ellen" and see what she's doing in trebek's honor. >> certainly one to watch. 5:27 right now. coming up on "today in the bay," the top stories on this thursday morning including another rowdy night at the oakland school board meeting. take a listen to this.

mid-50s but not see our temperatures rise very much. only reaching 58 degrees. a few peeks of sunshine as we start out with mostly cloudy skies. mike, any surprises right now? >> not right now as far as on the chp report. we have our expectations fulfilled. a clear view, no problems for fog, the bay bridge, or the approach or toward the golden gate bridge. over here slowing for highway 4, 242 right there has been slow all morning. i'll show you what we're getting. no chp reports of any problems there. north 101, typical there and that should sort out for morning. back to you. >> now back to that meeting we were talking about.

it's unfortunate their protest disrupted the meeting because there was so much information to cover. no school closure was on the agenda. a vote for that. board members were scheduled to give an update on the school closures and the district says it does support peaceful protests and has taken some public comment into consideration from past meetings. reporting live in oakland, i'm sharon kutsuda. >> thank you so much, sharon. bystanders rushed to help two people involved in a roll over crash in san mateo shortly after 1:30 on fourth and idaho streets this is near highway 101. this is video we got from the scene into our newsroom. that car struck a parked car before ending up on its side. police say one of the two victims has life threatening injuries. >> and then i heard a bang and came outside and saw the car.

i went inside to get my shoes on. he was already here. >> i called 911 before i got out of the car. the woman pinned under the car, the window on the ground. >> alcohol may have played a role in this crash. we don't know the condition of the other victim. 5:35. new details in a double shooting in antioch. police have made another arrest. it happened near la jolla drive. a boy was shot and injured. the victims drove themselves to the hospital. authorities now say a 16-year-old brentwood boy is under arrest in addition to the suspect arrested last week. developing this morning new concerns about drug dealing and drug use on federal property in san francisco. people who live near the federal

right now with a lot of fall colors. if you're planning to go up to lake shasta expect low 60s tomorrow but then warming up on saturday reaching 69 degrees. and the warmest day will be sunday as we top out at about 74 degrees. going into the north bay where we are seeing the peak fall colors and russian river valley expect some low to mid-70s throughout the weekend. so the weather is going to be great for spending lots of time outside. and then also staying nice and warm in carmel valley especially for much of the weekend. the coolest day on friday as we reach about 66 degrees and the hiking in muir woods, low 60s, up to 68 degrees on sunday. we'll talk about our temperature trend for the east bay for today coming up in about three minutes. >> perfect. you gave us a lot of options for the weekend. 5:39. coming up new this morning, a key ruling in a my grant asylum

president and next week a full slate of government employees and diplomats. on wednesday we saw two long time civil servants testify, top trump adviser george kent and acting u.s. ambassador to ukraine bill taylor. in their opening statements they said they were not there to take sides, they were there to tell the truth. much of what we heard were things we had already known though taylor did add something new, he talked about a conversation he says one of his staff overheard between the president and gordon sondland talking about the president's desire that ukraine investigate joe biden's son. now that is one person talking about another person overhearing another person. and you would think the republicans' lawyer would have jumped on that but the republicans' attorney spent far more time on some of the president's conspiracy theories about ukraine than the 2016 election. series the president's close aides have said don't hold up and george kent spent time

knocking down. now gordon sondland, who was on that call will testify under oath next week. so getting the truth firsthand should be easy enough. this is the investigative phase of the impeachment process. it's happening in the intelligence committee. that's a first. past modern impeachment hearings have started with a special prosecutor and went straight to the judiciary committee. this does not have a special prosecutor so congress is doing its own investigation. now in this age of youtube and twitter you can see all kinds of clips of what happened. it summed up the day. it's eric swalwell and ambassador taylor. >> can you describe in your text message exchanges that engaging in a scheme like this is, quote, crazy. can we also agree that it's just wrong? >> yes. >> why is it wrong? >> again, our holding up of

security assistance that would go to a country that is fighting aggression from russia for no good policy reason, no good substantive reason, no good national security reason is wrong. >> we'll continue to watch this, again, action starts again tomorrow. you can follow me on twitter. >> scott, thank you. all right, look, i want you all to stick around a few minutes this morning because we have an update for you. remember that b.a.r.t. platform food fight, if you will, where a man was eating a breakfast sandwich and police eventually earrested him because of the sandwich and eating it on the platform? coming up at 6:00 he's taking the step today to hold b.a.r.t. accountable. we're going to talk about that. also, you can hear from him and hear his side of the story. new for you this morning an immigrant family seeking asylum in san diego has been granted access to legal help to fight their forced return to mexico.
