>> another cold morning to bundle up but it is a nice day. a live look outside in san rafael, watching the north bay because temperatures are dropping in some spots below freezing. we're at 31 in napa. and one degree above freezing in livermore. 32 in san martin. so those are the coldest areas. then into the day, sunshine and a warmer temperature for this afternoon. so we'll talk more about this and look all around the bay coming up. mike, you're focusing on the east bay. because we have the build of the bay bridge toll plaza but that is not the breaking news. over all of the speed sensors they look all right but you have a problem at mallory on northbound 880, that on-ramp is closed in fremont. there is police activity there. related to a car found over at fire station eight, that is miles away in fremont as well, that has bullet holes in it. that is a big tease there. bob redell has the story and details on what is going on at the on-ramp. there you are, bob.

>> reporter: good morning to you, mike. i was just speaking with with a chp sergeant leading this investigation. they tell us that they are about to open the on-ramp, the mallory avenue on-ramp on 80 that is shut down since around 3:00 this morning when the shooting happened. the sergeant did indicate they found about five bullet cases here on the on-ramp and it it was around 3:00 this morning there was a driver of a bmw had who tells chp that there were two cars following him, reasons unknown, but at least the driver or somebody in one of the cars at least one with of the people started shooting at him. and hit his vehicle. now the driver of this bmw, this is video here, drove his car to the fremont fire station number eight which is about four and a half miles from here and called 911. you could see the officers there were investigating. they found two bullet holes in the back of his vehicle. he was not hurt. and, again, there are at least one if not two suspect vehicles,

chp doesn't have a description of the vehicles and again no indication why this car was shot at. so, again, the mallory avenue on-ramp at 880 after had this investigation going on for about two hours. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. hundreds of americans under quarantine for the coronavirus in china are now back in the bay area. they landed at travis air force base in the last hour. the 350 people who just made the 12-hour trip were desperate to get out of wuhan. the epicenter sweeping across the world. pete suratos is at travis air force base and now they have arrived and what is next for the passengers? >> reporter: well, guys, we though that one of the planes plans to refuel here at travis air force base before heading to another base in san diego. but that second plane of passengers are going to remain

here on the base and they'll be quarantined as a result of being here on the base. but you did mention that new video that we have of one of the planes landing here. you can see it here at travis air force base. military officials say those passengers will be quarantined tor 14 days at the westwood inn hotel on the base. now government officials did tap travis air force base as one of four u.s. military bases to be on stand-by for travelers coming from china who may need to be quarantined. as a safety and health precaution officials say a safety cordon will are be established to separate residential housing on the base from those evacuees and you have solano count public health department posting on the facebook page that the risk of the virus spreading to the community around us is low. but of course there are still a level of concern for folks in the area. >> is 14 days enough? i mean, do they know enough about this to know exactly how long it takes to show up? >> for the safety of all of us here in this country, hopefully

they're capable of containing that and keeping those people quarantined. >> reporter: now, as personnel at travis air force base deal with this morning's situation, there is new developments at another military base in riverside where many arrived from china and the reports are that an intent was part of the group that was hospitalized with a fever. so we'll keep an eye on that. but cdc will hold a news conference more more details later today and that will take place at 12:00 p.m. reporting live, pete suratos tor "today in the bay." >> thank you. as for the latest numbers there, at least 24,000 people have now been infected in mainland china with nearly 500 deaths. four people in the bay area have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. two in santa clara county and two in san benito county. 5:04 now, a live look at capitol hill where the senate impeachment trial is expected to wrap up this afternoon. with a likely vote to clear

president trump. this comes on the heels of last night's state of the union address. a speech many say was designed to rally president trump's biggest supporters. "today in the bay" tracie potts covering it all from the washington bureau. >> reporter: a final vote today expected to acquit president trump of abuse of power and obstruction of congress. >> the president has done nothing to warrant this impeachment process. he must be acquitted. >> i do not believe that the house has met its burden of showing that the president's conduct, however flawed, warrants the extreme step of immediate removal from office. >> reporter: democrats defeated but noting many republicans agree president trump was wrong to push ukraine into a political investigation. >> this is no time for the president to be chest thumping. >> he tried to cheat. he got caught. and he worked hard to cover it up. >> reporter: this vote just

hours after president trump's state of the union message touting a strong chi and job growth. >> the state of our union is stronger than ever before. >> reporter: he pushed issues to rally republican voters. >> a long, tall and very powerful wall is being built. >> reporter: the speech never mentioned impeachment was full of what some called theatrics, awarding the presidential medal of freedom to conservative talk show host rush limbaugh and a surprise soldier reunion. in dramatic fashion, nancy pelosi standing behind the president ripped his speech in half. >> it was a courteous thing to do considering the alternative. >> reporter: a president soon to be acquitted and a nation still divided. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. protests are being planned around the nation in anticipation of today's likely senate acquittal including groups in nine bay area cities

organizing demonstrations for later today. well turning to decision 2020, results are still coming in from the problem plagued iowa caucus. about 70% of precincts are now reporting and right now it appears pete buttigieg is leading the delegate count with 27%. vermont senator bernie sanders is right behind him and elizabeth warren and former vice president joe biden are in third and fourth place. now all of that could change still when the final votes are countedment meanwhile, everybody asking what happened in iowa. the state's democratic party is apologizing for the delay saying the reporting app had a coding error. they are now using the paper rail to double check the results and there is an investigation underway. nevada had been planning to use the same system for its caucuses but now canceling those plans. well happening today for you, more than 100 uber and lyft drivers across the state are expected to file a lawsuit.

according to "the chronicle," they're fighting to be considered employees and say that they're entitled to back pay, overtime and expenses for the past three years. both companies are fighting to keep workers as independent contractors since the state's new gig economy law took effect last month arguing it will increase costs anz destroy driver flexibility. the drivers filing suit today are trying to force uber and lyft to comply. the long-awaiting trial surrounding a deadly stabbing on a b.a.r.t. station is set to get underway. john lee cowell is accused of killing nia wilson and injuring her sister in july of 2018. investigators say the attack was unprovoked. case faced long delays in large part over questions about cowell's competency. the judge recently ruled he is, indeed, fit to stand trial. happening today, a new lawsuit will be filed against san francisco county jails saying that the conditions for inmates are are not adequate. a federal judge ordered the jail

to give inmates at least one hour of direct sunlight a week and one hour a day if the gym. this isn't the first lawsuit against the jail. back in 2017 representured pipes at the jail swamped more than 200 inmates with sewage and this is for more than a year. that case was reacceptly settled. and redevelopment of the diridon station in san jose is now a good. last week we reported cal train and vta had two options to redevelop the station. option one, expand the existing rail corridor, option two a new vaddock over 280. last night the city and cal train and vta voted to expand the existing rail corridor and that new track will cut through parts of willow glen neighborhoods. city leaders say that redevelopment will take years to complete. and right now at 5:09 as you head out of the door, it is going to be a cold one in some

spots where we're dipping near or below freezing. we're in the upper 30s right now in san jose. if you're heading out to the diridon station, 37 degrees through 7:00 and then into the rest of the day, a lot of sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures compared to yesterday. here is a look at all of our highs for today. reaching 60 in san jose. 60 in livermore. and 64 today in napa. while san francisco will reach the upper 50s. mike, you're starting in san jose with a traffic break. in fact, on the second round, stopping up north 101 from our camera north of 680, you see the overcrossing allen rock and mckie and as you go under the overpass there is a puddle and yesterday it froze and reports of ice there and today the same thing. so this is a second track they're running to put sand down over the thin sheet of ice so be careful there for everyone. the rest of the bay does show a smooth flow of traffic but we're watching the mallory on-ramp after an overnight shooting

investigation continues for the next tew minutes and the rest of the bay approaching the back-up forming at the bay bridge. back to you. >> it is 5:10 now. next on "today in the bay," where lax needs a slew of fake passengers and how you could apply for a gig. and what one man did to hack google maps causing a major back-up. you'll be surprised what he did. >> i enjoy explaining the markets to you every morning. this morning just shrug emoji. we'll try to figure it out when "today in the bay" continues. the number of uninsured americans,

rising. the cost of prescription drugs, rising. the threat to people with pre-existing conditions, rising. the good news, so is support for the one candidate who'll do something about it. as mayor, mike bloomberg helped expand coverage for seven hundred thousand people, including hundreds of thousands of kids. including hundreds of thousands of kids. as president, he'll lower drug costs and ensure everyone without coverage can get it. that's a promise. and unlike him, mike actually keeps his. i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

we're coming up on 5:14. in concord, mid-30s as you walk out of the door. yes, it is cold. and we'll see a nice warm-up today. grab those sunglasses and coat and just be prepared for it all. we'll talk about a warm-up in our forecast heading toward the end of the week. that is coming up in less than five minutes. that cold weather results in a series of traffic breaks. here in san jose we backed our view up showing 101 toward mckie and allen rock and another police investigation and a closure for an on-ramp as well. well good morning, very happy wednesday to you. you know usually i can do a pretty good job of explaining these numbers to you. and i could explain why the nasdaq hit a new high. it was driven higher by tesla

there. but i can't explain tesla gaining 13% again yesterday. that stock is on a tear but the fundamentals aren't behind it. and then e-bay, you got pe on this one. the "wall street journal" reports that the company that runs the new york stock exchange wants to buy e-bay based in san jose. this is a mystery. both deal with market places but other han that it is hard to explain. we'll keep then eye on it. we'll talk about president trump's state of the union throughout the morning. i'll touch on it again in checks and balances. the top line, he played up the economy and the economy is doing very well. not as well as the president claims it is. he talked about gdp growth of 7% and complained obama's 2% was embarrassing, the latest gdp put both at 2.3%. fox con that makes apple iphones is telling chinese employees coming back to work they have to undergo quarantine

tor 14 days because of coronavirus. bloomberg the first to report that. biggest iphone factory about 300 miles from wuhan. a lot of employees live at that factory campus so it is not a huge logistical problem. those factories are closed reopening on february 10th. and disney said more than 26 million households signed up for disney plus. and, laura, i know that jack is a huge mandalorian fan. i haven't signed up for this. but i have signed up for cbs to watch pick yard and for apple to watch the morning show. i like it very much. i just have too many subscriptions and need to think about prioritizing. >> you have time to watch them. >> yeah. i don't have triplets. i have two grown boys who could handle their own lives. >> i started watching mandalorian with jack and it is like i have to go make dinner and throw in that laundry.

it is goodment it , it is fun. >> thanks, scott. dyson is working on a way to clean the area. the company filed a patent for over the ear headphones as air purifiers and shows motors and fans filter air. they make air filters for homes so some say this might not be too much of a stress. >> cool. well maybe you've seen it in an airport yourself and out of control passenger or parents trying to calm a child down who has a meltdown and now i have a chance to be an unruly passenger at l.a.x. the airport is looking for 500 volunteers to act out scenarios at the new concourse. all volunteers have to do is catch a flight in the new terminal but obstacles will be placed along the way meant to see if the new concourse is

safe. >> with all of the hollywood actors, i'm sure there will be a lot of people. >> ahh. >> so dramatic. so here is the stunt that makes your old-fashioned crank call look tame. >> an artist in ber lib going viral for tricking google map news believing there was a major traffic jam when there wasn't one at all and he dragged nearly 100 cell phons in a wagon through a city street. all of the location services were turned on and they were sending data to google maps causing it to believe there was a traffic jam in that area. in response the company said that stunts like this one really help them make google maps workwork better over time so maybe he's helping out. >> that is a lot of work to do. >> multiple cameras and -- >> dedicated. >> you look at the map and see there is a backup and you get there and it is like i wonder what happened. there is no back-up here. >> someone was walking a cell phone. >> that is when you need us.

we get the data from computer and we have to figure out what is going on. >> we do count on mike a lot. >> i'm watching for the wagons there. >> wagons beware. all right. so we're all having to bundle up with this cold air. check out our current temperatures right now. as we are starting out with a lot of 30s here and looking at san martin. down to 29 degrees. it is cold. as we zoom in on the north bay, napa at 31. we're at 42 in cloverdale and santa rosa at 34 degrees. the seven-day forecast is already up at the bottom of the screen as we talk about how cold it has been. now yesterday morning when you walked out of the door it was really windy and that wind mixes it up and makes it not as cold. so that is why we had those mid-40s in parts of the north bay and it may be breezy where we see the temperatures a little bit higher and then where with we did have the freezing temperatures we called them wind-sheltered valleys.

they are not getting as much as the wind and temperatures have been dropping down into the 20s and 030s so the reason why you see a huge difference in temperatures over a short difference and thousand the wind is calming down. much more of a calm wind today compared to yesterday and temperatures warming up just a lit for this afternoon. morgan hill reaching 62 degrees. and 61 in cupertino. east bay high temperatures up to 63 in danville. we've also had the sinking air clear skies due to the high pressure that is just off to our west. as we go throughout the week, all of that rain and the storm system staying to the north. up until about sunday. as it moves in it is going to dry out. but will still bring in cold temperature as long with gusty winds. so we're going from the low 60s today to the upper 60s by the end of the week. and then by the weekend we're cooling off a few more degrees but still not a drop of rain anywhere in this seven-day forecast. we may see it beyond the

seven-day. mike, you're tracking three important spots. that is right. and they just changed so i just juggled my maps around. here first we'll focus on fremont. the police investigation that had the on-ramp for northbound 880 closed until just seconds ago. bob redell sent me a text with exclamation point, it is now open. the on-ramp from mallory reopened on the northbound 880. the scene still there. bob still following the story. a shooting here, a car with bullet holes at fremont fire station eight and that is almost five miles away on surface streets so more details to come in from that scene. we also have slowing northbound 101. now we talked about smaller crashes not a big deal. this crash doesn't seem like it is related although yet we did have a crash related to a traffic break. there was a series of traffic breaks north 101 by 680 toward mckie where the underpass there once again has a thin sheet of ice and overnight freezing from a small puddle almost always

there. we thought sand on the freeway to make sure the grip is okay and yesterday there was a crash in the back-up and today the same back-up but no crash. this back-up at the bay bridge toll plaza. we should see metering lights any second. back to you. >> thanks, mike. two dogs home alone find themself in a rough situation. a look at the viral video that shows how they started a fire. >> bad dog. plus a major mail mix-up to tell you about this morning. mistake that led to one couple getting 55,000 letters containing the same billing statement. and there is a lot of puppy love going on in the bay area. yesterday morning on "today in the bay" we were talking about how to keep your animals warm and cozy. i asked for pictures and, boy, did you viewers deliver. we saw so many closy blankets, electric blankets and heaters and aren't they cute.

slightly warmer than yesterdayment it is going to be a nice one after a chilly start. and we'll talk about even warmer temperatures in the forecast coming up. mike, it looks a little odd at the bay bridge. the way it is stacked up. we do have lanes just thousand filling in. but the way they were filling this was just an odd pattern here. we do finally have the traffic lanes backed up second for the secondary toll plaza, that is clear. so that does indicate a liar flow of traffic into the area and still look at this view. contra costa county no probe and the maze smooth until you get to the toll plaza. the on-ramp mallory reopened, there was a police investigation and you'll hear more about the shooting coming up but north 101 does slow from 680 up toward allen rock and there was ice just like yesterday in the roadway and they had to put sand on the frozen puddle. back to you. breaking news. hundreds of americans under quarantine for the coronavirus

in china are now now in the bay area. they landed at travis air force base in the last hour. out of the 350 people who just made the 12-hour trip, they were desperate to get out of wuhan. that is the epicenter of the virus sweeping around the world. pete suratos is live there at travis air force base. and pete, now that people have arrived here, talk to us about what is next? what will they have to go through now that they're here? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus. we know that one of the planes will refuel here before heading to another base in san diego. but that second plane of passengers, they're going to stay here at travis air force base and they'll be quarantined for at least 14 days. we do have the video that you just showed our viewers. one of the planes landing here just around 4:00 a.m. and as ai mentioned, military officials say the passengers will be quarantined for 14 days at the westwood inn hotel here at travis air force base. they tapped travis air force base as one of four u.s.

military based to be on stand-by for travellers from china who may need to be quarantined. as a safety and health precaution, officials say they'll have a safety cordon established to separate residential housing on the base from the evacuees. the public health department did post on the facebook page that the risk of the virus spreading to the community is low. so a lot of moving pieces here. we know the cdc will hold a news conference with more details taking place at 12:00 p.m. reporting live, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> pete, thank you. well as for the latest numbers, at least 24,000 people have now been infected in the mainland china area with nearly 500 deaths. four people in the bay area have been diagnosed with coronavirus. two in santa clara county and two in san benito county. more breaking news. this out of fremont where where the chp is investigating a shooting on 880. someone shot up a car around 3:00 this morning at mallory

avenue. there were bullet holes until the car. the driver said he was being followed by two cars and someone in one of the vehicles started shooting. no one was hurt. chp said there is no indication why that car was targeted. san francisco's pride parade still months away but happening today the battle is heating up over who should be allowed to take part. kris sanchez is live outside of google headquarters in mountain view. the company is now trobt a-- is front and center in this controversy, kris. >> reporter: the board of directors for the pride organization is meeting and one of the hot topics is a vote to ban google from participating in sponsoring pride 2020. however, it is a vote that the president of the board said might not be legally binding. here is the back story. last month a portion of the pride organization membership held a vote to ban google from the june parade and that vote passed. some current and former google employees called for pride to drop google as a participant and

sponsor over the treatment of lgbtq people on youtube and other google products. they were not dropped in the parade last year and the issue carried toward to this year's pride. but it seems that that vote that happened last month is not legally binding. as part of the pride's president statement saying in part our legal team has reviewed last week's vote by a small group of pride's 326 members and determined this measure is not binding. as such, there is no ban in place at this time. this small group is not representative of the larger pride community. now the eviction of the moms for housing was the impetuous for a vote to ban the alameda county sheriff's department from marching in the parade this year. it is unclear whether that vote is also under review. both of those votes happened in january. now the pride board meeting is tonight at 7:00. it is in san francisco. in mountain view, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> with we know you'll follow that for us, chris, thank you.

5:36 this morning. a new fallout from the san francisco public works scandal. it may reportedly prompt changes at city hall to federal agents last week arrested public works director mohammed nuru accused of corruption tied to a restaurant deal at sfo. city attorneys are investigating and nuru is still employed. the supervisors yesterday introduced new legislation to change the handling out of those contracts. other legislation would introduce term limits for airport commissioners. you could go to our investigative unit section of our home page. this is for those recent stories tied to that scandal. new video police want you to see this morning tied to a deadly stabbing in san jose. showing three people running from the area where an 18-year-old man died on october 6th. the stabbing happened along allen rock avenue. anyone who recognized them should contact san jose police. 5:37 now. a deadly shooting on board a bay

area bound greyhound bus is making some wonder if there is enough security for trains and buses. one person died and five others were injured. passengers managed to disarm the shooter who is now in custody. in general violence on buses is pretty rare. but critics say the tsa may focus too much of their attention on airports, at the expense of bus depots and train administrations. pg&e is one step closer to emerging from bankruptcy. a judge yesterday approving a deal to allow the utility to refinance billion dollars in debt. that money will be used to pay off utility bondholders. you remember may the governor rejected the pg&e two original bankruptcy proposals and still pushing for a state takeover of the utility. and san francisco recent car-free makeover on market street is giving berkeley leaders a similar idea. the east bay times reported that

one council member is looking at banning cars at dwight and the cal campus. it would make telegraph a more welcoming street for walkers and bicyclists but some neighbors fear a ban would bring more traffic to side streets. i guarantee you, cars can't go in one section they have to go to another street. that is the way it goes. over here cars were slow because of a traffic break. sand being put down over a frozen putle at mckie and then a crash causing a back-up. but the majority of the lanes are open once again at oakland road. still a slow stretch. we expect slow in this spot for san jose at this time. but it is a little extra slow right now. give yourself another five minutes through that area. the rest of the south bay and peninsula move nicely. that on-ramp cleared at mallory and the investigation at the on-ramp to northbound 880 is reopened and a smooth drive

aside of the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights are on. >> and we're ready for the weekend. >> it is hump day. >> is it cold again. will it carry through the weekend? >> it will warm up for the weekend. especially on saturday. that is the warmest day we'll see. with some of the inland areas in the upper 60s. for the boy expect a high of about 64 degrees and upper 50s along the coast. on sunday it is cooler and it is going to be windy. so just a heads up about that as you make plans to get outside. if you are going to the pebble beach proam this weekend, that continues for the second round on friday highs in the upper 50s and also going to be cool throughout the weekend there as we'll see the winds picking up on sunday. that is when you really need the extra layers out there. it wi it will also be cool if you're going to the chinese new year parade in save at about 5:15 at about 55 degrees and cooling down to 52 degrees at 7:00.

and this weekend in napa valley, friday is going to be the warmest. we'll see some upper 60s there and we'll check out our south bay temperature trend for today in about three minutes. have you seen this. two dogs finding themselves in a bit of a rough situation. new security vid shows one of them caused a fire inside of a new mexico home. it happened when one of the dogs knocked over an ironing board and some other items. kind scary. they were melted by the furnace and then the material entered into the heater and it just sparked that fire. luckily both dogs managed to escape. >> that is very scary. >> 5:41 this morning. and we have a brewing debate over the delta and a lawsuit. >> when you add it all up, president trump honestly is having one of the absolute best weeks of his entire presidency.
