jeo just east of fremont street, so before you can hit alternates except for treasure island and that doesn't help you get into san francisco. the crash on vasco is on the shoulder, so we have only the slowing through the altamont pass and altamont pass road and that's about it. we're watching the bay bridge closely. there's a delay there. back to you. >> mike, you were just talking about it, a new sign of normalcy. up next, a popular commuter train adding services starting today as more passengers return. plus -- >> it's usually a quiet week on wall street just before easter, but probably not this week. let's take you out to the futures. it looks like things will be down. we'll explain why wall street is so wobbly, coming up. ♪ the way you hold me, hold me, hold hold me ♪ ♪ feels so holy, holy, holy, holy, holey ♪ ♪ oh, god ♪ >> just makes you want to break out in song. justin bieber making some music history today. his unprecedented climb done

billions of dollars and it's been selling a lot of its positions. sold so much stock on, in viacom over the last week the parent company cbs, viacom stock was town about 50% last week. cierra mentioned the stuck ship they have partially floated. it may affect supplies and prices for weeks to come. there's an interesting new website where programmers cobbled together a program that lets you put the "evergiven" in whatever says you want. this is what it would look like if it got stuck in the boston harbor. gives you an understanding of how big this ship it. but if you tried to get it stuck in the entrance to san francisco bay you realize how big the golden gate is, how long the bridge is. the ship is tiny by comparison. we were talking earlier that a ship about that size passed through the golden gate bridge about two years ago, it was the "msc anna" at 1,300 feet long, so about the same, though apparently they don't come to san francisco bay but apparently

royal caribbean has ships that are even bigger than that. >> wow. >> can you imagine? a cruise ship that big? >> wow. >> getting it to easy. >> as we round trip weekday train between auburn and san jose. and that means passengers can now travel the entire capitol corridor route without a transfer. it comes almost one year to the day the pandemic forced a drastic cutback in service. also vta will start collecting fares again this thursday. people headed to and from vaccination sites are still offered free transportation with that proof of appointment. trending this morning, justin bieber is back at number one. ♪ and i see you, the way i breathe you in ♪ ♪ it's the texture of your skin ♪ >> the new album "justice" is

through and it will kick up winds tonight so temperatures won't be as chilly. the high pressure is nudging in closer and will warm up our temperature us wednesday answer thur. look at what's coming our way by the end of the week there could be a storm system that could bring us finally some rain going into next week but it's pretty much all dry throughout the week and temperatures going up and down. we have some low 70s today and some low 80s in the next couple of days. wednesday and thursday will feel more like summer but check out the weekend, we're going back into the 60s for highs, and so as you can see, we do have a lot of changes ahead and you'll want to make sure you keep checking in to see what's going on each day. mike, what do you have going on now looking at the commute, starting to ramp up a little bit. >> yeah, really a problem getting over from oakland and into san francisco. i showed you the backup at the

toll plaza, completely filled in. another look at the bay bridge itself from our emeryville camera. you see, look, the lights on the far side of the bridge right there, could you see where the cluster is all the way back through the tunnel and all the way along the incline. the map shows you. the issue there is a crash blocking just one lane over there just around the center anchorage. there is a crew on scene. a couple of crews there helping out but that backup quickly built through the toll plaza itself. your ultimate is b.a.r.t., no delays under the water or the san mateo or the richmond to san rafael bridges. both are moving smoothly as is the rest of the bay. back to you. >> thanks, mike. when two oakland moms occupied a vacant home to highlight the housing crisis, they took on the world. coming up, hear from one of the moms herself how she came to that decision and why she keeps fighting. but first, our team is always on social media. laura garcia got a chance to get away to tahoe over the weekend. she said on facebook it was her

"today in the bay's" jay gray is live outside the courthouse and jay, national interest in this case. how are things there now? >> reporter: hey, good morning. tense, as they have leading into this trial and as you would

expect we've seen people gathering throughout the morning and we expect that's going to continue to build through the day. george floyd's death last summer sparked a national movement, a demand for social justice, and equality. those crowds that are outside the courthouse and will be through the duration of this trial say what happens inside will give them a better idea of how far they've come and how far they still have to go. windows were boarded up, streets blocked off. the number of police and national guard troops growing around the courthouse, security that will continue to build through the trial. >> that presence will reach capacity at a graduated scale as we get closer in to the verdict and dlbrations, the capacity is 2,000 n >> reporter: there were protest this is weekend and crowds outside the courthouse are expected to grow as the

high-profile case unfolds. >> so just as we stood when he was killed, we are going to stand with that verdict, if we don't get what we want. >> reporter: george floyd's family joined supporters at a vigil sunday night. >> there's a time for change and that change is now. there's only one race and it's the human race. >> reporter: outside the courtroom, the judge expected to take care of some legal housekeeping matters before seating the jury that will ultimately determine derek chauvin's fate. the legal observers point out it's not only the former minnesota police officer on trial here. >> it's difficult not also to think more broadly about the fact that the nation is watching, because it's also about the fundamental integrity of the system. >> reporter: what will likely be a tense and emotional case is expected to last two to four weeks. and on this opening day, the

judge says he does expect to hear testimony, so once they get inside they'll get things moving pretty quickly. back to you. >> jay, thank you. coming up on the "today" show, you can watch more of that exclusive interview with floyd's brother, that's at 7:00 a.m., right after "today in the bay." a nonprofit is set to lead social services for unaccompanied minors staying atization's convention center. the group sbcs was asked by the u.s. department of health and human services to lead that effort. close to 500 migrant children ages 13 to 17 arrived at the center over the weekend. all will be shelter there had until they can be transported to safe housing with family members or sponsors living in the united states and president biden >> scott mcgrew, the president has said all a priority. >> yes, and voters reallye by a approval rating for the job

biden has done with vaccine distribution, 72% approval rating on overall efforts to fight covid. meanwhile, cnn over the weekend ran a special report with interviews from some of the key players in the fight against covid including dr. deborah birx, who said america's initial response to coronavirus was so dismal, it's responsible for hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths. >> i look at it this way. the first time we have an excuse. there were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. all of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially. >> you'll remember dr. birx was conspicuously silent at key moments as america flubbed its response, including this, she's just off camera, president trump looking at her, saying nothing when the then president suggested ingesting disinfectant

to cure covid, and some people did just that. president biden's going to split his next proposals into two, introducing an infrastructure plan at a speech in pittsburgh on wednesday, then green energy and child care next month. he said at his press conference last week that gun control was not a priority, compared to infrastructure. that infrastructure must come first but some in congress are ready to move ahead. you'll hear from senator chris murphy first then biden's response. >> but i've gotten a lot of calls from republicans in the senate who don't want to fight this fight any longer because the nra's authority is fading, the anti-gun violence movement's impact is increasing. i think we have a chance. >> reporter: a senator said he thinks there's a chance to get 60 votes for a background check proposal. are you prepared to make calls to republicans? >> of course i am. i'm the only one that has got them passed. everyone wonders if i'm for

rational gun control. the only gun control legislation ever passed is mine. it's going to issue with the cl he is the only one. weapons ban that he is referring to. it was passed as a larger plan, the violent crime control and law enforcement act, biden drafted and sponsored the overall bill as chairman of the judiciary at the time. we are talking about this on twitter, i'm @scottmcgrew. how is this as a way to celebrate women's empowerment month. senator dianne feinstein became california's longest serving u.s. senator in history. yesterday marked her 10,372nd day in office, braekd the record by johnson, a former governor wlo w.h.o. became senator in 1917 and served until 1945. the 87-year-old was first elected in 1992. she chose not to comment publicly on this latest

more like the mid-60s today, but still pretty good, and the winds will start to pick up today. what's going on here? we have low pressure moving away and high pressure moving right over the bay area. by the middle of the week it will cause temperatures to go up but look at what's headed our way, by the weekend, finally a storm system that will be moving closer and maybe even bring us some rain by late sunday into early next week. so look at all of these changes here. we're starting out the week with some most 70s for the inland areas, and then we warm up as the winds really start to gust between tonight and early tomorrow, and then on wednesday, we're reaching into the low 80s. this weekend, we're going right back to the 60s. so we have the need for all kinds of weather and digging out different kinds of clothes out of the closet this week. i'll keep you up to date. let's head over to mike keeping you up to date on the commute. >> kari, if we need anything other than sweats, hoodies, i may be in trouble now as my
