good morning, top stories we are following for you on this tuesday, september 3rd.

ito put it to it should be for this time of year. here's a live without live at the approach to the bay bridge toll plaza. i did get to drive the new bridge for the first time yesterday and i do want to point out a couple of things. for those of you seen the 880 approach, you have to get immediately into the fasttrack lanes. you can see why dividers and they come up pretty quick pit traffic

here at the toll plaza is doing pretty well. we're not hearing of any delays whatsoever going across the upper deck sorry there is no project anymore. but heading into the westbound direction toward san francisco. san mateo bridge looking good very quiet at this hour. your drive time just to up to 30 minutes. last but not least here's the live look at your golden gate bridge southbound 1013 it is a little hazy with dense fog. >>james:the cleveland man who held three women captive for more than a decade. is dead. we'll have the latest on the prison death of ariel castro. and the new bay bridge is open for business. but with a new bridge come new challenges for engineers. corrections officials in ohio say the cleveland man who was serving a life sentence plus 1,000 years for holding three women captive was in protective custody behind bars, but was not under suicide watch. officials say 58-year-old ariel castrol hanged himself in his cell last night. cnn's ed payne has the details.

he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. castro's death comes a month after his first victim a show like argued in court that he should live his life locked up as she did. >>darya: you deserve to spend life in prison. >>: castro admitted to kidnapping three women agreed to train them and after impregnating damp murdering her unborn child. he pleaded guilty to a list of 937 crimes. but claimed he wasn't a violent predators. the three women who survived the house of horrors' released a video together to think well wishers. >>: everyone who has been there to support as has been a blessing to have such an outpouring of love and kindness. >>: it went to the home to release of the loans for

others held captive. and watched as the home where they were kept for nearly a decade was demolished. >>james:the lanes are open and traffic is moving across the new span of the bay bridge. and while the highway patrol watches the drivers. behind the scenes engineers are watching the rest of the bridge. kron 4's alecia reed explains. within the first 24 hours of be the new bay bridge's

opening, hundreds of thousands of drivers have made their way across the span. this bridge is safer than the old one, and ready to withstand an earthquake. >> there are seismic monitors inside the bridge that are measuring seismic movement and loads on the bridge and gives us feedback. so we haven't heard or seen anything that would lead us to believe it's not doing the job it was designed to do. the bridge was constructed to carry the same, if not more weight than the original bay bridge. so far officials are very pleased with its performance.

>> it's currently 280 thousand vehicles a day, still 5 lanes of traffic on both sides, but now we have shoulders on both sides. there are definitely a few strategic differences. it's no longer a double deck structure.and east and westbound lanes are side by side there is still a lot of fundamental work to be done. the broken bolts are on their way to being fixed, and the bike paths need to be finished. we're told those are minor compared to getting this structure open, where drivers are much safer on the new bay bridge alecia reid kron 4 news. thousands of people are crossing the new eastern span for the first time each day this week. kron 4's charles clifford shows us. the changes you'll see on the new bridge.

for the first time ever, bike riders and pedestrians are able to cross the bay bridge it is all part of the new construction on the span. the path runs along the south side of the new span. it has an outside lane for pedestrians, plus a separate area for bike lanes in each direction. bicyclists on the lanes were thrilled to finally ride on the bridge. the path stops at the new suspension tower. there everyone will have to turn

around. the bike path should be fully completed by early 2015 and will provide access to yerba buena island. firefighters are making progress battling the wildfire burning in and around yosemite national park. nearly 236- thousand acres have burned since the fire started august 17th.

the fire is 80-percent contained. the san francisco public utilities commissions says, the hetch hetchy reservoir

which provides water to 2- point- 6 million san francisco area residents. remains unaffected, despite ash falling on the water. the debate over racial profiling by police, has led to a new policy in san jose. starting september 1st, officers began following a new procedure. allowing them to record the ethnicity of people who are detained, but not actually arrested. two years in the making, the new so-called 'limited detention' policy was in part recommended by the city's independent police auditor. amid complaints from minority groups which felt they were being targeted by police. under the new policy, documentation will occur only in cases where officers stop someone and

make them sit on a curb, place them in handcuffs, or put them in the back of a police car. for 11 is the time. we will return with a full check on weather and traffic coming up after the break.

two days later stating its last offer was in fact a final offer, and that ?engaging in ongoing or further discussions would not be fruitful? because that final offer was not presented to all members of the union. the union followed up with an email that same day calling the so called ?final offer? an ?unfair labor practice? and once again asked management to meet. bart management attorney thomas hock responded by saying there was ?nothing in the court?s order? that specifies any required meeting schedule.? the unions finally contacted the attorney general, and though they didn?t receive a response management as agreed to meet on the 12 and 17th of september, less than a month before the cooling off period expires.

stockholm, where he'll meet with sweden's prime minister and other leaders. the president then heads to russia for the g-20 summit. that summit was supposed to concentrate on the global economy but it will probably be dominated by the international crisis over the alleged use of chemical weapons in syria's civil war. russian president vladimir putin is warning the west against taking one-sided action in syria. but he also says russia could support a u.n. backed military strike if it is proved that damascus used poison gas on its own people. meanwhile. back in washington. the senate foreign relations committee could vote today on authorizing the use of force against the syrian regime. the committee's top members drafted a resolution late

yesterday that would permit president obama to order a "limited and tailored" military mission against syria, as long as it doesn't exceed 90 days and doesn't involve american troops on the ground.

but this riderwasn't the only one behaving badly on the new span the driver in this red truck was just about ot get pulled over when this driver appeared look mom no hands, because the driver is recoring his drive across the bridge then he stopped only to begin recoring again ambiance sooooo the driver get to have a chat with officer williams from the san francisco office of the california highway patrol to you left sir to your left, left, left,

but frist the driver will have to figure out his left from his right get back on the road exit trasure island on the left and since the left donen't appear to be working the officer tries a different approach up ahead you will pull off to the right . keep going sir get back in the lane while officer williams is dealing with this guy watch this, this driver did another first right in front of me sir the reason why i stopped you, was that when wer were on the bridge your coming up the incline you were in the lane to my left you just cut right over and you cut me off ok
