morning. good morning. >> good morning. cooler temperatures that is the big weather headline for today and over the next few days. the fog is back in full force, even a few patches inland. in the afternoon skies partly sunny and patchy coastal fog and the cooling trend will continue. no more 90s, afternoon sea breeze will kick in. sal is standing by with an update on traffic. >> southbound 101 at shiloh road there is an accident blocking almost the entire freeway southbound. they have closed even one more lane. the shoulder is the only way to get by now. southbound 101 at shiloh road so give yourself plenty of time. also looking at all the commute. bay bridge not a big deal right now westbound traffic looks good. 6:01. back to the desk. >> topping our news this morning there are concerns that an arsonist is targeting the

area around the uc berkeley campus. since last night three areas were burned, bringing the total number of suspicious fires since friday to nine. ktvu's claudine wong has been talking to police this morning. she joins us now with the latest information. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, pam. yes, we have seen a lot of the police patrolling the area in and around the cal campus where these string of fires have happened. the most recent fires, three of them happened just overnight and at this point the latest crime alert from the police department says they have no suspects. i did talk to a police officer this morning at the scene of the most recent fire that just happened this morning, that fire was started in front of sam's market. about 3:50 this morning. it was out quickly with no damage to the nearby buildings. a stunt called 911 after spotting the flames. >> i saw a rubbish bin just

begin t burn. the flames erupting over the sides of the bin. the plastic had not begun to melt at all when i realized it was close to sam's market. >> reporter: now about three hours before he called 911 there was another suspicious fire at bancroft. that fire caused damage to trash cans and a scooter. there was a third fire before 8:00 last night on dwight. add those to the at least six other arsons in the area since friday and you certainly have an ongoing problem. it appears these fires mostly involve trash cans and minor damage but that damage is beginning to add up. certainly police are anxious to catch who ever is responsible. again we have seen several police cars patrolling this morning in and around telegraph. a lot of them have happened right along that stretch of telegraph avenue. when you talk about damage you are talking about anything that is close to those trash cans.

that has involved buildings and vehicles and several other benches and things that have certainly adding up to high cost of figuring out who did these fires and repairing the damage from them. we will continue to try to talk to police and the people around these fire areas and keep you updated. >> 6:03. ac transit has a vair important warning for east bay bus riders this morning. a growing labor dispute may lead to more service disruptions. hundreds of bus drivers didn't show up for work yesterday. many riders were stranded. others were delayed. there are concerns there could be plenty of driver no-shows once again today. now on sunday management imposed a new cost cutting contract on those drivers. this morning the drivers union is going to court. we are expecting to get an update from ac transit any minute now. we will bring that to you as soon as we get it in. there are more overnight fires to tell you about.

this time in richmond. two vehicles went up in flames. police are telling us they consider these fires suspicious. ktvu's kraig debro is at the of the fires with the details. >> reporter: this is giant road or giant highway -- [ inaudible ] >> reporter: -- light out. of course, the fire crews worked relatively quickly and -- [ inaudible ] >> reporter: -- would not be much but certainly raised the possibility that an arsonist or arsonists may have returned to contra costa county to resume a very expensive crime. investigators say there were two suspicious vehicle fires overnight in richmond. the giant highway and richmond parkway near the park jester neighborhood is the scene of the second of two locations. fire crews responded to reports an suv was on fire at this location. the fire was out quickly and no reports of injuries. investigators did not discuss with us why they think the fire

is suspicious. the location of the first overnight fire is modernock and san joaquin, fire crews responded here around 2:46 in the morning. like 3 fire at giant highway and richmond parkway investigators did not discuss with us why they think this fire seems suspicious to them, however, without any obvious physical evidence suspicion can ratio rise from circumstance. for instance if a vehicle on fire has not been reported stolen and is found near the owner's residence that could be an indication of just an arson fire. sometimes vehicles that are stolen are set on fire to cover up evidence. investigators did say neither vehicles involved in these fires had been reported stolen. of course since last year there have been at least two dozen vehicle arsons in the area. >> 6:06. walnut creek is back to normal this morning following a loud demonstration yesterday in

support of former bart police officer johannes mehserle. about 300 demonstrators took part in this. about half supporting the former bart police officer accused of killing unarmed passenger oscar grant. the rest were counter demonstrate tores supporting oscar grant's family. for about three hours there was a lot of yelling with both sides intent on making their points. [ inaudible ] >> -- support rally for someone who was charged and found guilty of killing somebody. >> it was just so obvious that it was an accident. i believe he did go to grab his taser. >> more than 100 police officers were on hand of the some of the businesses in walnut creek closed early just to be safe. now thee the rally was loud it was also peaceful. no one was arrested. about three and a half hours after it started the crowd disbursed and the road which had been partially closed was

re-opened. >> police have now identified a man shot and killed in downtown oakland late sunday night. 45-year-old gene honk cang on the left in this picture was shot to death outside a dental office at 19th and webster streets after being robbed. police say two men approached him and demanded money. they got just 17 dollars shot him and ran off. we spoke with his widow over the phone. >> -- angry, but angry won't help and won't bring my husband back. >> he was in town from virginia to interview for a job with google. he was apparently visiting a friend and getting his teeth cleaned. >> well time now 6:08. that fatal shooting was part of a wave of voi lines in oakland over the weekend and comes days after they downsized their police force by laying off 80 officers. >> i been here for two years and in the department for 12 years and this is probably one

of our busiest weeks -- weekends that we have had. >> on saturday morning bart and oakland police shot and killed a man that witnesses say had violently waived two knives. then there was a freeway shooting, which was followed by a gunman in an apartment building firing shots at the police then the robbery homicide. >> i did feel that it is kind of like an outlaw atmosphere sometimes. >> i want to keep a positive spin on oakland as much as possible and you know it is not all of oakland, it is a few people. >> police say one impact of the layoffs is many investigatorser a now out in patrol cars, that means crime investigations will take longer to complete. >> it now appears a cell phone may have played a roll in the tragic death of a pennsylvania boy vacationing in marin county. the teenager fell from the top of an ocean bluff just south of the beach. it happened yesterday afternoon when the 17-year-old boy was on a hiking trip with five other

members of his family. he fell about 500 feet to his death. park rangers say he may have been talking and texting on his cell phone and simply walked off the cliff. >> you should not be distracted by cell phones or ipods or different electronics or any other distracting agents. >> authorities have not yet identified the victim but the family is from westchester, pennsylvania, the national park service is now leading the investigation into the teenager's death. >> time now 6:10. let's go to sal. how bad was that crash? >> it is blocking most of the freeway lanes of southbound 101. a motorcycle crash, major injuries. southbound 101 at shiloh road. let me back up off the screen. the back up is building on southbound 101. a back up for a half-mile

heading down to shiloh road. if you head to santa rosa through it or to it you need to give yourself extra time. you are down to one lane in the southbound direction and obviously causing a huge traffic jam. let's take a look at live pictures highway 4 westbound moderately heavy traffic on the way to bay point. this morning's drive is okay, so far at the bay bridge toll plaza. now here is mark tamayo. >> hi there, sal. good morning to you. currently cloudy sky phs over a good portion of the bay area. more fog this morning. we been talking about a cooling trend especially inland. temperatures tomorrow cooler and this week no major heat waves. the temperature range stabilizing from lower 60s to low to mid 80s. 50s for san francisco, santa rosa, concord 56. livermore 56, hayward upper 50s at 57. high pressure weakening a little bit so no more 90s in

well, good morning to you, welcome back, time now 6:15. the oil from bp's ruptured oil well is again seeping into the gulf of mexico, however the scientists say they don't believe the cap that stopped the flow last week is making things worse. ever since the cap was put on there the engineers have been watching those underwater cameras. they have been monitoring to see if the well would hold or spring a new leak, however federal officials are saying so far the new leaks are not a major concern. they also say the seep age discovered about two miles away is probably not likely to be connected to that well. >> british prime minister david cammer ron meets with president obama at the white house today. it is his first official visit to the u.s. alison burns joins us from our washington, d.c. newsroom with a preview of what is on their agenda.

elections. voters rejected a similar plan in 2004. supporters say noncitizens who pay their taxes and send their kids to public schools should be able to vote for school board members. critics however say the right to vote should be reserved for citizens only. at least one other u.s. city, chicago, allows non-citizens to vote in school board elections. >> 6:19 is the time. there is some progress in the santa rosa crash, right, sal. >> that's right. they managed to move most of it to the right-hand-side. some people driving past the scene say it is still causing a slow down because there are major injuries and the paramedics and the fire crews are still working on someone on the shoulder so they have managed to open up lanes but that is not helping much. southbound 101 at shiloh road involving a motorcyclist hit by another vehicle and major injuries reported. let's move along to

down almost 50% when those drivers did not show up for work. normally they have about 15 buses in service over the bridge. yesterday they had eight. the union is expected today to head to court to get an injunction which lifts the current schedule. a june representative told one media outlet yesterday some workers were too unfamiliar we the new structure to work. the newly imposed contract instituted new work rules with regard to overtime. a could pay policy for medical care, employee health insurance and a two tier pension plan. ac transit says if the union has their way they can expect additional layoffs and service cuts because the new contract helps cut the district's costs by more than $15 million. and without union members working under a contract the district bleeds $300,000 per week and puts ac transit in jeopardy of becoming bankrupt. as i mentioned before, we have calls in to the union negotiate

or and ac transit is checking an update of service for us and we will pass that along to you. jade hernandez ktvu channel 2 news. >> a small group of squatters spent the night in two va indicated properties as part of a protest against homelessness. i want to take you out there. the groups rallied and marched down mission street before some of them took over an abandoned hotel. the group claims that 30,000 housing units sit empty in san francisco while as many as 15,000 people have no place to live. officers did not try to stop them but they did try to contact the landlord. >> if the wants us to remove them or prosecute them for trespassing we will. >> a permit suggested the last time anyone lived in the building was 1990. they brought supplies but it is

still unclear how long they intend to stay. we want to take you to the area. things are quiet but we do understand there are still squatters holed up inside that building, presumably planning to stay there until somebody kicks them out. we will continue to update that story. >> our time is now 6:33. investigations are underway in berkeley following suspicious overnight fires. and 3 police believe those fires may be connected to a string of recent fires in that area. claudine wong has been talking to police this morning so what do you know now claudine? >> reporter: well, we have moved back here to telegraph, dave. we wanted to show you what is left of this can. this was not a big fire but police believe it could be connected to a much bigger problem that started last friday. i did talk with a police officer who told me this fire was called in at 3:50 and put

out quickly. 3 flames were called in by a student walking by. here is what he said. >> i did not see anyone at all, no. it was -- the flames had not expho over the sides of the bin -- [overlapping speakers] [ inaudible ] >> -- two crash cans and a scooter. there was a third fire just before 8:00 that involved a trash can in an alleyy. add those to six other arsons and you have a growing problem. most of these fires involve trash cans. we did just get video of a port- a-potty damaged in a fire on sunday morning. again, damage has been minor but it is adding up, a couple of vehicles have been damaged, a light pole, a bench, a scooter, and, of course any

time you have trash cans near buildings you have potential for these fires to spread. no reports of any injuries but no suspects either. certainly at this point this is being investigated by the fire department, by uc police and by perkily police and they are hoping that anyone who has any information gives them a call. we are going to continue to try to talk to these business owner as things on up because certainly they have witnessed several fires since friday and we will keep you updated on mornings on 2. >> a warning is going out near redwood city. two mountain lion sites in the area in the past week. the most recent last night. last week someone spotted a lion not far away. police are advising people in the neighborhood to avoid hiking or jogging when the big cats are most active. >> 6:36. we are learning more about the criminal background of the man accused of engaging in that

locations of those dispensaries, richmond right now may have as many as 10 but the city has no permit system no those businesses and they are trying to close them down. >> 6:38 is the time right now. we want to go back over to sal. hopefully good news in santa rosa and you are starting in east bay. >> that's right. we are starting in east bay. yes, we will update santa rosa, too, because we want to let you know that they have cleared that accident but first for the east shore freeway westbound 80 traffic is moving well. by the way, i love to hear from you if you are effected by ac transit as we have been talking about, if your bus has not come go to ktvu.com and drop me a line. i would love to hear from you and want to see how widespread this ac transit outage may be if it is at all, so we are happy to help you out, we will pass along the information. let's take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza westbound traffic does move well. they have turned on the lights.

[trumpet playing "reveille" throughou reviving the economy means reinventing the way we do business. here's to the owners showing us the way. [trumpet playing "reveille" fades to silence

good morning. here is a quick look at some of the top stories. firefighters are investigating three suspicious fires near the uc berkeley campus since last night. they want to know if they are linked to a string of earlier arsons in that same area that began on friday. most involve trash cans and there is very little damage. the government says the oil now seeping into the gulf of mexico from bp's ruptured oil well is insignificant. the cap on that aisle well remains shut for now. president obama is pushing the u.s. senate to approve an extension to unemployment benefits and today it appears democrats will be able to overcome a republican filibuster and get that measure passed. police just released new information about their investigation into some overnight car fires.

let's get right to kraig debro, what have you been able to find out? >> reporter: i just talked to police and what i have learned is they still believe pot are suspicious but they are also saying now that both vehicles are stolen, which is a good indication that it is not connected to any of these other fires we had in this area since october 31st. fire crews got the second of two calls around 2:58 this morning. when they responded to the intersection crews spotted an suv on fire. it was out within minutes. they called out police, which is standard operating procedure. 12 minutes earlier firefighters arrived at another location. this is the scene of the first overnight fire. like the first fire investigators believe this vehicle fire started inside the cabin and not under the hood where an electrical malfunction could explain the cause. police told me this morning that if one of the vehicles is registered out of san rafael, that vehicle had not been

reported stolen but that is only because the owner had no idea it was missing. police did for the say what city the other vehicle was registered out of but confirmed it, too, was stolen. the fires are considered suspicious because thieves sometime abandon them and set them on fire. that appears to be the case in both these fires. >> the number of cases of whooping cough has jumped 500% so far this year. there were slightly fewer than 1500 infections reported as of last week, compared to just 300 last year. doctors say most children need to be vaccinated and many adults may need booster shots. five babies hey died from it so far this year. >> sal, we have had big problems today. >> that's right, we have been

following all angles of the commute. let's start off with the north bay and the golden gate bridge and southbound 101 traffic moves well through marin county and down to the toll plaza. also this morning looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. that traffic is not all that bad for this time of the morning. it should be busier, which means we are getting a break there. if you are driving in san jose northbound 101 is beginning to slow down on the way up to 880. you are looking at what could be the -- an accident or stalled vehicle there. i am looking on my list. i don't see anything but that doesn't mean nothing is there. 6:48. hello, mark tamayo. >> good morning to you. the fog is back to cool off a good portion of the bay area. yesterday we had clear skies but look at the overcast making a come back. san jose 50s on track to reach med 70s this afternoon. so more fog this morning cooling everywhere but especially for the inland
