new details in the death of osama bin laden. the clues found at his hideout that may turn the tide in the war on terror. pg&e is venting a gas line today. the reason why it concerns residents this morning. are you familiar with that? have you heard about it? [ audio problems ] well, good morning to you. welcome to tuesday. it's may 3rd. i'm dave clark. >> good morning. i'm pam cook. let's start with steve paulson and a look at the weather. good morning, steve. good morning, pam and dave. we have some patchy fog out there. not widespread. but it's around the marin coast, san francisco, little bit over the bay and also on

san mateo coast. it will lose out to a north wind later on but we'll go from 60s to mid-60s and some low 70s around the bay to upper 70s and low 80s inland. an update on your traffic now with sal. right now traffic moves well on the san mateo bridge. looks like a little morning fog that we've been talking about here. going tour a little tough for drivers getting over to the peninsula. also this morning we're looking at the bay ridge. it's light. 6:00 let's go back to the desk. we're learning more details this morning about the raid on that compound in pakistan where osama bin laden was killed. it was one of bin laden's personal couriers who unknowingly led the c.i.a. to bin laden's hiding place. and u.s. officials say president obama made the decision to launch a surgical attack on the compound with helicopters rather than a massive bombing raid. now take a look at this. president obama and his advisors were able to watch the whole 40 minute mission in realtime. they watched as c.i.a.

director on a video screen narrated from agency headquarters in virginia what was happening in pakistan. now these photos from the white house situation room they're waiting to hear a single word, geronimo. the code that bin laden was either captured or dead. >> the minutes passed like days. and the president was very concerned about the security of our personnel. >> navy seals found bin laden in this bedroom and shot him once in the head and once in the chest. we're getting a better look this morning at bin laden easter rest compound. this daylight amateur video shows the area outside. now inside the compound navy seals were able to confiscate hard drives and dvds. now the cia is hoping to find clues that could lead to bin laden's right hand man. despite that possible gain, the u.s. did lose a helicopter during the mission. you can see that wreckage in the video right there. time now 6:02.

the white house says it's weighing the pros and cons of releasing photographs of osama bin laden's body. right now there are reports that photos showing bin laden has a gunshot wound above the left eye. there are fears that releasing such a photo could insight osama bin laden's followers. however, some critics are questioning whether bin laden really is dead. they say the burial at sea adds to their doubts since there are no ways to verify the claim. we're also hearing about a warning that al qaeda has hidden a nuclear bomb in europe that they claimed would be set off if osama bin laden were ever captured or killed. reportedly that's what the master mind of the september 11 attacks told interrogators at guantanamo bay. that's according to to documents released by wikileaks. however, officials say many of his statements have proven to be unfounded. the discovery that osama bin laden had been living in a mansion in pakistan has some

people wondering if the government in pakistan knew he was there all the time. coming up at 6:15 we're going to have a live report from washington d.c. where some members of congress are now questioning the billions of dollars in aid that the u.s. gives to pakistan to fight terror. now we will continue to cover this story throughout the morning. we have more on the death of osama bin laden on our website as well ktvu.com. there's a special section that includes illustrations of bin laden's compound as well as more reaction from the families of 9/11 victims. just look for the osama bin laden tab on our home page again ktvu.com. time is now 6:04. the story we've been following in fact just over 30 minutes ago six louisiana boy scouts and two adult scout leaders were rescued from the arkansas wilderness. they were spotted overnight by a national guard helicopter. rescue operations then resumed when the sun came up this morning and all of those scouts were taken out of that area.

the boy scouts were expected back on sunday but they became trapped by rising waters in a heavily wooded area. time is now 6:04. back here at home pg&e says it will vent gas from one of its pipelines in mountain view today. the venting will take place along the pipeline that runs from the shoreline golf course past highway 101. ktvu's jade hernandez joining us live with why pg&e's releasing the gas in the first place. jade. >> reporter: that's right. gas line 132a is a small feeder line. and pg&e is testing it later today. first they'll release a gas inside of it and then they'll push high pressure water through it. that small feeder line meets a major line right here at shoreline boulevard and middlefield road. now if gas line 132 sounds familiar, it should. it's the same line which runs up the peninsula and exploded in san bruno last fall. a few weeks ago pg&e held a meeting. the utility alerted neighbors they would be testing the

pipeline today. the pipeline runs under businesses and homes from shoreline golf links to the middle school. pg&e says they still aren't too sure who will pay for the testing which is expected to cost as much as half a million dollars. this is what residents can expect to either hear or see today. you're looking at video provided by pg&e of high pressure water testing. gas inside 132a will be quickly released into the atmosphere. it should dissipate quickly. mountain view and antioch are the first cities to have their gas lines pressure tested in a round of testing following the san bruno disaster. 150 miles of pipeline in the bay area will eventually be tested. those with the concerns of a gas odor should call pg&e at the number on your screen 1-800- 743-5000. we've contacted pg&e this morning and we're expecting to hear from someone soon. reporting live from mountain view this morning, jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. there's word of an important closed door meeting at oakland's city hall today.

the chronicle reports that the city council will discuss possible legal sanctions against mayor jean quan's personal lawyer and advisor. dan seagal is a private attorney with no official ties to city hall. but critics charge that he's been overstepping his authority by getting involved in important issues effecting the oakland police department. the chauncey bailey murder trial continues today in oakland. yusuf bey iv both standing trial for the death of journalist chauncey bailey and two other men in 2007. yesterday a liquor store worker vandalized by bey but he refused to answer questions. he told the court he has memory loss. the prosecution believes he is fearing for his life. the federal appeals court in san francisco upheld alameda county's ban on gun shows on government property. it's a setback for gun show promoters.

the court ruled that the ban does not violate the sect amendment's promise of the right to keep and bear arms. the judges say that the ban does not prohibit gun shows altogether. only on government property. well, san jose's city manager's proposing severe staff cuts to deal with the city's $115 million deficit. that includes cutbacks in the police and fire departments. ktvu's kraig debro joins us now from san jose with reaction from police officers this morning. kraig. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, pam. we're at police headquarters. over here you can see some of the s.w.a.t. vans here. what we're hearing the people who man those vans would not be in the proposed cuts. those are supposed to come from supervisor positions. and positions that sack fiesed and saddened those are the words being used to react to the budget proposal. among the union's hardest hit as the mayor and council accept those proposal. one officer has taken his kids

out of day care to save their money and knows other officers who have lost their homes to mortgage crisis. recommends putting 10% -- rather cutting 10% of pay from eleven public employee unions. a published report says four unions have agreed and a fifth is a maybe. even if all unions agree the city would not be able to cover a projected $115 million budget deficit and up to 388 positions could be eliminated. here are some of the highlights from this budget. 195 police officers laid off and or not replaced. 64 firefighter positions laid off or outsourced. branch library services and hours get this reduced to just three days a week. i asked the san jose police officer if they had looked at any of the tactics oakland police officers tried to use last summer. 80 officers there were laid off last july because of the budget deficit. oakland had tried to offer the city a plan to accept pay cuts but then a guarantee that no more cuts or layoffs would take

place for three years. it was rejected. and those layoffs took place. reporting live in san jose, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. all right. time now 6:09. let's check in with sal. still feels light this morning on the roads. it does. i think it's just kind of a late wake up for the morning commute right now. we're looking at all the roads and it looks great here on the golden gate bridge. the caution light is up because they were reconfiguring the lanes. you'll see that caution lit up for a few more minutes. right now things doing okay on the golden gate bridge. looking at the east shore freeway and driving west a lot of people drive toward the bay bridge. no major problems although now there's word of a stalled motorcycle just reported west 80 at treasure island. looks like it's stalled in one of the right lanes. and this morning if you're driving on the nimitz freeway, hayward city and fremont that traffic is looking good. and across the bay burl gap at san mateo traffic is moving well on the bay shore freeway. 6:10. let's go to steve. all right, sal. thank you. looks like a roller coaster

ride here on the temps next three to fife five days. bring it back down on the weekend. today is transition day as we get rid of the fog. but it's there around the bay. patchy morning fog, little breezy, little cool inland. some 40s. little bite to the morning air. but by noon we'll get rid of most of that fog. sunny and breezy. 60s by the coast. upper 60s arnold the bay. low 70s inland and by the afternoon mid-60s to mid-70 coast and bay and low 80s inland. tomorrow's really the day we start to warm up. sunshine on the menu for everybody after we get rid of this morning fog and some of that can be rather sub stubborn for a while. the north wind already taking shape. fog doesn't have much of a chance when that happens. the wind is already starting to turn northwest. show you that in a second here. 43 chilly degrees santa rosa. a lot of 40s livermore at 46. san jose 49. san raphael 46. upper 40s fairfield and also san francisco. west-southwest fairfield 14 along with that upper 40. that's a cool morning.

calm now in napa airport. calm santa rosa. northwest northwest finally at sfo. so we've gone from west- southwest to northwest. that's ascend the north wind is beginning to get closer and closer. you can see it right there. that's a good ridge of high pressure. i wouldn't say average but it's moving in. that's going to give us warmer weather little bit today than more so tomorrow then thursday. tomorrow turning breezy. turning west-northwesterly. there's some fog around the bay. warm inland. 60s closer to the coast. 70s around the bay. upper 70s low 80s inland. temperature trend not much different than yesterday really. just the coastal areas had to deal with fog yesterday and the same today. gill roy 84. 78 santa clara. all around 80. the coast is tricky because the fog is there. mid-60s, low 60s and 70s on the peninsula. san francisco 68 at yesterday's 61. all dependent on that fog getting chewed up.

i think it will. looks very warm on wednesday into thursday. slight cool down friday as the fog comes back and then a big cool down on the weekend. keeping a promise. an update on how budget cuts will effect a pledge made to local school children. also questions this morning about what the government of pakistan knew about osama bin laden's whereabouts. we'll take you live to washington d.c. with the skepticism by some members of congress.

foreign relations committee hearing gets underway in about 40 minutes and i expect an earful from lawmakers irate about where osama bin laden was living. few here seem to believe pakistani security forces could not know the al qaeda leader was living for six years in a bustling military town near islamabad in a huge compound. and while president obama is emphasizing that pakistan remains an important u.s. partner against terrorism, even his top terrorism advisor is expressing new skepticism. >> i think it's inconceivable that bin laden did not have a support system in the country that allowed him to remain there for an extended period of time. >> reporter: pakistani officials are reiterating today they did not know about this compound. but relations are now more strained between the two countries. the president's budget provides $1.2 billion in assistance for pakistan. mostly for training counterinsurgency troops. but that is under new scrutiny

mission in realtime. many watched c.i.a. director on a video screen narrating from headquarters in virginia what was happening far away in pakistan. in these photographs here from the white house situation room you can see them they're waiting to hear one word, geronimo. that was the code word that osama bin laden was either captured or dead. >> i want to again recognize the heros who carried out this incredibly dangerous mission as well as all the military and counterterrorism professionals who made the mission possible. >> now president obama was given a standing ovation. look around the room there. this was a dinner for congressional leaders last night. the ovation from both democrats and republicans. the president says he's hoping the lawmakers can harness this current spirit of unity to take on the many challenges still ahead. we're also getting a better look this morning at osama bin

laden's terrorist compound. look at this daylight amateur video showing the outside area. inside the compound u.s. navy seals were able to confiscate hard drives as well as dvds. now the c.i.a. is hoping to find the clues that could lead them to bin laden's right hand man. now the united states did lose one of their helicopters during the mission. you can actually see it in the wreckage in this video. a new propaganda tape featuring osama bin laden could soon be made public. u.s. intelligence believes bin laden made a propaganda tape right before sunday's raid. now it's not clear if that tape is audio or video, but government leaders say the timing of this tape is coincidental and is not an indication that the terrorist leader knew about the secret raid. there are fears though that a new bin laden tape could be a call to action for other al qaeda members. president obama will visit ground zero and meet with 9/11 families on thursday. the visit comes after huge

pipeline is buried. now pipeline gas line 132a is a small feeder line which feeds right into a major pipeline right here at middlefield road and shoreline boulevard. we can show you this morning that meeting where that pipeline at this intersection is buried. gas line 132a as i mentioned is a small feeder line. pg&e will be testing it later today. if gas line 132 sounds familiar, it should. it's the same line which runs up the peninsula and exploded in san bruno last fall. a few weeks ago pg&e held a meeting. the utility alerted neighbors they would be testing the pipeline today. the pipeline runs under businesses and homes from shoreline golf links to the middle school. pg&e says they still aren't sure who will pay for the testing which is expected to cost as much as half a million dollars. this is what residents can expect to either hear or see today. you're looking at video provided by pg&e of high pressure water testing. the gas inside 132a will be

quickly released into the atmosphere. pg&e says it will dissipate quickly. then crews will push high pressure water through it. mountain view and antioch are the first cities to have their gas line pressure tested in a round of testing following the explosion. 150 miles of pipeline in the bay area will eventually be tested. those with the concerns of gas odor should call pg&e at the number on your screen 1-800-743- 5000. and we have contacted pg&e but we have not heard back from anyone just yet. reporting live from mountain view, jade hernandez, back to you in the studio. well, pg&e is doing damage control in response to a new problem with those controversial devices. the utility says it will replace 1600 smart meters. now that's due to a rare defect that causes the meters to run too fast and inflate customers' electric bills. the first time pg&e publicliage knowledged any type of problem with the smart meters but critics have been complaining

that they are inaccurate and can cause health problems. time now 6:36. man wanted in connection with homicide has been arrested. some pretty tense moments. look at this. police officers spotted the man around tenth and willow streets about 5:15. now you can see the police with their guns drawn they sealed off several blocks and went house to house searching for the man. here you see they found him. they arrested him nearly two hours later. police haven't told us yet which killing they believe he's connected to. san francisco's transportation agency meets today to discuss several new ways to raise money. kt's allie rasmus tells us why many cabbies will be showing up at that meeting. allie. >> reporter: well, pam, it has to do with the fees cab companies and cab drivers pay when their customers use credit cards. now san francisco's municipal transportation agency oversees the cab system. they have a meeting going on at 1:00 at city hall. cab drivers are circulating

these fliers. that plan on protesting that meeting at 12:30 in front of city hall today because they say the rates for the credit card fees are just too high. depending on how many cabbies participate in that demonstration, it could get tough to find a cab in san francisco around noon today. we spoke to one cab driver this morning who says those credit card fees cost him $100 to $200 a month. and he wants to know why drivers like him have to pay the price and take most of the burden when customers use their credit cards and not his cab company. >> we're all going to have to pay more. that's how it's going to effect us. but i don't think we can do anything about it. can't fight that many at hall. >> reporter: also today at the meeting at 1:00 the city's transportation agency will discuss and likely pass a series of fee increasing targeted towards drivers. the steepest hike for drivers who park illegally in a disabled driver parking spot. right now the fine for that is $335. but under the package it would go up to $935.

other fees on the table would increase the price of parking tickets and price of permits. sfmta says all of that money raised from the fees would go to support public transit and muni. one other thing that they're considering at this meeting today is the price of this sticker over here. this is a residential parking permit for san francisco residents. and sfmta will likely increase the price of that sticker that parking permits to $100. live in san francisco, allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2 news. all right. time now 6:39. sal's watching everything throughout the area. how's the south bay? well, we're starting there because all of a sudden 101 to the airport and getting to your job in the silicon valley getting busier. northbound 101 getting up to san jose. also this morning we're looking at the bay bridge westbound. you can see from the toll plaza up to the actual bridge itself it looks good coming into san francisco. contra costa county we already have slow traffic on highway 4
