opening the bell live there this morning. 6:30. looking live in new york. looks like we could have a mixed opening. hard to say right now. you can see on the lower part of your screen little up, little down. we did have some disappointing news coming in on the economy this morning. consumer spending way down in may. and a lot of that has to do with the high price of gas. a lot of us spending certainly more money on gas so we haveless money to spend elsewhere in the economy. it comes at the same time that incomes went up though.

so that means more people put some money into savings which is a little bit of good news this morning. we'll keep watching the numbers. we will smile and say good morning to you. thank you for joining us here on the ktvu morning news. i'm dave clark. good morning. i'm pam cook. time now 6:30. we have developing news. the los angeles dodgers just filed for bankruptcy protection. there's the team owner there. all this comes just a couple days before the dodgers are required to meet their payroll. and the dodgers owe plenty of people plenty of money. even players no longer on the team. the dodgers owe manny ramirez $20 million and he's retired. they have been under financial ruins under the new ownership of frank and his wife. at the same time frank is going through a messy costly divorce. our time is now 6:31. and right now giants fan bryan stow who is badly beaten remains in a coma at san francisco general hospital.

the man seen here in this dodgers jersey however is not the man los angeles police arrested for stow's beating. the person police did arrest is 31-year-old giovanni ramirez. ramirez's attorney has said repeatedly police have the wrong man and ramirez wasn't even at the stadium the day stow was beaten. los angeles police chief says he's confident that his officers have the right person that ramirez is one of the two people responsible for stow's beating. i checked in with los angeles police again just 15 minutes ago. i tried reaching him shortly after 5:00 this morning. talked to an officer who says as far as he knows investigators center not had a chance to get a copy of the video and view it closely yet. so fornow los angeles p. account is not able to comment on the new video. meantime here at san francisco general hospital bryan stow remains hospitalized. his condition upgraded last week from critical to stable. and according to spokesperson there's a possibility we could get an update on stow's condition some time this week. live in san francisco, allie

meetings set with republican and democratic senate leaders at the white house. thousands of homes are flooded in parts of north dakota as water levels hit record levels. jim spellman joins us now from minot where people are still trying to protect other homes from flooding. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning to you, pam. we'll start with the good news. this river has crested. it won't get any higher. so that's a bit of good news. and it's even started to recede a little bit. take a look at this. a neighbor came and put this line here on 9:20 local time. last night just about 12 hours ago so you can see already the water's pulled back about this far. but the bad news is look how much farther it has to go here. this is an ongoing disaster for sure. the national guard have been out here all day doing what they can to be sure people are safe. fortunately so far nobody has died or even been seriously injured in this disaster.

so that's certainly good news. and the people here of minot are going to need all the help they can get here. these waters are going to stay at record flood levels for at least a week and it's going to be months before they're really back on their feet here. pam. >> all right, jim. can you tell us anything about the weather right now? are they expecting anymore rain or is it clear for a while? >> reporter: it's been a really mixed up weather system here for the last few days with some pregnancy severe heavy storms and even hail in the afternoon. it hasn't been enough to really impact the flow levels but i can tell you it certainly has impacted people's psychology here. two days ago tornado warnings sirens went off. turned out there wasn't a tornado but that was with everybody already evacuated it certainly not helping people's psyche to have to go through stuff like that. >> my gosh. severe weather. that's jim spellman in minot, north dakota. the pictures just unbelievable. thank you for that update.
