on 580 coming out of san leandro, over to the lakeshore curve and there is a report of a stalled truck on the san mateo bridge. the traffic is at a standstill. i recommend the dumbarton bridge as an alternative. this is not moving quickly. they are aware of this. now, across the bay, southbound 101 in san mateo, there is a crash at highway 92. that traffic has been affected because the traffic is slow, i would say use 280 instead of 101 this morning, heading down the peninsula. i want to move the maps across the bay, southbound 880 is slow. and then in the santa clara valley, i think 101 is the worst freeway coming up to sunnyvale. let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. sunrise over the big city. fog on coast although it's moving more south to north. if you are thinking about jumping on twitter, there's been great weather information. i sent out a picture from space of the fog moving over the bay

earlier problems. nothing major but still slow traffic westbound 580 traffic is also very slow as you drive through oakland so give yourself a lot of extra time if you're trying to get to the bridge using the major freeways 880 or 580. san mateo bridge has also been very slow and over on the peninsula we have traffic problem on 101 through san mateox and it really has been terrible there, 280 is your best bet for sure definitely, as you move to the south bay northbound 101 is busy and so is 280 northbound 101 all the way up to the cupertino area and highway 87 is slow. remember san jose avenue, police activity a good area to avoid as well. let's go to steve. >> thank you, sir. a very good morning. fog increasing, most of it wants to seem to hang on by the coast but its made it up the sonoma coast, rather solid, inland not so much just patchy and that will burn off but it does look like a cooling trend, very warm eraloft after

in the firefighters but nearly the 3000 lives lost that day 9/11 but as firefighters and as police officers, we want to keep in the forefront this is a job where it's about saving lives, saving property if possible but also risking your own life to do so. >> this is one of those days where everybody remembers exactly where they were that day and it's still a day that just takes your breath away and i know firefighters that that day, they packed up and they took the team there and then we never even had a chance to grieve because that one plane was headed for san francisco so we started to prepare and this takes you right back to that day. >> the flag here and the 42 other san francisco fire stations will remain at half staff for the rest of the day. live in san francisco, tara moriarty ktvu channel 2 news. 8:48. earlier this morning, president obama and first lady michelle obama observed a moment of silence outside the white

exciting interview, pam? >> reporter: yes, we do. new season, new judges for the x factor but joining us this morning from los angeles is the seasoned and extremely well qualified judge, la reid, good morning to you. >> good morning, pam. how are you? >> i'm great. so you have personally launched many very successful careers, any additions, did you see the next one direction or justin bieber out there? >> you know, there's a possibility that we saw talent of that caliber, you know? we saw some really interesting ones and we have a lot of fun during the auditions but i have to really get into the mentoring process to really find out if we nailed it, if we really found those stars, but the auditions were great, very good. san francisco was amazing. >> can't wait to see that and speaking of mentoring, i know you have justin bieber as the mentor for your candidate, demi

lovato as a judge so you're certainly bringing in the disney younger crowd, i mean if you have justin bieber on anything my daughter is watching for sure. >> yeah, but the beauty of the show though, it has more to do with demi lovato and britney spears being a part of the panel and what they really bring to the show. that's what really excites me, you know. they're so funny i'm on my second season and i'm considered "seasoned." i'm actually brand new at this myself. i'm still trying to get my legs, you know? >> i know, but you've been sort of judging careers for a long time. now speaking of britney we're showing britney spears, first of all i thought she was going to maybe be too nice to be a judge but boy, i've seen some previews she's actually kind of mean and some people are worried that you never know what she might say. >> i don't find britney to be mean. i do think that she's very honest and forthright and very qualified, and you know, she's had a long career, a very long

career with many peaks and valleys and that makes her in my mind uniquely qualified to be a judge and, you know, the real key to it is really just being able to sort of articulate your feelings and your taste and stick to your guns and not being swayed by the other judges or by the crowd and i think the toughest thing is all of us have gotten boo'd by the crowd before and made decisions and i remember the first time they boo'd britney, i wanted to grab her and hold her because i felt her almost coming apart like oh, my god. >> she's not used to that. >> i'm sure she's never had that. >> probably not. >> so that was pretty funny. >> tell me, you know, we have american idol, we have of course the xfactor and the voice and americas got talent. there's a lot of shows out there at this point. we can handle all of this? what makes x factor stand out and are we saturated with this? >> well, yeah, there's a

saturation factor for sure but i think that the x factor judging panel is a very unique judging panel. i think the fact that we have britney spears and demi lovato and what they represent to the youth culture and superstardom as in simon cowell and myself and what we've done to mentor, discover and develop talent throughout the years, i think it makes us very very different kind of show with a different sort of taste level. we actually really do, we have people like one direction and we have artists like justin bieber and rhianna and people like that between simon and i that we've discovered and developed so we really do make stars. we really do. and we're not just entertainment. >> okay, we'll be watching, la reid, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much, pam. thank you. >> let's go back over to the studio. pam, you can watch the premier of the second season of
