there's big differences in the temperatures. the trifecta, 51. clear skies. right there. that will start to give some partly cloudies later on to the north bay. we're in between the weak system yesterday and the very strong low which is dropping in tomorrow. san francisco, 76 yesterday. not today. we'll go 68. i think some partly cloudy skies develop by this afternoon as well as that system gets a little bit closer. sunny, nice. it will be cooler today. if -- dash going for a couple of -- we're going for a couple of low 80s today. here's sal. we have traffic calming down a little bit. we had a rough start. things are getting a little bit better. the eastshore freeway is moderately heavy coming in from richmond, it's getting heavier by the minute as we get to the peak of the morning commute. looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. that's surprisingly light. it's lighter than it normally is at this time. we'll not quibble with that.

traffic looks good coming into san francisco with no major problems. i want to mention that once on the bridge, it looks all right. this is a look at the commute in san jose this commute here. a lot of road sensors are very slow. something surprise,ing, how cloe -- surprising how slow 87 traffic is. i think people are avoiding 280. 87 is not the answer. back to the desk. we begin with developing news from san francisco. police are investigating the suspicious death of a 7-month- old baby. ktvu's alex savidge joins us live from san francisco general hospital with the many questions surrounding this tragedy. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning. police say a woman brought her 7-month-old baby here to san francisco general hospital early this morning. it's unclear exactly what was wrong with that child but we do understand the baby died, was

pronounced dead at the hospital, just after midnight. as we watched police towing away a white car from the hospital parking, we understand that car is related to the case. it's unclear who the car belongs to. the baby arrived here at the hospital just about 12:30 or so this morning. the medical examiner was called out not long after that and investigators determined the death of this child was suspicious. police are only saying it's a 7- month-old baby. we don't know if it was a bay or a girl. the cause of death remains unclear. the detectives were here at the emergency room this morning. at the same time, police secured a louse on monterey boulevard just off 280 in san francisco. earlier this morning, crime scene tape was put up across the front entrance at that location and police say that scene is connected to the death of this baby. right now, homicide investigators are interviewing the baby's mother. they are also talking to other family members and trying to get a sense of what was going

on last night/early this morning, as this child was brought here to the hospital and they are trying to understand how this 7-month-old baby wound up dead. live in san francisco, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, alex. republicans, including john boehner, are talking about the government shutdown. this is the eighth day. no progress appears to have been made. these are some republican leaders who are speaking. let's listen in. >> that keep critical portions of the federal government open, nearly half of the federal government now, we have passed the bills in the house to open up the federal government and yet the senate refuses to act. that's not leadership. leadership is not -- leadership is -- when you say you are not gonna negotiate, that's not leadership or you say that they are just holding the united states hostage, that's not leadership. leadership is certainly not when you are not willing to

address the big issues, the major issues that face the country. we're lengthed to govern and -- elected to govern and make the decisions and they want to take the easy way out. that's not -- not acceptable to us or the american people. >> you are listening live. meanwhile, what's happening today, democrats controlling the senate plan to move quickly toward a vote to allow the government to borrow more money. the measure is expected to provide enough borrowing room to last beyond next year's election. we are expected to hit the debt ceiling on october 17th last week. it's not expected to include new spending cuts sought by the republicans. so that, of course, still remains to be scene how the government would deal with that pending deadline. and kyla campbell will have a live report at 7:15. how the shutdown is affecting marin county businesses.

table. the coolingoff period ends at 11:59 wednesday night. we spoke to one passenger who said the last strike strike hurt his family's livelihood. >> they shouldn't go on strike. it work on -- i work on the b.a.r.t. myself. i play music on the b.a.r.t. when they went on strike, no money was coming in. it was very hard for us to get by. >> reporter: by law, the unions don't have to give notice. they did say all options are on the table. while both sides have agreed on pension issues, there's till work to be on wages, pensions, healthcare issues. if the strike happens, b.a.r.t. will be using bus shuttles, as it did earlier this summer. tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. other agencies are getting ready to expand service if b.a.r.t. workers walk off the job. b.a.r.t. would strand 400,000 daily b.a.r.t. riders. commuters are urged to use

b.a.r.t. contract talks. you can get updates by going to ktvu.com. 7:10. a bill to help guns off the streets of oakland is now on governor brown's desk. if he signs it, oakland could be the only city in the state with the right to make its own rules governing gun licensing and registration. the bill was introduced by rob bonta. he says the legislation is not a cure for the city's gun violence but it will help to track guns. this bill is one of a dozen proposed gun laws in the governor's office. 7:11. expect more traffic on highway 101 after a new casino opens in rohnert park. "the press democrat" reports 40,000 more cars a day may clog highway 101 after the new resort and casino opens in november. that could cause backups from the rohnert park expressway all the way to petaluma. casino officials say the added

traffic is unlikely to cause big backups because traffic is gonna be spread out over the 24 hours the casino is open. 7:11. it could be san francisco's biggest eviction in 40 years. why as many as 300 people may be forced out of their homes. also, caught on camera, want to show you this. an armed robbery that went wrong for the robber in new york. the victim turned the tables and that suspect went running. good morning. we have a mess in downtown san jose. 87 northbound is very slow because of a crash downtown. we'll tell you what's going on and why it's so slow. the string of nice weather is about to come to an end. it will be okay. i think you will notice a change brewing for today and tomorrow. we'll have details -- coming up.

increase the government's borrowing limit by $1 trillion, giving it another credit until next year's congressional elections. due to procedure it may take one week to house the bill, giving the house a day or two to react on it. the house speaker says there's not enough to raise the debt ceiling. >> there's never been a president in the history that did not negotiate over the debt limit. never. not once. as a matter of fact, president obama negotiated with me over the debt limit in 201 1. >> reporter: right now we're taking a live look with house democrats. i'll going to check in on their latest reaction to the budget battle and have both sides for you. i'm working on that story for 8:15. live in washington, kyla campbell, ktvu channel 2 news. the faa is recalling 800 workers who had been on furlough. most of those faa employees oversee safety operations of

the major airlines. the rest keep an eye on production of aircraft and parts labeled "most critical." the airlines and workers inspect their own work but the federal inspectors provide a fresh pair of eyes. experts say the potential for a safety lapse increases without the benefit of the extra oversight. the government shutdown keeping tourists away from marin county. beaches along the point reyes national seashore and muir woods are closed because of the shutdown. that means fewer customers for the businesses like drake's oyster bay. >> here we go again. one more thing. >> the pelican inn, also seeing a lot of cancellations. just two of the inn's seven rooms were booked last night. a high school teacher in fremont has been arrested on suspicion of inappropriately touching a student. they arrested the 66-year-old

in the south bay. here at the bay bridge, we're getting a slowdown, weekend. it's about a 15, 20-minute delay which is better than normal. but still backed up, especially in the right lanes. if you are a fast track user, you are getting by better than most. the morning commute is getting more crowded. it's not stop and go. 580 traffic is also crowded beginning near the lakeshore curve. 87 northbound, downtown san jose at taylor. they are still clearing an injury crash. 280 is also a big mess and so is 85. one of the things that you can't do is use one as the alternate. if you are going a short distance, i would recommend side roads to avoid all of this. on the peninsula, southbound 101 near 92, there is word of a crash here. let's go back to the crash. we have new information on the asiana crash at sfo last summer. three people were killed. dozens more were hurt. ktvu's pam cook is in our newsroom now to tell us what

the pilots are saying now about that disaster. pam? >> well, the investigation continues into exactly what went wrong that sent the passenger jet slamming into the runway at sfo. this morning "the wall street journal" reports that the pilots have a different report of what happened than the preliminary findings. the paper said the pilots have said the problem with the jet's speed control system was a major factor in that deadly accident. so far, the ntsb says it's not uncovered any mechanical or electrical problems with the plane prior to impact. the agency says it is still focusing on why the pilots reportedly failed to check the air speed until it was too late. now, in our next hour of "mornings on 2," we have more of what the pilots are saying. more on what the data flight recorder shows in the public hearings that are now scheduled. reporting live in the newsroom, pam cook, ktvu channel 2 news. 7:33. we have new details from vallejo this morning about an

happening now -- a group of homeless people and their advocates are camped out in albany after being told they are about to be evicted from a park. brian flores is live to tell us what the city plans to do about this. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, tori. we've been on the corer in of solano -- corner of solano. earlier, there were 25 people that camped out here. but that number has dwindled to half of that. many of them spent a brisk night on the sleep -- on the streets, sleeping in tents and sleeping bags. city officials say they will remove the homeless off the property in order to begin plans for the park there. but since last night, many of the group, save the bulb, have camped out here to show what it would look like. to also show support for the 60 people that live along the shoreline park. many say the bulb should stay

as is because the homeless have created a community there. as they are forced to leave, they will spill out on the streets. >> at a time when there's such a critical housing need. two to replace that with the recreational park is really poorly timed. >> this is ongoing -- an ongoing situation that we're trying to find caring and compassionate solutions for. >> reporter: the group says there's a pending lawsuit filed against the city to try to keep the bulb as is. the plaintiffs say the city has not done enough to provide affordable housing. the city continues to work with the homeless to help them including bringing in the nonprofit berkeley housing. they've established a website to show what the homeless policies are. the officials are hoping to turn the bulb into a thriving recreational area. back out here live, the project has also gotten support from the city as well as the sierra

club. many say they will be leaving this morning. none of them were arrested or detained from last night. we're live here in albany, brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. affordable housing advocates are fighting plans for a mass eviction in san francisco. the san francisco examiner says as many as 300 people on market street are facing eviction because their units violate city code. the city says the units are illegal because the buildings are only zoned for commercial use and many units do not have windows. if tenants are forced to move, it would be one of the biggest evictions in san francisco since the 1970s. 7:37. later today, the oakland as will play the detroit tigers, game four of the a.l. series. the as won yesterday but look, sparks were flying on the field yesterday when the pitcher and victor martinez got in this argument. fred ingles is live in detroit this morning with more on that

very tense moment in the game and the challenge they face today. fred? >> reporter: hey, david. you know what? winning cures everything anyway, right? you know what? no one is really around here right now. starting time is 2:07 your time. it's a beautiful day here at comerica park. a great time for the as to clinch of a.l. and while it would be nice to do it a emwho, win -- at home, winning in front of a hostile crowd is always fun, too. not sure how many fans will show up. they were outnumbered yesterday. but they had a lot more fun and a lot more to cheer about than the tiger fans. things in detroit, sometimes that can be quite an ordeal. >> from san francisco to charlotte, all-nighter to -- what time? 6:00? 6:00 flight from charlotte to here. three-hour delay. it was raining in charlotte. >> reporter: you got here at

what time this morning? >> 10:00. >> reporter: i know they are waking up on the bats. they are gonna crush it tomorrow and we'll go to the a.l. series. we're going to win the world series. >> reporter: some of the offensive and defensive heroics was maybe overshadowed by this incident in the 9th inning when the as closer, grant belfour and victor martinez from the tigers had exlitive deleted -- expletive deleted exchange. four-letter words thrown at each other. nobody was ejected. i would say it was overshadowing some of the real important parts of this game. the game that the as won 6-3 yesterday. again this victory today would give them their first playoff series victory since 2006. it would be against the very team that eliminated them in

five games last year in the same a.l., the tigers who are very much slumping. dan straily will go against the tigers. 2:07 p.m., your time, to start. we'll have a lot more later in the news at 6:00, 7:00 and even the 10:00 news. reporting live in detroit, fred ingles, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, fred. and a local movie theater is getting into the spirit. coming up where you can watch game four in a rather unique setting. 7:40. later today, san carlos city leaders will go before the state public utilities commission, which oversees pg&e. they are gonna talk about growing safety concerns but a natural gas pipe that runs across the city. on friday, san carlos dlarred a state of emergency. they got a court order for pg&e to shut down the pipeline. san carlos sought the court

order after getting a copy of an internal e-mail. the engineer said he was concerned that the pipeline could cause an explosion like the disastrous explosion in san bruno three years ago. there's a clear connection between the pipeline that blew up in san bruno and the pipeline causing concern in san carlos. the "chronicle" said it uncovered pg&e documents that show in both peninsula cities, pg&e relied on used pipe when they made repairs back in the 1950s. the company according to the report resorted to using old pipe because of steel shortages dated from world war ii. 7:41. if you drive through the caldecott tunnel, you will see something new later this morning. according to the mercury news, caltrans will turn on new traffic lights in the third bore around 10:30 this morning. they will stay green for the next ten days while crews test ten new traffic signals in the

ton -- in the tunnel. no 72-hour notice for a strike. why they could still walk off the job on friday. and a new health alert about chicken. the outbreak linked to a california farm that's sickened hundreds of people and why there's no recall. good morning. 101 in san jose, looking at slow traffic throughout the south bay. this actually might be the best bet for you to -- for you to get in the valley. >> it will be nice. but there are changes upstream. we'll take a look at them and see when they arrive.

they've cleared the accident on 87 near taylor. but the traffic is already done. northbound 101 is very slow. i would say the santa clara valley unfortunately is the slowest traffic going this morning. let's go to steve. thank you, sir. sunrise over the big city. it's clear out there. cold for some. definitely a lot of 40s. low 40s. a few 30s. low, mid. if you are not there, you are pretty close, probably around 50, 51. clear skies now. although there are some clouds inching closer. beginning to move into mendocino county and start to work their way into the north bay. yesterday was another warm day but probably the last warm one for a while. everything is showing 60s and 70s over the next seven days. we'll see if that holds. snacks, 68 today -- san francisco, 68 today. palo alto from 83 to 77 today. san jose will trop as well from the 80s -- will drop as well from the 80s to 76. a little cool today. a lot of 40s not far away. start off with clear skies.

pattern especially as we head into wednesday. sunny and nice for a while. clouds to the north bay. late morning, early afternoon. cooler on the high temperatures. highs will be in the 70s for many or very, very low 80s. they may hit that for two, three minutes and start to back off. 70s across the board unless you are closer to the coast. tomorrow, though, cold and breezy. some partly to mostly cloudy skies. could be a few showers. we'll hold onto that breezy shower on thursday. then the days look good. the mornings will be cold. >> all right, steve. well, getting guns off the streets of oakland. a little bitting on the governor's desk right now. how this could give oakland authority that no other california city has. plus -- the personal information of thousands of patients at risk. the penalty a local hospital could face that's in connection with the latest security breach.
