you are looking live at the scene of a horrible crash on interstate 580 in castro valley. police say one person is dead, three others hospitalized. ktvu's brian flores is there and talking with police about what led up to the deadly crash as sal is looking at the best ways to get around the traffic jam this is causing. good morning, welcome to "mornings on 2". it's friday, january 23rd, 7:00, i'm tori campbell. >> good morning, tori. good morning, i'm dave clark. let's also talk about your weather and traffic. let's go right to steve paulson with your forecast. >> getting warmer slowly. tomorrow. >> getting warmer. >> yeah.

yesterday was cold with that fog and that east wind. we still have some fog, the east wind has kind of died down to more of a puff or just a breeze. but some fog, high clouds, cold for many, 30s yet the higher elevations are in the 50s already and that's a sign that high pressure is building in and we'll get more warmer air. the warmest air arrives i think on sunday. we'll gradually rebound today. there's some fog to keep a cap on things with the 30s, but the higher clouds are moving out and the storm track is going way up and over. so once we get rid of the fog, a lot 30s, though. take your pick. the warmest, though, half moon bay with a north wind, it's 57 balmy degrees. that's 10 warmer than sfo and 20 warmer than fairfield. but there's plenty of 30s around, including woodside, menlo park, palo alto, las altos hills and higher elevations low 50s. foster city at 40 degrees. up and over she goes, high pressure is on the way. but today is a transition day, even though we do have mostly sunny skies today, it will be a little bit warmer. look for highs mostly in the 60s today, but by the weekend temperatures will really take a

jump up. we'll have more on that in about 10 minutes. now sal who's been a busy man unfortunately this morning. >>reporter: that's right, steve. we have that tough situation to deal with this morning right from the beginning of the show. one person is dead and at least three more injured after a rollover crash on eastbound interstate 580 near castro valley. ktvu channel 2 reporter brian flores is live near the scene. they're preparing to reopen the road, brian. it's not open yesterday, obviously. >>reporter: no, it's not, sal. it's still going to be about 25 minutes or so until all lanes are going to be reopened here. but as you mentioned we are ear eastbound 580 -- here eastbound 580 just east of 104. if you are heading this direction, you know the traffic from 150th onward, this is the reason why. i'm going to step aside. this is the latest from the scene. as you can see chp remains on here, a tow truck here, also towing away one of the cars involved, but this is -- this not off to a good start this morning for all the traffic -- for some traffic here, this is one of the major traffic spots

that is being affected this morning. it's going to be, again, about 25 minutes or so until all lanes are back open. want to go to some video now of the scene earlier. according to chp this happened at about 4:20 this morning. a four-door sedan carrying a driver and two other passengers was on the freeway, again, eastbound 580 when the car somehow overturn on the center divide. it was then partially blocking the fast lane according to the chp, and then moments later the driver of a honda pilot suv, also headed in the same direction t-boned that sedan. the sedan then burst into flames. now when crews arrived, one woman, it's unclear whether she was a passenger or a driver, she was killed. two other passengers and the driver of the honda pilot were taken to eden medical center for injuries. >> that vehicle left the roadway and subsequently overturned into the center divide. at a later point in time, a second vehicle, a gray honda pilot struck that vehicle, causing the overturned vehicle

to -- be engulfed in flames. >>reporter: still lots of unanswered questions when it comes to the scene. we're still trying to figure out if that sedan had some type of mechanical problems that cause it to overturn on 580. it's also unclear whether drugs or alcohol or speed were involved in this. chp continuing their investigation this morning. back out here live, this is changing as we speak. they just towed away the honda pilot. they also towed away that sedan, it's off to the right shoulder now, so it could be moments or minutes from now until eastbound 580 reopens this morning. the good news, again, is that this was the non-typical commute direction. in fact, hold on for one second. excuse me, we're outta here? >> yeah. we're opening up right now. >>reporter: they're going to be opening up lanes in just a few minutes from now, so we'll get clear of the scene, again, eastbound 580 just east of 164th. traffic currently being diverted but just minutes from now all lanes are going to be open in just a few minutes. but, sal, we are not off to a good start, as i mentioned for

the friday morning commute. >>reporter: no, absolutely not, brian. thank you for your report. we do have an alternate for you. i'm going to put up a map to show you around here -- if you drive on 580 eastbound, you can get off at 164 and go down to east 14th, and then rejoin 238 to 580. but if you're just at home, you might either want to wait because you heard them saying they're going to reopen the lanes or you might want to take 880 to 238 and make it easy for yourself. at this point they're moving everything off and the lanes should reopen in just a few moments. let me move the maps here because i want to show 580 now, 580 westbound through livermore to pleasantton, not that bad and to the sanol graib and pleasantton through that whole stretch not that bad at all. let's 2 to the live pictures now, babe ranch seems lighter than usual and backed up for a 15 to 20-minute wait at the toll plaza. san jose northbound toohey right through downtown, a quiet commute. we haven't had much going on. a a minor accident 101

northbound in sunnyvale. it has not cause a lot of slow traffic. 7:05. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. a berkeley high school student was arrested yesterday, another was sent to the hospital after a big fight near the campus. around 2:00 yesterday afternoon police received several calls about a fight on shaddick avenue near alston way. when officers arrived, they found about 20 students and several fights happening at the same time. a 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of battery. the student taken to the hospital has minor injuries. police are investigating what start the fight. and this is not the first time berkeley high school students have been arrest for fighting. this is video from may of last year when students from berkeley high, berkeley tech and oakland tech converged on shaddock avenue. several fights broke out and three people were arrest. and then in october 15 berkeley high school students were suspended during a mob scene involving about 500 students. one teacher was injured during

that incident. the fbi and san francisco police are searching for a man connected to at least seven recent bank robberies. police say these are photos of the suspect from bank surveillance cameras. investigators say the robber has used a fake mustache, a black trench coat, a dark colored fedora and sometimes a fake beard to disguise himself. he's described as a white man in his 30s or 40s between 5'7" and 5'9" tall with a very thin build and pale skin. the seven robberies have occurred across san francisco. the first was last october, the most recent just last week. if you have any information, you're asked to call the fbi. time is 7:07. dream works animation, they're cutting jobs and the bay area office is really getting hit hard. the company best known tore "select select and "how to -- for "shrek." what's going to happen to the people who work there? >>reporter: hey, dave. yes, well, there are going to

be layoffs. dream works pdi facility here on seaport boulevard is reportedly closing its doors. we spoke to an employee earlier this morning who expressed disappointment and also did mention how at least so far this morning he's seen less people come into the building. numerous media outlets are reporting that the dream works building on seaport boulevard just off of highway 101 is shutting down. inside the building you can see it's decorated with animated characters from its films. the company is scaling back as part of a restructuring move that includes laying off about 20% of its work force, that's 500 jobs. most of its workers are in redwood city and it's main studio in glendale, california. dream works is best known for producing the movie "shrek," "madagascar," and "kung fu panda." the films underperformed at the box office. they say making three films a year was just too ambitious and instead dream works will focus on making two a year. dream works does have one movie

coming out later this year. it is called "home" and about an alien race looking for a new home and they choose earth where one of aliens befriends a girl. that hits theaters in late march. dream works employees at the redwood city office will reportedly be offered positions in glendale down in southern california. back to you. >> janine, what a story. thank you. time now 7:09. happening now a high surf advisory for the whole bay area coastline. beaches from sonoma to monterey county are at risk for those dangerous sneaker waves. the waves could be 15 feet high, all because of a storm system developing in the pacific ocean. if you're heading for the beach, be very, very careful. if you get in the water or walk on the beach, that high surf warning in effect until sunday. ss 7:09 now. some developing news on the two japanese hostages being held by isis. wewe are learning a new video has been posted online with a countdown clock and graphic pictures of other hostages who

have been beheaded. the mother of one hostage is pleading for his release. she says her son who is a journalist went to syria to try and free his friends who have been captured by the islamic state. the group said it would behead the two men today if japan did not pay $200 million. japanese leaders reportedly told the men's families japan will not pay the ransom. all right, tori, time is 7:10. beyond threats from isis, there's been major, major developments in the middle east. up next we'll show you how middle east problems ranging from terrorism to the death of saudi arabia's king could affect us here right in the u.s. also a push for an expanded investigation into a deadly police shooting that was caught on a new jersey officer's dashcam. why the officer says he actually recognized the man who he shot and killed. >>reporter: we're looking at a commute that is finally beginning to recover after a really bad start. this is 237 westbound. you see a little slowing there

on your way to sunnyvale. it was cold yesterday for some, very cold, never escaped the 50s. today does look warmer even though we start off with fog. it's going to get really warm in the weekend. more on that.

time is 7:13. the san francisco police department is reeling from a verdict in the police corruption trial involving two of its officers. it's the latest chapter in a case that saw two other officers convicted last month. yesterday a federal jury convicted officer arshad razzic of charges that include violating a tenant's civil rights by illegally searching a room and falsifying records. richard iak, the other officer involved in the trial was acquitted. the case start four years ago. san francisco public defender jeff adachi publicized surveillance videos from the

tape and shows plain-clothessed officers conducting searches at a residential hotel without warrants. >> we all have to abide by the constitution, even police officers. >> officer razick's attorney said "i'm obviously disappointed. there were mounlds of doubt in the government's case. " rassick is set to be sentenced april 28th. iak will be reinstated. the reverend al sharpton's civil rights organization are the latest to call for a new jersey state investigation into the killing of a man by two police officers during a traffic stop in new jersey. now, the police dashcam capture the entire incident. that video was at least a couple of days ago. two police officers pulled a man over for running a stop sign december 30th. one of the officers yelled to his partner after he saw a firearm in the car. they repeatedly told the passenger in the car show his hands but he ignored the demands. he then got out of the car and

started raising his hands to his shoulder's height. that's when the police officer opened fire and killed him. the officer who shot him says he recognized the man from previous arrests. the 36-year-old man had served a prison sentence for shooting at state troopers when he was a teenager. prosecutors and the new jersey attorney general are making no comment on this shooting. 7:15. thousands have gathered in the capital of saudi arabia today paying last respects to king abdullah. this is new video of the king's funeral procession this morning. the king died earlier today at the age of 90 after a battle of pneumonia. saudi arabia quickly appointmented abdullah's 79- year-old brother to the thrown. king abdullah had been in power for almost two decades and was an american ally. the new king says he will continue saudi arabia's current policies. president obama is offering his condolences and sympathies to the people of saudi arabia. in a statement he said "i

always valued king abdullah's perspective and appreciated our genuine and warm friendship." meanwhile saudi arabia's southern neighbors, the country of yemen is falling deeper into political uncertainty. yemen's president and cabinet resigned after a rebel group took over that country's capital, including the presidential palace. the resignation comes just days after the government agreed to a power-sharing deal that would send the rebel's control over yemen. tori, these two major developments could threaten u.s. interests in the middle east. our reporter doug luzader joins us live from washington d.c. with more potential impact on gas prices and the fight against terrorists. doug. >>reporter: dave, good morning. and at first these seems like disconnect events taking place in both saudi arabia and yemen, both, though, are troubling the to united states and both may represent real opportunities for iran. [ speaking foreign language."

>>reporter: in saudi arabia the death of king abdullah sets off a transition in what has long been a stalwart u.s. ally in the middle east and in yes, ma'am eb the collapse of of the government there threatens u.s. counterterrorism efforts in what has become an al-qaida hotbed. >> what we're seeing across the middle east is a dissent into chaos, crisis in country after country is now spreading across the entire region. >>reporter: the saudi government has a transition plan in place, but even the potential of uncertainty has caused oil prices to edge up overnight. the fall of yemen's government may be even more troubling because the rebel group that pushed out the leadership there may give iran greater influence in the region. the state department has still been trying to get a read on what's really happening on the ground there. >> we're continuing to encouraging and support a peaceful transition. obviously we're not in a position, i don't think any of you are either to assess what it means at this point in time. >>reporter: but for the u.s. is already means a partial evacuation of the embassy there

and the u.s. drone program to take out terrorist targets in yemen could now be in peril. and it came just as president obama spoke of the importance of drone strikes during a series of unusual interviews at the white house yesterday with youtube celebrity. >> the sort of damage that may have taken place with a drone strike is always significantly less than if i ordered a raid into a village where a high value of terrorist target was. >>reporter: yemen is concerned. the state department put out a memo today saying it's very troubled about what happened there. the timing here is kind of awkward because the administration has long kind of held up yemen as an example of a successful policy in dealing with terror. now there's a real question as to whether the drone campaign, for instance, can continue there. dave and tori. >> reporter doug luzader, doug, thank you. >> very interesting. 7:18 is the time. we'll check in with sal. boy, you've been busy for a friday morning, sal. >>reporter: that's right.

unfortunately we started off on a bad way. eastbound 580 was closed at 64th there, just reopening the lanes now. so if you're at home, i would just wait another 10, 15 minutes to be on the safe side. but i'm reading right off the screen here that said just moments away from all lanes reopening eastbound 580 on the way to castro valley out of san leandro and oakland. i want to talk about some other things, though. the bay bridge is backed up for a 20 to 25-minute wait. getting into san francisco traffic on the span looks good once you get there. also looking at the commute in san jose, northbound 101 slow right from 280 and that looks kind of normal. but the other freeways are looking good, 85 and 280 are a little bit lighter than usual. we have a live picture of 280 from downtown san jose, and you can see -- i think we have it here -- northbound 280 on the right which is there looks very nice. so the santa clara valley is getting a bump here in better than usual traffic -- well, friday light is what we call it around here. 7:19. let's go to steve. >> all right, sal, thank you,

sir. we do have some fog out there, santa rosa, napa, concord, livermore flirting with some fog here, talking about that this morning. but the higher clouds look like they've moved off. still some patchy fog, nothing compared to yesterday. that fog stuck around for a while, until noon for some or even longer and you threw in an east breeze behind that, it was a cold one. it's also a dry start. i'll tell ya, if we do not get some rain next tuesday and wednesday, and that looks very if-y and weak, we may go the entire month without any rain in san francisco. there's been some rain in santa rosa, but hardly any. san francisco is what i'm focusing on. that would be the dryest january ever, dryer than last year which was.06 only. there's never been a january in san francisco without any rain and this may be the first. a warm weekend is on tap. sunday looks to be the warmest. we'll start a little bit today, but more so on saturday. all-time january records, oakland 78, sfo 73, gilroy 80 and sacramento 79. when were those set? last year, last year, last year, last year. here we are one year later maybe trying to break a record

for a january all-time high without any rain. crazy. the higher clouds moving off, the fog is still there, but not as much as we had yesterday. it'll be confine to the valley. temperatures are cold this morning for many. lower 30s. half moon bay is 59 balmy degrees with a north wind and there is a little bit of an easterly breeze in place for some. higher elevations are warming up. we get around 1,700, 2000 feet they're in the 50s, yet lower elevations 30s and 40s. that warm air aloft is a sure sign high pressure is building in from here. as it noses in, there may be an all-time record -- it's called the oakland sounding. they take measurements of the atmosphere. it's never been 20 degrees celsius at 5,000 feet, never. that's a possibility by sunday it'll be that warm. so if it's 68 at 5,000 feet, it's going to be really warm for some at the surface. already these higher clouds are clearing out. so mostly sunny friday and a little warmer, but yesterday was so cool, we'll rebound today, temperatures warming up, but the weekend does look very warm, even though the nights will probably be on the chilly

to cold side because it'll be clear. morning clouds will give way to afternoon sunshine. 60s on the temps. might be a little bit of a slow recovery for some still off to the east, but by the coast it's going to be sunny and warmer, and then it looks really warm as we go into the weekend. i think just clouds and nothing else early next week, but way above average this weekend for the coast. >> big concerns about travel plans for this weekend? >> northeast. big system going in there, a lot of snow. >> that's right. >> the tri-state area like four to eight inches of snow. >> wow! >> all right, steve, thank you. time is 7:22. a man has been arrested in a serial murder case, and coming up in 20 minutes why authorities say they think he's responsible for terrorizing the peninsula back in the 1970s. new england patriots quarterback tom brady speaks out about the scandal involving underinflated footballs. up next the star quarterback who he thinks brady is lying.

7:24. southwest airlines says it's saving big on fuel, but that does not mean tickets are cheaper. southwest expects to save more than a billion and a half dollars this year, thanks to lower fuel costs. southwest and other airlines are taking the money they say from fuel -- they save from fuel and spending it on infrastructure improvements. southwest had record profits last year. time is 7:25. a hall of fame quarterback doesn't believe tom brady of the new england patriots. he doesn't think he's telling the truth about deflate-gate. tom brady, a san mateo native held this news conference yesterday, said he didn't know anything about underinflated footballs in last sunday's afc championship game. reporters grilled brady about whether he told ball boys to deliberately deflate footballs so he would have a better grip. >> i don't believe so. i mean, i feel like i've always played within the rules. i would never do anything to break the rules. >> it's obvious that tom brady

had something to do with this or the balls to have been deflated, that doesn't happen unless the quarterback wants that to happen, i can assure you of that. >> that's former dallas cowboys quarterback troy aikman. he says quarterbacks tell ball boys all the time how much air they want in the football. fox sports is reporting the nfl was tipped off about the underinflated footballs and always intended to test them at half time. most of the footballs were at least 16% flatter than the nfl allows. now, a couple of indianapolis radio deejays are having a little fun at tom brady's expense. they've been asking their listeners drop off partially inflated toys at the station. the toys will now be sent to the new england patriots. the deejays are hoping their prank will raise the spirits of the indianapolis colts fans who were disappointed after losing to the patriots. >> the late night comedy shows having a field day. it is 7:26.

the american gaming association predicts americans will illegally bet $3.8 billion on the super bowl. this it dwarfs, though, the amount of legal betting. nevada casinos expected to take in $120 million in wagers. many illegal bets come in the form of office pools. before you plunk down $5 on a pool, know you could be slapped with a fine. some states specifically allow office pools but not california. and while it's doubtful anyone will be prosecuted, a state statute says if you participate in a pool with at least a $2,500 pot, you are subject to a $250 fine. 7:27. a big protest at bart headquarters. [ chanting ] >> coming up in 20 minutes what demonstrators want from bart and how police handled this situation. police get ready to move in on a suspect after a 13-hour

standoff. we'll tell you the new information we've learned about what led up to this incident. >>reporter: good morning. right now traffic is going to be a little bit busier than normal in some areas, but not too bad here on 280. a little slowing at 17 and then it's off to cupertino with little or no delays. still a little bit of fog out there, but nothing compared to 24 hours ago. it's all a sign high pressure is building in and what looks to be a rather warm, maybe record-setting warm weekend.

7:30 and you're looking live at a tense situation in san francisco's ingleside neighborhood. a police standoff that's been going on for more than 13 hours. up next ktvu's tara moriarty has been out there all morning. coming up she will tell you what police are telling her about the people barricaded in the home. welcome back to "mornings on 2". i'm tori campbell. >> tense time there, tori. time is 7 7:31. i'm dave clark. let's talk weather and traffic now. it's still nippy outside. >> it's cold, 30s out there. some fog, but not a lot. yesterday was very foggy and it stayed that way for many, tough to get out of the 50s. today, though, that fog is going to burn off a little sooner. most of the higher clouds look like they have already moved off. so cold for some to down right warm for a few. that would be over by the coast.

hazy sunshine, a little bit warmer here. these are some of the forecasted highs. these -- again, this will mainly be a coastal event, santa construction to capatol looks to be the warmest. upper 60s to low 70s. possibility of record highs more likely on sunday and maybe some all-time record high january temps as well heading into sunday. today we start off with a little bit of fog. but everything else is riding up and over the ridge of high pressure which is bringing 30s. half moon bay, though, 59. some of the higher elevations, you get up above 1,700 feet and 58 degrees. warm aaloft, 30s for lakeport, low 40s, but everything is pointing towards a warmup even though it's darned cold as we say for some this morning. morning fog, a few clouds, but overall lots of sunshine this afternoon. it will warm up quicker, but i think tomorrow is a bigger day on that warmup today. today is a transition day. sal, would would you like to start, my friend? >>reporter: well, we're going to start this time on the golden gate bridge. one of my friends just actually texted me about this very

subject, and people are on the golden gate bridge reportedly driving faster because of this new center divide. we've had it on as a story here. i heard it all over the place yesterday. and during the commute hour, that's not so much the case. i think that this happens when the bridge is wide open because there is less of a fear of a head-on collision. that's really not good thinking says the chp. they say driving on the bridge is still dangerous, driving too fast on the bridge is still too dangerous and they're out there tickets people who drive more than 45 miles an hour. so just beware. don't get a ticket. that would stink. westbound 80 at the bay bridge toll plaza as you come up from the macarthur maze to the toll plaza, about a 20-minute delay. no major problems getting onto that bridge. 580 finally has opened, all the lanes near 238 westbound was never an issue, really. still unwinding a little bit of traffic there. 580 through livermore and dublin looks good. 7:33. let's go back to the desk. >> sal, thank you. developing news for you in

san francisco. police tactical teams, they're in position now outside of a home near the san francisco state campus. a man has been barricaded since 6:00 last night. ktvu's tara moriarty is out there. you've been out there for several hours with the latest on the efforts to get the suspect to surrender. tara. >>reporter: yeah, we've just learned some new information and that is the suspect who holed himself up in the home has psychiatric issues and he had had an argument with his mother. now just behind me there are some patrol cars that just pulled up. we understand that they're sort of in this holding pattern. they're waiting for the district captain to arrive to take over the scene here. but they want to try to get inside of the home that you see the pink one, that's where the man is barricaded. and negotiators are trying to make some headway to get the situation resolved.

[ indiscernable ] >>reporter: talks last night were unsuccessful. police broke a window when they tossed a phone into the suspect's house to try to start the negotiation process. just a couple of minutes ago we saw them draw their guns and now that we're out in the daylight things are a little bit easier to see. the standoff has been going on now for almost 13 hours, almost 14, actually. we're on ashton and grasston avenues where police got a call around 6:00 last night regarding this heated argument. the situation escalated and ended with the suspect barricading himself inside. >> it was just a flood of cops. this was probably -- i think i counted 20 cop cars on ashton avenue alone just up and down and i was on the one block. it was probably within another hour or two and there were s.w.a.t trucks and they were yelling at the guy trying to get him to come ouz. >>reporter: now, we've learned from sources in the police department that the mother did make it out safely last night. we're not sure if the suspect is armed. no evacuations of nearby homes

have been necessary, but muni buses that use garfield street that turns into grafton, they have been rerouted. back here live, you can see they are gearing up here, so we should be seeing some movement, hopefully getting this situation resolved within the next half hour to hour or so. live in san francisco, i'm tara moriarty, back to you. >> thank you, tara. time now 7:36. protesters packed last night's board meeting in oakland, demanding all charges be dropped against the people arrested in november during a demonstration in west oakland. [ chanting ] >> more than 100 people jam into the meeting room for the board meeting. they say the 14 people arrest the day after thanksgiving for shutting down train service in west oakland, they were simply exercising their constitutional right to free speech. those people face misdemeanor charges as well as possible fines. >> many people were inconvenienced by the montgomery bus boycots.

do you think rosa parks should have paid restitution for that? >> alameda county prosecutors, they will decide if charges will be filed, however, one board member says she'll introduce a resolution calling for the charges to be dropped. the board is expected to debate this at the next board meeting. 7:37. the current measles outbreak in california is putting a tension on vaccines and the children whose parents decide not to get them. marin county has one of the highest rates of unvaccinate children in the bay area. health officials there say they feel lucky there has not yet been an outbreak in that area. some people are wary of the vaccine and its possible side effects, but health officials say vaccines are much safer than the diseases they prevent and protect vulnerable infants. >> i hope that we'll never have a case of measles in marin county. we're fortunate that we haven't yet had a case, but we're relying on luck at this point. >> this is a map showing the rates of vaccinations in the

bay area, the darker the color, the higher the number of people who have been vaccinated. the public health officer for marin county says vaccination rates are increasing, but still not enough to protect against an outbreak right now. a 5-year-old girl in nevada has died from the flu despite getting the flu shot. the little girl's family says she suddenly got sick over the weekend. she was given medicine at a walk-in clinic early monday morning but got worse and collapsed later that day. now, her classmates are remembering her by placing a stuffed animal in her seat and leaving her name tag just as she left it. >> she was full of life. i mean, she was excited about everything, and the first to come up and give me a hug. >> the little girl's family says she got a flu shot but health officials say this year's shot is not as good at protecting people like the flu like previous years. health officials are ramping up for even more flu cases in the coming months. the first batch of an

experimental vaccine against ebola is on its way to liberia. the shipment will be the first potentially preventative medicine to reach one of the hardest-hit countries. a plane carrying 300 initial doses of the vaccine is expected to arrive in liberia today. healthcare workers helping ebola patients will be among the first to receive it. researchers hope to eventually enroll up to 30,000 people in the trial. time is now 7:39. we're getting an idea of some of the products apple will be working on in the future. now, apple patented more than 2,000 inventions last year and among them a computer mouse that can also be used as a scanner. they also file patents for a water-proof coating for tech gadgets and a smart phone, one that can rotate in mid air to avoid landing on its glass surface in case you drop it. now, these patents don't necessarily mean they'll actually be developed and sold anytime soon, but it does give apple exclusive rights to use

the invention for a period of time. u.c. president janet napolitano and governor jerry brown may soon decide whether students will pay higher tuitions. the board of regents gave its approval for the two of them to form a two-person committee, looking into possible tuition hikes. napolitano says a tuition hike is needed if lawmakers don't increase funding. however, the governor says the u.c. system should look for new ways to cut their costs. lieutenant governor gavin newsom says he's confident they will work out an agreement. >> that's a good thing at least to assert a public stance of collaboration and trust because right now you have mistrust, a lack of collaboration. everyone's got their own set of facts. >> the regents also tabled another proposal, one that would link bonuses for u.c. athletic coaches to how well their players do in class. 7:40 this morning. at the white house president obama is meeting with mayors from across the country. about 20 minutes ago san

tweeted me a nice picture from santa cruz. he says i'd rather have rain, but i guess i'll suffer to what could be near 80-degree temps this weekend in santa cruz. i'll have more on that coming up.

at subway, a great meal starts with a great sandwich on the new "simple 6 menu." with six of our best six-inch subs, like the tender turkey breast plus any bag of chips and a 21-ounce drink for just $6 every day.

7:44. attorney general camala harris can remove a list of potential names in her run for u.s. senate. he is the potential candidate she fear the most. billionaire environmental activist tom stires decided not to run for barbara boxer's seat. harris is still the only announced candidate right nowment stires says he will instead continue his activism on the vu of climate change and focus his efforts on electing a democratic president in 2016.

his decision, though, still leaves the door for los angeles mayor antonio villaragosa to challenge. something smells in melpedis. pam cook is in the studio now with the actions they are taking. good morning, pam. >>reporter: good morning. hundreds of people have complained about the smell in melpedis and they have a campaign to keep it from getting worse. an online petition now has more than 14,000 signatures to block the expansion of newbie island landfill. many neighbors are convinced that it is the source of the bad smells coming into melpedis. the service company says that the expansion is a long-term investment to keep garbage costs down and that it is taking state-of-the-art precautions to be a good neighbor, including misting and a system to collect the landfill gases. >> there's been a lot of misinformation with our story and we wanted to take the chance to straighten that out. >> they may say they're using best practices, but the odors

have changed from a few times a month now to four to six times a week. >>reporter: now, the company also argues that the smell in millpitas could be coming from somewhere else, including another landfill nearby operated by another company and san jose's water treatment plant. neighbors are calling for an independent odor study to determine exactly what the smell is and where it is coming from. now, the san jose planning commission will consider the land use permit next week for the landfill and the cal recycle company which oversees landfill operations permits is expected to rule on those expansion plans next month. dave. >> all right, pam. time is 7:46. now we're learning more about the charges filed in that decades-old scwripsy hill serial murder case. san mateo county prosecutors say rodney howellbower will be in court on monday to face charges that he raped and killed two bay area women in 1976. veronica casso of pacifica and

paula backster of millbray. three other women were also murdered in san mateo county during that same time, but howell bower has not been tied to those killings or the similar murder of a woman in reno. >> i feel that he's the person that did it. i mean, i wish he'd admit to it, but i don't see that happening. >> authorities say he committed the two bay area murders while he was out on bail for crimes committed in nevada. and during that time they say he attempted to kidnap, rape and kill a woman in oregon. howell bower was convicted, but his dna, it wasn't taken until years later. it went on a national database where prosecutors say it came up as a match for the two bay area killings. >> they really needed the more sophisticated technology in order to make the match. >> right. it is 7:47. want to check in with sal. it's been quite busy all morning and i think we got your mic working now. how's the toll plaza looking? >>reporter: it's looking good. finally, tori and dave, we're getting a little bit of a break because we started off shaky on

-- a shaky start, and right now we're seeing traffic that's a little bit slow still at the toll plaza westbound. there are no major problems driving into san francisco. also we are looking at the commute as you drive on 880 north and southbound. that looks pretty good both directions. westbound san mateo and dunbarton bridge as i move the maps here, they're a little bit slow as you head over to the peninsula. you can see san mateo and dunbarton bridge westbound, the road sensors are lit up in red, and that means you can expect some delays on your way over to the peninsula. stevens, otu, i have a little last minute transportation news. sky mall, you know that magazine in the thing? >> let me guess, they are no more. >>reporter: they filed for a chapter 11 bankruptcy. so i don't know if they're going to come back, but they might be going away. hey, listen, i look at that thing. when i get on the plane, i look at that thing. >> our director says they just bought a bunch of gifts from

that thing. i bet you did, ken, uh-huh. thank you, sal. that fog yesterday, i'll tell you, it was cold. today we still have some fog, there's not nearly as much. i want to thank ryan, he's up in sonoma state. he says it's still foggy up there. thank you, ryan, a pretty picture from sonoma state showing some fog. still some in santa rosa, napa, i know concord has a little bit. yesterday livermore was 53. what? 53. san jose 56, san francisco 57 and santa rosa was a soft 60. today we'll bump it up. here's why i'm a little cautious or nervous because there's four products i use to do my own temperatures. all four of them were wrong yesterday, so i'm easing into this warmup. i mean there's a nine-degree difference in some locations on just today's highs. so let's get into the 60s first and then we'll bump it into the 70s tomorrow. boy, we sure could use some rain. we could sure use some rain. possibility of tropical clouds coming up from baja next tuesday, wednesday. but now each run of the forecast models backs off on the rain. so let's focus on what will be

a wonderfully warm weekend, even though it's january. may beat all-time january records, oakland 78, sfo 73. sacramento 79, all these were set one year ago when we had 18 days of record highs or tying record highs. these are my forecasted temps for saturday, santa rosa 75. santa cruz looks to be down to watson, all the coast will be nice. inland temps will be upper 60s to low 70s. the warm air aloft is building in, that fog is burning off and the higher clouds have already moved out ap the next system has no chance. it's cold, though, for most. half moon bay is 59 degrees already. 30s for many, 40s for others, but i'll tell ya, i saw fairfield down to 34, they're now 39. 1,700 feet 57. that's that warm air coming in, hillsburg 37. there's a bigger difference between some of the higher elevations and at the surface. but after everything is said and done, it means a warmer pattern is kicking in. in fact, temperatures well above average through the weekend, a good 10, 15 degrees.

mostly sunny friday here. it's already beginning to burn off, a lot of that fog, and a little bit warmer. i went back into the 60s, but by tomorrow i think we'll see upper 60s and 70s. sunday looks to be the warmest day, and then we'll keep an eye on the south for some tropical clouds maybe moving in here, but let me deal with that on monday. clouds and nothing else. and if it doesn't get any rain then, we may not get any rain through the end of the month which would be a first for san francisco in january. 60s on most of these temps. some of these will be low 60s, and then tomorrow sunshine and warmer temps, warmest day looks to be sunday. still okay monday and then we'll cloud it up on tuesday. >> all right, steve. >> thank you, receive. >> thank you, steve. time is now 7:51. to the delight of football fans everywhere, the folks of bad lip reading, they've done it again. >> you gotta keep eat breakfast. then lunch. >> you know what i mean? more of the hilarious voice overs in the next hour of "mornings on 2". plus some bay area favorites.

>> that was pretty funny. here's something else that's not really funny. you see actor will ferrell kicked out of an nba game. what he did to a cheerleader that got him booted.

welcome back to mornings on 2. time now 7:54. we have a followup to a story yesterday we reported on mornings on 2. we reported san francisco police made an arrest in connection to an arson case in the castro district. the 25-year-old suspect david diaz could appear in court as early as today. he's accused of of starting a fire behind a beauty salon last saturday morning. he is also being investigated for but has not been charged yet with two trash can fires set on monday outside of homes in that same area. >> at this time he's only -- we are only charging him for the incident from the 17th, but with any investigation, this bill is an ongoing and active investigation. >> his life was kind of going

well. i especially can't imagine him running around the castro lighting small fires. it just makes no sense. >> diaz served three years in jail for involuntary manslaughter for strangling a sex partner and burning his body. that was back in 2011. a 132-page report on the 2012 chevron refinery fire says both chevron and refinery regulations are to blame. that fire endangered 19 workers and that smoke you see here sent thousands of people to the hospital. u.s. chemical safety board had previously identified that the fire start because an old pipe ruptured, but this report goes further. it finds fault with chevron's safety culture and the emergency response. the investigation also found gaps in the current industry guidelines. the report recommends contra costa county set up an oversight committee. a public meeting will be held on this new report in richmond next wednesday. it is 7:55.

the nba's top team, the golden state warriors will be well represented at next month's all star game at madison square garden. >> guys, steffen curry, just wanted to say thank you so much for all the votes. it's great to be an all star again and couldn't have done it without you guys. thank you very much. >> he's a classy guy. seth curry went on insta stagram to thank fans for 1 1/2 million votes. it's no surprise head coach steve kerr will coach the all stars. clay thompson has the chance to be select as a reserve next week. check out this basketball game. that's actor will ferrell with the ball. he was recently kicked out of the game for hitting a cheerleader in the face with a basketball. it happened yesterday during the intermission of the lakers pelicans game. ferrell, he was filming a scene for his latest movie "daddy's home" when suddenly for no reason he hit the cheerleader

with the ball. ushers rushed in to escort the comedian out of the venue. the whole stunt was staged for the film. no cheerleaders were actually hurt during the shooting of this scene, we want to assure you that. >> he got tori campbell to talk about it. >> he did. >> he always does a stunt before a movie comes out. time is 7:56. the company that created "shriek" is downsizing. after the break the major impact for that on workers here in the bay area. >>reporter: we are in castro valley where one woman was killed, three others injured during a deadly car crash this morning on 580. coming up an update on that situation and the new video we have of the cars involved. >>reporter: other than that the commute has been okay, a little better than usual, but we still have some slowdowns to talk about. we're going to look at the east bay when we come back. still a couple of reports of cold and fog, but a lot of the cloud cover is retreating much sooner today. it's going to be warmer. we'll show you how much.

welcome back. it has been a rough friday morning commute. this horrible overnight crash on interstate 580 in castro valley shut down lanes for hours. one person was killed, three others had to be rushed to a hospital. in about a minute from now ktvu's brian flores who was out

there, he will tell you how the morning commute is affect an the better news now for drivers. stay tuned. welcome back. thank you for joining us here on "mornings on 2", friday, january 23rd. i'm dave clark. >> good morning. i'm tori campbell. a quick look at weather and traffic. and, steve, looks like the chance of rain is kind of decreasing. >> not really very promising next tuesday, wednesday. and after that there's really not much on the horizon. maybe the dryest january ever in san francisco. we just had our dryest last january when only.06 fell and we're hard-pressed to really find much more than that this january. that's never happened to have a dry january. i think we've had two dry decembers and one february, but never a january. fog is there. for some it's very socked in. i know around santa rosa and also roner park, a few locations as well. but hazy sunshine, a little warmer. these are some of my forecasted highs for tomorrow. upper 60s, for some low 70s. santa cruz looks to be very warm, i think santa cruz and up and down most of the coast

still warm. still some fog holding on a little bit. i have to cough, but i'll be all right. there we go. as soon as you say it, it goes away. 63 at half moon bay? what? 63 with a north breeze, that's why. 30s for many or 40s, it's cold, but the fog is going to burn off sooner here and temperatures will rebound. some areas if you're stuck off in the east in that fog, it can be a tall order. i think it'll burn off much sooner today than yesterday, that's for sure. 60s on the temps, and maybe pushing a few mid and upper. sal, i'll let you disee where to -- decide where to begin. we've had a lot going on. >>reporter: we do, steve, we have a lot going on. first of all let me tell you that eastbound 580 in castro valley has reopen after a crash that killed one person. ktvu channel 2 reporter brian flores is near the scene with details about what happened. brian. >>reporter: hi, sal, good morning to you. that is the silver lining in this story as that all lanes are back open now on 580

eastbound. they opened about a half an hour ago, but still lots of unanswered questions on this deadly crash from earlier this morning. want to go to some new video now that we shot moments ago. these are the cars involved in this deadly crash. got a closer look as the cars were pull off the freeway. according to the tow truck driver who spoke to us off camera, he says the smaller compact car is a cion sedan and the car we've been talking about is a honda pilot. the chp says this happened at 4 cho 20 this morning near 150th in castro valley. the driver of a sedan somehow lost control, went onto the center divide and overturn. chp says part of the car was blocking the fast lane. moments later the driver of that honda pilot suv t-boned the sedan. it's unclear if that driver had enough reaction time to swerve out of the way. now when crews arrived, the sedan caught fire. one woman in that sedan was killed, three others, including the driver of the honda pilot were taken to eden medical center with unknown injuries. >> that vehicle left the

roadway and subsequently overturned into the center divide. at a later point in time, a second vehicle, a gray honda pilot struck that vehicle causing the overturned vehicle to be engulfed in flames. >>reporter: as we've been talking about all morning long for about three hours, eastbound lanes of 580 from 164th were completely closed. commuters, in fact, were forced to exit onto 164th as they were trying to get onto highway 238. but, again, the eastbound lanes of 580 are back open this morning, but, again, lots of unanswered questions, especially who the victim is in this case and what actually caused the crash. chp will continue to investigate and we will stay on top of this story and bring you the very latest. back to you, sal. >> brian, thank you very much. that's brian who is near castro valley there, and as he said, those lanes have reopened. the other freeway commute traffic has not been as bad fortunately. as we look at 80 westbound, you can see traffic has begun to

improve. we had a couple of earlier incidents here, much less serious than what brian was talking about, but we did have an accident at the maze. and it kind of elevated the commute a little bit, but now it's coming back down. at the bay bridge toll plaza, you can see traffic is backed up for a little bit. this is about a 15 to 20-minute delay, no problems getting into san francisco. now, the traffic continues to move along relatively well on 580 coming in from livermore, eastbound 580 still a little bit slow getting over the dublin grabe. 880 southbound has been moderate. it's 8:04. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. a berkeley high school student was arrested yesterday and another was sent to the hospital after a big fight near campus. around 2:00 yesterday afternoon police received several calls about a fight on shaddick avenue near alston way. when officers arrived, they found about 20 students and several fights happening at the same time. a 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of battery. the student taken to the hospital has minor injuries.

police are investigating what start the fight. this is not the first time a berkeley high school students have been arrested for fighting. this is video from may of last year when students from berkeley high school, berkeley tech and oakland tech converged on shaddick avenue. several fights broke out and three people were arrested. then in october 15 berkeley high school students were suspended during a mob scene involving 500 students. one teacher was injured during that incident. time is 8:05. both the fbi and san francisco police are out there searching for a man who's connected to at least seven recent bank robberies. now, police say these are photos of the suspects from bank surveillance cameras. investigators say the robber has used a fake mustache, a black trench coat, a dark- colored fedora, sometimes even a fake beard to disguise himself. now, he's described as a white man in his 30s or 40s, between

5'7" and 5'9" tall and has a very thin build and pale skin. the seven robberies happened across san francisco. the first was last october. the most recent was just last week. if you have any information call the fbi. it is 8:05. police in panola are searching for a third man suspected of carjacking a vehicle and ordering two sleeping children to get out of the car at gunpoint. it happened wednesday morning just before 7:00. police say three carjackers drove up to a home on patrick drive where a car was parked with the engine running. the men armed with a semiautomatic handgun ordered two children ages 9 and 13 to get out of the car and then they drove away in it. the car with the suspects inside was found yesterday by sheriff's deputies. all three suspects ran away, but two of of them have since been captured and arrested. happening right now with the warmer weather coming into the bay area, a high surf advisory is in effect for the whole bay area coastline. beaches from sonoma to monterey

county, they're at risk for those dangerous sneaker waves. waves could be 15 feet high. it's all because of a storm system developing out there in the pacific ocean. if you're going to the beach, be very careful. if you get in the water or even walk on the beach, that high surf warning is in effect until sunday. in the meantime the cost of renting a house is getting more expensive all across the country, but in two bay area cities in particular it is really going up. the real estate tracking company displ illo says rents nationwide jumped 3% during the last year. however, san francisco rents jumped about 15% in the same period. the average rent in san francisco is just over $3,000 a month. san jose rents went up 14%, averaging almost $3,200 a month. 8:07. job cuts are in the works for the company known for animated movies including "shrek" and

"how to train your dragon." ktvu's janine del la vega is in redwood city to tell us what is happening to workers there. good morning, janine. >>reporter: good morning, tori. well, dream works facility here is shutting its doors, that's according to reports. earlier we spoke to an employee who called the news unfortunate. online employees talk about the perks of working for dream works and those who visited the facility say the oscar that dream works won for "shrek" is displayed in the lobby here. the dream works animation office is located on seaport boulevard just off of highway 101. we peeked inside their cafeteria this morning where you can see movie memorabilia new zealand, including a statue of -- memorabilia inside, including a statue of kung fu panneda. workers here are reportedly parts of layoffs. it's a restructuring move cutting 20% of its work force, that's about 500 jobs. dream works is best known for producing the movie "shrek," "madagascar" and "kung fu

panda." now it's downsizing after a string of underperforming films. the owner said making three films a year is too ambitious and they will release two. they do have one film coming out this year and is call "home." it's a story of new aliens looking for a new home and it befriends a girl on earth. it opens in march. some employees at the redwood city office will reportedly be offered positions in glendale, that's in southern california, but it's still a loss for redwood city. tori. >> thank you, janine. time is 8:09. we are still following that developing story in san francisco. police still at a standoff with a suspect who may be barricaded inside. you may be the tactical team is suited up and in 22 minutes you'll see more about the home being surrounded and what police are now doing to get the suspect out. and the king is dead, long live the queen. after the break the recent death of saudi arabia's king is causing the queen of england to also make headlines this morning. good morning. right now we are still looking

at a commute that is busy in some areas. but it's improving in others. 280 is looking like it's almost done for the morning, as you can see. north bay fog, petaluma, also santa rosa and some over the bay, but it's retreating sooner today and it all includes a warmer pattern. we'll show you how much warmer. again? give them something special. gather around the world's best chicken and home-style sides for a dinner everyone will get excited about.

kfc.

welcome back to "mornings on 2". time is 8:12. we have developing news about the two japanese hostages held by isis. we're hearing now about a new video posted online with a

countdown clock and some pretty graphic pictures of other hostages who have been behead. the mother of one of the japanese hostages is pleading for her son's release. she says her son who's a journalist went to syria to try to free his friend who had been captured by the islamic state. the group said it would behead the two men sometime today if japan didn't pay $200 million in ransom. the japanese leaders reportedly told the men's families japan will not pay the ransom. 8:13. saudi arabia's king abdullah died earlier today and his brother was quickly named the successor to the thrown. king abdullah was 90 years old and had been hospitalized for weeks with pneumonia. he was an american ally and sided with the u.s. against the islamic state extremists. the king was seen as a moderate reformer in the deeply conservative saudi kingdom and created small opportunities for women. his brother king soloman says he will continue saudi arabia's

current policies. and president obama is offering his condolences and sympathies to the people of saudi arabia. in a statement he said "i always valued king abdullah's perspective and preernted our genuine and warm -- appreciated our genuine and warm friendship." queen elizabeth is now the world's oldest monarch following the death of king abdullah. the king was 90. the queen will be 89 in april. it's not the only record the queen is set to break this year. in september she will pass her great-great grandmother queen victoria as the longest- reigning british monarch ever. in case you're wondering, dave, because i was, victoria's reep was 63 years, seven months and two days. so a long, long time. and i was named after queen victoria. >> that's where that tori came from. >> that's right. uh-huh. time 8:41. let's check in with sal. it's been an interesting friday morning. >>reporter: finally we can lighten it up a little bit.

by the way our colleague at fox sports ken rosenthal has just tweeted that ryan vogelsong is signing a year with the giants. if you are a sports fan, it's ken rosenthal fox sports, you can follow him on twitter. good follow. steve will have probably a comment on that. let's go to 880 northbound and southbound. traffic is moving along slowly on northbound 880 passing the coliseum as you drive past high street. it gets a little bit better for you. at the bay bridge toll plaza westbound, about a 15 to 20- minute delay. no major problems getting into the city, but there's a -- there's waiting to do. if you're driving on the nimitz freeway, let's explore this a little bit more, 880 southbound a little bit slow northbound and 880 today begins to slow up just right near 238, so a lot of of it is slow past that coliseum. as i mentioned, it does get better past high street, but the beginning point is more like 238. 8:15. let's go to steve in the

weather center. >> i thought he was houston bound. >> not according to -- >> i believe you. >>reporter: me too, though. >> he changed his mind. >> some fog out there, mainly in the north bay so far and of course out through the valley. but there was a lot more yesterday. there's more towards the bay, but looks to be burning off very fast. thick towards petaluma, we thank you, gary, for that and up to santa rosa. thank you, courtney, for that information. otherwise most locations who had fog yesterday are already in the sun. oh, my goodness, yesterday was so cold. these were the highs. san francisco 57, livermore was only 53. that's at the airport. i know people live out in livermore say my temperatures are different than that. again, i'm just using the otion one. san jose 56. today we'll butch you into the 60s -- we'll bump you into the 60s. if you want rain, pin your hopes on next tuesday and wednesday coming up from baja which is just amazing in itself for this time of year. that might be the only opportunity of the month to get rain in january. there are signs of it. i'll show you that coming up. but first this weekend, all- time january records are

possible, 78 in oakland, have to beat that or tie it. sfo 73, gilroy 80, sacramento 79. all of these were set exactly one year ago. well, you know, last january which was the dryest ever and we had 18 days of record highs. some of my forecasted temps for saturday, warmest temps will be on the coast, santa cruz, it doesn't matter, bodega bay, san mateo coast looks good. inland upper 60s to low 70s, although the warm air aloft is definitely building in, some of that fog around the north bay will retreat pretty soon. yesterday, i mean, it stuck around for a long time. 30s still in the terps, so it's cold, yet half moon bay 63 degrees already, 63 at the half moon bay airport. if you're in menlo park, you say you'll go to half moon bay, a difference there. the higher elevations are warming up. a little bit of an easterly breeze for most in the city. yesterday was throughout richmond. today more of a southerly breeze or northwest, so there are some changes. two systems, one coming out of the great lakes and one coming

up from the southeast equal a lot of winter weather advisories for the northeast starting late tonight into the weekend. so if you have any travel plans, that's going to be the focus as the system develops and nor'easter goes right up there. it'll be really close, but lots of snow forecasted for new york city, connecticut and up into massachusetts and also into new jersey and pennsylvania. so be advised. that'll be the big weather maker. 20s up in reno and also tahoe. 40s for the low, also eureka, ukiah and sacramento 45. once that fog burns off, we're good for sunshine and temperatures tomorrow will really bump up, we'll be 10, 15 degrees above average, a little bit of an offshore breeze and higher elevations could be really warm. we could see lows 60 degrees on sunday near 2,00 feet. santa cruz mountains mainly. friday warmer, much warmer into the weekend. the tropical clouds next tuesday and wednesday coming from a low which will form here and then be drawn northward. it's a tall order for this time of year, august, september okay. january? hard to believe. watch how the cloud cover

starts to sneak up here. again, it'll be on tuesday. one forecast model is much wetter than this one, so we'll see how that develops. to be honest with you, i hope it makes it because we need the rain. mostly sunny, morning fog, clouds starting to decrease here, but overall 60s on the temps. we'll get a little bit warmer when the fog burns off much sooner than it did yesterday except in the valley where it'll hang around. sacramento, stockton, be advised of that. but a warm weekend for the coast. >> i know it's just so, so strange. people are talking about very spring like and very different in other parts. >> thank you, steve. 8:19. a rare look into a south bay landfill that actually wants to expand, however, there's a strong opposition from neighbors who say the place stinks. in 19 minutes the efforts the facility is making to be a good neighbor. but, first, some of youtube's biggest stars, they sat down with president obama, but things got a little weird. of after the break why the interviews didn't go as planned and the one funny moment that

made mr. obama smile.

some of the mayors yesterday, including mayor lee and sacramento mayor kevin johnson. the mayors are at the white house to discuss relations between the federal government and cities. a big pay raise to report for apple ceo tim cook. cook's pay check more than doubled last year to over $9 million. apple says nearly $7 million of that was in bonuses based on the company's performance. apple had a blockbuster year with the release of the iphone 6 and a new payment system called apple pay. cook took home $4 1/4 million in 13. the cupertino-based company reports its first quarter earnings next week. and a stafford graduate come up with a matchmaking app with a more selective clientele than tender. amanda bradford has create the league. since november the app has paired 20,000 people resulting in 19 love connections. only a select number of people are allowed to join and they include attorneys, doctors and

tech executives. bradford started in san francisco but hopes to next launch the app in new york and later london. time is 8:23. the new study says sharing frustrations on twitter, it might be bad for your health. researchers at the university of pennsylvania say hate-filled tweets are now connected to heart disease, even the cause of death among men and women. they compare heart disease information from the centers for disease control to the use of angry tweets in 1,300 u.s. counties nationwide. the locations of negative tweets were almost identical to the locations that had the highest rates of heart disease deaths. >> we've known through multiple different studies that depression, anger, hoss tillity, being quick to react increases your risk for heart disease through the stress hormones that get released. >> that's interesting. doctors say instead of using twitter for stress release, go to the gym or yell at the top of your lungs or punch

something, just don't punch somebody else. and if you're feeling a little lonely as we get closer to valentine's day, there's a new app offering your own special somebody. the service launched yesterday. it's called invisible boyfriend or invisible girlfriend. for a monthly fee of $24.99, you can pick your fake partner's photo, name, interests and a story about how you met. then over the course of the next four weeks your fake partner will send you 100 text messages, 10 voice mails and even one postcard. the company's founder says he got the idea when too many people started asking him if he was dating someone after he was divorced. southwest airlines says it's saving a lot of money on fuel, but that does not mean their tickets are cheaper. southwest expects to save more than $1 1/2 billion this year thanks to lower fuel costs. southwest and other airlines are taking the money they save from fuel and they're spending

it on infrastructure improvements. southwest, by the way, had record profits last year. president obama sat down for a special interview with some of youtube's biggest stars, but one moment did not go as planned. >> i have green lipstick, one for your first wife -- >> my first wife? do you know something i don't? >> oh. for the first lady, and the first children. >> yeah, glozell green there was giving the president signature lipstick she is known for wearing on her youtube channel. as you heard, she made a bit of a slipup when talking about the flaid. she was one of the three youtube stars invited to interview the president. time is now 8:26. it was supposed to make things safer on golden gate bridge, but it's increasingly concerning a lot of people because of danger. coming up why some say the

safety barrier on the bridge may also be giving a false sense of security. and we've been talking about it all morning, a police standoff in san francisco still going on at this hour. you can see a lot of activity happening, a sign that the police may be ready to move in. >>reporter: we're still looking at a commute where traffic is improving, but there's still some slowdowns out there. this is 237, you soo see some slowing approaching anchor road. a little bit of fog holding on parts of the bay and also the north bay, but overall it's burning off much sooner. that means warmer temps. we'll show you how much warmer, especially on the weekend.

good morning. welcome back.

these are live pictures from san francisco. it's been a tense situation in the ingleside neighborhood all morning. the police are everywhere out there. a standoff that started early yesterday evening still going on at this very moment. ktvu's tara moriarty has been out there all morning. coming up in a few minutes she'll tell you how much this situation changed in the past couple of minutes. stay tuned. thank you for joining us, friday, january 23rd, i'm dave clark. let's talk about your weather and traffic right now. steve paulson is here with the latest forecast for today and the weekend. >> a little bit of fog still left, but it's going to get warmer, dave, in fact, much warmer. if you just took the dogs out or whatever and you say, man, i'm freezing, head over to half moon po bay, it's 63 degrees there right now. some of that fog up towards petaluma, santa rosa, maybe a little bit still holding on the bay and retreating rapidly back towards the valley. some of that took a long time if at all to burn off yesterday. still holding onto a little bit of fog, but the higher clouds

are gone. 30s for many. there's the 63, northeast breeze at seven. that'll do t. still some 30s, a couple holding on to a lot of 40s, starting to bounce off those morning lows. northeast at seven, that's all it takes for them to warm up. that's an offshore breeze. it's a hint of things to come for this weekend as temperatures on the coast good 10, 15 degrees above average. everyone will get in on the warmup with the warmest temps being over by the beaches this weekend. mostly sunny here, still some thick morning fog, pockets of that. cold, visibility is awful, but it'll burn off or lift a little sooner today. upper 50s, low 60s for a few, but a lot more 60s today. here's sal with what's been a very busy morning. >>reporter: it sure has been, steve. we do have some things that we want to talk about. 580, for example, westbound coming out of livermore valley has been moderate. i've had a couple things going on, certainly nothing as serious as we had earlier, but westbound 580 a little bit slow in dublin. it's better than it usually is. 580 has gone from no traffic in oakland and san leandro to a lot of it all of a sudden. we have a late crowd going out

here at 580. in fact, i can kind of move the map over to show you, kind of zoom in. 880 is slow from 238 and 580 is slowing out of san leandro. out to the lake shore area of oakland, 13 northbound is also slow. so oakland, look at oakland, they're trying to get this slow traffic out of the way right now here in the last half hour of the typical commute. a little bit of slow traffic there. bay bridge toll plaza, it is backed up for a 15 to 20-minute delay. 8:32. let's go back to the desk. >> all right, sal, thank you. we have developing news we're following in san francisco. police tactical teams in position right now outside of a home near san francisco state. a man has been barricaded since 6:00 last night. ktvu's tara moriarty is there. she's getting the latest information on how they're trying to get the suspect out of that house. we'll bring you an update in just a couple of minutes. in the meantime we also have a followup on a story we first told you about yesterday on "mornings on 2".

we reported that san francisco police made an arrest in connection to an arson case in castro. 25-year-old suspect david diaz may be in court as early as today. he's accused of starting a fire behind a beauty salon last saturday morning. he's also being investigated for but has not yet been charged with two trash can fires set monday outside of homes in that same area. >> at this time he's only -- we are only charging him for the incident from the 17th, but as with any investigation, this bill is an ongoing and active investigation. >> his life was kind of going well. i especially can't imagine him running around the castro lighting small fires, it makes no sense. >> now, diaz served three years in jail for involuntary manslaughter for strangling a sex partner and burning his body back in 2011. time is 8:33. protesters really turned out for last night's bart board meeting demanding that all

charges be dropped against the people arrested during a demonstration in west oakland. [ chanting ] >> more than 100 people jammed into the meeting room of the bart board in oakland. they say the 14 people arrested the day after thanksgiving for shutting down train service at the west oakland bart station were simply exercising their right to free speech. but those people face misdemeanor charges as well as potential fines. >> many people were inconvenienced by the montgomery bus boycots. do you think rosa parks should have paid restitution for that? >> alameda county prosecutors, they will decide if charges are going to be filed, but one bart board member says she'll introduce a resolution, calling for the charges to be dropped. the board is expected to debate all of this at the next board meeting. well, installing a moveable barrier on the golden gate bridge was supposed to make the bridge safer, but almost two weeks after it was installed, we're learning about

an unintended effect. more people are speeding on the golden gate bridge. the chp says they've issued 35 citations in just two days. patrol officers say the safety barrier gives drivers a new sense of security. many are ignoring the 45 mile per hour speed limit. >> traffic is going to stop real fast and anybody that's driving 60, 70 miles an hour is likely going to cause another accident. >>reporter: are you more tax- exempted to -- testerred to speed now with the barrier? >> i speed all the time, so, no. >> although that new barrier has eliminated the threat of a head-on crash, the chp warns there are other risks. there's still no shoulders on the bridge, so a stalled car or a fender bender, that could lead to a dangerous chain reaction crash. time is 8:35. we want to take you back to our developing news in san francisco. we told you a man is holed up in a house near san francisco's

state college. he's been barricaded there since 6:00 last night and the police are moving in. ktvu's tara moriarty is out there live now. so what's happening? >>reporter: well, the tactical team is in place. police have asked us not to show home in case the suspect is watching television. so, of course, we're going to honor that. we know a while ago it looked like the teams were moving in and moving inside the house. they actually did not go physically into the house, but we do know that officers are reattempting negotiations. now, we spoke to the captain here about 15 minutes ago and he told us that the man who has barricaded himself inside his house on grafton and ashton avenues had an argument with his family last night around 6:00. sources inside, sfpd tells me it was a physical altercation between the suspect and his brother which escalated. the brother called 911 and he and his mother got out. >> what's happening now is we're waiting. he's inside, we think he's by

himself, so he's not threatening anybody right now. there's no exextension circumstances for us to move in, so we're just waiting. we want to wait him out, convince him to come out. >>reporter: now, police don't know if the suspect is armed, so they are treating this situation as if he were. police broke a window when they tossed a phone into the suspect's house last night to try to start the negotiation process, but as far as we know, he never picked up the phone. now, we cannot show you, again, the situation out here because we've been asked not to, but we have noticed that tactical teams are now out in the streets, so there is some movement here. we're not sure exactly what's going on. we're going to try to get some more information and of course we'll let you know as the morning progresses. tara moriarty, back to you. >> tara, i know how sensitive this is. have people been evacuated or moved out of that street? >>reporter: no. you know, last night the houses on either side of the suspect's home, they were not allowed to go inside of their homes but

all the other people were allowed to go inside of their homes. since then police have been giving people escorts to and from their houses. streets are blocked off here. if you know the area, grafton is actually garfield street, they are the same street that essentially, you know, turn into one another. two of the buses normally run through this area, so they have had to be rerouted this morning. this is sort of a heavily traveled thoroughfare for people for their morning commute, so a lot of people have had to go around. but as long as they say that he is not threatening anyone else, he has no hostages inside, police say they see no reason to be progressive about this. right now we do hear some sirens right now, but i don't know if they're headed in this direction. again, we will, of course, keep you posted. back to you. >> tara moriarty, thank you, tara. it's been almost a week since bay area birds started showing up covered with a sticky substance. now it appears the threat might be over. that's because animal rescuers have stopped finding

contaminated birds. more than 500 affected birds were discovered on both sides of the bay over the past week, almost half of them died. lab tests on the dead birds are now under way. so far indications are that the goo is not an oil-based product or synthetic rubber. >> the threat as we know it right now is over. we're not sure what it is. we know what it's not, but that opens up the whole periodic table to what it could be. >> investigators hope to learn more by the end of the week. once they find out what the substance is, they'll try to determine where it came from. a campaign to keep a malpitas landfill from expanding is gaining momentum. an online petition now has more than 14,000 sipghts to block the expansion of the newbie island landfill. many neighbors are convinced it's the source of the bad smell coming into malpitas. the public services company says the expansion is a long- term investment to keep garbage costs down. the company says it combats the

smell by misting the landfill and using a system to destroy landfill gas. >> unfortunately because we're the landfill that can be seen from the highway and we have our expansion permit effort out on the street, anyone that smells anything now within the 30-mile radius automatically thinks it's the landfill. >> the planning commission will consider approving the land use permit on january 28th. cal recycle which oversees the landfill operation permits is expected to announce the final decision next month. all right, tori, word just coming in right now, we're getting word that most of the rare wine that was stolen from the world famous french laundry restaurant in napa valley, it's been found in north carolina. detectives tracked down the wine to greensboro, north carolina to a private seller. the napa county sheriff's department isn't saying who had the wine. they say the investigation is still going on. now, that break-in at the

french laundry occurred christmas day and the thieves knew what they were looking for, only the rarest bottles were stolen, including screaming eagle, cabernet and drc burgundy. the losses are estimated between $300 and $700,000, tori. >> very interesting story. the person has a little explaining to do. 8:41. a startling study about airport safety. coming up the potentially dangerous objects being found in passengers' bags and why there's increasing concern. plus did you see this? another case of a celebrity getting off easy? bam. why actor will ferrell won't be punished with these charges, really nailed a cheerleader with that basketball and it was all caught on camera. >>reporter: good morning. we're looking at a commute that's getting better in most areas, however, it's getting a little slower in the east bay, but getting better here in the south bay. we'll tell you more about that.

well, mother nature looks like a slam dunk, a possibility of record highs this weekend on the coast. already 63 in half moon bay. we'll tell you about your warmer weekend. ♪ with kaiser permanente you'll connect with your doctor any time anywhere. another way care and coverage together makes life easier. ♪ become a member of kaiser permanente. because together, we thrive. ♪

8:44. here's something to think about

the next time you go to an airport. tsa officials say they are finding more and more leaded firearms in travelers' carry-on bags. according to a report released by the department of homeland security a record-breaking 2,212 firearms were discovered last year in airports across the country. that's a 22% jump from 2013. officials say more than 80% of the firearms found were loaded and the number one excuse by passengers busted with firearms was they forgot they had the weapon with them. a hall of fame quarterback doubts new england patriots star tom brady is telling the truth about deflate-gate. brady, a san mateo native, held a news conference yesterday in which he denied any knowledge about using underinflated footballs in last sunday's afc championship game. reporters criminalled him -- reporters grilled him about whether he instructed ball boys to deliberately deflate footballs so he would have a better grip. >>reporter: is tom brady [ inaudible ]

>> i don't believe so. i feel like i've always played within the rules. i would never do anything to break the rules. >> it's obvious that tom brady had something to do with this or the ball -- for the balls to have been deflated, that doesn't happen unless the quarterback want that is to happen, i can assure you of that. >> former dallas cowboys quarterback troy aikman says quarterbacks tell ball boys all the time how much air they want in the balls. fox sports is reporting that the nfl was tipped off about the underinflated balls and had always intended to test them at half time. most of the balls were at least 16% flatter than the league allows. >> time is 8:46. gotta show you this. actor will ferrell kicked out of an nba game recently for hitting a cheerleader right in the face with a basketball. it happened wednesday during half time of the lakers and pelicans game. ferrell did that. right in the face. he was filming his new movie,

"daddy's home," suddenly slammed cheerleader with the ball. security rushed over, they took ferrell out of the arena. don't worry, it was a stunt, it was for the movie. no cheerleaders were really hurt during the shooting of that scene. >> that's a relief. a group called bad lip reading broke down the nfl season. they posted a video on youtube of what they thought nfl players and coaches might have said during games. check this out. >> she's so pretty. you guys don't have a problem with this? >> i like this hat. >> yeah, one's gotta rake and i killed a snowman. >> oh yeah. with my sorry friend. >> that's very funny. bad lip reading is known for posting wise-cracking videos on the web. they catch players at vulnerable moments and then deliberately and hilariously misread. look at the expression.

>> it's real close too. i think the players have fun with it too. >> hope so. time is 8:47. let's check back with sal to get you where you need to go. sal, the east shore behaving? >>reporter: it's okay. it's a little bit better than it used to be, as we go to a live picture of the east shore freeway. you can see that traffic is going to be 29 minutes, not too bad, it's improved a little bit. you see some more slow traffic as you drive in richmond and berkeley than it is slow after the cartenas bridge. so most of the traffic has shifted heading down to the macarthur maze. now then let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza and you can see traffic is going to be backed up a little bit. it seems to be improving by the moment here but traffic is still a little bit slow. i want to look at the south bay with our maps, and you can see that northbound 101 is still slow there. 280 is improving, 85 is getting better, so things are on the improving list, i guess, if you want to say that, if you have the luxury of waiting, you might want to do that as things get better as we close in on the end of the commute for most

people anyway. time to go to the weather center. here's steve with a live forecast. >> sal, thank you, sir. fog is burning off pretty fast for most, still some holding on in the north bay out to the valley. that fog, though, will lift much sooner today and temperatures beginning to warm up a little bit, even though it is cold this morning. jane tweeted me and said i've lived here 63 years and i never remember weather like this. well, jane, it's definitely unusual, all-time record highs are possible this weekend. who would have thought that one year later? 78 in oakland for january, 73 sfo, gilroy 80 and sacramento 79. these were all set last january. here we are one year later, we may be looking to break those records. fog petaluma, sonoma state, up to santa rosa. that will probably be the last to burn off and less out through the valley. that will hold on for a little bit. 30s for many, 40s, or 63 balmy degrees at half moon bay. northeast wind at seven, helping them, still 30s, 40s for some, at the higher elevations, santa cruz

mountains and some areas in the north bay already in the mid- to upper 50s, and with that little easterly breeze or northeast breeze, that's going to really help warm temperatures up. fog is really all that's left. look for temperatures to be 10 to 15 degrees above average this weekend. the coast and beaches will be the place to be. it easily could be mid- to upper 70s for some down towards santa cruz to 80 near monterey. everything falls into place and it sure looks like it is. inland, though, still mild to warm, but not as warm as the coast, that will be the warm spot. maybe tuesday, wednesday clouds coming up from baja could give us some rain tuesday, wednesday. probably not, but it's possible. mostly sunny, morning fog, 60s on these temps out from those 50s from yesterday. that fog really kept the temperatures down yesterday, but sunny side up and warm as we go into the weekend. >> so almost like barbecue weather? >> i would say on sunday, yes. >> we can go outside. i hope you guys are hungry. >> i'm hungry. >> because it is san francisco restaurant week and foodies, we

got you covered. after the break all the information you need on the delicious event plus the executive chef from cheeny will cook off a forbidden dish. >> i can smell it in the studio now. >> back in a moment.

welcome back to "mornings on 2". we are once again getting you excited about cooking, eating and eating out because now it is san francisco restaurant week and we have toma freea,

executive chef of chino and also taco-lishes, part owner as well and gwenyth who's with the restaurant association. you're making forbidden fried rice. >> yeah. so forbidden fried rice, essentially black rice, it was called forbidden because it was only for emperorrers at the time. people couldn't eat this rice, but now luckily for us everybody can eat this rice. >> us public people will get to try it. nice. >> we have some chinese dried cured sausage in here, and it's got a lot of wonderful flavors in there. so to that we're just going to add the rice that's been precooked. >> nice. is it easy to find that rice in places? >> yeah. you know, in the bay area we're pretty lucky because there's a lot of great asian markets, but i think like specialty stores, some of the high end grocery stores will definitely carry it as well. >> i was just going to say that too. in san francisco we're really lucky because we have pretty much any kind of food from any country you can imagine and it's very authentic.

you bring -- you spent part of your travels in portugal. what else do you bring to your cooking? first and foremost it's like a very bay area style of cooking. it's a san francisco sensibility which is a focus on quality ingredients, doing things the right way and making things fresh. then it's drawing inspiration from different regions of the world and in chino's case, chinese and asian cooking, drawing influence even from southeast asia and korea. but, really, it's just really focusing on what's great and around us and available here and then being inspired by the rest of the world. so that's the way i enjoy cooking. >> nice. this is interesting. what is that? >> so this is a mix of -- this is chopped ginger, chopped garlic and fresno chili, people call it red jalapeno >> a little spice >> yeah. this is going to add some nice aromatics and flavors in, there especially with the ginger, it'll kind of be real floral and perfumy with all those flavors we have going on.

>> while he's cooking, tell me, this is the first year that golden gate restaurant station took this on. why did you decide to take on restaurant week? what can we expect that will be different? >> well, restaurant week, we're the golden gate restaurant association, we represents the restaurants and the industry, so it makes perfect sense that we would take it over. when we took it over, we thought why don't we name is san francisco restaurant week? >> a little more obvious. >> what was exciting about it was that we were able to add some new components to it. this year we have 117 restaurants participating which is more than last year. we have your traditional menu options. >> it's smelling very good in here. >> we added enhancements. [ inaudible ] [ food frying ] >> we also have a discovery menu. >> i have toel thank you, discovery menu, keep that in mind because we only have so much time, but i want to make sure, let everybody know that,

actually, all the information about restaurant week is on our website, ktvu.com. you can get that and you can also get this recipe that tomo is making which i'm really happy about because this is smelling very good. we're going to taste it in a moment. right now back to tori and dave. >> certainly does smell good in here, doesn't it? thank you. right now one more quick check on traffic with sal. >>reporter: that's my girl gweneth right there. i love her. i'm going to go to you in a minute. let's go out and take a look at what we have now. we do have a little bit of slow traffic still at the bay bridge toll plaza westbound. you can see the traffic, no major problems getting to the city. northbound 101, the traffic in the city is okay. let's go to weather right now. steve. >> tori and the chef. so it'll be sunny and warm this weekend. it will that's your weather. >> good weekend that you can cook. >> that's right, absolutely. so you've got -- is this all complete now, this is all finished? >> completed. >> fabulous. i like this heedamame beans in
