liza, good morning, thursday april 9. mallicoat. >> i'm juliette goodrich, in for michelle griego. >>> pg&e is too large and has too much money to be held accountable, that's the question that's expected to be the message today as the state puc prepares to vote on a penalty for the deadly san bruno pipeline explosion. kpix 5's anne makovec is live at puc headquarters with more on the commission president's concerns. anne. >>> reporter: the president is afraid that pg&e may simply be too big to operate safely. and it is a behemoth in the world of utilities. the largest in the state. this as the puc is going to impose a record-breaking fine up to $1.6 billion because of this, 4.5 years ago a pipeline explosion in san bruno, killing 8 people, injuring 66 and destroying dozens of homes. the ntsb cited repeated safety failures by pg&e as well as less regulation by the puc in this blast. there are two possible fines on the table, 1.4 and $1.6 billion. one of the caveats that pg&e is questioning is not all the money is earmarked

now to roberta. >> i want you to take a good look at this, liza. we have a beautiful sunrise right now occurring over the bay bridge waters here. and we have a few high clouds on the horizon. currently it's a cool start to your day. santa rosa 39 degrees and areas of patchy fog. otherwise in the mid-40s in san jose. 40 degrees in livermore. boy, that's 10 degrees cooler than just 24 hours ago. san francisco is now at 50 degrees. here's what you need to know. heading out on this thursday, we are off to a cool start. but we will end up with a sunnier and warmer day. and then we do have a chance albeit a slim chance, we have a chance of rain returning to the bay area on tuesday. clear skies, clouds drifting from in the south where we see the clouds in the live weather camera looking towards the bay bridge. this is a huge dome of high pressure. it's building in from the eastern pacific and it's nudging closer and closer and closer to the coast. as it does so it will warm up the atmosphere and that's why we will be warmer than yesterday. so we will pan

here's liza with traffic. >> good morning, everybody. we're going to kick off "kcbs traffic" with our first accident of the thursday commute. this problem is along westbound 80 approaching pinole valley road. heads up for this accident possibly blocking one lane of traffic. chp is working to clear it up. we're going to move on to the bay bridge toll plaza where it's looking good. it is wide open at the toll plaza. it's early yet so the metering lights are still off. traffic continues light across the span heading into the city. and if you plan on making the commute to the golden gate bridge, south 101 still looking okay approaching san francisco. we don't have any roadwork or traffic delays for all of marin county. now, we do have roadwork on the san mateo bridge. it's in the westbound direction all the way across the span for about the next 15 minutes or so multiple lanes are shut down for west 92 but you can see from these live pictures traffic is moving along just fine. so despite the accident that we have in the east bay it's looking

liza battalones has traffic. >> it's a mess, treacherous. i was on 280 between the peninsula and san francisco, hydroplaned three times. i was just going 50 miles per hour. so certainly this would be a commute where you're going to want to leave home early. lots of accidents out there beginning with the sunol grade. northbound 680 approaching north mission. it is counter-commute but still blocking three lanes of traffic. this accident involving a big rig which jackknifed blocking three lanes of traffic. you can see traffic very slow approaching the scene. and because of the rain coming down in many areas we are looking at deep standing water with flooding reported in san francisco on the north 101 transition ramp to ease bown 280. two lanes of traffic are flooded. windy across the bay bridge, san mateo bridge and the dumbarton bridge. but the good news, there are no major traffic delays or accidents for the bridges. just give yourself some extra time, slow down. you're going to feel those winds especially if you drive a high-profile vehicle.

liza, weather and traffic definitely hand in hand today. >> that's right. folks finally get to use their windshield wipers this morning although they are sitting in big type delays on the sunol grade. we start off there once again where there's a traffic alert in place. chp asking commuters to steer clear of 680 where they have just reopened one lane of traffic for most of the morning those lanes shut down as crews work to put this jackknifed big, big on a tow truck. looks like they are making some progress with some of the traffic moving past there. still banged up from the auto mall parkway and you're still going to want to use 880 as your alternate to those delays. as weigh move on and check on the san mateo bridge, as we move on, bridge crews are working on an accident just beyond this picture. it happened eastbound 92 at the toll plaza. it's been windy at all bridges. high wind advisories in place for most bay area bridges and major flooding for bay area commutes. we are hearing from the "kcbs phone force" callers that along 280 between john daly and e

liza battalones here.mmute for the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights are on and traffic is backed up from the foot of the maze. once you're on the bridge, traffic flows well getting into san francisco. it's been a rough morning in the silicon valley where the chp still is dealing with two separate accidents both of them on the guadalupe parkway in the northbound direction. so expect delays now just outside the airport from skyport approaching 101. here's roberta. >>> it's a chilly start to the day. we have mostly sunny skies at this hour and we have a few high clouds that continue to stream across the area. right now the umper 30s across most of the north bay. we have the sunshining across the bay bridge and 50 degrees around here, we're all about fast. that's why xfinity is perfect for me. with millions of wifi hotspots all over the place - including one right here at the shop - now we can stream all things fast and furious. you've done it again, carlos! ♪ with the fastest in-home wifi and millio

now i want to turn to liza. heard about the technological developments can you describe for us how the legal framework has or has not kept up with these developments over time? >> sure. first thanks very much to national college of washington of law for hosting this event and having me participate. i think it's pretty clear technology has made it much easier for the government to collect americans' information in massive amounts. even programs that are not only targeted at foreigners overseas are likely to sweep in a huge amount of americans' data, either inadgt qq1e or as they say incidentally. so the logical response to this would be to fortify the protections, the privacy protections for americans in the law but the law has evolved and exactly the opposite direction and indeed since 9/11 there has been a sea change in the law. if you back up a few decades following the church committee's revelations in 1970s there was a series of laws and policies put in place that establish a kind of golden rule. intelligenc
