Wikileaks has published what the whistle blower group claims are thousands of secret cia files that show how u. S. Spies can hack into almost any device people use. Wikileaks says the document shows the cias team of hackers has developed malware thats able to remotely hack into iphones, ipads, Android Devices and smard tvs. Taking video from their cameras and listening with the microphones. The cia is not allowed to spy on americans inside the u. S. , but privacy advocates worry other agencies may be using the same tools. To be worried if theyre being used against nonintelligence targtsz, we should be worried if theyre being used against americans. Every time a place like wikileaks blows our ops, it means that the bad guys evolve and they use countermeasures to defeat the abilities of the United States to spy on them and to track them, to target them and so forth. The white house and cia would not comment on the authenticity of the documents.

It has to be done by the end of next year, so theres no word on when this is going to get done because weve got some duelling lawsuits involving caltrain. So whats the worst Case Scenario . Its what happened in Southern California in 2008 and new jersey last september where people were killed and hurt in crashes that could have potentially been stopped if there was a positive train control system installed. According to courthouse news service, the lawsuit is about that system. Caltrain had to deal with the illinoisbased rail transit contractor parsons to install it on the bay area railway network. Now, basically, the system is designed to overcome human error like conductors being distract, asleep, or traveling too fast and stop the trains in the event of an impending collisions. Caltrain alleges parsons missed the october 25 deadline so they terminated the contract last month and sued the company. Parsons says caltrain is partially responsible for the delays and has turned around and sued caltrain. Most of the installation work has been completed and caltrain says passengers shouldnt be concerned about safety as a result of this delay. Reporting live in san jose, matt keller, abc7 news.

The alleged city council has passed a resolution asking congress to investigate whether to impeach President Trump. The council met late night. City councils have no Actual Authority to call for an impeachment but of course they can send a message. One Council Member said the city has other issues to focus on like affordable housing. Supporters say this, however symbolic, does perhaps create a movement. Understandably, this is just a local measure, but with a republican congress, republican senate, i think you need to get this movement from the ground up. Richmond became the first bay area city to pass a similar resolution two weeks ago. New this morning, hawaii has filed the first lawsuit against the president s new travel ban. Attorneys filed a new 40page request just before midnight last night, asking a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order against the ban. The president signed a ban, banning all refugees for 120 days. Hawaii and the Justice Department are asking the judge to fast track the issue so its heard before it goes into effect a week from tomorrow. An incredible breach at the cia. Wikileaks has published thousands of documents that, if authentic, expose some of the most powerful u. S. Intelligence tools. Officials say the 8700 documents posted on wikileaks appear to be authentic. It includes cia programs with code names like after midnight and brutal kangaroo. Among the revelations, the cia turned ipads, smart phones, even some tvs into recording devices. They could turn it on remotely but it wouldnt put the power light on, so anybody in that room would then be discussing or talking and being monitored without their knowledge or consent. Its a great spy utility. This is just the latest time that wikileaks has humbled the u. S. Government. For the past seven plus years, theyve published hundreds of thousands of classified files from the state department and the pentagon. But this is, in some ways, wikileaks most daring release yet. Experts remind us that anything connected to the internet always has the potential to get hacked. The white house and the cia have not commented on the authenticity of those documents. New details in sundays fastmoving fire in vallejo that destroyed 16 units of the travel inn. Investigators now say the fire started in a downstairs unit. Theyre still trying to determine the exact cause, though. You can see how quickly the flames spread from that unit to one above it where several gallons of gasoline were being stored on the balcony. Officials say vallejo firefighters just happened to participate in training drill at that exact travel inn three weeks before this happened. Today, federal and state assessment teams will continue going door to door in three san jose neighborhoods that were flooded two weeks ago. Heres the deal. San jose is now hearing that damage to private homes from the coyote creek flood may not be enough to meet femas requirements for reimbursement. It looks like federal money may only cover public buildings that were damaged and street cleanup. The city may have to use its own general funds to help victims and to restore infrastructure. The Mayors Relief Fund has raised 6 million so far and that certainly sounds like a lot of money, but consider that the damage is estimated at 73 million. Governor brown is asking President Trump to issue a third major disaster declaration because of damage from januarys big storms. This one would be for the period between january 18 and the 23rd. The two previous requests covered desz and early january. Brown says the storms caused flooding, breached levees and left an estimated 55,000 homes and businesses without power. A disaster declaration makes federal aid available to state and local governments. Happening today, the state Senate Begins considering a bill that could raise gas taxes to fix the states dilapidated roads. It would raise 6 billion by increasing the gas tax up to 12 cents a gallon over three years. The vehicle Registration Fee would go up by 38 bucks and owners of zero emissions vehicles, youre going to have to pay a 100 fee under this plan. The legislation is set to go before the governance and finance committee today and heads to the state legislature in two weeks. Also happening today, San Franciscos Garbage Company wants to raise your rates and you can tell the city what you think about that. Recology wants customers to pay over 16 more for Services Beginning on july 1. That would increase your monthly bills by almost 6. The Company Cites Higher labor costs, Facility Improvements and a new landfill agreement for some of the reasons for the price hikes. You can air your view at city hall from 8 00 to noon. Snoem counonoma county aboua boost from pot. Measure a got a 72 yes vote in yesterdays special election. That measure could generate up 15. 5 million in rune a year.

The bill aims at lowering the voting age in californias constitution. Twothirds of the legislature have to approve the bill for it to advance and then it would be put on the statewide ballot. Supporters say it will give teenagers a political voice and boost voter turnout. And its a frostfree forecast for sure. Look at this. 40s about as cool at it gets in the north bay, and thats rohnert park, where according to waze and alexis, there may be a little bit of patchy fog roaming around.

Sir Francis Drake boulevard at baywood canyon road and if this is sounding familiar, we had a slide mere on monday. Crews were able to get this reopened early yesterday morning and then another slide overnight about 1 00 a. M. And that is video from that. Some trees down, obviously that hillside is unstable. And that is the reason for the closure. So, as soon as i get some new information from marin county public works, as soon as they say its back open, i will definitely pass that along. Lets flip over to our traffic maps now. I want to take you into another problem that we have in marin county. This is southbound 101 around the central san rafael off ramp.

Crash is blocking the left lane, a vehicle is facing the wrong way. That is slowing you down on northbound 288 and southbound 880. Down to 20 and 30 miles an hour. Next traffic update at 5 50.

That did clear about 10, 12 minutes ago so a little bit of a backup remains but those speeds are starting to increase. Also, southbound 880 crash just past the 238 merge. That one cleared up as well so as we zoom out just a bit, these speeds are starting to recover but northbound 238 there about 36 miles an hour and 28 miles an hour. I think that cleared early enough.
