Tonight the Oakland City Council voted to approve a new lease with the as. However, the as are bitter. The Council Approved the tenyear lease extension at the coliseum. However, the as are unhappy that the council modified the deal. The council says it made just minor tweaks. The bottom line, if the as accept the amended deal, it still needs final approval from the county board of supervisors later this month. Now, we should note there is an escape clause in this agreement. The as can leave the Oakland Coliseum as soon as 2018. The team still wants to move to san jose. On the peninsula now, a local ymca is closing soon. Tonight an overflow crowd demanded answers. Why is their y shutting down after 35 years . Nbc bay areas Terry Mcsweeney is in palo alto. Terry, the twist here, there is another ymca close by that is still open. So what is the problem . Well, the problem is this. The people who like to go to the one here on page mill road really like this facility. It caters to a more mature crowd, and they like that. What they dont like is the way the y arrived at and then announced this unpopular decision. If youre looking to work up a sweat in palo alto, you can come to the y on page mill road, or be a y executive at this meeting tonight and take the heat from more than 200 members who dont want their y closed. Frustrated and pretty disgusted. Its like theyre taking our community and theyre chopping it up into little bits. So thats why i think were so upset. Reporter it seemed clear while officials did not see this firestorm coming when they announced this facility would be closing on october 1. They presented it as a fait accompli. None of our input was taken. Reporter its painfully just a matter of dollars and sense. The renovation that is going to be required to renew a tenyear branch and keep the branch sustainable over the ten years is more than we could afford to pay. Reporter to improve the current facility would cost about 3. 5 million. The gym would be closed about five months and its believed many members would leave and never return. And jordan points to the other ys available nearby. Three within seven miles. The close nest palo alto, just two and a half miles away. Ross road is really crowded. It also has lots and lots of children in it. Its very hard to get a machine. Its also very hard to park. Reporter there is another y about four miles away in east palo alto. A friend of mine went. And she was a little uncomfortable over there. Reporter what was the problem over there . Its a high crime rate. We have to make these tough decisions from time to time. And that one was especially painful. Reporter and this tough decision seems like its one that is going to stand. The y showing no signs of giving. Not open to any of the suggestions that the people were making tonight. So as of october 1, the y here on page mill, and its been here for 35 years, will be gone. Live in palo alto, Terry Mcsweeney, nbc bay area news. Not guilty. A highpriced call girl accused in a manslaughter case of a google executive entered that plea in a santa clara courthouse today. Prosecutor says Surveillance Video shows Alix Tichelman injecting the victim with a lethal dose of heroin and then watching casually, even drinking wine as Forrest Hayes died. Tichelmans Attorney Says she has no motive because he was a consistent customer. He was a lucrative source of income to her. She appreciated his generosity. Tichelman is charged with manslaughter and other drug offenses. Prosecutors say a murder charge could depend on a renewed investigation. Tichelmans boyfriend died last year, also of a heroin overdose. 11yearold and robbed at knifepoint over a bicycle. Santa clara police are hoping Surveillance Video will help catch a kiddie robber. Look at the video. It shows the alleged robber and his friend near a 7eleven Near Washington Elementary School last week. Police say the suspect is the guy wearing the gray baseball cap. After leaving the 7eleven, the suspect allegedly threatened the 11yearold with a knife, taking his bike and then riding off with it. So what now . Death row might be a thing of the past. A federal judge struck down californias Death Penalty, calling it unconstitutional. There are more than 700 inmates on death row at san quinten in the bay area. But this the past 35 years, only 13 people have been executed. The judge says executions are so rare and uncertain that it has become its own form of cruelty for inmates. The Death Penalty in america is cruel and unusual in the same sense that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual. Victim advocates are fuming over the decision. They want a referendum from voters that would fix the broken Death Penalty system. Todays ruling has Immediate Impact on executions statewide. They have stopped since 2006 because of problems with lethal injections. Well, it could be a local answer for a national crisis. Bring them here. Thats the message from south bay lawmakers for the thousands of immigrant children caught in the middle of a national debate. The south bay congressional delegation sent a letter to federal authorities alerting them that the children are welcome in santa clara county. Since october, thousands of kids and their mothers have traveled from Central America to the united states. As they await the Legal Process to be sent back home, many of them have faced protesters like in the town of murrieta near riverside. Our objective is to make sure that if the federal government is in need of support, that the county is prepared to offer it in the most humane and dignified way that we can. Today a San Jose Church packed up boxes with donations for groups in Southern California who are helping the undocumented families. A grim new reality for the new bay bridge. A driver jumped off the span to his death this morning. And tonight its raising questions about Suicide Prevention on the new span. Nbc bay areas jean elle is live near the bridge with more on what happened and what could happen next. And jean, its always been the golden gate, which has been a magnet for suicides. But now this new span . Reporter well, jessica, the rails up there on the new span of the bay bridge are low enough for drivers to see over and enjoy the view. Theyre also low enough for people to hop over. And Suicide Prevention advocates say its a dangerous design. Im more than a little appalled. Simply because its so easy to raise a rail. Reporter dana and mark say its an outrage the new eastern span of the bay bridge doesnt include suicide barriers. The east bay couple is part of the bridge rail foundation. The group advocating for a suicide net on the Golden Gate Bridge. Their son matthew jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge to his death in 2007. They say the new bay bridge with its walkway and low rails provides the same access. Im not at all surprise. The bay bridge has a history of suicides. So its just it was just a matter of time. Reporter the chp says the man was driving westbound on the new span around 9 30 this morning. He pulled over on the shoulder and hopped the rail. Security workers monitoring cameras dispatched an officer who arrived in seven minutes. Stopping his car at the center divide, climbing over the bridge railing and walking the platform to the opposite lanes, running through the lanes of the opposite traffic, putting himself at great risk to get there in time. Reporter the chp was not able to stop the man. The whitmers say higher rails probably would have. Make it so they cant climb. How hard is that . Thats the frustrating part. If you do it when youre constructing the bridge, its going to cost so much less than doing it after the fact. Weve learned that with the Golden Gate Bridge. Reporter the metropolitan supports installing a suicide net on the golden gate. The Agency Spokesperson says Suicide Prevention was considered in a design phase of the bay bridge. You cant build a bridge in the bay area and have the golden gate next door and have the subject not come up. Reporter but barriers were not included. Now with a confirmed suicide and an attempted suicide in january, a new conversation may begin. I think its something that were going to take under advisement. Reporter now tonight the San Francisco medical examiner is not releasing the name of the man who died when he jumped from the bridge. If you or someone you know needs help, the Suicide Prevention hotline number is on your screen. Reporting live on treasure island, jean elle, nbc bay area news. Jean, thank you.

Thankfully, between standing between two people so she didnt hit the pavement. Reporter heidi had a brain aneurysm. The 33yearold mother of two was then flown to Stanford Medical Center for surgery.

Thousands of people are expected to run with the bulls next weekend at the Alameda County fairgrounds in pleasanton. However, Animal Rights groups are butting heads with the great bull run. They filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop the event, claiming the bulls are victims of animal cruelty. The reason that theyre running is out of fear and stress. And to force an animal to do that just for a fleeting adrenaline rush is wrong. And to say that herding bulls causes them stress and makes them unhealthy, that would mean that every cowboy in the world is guilty of animal abuse. The run may go on as planned.
