Welfare of the workers. I dont mind my obstructions. Reporter but most people disagree. 54 say workers should accept managements offer and kahlil eden gives his reason why. Because you getting paid enough to make it so far. Maybe you should get another job or go part time. Reporter tough words but with a second strike looming, many riders are tired of figuring out a plan b to get around the bay area. The poll shows many will drive likely clogging up the roads. Only 11 will work from home. If bart strikes, alex says he will take a shuttle but isnt going to like it. You guys need to get your act together. Fix this and dont go on strike. Reporter so we did a similar poll all the way back in august on this looming bart strike. Honestly, the dial hasnt moved all that much since then. Even back then, the majority of people favored management over the bart workers. Live in fremont, mark kelly, kpix 5. Well have continuing coverage of the strike threat on kpix. Com. And right here on kpix 5 as well including another live report thats coming up at 6 30 with the very latest on the ongoing negotiations. Tomorrow, we will have a special extended edition of our kpix 5 morning show because of that possible strike and our coverage will begin a half hour earlier for you at 4 a. M. Pacific time. We have a Traffic Alert right now for this evenings commute. An injury accident backing up traffic eastbound across the bay bridge. Block at the berkeley curve. Faculty and staff at a Bay Area University will not cover abortions and others could follow suit. Mark sayre is live in santa clara with why those affected are so upset. Mark. Reporter well, elizabeth, this letter from the University President said, after reviewing the Affordable Care act and also california law, the university is allowed to drop abortion coverage from its insurance plans. There are 1600 faculty and Staff Members at Santa Clara University impacted by this change. But cast in the shadow of a National Debate about healthcare reform, history professor nancy unger says those affected should have had input. People have strong feelings on both sides of this issue. But many of us are upset. Reporter professor unger says for her family, this will also be a change that is very personal. My daughter, for example, is on my insurance plan. She is 20 years old. And so she will be on my plan for the next six years. Reporter last week, the University President sent this letter to employees which says, our core commitments as a Jesuit Catholic University are not compatible with the inclusion of abortion coverage in the universitys health plans. We will continue to cover therapeutic abortions, contraception and other forms of Reproductive Healthcare mandated by the state of california. So i find it particularly, uhm, sadly ironic that just as pope francis has been saying stop in his term the obsession with abortion, we see this, you know, taking away of coverage that had been there before. Reporter and more changes could be on the way. In a statement, moragas Saint Marys College says, in light of the recent developments at Loyola Marymount university and Santa Clara University, the college is reviewing the essential benefits requirement under california law. Saint marys will continue to assess and develop its policies to reflect its commitment to its catholic mission. Reporter now, Loyola Marymount university, that is in Southern California, trustees this week decided to eliminate elective abortion coverage for faculty and staff there although in Southern California they will be begin an option at their own expense to buy the coverage if they want to. So this is happening in universities all over california and the nation. Do we have any idea, mark, of why all of this is happening now . Is it everything to do with obamacare . Reporter the short answer is we dont know. I can tell you what was said here at scu. They said that theres a fresh review of the plans under way and they also cited some teachings by pope francis to engage in what he called difficult dialogue over these sensitive subjects such as abortion. So thats as close as we can get to the answer of specifically why you know why all these universities at the same time. We just dont know. Thank you. San francisco is famous for its bare knuckles politics and a November Ballot fight unofficially kicked off today as allen martin shows us. Its already getting a little nasty. I believe that yes on b offers a sweet deal for the city. Reporter that was the message inside the yes on b headquarters today. Outside, the message was quite different. No on b and c reporter prop b looks to be the end game in a sevenyear fight over a Waterfront Development called 8 washington, a 134unit luxury condo project that would be built on the site of a private health club and the small parking lot. Replacing a fence and a parking lot well designed project that will have retail, that will have pedestrian amenities, is exactly what this part of the waterfront needs. Reporter one objection has been that prop b gives developers an exemption from the citys 84foot waterfront height restrictions. They would raise waterfront height limits to twice the height of the old embarcadero freeway that used to block this part of the bay. Reporter like so many stories in the bay area these days, this dispute is about wealth and access. And on that point, the two sides see this property very differently. I want this is waterfront of our city of San Francisco to be accessible to everybody, not just the few and privileged that today we see across the street. Its a private club. Ultraluxury condos that would cost an average of 5 million each. Who can afford that . Reporter they even disagree on what really qualifies as a legitimate park. It will create another park space for our children.

Professional obstructionists. Reporter so with 26 days until the vote groups are taking sides in a fight over one very valuable piece of property. Smart planners, housing and park advocates, bay preservationists. Democratic party the sierra club, the neighborhood groups. Reporter in San Francisco, allen martin, kpix 5.

Investigators tell the family spokesman they have already ruled out foul play in the death of 57yearold lynn spalding. Spalding was found tuesday in a hospital stairwell after disappearing september 19. The Spokesman Says the family is grateful for mayor lees attention to the case. The family is completely seed with the satisfied with the mayors involvement. [ inaudible ] this should not have happened. We all agree and we want to prevent this from ever happening again.

In livingston, Andrea Menniti, kpix 5. Some of the chicken has been pulled but other stores are still selling it tonight. So unfortunately, we are so shut down by the government.

A new report by the coalitn of National Park service re parks with the partial Government Shutdown reaching its tenth day, National Parks are suffering the consequences of a new report say National Parks are losing 76 million in visitor spending each day the shutdown continues.

Reporter the horse at five brooks ranch a private company are getting restless. Its been 10 days now since they have carried riders on trails in the Point Reyes National seashore. Unfortunately, we are slut down by the government right now so we are sitting here every day because we have to be here to feed them, maintain, medicate, clean the horses. We are sitting here losing money every day or the ranch cant survive without customers. It has a reserve built up but that is disappearing. A load every hay arrived this afternoon and a load of hay arrived this afternoon and will last about 3 months. The biggest financial strain we ever experienced. Not even september 11 put such a enormous financial strain on us. Reporter sally is a regular customer. She went around the park Service Barriers to visit her favorite horse. And she isnt pleased.

A house is usually the largest purchase people make in their lifetimes but how much time do you spend in it before you make a decision . Kpix 5s john ramos on a new idea letting potential home buyers try before they buy. You have a formal dining room here. Reporter vinnie is helping to sell this home in the small town of kensington north of berkeley. The house had a quarter Million Dollars in upgrades including Hardwood Floors and new kitchen. But the street outside is narrow with little parking. And he knows this area might not be for everyone. There are buyers now that want to get the feel of the neighborhood since theyre from the bay area, they want to come over here and see whats it like, whats oakland like . Whats berkeley like . Reporter so the sellers are employing a new idea in real estate. They are allowing buyers to make an accepted offer to spend time just to get the feel of the place. To see if they like the neighborhood. Reporter buyers could get feedback from friends or family by holding a dinner and cocktail gathering. The realtor agrees the idea of a tryout would probably be attractive to young social media types. I think it would appeal to a small but Significant Group of people, you know, who are very social, especially if its an entertaining kind of house. Reporter what if the try before buy house isnt in the ideal neighborhood like this one in North Oakland . The seller still benefits because a reticent buyer would probably back out sooner meaning a house spends less time off the market. Manuen says its in everybodys interests for there to be no regrets. Were offering a test drive on a house. Thats what we call it a test drive. Reporter think of it as a chance to kick the tires on the american dream. In kensington, john ramos, kpix 5.

Last week a San Mateo County judge ordered a natural gas pipeline in san carlos to be shut down over concerns about cracks and corrosion but city leaders are still questioning their safety. Line 147 runs under busy britain avenue near homes, churches and playgrounds of don knapp on the citys plea to the state Public Utilities commission now. Don. Reporter pg e insists that line 147 has been tested to industry standards and is safe. But san carlos Officials Say pg es own internal memos raise questions that have yet to be answered. Not content with pg es assurance that the pipe is safe, the San Carlos City manager mayor, vice mayor, fire chief, police chief, City Attorney and public works director all came to the california Public Utilities commission for help. At this point in time, we reporter the trouble with at this point in time, we dont have enough information from pg e to feel that the pipeline is safe. Reporter in the weeks since san carlos leaders were shown an internal email warning of safety concerns with pipeline 147 they have been moving fast to shut it down driven by the nightmare possibility of fire and gas erupting from the pipe under britain avenue. Like the explosion and fire that killed eight and destroyed dozens of homes in san bruno in september of 2010. San carlos got a court order to shut it down and demanded pg e inspect and repair the pipe, if necessary. I think while the line is shut down, the crisis is over. Reporter today officials left the meeting with cpuc say they are encouraged and hope the questions about the pipe will be answered. What its made out of, how old is it, was it damaged by the pressure testing, if so to what extent, and thats going to drive the type of solutions that are available to our community.

Verge of suffering through a second bart now at 6 30 with just 5. 5 hours until the coolingoff period officially ends, were on the verge of suffering through a second bart strike. Bart has a new deal on the table but will it spark a compromise. Ryan takeo with word on whats going on inside the negotiations. Reporter they have been in the negotiation room for the last five hours and have just gone to dinner. They started about 1 30. The pace of negotiations according to Union Members has been very slow. Within the last hour we just talked to a union member and we asked him specifically about tomorrow mornings commute. If i had some news i would be telling everybody i could. Reporter what needs to happen. We would need to see some significant movement. Again, we were getting close tuesday night. We would love to see that kind of movement. And we havent seen it yet. Reporter the unions were talking about what bart says was a miscommunication with the numbers. The unions complained that bart pulled the rug out. Either way, we are hours away from that coolingoff period deadline. And there is no deal. But i want to remind you that just in case we do reach that midnight deadline, thats not that does not necessarily mean that there will be a strike tomorrow. The unions have said that they would like to give some sort of notice to the public if there is going to be a strike. And were still waiting for that. Well continue to stay here all throughout the night and bring you the latest as it develops. Back to you. All right, ryan, thank you. Well be on scene until negotiations end tonight. Stick with kpix 5 and kpix. Com for continuing coverage of the bart strike threat. And tomorrow, well have a special extended edition of our kpix 5 morning show because of that possible strike. Our coverage begins a half hour earlier at 4 a. M. The news that congress could pull through and raise the debt ceiling in time sparked a huge rally on wall street today. The dow had its second biggest gain of the year adding 323 points. The nasdaq and s p 500 both shot up more than 2 . Cbs reporter Danielle Nottingham joins us now live from washington, d. C. , where House Republicans and what they are saying was a pretty productive meeting with president obama today. Danielle. Reporter yeah, ken. They met for 90 minutes at the white house. And House Republicans came out saying the president didnt tell them no but he also didnt say yes. House republicans returned to the capital after their sitdown with the president without announcing a deal. But they are still working with the white house on a way to end the standoff. The president said that he would go and consult with the administration folks and hopefully we can see a way forward. Reporter gop leaders took a proposal to the white house that includes extending the governments ability to borrow money until november 22 in exchange for broader budget negotiations. Earlier in the day the white house suggested the president was open to the idea. A clean bill raising the debt ceiling for six weeks were to hit his desk, he would sign that. Reporter the treasury secretary came to capitol hill thursday to warn lawmakers there would be irrevocable damage to the economy if they failed to raise the debt limit by october 17. Democrats have concerns about another short term fix. For however long it is, five, six weeks, then come thanksgiving, we are going to be back in the soup again. Reporter republicans say granting a debt limit extension would lead to negotiations to reopen the government. We are meeting the president halfway. And we expect him in like manner to respond. Reporter hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been off the job without pay since october 1st. And Senate Republicans are expected to meet with the president at the white house tomorrow. Live on capitol hill, Danielle Nottingham, kpix 5. Danielle, it seems like all eyes are on raising the debt ceiling right now but these are two kind of separate but intertwined issues. What about the shutdown . Any word on ending that . Reporter and thats where the problem may lie here. The offer that was brought to the president today only sets open a conference to discuss negotiations and budget issues to reopen the government. And again, the president s just looking for a clean bill to re open the government and raise the debt limit. Senate democrats are working on some legislation that does that and also today Senate Republicans have a lot of meetings amongst themselves ahead of this meeting at the white house tomorrow so perhaps they were also talking about a way to get closer to reopening the government but right now it seems the House Republicans are focused just on the debt limit and then having negotiations before they will reopen the government. And the strategizes continues on both sides of the aisle. Danielle nottingham live in washington, d. C. For us, thank you. Money meant to beef up the police force. Instead its going to gravel. Why a bay area city in desperate need of Police Officers is spending millions of dollars instead to pave streets. Corinthian colleges was actually serving not as an educator but as a predator. How the state attorney general says a for Profit College is deceiving and preying on low income californians. ,,,,,,, initially intended. The cit vallejo planned to use that money to put more streets. Kpix5 millions of dollars meant to help a bay area city fight crime isnt going where it was initially intended. The city of vallejo planned to use that money to put more Police Officers on the streets. Da lin on where its going instead. Reporter many people in vallejo say crime is so bad over the years, that they have taken matters into their own hands. I have a gun in my bedroom. I lock myself into my bedroom. I have the gun right by my bed. Reporter someone kicked down lynndalynns gate. She said Police Called it a low priority crime. Its like youre living on your own. Reporter she knows the department is understaffed but wonders why since the money is there. Its ridiculous. Reporter instead of spending the 2. 5 million set aside for new officers, the city will be paving streets. I cant hire the officers fast enough. Reporter the chief says there just arent enough qualified candidates. Simply saying we can just hire a bunch of people like were going to hire people to work in mcdonalds tomorrow, it doesnt work. There are a lot of other agencies out there that are looking for Police Officers and so were competing with other agencies. Reporter the Police Officers union doesnt buy that explanation. It claims the city could have come up with competitive compensation packages too attract the new officers. Whats more important, to fill the pothole in the street or put more cops on the street . Reporter vallejo has 83 cops today. Thats half of what it had before the city went bankrupt five years ago. And folks like lynn say that number has got to go up soon. The need is so great, the hell with the streets. Reporter in vallejo, im da lin. Kpix 5. In 2011, vallejo voters approved a sales tax increase setting aside the 2. 5 million each year for the hiring of new Police Officers. A californiabased college sued by the state attorney general. How she says the for the Profit School targets and deceives vulnerable californians. And october usually brings with it some of the best weather in the bay area all year round. Will we live up to our reputation . I have your forecast coming up. ,,, country. To court. Over cs of false adverti the state is taking on one of the biggest forProfit Colleges in the country to court over claims of false advertising and fraud. Julie watts on the expensive toll the Career Training programs are having on the most vulnerable students. Youre sitting on the couch watching tv. You want more from your life . Reporter the ads promise a Better Future and steady job but californias attorney general says the forProfit Schools behind these ads are actually leaving students worse off. In some programs, not one single student obtains a job coming out of that program. Reporter so the state filed suit against corinneant Corinthian Colleges accusing it of fraud and deception. It was serving not as an educator but as a predator of some of the most Vulnerable People in the community. Reporter how vulnerable . The suit says corinthianss internal documents describes the schools target consumer as isolated impatient individuals with low selfesteem who have few people who care about them and their lives work in the corporate world with a business degree. Reporter the suit accuses the schools of lying about job placement rates even having temp agencies hire some graduates for just a few days. As we know being employed with a temporary agency is not permanent employment. Reporter the schools are also accused of advertising vocational programs they dont offer and illegally using u. S. Military seals in advertising to attract veterans. They were targeting our veterans knowing that veterans come with money for their ongoing education. Reporter meanwhile, corinthians 27 campuses in california all remain open while students get a lesson that could take a long time to forget. The job placement rate they said was 90 if not higher. Reporter corinthians says it is disappointed in the suit because the school has been, quote, cooperating with the investigation. Now, the attorney general says one goal of the suit is to help current and former students get refunds. We put more resources for students on our web page at kpix. Com. So students would have to contact the university then if they want the refund. Reporter head to our web page for more resources. Thank you. All options still on the table this hour for bart and its unions. That means come midnight, there could be a strike. We dont have that indication right now. We want to get out to ryan takeo who has been following every step in the negotiations in oakland. Still very fluid out there im guessing, ryan. Yeah, definitely, ken. In the past 10 minutes, i got off the phone with a bart spokesman. He says that right now both sides are taking a dinner break. He admits that the pace is very slow right now especially considering were about five hours away from a midnight deadline for the coolingoff period. This bart Spokesman Says that bart is still presenting a new proposal the we thought that was going to be happening throughout the afternoon but apparently theres been some back and forth. While both sides think that there is enough time to get a deal done, the way its going right now ill tell you, id be skeptical. Talks can continue past midnight though. Just because its the end of the coolingoff period doesnt mean there will be a strike. And the unions say that they would like to give some notice that could be tonight or tomorrow mornings commute but so far, we just talked to one of the Union Members within the last hour and he said so far there hasnt been a decision made on that. We are going to stay here throughout the night. Christin ayers is going to take over and she will have updates throughout the evening and at 10 00 and 11 00. Back to you. All right. I have to give credit to the commuters because they are a lot smarter than both the union in this particular case and bart management. They are going to do what they need to do to make sure they get to work tomorrow. We are going to help them out by providing updates all through the evening until negotiations you say stop tonight. Ryan takeo in oakland with the very latest. Thank you, ryan. Still up in the air on tomorrow mornings commute but the weather is going to be beautiful. The weather will not be playing a role in dampening tomorrow mornings commute although it make take you longer to get to work anyway. Plenty of sunshine continuing although well see a few more clouds overnight and for the first part of tomorrow. Lets go ahead and take a look at kpix 5 hidef doppler. And as you can see, no sign of rain. No sign of rain for the foreseeable future. In fact, as you know, this time of year is really the most beautiful in the bay area. And we are holding that tradition. Take a look at this. High pressure continuing to build in really over the nex week or so meaning plenty of sunshine. The only change we are really going to see over the next 24 hours a few clouds inland. But for the most part, a little warmer the story tomorrow and continuing on for the next 7 days. Futurecast shows some coastal clouds this evening and they will fill in along the coast and by the bay. Even making their way through the delta and inland near fairfield and concord tomorrow morning but as we move into the afternoon hours they dissipate quickly and plenty of sunshine for you. Temperatures warming up areawide. Your pinpoint forecast tomorrow, statewide forecast showing temperatures near 79 degrees in fresno, 77 sacramento, 61 eureka. 62 in lake tahoe. Areawide temperatures staying nice and mild for you. And again for the most part inland temperatures topping out in the upper 70s. We are near 70 degrees for the warmest spots by the bay and then a few more clouds along the coast low 60s along the coast for you tomorrow. On the weekend bumping the temperatures up by about a degree or so each day as we move on through saturday and on into sunday. Even a little more so for early next week. So were talking low 80s for the warmest spots inland monday and tuesday. And looking at temperatures in the low 80s really continuing through the extended forecast. So plenty of sunshine october really is one of the nicest times of the area here in the bay area and we are living up to our reputation. Looking for something to do this weekend .

Anything you do for this weekend and even on into next week not going to be hampered at all by the weather.

Reporter yeah, ken. Its very, very busy. The as are playing to my immediate right. And over here, as you can see, im appropriately dressed, pink as a concert for pink begins at 7 30. The season is going to end for either the as or the tigers this evening. But over in the south bay it was opening day for the pga tour season. Opening up in october as their newest season starts in san martin. Not everybody was ready to start the season at cordevalle. Only one of the tours top 30 players in this weeks field. Jeff overton shot a bogeyfree round of 64 giving him a one shot lead over brian haren. Now, theyre not going to worry about converting the field here for baseball back to football. The as are in kansas city a place where they have won 7 straight games. They will be there this sunday. But these chiefs are going to have a much different look with andy reed taking over as head coach and alex smith as quarterback. Doesnt that sound familiar . Despite being 50, alex smith is not getting a ton of the credit for the teams turnaround. Someone called you a game manager. Do you cringe . No, i dont pay any attention to that stuff.
