6 lets check in with liz for eck on our morning good tuesday morning, everyone. Im frank mallicoat. Im michelle griego. Time now 6 01. Lets check in with liz find out how were doing on the highways and byways. And we are scanning twitter for the very latest information and we got kcbs traffic tweeting away about the metering lights over at the bay bridge. So you can see, it is suddenly really crowded trying to get into San Francisco. The metering lights were turned on a few minutes before 5 45. They often turn them off. 5 41 this morning so you are already stacked up close to the maze. Also, a lot of commuters trying to get out of the Altamont Pass. We had an earlier accident near the truck scales. Westbound 580 heavy from 205 straight to North Livermore avenue and sluggish to the dublin interchange. I mentioned that earlier accident. Still reportedly out there, westbound highway 4 approaching willow pass. Not seeing any delay on our sensors, though, all of it is farther east right there at hillcrest to a street. You can see all the slowdowns coming into antioch. Mass transit we had some troubles yesterday. So far not the case this morning. Were off to a great start with all mass transit. Thats your latest kcbs drive to work. What should we wear to work . You actually have people tweeting you about traffic . I do, the latest earns can, checking chp reports online. I feel left out. I need people to tweet me about weather. There you go. Ill retweet you. [ laughter ] good morning, rise and shine. Out the door this morning, this is what you need to know. We have air temperatures currently 50s and 60s, across the board. The winds are slight at 10 miles per hour. Good morning, napa. In the 50s. 56 degrees in concord and clayton. Today slightly warmer than yesterday but not as warm pass tomorrow. 60s beaches and in San Francisco. 78 degrees in san jose and mid to high 80s in the east bay. 90 gilroy. 90s through the weekend. Back to you. Thank you. 6 03. We are going to find out what new products will be at the apple store soon. Kpix 5s keit do is in the center of it all in cupertino, which right now is tech universe big time. I bet you got a Little Company down there, too, dont you . Reporter yeah. Check this out. Were talking about 75 yards or so full of International Media here to cover this huge day for apple. If you pan to the right you see this big tent. We are thinking this is where the demos and hands on experiences will be with the products they are launching today. Panning to the right there, brian, that is flint center. Thats where everybody is going to be in just a couple of hours here. The fact that were at the flint center is significant because apple typically comes bang here for major product announcements. Think of the mac and imac bowed announced here originally. Experts think it will be historic for apple whatever it is. Apple is widely expected to unveil a wearable device which some people call the iwatch. It might be able to do things like track your health and control devices in your home. The company will also likely announce not one but two new phones. The current iphone 5s has a 4 screen but evidence is pointing to a 4. 7 and 5. 5 screen they are calling it the iphone 6. These bigger screens have been nicknamed phablets which is a cross between a phone and tablet. And then theres technology called Near Field Communication or nfc which allows nearby devices to talk to one another and do things like transfer money or unlock a door. Analysts think they will be merged together. While, yes, i could pull out my iphone and i believe the iphone will have nfc as well, but i think a wearable has a level of convenience that consumers just have never tried. And once they try it, they will be hooked. Reporter so tim was talking about an experience he had at disneyland where he had a wristwatch kind of a thing where it allowed him to unlock his hotel room, pay for refreshments, fastpasses for the rides. He is thinking thats where apple goes where you get an iwatch with the Nfc Technology built in. We are thinking iphones will ship in september and the watch in january. I didnt get a credentialed pass. Im not going inside. Thats for fancier reporters if you will. But, you know, thats how it goes here. They only allow two crew members from each station. They have 2400 seats inside. So very limited seating but pretty big event for them. Live near cupertino, kiet do, kpix 5. President obama will speak to the nation tomorrow about a new mission to combat isis militants in iraq and syria. The president plans to release details of the Counter Terror plan to key lawmakers today. Analysts believe the plan will not commit u. S. Troops to a ground war. I think you need a Strategic Plan laid out that the American People can see and buy into. Secretary of state john kerry is heading to the middle east today to help form an International Coalition to defeat isis. And icy is threatening twitter employees isis is threatening twitter employees calling for assassination of workers of the company. The tweets come as twitter shuts down accounts related to the group. One of the tweets read, the time has arrived to respond to twitters management by directly attacking their employees and physically assassinating them. Today marks four years since the deadly pg e pipeline explosion that killed eight people in san bruno. Kpix 5s ryan takeo joins us live in san bruno with an update on the citys ongoing recovery. Reporter hi, frank. September 9 a tough day here in san bruno especially here in the crestmoor neighborhood. This afternoon there will be a ceremony to honor the eight victims who died four years ago today. Now, as far as the rebuilding process, the city says that there are still 10 empty lots that still need to be rebuilt. And they expect that to happen in the next year or so. 24 houses have been rebuilt. Four of the eight families who lost loved ones here are still in the neighborhood. The citys mayor has been relentlessly an advocate for Pipeline Safety reform since it happened. At a press conference he continued to call out pg e and its ceo. It was not an accident. And we are outraged by his prolonged refusal to take responsibility for killing eight of our citizens. It is time for pg e to stop calling this an accident and accept the level of penalty as proposed. Reporter pg e plans to appeal the cpucs 1. 4 billion dollar fine. That was levied last week. Much of that money will go to the states general fund. During the press conference san brunos mayor demanded that the money go to a Pipeline Safety trust fun. Ryan, what is pg e saying about why its appealing that big fine. Reporter i talked to a spokesman yesterday and basically he says that the Company Thinks that the 1. 4 billion is too steep. So thats why the company is appealing. It says its taking responsibility and is in a partnership with the city of san bruno but the city says that thats not true, that the company is not taking the right amount of responsibility. Live in san bruno, im ryan takeo, kpix 5. A pilot from san jose is dead after a crash at the Reno NationalChampionship Air races. 64yearold lee behel was a retired Fighter Pilot and winner of the reno events fourth class competition in 2008. Organizers say he was flying solo in a qualifying heat yesterday when the accident happened at the reno stead airport. He had taken part in the races over the past two decades. One of the favorite pilots out here, everybody enjoyed him. He was very enthusiastic and really talented pilot. So its a hard day. Investigators have not yet determined why the experimental gp5 aircraft crashed. Witnesses on the ground say there appear to be some sort of mechanical failure. No one else was injured. The reno event was the scene of an Even Deadlier crash three years ago. Then a pilot and ten spectators were killed when a small plane crashed into the grandstand. Faulty screws caused parts of the plane to fail. Some fresh search dogs have been working near cupertino as teams continue looking for a Mountain Lion in the hills nearby. Dogs were exhausted from the search in the rugged terrain yesterday. They are tracking a Mountain Lion that pounced on a 6year old boy on sunday and if they catch it and identify it, the cat will be put to death. If we can conclusively determine that this is the animal or that an animal we catch is the animal that attacked this child it will be euthanized. The boy who was attacked is now out of the hospital. The trails where it happened are still closed now to the public. Bodies of two malaysians killed in the downing of flight mh17 were brought home. The remains arrived in kuala lumpur yesterday. There were 43 malaysians on the flight. 298 people were killed when the plane was brought down in eastern ukraine. A new report from the Dutch Safety Board says the plane was likely struck by high Energy Objects from outside. 6 10. Recordbreaking rainfall and flash flooding turned life threatening in the southwest. A look at the flooded roads and damaged cars. Brown lawns, dry fountains, now californias drought emergency is going digital. The California Water challenge coming up next. From the kpix 5 weather center, good morning. Today will certainly be warmer than yesterday but not quite as warm as tomorrow. The full forecast straight ahead. We just got word from chp that they have cleared this accident on highway 4. Its slow from antioch to concord. The latest on your drive to work coming up. We want to know what drives you crazy during your commute. Ask a question or share a gripe by emailing crazy kpix. Com.

To meet the increasing happening today, the water challenge will go live online. Its an online game that lets citizens create a unique plan to meet the increasing demand on the water supply. Players will have to weigh the pros and cons, costs of various solutions, everything from desalinization, investments to mandatory water production. It is 6 13. Desalinization. There you go. Oh, well. Thats hard to say at this hour. I know. I have simple words like accidents, highway 4. Lets go out to highway 4. Its actually a lot slower than normal, unfortunately, that accident willow pass no delay on the sensors and then suddenly they cleared it. They made all lanes open. That was the latest word from chp but look at that. Backup from hillcrest to a street and then out to about past willow past really sluggish. There may be a stall somewhere in the backup near pittsburg approaching railroad. Im getting some reports of that blocking one lane. So thats probably the worst commute outside now. Bay bridge backed up through the maze. Metering lights have been on since 5 41 this morning. So yeah, its kind of a grind to get into San Francisco. Nothing too unusual here though. The eastshore freeway approach looks good 20 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze. Westbound 580 not seeing much slowing yet maybe halfway towards 24. Richmond san rafael bridge this looks great. This approach no delay all the way into marin county from richmond. And 880 is another bright spot heading between the Oakland Coliseum and downtown. Thats your latest kcbs drive to work. Lets check in with our forecast once again. Looks nice. Good morning. We do have lots of cloud cover but its relatively a very high ceiling so youre able to see all those beautiful lights on the span of the bay bridge this morning. And if you are heading out currently mild temperatures in the 50s and now oakland at 61 degrees. West winds at 7 miles per hour. Heres what you need to know on this 9th day of the month. It will be warmer today than yesterday with earlier burnoff and well begin to see above normal temperatures. I have that sevenday forecast still in the offering. Futurecast clearly illustrates we are socked in now into the trivalley now, mostly cloudy there. 2 00 in the afternoon San Francisco is clear, the avenues have cleared out, burnoff around the sunset district. We have some clouds playing tag with inverness and bolinas and Stinson Beach but thats about it. Otherwise the clouds filter back onshore later on tonight. But this ceiling is roughly about 1800 feet at this hour. And in comparison yesterday it was 2,000 feet. So we will see the earlier burnoff. This right here, huge dome of high pressure. That continues to nudge its way east. As does so, warmer drier air mass today all the way through the end of the workweek. Triple digits again in fresno, merced, modesto. Low 70s in monterey bay, back in through big sur just glorious there upper 50s at the coast in mendocino low 80s in the greater lake tahoe area. And 73 degrees in yosemite at half dome with slight winds. Sunup at 6 44. By the time the sun sets tonight, well have realized temperatures 60s beaches, 60s, 70s bayside, mid80s inland. The extended forecast shows gradual warming and 90s every day. Looking good. Yeah. Not too bad, roberta. All right. Thank you. Brutal new video forces the nfl to get tough on Baltimore Ravens star ray rice. The punishment from the nfl and what it means for other players facing abuse allegations. And im dennis odonnell.

Flowers again in the extra inning. This time off chavez a walkoff homer. White sox win 54. Thats nine losses in the past 11 games for the as. So oaklands wild card lead is down to one game over victorious seattle. U. S. Open mens final between Kei Nishikori and marin cilic. First time in nearly a decade that the final didnt feature federer, djokovic or nadal. Cilic in the far court got the backhand winner at match point. Cilic wasnt even in the field last year while serving a drug suspension yesterday, he beats nishikori in straight sets. I do have a football note for you. Lamichael james 49er runningback asked for and was granted his release from the San Francisco 49ers. He had fallen down the depth chart. He will go to another team. A little more on tonights 6 00 news. Have a great day. Play of the day, a little monday night football. Two games last night. We got giants and lions and a tough start for mr. Eli manning here. The giants quarterback gets picked here nearly off the turf by detroit. Just manages to get the ball and a runback. The giants beat in detroit last night, 3514, thanks part to play of the day. Runningback ray rice has been cut by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended by the nfl in the wake of newly released Surveillance Video from yesterday. Security camera footage from inside a Hotel Elevator in Atlantic City posted on a website tmz, it shows the fight between rice and his then fiancee. He punches her, knocking her unconscious then drags her out of the elevator. The two are now married. Someone that you care about does wrong, you know, is faced with consequences of doing wrong and rightfully so, it is tough. It is hurtful. And my pain is for both of them as a couple, you know, and going forward, my hope is that they can make it work. The nfl released a statement yesterday saying, in part, that video was not made available to us and no one in our office had seen it until today. The league had previously suspended rice for just two games. The suspension of rice is raising questions about the fate of a San Francisco 49ers player also in the middle of a Domestic Violence case. Last month, San Jose Police arrested defensive end ray mcdonald at his home in silver creek valley. The sjpd is investigating the case involving his fiancee before sending it to the district attorneys office. 49ers Officials Say they are waiting for the investigations to reveal the truth in mcdonalds case. There could be more flooding in the desert today as Tropical Storm norbert sends more rain into southern california, arizona and nevada. A 40mile stretch of i15 is closed between las vegas and utah.

Kpix 5s kiet do is waiting for apples announcement about new products. The tech giant is keeping things under wraps until the announcement. I can see that big White Building right behind you. Reporter this is a building that we have been dying to get a close look at for a couple of weeks now. They have been building the thing here on the campus of De Anza College next to flint center. We are thinking that the reporters are going to go inside this tent to get product demos and look at the new products here. Over to the left, thats where the reporters are going to start lining up and go inside the flint center event that starts at 10 00. It will be historic for apple whatever they announce. Reporter 9 9 2014 a date apple addicts everywhere have been waiting for. Apple is set to unveil its newest devices today. Whether or not one is actually called the iphone 6, the experts at cnet are predicting well see two new phones. Right now they have 4 screens. We think will will be 4. 7 and a phablet size, a hybrid. Reporter more storage and new health and home automation suites, offering Near Field Communication or nfc. Its a technology that paves the way for mobile payments. You tap your phone on something, like you can tap two phones together, you can tap a phone to a speaker, to pair them. You can also do it with mobile payments, tap it on the register and you pay. You dont have to get out a credit card. Reporter apple is also expected to unveil a wearable device which many have dubbed the iwatch. While it wont likely replace a phone and may not actually be a watch, it is expected to do a lot. It probably will also have nfc so you can do mobile payments. You can pair easily with your phone, probably highlight fitness, home automation and new areas. Reporter the iwatch wont be available right away but new iphones go on sale september 19. Diehards have already begun camping out even though they dont know what they are camping out for. So everybody has a job out here, including these guys cleaning the building. Typical of apples attention to detail. We spoke with an apple analyst. He says his sources have told him that all of the capacity for fedex and u. P. S. To ship outside of taiwan and parts of china have been booked by one company over the next two weeks. We are guessing its apple and thats a strategy to get these products into the hands of customers as quickly as possible. Just a few more hours and well find out. Whats all this talk about a sapphire screen . Reporter yeah. So sapphire screens, its one of the hardest minerals on the planet. Almost as hard as diamonds. They are calling it scratchproof and they are hearing some chatter that they are being grown, sheets of it are being grown in large factories. They take the sheets and cut them down. They are thinking that because of the iwatch is more susceptible to scratches. They could be on the watches as well as the iphone 6. Kiet do, kpix 5. Exciting. I know. I was tweeting up there with an individual in new york city who has been sitting out since august 31 and somebody from canada said, can i take your spot . Ill give you 2,800. He said done and got two people behind. Like a little draft. 3,000 . I love my weather apps. Out the door this morning, you dont need an app for this. Temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Oakland west wind at 7. Thats a sea breeze. 57 novato up to a high today there in the low 70s. 80 san rafael, 80s throughout the trivalley. These numbers are warmer than yesterday. But not quite as warm as it will be tomorrow. Check out your sevenday forecast. It does call for a string of 90s across the board each and every day all the way until next monday. Thats a look at your weather. Lets check the roads with elizabeth. Its rough on highway 4 trying to get from antioch to concord. You will be waiting for a while. We had an accident at willow pass. It was a motorcycle accident. No serious injuries. They cleared it to the shoulder quickly but unfortunately, it is really backed up. We are seeing the usual slowdowns in antioch, hillcrest to a street. You maybe get a slight break around somersville but then again a big backup heading on to the concord side of things. Once you got past willow pass, things look better southbound 680 clear to walnut creek and then it continues to look good on 24 all the way to the caldecott tunnel. Bay bridge toll plaza stacked up through the maze westbound 580 sluggish from the 24 interchange. Once you get on the bridge though, our sensors are picking up some okay speeds from the incline to yerba buena island. Once again metering lights are on. Thats your latest kcbs drive to work. Frank and michelle back to you guys. Thank you. A man locked up, up in oregon is the prime suspect in a series of bay area murders 40 years ago. Five women were scabbed to death in San Mateo County in 1976. Now a 76yearold, rodney halbower, is linked to the killings through dna evidence. The dna came from a similar killing in reno and early this year, the fbi had a lunch there might be a connection. We had reason to believe the deaths are linked based on evidence between a number of cases. Time frame of the murders and the method used by the offender to commit the crimes. Five murders all on the peninsula happened from january to april in 1976. They were called the gypsy hill murders for the road in pacifica where one of the victims was found. It was four years ago today the pg e pipeline explosion forever changed a san bruno neighborhood. Eight people were killed and 38 homes destroyed on this date in 2010. Kpix 5s ryan takeo has an update on the citys rebuilding progress. Reporter that rebuilding process is still under way. There have been some lots where homes have not been rebuilt but many of the survivors still live in the naked. Neighborhood. You might wonder about the 10 empty lots if you werent here four years ago. Adrian knows. He was here. Its an event where you remember how everything went. It just remains with you. Reporter as the explosion and fireball tore through this neighborhood, adrian arrived to rescue his cousins whose house is barely 100 yards from the blast zone. Their home survived and has been repaired. The nextdoor neighbor wasnt so lucky. Seeing it now, i cant believe that there used to be houses, like, there, you know, and just gone. Reporter she says the neighborhood where she grew up has changed in positive ways, as well. Beautiful new homes are springing up with attractive landscaping. Older homes have been repaired and freshly painted. And in an ironic twist, pg e has had to pay for a lot of new solar panels. But no amount of landscaping can change the fact that there is still a huge hole in this neighborhood. Something like that happens to you, it leaves a scar kind of gives you a little bit of [ pause ] battle fatigue. Reporter those who died will never be forgotten by those who survived. But the fouryear struggle to rebuild has had one more lasting effected on the people who live here. Whenever i see them, its like hey, hows it going, hows your day . We definitely got closer. This terrible event really brought people together. Reporter so the tragedy that tore this neighborhood apart four years ago is now continuing to make it stronger than ever. The the rebuilding and Recovery Process continue here in the crestmoor neighborhood. The latest headline in the case, a 1. 4 billion fine handed down from the cpuc to pg e. The utility plans to appeal. Live in san bruno, im ryan takeo, kpix 5. San bruno officials think the fine against pg e is appropriate. But they want the bulk of the money to go to Pipeline Safety rather than the states general fund. If you are planning to buy one of the new iphones being unveiled today you might want to sell your old one. Most money from your iphone i would sell it as soon as possible. These are only going to lose value as they get older. When the new iphone comes out everybody will look for that so now is the time to sell. If previous iphones are any indicator your 5 has probably lost 10 of its value over the last two months. The top retail sites are offering up to 320 for a 5s. And your phone will likely loose another 5 of the value in the next 10 days leading up to the september 19 release date and drop another 20 by november. Values often see a slight increase around the holidays. Its 6 39 now. San mateo county sheriff is asking people to pay an extra buck when registering their cars. The he wants to use that money to reduce auto thefts. Right now only 1 is collected per registration to investigate vehicle crimes. The sheriff says the fee was set in 1994. Its not enough. In 2012 there were more than 1,000 cars stolen in the county. Happening today in sonoma county, protestors are expected to greet the board of supervisors ahead of their meeting tonight in santa rosa. They are calling for the removal of sheriff deputy erick gelhaus. The deputy shot and killed 13 yearold andy lopez last year. Gelhaus mistook the teens toy ak47 for a real one. Time now 6 40.

Demolition costs of the old eastern span of the bay bridge. Part of the extra money went towards getting the demolition back on schedule. The scramble to open the new span on time depleted row sources for the demolition project of the other bridge so it could cost almost 13 million to get the demolition on track for completion by 2018 or perhaps sooner. Apple stock bears watching as the Cupertino Company is ready to reveal the next big thing. Heres kcbs radios financial reporter jason brooks. Jason, apple is the big talker today. Reporter it is. Good morning to you and frank. Spotlight on the company as it is expected to debut the iphone 6 and the big difference the iphone 6 is that its expected to have larger screens possibly a 4. 7 and 5. 5 version. Other big factors with that iphone include a chip involved with Near Field Communications in order to allow to you buy things with the phone. Possibly lifting security over what we do with credit cards and how often they are taken by hackers out there. The company is looking to improve sales a samsung. Its grabbed the Smartphone Market around the world with larger screens. Its also expected to unveil the iwatch getting into the wearable business. And its focused on fitness.

Thank you. We have a new accident just reported this time in the south bay. Its northbound 101 near alum rock. Looks like its possibly blocking one lane and we are starting to see those slowdowns coming into san jose on 101. Heaviest from capitol expressway past mckee. So again well continue to watch that one but just not too bad a slowing right now but there are some backups behind that crash. Bay bridge toll plaza, stacked up through the maze. You can see the drive time now on the eastshore freeway beginning to slow, as well. Very heavy from the richmond area into berkeley and westbound 580 we are seeing slowdowns on our sensors past the 4 interchange so there was that drive time there at the bottom of the screen. Also we are seeing the usual delays now on westbound 580 through the Altamont Pass, livermore valley. Drive time should be about a halfhour right now. From the Altamont Pass to the dublin interchange. But this is the worst of it. This is that accident i was talking about earlier approaching willow pass. All lanes have been cleared for a while now but its just kind of stacked up from end to end from antioch into concord. You get a break there around somersville. You will see a biggerthan usual best westbound 4. Past the crash through walnut creek, a few slowdowns nothing too bad typical stuff right now through walnut creek on southbound 680. That is your latest kcbs drive to work. We have been talking about drought here but flooding in the southwest hit close to home for roberta. Phoenix saw 3 of rain. Thats more rain than a whole summer. That was a record rainfall for them. The monsoonal moisture moved into the barstow in the mojave desert, as well. I received this photo from my nephew cody. This was once a road. They had to hire a tractor and guy to try to make a road there. But yeah, more rain is in the offing in the Desert Southwest today but meanwhile the drought continues here locally. We are not even seeing any condensation from the deep clouds that were experiencing at this hour. This is a view birdseye view from kpix 5 looking towards the bay bridge. Towards oakland where currently its 61 degrees, west wind 7 miles an hour. Santa rosa cloud cover mid50s. We will see earlier burnoff today. The direct result will be warmer conditions and we have above normal conditions in the sevenday forecast. Yesterday at this hour, we had the marine layer, the clouds at 2,000 feet deep. Now its 1800 feet deep and you will notice about 2 00 in the afternoon we are seeing the clear in San Francisco and the avenues and daly city clouds filling in tonight. High pressure will be building in air mass warms up and results in warmer conditions. Statewide triple digits in fresno 97 degrees at the state capital. 6 44 sunup. 90 in gilroy today. 90s inland through monday. Frank and michelle . Thank you. I think we have touched on this story a little bit. Yeah. Apple just a couple of hours away now from a mighty big announcement in the south bay. To join the conversation now, cnet editor Sharon Profis joins us now. Good morning. This is a really big deal because we have been looking forward to it for about a year now. So what i want to give is a few more insider details about what to expect today. So you have heard about the sapphire screen. And when they say sapphire, they really mean sapphire like the thing you might put in a ring or necklace. It really is sturdy almost as hard as a diamond which means that if it drops or you cant even scratch it actually. Its really sturdy. So we hope to see that on an iphone. If an iwatch definitely there. Then two sizes. This has been a big weak point for apple. So most android phones now are hitting towards the 4. 5, 4. 7 mark. So we expect apple to release a 4. 7 phone plus perhaps even a 5. 5 phone. Put what i really want to talk about today is that mobile wallet feature. So you might have heard of nfc, Near Field Communication. Basically, its what powers Google Wallet on android phones but even android phones that have that built in havent really taken off with the mobile payments. Consumers are wary of, you know, whats my security like, is it really safe to pay with my phone . So what we expect apple to do is to introduce a very user friendly mobile Payment System based on nfc and one thing to know about this is that your payments are secure. In fact, many of the breaches that occurred wouldnt be as harmful to your personal Financial Security if you were using a mobile Payment System. Thats because it really mimics the same chip and p. I. N. Process that we have seen in europe and that is coming to the u. S. Because every time you go through a transaction, using nfc and your mobile payment through your phone, your phone actually generates a new code. Instead of using your debit card number. So theres no way that a hacker can actually steal your information or access it in any other way because its generated anew every, single time. So its taking your card not like when you go to starbucks, if you put money on the app . This is your card so you can just scan away . Correct. So you can load all your debt and credit cards into one central system and how it would work is you youre at the cash register, you tap your phone then maybe at that point you scan your fingerprint to confirm its you, then a code is generated. And you give blood. [ laughter ] exactly. [ laughter ] right. Sharon, thank you so much for that insider look. Its going to be a fun day. Okay, sharon, thanks. Time now is 6 53.

We are thinking we are going to have some hands on product demos here. The reporters will come here after the big event. Over to the left thats flint center. The fact that were at flint center is significant because apple typically comes back here for major product announcements so whatever this is, experts believe its going to be historic for apple. They are widely expected to unveil a wearable device, possibly the iwatch, tracking your health and control devices in your home. The company will also likely announce not one but two new iphones. The current iphone 5s has a 4 screen. But evidence is pointing to a 4. 7 and 5. 5 screen and then theres Near Field Communication that allows devices to talk to one another and do things like transfer money or unlock a door. Experts think all these technologies will be merged together so you can use your phone to pay for things like groceries, et cetera.
