emotionally and physically allegedly because of steroid use. let's go to sharon chin. she is in san francisco with what comes next. sharon, good morning. you were in the courtroom yesterday. were you blushing? >> reporter: well, i was busy taking notes t really did seem like a soap opera yesterday. today more interesting. this afternoon, three baseball players current and former expected to take the stand. and they are going to have the defense continue its cross- examination of kimberly bell. sensational testimony came from barry bonds' ex-girlfriend yesterday in his perjury try. the defense portrayed her as a gold digger a jilted mistress who wanted to embarrass bonds for leaving her in 2003. bell is the one person who could testify to the effects of steroids allegedly had on bonds. bell told a jury that in 2002 late in her nine-year relationship with bonds, she noticed a big lump on his left elbow. she said that bonds told her her sis road use caused his muscles and tendons to grow faster than his joint could handle. bell also described physical changes she saw in bonds that are common to steroid use, hair loss, impotence, acne and a temper that grew with his shoe and capsize. she said he threatened to cut off her head, cut off the breast implants he paid for and burn the home he bought for her. >> those admissions or those comments would normally be considered hearsay but because they are statements against interest, they will be admitted and they will be very important for the jury to hear. >> reporter: topping the witness list for the prosecution today, barry sample director of quest diagnostics look will talk about bonds' drug test sample. stan con at this time giants former head trainer. jason and jeremy giambi both of whom committed to using performance-enhancing from bonds' personal trainer greg anderson and former major league player randy velarde all three expected to talk about their ties to anderson but first off the defense

collectives to cease operation. a bay area city could put a shorter leash on its dogs. >> kiet do is in san jose with more on the freak accident that's sparking some tough new restrictions. kiet, good morning. reporter: good morning. we are live along the los alamitos creek trail in south san jose where it all began a year and a half ago where beverly head got into a freak accident and died when she got tangled up with two dogs who were on the end of long leashes. later today, the san jose city council is expected to approve a new set of laws to shorten leashes and stiffen penalties. this comes after more than a year of community meetings and studies about the issue. beverly head got tangled up in the leashes with those two siberian huskies. she fell over and then died from her injuries the next day. the victim's husband had wanted the city ban all dogs from riding along side bikers and in fact he wanted to ban all bikes from sharing trails with dogs. the city did not go to that extreme but said it tried to find a balance in its new rules, which include a 6-foot leash maximum down from the current maximum of 20 feet. the first offense would be a warning followed by a $100 and $200 for the second and third offense. anyone with a dog now has to stay to the right of the trail. so bob head has told us in the past that if these shorter leash laws were in effect, his wife would have have been alive today. the city council is expected to take up this issue at 1:30 this afternoon. back to you. >> thank you. thank you, kiet do in san jose this morning. 5:06 on a

as a result of that accident. later today, the san jose city council is expected to approve a new set of laws to shorten leashes and stiffen penalties. this comes after more than a year of meetings and studies about the issue. now, beverly head got tangled up with two siberian huskies, fell over and died from head injuries the next day. the victim's husband said if the city had shorter leash laws his wife would still be alive today. but if you had your way would you do an outright ban on bikers with dogs? >> oo i'm on the fence on that but but to err on the safe side, i think that's the way do it yes. >> reporter: now, the city did not go to that extreme but said it tried to find a balance in its new rules, which include a 6-foot leash maximum down from the current maximum of 20 feet. the fir offense would be a warning, following by a $100 and then $200 fine for second and third offenses. anyone with a dog on the trail has to stay to the right on the trail. the city council meeting is scheduled for 1:30 this afternoon. >> kiet, thank you. kiet do in san jose. the power is back only for some people in oakland this morning. but not after quite a fireworks display. watch.

the traffic front but weather- wise going to be a good one. in fact, a good few days. outside now we have partly cloudy skies, increasing to mostly cloudy later today but don't worry we'll stay dry at least for the most part. showers staying to our north thanks to this weathermaker moving into the pacific northwest. that being said, temperatures do stay mild. starting out this morning most folks in the 40s. 41 napa, 4 7 pacific, and 46 san jose. later today anywhere from the 50s at the coast to near 70 for the warm spots like napa. 66 in livermore. this is just the beginning. sun is on the way as well as temperatures in the 80s. traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you. northbound 101 near whipple, an accident with a motor cycle, big rig and car. so injuries are reported. it sounds like right now, three lanes are blocked. we actually just got a call with scott with the kcbs phone force that tells us that traffic is backed up already about an eighth of a mile and unfortunately growing so it's taking a little while for our sensors to catch up but expect delays along the peninsula. traffic alert in san leandro since 2:30 this morning. we have had at least one lane blocked on the major connector ramp southbound 880 to southbound 238. an accident involving a big rig, a diesel fuel spill and so they are saying it's going to be close to 9:00 this morning before they can get all lanes re-opened. so expect delays. in the meantime use lewelling boulevard for the bulk of your morning commute. more traffic coming up. back to you. >> thank you. the future of libya is the subject of an international meeting today in london. president obama says nato will take control of the entire operation in libya tomorrow. >> i said that america's role would be limited. no ground troops that we would focus our unique capabilities on the front end of the operation and transfer responsibility to our allies and partners. tonight we are fulfilling that pledge. >> he said libya would be better off with moammar qaddafi out of power. in addition to our nato duties the president said we will provide assistance to the libyan people. we will safeguard $33 billion from the libyan regime's frozen assets to rebuild the country and the president said he ruled out targeting moammar qaddafi himself saying that trying to oust him militarily would be a costly mistake. qaddafi's son was in the united states even right here in the bay area at one point. cnn reports that the son had an internship in los angeles for a global engineering and design company. he traveled around meeting with high-tech companies in cities such as san francisco, chicago and houston. he left the united states for libya on february 17th when the crisis broke out there. time now 5:40. power company officials in japan say plutonium has been detected in soil outside the damaged nuclear plant. tokyo electric power, though, says the amount of plutonium is small and doesn't post a risk to public health but government safety officials say the findings support suspicions that radioactive water is leaking from damaged nuclear fuel rods. inside the plant, crews are trying to pump out water that's radioactive and pump in fresh water to cool the fuel rods. dozenses of san jose pot clubs could go up in smoke if the city council approves a plan to limit the dispensaries. under the proposal only 10 collectives would be allowed to operate legally. the measure would also streamline the application process for those 10 pot clubs. there would also be a specified time limit for the other 100 or so collectives to cease operations. here's a question for you. when was the last time you used a phone book? probably been a while. today the san francisco board of supervisors will consider banning the yellow pages. the measure is aimed at reducing waste and saving money. the program would require distributors to ask people and businesses if they want a copy before just leaving it on their door stoop. critics say the plan would lead to job losses and harm small businesses that rely on the phone books for advertising. 10 years ago you had to have it. now it's like, are you kidding me? >> 5:41. trying to lose weight? instead of counting calories, maybe you should be watching your sleep instead. this night belongs to stanford and tara vanderveer. stan for going to the final four for the fourth straight year! >> and the stanford women moving closer to a national championship. the tough task on sunday and the record they will try to settlement. we have that when we come back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, we have a sunny forecast but hang in there for one more day because clouds are in the forecast for the remainder of the day. starting off partly cloudy. temperatures in the 40s for most folks. 50s in the warm spots, 70s inland. increasing cloud cover, the same weathermaker heading into the pacific northwest will bring them showers and us clouds. but we'll stay mainly dry. i think most of the showers will stay north of even our north bay viewers. that being said, these clouds are just short-lived. high pressure begins to build in and really take over tomorrow into wednesday. as it does it brings with it more sunshine and warmer temperatures, flirting with records wednesday and thursday. we're talking low 80s for the warmest spots inland. now, in the meantime, we're just beginning this gradual warmup and temperatures do stay mild in spite of the clouds today. 60 half moon bay, 66 fremont, 69 los gatos. brentwood 68 for your high, 70 walnut creek and 65 today in berkeley. north bay 58 bodega bay, 70 in napa. five-day forecast looking good, seven-day forecast better. clouds today, sun and warmer temperatures wednesday and thursday. we do cool things down friday. and we have a slight chance of showers on saturday but don't worry, it doesn't mean another soggy couple of weeks. we dry out and warm up as early as sunday into monday. now a check of traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you. back out to redwood city. northbound 101 near whipple we had an accident involving a motorcycle, a big rig and another car. bill with the kcbs phone force just called us letting us know that that accident was just cleared to the right shoulder so slight delays right now but again, they just cleared that out of lanes so all lanes once again re-opened northbound 101 through redwood city so hopefully we'll start to see an improvement shortly. in the meantime, this could cause some big delays for really the remainder of the morning commute. we're talking about this major connector ramp in the east bay. southbound 880 to southbound 238, a couple of hours ago, around 2:30 this morning, there was an accident involving a big rig, hit the guardrail in the area and they are telling us that that traffic alert will be in effect until 9:00 this morning. now, you can use the connector ramp. they still have one lane open. but one lane remains shut down. so if you are coming down southbound 880 out of oakland, you may want to consider using lewelling boulevard as your alternate and cut up towards hesperian to 238. this could cause us some big delays unfortunately for the bulk of the morning commute like i have been saying. 880 for right now, though, looks pretty good. here's a live look near the coliseum. taillights moving northbound towards downtown oakland. so far no big delays in
