Yes. November 20th. 7 00. Im dave clark. Im gasia mikaelian. I was telling steve how he has made the sky look so nice today. A little help. It is a little weak system coming by. A few high clouds and patchy fog. Overall, mild out. 40s and 50s sunrise over the big city. As mr. Charge mentioned, theres a few of them. Just a weak front. It has picked up the breeze, especially in the Higher Elevations and along the coast. This is chad giving us a nice sunrise for some. Pink sky above daly city. Thank you, chad, for that. One of our favorites here. House of yen. Happy friday. Well, thank you. A few whist notes of clouds to the north. Otherwise clear. The high cloud deck is cruising by. Get a look at it. Theyre there. Jetstream stays to the north. Mild to warm. A few high clouds. The breeze has picked up. So downtown oakland will be near 70 today. Above normal temps. Sal, we a couple of issues earlier. Are things better now. Yeah. That crash that we had on 580 cleared up and the traffic cleared out which leads me to believe that the Traffic Volume is lighter right now. Thats because people are doing other things like going to airports. And also this evening, this afternoon, there will be a big commute out of the city. There already was one sense and thursday and today another big day out of the city. Keep that in the back of your head, in the back of your mind, i should say. Lets look at the commute right now when youre driving into the city. Bay bridge toll plaza is jam packed. 15 to 20minute delay. Before you get on the brimming to go to the other side. Were also looking at the commute on interstate 880 north and southbound. 101 San Francisco not a bad commute either. Southbound 101 getting to the airport, you wont find any major issues. Westbound 580 there was an earlier truck accident blocking lanes. , again, the volume is much lighter. I can just tell by looking at it. So thats working out for you this morning. 7 03. Lets go back to the desk. A developing store knee west africa this morning. This is a few of the people being rushed to the hospital after surviving a siege by islamic gunmen raiding a americanowned hotel. At one time the attackers had 170 hostages. The militants stormed the Raddison Blu Hotel in the capital of mali which has strong ties and france and the u. S. Alex savage is in the news room monitoring developments. We do understand that u. S. Military forces now are involved in this ongoing hostage situation. There are americans inside the hotel. At least 130 people are still being held captive at this hour. Lets show you video from inside the hotel. This is video apparently taken about i a chinese tourist who claims he is one of the hostages. It shows the scene right outside of the Raddison Hotel in the capital of mali. A military Spokesman Says this started when ten gunmen stormed the hotel. According to witnesses they were shouting in arabic, god is great. Early on, three people were killed in the siege. Authorities described the attackers as islamic extremists, armed with guns and grenades. We have learn there had are french citizens potential among the hostages. And there you see just a short time ago french president Francois Hollande weighed in on the siege. He said that france will be an ally tomalley and troops on the way to end this. It is members of the mali military and u. S. Military forces going through the hotel floor by floor. Reportedly they are exchanging gunfire with the hostage takers at certain points. Its not clear which terrorist group is behind this attack. Nobody has claimed responsibility as of yet. According to a report this morning from the bbc, this siege comes a couple days after an Islamic Militant group in the area called for attacks on france and its interests in mali. That is the situation. No one is exactly claiming responsibility for the attack yet, gasia, but we will have to see how things up fold throughout the morning. Alex, thank you. Sure. One week ago today the paris terror attacks occurred and the french Prime Minister announced that one more person has died from the attacks. The death toll went up to 130. Prosecutors announced a third body, the body of a woman was found in that apartment that police raided on wednesday. The two other bodies included the man suspected of planning the paris attacks and his female cousin. In the meantime on capitol hill, the house has defied president obama bypassing a bill that puts new restrictions for syrian and iraqi refugees that want to get into the United States. Democrats in the senate vowed they will block this bill. And president obama says he will veto it if it comes to his desk. The bill would require new fbi background checks and also force National Security agencies to sign off that every refugee coming to the u. S. Does not pose a security risk. Republicans say they fear that the terrorists will slip in the country with the refugees. The white house opposes the bill and released these numbers that support the position. The Obama Administration says the United Nations has referred to 23,000 Syrian Refugees here to the u. S. 7,000 have been interviewed by Homeland Security since 2011. A little more than 2,000 refugees have been admitted so far. And not one refugee has been arrested or removed on terrorism charges. Were now learning from Oakland Police that a suspect found dead in a motel room after a standoff overnight killed himself. The standoff started yesterday afternoon just after 3 00 at the motel 6 near the coliseum. The suspect barricaded himself in a room. Police heard several shots fired in that room. And when officers finally entered sometime after midnight, they found the suspect was dead and that he had shot himself. Now, Livermore Police believe the man found dead in the room is jason brown. He is 18 years old from oakland and he is wanted in connection with at least two killings, including one in the parking lot of a cvs store in livermore last month. Oakland police say theyre not yet confirming the suspects name until his family is notified. San franciscos push to reduce pedestrian deaths and make safety improvements on the streets is being praised by mayor lee who will tell us today what has already been done and what is planned. Christian has been out there since 4 00 this morning. Tell us more about this vision zero project. Reporter yeah. This has been an eyeopener here. This is the same intersection where two boys were struck and injured two weeks ago. Driver was arrested and accused of dui. We have a camera on the top of our live truck. You can see some of the changes that have been made. There is a stop sign here. Some temporary stop signs as well as some newly painted crosswalks here. Weve been here for a couple of hours this morning, it has been chilling. Since weve been here this morning, weve seen car after car blow right through the temporary stop signs or screech to a stop in the intersection. Throughout city as part of the vision zero campaign, workers have added new traffic signs, signals and redesigned traffic and pedestrian flow patterns. The city is hoping to eliminate traffic deaths by 2024. Mayor ed lee expected to announce today that many of the changes are ahead of schedule for vision zero and will talk about the future of the projects. We spoke to a woman who was especially concerned about crossing this intersection. It can be. Especially here because theres no stop sign. I dont really feel comfortable crossing here. Go up to the light. Reporter the woman says that she was very happy to see the stop signs out here. If we can go to our mast cam one more time. You see the vehicles stopping and the pedestrians trying to make their way. Just to give you a sense of how severe the problem can be, just a couple minutes ago, i was out here with my iphone and i captured video of a red mustang blowing through in intersection. I was out here for five minutes before i caught it on my iphone. I posted it on my personal facebook just to give a sense of how serious the problem is. Mayor lee expected to address the issue about vision zero at 10 00 this morning. Wow. Thats happening before your very eyes outs there with your cameras too. This is just today. Maam what the people who live there see. Thank you, christian. The thanksgiving travel period is officially underway. Coming up in minutes, the extra security that you might notice if youre flying to your destination. Students camped out days at stanford. More about their message and what the president of the College Plans to do today. We have seen some improvement, even after a couple of serious crashes. We still have slow traffic getting oust the bay bridge area and also getting across the bay. A few high clouds made for a nice sunrise. Temperatures lower in the lows and even warmer on the highs. We will show you on this friday. The owners have raised 16,000 to pay for the bonuses for the workers that lost their jobs due to the fire, a convicted sex offender released from prison has been ehavented from a motel after the manager realized who he was. 51yearold Frazier Smith is designated a violent sexual predator. No one wants him in their neighborhood. The houses rented in concord have fell through because of community opposition. The judge released him as a transient with no permanent address. He rented a room at the motel 6 in vallejo. That is not sitting well with a lot of people in vallejo. The problem with these kinds of crimes, i dont know if you can rehab these people. It worries me as a parent and educator. Motel 6 gave smith a room because one of his guards booked it in his own name. Smith has two state paid monitors with him around the clock. The motel evicted him after it was made aware that he was staying there. Its not clear where smith and his guards are headed now. A protest group is supporting uc berkeleys decision to expel a student accused of rape. They are backing a female student who said a male student raped her in a dorm room in october of 2014. The alleged attacker was expelled. But the d. A. s office declined to press charges so the student asked to be readmitted. The university decide today uphold the expulsion. Supporters of the woman say they hope to convince the d. A. To reconsider filing charges. The president of stanford will meet today with those students who are protesting the schools investments in fossil fuels. It is called fossil free stanford. They started the sitin on monday outside of the administration building. The students want the school to end its investments in oil and gas companies. The University Officials are threatening academic penalties and also the possibility of Police Action unless the sitin ends. Well, just when it looks like the warriors winning streak would come to an end, they stormed back. They came back from being down 23 points to beat the clippers last night 124117. Steph curry himself had 40 points and 11 rebounds. They are two wins away from matching the best win in history, that is 150. They are hosting the chicago bulls. I went to bed earlier last night. The warriors were down. I slept on. I dont know if it was because of sal through twitter but they did great. I would have been down in the dumps if they lost. But i feel great today. We are watching the commute. A little different today on a friday. A lot of people have left the bay area or theyre leaving. Right now were going to start off with a look at some of these east bay commutes where the traffic is going to be slow. 580 near greenville road, we had a crash there. Not a big traffic jam opinion a big traffic jam through dublin. We are seeing slow traffic getting into Castro Valley where there was an accident there. That traffic is going to be set back. 880 southbound as you drive from 92 to fremont just past 84. Its slow. We have slowdowns but not as severe as they would be yesterday or wednesday or monday or tuesday. Lets go to a live picture. 880 northbound past the coliseum. It looks good. The road to the Oakland Airport is clear without any major problems. Likewise for the is a not fran airport. If youre looking at the toll plaza, a big backup. 20 minutes to make it on to the span. 7 18. Here is my friend steve paulson. Thanks, sal. You stayed up all night watching that. I did. I was going to bed but i figured the warriors are too good. They have a comeback in them. I knew it. And you also knew today was friday. That helps. We have a few high clouds and a weak front coming by. There is some fog but its far inland. I know theres some at lake canyon and out in the valley. But the lows are way up from monday when they were 20s and 30s. Now theyre 40s and 50s. Nice sunrise this morning. Eric said not too shabby on the coast of daly city. And i said are you sure thats not b odega bay. Yeah. Lots of birds. Next week will be colder. Unfortunately it looks like the system will go over land, not over water and therein lies a drier forecast. Temperatures in the 70s will end up in the 40s. A big change but probably a drier change. Still time to iron things out. 40s and 50s on the temps. Upper 40s and 50s if theres any breeze. Thats the cloud deck right there cruising on by. A little bit of fog inland. Overall were looking good. Look at the water temps. San francisco is colder at 53. 56 Half Moon Bay and monterey. Thats the coldest that i have seen in over a year. 53 down in monterey. Thats our line of cloud deck right now. Theres not much to the front. All of the active weather stays to the north where its bitterly cold. High pressure is our fair weather friend. It will be with us until monday. Patchy fog and high clouds. Above normal temperatures. The breeze will be picking up next week. Lets deal with this monday. It will be colder for sure. Mild to warm. A few high clouds. Breeze coming off of the Higher Elevations. That translates into a southwesterly breeze. That means 70s. 60s and 70s. But these are all above average as you might expect. 68 in san jose. 68 san mateo. 67 in the city. And more of the same into the weekend. Big change next week. Cooler and windy. Colder and windy. And you want gasia to find her heavy coat. I dont even own a heavy coat. My version would be laughed at in chicago. I understand that. And you would not be laughing. Thank you, steve. Very interesting for the first time for people from mexico are leaving the United States than coming in. In 20 minutes, the reasons for this changing trend. Four homeless men say their rights are being violated. Now theyre fighting back. The lawsuit theyre filing against the Central Valley city. Every morning these men ate a tired breakfast and had a tired day. They werent lumberjacks, they were slumberjacks. Then one day jack showed up with a breakfast burrito powered by jalapenos. It didnt just change their morning. It changed everything turning these tree loggers. Into tree lovers. Spicy jalapenos, chipotle sauce with grilled bacon, eggs and cheese. The jalapeno bacon breakfast burrito. Only at jack in the box. [music] travel. Travel. Thats what were what were doing. Were traveling on the crazy train with mr. Ozzy osborne. Ill play your request often with a theme on friday use the hashtag ktvu on twitter or instagram. Sal knows every word. Of course. Of course. And ive never heard it. 7 24. Mornings on 2. Four homeless men are suing saying their rights have been violated. They filed a civil rights lawsuit after being cited by police for having an illegal campsite within city limits. The law makes it illegal to make any make shift shelter on private or public property. What do you hope to get out of the suit. Awareness. Awareness and let the police know and the police chief need to back off a little bit. If were not doing crimes, leave us alone like everyone else. The ordinance as we spoke about arent targeting a specific group to stay homeless. Our concern is for the safety of the community. The mens Attorney Says that the city is making it illegal to be homeless. He says thats unconstitutional. The meant is asking for reasonable damages but does not list an amount. The time is 7 25. Thanksgiving as you know is less than a week away. And this weekend st. Anthonys in San Francisco, they need your help to feed the needy. Starting tomorrow and through thanksgiving, st. Anthonys will once again be accepting curbside turkey donations. They are hoping to collect 1500 this year. Thanksgiving day, st. Anthonys will open its doors to anybody who wants to enjoy a turkey dinner. They expect to serve about 3,000 meals. The average cost by the way of a thanksgiving dinner hit a new alltime high this year. The American Farm Bureau Federation says a thanksgiving feast for 10 people will cost an average of 50. 11, including the turkey, the stuffing, the rolls, sweet potatoes, the green peas, the cranberries. Brussel sprouts. Yeah. Everything. The total price is up 70 cents from last year. The most expensive thing is the turkey. The price went up because of a bird flu outbreak earlier this year that reduced the supply. A california turkey is headed to the white house after winning the pardon contest. It comes from the foster farms ranch in modesto. He was selected from the flock in part because of his feathers and outgoing person personality. He will be presented to president obama and he will live the rest his days at a farm. Fighting against terrorism the french way. The annual tradition people in paris refused to give up just days after the terror attacks. Expect big crowds if youre headed to the airport today. The holiday rush to get away starts today. Well show what you it looks like and tell you about a security change. Good morning. We are still looking at a commute that is busy in many areas. Right now the east shore freeway seems to have cleared up. We will give you traffic time for this commute coming up. Except for a few high clouds, mostly sunny. The afternoon highs will be warmer. But what about the weekend and next week . More on that. 7 30. Good morning to you. We are live at walnut creeks Broadway Plaza. This is where christmas is coming early for people who love to shop. In a few minutes brian flores will tell us about the stores reopening today ahead of the Holiday Shopping season and the work being done right now that were actually showing you. A lot of workers getting things in place. Im trying to figure out, is that macys . You would think i would know the macys in walnut creek. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Thanks for joining us on november 20th. Im gasia mikaelian. And good morning, im dave clark. Lets talk about weather and traffic. Steve, i look at clouds from both sides now. You do. Theres a song there. Thats a lyric, dave. I like how the clouds look. Yeah. I believe that was macys, gasia. See. I knew you would know too. The womens side. The mens side is across the street. Yeah. High clouds drifting over us. Overall mild out. 40s and 50s. A nice day. Temperatures above average. Any fog is mainly inland. Thats only patchy. A little bit of a breeze. That is Holding Things up. 40s and 50s. Livermore at 46. My good friends the bands will be in livermore at pine street. Thats the name of the place. Its on renkan avenue. They are from livermore. I might even be out there at 9 00 if i dont fall asleep. Friday at 9 00 is late. Thats a little late. Dan bush on drums. Im done. They will be out there and they are really good. They really are. A lot of high clouds drifting over us. They make for a nice sunrise and a nice sunset as well. Where is the active weather . Up in the pacific northwest. Not here. Maybe next week. Near 70 for many. Upper 60s, 70s. Above average temps here for the next couple of days. Sal, you had issues earlier. Things calmed down. How are they now. I do. [music] thats judy collins. Thats the best version of that song. I wanted to put people out there if people want to disagree with me. That was way before my time. Maybe a little before my time too. But i know the song. Good morning, everyone. Lets take a look at some of these pictures. I promised you a look at the east shore freeway. We were going to look at the time. 30 minutes right now. 30 minutes as you drive between the this area here and the macarthur maze. On monday we had 68 minutes, 72 minutes. So we have improved. Fewer people are taking the road. But i want to give you advice. Today is going to be a huge day getting out of San Francisco. People are going to leave a little early and get on the road. Theyre going away. Next week traffic should be lighter as people are going away. At the bay bridge toll plaza it is backed up for a 20 to 25 minute delay. It wont be an easy day getting out of the city today. Its definitely a little lighter on 880 between 92 and 84. Slow traffic there. On the peninsula, no problems trying to get to the airport. Either that on 101 or 80 across the bay or san jose. The freeways are not a problem trying to get to the three major airports in the bay area. Update on developing news in west africa where terror i haves took over a hotel in mali. Alqaeda is claiming responsibility. Troops backed by special forces from the United States and france, theyre now trying to rescue the hostages. The military says ten gunmen stormed the Raddison Blu Hotel and took 170 hostages. The latest word is about 125 hotel guests and 13 employees are still inside that hotel. Now, the u. S. Military Just Announced six americans were safely evacuated. Earlier reports said at least three people at the hotel were killed in that takeover. European nations today agreed to tighten the borders to prevent extremists from chris crossing the nations like those responsible for the terrorist attacks in paris. Streets have turned into shrines for the victims. The french government de announced that one more victim has died. That brings the death toll to 130. Theres currently a campaign by a group of musicians and artists encouraging paris residents to turn on all lights and play music loudly signifying that they wont be defeated. Yesterday in paris, people celebrated one of citys oldest traditions, welcoming the arrival of a new vintage of wine. In the wake of last weeks attacks, many were unsure if the celebration would be held. But they decided to keep the tradition as a show of defiance against the terrorists. Raise a glass. All over paris, life is slowly getting back to normal and people are returning to restaurant and cafes. People refuse to live in fear. Theyre proud of their identity, of their language, of their cities. And, you know, they just want they just want to keep going on and show theyre not afraid. They want to pay their restricts. But at the same time, they dont want to show theyre scared theyre not going to lock themselves up inside. He was at home when the gunmen stormed the concert hall and restaurants and the stadium, killing 130 people. He says that he got a lot of calls from family and friends from here in the bay area, some even asked in he would move back home. But he says at this point he has no plans to do so. Security no doubt will be on the minds of a lot of travelers heading to airports starting the thanksgiving holidays. Jeanine is live at the san jose airport talking about security changes out there. Good morning, jeanine. Reporter good morning, dave. Yeah. More police are patrolling the terminals and outside. In fact we just saw an officer with a k9 Walking Around the area. I want to show you a live look. It has thinned out right now. Were in a slow period. It was busier earlier today. This is the alaskan counter. Check out southwest. A good time to come is right now because it was a lot busier earlier. Something about security that i want to mention. Officers have their eyes peeled. Earlier there was a man Walking Around here who was barefoot. He looked suspicious. And immediately three officers approached him. It turned out he had a ticket. They thought he was homeless or trying to cause trouble. They are on top of it. Lets go to video of what it looked like outside earlier. Travelers started arriving at 4 30 this morning. Airport Officials Say passenger trough being here at the san jose airport is expected to be heavyhanded i theyre estimating a 5 increase compared to this time last year. At sfo, theres going to be big crowds. 154,000 people are expected to go through there today. There will be long lines at the checkin counters and at the Security Check points. Travelers we spoke to this morning tell us they feel safe flying. Theyre not really concerned too much about any aftermath of the paris terrorist attacks. I kind of right now back out here live with somebody who is about to be traveling. Youre from seattle. And you said youre not afraid to fly. Any second thoughts at all when you were leaving . Not at all. The probability of an Automobile Accident on the way to the airport is much higher than any sort of issues with terrorist attacks on airplanes. One of the things that police are reminding travelers during this sort of holiday rush is if you see something suspicious, say something. Is that something that you think people forget about . Do you still think, be vigilant, especially when traveling . Thats always a good idea. I guess things like packages left unattended or something. Yeah. Would you report or do you think sometimes its fine. I should. Im not sure that i would. I would probably first assume that somebody got up to go to the bathroom and left their suitcase there. But i might suggest i probably would attempt to tell someone that looked official, hey, what do you think of that package there. Thanks so much. Have a safe flight. Thank you for talking to us. Were inside terminal c as i mentioned. Lets check out what it looked like outside with cars and cabs pulling up. A little busier. But still not too bad at all as far as passenger traffic. The heavy peak times are 5 00 a. M. To 7 30 a. M. And then pick up from 9 00 a. M. To 12 30 p. M. And then another rush is supposed to pick up at 6 00 tonight. So thats what it looks like out here at the san jose airport. Im sure the crowds at least right now at sfo are also big as well. It looks like a good flow out there right now. You took us right there. Jeanine dell vega. Thank you. Walnut creek Broadway Plaza is opening some of the stores this morning following a long renovation project. Brian flores is in fact in the macys in walnut creek. Brian, i know a macys when i see one. I know you do, gasia. Think back when you were working in retail.

Alameda Sheriffs Department says the deputies were chasing a stolen car. They recovered drugs and a gun. 7 46 now. New data shows more mexicans have left the u. S. In recent years than entered. The Research Center says 1 million mexicans, including american born children left the u. S. Between 2009 and 2014. During the same time span, some 870,000 came to the u. S. Thats a difference of about 140,000. For the first time theres a deficit since the early 90s. Many mexicans wanted to go home to be with their families. Many left because jobs disappeared over several years of recession. Another factor was stricter enforcement of immigration laws. The toughest part of the day for a lost us in the bay area, when you have to sit in traffic. Public transportation isnt always an option. It depends on your schedule and where you work. So pam cook is back in the studio now. Tell us about a new app that may be able to help. Yeah. Its called scoop. It was started by two brothers who want today make a difference by getting more cars off the road and a lot of people and companies are getting on board. Where do you live out here. I live in russian hill. Okay. Yeah. Know it well. The app takes in a lot of data to if i can out what makes a good match for your commute. First choice is a coworker. Then someone who maybe lives near you, works close by and so on. The idea is to help save commuters time and money. So the idea is that we try to figure out based on where you work what the added time would be if you picked someone up, potential traffic and things like that. The bay area is very congested right now. Anything that we can do to take cars off the road, i support. So im going to take a ride this morning with scoop and see how it works. Thats representative eric swalwell. According to scoop 80 of working Americans Still drive alone to work every day. Spending more than 250 billion. Many of those people would actually like an alternative but they wore owe about how it will impact their schedule. Scoop founder and ceo tells us you are guaranteed a ride home. Even if you have to work late or your scheduled ride cancels, they will make sure that you get home. Now, scoop has started partnerships with local companies to make sure that their employees know about the option. Find each other and share the ride to work. Its that big leap. Yes. You can be the driver saying, hey, this is my commute. This is when i leave. Right. And people can hop in and save you money. And the total, carpool lane. The more teem that sign up, the more likely you are to find someone closer to your house and work. Exactly. They have 50,000 people signed up so far. All right. Thank you, pam. The time is 7 48. Lets get the scoop on the commute. It is looking slow but it is improving. This afternoons commute may be a tough one getting out of the city because everybody is going away. Next week we have should later than normal conditions. But the volume is a little better than it normally would be. For example if we were comparing this to tuesday, i think you would see a big difference. Moving along and taking a look at interstate 880. It is slowing northbound past the coliseum. Shouldnt be a problem getting to the airport because the airport exit is before this. If youre coming in northbound, its not all that bad yet. And were also looking at the peninsula. Southbound 101 slow passing san bruno out of san mateo. All in all, not too bad getting to sfo. I advise you to leave plenty of extra time. 7 50. Lets go to steve. Thank you, sal. Well a few high clouds up there. A little bit of fog. More yesterday. Thats for sure. A breeze stirring things up. The weak front is dry but producing the higher clouds over us. And the lows have come way up. We started the week off with 0s and 30 20s and 30s and 40s. Now were in the low 40s. And a bit warm today. Warm for my taste that is. Good morning.

Were also getting a look at holiday rush and pretty long lines developing at sfo, San Francisco International Airport this morning. A lot of people. They expect today will be its busiest day of the year with 150,000 people coming through the airport today. Theyre predicting more than 3 million travelers for the holiday period through january 4th. Up almost 8 from last year. Despite all of the attacks in paris and the things weve been talking about, travelers we talked to say they dont have any special safety concerns. None whatsoever. None whatsoever. I feel very, very safe and secure here. How about you, sir . Im going to the mall. Well, as always the airport says you should arrive at least 90 minutes ahead of your flight for travel here in the u. S. Two hours early for overseas flights. And youre also advised to take Public Transportation since the parking lots out there will be full. All right. Lets check weather and traffic now. Lets do it. A lot of people lucky enough to go down 580 to see their parents. Speaking for myself. Sticking here in the bay area for me thanksgiving,. Get to the airport early and hang out. Dont worry about anything. Just get there. He was right. 580. Sal may have more on that. But our weather is not bad. A band of high clouds over us. Thats about it. The breeze has picked up. A pretty good offshore breeze heading down to downtown oakland. At the surface not bad. The higher clouds are not a big deal. The lows have come way up. On monday, we had 20s, 30s and 40s and 50s. So a noticeable change there. Thats the band over us. Not much to it. Its there. It will drift about. Water temps are really cold. San francisco buoy, 53. We dont see that often.

Near 70 for many. These are well above average for some. 8 03 on this friday. Mr. Sal castaneda has an update on your traffic. Traffic is improving in some areas but slow in others. Wanted to show you 80 westbound. 30 minutes to the macarthur maze. That has improved a little bit. The traffic is not all that bad. Theres still certainly traffic. I want to warn you that this afternoon will be a big traffic afternoon getting out of San Francisco. Driving up 80. People are leaving for the holiday week on friday. Thats why its a busy travel day. Youre going to see a lot of people on the roads. Dont be surprised by this, especially on the big corridors like 80 or 580 getting out of the bay area today. Lets look at the westbound bay bridge. Backed up for a 15 to 20minute delay getting into the city. We had issues earlier in the morning but they have resolved those. Were looking at some of the commutes here. Walnut creek a little slow. Danville, alamo, slow traffic there. 580 is okay. We had an accident in Castro Valley delaying things. That accident has been cleared but traffic is very slow over the dublin grade into Castro Valley. 8 04. Lets go back to the desk. Were hearing that the hostage criess at the hotel in west africa may be over. Over 100 people, including americans were believed to be held captive there. Right. Alex is a sam is in the savage is in the news room. Good morning to you. This hostage drama appears to be over this morning. According to one report, the gunmen who took over the hotel in west africa are no longer holding any hostages. Everyone has been freed. As many as 18 bodies ma i have been taken from the Raddison Hotel in the capital of mali. This whole siege began early in the morning when at least ten gunmen stormed the hotel. They were armed with guns and grenades. Authorities are describing the attackers as islamic extremists that shouted in arabic, god is great. Originally they took 170 people hostage inside that hotel. U. S. Military officialsed officials said there were six american thats were safely evacuated from the hotel. There were also french citizens among the hostages as well. The attackers in the case are an affiliate from alqaeda. But, again, the late word this morning is that all of the hostages being held inside this hotel have been freed. But officials are trying to figure out exactly how many people may have been killed in this terrorist siege. Wow. A lot of things happening there. A lot to sort out. Yeah. Thanks for the update, alex. The time is 8 06. Exactly one week ago today the paris terror attacks occurred. Today the french Prime Minister announced that one more person has died from the attacks. The death toll went up to 130. Also prosecutors announced that a third body, the body of a woman was found in the rubble of that Apartment Police raided on wednesday. The two other bodies included the man suspected of planning the paris attacks and his female cousin. On capitol hill, the house has defied president obama. They overwhelmly passed a bill that puts new restrictions for syrian and iraqi refugees wanting to come to the u. S. President obama says he will veto the bill if it comes to his desk. It would he require new fbi background checks and force National Security agencies to sign off that every refugee coming to the u. S. Does not pose a security risk. Republicans say they worry that terrorists will slip into the country with those refugees. Well, the white house is against the bill as we said. And they released these numbers to support that position. The Obama Administration says the United Nations has referred 23,000 Syrian Refugees to the u. S. About 7,000 have been interviewed by the department of Homeland Security since 2011. A little more than 2,000 refugees have been admitted so far. And so far not one single refugee has been arrested or removed on charges of terrorism. Here at home, San Franciscos push to reduce pedestrian deaths and make safety improvements on the streets is being praised by mayor ed lee. Christian has been in San Francisco since 4 00 this morning. We should find out more today about the success of vision zero and its future. Reporter yeah. We are waiting to learn more about how vision zero has worked so far, what some of the accomplishments are and how things are looking. Lets give you alook at one of the hot intersections. Bay and buchanan. This is the site of that terrible accident last week that left two boys injured. The driver in that case arrested and accused of dui. You can see this intersection there are temporary stop signs out here. Over the course of the morning, we have seen numerous people blow right through the stop signs out here. And let me tell you, it has been chilling to watch. Now, since weve been here this morning, we have seen car after car blow through the temporary stop signs, screech to a halt in the intersection. All kinds of stuff. Throughout city as part of the vision zero campaign, new Traffic Signals have been added and redesigned traffic flow patterns in the city. The mayor hoping to eliminate traffic related deaths by the year of 2024. 30 people are killed on the streets of San Francisco each year. Mayor lee says many of the changes are ahead of schedule and he will talk about the future of the projects in city. We spoke with a woman out walking her dog who told us especially when its this intersection, she is concerned when she crosses the street. It can be. Maybe especially here because theres no stop sign. So i dont really feel comfortable crossing here. I usually go up to the light. Reporter now, again, that woman telling us she is happy to see the stop signs here. Coming back to the mast cam, you can see that the cars are now stopping. That has to do with the fact that drivers can see other vehicles stopping in front of them. So that makes them think that they should stop too. When traffic was lighter and cars were going through the area, you would see car after car either blow right through the intersection or stop in the middle of the intersection when they realized that the stop signs were here. As a matter of fact, i got pretty incredible video on my iphone and post touchdown on my facebook of a red mustang blowing right through the intersection here. Didnt even slow down. Theres a speed bump down the road. Theres all kinds of ways trying to slow traffic in this area, especially since its right near in rain amiddle school. Very interesting. Christian, from what i can see, there is no Police Enforcement of the stop signs today, is there . Reporter well, thats part of what pedestrian advocates say. Yes, a lot of it has to do with slowing cars. But you also have to have the enforcement. Officers need to make sure that people follow the speed limits and stop at stop signs out here. Thats one of the issues here, that we havent seen anybody actually stopped for blowing through this intersection here so far. Okay. Christian captain, thank you this morning. Across the bay, a suspect found dead in a motel room after a standoff overnight killed himself. The standoff started yesterday afternoon at the motel 6 near the coliseum.

It looks like the trajectory of the low will be over land and not water which means little precipitation. But a big drop in the temps from the 70s to upper 50s for some. San francisco today 67. 56 on that low. Average is 62 49. The record not that warm. 75. 41 back in 1961. For san jose, 68, 51. But look at the low. The record low, 22 back in 1893.

Breezy at times in the hills and the coast. But 60s, and 70s. 61 to 66 is where we should be this time of year. Unless youre stuck in a little bit of fog out to the east, i think everyone else rises above, if you will, from 60s to 70s. That includes coast, the city and upper 60s, low 70s on the peninsula.

Because this is one of the busiest Holiday Travel days of the year. Right now were outside terminal c. And traffic isnt actually too bad. The rush happened earlier this morning. Its expected to pick up later. What we have noticed is a heavier Police Presence out here. You know, one of the sergeants that i was speaking to earlier said theres been incidents in the past year of people scaling those perimeter walls. Of course with more people traveling for the holidays, they want to stay on top of it. There are more San Jose Police officers working. We saw this one with his k9 earlier. They have also beefed up their security team. There were plans to increase security because of the Holiday Travel but they stepped it up because of the terrorist attacks in paris last week. Travelers started arriving here as early as 4 30 this morning. They knew it was going to be a busy day today. Airport official officials here in sap jose estimate a 5 increase in passenger traffic compared to last year. At sfo, its expected to be up 8 . 150,000 travelers will go through there today, making it one of the airports busiest travel days of the year.

Im not going to let those people ruin my holiday and vacation. Reporter expect long lines at the checkin counters and the Security Check points. Come 90 minutes before your flight. Tomorrow will also be a busy travel day. Were told that so will sunday and the monday after thanksgiving. Something to keep in mind if youre going to come through san jose International Airport is that the 49ers play that thanksgiving weekend on sunday. And so that monday, they think it will be very busy because besides all of the holiday traffic of people going back home, they think people will also travel for that 49ers game against the arizona cardinals. Were inside now terminal c. Look at it. Pretty dead. 10 00 a. M. They expect it to go back up. As well as 6 00 and 7 00 p. M. Tonight. Just a quick look. Its a good time to come if you have a flight.

If youre north and south of the band, its sunny. Also up in the hills. But 60s and low to mid 70s for some. Sal, 8 35. Sir, youve had a pretty good friday, right. Sort of. I mean, we have a couple things that went on. We had the much earlier accident on 580. An injury accident at highway 87 which is basically northbound 101 near the san jose airport. Traffic is very slow on 101 driving up to this area of san jose. An easy alternate would be 280. Use 280 instead. 280 and 85 are not that bad. If i pull back on the map here, 85 is lighter than usual and so is 280. I would avoid 101. Lets take a live look at 280 in san jose. Its not bad. Thats the best way to go around the problem on 101. Lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza. Slow traffic trying to get into San Francisco. 8 36. Lets go back to the desk.

But in the end, organizers decided keep the tradition as a show of pride and defiance against terrorists. They urged everybody in france to raise a glass. All over paris, life is slowly getting back to some normalcy. People are going back to restaurants and cafes. We talked to one San Francisco native who has been living in paris for almost three years now and he tells us that people are paying their respects but also they refuse to live in fear. The french especially, its not going to be something that is going to change their change their outlook on their safety, they security, what they do in their free time.

He tells us the area where the attacks occurred is normally filled with people and compares it to San Franciscos marina and north beach districts.

He tried it out. All scoop drivers go through a history check. They have to verify they have insurance before driving in the carpool. And the riders split the cost of the commute. No money is exchanged hands. It is handled through the app. Its a fixed cost based on the length of the trip. 50,000 people already signed up. Bigname companies have partnered with scoop to get their employees. Obviously if its a coworker, that makes the easiest ride and commute to work. So safeway, kaiser, gap, a lot of companies are joining in on this. Its going to be interesting to see two years from now. Right. How big this might be. Its a big its a big decision for someone to jump in and do that. It sounds like so far people are happy. Theyre saving about 25 on their commute cost. Good savings. Thank you, pam. The time is 8 43.

And we are live in beautiful downtown walnut creek, Broadway Plaza to be exact. Anticipating the opening of the stores in the area. We will talk about the ceremony planned for later this morning when we come back. All right. We are looking at the south bay commute. We have a couple of issues here.

We will talk about our above normal forecast highs. Great change comes from doing the right thing. Like the radical idea that health isnt an industry. Its a cause. So we do things differently. We combine care and coverage. And believe prevention is the most powerful of cures. So forgive us for not going with the flow. We just think the flow should go with us. Which makes us rebels with one cause. Your health. The gets to work by 8 00. Ids, and always manages to give them a healthy lunch.

Brian flores in walnut creek. Thank you. Lets get back to your commute to where you need to go. Sal, youve done good, sir. Were okay. Yeah. There are things going on that i will mention right now. Theres a report of a new crash eastbound on the san mateo bridge to foster city near the toll plaza of the san mateo bridge. Were looking at the picture. I dont see anything out there. Foster city fire is on the way im told to try to look for this crash. Westbound 92 is a little slow. It leads me to believe there is something out there. I think i can barely see flashing lights eastbound 92. It could be slowing westbound traffic. Lets move along and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Moderately heavy traffic. It will be a busy traffic day today. And this is a look at 101 in the 87 area. Northbound 101. Theres a crash there. 280 and 85 are a better bet. Were getting reports of a bus full of inmates from Alameda County near the shoulder. The Alameda County shave will be sending a new bus out there. If you see Police Activity on 24 near the exit, thats because of one of those prison buses has stalled out and of course theyre going to be very careful with that situation.

We will tell you about the results of a nineyear study and the infection that drastically reduces a womans chances of giving birth. Welcome back.

According to the journal psychiatry, researchers found a mutation of a gene can make you reckless, impulse i have and out of control when youre under the influence. According to the results, the people who carried the 2b receptor didnt become alcoholics but had a tendency to lose corol while drinking. A worm infection may increase a womans chances of becoming pregnant. The infection may have an effect on the immune system. The researchers studied almost 1,000 women for nine years. Women infected with the round worm species had two more children than women without th room. More research has to be done.
