As President Trump marks 100 days in office, here are some of his actions since he took office on january 20th.

Other rallies earlier this year ended in violent clashes. Yesterday though people battled with their words, not their fists. The vast majority of berkeley lefties support free speech. Support the right of someone like ann coulter to speak. Who is the arbitrator of free speech . Who decides what it is or what it isnt . Hate speech is free speech. At the end of the day, police made five arrests for drugs, resisting arrest and trying to incite a riot but berkeley called it a relatively peaceful event.

The trains are not on the same schedule but you can go get a bart train into San Francisco. The trains are moving and can take you into and out of the city which is where most people are going. Lets look at highway 24. The traffic this morning is just a little bit lighter here between walnut creek and oakland and on 680. Just a little bit. If you drive it every day, you would notice this is just a breeze drying up to the tunnel with no major problems. Bay bridge looks the same. About 25 minutes before you make it on to the span. Nothing happens and this Traffic Volume continues, we should expect clearing in the 8 00 hour or maybe in the 9 00 hour. Were hoping for the 8 00 hour.

High pressure has been out here for about three days. It needed help to kind of build. It is getting that from a low digging into the four corners. That also generates the old wind machine. 70s to near 80 degrees. The breeze is turning a little off shore. That will be a little off shore tonight and into saturday and then turn more northwest on sunday. This will translate into a fabulous day over by the coast. You get a north wind out to the valley. No advisories there but some for the San Joaquin Valley and down to Southern California. Dont have to worry about anything in the sierra. You can see the airflow is coming out of the north. That has allowed fairfield to go up, up, up to 57 not. Brentwood is 59. Santa rosa is 48. Woodside at a cool 42. Menlo park 43. Los altos also 43.

San Francisco Muni is considering eliminating the cash option. Rob roth was there as one of the conductors made his first court appearance. Reporter it is one of San Franciscos most popular tourist attractions. Fantastic. Reporter most passengers buy the 7 cable car ticket on board and pay the conductor in cash.

It is else barassing embarrassing. This is why we need to get out of the cash business. That is an attractive thing. When youre handed a lot of cash, a lot of people dont know how to handle that properly. Reporter the Transit Agency is considering going to a cashless system. Instead of buying tickets on board, passengers would purchase tickets in advance. What would be required is things like ticket machines and fee locations as well as what i call the distribution network. So someone could go you know, come in and check into their hotel and get a cable car ticket. Reporter that seemed fine with many tourists. I think that would be a safer way to pay for the car instead of paying cash. Then you know where the money is going. It is really better to pay here. In cash. Yeah. What if they went to a ticket thing . It would you have to plan better. Reporter the Transit Agency says it would take about a year to get a cashless system up and running.

There was a big problem this morning that caused a big delay. We will get to that in a moment. I do want to talk about San Francisco and some of the other commutes, san jose. We have been looking at them. Generally lighter than usual. Northbound 280 doesnt look that bad. Up around the corner though you will see slow traffic as you get into cupertino. It is not that bad. It slows before highway 17. By the time you reach highway 85 it is better. It just generally looks a little better than normal. 880 is slowing from about hayward down to about the fremont city limit. And after that it looks better into the south bay. The Contra Costa County commute, highway 4 has been slow. And sex six is a little slow approaching the walnut creek interchange.

No major problems getting into the city from the east bay. We are following that developing story on bart. Major system wide delays due to a disabled new bart train. Christina rendone is live in hayward where that train will eventually be pushed to, right . Reporter thats exactly right, sal. The disabled train will be brought here to the hayward maintenance yard. This is where they try to figure out what is wrong with trains. Were told this was a new bart train that did stall this morning at the leak merit station in oakland. Earlier this morning, we actually recorded video of that train as it was being pushed by an older train southbound to try to get it out of the way so that regular trains could start their commute service. This was, again, a fourcar train, part of their fleet of the future. We are told that it had finished the overnight testing on the m line and headed back to hayward but it broke down at lake merritt for some reason. Thats why they had to single track around the train before they could get it out of the way. Bart says this has not happened before. It is unclear what caused the train to disable. But we asked if this was concerning. It is all part of the testing process. Until we actually know what caused the train to not be able to move, you know, im not going to speculate whether it is concerning or not, whether it is a major issue or minor issue. We will have to wait to see what the engineers find out about what happened this morning. Reporter we do know that bart has been testing the new cars for several months now and they are going to do that until they can make sure that theyre confident in their ability to run smoothly and not have any issues on the line. As well as making sure that it is safe for all passengers. Now, we do know that, again, this new train car that stalled out at lake merritt will likely be brought here here to the hayward maintenance yard. Probably late tonight. They want to make sure that all service is finished for the day before they bring it back. For now that train is on a separate track outside of the san leandro station. It will stay there until the rest of the day, until all of the issues are resolved. The good news for commuters, these delays are slowly letting up. So things should be getting back to normal by now. Thank you, christina. The time is now 7 36.

Now, bart also plans to crack down on passengers who dont fay the fares. At last nights board meeting, the directors talked about raising the barriers, hiring more security officers, and closing the swing gate for the disabled except for the one right next to the station agent. At lake merritt bart station, it didnt take long to find people going through the swing gates without paying the fare. How often do you not pay them . The average, about every day. I cheat. Why do you cheat . Sometimes i might not have enough money for it. Now, bart is estimating it loses between 15 and 25 million a year because of fare cheaters. The time is 7 37.

Larry is a democrat but likes to hunt and strongly supports the second amendment. He believes policy makers on both sides need to seek common ground. The nra has always had a policy that if you if you give an inch, they will take a mile. I dont think it has to be that slippery slope where one compromise leads to drastic measures. It is not about taking somebodys rights away. It is not about inventorying anyones firearms. It is about preventative measures to help end gun violence. Reporter every day an average of 90 people in the u. S. Die in gun related incidents. Amy of moms demand action says common sense legislation can help curb the numbers. But attorney john monroe of georgia carry contends existing laws are enough. Nough.

Because of the system in the four corners, we will have 70s today and lower 80s look possible tomorrow inland. Coast and bay will be fine as well.

Bart is definitely going to be one of the things that were following, steve, because early this morning, one of the brand new trains that they test overnight ended up stalling at the lake merritt station. It took a while to get that train out of the way. The train had to be pushed by another train. There is the new train. Kind of hard to see. It is one of the newer trains. It was completely dark. It was being pushed out of the way by a regular train down to bayfair and found a site to put it to get it out of the way. Regular Train Service is moving but delays have been pretty much all morning long. Not as bad as they were. Right now bart is running trains in and out of San Francisco and there are still lingering delays. I want to mention the traffic on the bay bridge earlier was slower. Now it is recovering. Nearby, by the way, there is an injury accident southbound 880 at oak street. If youre leaving the macarthur maze and heading south at oak street there is a crash there. We might get pictures coming up soon. If youre driving down to the airport, 880 at oak street will cause a delay. Lets look at san mateo bridge. That is moderately heavy heading out to the peninsula. Northbound 101 and 280. It is slow. There was a crash there. You can look at the peninsula. It is beginning to fill in on 280 and 101 northbound and southbound. Lets go back to the debts desk. Thank you, sal. A standoff that began at 7 00 last night is still underway. A homicide suspect is holed up inside of a vehicle in martinez following a deadly shooting in walnut creek. Leigh martinez has more on the story. Reporter well, the latest is that a lot of the roads will remain closed today. Douglas drive adjacent, there are county buildings such as Veterans Affairs and child services. Those will remain closed today. If you have business in those offices, you will not be able to get in today. Off to howell road there, you can see the suspect vehicle and the s. W. A. T. Team surrounding the car. They have been there since last night. We did see a robot on the road as well. The suspect who is wearing a ball cap appears to be talking on the phone and with officers standing by his car. Now, police said earlier that he had a gun with him. From our Vantage Point here, we cannot see if he is still armed or not. Now, the manhunt took place at multiple locations yesterday. It started after a woman was shot and killed yesterday afternoon on the 1900 block of first avenue in walnut creek. Walnut creek Police Believe the suspect picked up a silver her aid hes and fled to martinez. The police surrounded the suspect on howell road at 7 00 yesterday evening and are still in a standoff with the suspect. This video from earlier this morning appears to show a shots fired. It is unclear who fired, the suspect or police. A robot was deployed and seen approaching the suspect. Subpoena something may have been passed between the suspect and the robot. Nearby neighbors are told to shelter in place. Three people say they have been stuck in the starbucks parking lot all morning. I spent the night with a friend. And then this friend went to work. And ive been in this parking lot since 4 00 this morning. I want to go home. There were helicopters all night, which was really annoying because it was obviously bothersome to the whole neighborhood. The lights and stuff you could see it happening. Starbucks is definitely slower today because of the blockage. People have to take detours. I have customers telling me that they have to take detours to get to starbucks. Reporter now, currently howell road between vista way and pine street is closed. Police have not released the identity of the suspect. They also have not released the identity of the victim from walnut creek yesterday from the fatal shooting. As you can see, they are still out here. We havent seen much progress made. Just the s. W. A. T. Team surrounding the car. The roads will remain closed. Neighbors are frustrated. They dont know when they can get back into their house if they were not able to get back last night. We placed calls to Walnut Creek Police who is the lead agency here and we have not received any updates as of yet. Thank you for that. President trump warns of the possibility of a major conflict with north korea. This comes as the president prepares to mark 100 days in office. Doug luzader has more from washington. Reporter members of congress here on capitol hill have been briefed on the north korea threat. It is the president s blunt message that is really getting attention this morning. New video this morning out of north korea. Military drills and rhetoric heating up. What is dictator kim jongun planning and what will President Trump do about it . In a radio interview, the president did not mince words. There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with north korea. Absolutely. Reporter its no secret that north korea has been scrambling to develop both Nuclear Weapons and longrange missiles. When those two come together, then certainly parts of our country are at grave risk. Reporter Homeland Security secretary john kelly spoke of the danger and Rex Tillerson tells fox there is a diplomatic path here, that china has agreed to lean on north korea. In fact we were told by the chinese they informed the regime if they conducted further tests, china would be taking sanction actions on their own. Reporter beyond that, the white house has public support for the new stance. A poll shows that a majority, 53 of registered voters favor military action to stop north koreas Nuclear Weapons program. Back at home in the meantime the president s legislative agenda has stalled somewhat on capitol hill. A vote on Health Care Reform that the white house was hoping for this week has been pushed back. But a temporary spending bill to avoid a possible Government Shutdown on saturday is moving forward. And that would be good news for the president who was hoping to avert a Government Shutdown, especially tomorrow when he marks 100 days in office. In washington, doug luzader, fox news. As President Trump marks his first 100 days in office tomorrow, we will look at some of the president s actions since he took office january 20th. One of his first actions was to sign a executive order to build a wall along the border of mexico. The debate how to pay for the wall continues today. He signed an executive order from muslim majority countries entering the United States. That was blocked by a court and another order was blocked weeks later. Neil gorsuch was sworn in earlier this month. And the president ordered a military strike on syria after dozens of people were killed in a chemical attack. As President Trump marks 100 days, the question of the day is how do you think the president is doing . Better than expected . About what you would expected or worse than expected . We asked you the same question when the president marked two months in office. Back then, 60 said better than expected. Today we want to know how youre feeling now. We will look at the results so far. 17 say better than expected. 28 say about what i expected. 55 , the majority say worse than expected.

At the building on webster street. The suspect was arrested 30 minutes later. Police heard an explosion and noticed a fire in the front of the lobby. Officers then put the flames out using a fire extinguisher. No one was hope. It has happened in the past. It is something that were very aware of. We speak to our civilian employees about safety practices. Because it is a police department, it is a target. At this point theres no word on a possible motive. Police say the fire bombing though may be tied to two similar crimes in fairfield just hours earlier. Both an apartment complex and a car were fire bombed in fairfield. Hearing about another problem at Albany High School. The school discovered an Instagram Account that contained sexually explicit pictures of the students. The principal emailed parents telling them that School Officials reported the incident to albany police. This follows a series of racist incidents at the school. There were protests on campus as a result. The future of an Elementary School in alameda could be decided an emergency meeting. The building housing the Elementary School on san creek way could collapse during an earthquake. They have recommended closing the campus and sending the students to other schools as soon as this fall. The school board could make that decision tonight at 6 30. Lets check in on the commute. Sal, happy friday to you. Well, mike, happy friday to you. Thank you. Were having kind of a friday commute out there in some areas in some respects but we have a crash in oakland on 880 southbound. You see it blocking the right lane. You can see that theres a flatbed tow truck and they were also laying down absorbent material out there. We have a crew you might be able to see our crew there, showing the traffic here on 880 southbound coming out of southbound oakland as one lane is blocked. As our photographer turns the other way, there is chp and the badly damaged vehicle that also spilled a bunch of fluid and at least one person involved in the crash now. Southbound 880 if youre trying to get to the airport, one lane is taken away from the crash. Traffic will be slow as you get out. I would recommend using eastbound 580. If you off at edwards, that is one of the shortcuts that you can use. Lets go and take a look let me advance my camera here and go to 880 at the coliseum. And you can see traffic northbound is going to be a little slower northbound coming out of 238 and heading up to downtown oakland. The traffic gets better once you reach downtown oakland. Bay bridge toll plaza you will see the traffic here is backed up. It is better than it was. Just about a 10minute delay making it on to the bridge. On the san mateo brick, it looks good bridge, it looks good out to the highrise. Lets go to steve. Not quite 80s but 80s this weekend. Very close today. But tomorrow looks like a slam dunk for some inland for sure. It will be nice for everybody. A little breeze and wind. Cant get rid of that completely. The ridge of High Pressure never goes over us but it will be close enough that we will get warm temps. Adam would like you to know that the benecia classic car show is this weekend in beautiful down toe benecia. That is on saturday. The pacific dream car show out in Half Moon Bay is on sunday. I think unless theres a little bit of fog, which is certainly possible in Half Moon Bay, the next couple of days looks great. Temperatures will be warming up. Plan accordingly. Also padres in town for the weekend. Tonight at 7 15. Clear skies. Maybe even a little easterly breeze. On the mild to warm side. 68. I won be surprised if somebody in the city gets a 70. 77 for santa rosa. 74 for livermore. And 75 for san jose. After yesterdays 70 degrees. Have a little component of an easterly breeze for some or north northwest. It is more driven out towards the valley. Look at vacaville. The napa airport is calm. Coming right down out of the northwest. That sends down occasionally higher clouds. So far theyre favoring coastal areas. 50s to 60s. We did have briefly some 30s up in mend sip owe county and lake county. For about half an hour, danville showed 39. Thats not the case anymore. If youre get that breeze it is in the 60s already. 30 up in truckee. 62 las vegas. Southern california deals with a lot of wind advisories. Either high Wind Warnings, same for san joaquin and Santa Barbara and l. A. Some are going down to phoenix raceway. It is cloudy down there and in the 80s and breezy and windy as well. You see the system moving through right there. For us, mostly sunny skies. Breezy at times and blustery. Big system dropping into the four corners. We have High Pressure off shore. The result is sunshine and warmer temps. Looks good. 60s and 70s. If you can maintain the north breeze, it will be nice into the weekend. Maybe a little cooler on sunday. And warmer early next week. Happy friday to you, mike and gasia. Thank you, steve. Youre welcome. The growing concern among hospitals. Why more people are using Ride Share Services to get to the hospital instead of ambulances when they need help. [music] its the 1980s on mornings on 2. Because the temperatures are going to be in the 80s. Remember this song . Requested by jenny ray. Ktvu and thats how i saw this request. We play your requests every friday morning using ktvu on twitter. Hit me up. It is call sals traffic jams. Just hit us up. The time is 8 24. A growing trend causing concerns among medical experts. More and more people are using lyft and uber to get to the hospital in an emergency instead of calling for an ambulance. Reporter if you had a medical emergency, who would you call . I would probably call an ambulance. Reporter most would have a similar thought process. 911. Would you ever think about calling a Ride Share Service like lyft or uber . Reporter thats right. It is a growing trend. Instead of calling an ambulance, people are requesting an you knower or lyft to take them to the hospital. It doesnt make sense to me. Reporter some riders say they would do it because of money. It is cheaper than an ambulance ride. Reporter it could cost less than 30 bucks. For an ambulance right it ranges from couple hundred dollars to 1,700. Cost is always a concern. Thats true. But if its my family member, i would sure like you to call the closest ambulance that is available. Reporter with 30 years as a first responder, Mark Beecraft knows in a life or death situation, minutes matter and so does the equipment and skills you have available. Sometimes its very crucial that time is of the essence. Reporter ambulances are basically mobile hospital Emergency Rooms and are costly to maintain and staff. Last year, the north davis Fire District billed around 2 million for ambulance rides. But less than half of that was collected. Most was written off. No Fire Department or lance services collect Ambulance Services collect near what they bill. Reporter if youre having a stroke or a heart attack, medical professionals say a Ride Share Service isnt the one to call. Its just unsafe. I think uber has its place. It is just not in emergency medicine. Facebook ceo Mark Zuckerberg is keeping his promise to travel to every state by the end of the year. His first stop is detroit, michigan.

Welcome back to mornings on 2 this friday morning, april 28th. Im gasia mikaelian. Good morning, everyone. Im mike mibach. Lets check in with steve paulson. I love the sunshine. Im not a big fan of the wind. It was gusty yesterday. You have a lot of company on that. A lot of people dont like the wind. We will have some today but not as bad as yesterday. Coast and higher elevations. There were 45 to 50 Miles Per Hour gusts yesterday. High pressure is building in pig time. It will stay off shore. It is not moving over us for the next couple of days. That will equal some 70s and 80s. But more likely tomorrow to get the 80s. Gusts to 30 Miles Per Hour. Beautiful over by the coast. In fact we get a little north wind or an easterly breeze. That will help. Mainly out to the valley. 28 due north at fairfield. Due north at vacaville. Napa airport says calm. Farther to the valley, better opportunity. And also Southern California for wind. Any way you look at it, we have lots of sunshine except for a few high clouds. It wont matter. 50s to 60s on the temps. Oakland airport is already 58. Set for sunshine and warm temps today. Not just today but also tomorrow. You see the system developing in the four corners. That will be a Severe Weather mega. There is the ridge of High Pressure. It is firing up now. Sunny for all today. Upper 70s to near 80 for the weekend. 8 31. It has been a tough morning for bart. Better news . It is. We have our ace reporter Cristina Rendon who will be here in just a moment to talk about the details. But there are to your answer your question briefly, there are bart delays still right now because of what happened this morning. We will talk about that in a moment. I want to get to this crash in oakland on 880 southbound which was backing traffic up heading south in an area where there is usually no backup. They have the vehicle or an suv actually on a flatbed tow truck. It should be out of there soon. But traffic is slowing down out of downtown oakland going south. You will see northbound traffic slowing down out of san leandro driving into downtown oakland. 580 is slow to the lake shore curve. The bay bridge just as i suspected, if you go back and check the tape, i said in the 8 00 hour, it will clear up. Thats because of the Traffic Volume. Here we are 8 32 and it is beginning to clear up. Thats because we dont have the Traffic Volume. I saw it early this morning. And now here we are. If something happens all bets are off. Right now it looks good. If you can wait a little longer, it will completely clear out for you. If you are taking bart this morning, you may experience some residual delays. As i told steve, there was a new disabled bart train that caused delays at the lake merritt station. Lets go to Cristina Rendon who is live in san leandro to tell us what happened. Reporter good morning, sal. Thank you for that wonderful compliment from you. I appreciate it. Yes, this is a disabled bart train. It is right behind us. You can see it is one of their new trains, part of their fleet of the future. It is here outside the base air station. It is on a separate piece of track, making sure that it does not affect all of the other trains that are in normal service. I want to take a live look from our mass cam here. You can see it from above. You can see all four train cars now from this bart train. And for some reason, this new train just stalled out overnight at the lake merritt station. We saw it actually this morning as it was being pushed by another train to get it out of the way. And that was right after the Oakland Coliseum station is when we actually saw it being pushed. But bart says this is one of their new trains and it had it had undergone overnight testing. They do that periodically. They have been doing overnight testing on the new train cars. For some reason, it broke down at the lake merritt station. Thats why other trains had to single track around it, causing all of the backups and all of the delays this morning. But they were able to get it here to this separate pocket track at base air in san leandro. They are saying that things are back to normal. Everything is up and running. So commuters should not see any more delays. There could be some residual delays. Earlier there was a 20minute residual delay. Hopefully things have cleared up. This new train will stay here, disabled, for the rest of the day. Once service ends, it will probably be pushed back and hauled to the hayward maintenance yard tonight so engineers can look at what went wrong and figure out what exactly happened. And i asked bart, is this concerning for you . This is one of your new trains. They said this is part of the testing. We have never had this happen before. We will make sure that we figure out the issue before we say whether or not it is concerning. We are waiting to hear from bart later this morning. Hopefully will have that at noon. Thank you. Cristina rendon. Barts chief of Police Say Crime on bart was up more than 20 this year even before the mob of teenagers robbed passengers at the coliseum station. Jennings says the rise in crime mostly involved stolen cell phones and other electronics. The spike in crime on bart follows three years of decreases. The police chief says bart has increased overtime to assign more officers to certain bart stations. Since march 11th, 19 people between 12 and 21 years old have been arrested for robberies. Bart plans to crack down on passengers who dont pay fares. At last nights meeting, bart directors talked about hiring more enforcement officers, raising the barriers at bart stations, and closing most of the swing gates for the disabled, except for the one closest to the agent. It estimates it loses 15 to 25 million per year due to fare cheaters. Bart is planning to move into Santa Clara County. The station in milpitas is months ahead of schedule. It will open in december of this year. The station will be at the corner of east capital avenue next to the great mall. Bart opened the new warm springs station in southern fremont last month. A thief in San Francisco is going straight for the Postal Service truck. It happened yesterday in the castro district. These kinds of male thefts mail thefts are becoming more and more common. Reporter the delivery started out normal. It was around 1 00 that he left his us Postal Service truck for a few minutes while he dropped off mail. When he returned, he discovered that his window was smashed and he had been burglarized. It was broke on on this side. Reporter the thief took one of several trays of mail. It was just the magazines mostly. Mostly magazines. Yes. Reporter one neighbor claims her red 1950s style dress was stolen on the truck. She asked people to keep an eye out for it.

Reporter were told that the suspect was a white male wearing a red bandanna and took off on a bike with a blue recycling bin strapped to the back. They are crediting the postal worker for calling in the crime right away. The key to the investigations is the reporting.

Reporter the u. S. Postal service has a standing 10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
