Any way that you see it, you might as well drive where the streets have no name. All of the other streets will be crowded. 7 02, lets go back to the desk. The President Administration is defending the president against claims that he may be guilty of obstruction of justice. This goes back to a memo that was reportedly written by former fbi director james comey. Doug luzader has the story from washington. Reporter it is a memo written by james comey that is at the center of the latest white house controversy. Just as the fbi was investigating former National Security adviser mike flynn and his ties to russia, comby and trump met privately in the oval office. Someone read the memo to the new york times. Comey reportedly wrote that the president told him, i hope you can let this go. Clear evidence for many democrats. That is obstruction of justice. And that is a very serious matter. Reporter the white house fired back. The president has never asked mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation. But now the republican chairman of the House Oversight committee wants what comey wrote. If there are memos or documentation, we would like to see that from the fbi and we have given them a week to produce that. If i need to issue a subpoena, i will issue a subpoena. Reporter defending the president has become complicated, with many republicans steering clear now. Some stunned for the explanations for comeys firing and the president s decision to share intelligence with russian diplomats. Who is going to step out and defend the president s in the denials that could very well be true when you have seen what happened to republicans who stepped out in denials on two other cases and were left on an ice flow off of norway. Doug luzader reporting. Senator john core anyone cornyn took himself out of the running for the new fbi director. He thinks that it needs to be an independent chief. Ef. Our time is now 7 05. Happening today, we will learn more about an arson suspect arrested over the weekend, suspected of setting cars on fire throughout Contra Costa County. Authorities arrested the 36 yearold man in benecia after he allegedly set another vehicle on fire. He was booked on 43 counts of arson. He is being held on about 3 million bail. The controversy copt county Fire Protection district will give us more information about them and why they are confident that he is responsible for all of the fires. We are learning more about a man shot and killed on Treasure Island last week. The man was found by his roommate in a home on avenue b one week ago. The chronicle reports that he was a San Francisco state student just days away from receiving his masters degree in international studies. The school plans to issue his degree to his family. No word on any arrests in the case. The time is 7 06. A highly contagious norovirus is making its way through Public Schools in san jose. Doctors believe ten schools have been affected so far by the norovirus. They are nine Elementary Schools and one middle school. Leigh martinez is in the south bay this morning. And were told that more than 200 kids have become sick. Good morning, leigh. Reporter good morning, we have outside one of the schools hit by the virus. More than 20 students are sick here. Public health says that it is very unusual that so many students, especially this time of year, have gotten sick by this virus. Now, it is believed that the first cases surfaced at Hacienda Elementary School on may 4th, when two children in the same class became sick. Cleanup crews spent the evening disinfecting classrooms with bleach after 80 students reported getting sick this month. Among them, 4yearold emanuel lopez. He was out of school all last week after he came down with a nasty stomach bug and lost five pounds because he was vomiting so much. A stomach ache and the fever and vomiting. And then all body have the pain. And then for all week. For five days. Reporter the San Jose Unified School district started seeing students with similar symptoms ten days. It suspects it is the noro virus, an infection that causes vomiting and diarrhea. It has spread to ten schools. At hacienda, after School Events were canceled this week, hoping to get ahead of it so it doesnt impact graduation. Nurses will teach students this week about good hygiene. The best way to prevent the virus is continuously wash your hands before you eat. Make sure that you are thoroughly washing your hands. We reached out to the School District but we havent heard back yet. We dont have any reports of teachers and staff getting sick. All right, Leigh Martinez in san jose. Thank you. It is an exam that students spend all year preparing for. Now students at one school have to retake it. Allie, it appears that the School President made an innocent mistake here. Reporter yes. That innocent mistake, a photo that the schools president took and posted on twitter. According to the San Francisco chronicle, the tshirts day of the the first day of the ap exam, the principal took a photo of the students about to start the exams. He posted it on twitter with encouraging words. The tweet has been removed. But Marin Catholic and the schools president are fairly active on social media. The photo was apparently intended to boost moral and provide some encouragement to the students. Ill show you the video that we are talking about here. But the College Board which oversees the ap exams and has strict guidelines about seating arrangements saw the photo on twitter and determined that the tables were too narrow and too close together. Now, the College Board informed the school earlier this month that 177 students would have to retake their ap spanish, government, English Literature exams. The school tried to appeal the decision but that was rejected. Its not clear when they will retake the tests if they havent already. This is not the first time that Something Like this has happened. The ap College Board is strict about its regulations and proctoring the exams. Last year at Gun High School in palo alto, there were 800 students who had the scores invalidated and they had to retake their tests also because of the seating arrangements at that school. Certainly its disappointing for students and teachers who spend all year really preparing kids for this exam. Back to you guys. Allie, thank you. Yeah. The time is 7 10. Did you hear what happened at the Golden Gate Bridge. I saw it. Some daredevils. And they posted this on youtube. Two mean climbing the Golden Gate Bridge. No safety equipment.

Making San Franciscos roads smoother after a very rainy winter. The multi dollar project that was Just Announced. Two young men from wisconsin could be prosecuted for their daredevil stunt at the very top of the Golden Gate Bridge. They recorded and posted video online of them climbing the Golden Gate Bridge last month and performing somersaults and back flips without any safety gear. The two High School Seniors are at the top of the bridge, 750 feet above the water. They say it was all part of their spring break adventure. Break adventure. I have been climbing my whole life. To try to scale the Golden Gate Bridge was like just a natural idea. So we went there and we went for it. The two were on the bridge for ten minutes. They shimmied up the ropes and bypassed security measures. The bridge district found out about the stunt about a week and a half ago when they saw the video on the internet. They kept it quiet so not to attract any copy cats. Our Security Systems are developed to keep people from harming the structure. Our Security System is not designed to prevent thrill seekers harming themselves. The brimming district is promising to increase security. They say the sensors, alarms and cameras are concentrated on the bottom areas of the bridge which are the most vulnerable. The two climbers are profiting from the video after they licensed it. They could be charged with misdemeanor trespassing which is punishable by up to a year of jail and a fine of up to 10,000. One of the climbers agreed to identify weaknesses in the security on the bridge and hope they dont face charges. The question of the day is should the Golden Gate Bridge climbers be charged or should the addition trick work with them to fix security flaws . Let us know what you think by voting on ktvu.

We are finding out about air travelers that may soon have to leave laptops and other electronics stowed away on flights from europe here to the u. S. Alex savidge is at sfo to get to the bottom of this and see what travelers are saying. Good morning, alex. Reporter dave, good morning to you. Certainly travelers are not thrilled about the idea of having to stowaway their laptops and their tablets. This is prompted by terrorist threats to aairline airline security. Laptops were banned on board flights that are coming to u. S. Airports from certain countries in the middle east and africa. And now government officials are considering a similar ban on board flights headed here from europe. This move could impact more than 60 million travelers a year, more than 400 flights. Later today, a u. S. Delegation will be meeting in brussels with european government officials to talk about the specifics of this Electronics Ban. And this morning were talking with passengers here at sfo about how this might impact them. Its a valid point. But at the same time, to stop everybody, you know what i mean . Because a lot of people are Business People who use the laptop day in and day out and that may cause an issue. Reporter the department of Homeland Security says the concern is that terrorists have developed techniques to smuggle explosives inside laptops and get them on board planes. Now, there is controversy surrounding this rollout. You will remember that President Trump is accused of leaking classified information after discussing an Electronics Ban and this potential terrorist threat with russian officials during a meeting at the white house just last week. Now, according to some reports out this morning, an expanded Electronics Ban for european flights headed here to the u. S. Potentially could be put in place within the next couple of weeks. Dave.

Most will be driving to where they are going even though that gasoline prices are up about 11 cents a gallon over last year. But train and plane ticket sales are also up. That is offset by the higher Consumer Confidence in the economy. The time is 7 37. Jurors will continue to hear testimony in the penalty phase of the garciatorres murder trial. This segment of the case started just yesterday. The assistant d. A. , david boyd, told jurors this part of the trial is about justice. Last year the jury found Garcia Torres guilty of murdering sierra lamar in 2012. Her body has never been found. The prosecution took the evidence , the fact that sierra lamars body has never been found and using that as an aggravating factor saying that she extinguished her life and left no trace behind for her family. The only question remaining is whether he will die from Natural Causes while behind bars or by lethal injection at a time chosen by the government. Up in napa county a mother accused of killing her 3year old daughter plans to take the stand. Kruger and warner trial will start this morning. We dont know if kruger will testify.

They exhibited a willful and blatant disregard for the safety of the people who came into this building and the people who lived there. Now, pg e issued a response. It says, we have reviewed our records and over the past ten plus years we have no reports of electric thefts from this location or the adjacent premises. A spokesperson for the Building Owner declined comment. Alameda county is still conducting a criminal investigation into the warehouse fire. Criminal charges cannot be factually or legally supported. At least two people are dead from severe storms in the central u. S. The National Weather service recorded 20 tornadoes in nebraska, kansas, oklahoma and kansas and wisconsin.

A live look at 280 getting up to highway 17 shows some slowing. And speaking of improving from yesterdays cloudy, mostly cloudy weather to todays mostly sunny. It will be warmer. Temps slightly below average. But warmer temps for the weekend are on the way. We have new developments in a 2 investigates report about an alleged Sexual Assault at palo alto high school. A 14yearold former student at the school says she was forced into a School Bathroom by an older male student and forced to perform oral sex. We have learned that the student athlete accused of the attack has decided to leave school and wont complete his junior year there. That news did little to keep tempers from flaring at the School Board Meeting last night. Some parents are upset that the student has been attending class since last octobers alleged attack. Its unconscionable that the student was allowed to remain at the school. An attorney representing the student accused of the attack issued a statement that says, quote, the District Attorneys Office has declined to file anything against the student other than consensual underaged Sexual Activity on the campus. The student has elected not to complete the school year on campus. The time is 7 46. The uc board of regents will vote to create a new policy for nonresident student enrollment. If approved starting in the fog of 2018, uc would cap the percentage of nonpresident students at uc schools at more than 18 . The percentages at four of the campuses, ucla, cal berkeley,uc irvine and uc san diego are between 19 and 24 . The new policy would allow the campuses to keep those percentages but not increase them.

Traffic is slow coming out of novato past lucas valley road. Another minor crash on the parkway onramp to southbound 101. So the 101 freeway is not that good right now coming out of novato and heading down to san rafael. A couple of breaks in the action. This is a look at the Richmond Bridge approach. Better than yesterday when we had the problems. But there is definitely slow traffic from castro street exit on westbound 580 getting up to the pay gates of the bridge. Napa northbound 29 there is a crash that is blocking the freeway here. Northbound 29 is shut down until they get this out of the way.

If youre going, know what youre dealing with. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. Health officials are alerting the public about what is believed to be a norovirus outbreak in ten different schools. Ktvus Leigh Martinez reports on what is being done to protect students and teachers. Reporter Public Health says the virus is typically seasonal but it is unusual that so many children are sick this late in the year. Now, the district is scrubbing down crass rooms twice classrooms twice a day and they called parents and emailed them about the outbreak. It believes the first case surfaced on may 4th at Hacienda Elementary School. Cleanup crews spent the evening disinfecting classrooms with bleach after 80 students got sick at hacienda this month. We are seeing new cases cropping up every day. We are being vigilant in making sure that we do our best to make sure it is contained as much as possible. For whatever reason the virus spreads more during the colder months. Reporter the san jose School District saw students with similar symptoms ten days ago and suspects it is the noro virus. It has now spread to ten schools. The best prevention is washing your hands before eating or preparing food. Hacienda canceled all of the after school programs. And nurses will come in to teach kids about proper hygiene. Leigh martinez, ktvu fox 2 news. More than a thousand students have come down with symptoms. Two thirds of the yolo county schools are infected. Dozens of students at Marin Catholic high school found out they have to retake the ap exams because of an innocent mistake. Allie rasmus is here to explain what happened. Allie. Reporter well, 8 00 and classes are now underway at Marin Catholic high school. Before the school day started, we had a chance to speak to a few students impacted by all of this. A total of 177 students at Marin Catholic found out they have to retake their ap exams. It is all because of a photo that the schools president took and posted on twitter. According to the San Francisco chronicle, may 1st, the first day of the exams, the president took a picture of students sitting at tables about to take their exams. And that Rina Catholic is pretty active on social media. Ill show you video of their twitter page right now. The tweet has since been taken down. The photo was intended to boost moral and encourage students about to take their test. The College Board which oversees the ap exams and has strict guidelines about seating arrangements saw the photo on twitter and someone at the College Board determined that the desks rather the tables that the students were sitting at were too narrow and too close together. A violation of the exam rules. The College Board informed the school earlier this month that 177 students would have to retake the ap spanish, government, chemistry and English Literature exams. The school tried to appeal the College Boards decision but that appeal was rejected. Pretty frustrated. But i know that theres a test that i can take in college so i can get credit there rather than taking the ap test again. The only test that i have to retake t i have two finals that day. There is no chance that i have. Im kind of bummed. Reporter now, we reached out to the schools president for comment. We havent heard back yet. So far most of the students we talked to are disappointed but they understand it was an honest mistake and that the president s intentions were good in taking the photo and trying to encourage students. This is noting the first time that Something Like this happened. Last year at Gun High School in palo alto, 800 students had their ap test schools invalidated because of the seating arrangements where they took the exam. But students and teachers spend all year preparing for the ap exams. If you do well on the ap exams, you can get College Credit for it, which subpoena why people invest the time and money and the fee to take the exam, which is 100 per test. Some of the exams in talking to the students take as long as six hours. Four to six hours. It is a big investment of time and energy that may have been wasted in some cases. Back to you guys. I cant imagine the students have to pay for the test again, do they . Reporter that, im not sure about. We are waiting to hear back from the president here to find out what exactly the procedure is. But i think a bigger a bigger importance in some of the students minds is the stress involved with taking the exam, preparing for it and again the time commitment. You know, four to six hours depending on the test. And they thought they were done. Allie rasmus, thank you. Russian president putin says that President Trump did not pass on any secrets to his foreign minister and he can prove it. They will hand over a transcript of the meeting over to the u. S.

A couple months ago we had the ban put in place. Passengers were banned from using laptops and Large Electronics on board flight thats were come flights that were coming here from the middle east and africa. Now the department of Homeland Security is considering a similar ban for flights headed here from europe because of security concerns and terrorist threats according to the government.

Delegation will be meeting with european government officials about the specifics of this new ban, which, again, has not been put in place yet. This morning, passengers here at sfo say those new restrictions potential restrictions would be inconvenient but they seem to be necessary. If the intelligence information says that that is what is happening, then you have to accept it. And then, you know, we need to travel safely. Reporter Homeland Security says the concern behind these restrictions is that terrorists have developed techniques to potentially smuggle explosives inside of laptops and get them on board flights.

Reporter one Economist Says the housing crisis is a chronic problem, decades in the making, that has the potential to slow job growth. Were seeing job growth in the bay area has slowed down from where it was one or two years ago. And one of the reasons for that is declining housing prices in the bay area. Reporter when we reached out to gary brown, his office sent us this email, praising the growing economy of california and improving traffic with the gas tax. As for housing, we would encourage bay area residents to consider other beautiful regions of state before looking elsewhere. San joaquin and Riversidesan Bernardino have been two of the Fastest Growing regions in california thanks to lower housing and transplants from other parts ever the state. While moving to san joaquin, riverside, San Bernardino is not the solution that bay area residents are looking for, we pressed on housing solutions.
