the newscast. now, the reason that we're asking you is because a new report says facebook is seeing a usage reduction of 50 million hours per day. when you divide it all up, that's an average of two minutes lost per person. >> we told you last week that mark zuckerberg made changes, including shorter viral videos. true to his word, he reacted to the drop in usage saying it's aid good thing. he's happy about it. by focusing on meaningful interaction, the time you spend there will be more valuable and make facebook stronger over the long-term. >> which, to be fair, is what you would say if that happened. you would say quality over quantity when you see numbers drop. we'll see how that affects his bottom line in the future. let's go now to sue hall. she has a look at traffic troubles this

the sunshine, it will work its way through. 69 at 4:00. we'll keep the high clouds around in the mild conditions at 7:00, 57 to 60. let's get more news from natasha and reggie. >> breaking news from

to abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield. she's live at the south hayward b.a.r.t. station. amy? >> reporter: quickly, take a look at that train. just going through. it's going rather slowly. that's because they are single tracking through here. it's passing right now right by the problem area. you see that maintenance truck out there working on the track. that is where the problem is. a worker -- a maintenance truck was out there this morning and it derailed. so they are now single tracking. this is the warm springs line. this is between union city and south hayward. expect delays. what happened was that maintenance vehicle derailed and they believe that it damaged the third rail. so that's what they had to fix. no eta on when they're going to get this fixed. we do see a lot of workers out here and more are arriving. so it looks like they are -- they are still in the problem solving mode. not in the wrapping up mol we'll stay on the story and keep you posted as we can.

morgan hill. he also works at schools in gilroy and morgan hill. the incident did not happen on school grounds. the fundraising battle between two of the candidates in the san francisco mayor's race is heating up. board of supervisors president london breed has raised more than $300,000 since announcing her candidacy last month. she's almost on par with one of her rivals, former state senator mark leno. he received more than $400,000 in contributions last year. the board removed interim mayor london breed last week and replaced her with supervisor mark farrell. that was a controversial move that some labeled racist and sexist. the special election will be june 5th. a blur in the seismic movement on the hayward fault most likely caused the pipeline break in hayward over the weekend. tom broker says a rupture occurred along the hayward fault ripping the street near margaret drive and highland boulevard. it created a large sinkhole on monday. you can see the fast moving river of water. >> it's moving about a fifth of an inch per year. that doesn't sound like much. but in 40 years, you know, it's getting close to ten inches of motion. and so ten inches of motion is enough to stretch some pipes. >> last big one on the hayward fault was 150 years ago. experts say we are due for another one. the san francisco district attorney's office will toss out or reduce thousands of criminal convictions for marijuna that is going back decades. d.a. george gascon says more than 3,000 misdemeanor convictions will be reversed and the defendants' records expunged. his office will take another look at nearly 5,000 felony convictions. the move is allowed under ballot measure that legalized the use of recreational cannabis. many of the convictions no longer make sense he says. >> i believe that long ago we lost our ability to distinguish the dangerous from the nuisance. it has broken our pocketbooks, the fabric of many of our communities and we have not been any safer for it. >> people have been convicted of violent felonies are not eligible. happening today, possibly help for marijuana merchants. there will be a hearing to consider the creation of a public municipal bank in the city. right now cannabis businesses are operating on a cash-only basis because of federal laws against the drug. banks are reluctant to take mayor money out of fear of future legal trouble. the

the blind called lighthouse says it will be able to open the summer camp this year. >> the fire destroyed some cabins and bathrooms in napa. enough of the campus survived for them to continue. they will begin accepting applications february 7th, which is a little later than usual. the deadly fires in the north bay and southern california are the most expensive wildfires in state histo history. insurance claims reached $11.8 billion. the state insurance commissioner is confident insurance companies have the means to pay the claims. >> the state law is that if the evidence shows that an uncovered peril, the mudslides, caused by a covered peril, in this case, the fire, they should pay. that's the preliminary indications and that's what i expect them to do. >> the state cautions the claims do not include the losses associated with the mudslides in santa barbara county. right now, all eyes are on the apple earnings report that's due out today. should be an indication of how welt iphone x is selling. this is typically the bay area company's biggest fiscal quarter of the year. it's typically strong because of the releas of their new phones and the holiday season. you'll remember that earlier this week, we reported production costs -- cuts i should say due to weaker than expected demand for their new models. this earning report due today will include sales of the iphone 8, the 8 plus and the iphone x. jessica, thank you. seismic improvements at a now closed school will cost more than the district can afford. donald elementary school closed after soil samples showed it was at risk of liliquefaction. to make it safe will cost about $34 million. they plan to hold community meetings to get ideas on ways to come up with the funds. san francisco voters are a step closer to deciding if they want to pay more taxes to give teachers more money. leaders submitted more than 16,000 signatures to put a partial tax measure on the june ballot. the tax would raise about $50 million for teachers salaries and education technology. bottom line, it would cost property owners almost $300 more a year. san francisco, like other bay area cities, are facing a teacher shortage. it's driven by the high cost of living here. a peacock comfort animal is igniting a debate. airlines are cracking down on what they say are fake comfort an mams. disability advocates say it will hurt people with legitimate service animals. delta airlines required more proof of the animal's support qualifications. they need to be submitted 48 hours in advance. all of the major guide dog programs are contesting the new policy. the organization issued a statement. if airlines followed the ada guidelines for what is legal for a service animal, we would not be in this horrible situation
