Were trying to get more detail on the equipment problem theyre having between the millbrae and san bruno staigs station. Thats an issue for the peninsula right now it will likely ripple out toward the rest of the system. Expect delays on bart. But not on the roadways. Maybe carpool with someone over there thats an option for you. A smooth drive around much of the bay.

Reporter well this is what downtown houston has been waiting to see, some a few of these gas stations are now open and some restaurants are also beginning to open their doors here in this metropolis. We found only one gas station that was open in the 40mile radius yesterday. This morning more are turning on the pumps. Thats good news for many, about other parts of houston are still faced with a lot of uncertainty. Two nearby communities that thought they were spared the wrath of Hurricane Harvey found themselves seeking higher ground. There were many more evacuations yesterday and the fear is more are expected today. The forced rerelease of water from dams and reservoirs is sending that water into unsuspecting neighborhoods. One family who volunteered helping flood victims the day before ironically found themselves in the same need. We woke up to two feet of water on the first floor and they all had some tears. Reporter in that true texas spirit the locals tell me they will fight through this. A community that is sticking together during one of the nations worst disasters. Again, gas stations are beginning to open up again as this Community Begins to heal from this devastation. Were in downtown houston, im damien tra hee hoe, today in the bay. 5 36 right now.

He was later arrested after his car crashed a few miles from the hotel. 5 36 and new this morning, attacks, burglaries and fair evasions just some of the problems bart still faces this morning as they work to deter those crimes. But this morning were getting a better idea of what bart is doing to curve some of those problems. Pete suratos is live in walnut creek with some of the answers to our questions. Good morning, pete. Reporter good morning to you, markus. And today in the bay has reached out to bart regarding a number of these issues specific whether i it comes to cracking down on crime. Heres information were getting from barlt. First off, were going to start with how theyre preventing the number of salts and robberies reported on extensively over the past few months. They tell us that officers are being deployed to current hot spots where theyre seeing a lot of these incidents that theyre occurring in and what theyre referring to as their robbery suppression detail. Theyre aggressively looking to hire more officers. Nearly 40 positions theyre looking to fill in the next year and a half many an aggressive effort by bart. Another big issue for bart is fare evision and they gave us the numbers. What were learning from those numbers is that those fare evasion numbers, those tolls were fairly high the months of february and march but took a dip in may through june. I want to point out thats when bart police ramped up its focus on this specific issue spot in those specific months from may through june the overall incidents are down 20 . The citations down nearly 30 and field interviews rartding fare evasion incidents down nearly 20 . And bart tells us the number of fare evasion incidents in august unfortunately nearly doubled those june numbers. And when it comes to fare evasion, it costs the bart system overall more than 25 million annually every year. Were live in walnut creek, pete suratos for today in the bay. And petes talking about one part of bart where were trying to make improvements and evaluation. Right now were following bigger delays because of bart, equipment problem. Unspecified. The friend of our desk is checking with bart to get more detail to give us a better idea about how long it might take but its developed in over 20 minutes delay on the peninsula and likely will ripple throughout the system if it doesnt clear up soon. Meanwhile look at the roadways and a good option for you to carpool pr that bart station and maybe get on the roadway there and take the train, caltrain desperate from there as well. We have slowing south 880 toward industrial, it looks like the crash may have moved to the shoulder but it was in lanes for a few. Well. Everyones looking ahead to the weekend, of course we want to know that forecast. We know its going to be a hot one. Were all planning around this weather with extreme temperatures expect and it will still be dangerously hot on saturday. Well be up to 109 degrees for the inland valleys, the bay at 95, and 89 degrees at the coast. How about that. Well, also on sunday just slightly lower for the coast, up to 84 degrees, 94 for the bay, and 103 degrees inland. Lets check out all of these events going on, this is just a few of them.

And then on sunday as well we have the bah gonya festival in cap tolla, well be cooling down just a little bit there and that will be the trend heading into next week.

Well talk about how that affects your commute as well as were tracking the rails. Its 5 44. New details overnight including dramatic new Video Connected to one of the billest bay area busts in years involving a gang. Authorities say terrorized several east bay communities. This video just posted overnight showing a violent shooting in a Richmond Convenience store last august. A 15yearold girl was shot and injured just outside that store. And this morning, Richmond Police are revealing new details about the suspect now in custody and some of the many crimes theyre connected to. The crimes covered a sixmonth span and happened in a dozen east bay cities, including orinda, danville, and stretching from livermore out to brentwood. There are new images of the seven suspects now in custody. An eighth suspect identified as car dell waters is still on the loose. Investigators say all the members of the swuv team are a North Richmond gang. The men are being tied to three murders, 14 attempted murders, car jackings, robberies, and Home Invasion robbery in free noont actually helped lead to the arrest. Security video inside a home provided the major break they needed. Also new this morning, Police Released this shot audio linked to deadly shooting last november 6 an aint teenyearold richmond man in which 68 shots were fired. [ gunshots ]. Its almost hard to believe. Police say another shooting of an Orinda School Board member. This newly released video show some of the arsenal the gang members actually used in their crimes. A quarter to 6 00 now, switching gears, President Trump will meet with his treasury secretary today, talk about tax cuts. Scott mcgrew here and were still waiting for those details about who benefits and how. They say theres a plan but we use that plan word plan loosely because we havent seen much beyond bullet points. The president spoke about it in missouri on wednesday. And i am fully committed to working with congress to get this job done. And i dont want to be disappointed by congress, you understand me . Now, there are two big questions. One, if youre going cut revenue you have to cut spending unless you want to be throw gasoline on the deficit. But theres no clear plan to cut spending to match the proposed cuts in taxes. And we in california are waiting to hear if were still going to be able to deduct what we pay in state taxes from our federal taxes. We can now, but under the new plan we might not. Some critics are wondering if the president should have been talking about tax cuts after he left texas. This is maybe not the right time to talk about reducing federal coffers, they say, when the nation is facing such a big bill from the storm. Meanwhile, on twitter some people are criticizing president obama for playing golf during Hurricane Katrina wondering where was obama when ka treene april hit . On vacation and didnt answer for three days. Now i know youre probable li ahead of me on this one. Barack obama was not president when katrina hit louisiana, george bush was. And you would think people know that simply because they remember it. Back up enough people have questioned it.
