Overnight road work wrapping up. Developing news this morning, democrats are calling for the resignation of attorney general skregs. Thats after the Justice Department confirmed sessions did have contact with russias ambassador to the u. S. On two occasions. Sessions did not disclose those discussions when he was questioned under oath during his confirmation hearing. His spokesperson says there was absolutely nothing misleading about his answer. She says he was asked about communications between russia and the Trump Campaign, not about meetings he took as a senator and a member of the Armed Services committee. If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do . Senator franken, im not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and i did not have communications with the russians. And im unable to comment on it. The attorney general quickly responded late last night in the statement saying, i never met with any russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false. Democratic leaders are tweeting their thoughts. California Lieutenant Governor gavin newsom writes, sessions, our a.

A complete investigation into the cause of the crash could take up to a year and a half. Well, what do you think of this. Marin is looking at letting buses use freeway shoulders during the commute. Its a controversial idea thats been done in other parts of the country. Heres nougs reporter Amy Hollyfield to explain how this would work. Good morning, amy. Reporter good morning, reggie. What do you think . Theyre thinking outside the box up here in marin county. Its an interesting idea. Its gaining some traction. Heres how it would work. The buses would be allowed to ride in the shoulders on highway 101. The problem on congested 101 for the buses is they are in the far car pool lane and then they have to cut across lanes of traffic to get to the bus stops on the other side. Well, this complicates things for all the cars in its way. According to the marin independent journal, the idea is to allow the buses to slowly drive on the shoulders, maybe 35 Miles Per Hour, or at the most, 15 Miles Per Hour faster than the traffic in the next lane. Highway 101, though, only has shoulders in marin county north of the civic center so the bussed wouldnt get a smooth right all the way into the city, but officials think this would help make the bus trips quicker and could possibly attract riders. No word on when this Pilot Program would get started, but its an interesting idea for you to ponder as you commute this morning. We are at the novato park and ride parking lot this morning to hear opinions of bus riders so check back in with us to hear from them. Reporting live in novato, Amy Hollyfield, abc7 news. An interesting idea. Thank you, amy. Passengers aboard this british air waze flight have quite a story to tell this morning. Sky7 showing their plane landing after a fourhour delay. The reason for that . A mouse. Heres abc7 News Reporter lilian kim with the details. Reporter British Airways passengers arrived at sfo exhausted, their london to San Francisco flight delayed more than four hours because of a mouse on board. It was spotted when everyone was buckled up, ready to go. Somebody saw a mouse that scurried under one of the doors. They kept us on the plane for about 15 minutes, told us that we had to get off the plane because they couldnt fly with the mouse. Reporter passengers went back to the terminal. Despite the delay, many kept their sense of humor intact. Its clear the mouse cant enter u. S. Air space without a passport but you know, in general, i think it makes sense because i wouldnt really want to eat food on a plane that had a mouse. Reporter its unclear how the mouse got on the plane, but the rule is if there is one on board, the aircraft is forbidden to fly. Otherwise, the consequences can be dangerous. They have the ability to gnaw through a lot of things, including wiring, and this is one of the last things you want is something gnawing through the wiring on a jet liner, whether its in flight or not. Reporter when flight 285 was finally ready to go, British Airways said everyone holding their own passport is now on their way to california and we are sorry for the delay. I think if you ever see a mouse, you dont tell anybody. That would be my advice unless you have five hours to kill. Reporter a tiny house that caused a Big Inconvenience for hundreds of passengers.
