Island tunnel and yorba linda tunnel as folks make their way around the bend. This is where lanes get all jammed up here coming out of San Francisco and its jamming up and they have really brought them slow. Look at the effect of the bridge traffic flow on the sensors. Its jammed up getting past the tunnel itself and backed all the way back into the berkeley curve and approaching on 580 and backing up coming down out of berkeley just as the morning commute was starting to ease and we saw that sensor change and jammed out of the maze over to where two lanes were blocked westbound into San Francisco. As youre saying, kris, staying away from the live shot because police are addressing the situation on the bridge itself. Were looking at the san mateo bridge and it has options for you, as well as b.

The murder conviction came in awfully quickly. Any clues as to how long this decision could take . Reporter none whatsoever. Good morning, sam. The jury deliberated a little bit yesterday afternoon. They are expected back here at 1 30 here at the hall of justice behind me to decide whether antolin garciatorres should spend the rest of his life in prison or be sentenced to die for the kidnap and murder of sierra lamar more than five years ago in morgan hill. Yesterday both sides wrapped up closing argument. Prosecutor david boyd reminded jurors of the suffering the lamar family has been through, especially not knowing where her daughters body is located. Boyd is arguing for the death penalty. The defense attorney countered garciatorres had a rough childhood, lived in poverty and neglect, had a father who was drink and violent and was exposed to pesticides. The defense also pointed out that garciatorres still has two young daughters and should be allowed to live. It took the jury less than five hours to find garciatorres guilty of his crimes. Not clear how long it will take whether he lives or dies for those crimes. The jury will continue to deliberate this afternoon, tomorrow afternoon if need be and they are taking friday off.

Several Media Outlets are reporting that President Trump is expected to withdraw from the paris climate agreement. They are cite being white house officials. Administrative sources are telling nbc news that trump is leaning towards leaving that historic climate accord but has not yet reached a final decision. The president himself suggested in a tweet that he may not make an official announcement until later this week. It took nearly two decades to produce that agreement back in december of 2015 and it requires nearly every country in the world to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. If trump pulls out, the u. S. Would join syria and nicaragua as the only developed countries in the world that are not part of the paris climate agreement. Syria, of course, is mired in a civil war. Nicaragua didnt think the agreement went far enough. A man was arrested at Trump International hotel in washington, d. C. For having an ar15 assaultstyle weapon. Investigators say he also had dozens of rounds of ammunition in his car. The man is a military veteran from pennsylvania and also a trump supporter. Investigators do not believe he intended to harm the president , but a tip led officers to him, and he was arrested for violating washington, d. C. s strict gun laws. Investigators believe the man suffers from ptsd. 11 04 right now and this just in. Comedian Kathy Griffin has been fired from cnns newyears show after criticism poured in from this photo shoot where griffin was seen holding a bloody mask we have blurted. Clearly its grotesque. It was in the likeness of President Trump. The comedian admits she went too far and after widespread condemnation she issued an apology on social media. Hey, everybody, thats me, Kathy Griffin. I sincerely apologize. Im just now seeing the reaction of these images. Im a comic. I crossed the line. I moved the line and cross it had and i went way too far. While President Trump responded to her commentary, tweeting, quote, Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11yearold son barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick. The secret service right now is investigating. Well, if you were up early enough this morning you may have seen a little bit of rain that made my hair frizzy. You got all this volume to begin with and a little extra poof. I looked like a chia pet. I do remember those things. I had one. Kari hall is monitoring the changing conditions. The Golden Gate Bridge looks very different than it did this morning. Yeah. Were seeing a lot of changes around the bay area. Take a look at this view from mt. Hamilton looking over the south bay where we did measure. 01 of an inch of rain this morning, so it was a very light rain that moved through. Were also taking a look at Clear Conditions from berkeley looking across the bay and the temperature there now at 65 degrees. Now, as we go into this afternoon, it is going to be very nice and comfortable. Enjoy the sunshine for the rest of the day and the rest of the forecast for that matter. Were going to be into the upper 70s in napa and concord and lower 70s for most of the east bay and south bay and along the coast we have upper 50s to lower 60s. Heading into the weekend well be a little bit warmer, and ill talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. Thanks very much, kari. Scary moments for flyers on the way to the bay area. Their plane had to make an Emergency Landing after the laptop started a fire on the plane. It happened on board that plane that was heardled for sfo from new york city, but the emergency diverted the flight to grand rapids, michigan. They blamed the lithium battery. They were able to put the fire out before the plane landed. Heres how one passenger described that moment. I kind of smelled it, and the stewardess was trying to like she had like maybe a storage bin and she was trying to get the backpack and trying to basically put the fire out. You could see smoke and smell it. None of the 158 passengers on board was hurt. The flight did eventually make it to sfo but not until midnight. Kris, as youre talking about there. Those are concerns about the battery catching fire. There are also concerns about laptop batteries and terrorism. New developments now in the debate over a potential ban on laptops on overseas flights. The Homeland Security director now saying terrorists are, quote, obsessed with the idea of bringing down a plane. That means there is reason to consider a full ban on carryon electronics that are larger than a cell phone. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is in atlanta with the very latest. This morning the department of Homeland Security says an expanded laptop ban on flights from europe to the u. S. Is still on the table despite a report that the u. S. Had nixed the idea. Still contemplating extending the ban. Reporter on a call with european officials tuesday, dhs secretary john kelly said he would implement any and all measures necessary to secure commercial aircraft flying to the united states, including prohibiting large Electronic Devices from the passenger cabin if the intelligence and threat level warranted. So why the delay . It would be no small change. A similar ban is already in place from similar areas and suspending this who affect 429 flights and 105,000 passengers a day. If this goes into effect, this will be an inconvenience for all passengers across the board. I mean, peoples laptops and electronics are indispensable. Reporter perhaps most impacted business travelers. It would be challenging because youre working on your laptop the whole way. If im not able to bring my laptop back, my work product, that would be a problem. And parents would need to find another way to entertain their kids on a 7 to 12hour flight. Talks between u. S. And european officials are ongoing. The final decision on any potential ban could take weeks. Gabe gutierrez, nbc news, atlanta. All right. 11 09 now. Were learning now details about this really frightening water slide accident in dublin. The video by now you have seen shows a boy sliding off the edge of the slide over the weekend. Cal osha documents reveal that the slide had 17 problems before it opened and that included maintaining water quality, and it also had exposed bolts. On friday cal osha did a followup inspection and signed off on the opening. Then yesterday cal osha investigators told us there appears to have been a puddling of water which caused the boy to hydroplane. The video was shot by the east bay times. The 10yearold, youll remember, was not seriously hurt. That is perhaps the biggest shock of it all. Really amazingly lucky for that young boy. Up next at 11 00, were monitoring breaking news on bay bridge.

As President Trumps soninlaw and Senior Adviser Jared Kushner remains silent white house officials are not denying reports he sought to set up secret back Channel Communications with top russian officials in the weeks before President Trump took office. Youre asking if he approves of an action thats not a confirmed action. That being said, in general terms back channels are an appropriate part of diplomacy. Reporter sean spicer repeatedly saying the president is frustrated with the focus on russia but not offering any explanation for why back Channel Communications would have been necessary. Mr. Kushner has volunteered to share with congress what he knows about the meet. During the transition josh ker did neat with sergey gorkov, a russian banker and close soeshlt associate of putin. Mr. Trump tweets russian officials must be laughing at the u. S. And how a lame excuse for why the democrats lost the election is taking over fake news.

Kari, you said its. 01 of an inch and all of those drops fell on me. I love that tweet. Very early in the morning, and it was wet for some, but then most of the bay area walked out the door and had no idea, so we did have some quick moving rain that moved through here earlier this morning, and now it is all clear. This is the kind of weather well see the rest of the day so our temperatures getting a little bit milder. Were in the upper 60s in the south bay peninsula and trivalley. Looking at three more microclimates. Were right now at 65 degrees in the east bay and in San Francisco 61 degrees with some mild weather. Also in the north bay its now 73 degrees. So as we get a closer look at todays high temp two, we will be in the upper 70s for the south county, and most of the south bay into the low 70s while the east bay will be up to 79 degrees in antioch and oakland will see a high of 68 degrees and some breezy winds.

What transportation officials are considering doing to decongest the busy freeway. But first happening now, russia ordering some estonian and moldovan diplomats to leave the country. Coming as russia is responding to unfriendly actions and countries like india and spain are officially expressing their commitment and support for the paris climate deal as President Trump decides whether to pull out.

How about cutting some of the congestion on what is a crowded commute stretch that you might take to work. Caltranz will consider a busy corridor for its next tollway project. A live look at 101 in palo alto, spot were talking about. The proposed lane would cover high what 101 from interstate 380. The interchange there in san mateo to Santa Clara County. It would free for carpoolers and fellow drivers would have to bone you up for the faster ride. Transportation leaders believe the express lane would free traffic through the heavily congested silicon valley, and some people we talked about agreed with that. We can do some widening here and there, but mostly its getting most efficiency possible out of what you have. Help people get together or carpool more to cut down on being stuck in that kind of traffic situation. How if you want to weigh in on this, there is a Public Meeting tonight. It the gets under way at 6 30 at san mateo city hall. You remember the field trips when you were a kid. Happening right now, more than 100 students, parents, teachers and elected teachers from Santa Clara County talking to lawmakers about public education. Three full buses left Santa Clara County early this morning. Our cameras were there as everybody was loading up and getting ready. Listen to what one student says that he plans to ask lawmakers. I want to show lawmakers why its important for schools to get more funding especially for electives. I feel like while our school has electives like band and choir and art and pbl we can also add more electives like Computer Science and robotics and language. It seems that when the students speak to our legislators they seem to have a little bit more pull, if you will, because its coming in their heart. Its kind of a civics lesson combined with a mobile town hall meeting. You know, when we go up there, we dont run all over the capital. The legislators come to us in a town hall format. Thats pretty cool. Supervisor dave cortez from the last sound bite. He went as well. This is the 15th year for that trip, and these kids clearly know their budget. Yes, they do. Breaking news on the bay bridge. Well take you back there. A huge backup right now as chp tries to talk a man off a ledge.

Reports of a man standing on the ledge of the bridge on the San Francisco approach right after the Treasure Island tunnel, and, of course, thats causing a major traffic jam. Were looking at the situation from afar from nbc bay area skyranger. Right, and now youre going to see it from a water perspective. See how bad this backup gets. It actually began when a red pickup truck stalled in the number one lane. A tow truck driver arrived on scene and the driver of that truck jumped out and as chris just showed you and climbed on to the ledge there. Chp officers are on scene. Negotiators were told they are en route and they are trying to establish a line of communication with that man. Meantime, the number one and two lanes are closed in the westbound direction near the center and, mike, thats backing things up all the way to berkeley and beyond. This is right here. This is University Avenue and this is westbound 80. The east shore freeway. Its supposed to be thing out now, but its actually stopping up, and so is that frontage road as folks are coming down from richmond past the ration track and, of course, to the berkeley curve. Heres what i think happened has you look at the map. The two left lanes are blocked as you approach San Francisco because of that activity you just showed and then they slammed down the speed keeping the traffic held up over on landside because they dont want additional traffic if it can be managed across the bridge so because they are slowing traffic across the bridge everybody is jammed up here and the alternate instead of going through berkeley going north. Thats clear. Its a longer ride but at least its clear and if you want to go south head to the san mateo bridge. Both of those routes are great and so is b. A. R. T. B. A. R. T. Is reporting no delays over to the water and into San Francisco. Unexpected for folks and well track the situation for traffic flow. Its a scandal that rocked the east bay.

Just a few minutes ago San Jose Police got back to us of an overnight incident that happened in the parking lot of the Edenvale Branch library. Officers found a vehicle that was carjacked last month. The person inside the car refused to get out and they were forcefully removed and then arrested. This started about 2 00 this morning. So far that is all of the information that san jose have chosen to share at this point and released to us. Police are looking for a suspect after a lengthy standoff following a deadly shooting in oakland. A standoff started yesterday afternoon on international boulevard near 51st avenue.

Now an update to a developing story weve been covering all morning. The death toll continues to rise after a massive suicide truck bombing rocked the highly secured Diplomatic Area of the afghanistan capital today. Right now Officials Say at least 90 people are dead and another 400 hurt. It is one of the worst attacks that kabul has seen since the drawdown of Foreign Forces at the end of the country in 2014. Nbcs Richard Engel reports. Reporter the bomb exploded at a strategic junction in kabuls diplomatic quarter, the heart of International Efforts to support the afghan government. First responders were quick to arrive. This is, after all, supposed to be the most secure part of kabul. The massive bomb in a vehicle detonated by the gates of the german embassy, the American Embassy shaken but undamaged. Its just a few blocks away and so is an entrance to a fortified military base that served as the headquarters for american and nato troops. The base wasnt breached. The blast went off around 8 30 a. M. , just as embassy and base employees, mostly afghans, were heading to work. The Trump Administration is struggling to come up with a new policy for afghanistan. The country is more unable than its been in years, and bombing alone isnt fixing it. After recently dropping the socalled mother of all bombs on what the u. S. Military called an isis tunnel network, u. S. Officials say the u. S. Administration is considering spending up to 5,000 more american troops to the country. That would bring the number of american troops to well over 10,000 fighting a war once said to have been all but won. So who is responsible . There are multiple militant groups that operate in afghanistan including the taliban, al qaeda and isis. The taliban quickly denied responsibility for the attack which were make isis the most likely suspect. Richard engel, nbc news, london. All right. We want to get a look at that forecast. It was a little whack they morning, but now normal. Is it going to stay normal, kari . It will. Well start out with morning clouds and afternoon sunshine and it will be warming up just a few degrees. Cooler today, cooler than average, as we get a look at the temperature trend for fremont and looking ahead to the weekend, thats coming up next. Nbc bay area responds, weve recovered over 750,000 for our viewers. If you want help, call us or visit nbc bay area responds. Com. On september 9, 2010, pg e learned a tragic lesson we can never forget. This gas pipeline ruptured in san bruno. The explosion and fire killed eight people. Pg e was convicted of six felony charges including five violations of the u. S. Pipeline safety act and obstructing an ntsb investigation. Pg e was fined, placed under an outside monitor, given five years of probation, and required to perform 10,000 hours of community service. We are deeply sorry. We failed our customers in san bruno. While an apology alone will never be enough, actions can make pg e safer. And thats why weve replaced hundreds of miles of gas pipeline, adopted new Leak Detection technology that is onethousand times more sensitive, and built a stateoftheart gas operations center. We can never forget what happened in san bruno. Thats why were working every day to make pg e the safest Energy Company in the nation. A major back up on the bay bridge. The situation on the bay bridge continues right now. Looking at video from earlier when it first started, it was a pickup truck stalled on the side of the bridge, but then when a tow truck arrived a man got out of that truck and climbed one of the alleges there on the bridge, and the backup has grown ever since then. You can see it. Nbc skyranger is watching over that part. Mike ennui is watching the maps because there are a lot of detour routes that advocates are taking and those are getting clogged. Reporter and the detours to suggest. This is westbound 80 underneath university. Its jammed at richmond all the way to the berkeley curve. Well show you on the map, as kris said. The Speed Sensors are jammed up. Two lanes, as kris showed you, blocked on the Center Anchorage getting over to San Francisco forcing folks over from the harrison street side over in towards the fremont street exiters, and then they have to sort themselves out again so be very careful. We dont want a trash to deal with in addition to the chp activity they already have. We have traffic slowed at the bay bridge toll plaza and through the maze as well, 580 and 880 bogged down. More folks headed south to the san mateo bridge will help relieve the traffic flow. If youre in berkeley consider going across the richmond to san rafael bridge and down into San Francisco. Its a longer route. Two tolls, but at least you stay out of that backup. Back to you. This has been going on for almost an hour at this point. No resolution yet. We certainly do hope that its peaceful. Mike, thank you very much. Lets get a look at the forecast. Kari, toys feeling a little bit warmer, and you said it was going to be downright toasty by the weekend. Yeah. Its going to start to warm up, especially inland. The coast really wont see much of a change here as we go into the next several days and then looking farther down the line, it looks like well have some warmer weather. Maybe youre planning to head somewhere like the mendecino coast. We dont have the marine layer as the fog has rolled away. Also looking at the Golden Gate Bridge and also all of the sunshine overhead. Some breezy winds as weve seen the tourists standing out there enjoying this cloudfree day, and it didnt start out that way earlier this morning. Taking you farther south, all there as well as the temperatures are feeling milder and were now in the midto upper 60s in the bay area as you get ready to step out. Its also fairly breeze reand the winds will continue to pick up today and because we did have a quick moving system that moved through earlier this morning and now were heading into some drier weather, were into a little bit of transition, and we will have the winds picking up. Onshore and youll see it most. Sustained winds at 16 Miles Per Hour in San Francisco with highs today reaching the upper 70s and for parts of the north bay as well as concord, livermore today youre looking at a high of 72 degrees and also 72 for the high in palo alto. San francisco 63 degrees and youre almost right there now. So as were getting out and enjoying more time outdoors, the tree pollen is still moderate and maybe that Early Morning rain will help washing things out of the air temporarily but it wont do much to help things how the in the long run. Well continue to see a moderate amount of tree pollen in the air, mostly all of them pine and if youre making plans for the week, one event you might want to help out. It will be cloudy to start during the morning this saturday as our temperatures will be in the low to mid60s and then upper 60s for the rest of the day, and over towards napa temperatures will be warming up there, and we go from bottle rock last weekend to some live music happening all around napa valley this sunday, and it will be in the low 80s with mostly sunny skies. A little bit warmer than the weekend we just, and looking live at heavenly right now, the clouds rolling in, but they will be clearing out in time for the start of the weekend and our high temperatures reaching into the upper 70s. A few more clouds and then cooling off to 71 degrees on sunday. Looking at the sevenday forecast for San Francisco, our temperatures are going up a degree or two each day. The warmest day in the forecast for San Francisco will be on sunday, and then starting to come back down, but the inland valleys will continue to warm with that lack of an onshore flow. Well see those temperatures going to the mid70s for the next couple of days it and into the low 80s for the weekend. It will still be comfortable but then really starting to warm up by the beginning of next week. Well be up to 87 degrees next tuesday. Ill have another quick look at the forecast coming up a little bit later. Kris and sam . All right, i think that qualifies as toasty. You were right on that one. Wearing a costume for a good cause. The reason this man walked for 24 hours around lake merritt dressed like a kitty cat. Thats todays bay area proud.

Daytime lineup omni cover shoin t pretty sure you didn t spend it like one east bay man. No thats right what you did over your memorial day weekend were pretty sure like you did not spend it like one east bay area man. Its not what he did but how long he did it and what he chose to wear while he was doing it. Garvin thomas joins us today with todays bay area proud. Reporter we recently told you about oaklands cat town. This one rescue group with their cat cafe is largely responsible for cutting the oeuthanasia rat by more than half. The director says it has a lot to do with their dedicated staff. Just how dedicated . Well, just watch. Jay ruiz is not a psychic. What he is a volunteer coordinator for cat town, an oaklandbased cat rescue group, so no, no psychic abilities for jay, but yet this past weekend jay had no trouble at all reading peoples mind. Yeah, people did think i was a little nuts Walking Around in a cat suit. Reporter we are pretty sure he was correct on that score. For 24 straight hours, from noon on sunday all the way through the night until noon on monday jay walked and walked and walked around lake merritt. 17 laps in all, close to 60 miles, all wearing a cat suit and not as one group of young men he met along the way guessed as part of a fraternity initiation. I appreciated that they still thought i was 19 so that was good. Awesome and ive gotten a lot of that. Two more hours. Reporter jay was walking to raise money for cat town. The nonprofit is participating in a competition with other rescue groups this week. The ones who raise the most money can earn thousands of bonus dollars and cat town, thanks in part to jay, is well on its way to raising 60,000. The money will go to doubling in size its already incredibly popular storefront Adoption Center and cafe, which is the reason why no matter how much jays feet hurt. Ow. And the answer was a lot. He wasnt going to quit. Knowing that every step was a chance to possibly save a cat in the shelter, in the end totally worth it. This really hurts. Reporter its the kind of dedication any nonprofit would love to inspire along their staff, and jay says. Thank you. Hed do it all again tomorrow if he had to. Im going to fall into your arms. Im strong. Ill catch you. For the moment hes glad he doesnt. You did it. This is actually the second long walk jay has taken on cat towns behalf. Last year he walked from san jose to oakland but not wearing a cat costume. Well find out what he has planned for next year. Good afterno garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. When he sat cat suit, i think it would be slinkycality suit. Not an actual cat costume. One person is giving him a big hug at the end there. Well be right back. A major back up on the bay bridge. We have reports of a man st we are continuing to follow that breaking news, that major backup on the bay bridge. Reports now that negotiators are either there or enrout to ta rok to the man on the ledge to cause him to calm down off the ledge. We have skyranger over the scene and were monitoring it that way and some of you have places to go and mike is monitoring that part. One of the places to go is not the bay bridge itself. Look at the toll tlaplaza. Its 11 56. Lets show you the map. Its jammed up across the span to Treasure Island, a jam for the east shore freeway and an approach out of the maze because of that. Folks, avoid getting to the bay bridge throughout the east bay. Instead go north towards the richmond and san rafael bridge at the top of your screen and san mateo bridge west are the other options. Look how clear it is through oakland and hayward. 92 farther south is a good alternate and b. A. R. T. Is a good option as well. Thanks, mike. And were getting ready for the rampup in temperatures that kari has been telling us about all week. This wont be a huge heat wave moving into the bay area. You can see how the temperatures in San Francisco go up a degree or two each day up to 70 degrees on sunday, and then for the inland areas, low 80s this weekend. Not too bad, but it does continue to warm up next week, and well continue to see those temperatures heading into the upper 80s by next tuesday. All right. The unofficial start of summer was this past weekend. Sure. Got your barbecue in and it was overcast and now like the yuckiness is gone. It actually looks like summer. Not a Holiday Weekend so you can actually go places and not be enjoy it. Got it right, kari. You never got to taste your barbecue either. Im going to post a picture of my husbands chicken. Invite me hover for dinner. You have a great day. Stand by, everyone. Were live in five, four, three, two, one. Monogamy is a very tough order. There are periods of time in a womans life hormonally, in a mans life hormonally, where its very edgy and precarious. It really runs the risk, if you will, if youre not aware that you could maybe screw up a really good thing. Goldie hawn talking to peoples jeff cagle. Fascinating what she has to say about monogamy at 71. Does she look fantastic . Shes the most youthful person out there. When i think of her, i think of that smile, and i feel like everything in her life is
