to the union, but they're waiting to hear back. >> bart negotiators looking grim saying nothing walking into talk. >> new mediators, anything. >> but union representatives say they're encouraged to be back. >> we're hopeful. >> we hope we can get everybody back to normal. >> yeah. we want to go back to work. >> both sides were dressed down in a letter from state leaders who said they were disappointed at the lack of proposals and counter proposals and that bargaining had been abandoned. there's been a backlash from two days of excruciating commute. >> they're worried about money and all this. this isn't helping anything. it's not helping anybody. it's really inconveniencing everybody. >> that anger is not lost on either side. >> we hate to see people suffer so the best thing we

state mediators replacing the lower-level ones who had been working at the negotiations. the governor announced anita martinez, chair of the public employment relations board and loretta vand van der pol are taking over. the union approved. >> the reason we're coming back to the table is because we have what we feel is a better working situation so we can maybe make some progress now. >> well, tonight one of the five different employee groups that are negotiating with bart did come to a tentative agreement. those are the 200 workers who are the professionals and managers and supervisors, they will be going back to work tomorrow, but, of course, allen, we're weight to hear from the real people, the bart train operators and train ajents. >> linda, if, i realize there's a big if, but if there is an an agreement, any idea when the trains will start running again. >> on the off chance there's some agreement late tonight or early tomorrow morning they say they can get some of those bart training partially open. to get the full service, however, it would take 24 hours. >> all right. >> we are looking at some of them coming out right now so maybe something may have broken. we'll get

nothing. >> those were some of the bart management that came out but nothing yet. >> all right. be sure and get back to us if there is. we'll look for that. >> bart had a handful of empty trains running today. managers were at the controls to keep the tracks from rusting. chopper 5 followed this one to hayward where many more trains were sit l idle in the yard. the rest of us, it was another rough ride. freeways in and out of the city were jammed and the rush on bart's free shuttle service was so bad the buses in walnut creek were full by 7:00 a.m.. >> got here later here yesterday, 8. 30, -- 8:30, i was able to get on the shuttle. why i'm here now earlier and can't get on the bus. >> not even 8:00. we need buses to get to work. you guys promised them. the strike is ridiculous. you should have planned them. you told me on the phone last night 7:00 to 9:00. >> bart plans to bring in even more buses to walnut creek tomorrow. if you hoip to snag a seat, show up by 7:30 at the very latest. well, belief it or not, the one place that saw less traffic today was the bay bridge. mike sugarman shows us getting to the bridge from downtown san francisco wasn't so easy. >> that's bush

ufk see the fog there. heat waves usually only last a couple days, but, paul, tomorrow is going to make an a week. >> this is a very long heat wae. several years have gone by. 103 way back on friday, and we've done 100 or better every day since including today's 102 degrees. even though you saw that fog, there it is cooler near the bay, every inland area now is under an excessive heat warng not through tomorrow night but through thursday night almost right up until fireworks time. here's the reason why. big ridge of high pressure anchored over utah and western nevada if anything got a little bit closer to us, a little bit stronger until the high pressure moves the heat away from the water isn't going to move. i don't see a change the next 36 hours. there is a definite end in sight to this

involved a lot of one on one teacher/student tienl. as an adult, the memories now give her the creeps. >> 28 kids in a line and he would pick us up from underneath our armpits and spin us around and now that i think about it, it was very strange. >> tonight we got no answer at martin's martinez home where police arrested him last week. they did a two-month investigation after he was accused of

roller coaster. that's what people do. they scream. >> we're happy they're screaming on the coaster. we're hoping they're enjoying it and making noise. the reality of it is we to be a good part of this community. >> it has direct line of sight to the building and it's where riders are especially noisy. >> the gold strike ser closed. >> great america has taken the unusual step of shutting the ride down and began construction on a so-called sound tunnel to suppress the noise. when it's done it'll look just like this larger tunnel. >> we want to work with the city. santa clara has been good to us for a long time. we've got good neighbors. we want to be part of that community and fabric there and do what's best for everyone involved, as well. >> riders were frustrated but understanding.

with sunburns but also skin cancer and things like wrinkles and toe toe damage. >> i might try it if they had other people try it first. >> but the biggest study only had 12 people in it and the effective dose is not known, plus because it's a supplement, the manufacturer is responsible for safety, not the fda. >> i would never rely on the pill alone to protect you from sunburning or skin cancer. at this stage it's more after an. >> the f da rested regular topical sunscreen and it has actual spf number but the pills don't. you need to use something because man is it intense out there.
