But they decided to cancel that press conference to focus on this little boy who was shot dead this morning. They believe ceasefire is still working but not everybody apparently believes thats the case given the killings in recent weeks. Live here in oakland, im da lin, kpix 5. A car chase through oakland lot of a trail of damage behind. It started at frank ogawa plaza. The suspect plowed into car after car before finally crashing at isabella and san pablo streets. Multiple ambulances responded to the scene. That was about 3 p. M. This afternoon. Not clear whether the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Volunteers covered cokes neighborhood. Everybody in the neighborhood reporter at home near this Apartment Building parking lot on 32nd, cokes car was found monday night. Our office deals with criminal investigations on the defense side so i think were all very proactive, creative and concerned. So this is our opportunity to do something. A truly painful thing to have somebody who you love and who has family members who depend on her just disappear. It is just unthinkable. And you read about these stories in the media. They happen to other people. They dont happen to you. [ crying ] and its hard. Reporter cokes sister tanya wonders if her sister is being held somewhere against her will, maybe even hopes that. So far, no one is really talking about anything worse than that. Liz . Don, do police think her job as an investigator has anything to do with her disappearance . Reporter you know, it certainly sometimes like that putser in company with some pretty sketchy character that puts her in company with some pretty sketchy characters working for the federal government. But she works on the side of defendants. If anything, those people should be on her side. But police are looking into everything and dont know anything yet. Thank you. Bart talks took center stage today. Both side showed their hands and made their case to a special package appointed by the governor. Kpix 5 reporter ryan takeo on the numbers game that is standing in the way of the deal. Reporter we havent seen this before, a public airing of the dispute between labor and management. Bart cannot economically continue to provide the benefits it currently provides unless those costs are shared. Reporter bart told the three Member Panel Formed by Governor Brown the district provides what it wants for healthcare. It says workers can keep paying what they do now if they stick to certain plans or pay the difference. Bart adds its proposal is an 18 million giveback to Union Workers and that the unions counter is 100 million more over four years. The unions say the agencys number are inflated. They say they are only 56 million apart. The parties bargained from a position to get to the middle. Some middle ground. And thats what we have been trying to do. But you need two to bargain. And one of our substantial experiences here is there isnt somebody on the other side of the table to do that with. Reporter the unions add they are willing to negotiate but bart is not. And the unions say they dont want to negotiate in the media like they say bart has. The unions argue what bart claims are raises are actually paycuts in disguise because of pension payments. And while bart and one union think a 60day coolingoff period is needed, another disagrees. So this is an exception and it should not be rewarded with another 60 days of stalling and delay. Reporter if even the unions cant agree, now theres a lot of work to be done. Its no secret that at this point in bargaining, i would certainly expect there to be fewer proposals on all sides on the table. And so im a little surprised to hear you think this can be achieved by sunday night. Reporter sunday night would be the deadline if the governor does not order a coolingoff period. But the last five times the governor has convened this panel, the governor has chosen that 60day coolingoff period. Live in oakland, ryan takeo, kpix 5.

Low pressure system will cause a chance of thunderstorms in ukiah and clearlake but its moving away from us and thats key to our weather because as it begins to move away from us, the onshore flow will begin to weaken but im talking baby steps. We may gain a degree or twoa day for the next several days but at least we are going up instead of down. So as low pressure pulls away, temperatures will increase as will sunshine. Even when low pressure gets off the washington coastline and far away from us, it will still give us a light onshore flow so well probably stay a few degrees shy of average but well begin trending up tomorrow.
