Families of the victims as well as spains royals and top officials were in attendance. Four days later, the suspected ringleader of the attacks is still on the loose. 14 people were killed when a vehicle tore through barcelona including a bay area man. He was celebrating his first wedding anniversary with his wife. Now the family is trying to cope with their loss. We had a fishing trip planned on the 30s. And a wedding to go to on the 2nd of september. It is just hard to understand that none of it is ever going to happen. There is a makeshift memorial in barcelona for all the victims of the attack. We have more on the ongoing investigation. Spanish Authorities Say they are making progress investigating the terrorist cells of at least 12 people behind the attack. Today, the interior minister of spain said the cell had been dismantled. But police are continuing to go through the town where he destroyed home may have been a bomb factory. This is 60 miles north of barcelona. This is where a number of the suspects lived. Police searched the apartment of who they think with a radicalizing force. Regional police say they are still trying to find a 22year old who may have been the driver of the vehicle in barcelona. Security footage from a museum briefly shows the van careening by and even slowing down, giving a sense of the speed at which it was traveling. Were you surprised that an attack like this could happen in spain . And no. Why not . The International Affairs professor at the university of barcelona was taken aback by something else. A 17yearold is seen in a leaked Police Document which reveals the other suspected baby faces of terror in spain.

Cbs news, barcelona. Conservative writer was in the bay area talking about his plan. Milo yiannopoulos says he is holding a freespeech week on campus from september 24th until the 27th. About six months ago, he came to speak at the invitation of college republicans. But riots broke out on campus fronting administrators to call it off on short notice. He says the Upcoming Event will cover a wide ideological specter. Im going to bring all the people we went liberals. We went to bates. We went ideas. We want to have a demonstration an open marketplace of ideas. He says he fully expects protests but he is urging nonviolence on all sides. I want the violence to be verbal and on stage. I want the audience to be comprised of people who dont agree and not knowing what to expect or what they will see. Hopefully they will have their minds changed. Milo yiannopoulos says School Officials have been cooperative so far and he hopes that continues. His visit will be a test for the uc new chancellor for policies of free speech on campus. They say protecting free speech will be a top priority in the coming school year. They plan to implement community, education and outreach programs on the issues of free speech. What i rather spend those dollars in different ways . Absolutely. I would rather have more Computer Science classes for undergraduates. But it is critical for us to protect free speech. And we will extend what we need to in order to do that. A conservative commentator is also said to speak on campus next month, september 14th. The Berklee College of republicans agreed to pay 15,000 for security for the event. Did he resign or was he forced out. Whatever the case, the fate of the employee of a hot cup hot dog stand is raising questions about First Amendment protections. Cole white was identified as one of the White Nationalist during the protest in charlottesville last week. Within hours of the rally, top dog posted a sign saying that he no longer worked there. According to the hastings law professor, white was well within his rights. Political activity is protect it. If it is in your own time or you have not walked off the job or Something Like that, it is specifically protected under the California Labor code. Top dog denied that he had been fired and said that he voluntarily resigned. How clear is the law the protection between work and private life . It is a very old statute he is referring to. It says that an employer cannot have policies that prohibit certain political activities. It is not clear whether one firing constitutes a policy. One court said that no it is debatable. The other said you cannot pressure an employee or threatened to fire them over political activity. It is not clear if that happened. It is something the court will have to decide. It is not a black and white issue. Meanwhile, we have all heard the president s thoughts on charlottesville. Melissa and i asked former San Francisco mayor willie brown about the president s tactics. We noticed he pivoted from his controversial statements on violence to the question of removing statues from the confederacy. What was behind that thinking . Whenever you are in trouble, as a politician, you need to switch the dialogue. You cannot dwell in the dialogue that cost you numbers. He was in trouble, real trouble, and pr wise, he is a master at moving the ball. And he moved the ball to robert e. Lee and the guys that were there and statues. Polls are showing that even democrats are split on whether or not to remove all confederatsate ue. By both appealing to a majority of republicans this issue of the statues is far more divisive and debatable than the issue of neonazi is him his interest is not anything substantive as it relates to the statues. He needed to get everybody off of charlottesville. He needed to get everybody off of the woman that died in the process. He needed to get everyone off of that and he did. No sooner did he do that, then there were calls to remove jackson, washington nancy pelosi said we should pull all confederate statues out of the capital. The democrats went right with him. Did they fall into a trap . They walked right into it. It is amazing how simple it has become to divert politicians from a core issue one that has something to do with the moral nature of this country, and to something as insignificant and un harmful, as although statues there have been all these years. It is interesting to not only with the statues and the debate about free speech i understand the question is moving into the tech world as well about which websites will be monitored. That is right. Right here at silicon valley. Tech companies have begun banning certain nazi or whites from assist groups. Apple pay and paypal have stopped processing payments to certain groups and individuals. And the dating site, okcupid, even removed the dating file of a white the premises. They said in a statement we must recognize that on the internet, any tactic used to thousand nazis, will be soon used against others, whose opinion we believe with. Doctor brian lemmon specializes in hate groups. How will they protect their share groups or expression . At the same time, not tolerating calls for violence. It is a tough place for them to be. They say when hate groups are kicked off of mainstream networks, we can expect them to form their own platforms and community. Tomorrow is a big day for the Solar Eclipse. The total eclipse. We will talk about what we can expect to see here in the bay area. Making the ultimate road trip to catch the ultimate spectacle. We follow a family heading to oregon for the eclipse. Starting off with clouds along the shoreline. We have sunshine this afternoon. And then the partial Solar Eclipse tomorrow. Details when we cover the forecast. Tersection of perfect orbit and Perfect Timing hasntn seen for 40 years. The total Solar Eclipse to is tomorrow. And this has not been seen for 40 years. This rare event happens when the moon passes between the sun and the earth causing the suns light to be blocked from our planet. The shadow will streak across 14 states in the u. S. From oregon, through south carolina, in the 70 mile wide line. A group of students are heading to oregon to release eight weather balloons. Each one has a special device inside that measures air pressure, air pressure, moisture and wind. The students want to be the first to measure atmospheric conditions during the eclipse. We are hoping that our data will go to a larger dataset and be relevant. And ultimately leadto a greater mosphere. The group says the weather balloons can travel as high as 60,000 feet into the stratosphere. Joining us to talk more about the Solar Eclipse is the San Francisco exploratory museum. Mark, what do you think it is about the Solar Eclipse that grabs it so much attention of the public . I think the total Solar Eclipse is one of the most phenomenal experiences you can have in nature. We are all about giving people direct access to funds scientific phenomenon. We have been working with nasa to produce educational eclipse programs. One of the things that happens when the sun is blocked is, during the day, you can see the stars as well . That is right. Apparently during the total Solar Eclipse we are not in the path of the total Solar Eclipse here we will have a 76 partial eclipse. When you are in the pathway of totality, the sun appears to be replaced by a hole. And you can see the corona, which is the layer around the sun the gaseous layer around the sun that you cannot normally see. Most of us will not be able to get up to oregon for that 70 mile span which crosses the north. But i understand you hooked up with nasa. And you have an app now that everybody can participate in groupwise, while they are at work or wherever they are. To tell us about that. We are producing five live streams of the eclipse here goes include feeds from our teams on the ground. They are in casper, wyoming. If you download the total Solar Eclipse app on apple or android if you download that come you can see those five live streams. That will last about how long . How long will the whole thing last . Good question. Nasa will be shooting across the u. S. There will be people filming all the way from the west coast to the east coast. That will take pretty much all day. Anyone spot will experience from First Contact to totality about three hours. So it is the lead up, the totality and the exit. And everybody is watching that. What are you going to have down at the exploratory him outside, or the casual person maybe on a lunch break or coming into the city that they . Yes. It is a wonderful place to go. We will have telescopes set up with special filters so people will be able to look at the eclipse without damaging their eyes. We will have screens set up showing all five live streams we have. The other thing exciting is that there will be a Live Performance itself. We will have a soundtrack . That is right. This will be the first eclipse possibly with a live soundtrack from a worldfamous group of musicians. Tshirts as well . We do have tshirts. We have everything. We are going to be live. We will have a nap. Will have commentary and a soundtrack. Hopefully people will be safe and wear the proper goggles wherever they go trying to view this. Absolutely. There are a number of ways that you can view the eclipse without having goggles. But you cannot look directly at the sun. There are a number of glasses that are counterfeit. If you are at all questioning if they are real, our suggestion is to use another technique. And the app is great for that. Not only will be able to see the live streams but there is a lot of information about safe viewing techniques, science and other interesting things about the eclipse. That is our day and age today. One of the oldest rituals can be seen on an app on your phone, wherever you might be. Thank you for joining us this morning. Now, and between here and there, we will look at the weather. Brian, what is the forecast today . Good sunday morning. Starting off with the usual low clouds along the shoreline in the forecast. Then we increase on later in the day. Inland, mid80s.

We will see a road trip there, to the path of totality. For years, centurylink has been promising fast internet to small businesses. But for many businesses, its out of reach.
