clinic is taking place at the oakland coliseum, it's not limited to people live here in oakland. some came from all over the bay area, as far as the peninsula and the south bay, to take advantage of the services. several people we talk to say they recently lost their jobs and that's why they said it was crucial for them to be here. >> the economy is in shambles, and even -- realistically, even when i start working again, i'm going to have problems because of the preexisting medical condition thing. >> remote area medical, the national non-profit organizing this clinic, have done 600 other clinics like this in different cities and communities across the country. and they will be here at oakland coliseum not just today, but for the next three days, from april 9th to april 12th. the

america's national parks and federal monuments are open today. federal paychecks and tax refunds are still rolling. >> it's been a grueling process. we didn't do it at this late hour for drama. we did it because it's been very hard to right at this point. >> the deal includes a short- term budget extension with the agreement that a longer term budget will be passed midweek. here's the speaker on the phone yesterday with president obama. the deal calls for nearly $38 billion in cuts to the federal budget. that would be the biggest reduction for federal agencies in history. >> this has been a lot of discussion, and a long fight, but we fought to keep at government spending down because it really will in fact help create better environment for job creators in our country. >> but several members of the bay area delegation are not happy about the deal. they voted no. i'll have more on that for you during my next update in about an hour. live in washington, d.c., allison burns, ktvu channel 2 news. news of that deal between democrats and republicans comes as a big relief to people across the bay area. it would have closed the woods in marin county. that would have put parks and tour guides out of work. tom has a tour scheduled for today and was worried his customers would have been out of luck. >> i can always earn money another day but it's bad when people do travel from far distances to come see our beautiful area and are turned away. >> a government shutdown would have closed alcatraz too because it's also operated by the national park service. yesterday some tourists told us they decided to head to the landmark a day early, in case it wasn't open this weekend. oakland police are still looking this morning for the two people who shot and killed a

saved. before last night's game the players heard the good news at a fund-raising effort that secured $9 million. cal's heads coach says the possible elimination of baseball has been distracting and motivating. >> i think what has focused our team is like, hey, let's make the most of being together this year. let's not worry about next year. and a lot of kids put off making decisions about going other places until they had to. >> baseball is one of five sports almost axed, men's gymnastic is the only one yet to be fully restored. good morning to you. a live look at the san francisco bay. wow, we've got some bright sunshine out there in some cases. some of us waking up partly cloudy, all of us waking up cooler than where we were in some cases. yesterday look at santa rosa, checking in about

now out of our ware. we will be mostly clear for today. we're going to be dry and our temperatures up a few degrees in the afternoon but we are also expecting the winds to kick up. so you may need that windbreaker for the second half of the day. look at the winds generally light this morning. coming in from the northwest and that's how they will remain. i stopped at 3:00 in the afternoon because we noticed the winds picking up around san francisco. looks like that breeze could be with us most of the day, dying down through the evening hours. but again that to consider because it will be one of those days where it feels pretty good until the wind blows! 67 in santa rosa this afternoon. low 60s for oakland. 62 in hayward. most of us only occupy into the upper 50s yesterday so there will be a notable difference in many cases. 63 san jose. cool by the bay. your extended forecast here, we'll be mostly sunny, mild. our temperatures right about average for this time of year. we'll hold on to the mild weather through tomorrow, but the clouds will increase just a little bit for the afternoon. come monday, a weak system rolling through the area will bring just a slight chance for few sprinkles to the north bay and drive our temperatures back up a bit. low 60s on your back to work monday. and then into tuesday and wednesday, we'll see a rebound once again with dry weather expected most of the week. 65 degrees on tuesday. overnight lows going to remain chilly until monday. tuesday they begin to pick up just a little bit. headed out to see the giants this evening, we've got your forecast for you coming up in just a little bit. fresh off a signature torturous opening day win, tonight the giants continue to make history at at&t park. for the first time since moving to san francisco the team will hold a world series ring ceremony. that starts an hour about before the first pitch with the cardinals. today's ring ceremony comes a day after the team raised its world series flag for the first time but could hear it, set to the sounds every queen's "we are the champions." everyone was excited, including one fan following the team since new york. >> i've been since 8 years old to 64 years old! >> the giants came out on top against the cardinals yesterday. it was 5-4. in the midst of the excitement fans and flairs paused for a moment for the giants fan who was

the governor and lawmakers hit the road. and oakland's chief of police gets hands-on at an -- what he did after witnessing a multi- vehicle crash. and this is a live look outside at the 880 oakland. traffic is moving slowly. there is a event at the coliseum this morning so keep that in mind if you're headed out the door. good morning to you! it's chilly start to the day. mostly clear skies over san francisco. 45 degrees. light westerly breeze. the road show is apparently on as a budget stalemate continues in sacramento. the governor and lawmakers from both parties are taking their taste to the voters in hearings around california. senate pro tem president steinberg joins us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, how are you? >> i'm good. you've been quoted as saying you want voters to know what an all-cut budget would look like. what is your message? >> the message is that the legislature led by the majority has already cut $14 billion of public investment, and cutting another 12 to $14 billion would not be good for california. we made deep cuts to mental health services, services for the developmentally disabled, higher education, public safety across the board, and the next round of cuts will directly go to public education, community colleges, and even deeper when it comes to public safety. >> you know, i think a lot of people hoped that when governor brown got into office he would be the guy who could find some unity across the aisle and now that hasn't happened, some are saying really, where do we go from here? do you sense the frustration among voters and do you think it will make a difference with people? >> would you say don't give up on governor brown, and on his pathway yet. temporary setback is not a defeat. he has difficult problems. look what happened with the federal government over the last number of days. they got to the very -- you take that and then they resolved it. we're actually well ahead of the budget deadline, already -- about $14 million. but it's tough. we have a minority party in the state that is averse to taxes or even giving people the vote to decide whether they'll spend taxes, and they get attacked by the very right wing of their party. so governor brown and the legislature, we have a tiger by the tail, but there's too much at stake to give up. >> do you think voters will actually have that chance to vote on this -- these extensions? >> i don't know. i mean, we'd like to get them done, even without a expensive election, frankly. but one way or another, i do not think that the people of california that stand behind cuts that result in cost sizes or 40 or 50 will stand by if fees continue to go up with colleges. >> i know you say we have time because we have until june but we've been down this road before that that time runs out quickly. how about would you characterize talks right now? we keep calling it a stalemate, that's it's a neutral, nothing is happening. how would you characterize your ability to kind of open up these talks and really have some productive discussions? >> here's what i predict. we put a temporary wall, we are now -- we continue to talk, but i think we want to take our case to the people, not in a partisan way but just to show, and to say look, here are the choices. tell your representatives what choice you want them to make, and then i predict that talks will heat up again very, very soon, and i'm hopeful they're getting -- to set this job done so there's a fair solution. >> i appreciate your time this morning senate president pro tem darrell steinberg. we'll keep following the event. >> thank you. bye-bye. california assembly members will not be allowed to carry con sealed weapons inside the capitol. four members were given permission to carry concealed weapons following the january shootth of a arizona congresswoman. yesterday the speaker asked that their permits be rescinded and argued the job of protecting people in the capitol should be left to the trained professionals. this morning san francisco mayor ed lee's political future remains unclear. when when agreed to finish the term for governor newsom, he did so on the terms he can return to his job when the term was over but we need a vote. the ethics commission will vote on monday, and the current law states a mayor cannot be appointed to another city post until one year after their term is up. oakland police chief is being credited for helping a seizure victim while in san francisco. there he is, chief and his chief of staff saw a man in an suffer crash into three cars, before coming to a rest on the sidewalk on south avenue. he ran over, broke out the window and then stayed with the man until the paramedics arrived. a warning for seniors as a popular phone scam surfaces. and in just seconds, you're watching it happen -- look at that! that bay area building reduced to rubble. what officials hope to build there next. >> we're looking forward to a pleasant dry day this morning it's a cold start. we'll look at your current temperatures and check the warmer upper 60s for the afternoon, coming up! 800 pounds of dynamite took down a piece of military history. yesterday demolition experts hit the switch on oakland's oak knoll naval hospital which opened in 1968. for decades veterans who lost limbs there were treated. >> i'm really brought it into play. this was the navy's prosthetic research lab. >> the hospital was closed in 1996, when the navy pulled its funding. now the only military medical center in the bay area is one at travis air force base. they have cleared the way for 960 homes there and retail to be built on the land. all the concrete and steel from the hospital will be recycled and used in the new development. you can see raw video of the demolition on our website, ktvu.com under the right now section. the napa dmv office closed because of the mold problem is scheduled to reopen on monday of that office was closed lasts wednesday because workers discovered mold in the break room. since then crews have been work to clear the building. motorists had to go to other offices. also a scam targeting grandparents resurfaced. district attorney says the scam artist will call seniors, posing as their grandchildren and ask for money to pay a fine or get them out of police custody. the callers tell the seniors to wait for a second call from an attorney or bondsman. the second caller tells them to wire money to a specific place, usually a western union office. the d.a. says once money is wired, it cannot be traced. earlier this week we told but a similar scam targeting residents in the community of atherton. frank received a phone call from someone posing as his grandson, who said he needed money wired to a lawyer right away. so he wired $3,000 only to realize later it was all a scam. if you're headed out the door, rosemary has a beautiful day planned for you! >> yes, we do. good morning. but this morning getting outside early you're going to need a jacket, maybe a thick one of some of us waking up in the 30s. a frost advisory for some areas, including the intermonterey area and salinas. we've got to 36 in santa rosa. mid-40s in san francisco and 40 degrees in san jose. so our inland areas definitely seeing some of that chillier weather. if you're headed out to see the giants this evening, saturday, 7 lone 05 7:05 is the right time. we'll be partly cloudy and breezy some bring along, again, that jacket it. will be fairly mild, but the wind could really, really impact you, especially right there by the coast, where winds are expected to pick up to about 20 miles per hour at times throughout the afternoon. your extended forecast here, cold this morning, not as bad tomorrow, afternoon highs seasonal for april. monday into tuesday, we do start to see a bit of a change. just a slight chance for few sprinkles over the north bay. come monday morning we'll increase the cloud cover sunday night into
