Traffic is looking good on interstate 880 and oakland, you can see traffic is moving along very well. This is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza westbound, can you see its also light. 4 02 lets go back to the desk. Happening today the young woman accused of abandoned her 5yearold daughter is scheduled to appear in court. Witnesses reported seeing 22 yearold samantha patent pushing a child out of her parked car on monday. Investigators say patent drove off with her 1yearold son in her car.

Reporters will get a chance to speak with the wife of derek almeda, one of the men charged in the connection with the ghost ship fire. Including tony serra, Micah Allison expected to speak almeda was expected to be a rained in oakland. Cameras were not allowed in court as derek almeda appeared before a judge. He didnt say anything and did not appear to acknowledge relatives of some of the ghost ship victims sitting in the gallery. He did not enter a plea to 36 felony counts of involuntary manslaughter, one count for each of the victims who died in december in the building he leased. Profound tragedies to strike the area in living memory, we do not feel that the public good will observed by prosecuting our client. Outside court one of the three attorneys said the city of oakland and rental market shoulders some blame for the tragedy, and the prosecution is misguided. This creates a distraction so the local government doesnt have to address the fundamental address,. Attorneys asked the judge to delay the hearing next week when almeda will be of joined by max harris, facing the same 36 felony counts. The da said they allowed the warehouse to be filled with flammable things from floor to ceiling. The only exit was an unstable staircase. Defense attorneys and Micah Allison plan to address the media friday at a News Conference in San Francisco. They say theyll discuss the circumstances that lend themselves to our clients innocence.

Com and on our social media accounts. A new mug shot is out of the other defendant, max harris has been book in dublin.

There is more fallout from yesterdays congressional testimony from fired fbi director james comey. He says the white house lied about him but now the administration is firing back. Doug luzader has more from capitol hill. We may hear from the president himself on this later today. His attorney is lashing out at former fbi director james comey who said in no Uncertain Terms that the administration lied. The hear something a wrap but you can still feel the reverb rations in washington with the country left to decide who is telling the truth, the president or the fbi director he fired. Those were lies plain and simple. James comey saying he thinks he was fired because of the on going investigation into last years role in russia election. The president seen jumping on a stunning comey admission, comey was the source of leaks about private conversations with the president. I needed to get that out into the Public Square and so i asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. Mr. Comey has now admitted that he is one of these leakers. The trumps personal attorney responding and now we are told by a source close to that legal team that they will file a complaint against comey with the justice departments a Inspector General because of the leak. The larger problem was comeys assertion he felt the president went beyond suggesting an investigation into now former National Security visor Michael Flynn be dropped. I took it as a selection. Still some legal analysts arent confident of democratic claims. We have to distinguish between what is a crime or what is impeachable and what is bad form. The Obama Administration didnt come out unscathed either during the investigation into Hillary Clinton and email use. He was told by woman about Lorretta Lynch to not call the clinton investigation an investigation, instead call it a matter. The white house meantime points out that comey did acknowledge he told the president a number of times that the president was not a target of an fbi investigation. And just about an hour President Trump posted his first tweet in reaction to combs testimony. Despite so many false statements, lies, total and complete vindication and wow, comey is a leaker.

The impact of a sierra snow pack is still being felt in june. The action is shifting from the slopes to the rivers. Ktvu meteorologist mark tomiao he says the thrill may match the danger. North earn california rivers are energized and flowing at levels not seen in years. Was it stronger than you thought . It was pretty fast, it was really fun, cold water, fun rapids. As the winter chill turns to spring warmth the record snow pack is melting an draining. I drove up highway 50 yesterday and still had a moment of taking my breath away looking at all that snow up there. Incredible. Jeremiah copper is general manager of general connection, American River near placerville. His team has been preparing for stronger flows as the mountain snow melts away. We made it required guys coming back from tahoe and all over the country did a handful of training trips before they went out and started working. Required that people see the river at a bunch of Different Levels an get comfortable with it. We are a lot more aware everything that is going on. Because we know its possible for a residue situation to arise. There may be thousands of daily visitors, the river. We havent had this every year, if you are not familiar with these flows you need to be conservative. There is a team of four. Noah is on that trip, survey the dangers, help with the rescue and educate the public. The fingers of the stronger flows are apparent. The areas that may appear to be safe it may lead to trouble. You might think its flat out there, but there is a big difference now the current is moving 8 miles an hour or paster, if you throw that stick out for your dog they could get swept down the river fast. Another hazard can be seen a few yards away. Trees that normally tower overhead are in the water with you. When the water is going through the trees, its a strainer situation, think about spaghetti getting caught up in a colander. Safety first. To see the river firsthand we are hitting the rapids, this trip will be shortened by one hour. You may have heard the term cfs to describe a flow rate of a river. One basketball is about 1 cubic foot. As we scan the river imagine 4000 water basketballs cruising by every second, that is how strong this river is right now and strengthen over the next few weeks.

The answer is yes, very chilly even with the wet suit and light jacket my heart rate jumped, it was tough to talk. After hearing commands like all ahead. Stop and right back, our boat is steered through the rapids by trouble maker. The rapids jolt the boat. More impressive these flows could be twice as strong as we head into the warm summer day. Our journey ends here, the serene waters of folsom lake. This marks the end of our trip. Its been 35 years since i have been down the river. And it was great. I loved it. And it was scary but not scary. A new day will bring another round of boaters. It could be exciting adventures, a surprise could be around the next bend. A boost in awareness, respect and knowledge could lead to a safe day on these thrilling waters.
