>> reporter: known as somewhat of a fire brand. he had a disarming way of charming while simultaneously skewering those with whom he does agreed. his death nearly a week ago took many by surprise and sparked a political fire storm. senate republicans are threatening to delay voting on a nominee until after the general election when they hope their party will take back the white house. >> if a vacant say occurs, his job is to nominate a qualified individual and after that it's out of his hands. >> president obama acknowledges his legal intellect will be hard to match. >> justice scalia and i had different political orientations and probably would have disagreed on the outcome of certain cases. but there's no doubt that he was a giant on the supreme court. >> reporter: and once again, the viewing service is now underway here in washington. from our vantage point it appears that the hearse has arrived. it's silent and you can hear the sirens as security is beginning to pick up. president obama will not be attending the funeral services tomorrow. joe biden had a personal relationship with the justice and will represent the white house at the funeral tomorrow. >> matt flynn from outside the white house. a major isis commander is believed to have been killed in libya today. u.s. sources say american war planes hit an islamic state training camp not far from the border with tunisia. they believe a senior commander is among 40 people killed. the air strike comes as the u.s. believes the number of islamist state fighters in libya has grown to 5000. a vallejo family is mourning the death of a 7-month- old after a fire trapped him in their apartment. the fire started just before midnight on thursday. the young couple woke up to flames and smoke. they got out of the house with their 4-year-old son and could not get to the baby in another room. that fire was too fierce for crews to go in. and they ended up having to hold the mother back. >> it was blazing and the fire was just everywhere and all i heard was the mother screaming my baby, my baby. and they was trying to calm her down. and she was trying to get the baby and they wouldn't let her. vallejo fire says 15 people were displaced. lower units will be fixed and ready to live in next week but the upper floors will take longer. the firefighters union will put together a fund for the family. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. time is 6:35. a san jose man accused in a deadly hit-and-run has been arrested. 23-year-old christopher africa was arrested wednesday at his home. he was driving a honda del sol friday when he hit a bicyclist on winchester boulevard. the cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. the abandoned car was later recovered by police just a couple of blocks away from the crash. plans are in place to tear down a second apartment complex that's teetering on the edge of an eroding cliffside in pacifica. yesterday a building was demolished at 330 esplanade avenue. the complex was deemed unsafe back in 2010 when a chunk of the cliffside gave away. many neighbors came out to watch the demolition. one woman who lives one building down says she's not particularly worried about the eroding cliff. >> i'll never be able to afford this kind of view anywhere. so, i'm going to stick it out. the end of this building here is the worst. i've got the best edge so i'm just going to hang out until they kick me out or i fall in i guess.

livermore to tell us how the new lanes will bring relief to commuters. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. i'm going to show you. take a look behind me. you're looking at westbound 580. last hour we saw such a rampup of traffic. these are all people from stockton and tracy. and this gets more and more congested as the morning goes on. you can see the express lane. it's marked and no one is traveling in it. it's not open yet. but in the eastbound direction there's two lanes, people are going in the eastbound direction because the lanes are open. two of them open this morning. and this should be a tremendous help during the commute this afternoon for people who use 580. the three lanes stretch for 14 miles from dublin to livermore. and they operate from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. monday through friday. that one westbound lane is going to make a difference for the morning commute. they are free for those who carpool. you need a fast track flex tag. solo drivers will pay a toll to use the new lanes and the amount depends on the congestion. transportation officials know it will take time to adjust to the changes. in the end, this is supposed to improve the flow of traffic. there are disciples up letting drivers know about the new lanes. in the next hour, we'll get on 580 and kind of see how much the tolls are costing. if you're a solo driver we'll let you know coming up at 8:00.
