have burned. it is 35% contained. 585 homes have been destroyed. but the real cost of the valley fire is lives have been lost. alix savidge joining us live. we are hearing more victims have been found. >> reporter: yeah, dave, good morning to you. there have been two confirmed deaths related to the valley fire, and there still is an ongoing search effort underway to find a number of people who remain missing this morning. and one of the people missing is a man who lives and works here at had this scrap metal recycling business where we are this morning. this is just off of highway 29 close to hidden valley lakes. so it's sort of just north of middleton proper. you can see the damage that was done here at this center. the flames swept through here over the weekend and, according to this man's brother, who we spoke with, his name is mark burns, we spoke with him last night and he told us he got a call from the sheriff's office last night and was told that a body was found at the recycling center that he owns ear. burns told us that his brother bruce lived in a trailer on this property and there is a distinct possibility he may not have made it out. >> he didn't have to die. i don't think -- if i had grazed the property off, the fire probably wouldn't have burned through there. >> reporter: now, again, two other victims confirmed to have been killed here when the valley fire came through this area. one of them was discovered early on, a 72-year-old woman. disabled. she was unable to escape her home in anderson springs. and then yesterday lake county sheriff's deputies confirmed a second body was found. that was in the community of anderson springs as well. now, authorities have not identified that particular person who was found dead yesterday. but that body was found near the home of 69-year-old lenedered nafton. he is a retired newspaper reporter last heard from on saturday. he was at his home as this fast-moving fire closed and he was talking with family members at that time. but it's possible that he may not the have made it out of the fire. but again two confirmed deaths. others still missing. as we heard there from mr. burns, you can hear that a number of people are desperately searching, trying to find loved ones still. of course, firefighters still working to control this fire at the same time. i'll point out one more issue, and that is looting. it is the very real issue. i was just speaking with some police officers. they were out and about all night here driving all over these different community and trying to deter this kind of activity. they arrested another person breaking in or trying to break into a home just last night. >> wow. all right. alex, while i have you here, what is the weather condition out there in middleton? >> reporter: you know, we were just talking about it. it's been kind of a chilly and very foggy morning, as a matter of fact. here, we'll give you a live picture right here. look up there. this fog is just starting to burn off here. it's been a very thick, low-hanging fog in middleton and a very good chill in the air this morning. i would venture to say very good firefighting conditions certainly for the crews. as far as the rain that came through this area yesterday, they got a pretty good soaking. the ground is wet. so that is going to help as firefighters try to get more containment lined around this far. >> alex savidge in middleton, thank you. here is something else. we are three months away from christmas time but this morning san francisco firefighters will play santa claus for

possible hostages. police responded to a call of two men with guns going into a home on belmont avenue about 6:00 last night. the homeowners say they ran outside when those men came in. but two other people were still inside. police and sheriff's deputies surrounded the home. they blocked off the area. neighbors say it's not the first time it happened on that particular street. >> people that are arriving here know that the police department will not show up within the seven to eight minutes response time. they show up an hour and a half later, and that's what's going on. >> patrol responded and vallejo police department was in the area and responded very quickly as well, established a perimeter. it is difficult because you don't know the situation inside the home. sometimes you go in and there is nobody inside or they fled prying to having a perimeter set up. >> the vallejo police say they were never able to make contact with anyone in that home. police would only tell us they cleared

me, why would you bring a clock to school? and i was like -- >> he is like, there is clocks here, clocks around you everywhere. i told him i want it had to impress my teacher. >> it was a clock. he is islamic. i think the teachers took that as harm. >> now, the irving police chief says no charges will be filed against ahmed. even though he did nothing wrong, he was suspended for three days and now plans to transfer to another school. the incident sparked an outcry on the internet and support from all over. a number of silicon valley ceos, including mark zuckerberg, took to social media to talk about the store itry. he posted the future belongs to people like ahmed. ahmed, if you ever want to come by facebook, i had love to meet you. keep building. ebony magazine tweeted genious shouldn't be discouraged or fear based on the color of someone's skin. har take i stand with ahmed. and then the president tweeted, cool crosswalk, ahmed. want to bring to the white house? it is what makes america great. as for the school's principal he is supporting the decision for the police to be called. that response is drawing criticism as well. he says i recommend using this opportunity to talk with your

high-five/handshake between donald trump and ben carson. we spoke to a political analyst this morning when it comes to the more important matters on the campaign trail. >> i think he hurt himself because what he showed is that he doesn't have the depth it to compete with the other candidates on policy specifics. he stayed at the superficial platitude level and he kept trying to stay strong. she was able to get her message across, whether it was about what we should be doing to not work with vladimir putin or whether it was her position on planned parenthood. but she also managed to actually make donald trump speechless. >> the debate also touched on foreign policy, the legalization of marijuana, and immigration. now, most political pundits agree last night was the donald trump-carly fiorina show for the most part. some of the other candidates made some strong points and comments about the two leaders in the race. and then also about some of these policies and important things we need to talk about with our next president of the united states. we will talk about that in the next hour. >> the debate was three hours long. of course, we are watching while we are making dinner and taking care of the kids. for the candidates to be on that stage for three hours, it was sort of a test of their own mental ability if you will. >> that's right. i think donald trump and carly fiorina, both business leaders, they are used to talking for a lengthy period of time and on many subjects. they did come across -- and donald trump kind of toned it down a little bit with some advice from people. yeah, they all handled -- you and i were talking about it. for three hours, i mean it was a pretty good -- >> it was a marathon really. >> we will catch up with you

bridge. it's going to be slower than we like it to be. if you look at the toll plaza bring, you can see how slow it is. it sleepless to have slowed down considerably because of that broken down car on the bridge. they slowed the metering lights down. now we have added ten minutes to to the delay. 30 to 40 minutes at the toll plaza before you get onto the bridge. we are also looking at the commute here on 101 in san francisco. the traffic is going to be a little bit slow if you drive through down to southbound 101 approaching the airport. northbound 101 a little bit slow. we had an accident to report in pacifica. i do want to mention that the south bay continues to be really slow. if you are driving to your job in the valley, give yourself time on every single freeway. 880 is backed up in both directions starting at 238. northbound and southbound to fremont. back to the desk. thank you. now, getting back to our coverage of the valley fire in lake county, we are getting the numbers in on the homes burned, the acres burned. but there is also the home toll. >> two people are confirmed dead and there are thousands of people who had to evacuate with just minutes to go. they have been living in cars and tents up at the napa county fairgrounds in calistoga. allie rasmus is there. how much longer can those men and women stay where they are. >> as we mentioned,is really destructive. about a thousand people staying here at the napa county fairgrounds in calistoga. they have been getting a lot of help from the volunteers. you can see behind me, people are getting a nice hot breakfast. i had a chance to talk to a couple of people, ask them how they are doing. folks have a pretty good positive outlook about things. especially given the circumstances. but there are some plans in the works to find a more permanent option for some of the people who have been displaced. this campground, this napa county fairgrounds shelter isn't going to be herein definitely. but they'd like to think about other places for people to go. i spoke with a representative from the governor's office and they said the state and county are working together to find more stable housing for people staying here at the shelters. they want to move people indoors, out of the elements. especially since the weather is supposed to warm up again this weekend. so they're talking about putting people up in places like hotels, motels, rvs, parks. supervisor brown said they talked to the federal government about possibly bringing in fema housing. fema trailers. brown says they are really looking at all options. >> i think with should find every house in the county that has been foreclosed on by the bank. see if the banks are interested in being a landlord. there are several options we need to look at and those are just some of them. i don't think we are closed to any ideas. >> reporter: now, meantime, some of the people staying here told us this morning they are very ainge issues to return home. >> we are going to rebuild. i mean, i am the cook at the church. i work at the senior center. i do construction. a lot of contractors and everything else, we are talking about, you know what? we are just going to get busy and start rebuilding. >> reporter: supervisor brown says they are looking into the possibility of allowing people back into the homes that survived the fire possibly as early as the next couple of days. that's a very fluid situation still because, as you mentioned, the valley fire is still burning. 35% containment. meantime, as i mentioned, this shelter here in calistoga at the napa county fairgrounds, there are no immediate plans to close it. both the representative from the governor's office and emergency services and supervisor brown says they will keep it open as long as people need the services. they are looking at other options for long term. >> all right. allie rasmus. thank you. there is good news it to pass on about the conditions of schools in marathon. the middleton school district superintendent says children could be back in the classroom before the end of the month. she says clean-up is already underway at some of the schools. the superintendent, katelyn stone, says the schools weren't badly damaged. but they need water, power, and sewer lines restored before students can come back to class. she says an optimistic estimate is to open by the end of next week. about 20% of too muchers and staff are coping with the loss of their own homes in the fire. 8:07. another person has been arrest suspected of breaking into homes in lake county. the sheriff's office says 36-year-old steven frederick worley was found monday afternoon in the cobb mountain area. he was wearing a baseball cap that read "california highway patrol," and he had on a yellow rain jacket. deputies say in his car they found a wallet that had been scorched, an ipod, a safe, and six cell phones. he was booked on charges of theft during a state of emergency and also impursenating a -- impersonating a police officer. fire coverage continues at 8:30. alex savidge in the middleton area where he has been all week giving us the latest from there. time is 8:08. a lunch monitor at a south bay school is facing felony charges for allegedly sexually assaulting a young girl on campus. janine de la vega live in sunnyvale. you are at the school. i imagine parents are frightened and nervous for their own children? >> reporter: yeah. this is really shaking them up. this campus has two schools on its spark charter school and columbia middle school. parents are hoping this is an isolated incident. officers from the department of public safety arrested cupertino residents 18-year-old jonathan chou. he was arrested on tuesday afternoon for allegedly sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl. officers took him into custody on the campus of spark chart are school where the alleged incident happened. the school opened a month ago. chou worked as a lunch aide and teachers assistant during the extended care period. >> we still haven't built up any confidence. it's a new school. it's a little scary. let's see how it goes. we may have to move our kids to some other school. >> it's a brand-new school. everyone is so excited and then this happened. obviously, something which has affected everybody. >> reporter: police are releasing few details about the incident but said they found out about it because the victim reported it to an astill. they do not information that he assaulted her victims. police are still investigating. both spark and columbia have alerted parents about the incident. the principal of spark charter schools says they are cooperating with the investigation. they told us that chou underwent a background check before being hired. >> i hope that parents hearing this story take the step in their own homes to talk to little ones. even at preschool age about what's a good touch, a bad touch and more than that, there are no secrets in our family. that's something i am sure those parents are talking to their kids about as well. >> reporter: yeah, definitely an uncomfortable topic. when i was speaking to one of the grandmothers she said, you know, that's definitely something to have a conversation about. >> thank you so much. well, in other news, in chile the death toll going up. the earthquake triggered tsunami works. hit an area 180 miles north of the capital city of santiago. eight people were killed. two women were crushed by falling rocks and debris. a million people have been evacuated because of tsunami fears. now, tsunami warnings were issued for chile, but they have been canceled. there have been dozens of aftershocks, including a magnitude 7 and seven more that were a magnitude 6 or above. now, parts of california, hawaii, and new zealand are under a tsunami advisory this morning triggered by that quake in chile. so far the waters in our coast stayed relatively calm. no reports of trouble yet. the national weather service had predicted a half foot surge would reach santa cruz at 5:20 this morning. didn't happen as far as we know. while that may not sound big, it could be a problem for boaters. >> i am actually tying my boat down and my neighbors' boats. i am making sure everybody around me is secure so if we have trouble at least we are tied to the docks pretty well. >> california is not expected to have any major tsunami problems. the effects from the tsunami were expected to reach hawaii about an hour ago. so far no problems reported there either. time is 8:12. 15 republican presidential candidates all set the stage last night they took serious jobs at democrats and fellow republicans. at 8:30 we will talk about. so winners and losers of that gop debate. and

calculator in the cell phone. >> that cell phone has everything. time is 8:18. let's go to sal. we have some major problems on the road right now, sal. >> yeah, on the east bay commute we are going to start off with the traffic there in the east bay. looking at it, you can see that it's very, very slow in many areas. at the macarthur maze that bay bridge toll plaza backup is stretching around the maze. that's because we had a broken down car on the bridge. they got it out of the way. it's still very slow. it needs to unwind at the toll plaza before you get some better commutes here. can you see how slow it is. the bart had some minor delays. ten-minute delays. i would still take bart over driving my car if i had a choice between the two here getting in and out of san francisco. the east bay traffic is slow on 880. an earlier accident near downtown oakland. 580 isn't much of an alternate because people heard about the 880 problems and they are on 580 from san leandro to lakeshore curve. this is a day where traffic is heavy all over the east bay. also slow southbound 880 to fremont and word of a crash northbound 238 right at the 880 interchange. 8:19. let's go to steve in the weather center. how are you, my friend? >> i went out to talk to you and you took off. >> here i am, man. >> i will come see you in a second. all right. we have some low clouds, some fog around. some of that is thick fog. maybe a little drizzle. the rain is done for now. hang in there. if you didn't get rain, it's early. it's early. it's only september. that was good rain to the north. very good rain. marin county is kind of where it fizzled out, to be honest with you. there was a little bit of rain up there. there was a lot towards, well, northern napa county. also up into lake county, mendocino and sonoma. this is gretta. she has a b&b up there. i am told that i have electricity. yeah! [ applause ] >> can't wait to get home. >> well, we second that. thank you, great that. she has been outstanding checking in. we are glad some good news coming out. quarter of an inch. a third of an inch knoxville. i have reports of .83 to .88 and 1.1820 miles an hour south of middleton. generally a half-inch to .08-inch. that's not bad. i mean, seriously going from one extreme the other. hot on the weekend and then three days later we get win. cazadero 1.70. two reports from there and they were both around that total. calistoga from gary converse up about 1,000 feet. .83. i saw a report of .81 upper town. upper lake .80. forestville .45. a half-inch of rain. santa rosa .41. farther south, fairfax, marin county, a quarter of an inch, and sausalito and san rafael .16. the system is gone. it fell apart. there is still some on the north coast. some of this light rain about done for crescent city, eureka, starting to move inland and it will weaken considerably. 50s-60s on the temps. the coolest kelvyville at 49. one more system has to swing in. that's to the north. that keeps some of this low cloud deck in place as long as we have the westerly breeze. it's going to give way to high pressure coming in. people are already getting cranky. it will just be a short warm-up on the weekend. but it could get hot, especially if we get the north-northeast breeze for two days and then it will come right back down. there is hints that maybe rain could move into southern california next tuesday, wednesday. so things are changing fast here. 60s-70s for most. a couple of upper 70s to near 80 degrees for a few. temperatures again kind of leveling off yesterday. now we start a little climb up. today is going to be on the nice category. near average slightly below. warmer weather friday. that will chew up the fog fast. warm it hot on the weekend. your weather app probably says 99 or something on sunday. that won't be everywhere. we will deal with that on friday. it will cool down starting monday. >> are we able to talk about what we talked about a second ago? >> it looks like a hint of the tsunami arrives from monterey to santa cruz. the monterey harbor master said there was confirmation of that. there was a little rise in santa cruz. the weather service in month way said a little bit arrived. >> it's not the beginning of something? >> no. only one to two feet anyway. >> after the japan earthquake -- >> we talked about this way early this morning. that came all the way across from japan and slammed santa cruz. other areas didn't have a thing. looks like there has been a rise. that's it so far. >> all right. time is 8:23. today some state lawmakers will publicly urge the governor to sign a bill that regulates the medical marijuana industry. it passed the senate and state assembly on friday. it would create a bureau to oversee the licenses of businesses that sell marijuana. the legislation also classified marijuana as an agricultural product. it would force growers to obey the same rules as farmers who it comes to using water and pesticides. it would also allow local governments to tax medical marijuana. this public push for the governor to sign the bill will take place this afternoon in oakland. 8:23. a teen brought a clock he made to school and ended up being led away in handcuffs. the story of the boy in texas. others are responding. in minutes what facebook, google, even president obama have to say to the little boy as well as other reactions. but next therapy for your social media habits. we will tell you what it's designed to do. that is the opening bell. just checked stocks. all trading in a narrow range this morning. analysts say because investors are waiting to hear the federal reserve's announcement on interest rates just a few hours from now whether or not they will raise them. new applications or unemployment benefits fell to 264,000 last week that's the lowest level since mid july. we are seeing a drop of 11,000 when economists had expected the number to hold steady. it's an indication that fewer people are being laid off. the wage gap between men and women closed last year, but only a little bit. women who worked full time last year earned just under 79 cents for every dollar earned by men. it's an increase of about a penny from 2013. that translates to women earning an average of less than $40,000 a year and men earning more than $50,000 a year. an online therapy company is offering to help people dependent on social media. they say they are now providing a three-month program to help people handle their anxiety and depression that's caused by social media. the new york company says overuse of social media sites can cause a distorted view of reality. they say it offers unlimited therapy with a licensed therapist via text message and chat for $25 a month. all right. time is 8:28. coming up up in the next hour on mornings on 2, a possible government shutdown. what president and lawmakers will do today hoping to prevent one. new developments in the death toll on the valley fire. the lake county sheriff just confirmed another fatality. details next. time a 8:30. new developments coming into the newsroom regarding that valley fire. >> official word that two men have died. they have been reported missing since the start of that fire. >> both victims were found yesterday morning. we are also learning that the death toll is -- as we learn the death toll is growing, we have to think about the people forced to evacuate their homes with a minute's notice. a lot happening due to the fire. >> it's a human story. very much so. ktvu's alex savidge joining us live from middleton. you are in the middle of everything and the continuing search for people still listed as missing, alex? >> reporter: yeah, david. good morning to you. the lake county sheriff's office confirmed that a total of three people have been killed as a result of the valley fire. all of those people unable to escape these fast moving flames as they swept through this area over the weekend. and authorities do believe that one of those victims in all likelihood was 69-year-old leonard neft. searchers found remains yesterday near ford road. that's in the community of anderson springs just outside of middleton. now, to be clear, authorities have not positively identified the remains they found there. but the remains were found near his home. the retired newspaper reporter was last heard from on saturday as this fire closed in on his property. and we talked just this morning with a woman here in town who has known him for almost two decades. she used to work for him at a local convenience store ear in middleton and she is just heartbroken. >> we have so much love for one another. it's not something money could replace. it's not something that -- it's something very beautiful. he is the most beautiful man i ever met on the entire earth. so generous beyond words. beyond words. i am so sad. >> reporter: and authorities are also presuming that the other victim that they have here in this case is another man who was killed in this fire in the hidden valley lake area. and we did talk about that man's brother. that man is identified by authorities or tentatively identified by authorities as bruce burns. we spoke with his brother last night about the fact that his body was found on the property that is right off of highway 29. it's a scrap metal recycling facility where burns lived and worked. he was sort of the caretaker of that property, according to his brother, and that is, again, the third victim that authorities are -- say that they have found here. so that brings the total here to three victims. early on a woman, a 72-year-old woman was found inside her home in anderson springs. she was unable to escape. now we have two more men. their bodies have been found. they were had unable to escape the flames here as well. a total of three people dead. you know, it's important to point out here the search is still continuing, you guys, for people who remain missing at that time. searchers are continuing their efforts to try to bring closure it to loved ones. >> all right. alex savidge, thank you for the update. 8:34. let's look at how weather is affecting the firefight. i know they got some decent rain up there, steve. you were saying you are surprised at the containment number? >> maybe it will come up this afternoon. a half-inch of rain is decent. they picked up -- some areas more than that. some a little less. they got measurable rain. some of the rainfall in north bay about marin county north, really, after -- draw a line from san rafael to napa north. south of that it tailed off. low clouds in place and drizzle. thick foggy. pacifica, daly city, san bruno. that will lift we will have sunshine. rain on the north coast. a hit and miss. but at least we will continue the trend up there for one more day. 50s and 60s on the temp. slow to winter storm up. stay state university and their fine meteorologist department. 51. scots valley 59. morgan hill at 57. everyone is pretty close here. one more system clipping right there had on the north coast. high pressure is out there. eventually it will build in starting tomorrow and that will really chew up the fog a. a north-northeast breeze. it will warm up on the weekend but turn cooler monday, tuesday. today 60s-70s to near 80 degrees. a lot going on, sal? are things getting better? well, traffic is very slow. but at least some of the problems are out of the way, steve, to answer your question. well see a lot of slow traffic because once a crash happens during a very busy commute, it takes a while to unwind. let's go take a look at the freeway. 880 northbound taking a lot of attention. look at it. looks even worse than it normally does. an earlier crash near downtown. that's gone. but traffic is backed up way back from hayward all the way up into the downtown oakland area. people are using 580 trying to get around it. that's marginally better. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. we had a stalled vehicle on the bridge and finally beginning to see a little bit more movement. so this is going to take a while to unwind. if you are sitting around home thinking how long is it going to take? i think at least a couple of hours. you might want to go into the city in the middle of the day if you have that option. this is a look at 880 southbound as you drive past 92. slowed down to fremont and on the peninsula and highway 101, santa clara valley also very slow. 8:36. back to the desk. now it to a developing story. two deaths reported from the butte fire southeast of sacramento. the fire started more than a week ago in cal bareis county. more than 70,000 acres burned there. the bodies of two fire victims were found by search dogs in the mountain ranch area. one victim as 65-year-old mark mccloud. he refused to leave. the body of a victim a couple miles away. the butte fire has destroyed 252 homes. it is now 49% contained. we are also learning that cal fire investigators are looking into what caused the fire. they say a tree may have touched a power line near the starting point of the wildfire. pg&e is now working with cal fire in that investigation. 8:37. the victims of a cud napping called a hoax by the vallejo police department will file a legal claim today against the city of vallejo. erin quinn told police a masked man broke into the home he shared with his girlfriend. he says the man tied them up, drugged them, then drove away with his girlfriend. police called the incident a hoax after huskins turned up two days later unharmed on huntington beach. in july, this man, 38-year-old matthew muller, was identified as the suspect after he was arrested for a home invasion this dublin. evidence was found there tying him to the kidnapping. matthew muller's attorney has withdrawn a key motion involving the home invasion robbery in dublin. his lawyer is no longer asking for evidence from muller's cell phone to be thrown out. the attorney initially claimed police accessed energies from the phone without a warrant. prosecutors say the phone evidence is crucial to both cases. henry lee is going to join us on the nine this morning to talk about this case and all of the twists and turns it's taking. time is 8:38. police in fremont arrested two suspects in connection with two gold chain robberies last week. 20-year-old michael hill burn and 25-year-old my low anderson were arrested tuesday. they say they robbed two different women of cold chains within a couple of hours of each other. a witness in one of the robberies took a picture of the getaway car. a police detective spotted the car and made the arrest. we don't know if they are suspected in several other cold chain robberies that happened in fremont last month. police in concord searching for a man they say has robbed people at gunpoint at a bank atm in recent weeks. now, take a look at this surveillance photo of the suspect at a wells fargo atm on willow pass road. the robberies happened thursday, august 27th, at 6:30 in the morning. police say he struck again the following thursday at 9 p.m. now, one photo appears to show a second suspect who police say may have been a lookout. investigators say the suspect or suspects may have been driving a blue minivan. could have been a toyota sienna. well, it was a marathon political debate for the republican candidates for president last night and they covered a lot of ground. >> yeah. took them three hours. the candidates covered important policy issues, their own experience. pam cook is back in the studio to show us they had some heated exchanges, didn't they? >> reporter: yes, plenty of professional and personal barbs thrown out. most political analysts believe this was for the most part the donald trump-carly fiorina part. other candidates made their case for why they should be the next president. >> you are both successful people. congratulations. you know who is not successful? the middle-class in this country who is plowed over by barack obama and hillary clinton. >> reporter: new jersey governor chris christie played himself as the candidate who cares about and relates to the average american rather than the elite business leaders. marco rubio dodged potential heated exchanges with donald trump and instead focused on his experience. >> because you better be able to lead our country on the first day. not six months from now. not a year from now. on the first day in office our president could confront a national security crisis. >> reporter: we spoke to a political analyst who says donald trump's campaign was hurt by lack of substance on the important issues. on the flip side, carly fiorina, who had to be fight to be included in the debate, is the breakout star of the night. now, the democrats get their turn to show why they should be in the white house october 13th in las vegas for their first debate. so far six democrats have announced their candidacy. hillary clinton, bernie sanders, martin o'malley, former u.s. senator jim webb. we are waiting to hear from vice president joe biden. it could be this week. of course, tomorrow is friday. we will see if we hear either way. >> with 11 candidates, even with the three hours they had, some people such as chris christie are complaining this morning about i got seven minutes of air time. >> i know. >> the bulk was, as we said, the carly fiorina-donald trump show. but, you know, so many people, even with so much time, some are feeling slighted. >> and you will talk about to more during the nine i was talking about it. it has to be weeded down. it has it to weed down to a smaller group. hopefully, that's what will happen. there are six more republican debates alone between the two. more debates on the side. so hopefully fewer candidates, more air time. >> thank you, pam. time is 8:42. president obama is meeting with democratic leaders today on how to avoid a potential government shutdown. a partial shutdown happens october 1st unless lawmakers pass a resolution to keep the federal government up and running in the next few weeks. mitch mcconnell promises there will be no shutdown, but he does acknowledge some in his party want any budget vote to include revoking government funding of planned parenthood, which democrats oppose. planned parenthood received about $450 million a year in federal funding. >> reality for those of us who don't support planned parenthood is we need a president who has a similar view and would sign such a bill. >> we engage in self-inflicted wounds like this potential government shutdown. it's unnecessary. >> republicans want it to block funding of planned parenthood because organization performance abortions. by law, none of the federal funding can be used for abortions. time is 8:43. air quality it's always a big issue here in california. now there is a new you study talking about how pollution may be sending people to an early grave. stay tuned. we will bring you the details. >> brian flores will talk about the show of support for a texas teenager arrested after bringing a homemade clock to school. we are still looking at a lot of slow traffic out there. things are improving, but not enough to make a big difference on some of these east bay freeways. we will give you the rundown straight ahead. the rain is gone. most of the high and mid-level clouds. the low crowds are still in place. the fog is there. what about the temps?
