clear skies out there. a cold start to the day. even colder than yesterday for some of us ability a freeze warning to talk about. first let's soak in this view. good morning to you. the official sunrise 7:20. 7:25 depending where you live. san jose like 7:22. san francisco 7:25. over the oakland estuary the sky is lightening. a freeze warning includes areas except for the bay, expect for the coast. our inland communities, valley spots and hills north, east, south san jose included in this until 8:00 this morning. that risk for crop damage, if you have sensitive plants, hypothermia, definitely take care of your pets. here is a look at the numbers this morning. in the north bay it is really cold. 26 in santa rosa. chilly in livermore. 34 outside your door. 38 in concord. an improvement there because temperatures were about 30 degrees in the last hour. around the bay low 30s redwood city, 36 oakland, 40 degrees in san francisco. as we shift along the peninsula a lot of 30s here from san mateo through foster city. 31 menlo park. 31 palo alto. 27 in woodside. one more shift down to the south bay 32 in saratoga. freezing for you this morning. and 34 degrees in morgan hill. as we get into the afternoon another dry cool day, but we have changes in store. with the weather coming our way and it will impact part of the weekend. i will have a look at what you can expect coming up in just a little bit. well, from times square in new york city to our own san francisco waterfront. the new year 2016 began as spectacular shows filled the skies. people celebrating new year's eve. from the ktvu rooftop camera we could see the fireworks right over the bay bridge lighting up san francisco's skyline. no major problems were reported by police. that's great news. every available officer was out patrolling the streets. and in new york times square an estimated one million people watched the countdown. did some kissing out there, of course. tradition. they watched that ball drop. the huge crowd was surrounded by extremely tight security. thousands of police officers, uniformed and undercover, were there to keep everybody safe. the streets were filled with confetti. more than a ton of it was dropped to celebrate new year's eve. probably still cleaning up right now. the performers included carrie underwood and demi lovato. on the left of your screen, that is a celebration in old sacramento. 9:00 last night the very same time as the ball was dropping in new york city. now, in the middle of your screen, that's las vegas. thousands of people from all over the country head for vegas for their new year's party every year. and on the right that incredible shot, the fireworks show in boston. back here in the bay area, the clean-up in san francisco after last night's big new year's celebration, it started right away. as soon as the fireworks ended, the clean-up crews went right to work. ktvu fox 2's christien kafton on the waterfront. how does it look out there right now? >> reporter: looking pretty good. we have moved in the last hour. we were by powell street last hour. now we're down here by the water front. you can see behind me, some of the barricades left over. this is where party central essentially was last night. hundreds of thousands of people gathering around this area, and now the big clean-up after last night's big celebration. now, we watched earlier today as the barricades were loaded up onto flatbed trucks making their way around the city. we have seen fleets of street cleaners out patrolling the streets and a lot of trash out on the streets. signs of the hundreds of thousands of people who flooded into san francisco for last night's new year's eve fireworks show. when we showed up in the city at around 5:30 this morning we still found a few die-hards who were out from last night. they say that they are already making big plans for 2016. but they say they had a great time ringing in the new year. >> it was kind of a little crazy, but, you know, we went from club to club. it was just very exciting. >> reporter: one of the big draws, of course, that fireworks show last night. hundreds of thousands of people turned out on the waterfront to watch the 15-minute show despite the cold temperature. san francisco police out in force last night making sure the celebrations did not get out of hand. one more note. as i drove in this morning to work, i noticed a couple of, we'll say, some less than perfect drivers out there. one of our photographers even called 911 twice to report drivers that he suspected of being drunk. so we will look for a little bit more information from chp later today to find out how many duis they had, how many pull-overs last night. the take home for people to party safe and bring in the new year the right way, right, guys? >> we hope everybody is careful and safe out there. thank you. well, for 127 years the rose parade in pasadena has delighted audiences from all over the country. it's about to get underway once again. just about less than an hour. while tradition holds steady, ktvu's brian flores joins us with the unprecedented thing we will see this year. >> reporter: the amount of security as well as the rose bowl game. there will be lots of it. something we have never seen from this. but not just from local police, but federal agencies. they are there to keep people safe and to have a good time. talking about the parade as we speak, crews are putting in those finishing touches to floats and several of the bands. floats are getting ready to line up along the parade route, which, by the way, in case you didn't know, is five and a half miles long. imagine walking for that long in a parade route. this year's theme, by the way, is find your adventure, which coincides with the centennial celebration of our country's national parks. but it takes an estimated 80,000 combined hours of hundreds of volunteers to put together 44 floats for today it. it's quite a task for several people who camped out last night, and some for days, to a spot along pasadena's infamous colorado boulevard. >> we will be showing movies. we got a screen and everything. we are doing everything. we got water. we got barbecue pits. >> i want to hang out with them next year. the rose parade is adding an unprecedented level of security as we mentioned following the santa barbara shooting. these measures include federal agencies, as we mentioned, as well as armed tactical rapid response teams, bomb-sniffing dogs, and even radiation detection devices. of course, several surveillance cameras. now, no credible threat has been issued, but authorities are not taking any chances. on a lighter note, there are a few bay area connections, including stanford's band playing this morning. of course, team playing in the rose bowl later today. also saratoga's band and color guard will be performing at the parade as well. talking about our people from the broadcasting industry, bob eubanks, stephanie edwards. i mean, i grew up watching them on tv. >> yeah. >> this is the last year they will be doing it. >> it is? >> yeah. they have been doing it, i think, 38 for stephanie, 35 for -- >> a lot of years. and always very good. >> very good. >> people might be interested in the job, right? they can contact them? let them know. >> we have to point out, brian, your high school band. >> oh, yeah. oh, yeah. i am so proud of these guys. >> you weren't in the high school band? >> i wasn't. i was in choir. i hope that doesn't get out there. yeah. san diego county. they are going to be performing later this morning in the rose parade. >> you are allowed to be proud. >> yes. >> thank you. time is 7:09. this year's rose bowl game standford plays iowa. the cardinals have been in pasadena all week getting ready for that big game. as ktvu's scott reiss found out, the team works hard and they play hard. >> reporter: the rose bowl isn't just a game. it's a week-long adventure. >> a bunch of fun events they have planned for us. every night it's something fun and exciting. >> reporter: first stop the magic kingdom. >> we spent so much time in the film room and the weight room and on the field, you know, it's sometimes you forget that there is places like disneyland. the happiest place in the world. >> reporter: well, maybe the second happiest for football players it to lowery's prime rib. site of the traditional beef bowl. >> this has been, gosh, enjoyable. >> reporter: but don't be fooled by the fun and frivality. preparing to run for the roses. >> exciting to meet those goals and get back down here for a third time is remarkable. >> reporter: stanford has done the dance twice in the last three seasons, beating wisconsin in 2014 and losing a heartbreaker to michigan state in 2015. this time around yet another physical big 10 opponent in iowa. >> they don't do a whole lot, but they are extremely good at what they do. you ask any team, and you got to focus on you and the things that you can control, and that's doing your job to the best of your ability. >> they will fight. that's kind of how we are, too. like very similar teams. they have pretty much haven't changed. they are going to keep fighting. it's going to be a great game. >> that was scott reiss reporting. stanford earned its trip to the rose bowl with a third conference title in the last four seasons. the team is scheduled to arrive at the stadium couple of hours now, hours before the 2 p.m. kickoff. today bart fares go up almost 3.5%. for example, if you commute between walnut creek and downtown san francisco, you will pay about.5 even cents more each way. and if you go to sfo, it will cost an extra 35 cents. it is part of bart's plans to raise fares every other year to help pay for cars and maintenance. 7:11. train stations in germany, they shut down new year's eve. there was a concern about a possible terror attack. in 20 minutes, why officials say the threat is not over yet. people can fall into potholes. run into cars. they can have all kinds of accidents. >> you hear a lot about dangerous distracted driving, and now it seems distracted walking is something that everyone should be concerned about as well. up next, the new startling statistics. even tempur-pedic mattress sets getat low clearance prices!c, save even more on floor samples, demonstrators, and closeout inventory! the year end clearance sale is on now at sleep train! ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ ok, wehere's dad. mom. the twins. aunt alice...

them drivers who tried to cross the flooded roads. hundreds of homes and businesses, though, also damaged by that flooding. >> we saw a person on a canoe earlier. >> we did. >> taking video. the river is almost like a raging waters. it's very fast. >> scary. >> a lot of traffic. i don't know where everyone is trying to go, but it's backing everything up over here. >> the flooding was caused by at least 10 inches of rain over a three-day period across a wide section of missouri and illinois. our time is 7:14. it may be easy to walk and chew gum at the same time, but it can be a lot harder and even dangerous to walk and use your smartphone. what's called distracted walking can even kill you in some cases. peter doce has some pretty startling statistics. >> reporter: smartphones let people see and hear things from all around the world, and that's good. but more and more users are failing to see what's right in front of them, and that's bad. even deadly. experts say smartphones now contribute to this troubling trend. a pedestrian is being killed every two hours in the united states. and for the first time this year, the national safety council listed distracted walking as a category in its injury report. the governor's highway safety association is even using a new name for people who text and walk borrowed from the website urban dictionary. pe text reann. >> smartphone technology is more universal. everybody uses their cell phone through the day. so i think those accidents will actually go up. people can fall into potholes, run into cars, they can have all kinds of accidents just from looking at their cell phone instead of looking around them. >> reporter: last week a man in california walked off a cliff because his eyes were on a device and not on the deep drop to sharp rocks below. in november, eight pedestrians were killed in one week. officials said people need to be more careful. >> you have to be alert when you walk the busy streets of new york. we all do. motorists and cyclists and pedestrians. >> reporter: several people we saw looking down at their phones say there are no plans to do anything differently in 2016. >> probably going to look at the phone and cross the street. >> the worst that i think will happen is you run into somebody else. you don't have to worry about vehicles. bike riders sometimes are an issue. >> it's a bad habit hard to get rid of, really. >> reporter: it may be hard to stop texting on the go, but these statistics are hard to ignore. maybe those people will take a moment to look up the numbers mentioned in this report on their phones. in washington, peter doocy, fox news. >> what do you think? , i mean, it's a real thing. >> it is a real problem as people walk around. people walking around the not paying attention. hopefully, shedding a little light on that. 7:17 is the time. rosemary is here. how much rain do you think we will get in the next week? >> the first round weak. tuesday is a wet one. wednesday scattered showers. anywhere from .5-inch to 1 inch between found wednesday. north bay locations maybe 2 inches. that's good news there. it's going to be a soggy transition as we head towards next week. more on that in the extended forecast. let's take a look at the beautiful sunrise going on on this first day of 2016. happy new year to you. cold for your friday. you keep thinking it's saturday. it's friday. we have the entire weekend to go. here is a look at some of the numbers. very cold in portions of the north bay. we will start there. 6 in napa, 26 in santa rosa. a freeze warning for north bay, east bay, south bay locations. san jose for the south bay is included in there. around the bay we don't have a freeze warning, but it is a cold one. 31 redwood city, 36 at the oakland airport, 40 in san francisco. last half hour we went to the peninsula. this time around we will go to the inner east bay where we have 39 degrees for pittsburg, 34 anitoch. upper 20s lafayette. offshore systems will eventually impact us. in fact, the transition will begin on saturday. but we're looking at only a slight chance of rain late on saturday. friday mostly clear skies. temperatures in the upper 40s, low 50s for the afternoon. saturday morning notice that cloud cover as we get going tomorrow. tomorrow looks like it could be a partly to mostly cloudy day. by late saturday night maybe even scattered showers on the coast. maybe some inside the north bay. sunday partly to mostly cloudy. a near repeat. and that rain still wanting to stay right offshore. that will be saturday night, sunday night. so cloudy skies. few chances of scattered showers. but sunday into monday is when we will get our best bet with that first round of rain and more to follow. afternoon highs for today upper 40s to low 50s. if you are going to tahoe, a dry forecast, but a very cold one. sinking into the single-digits in the overnight hours. so be prepared for that. here is a look at

five others were wounded. they say some of the local businesses are shutting down as police are still searching for the gunman. this shooting today comes during three months of almost daily attacks between palestinians and israelis. we are getting a better look now at the aftermath of what happened yesterday. this huge fire at a luxury hotel in dubai. there is a lot of damage there. the fire is out, but there are reports the building is still smoldering. the 63 story high-rise erupted into flames yesterday a couple of hours before a midnight fireworks show. one report says it started on a residence on the 20th floor when some curtains caught fire. the dubai government says 16 people were hurt. many of them minor injuries caused by overcrowding and also smoke. a new year's eve fireworks show at the nearby tallest building in the world, it went on as planned despite that fire. there is word that president obama is planning to announce a new executive action on gun control shortly after he returns to washington, d.c. next week. the president talked about the issue in his weekly address released earlier this morning. >> a few months ago i directed my team at the white house to look into any new actions i can take to help reduce gun violence. on monday i will meet with our attorney general to discuss our options because i get too many letters from parents and teachers and kids to sit around and do nothing. >> sources familiar with the president's proposal say his executive action will include requiring an expanded number of smaller gun dealers to be licensed and be required to conduct background checks. this would not close the so-called gun show loophole, but it would narrow it. the executive action is expected to impose tighter rules for reporting guns that get lost or he stolen. just about a year left in office, president obama has a long list of resolutions for 2016. many of which could have an impact on all of us. the president says one of his resolutions is to campaign hard to have a democratic successor to help keep his accomplishments intact in the coming years. besides gun control, the president also wants to work on other controversial issues such as pushing the trans pacific trade deal and closing the prison at guantanamo bay. >> we are going to squeeze every last ounce of progress that we can make when i have the privilege, as long as i have the privilege of holding this office. >> the president currently vacationing in hawaii with his family. he heads back to washington on sunday to begin his last full year in office. >> yeah. time now 7:26. it was like something out of a movie. seven luxury cars stolen in san francisco from a car dealership. up next, this surveillance video police are checking as they search for the thieves and investigate this bold crime. plus, the first day of 2016 means hundreds of new laws taking effect here in california. we will tell you how some pieces of legislation will aim to curb gun violence and prevent mass killings in our state. snoop good morning. peaceful sounds on january 1st. >> look at the rolling hills there. >> that is a pretty picture. i hope you are having a peaceful new year's day morning. >> that's what we want. >> thank you for joining us. hopefully, you're kind of just lounging and still in your jammies. >> in our minds, we are, too. >> yes. >> we are. >> yeah. >> it's nice to have you with us. 7:30. it's friday, january 1st, 2016. i am pam cook. >> good morning. i am dave clark. we are going to check your new year day weather. rosemary is in for steve. i like that sky behind you. >> beautiful. >> it is. a nice way to start the new year. >> yes. >> it's cold out there, but -- >> it is, it is. >> but a good looking start to the new year. good

into the evening hours, we begin to transition. and the rest of your weekend is likely to be partly to mostly cloudy with rain right off the coastline. this morning, though, it's about the cold weather. 26 degrees in santa rosa. 40 for san francisco. 36 in oakland. livermore you're checking in at 34. san jose 35. we have a freeze warning for the north, east, and south bay valleys as well as

have a look at your extended forecast coming up in just a bit. back to you. >> all right. thank you. time now 7:32. as the new year begins, hundreds of new laws take effect in california. they deal with everything from gun control to the wages of cheerleaders. ktvu fox 2's alex savidge joining us live. you're in walnut creek. tell us. so changes we will notice in 2016. >> reporter: good morning. 700 new laws take effect today here in california, and some of those new laws aim to curb gun violence in our state. one piece of legislation in particular, it was prompted by a mass shooting near uc santa barbara that happened back in 2014. that attack left six people dead. and this law will allow family members to ask a judge to take away firearms from a relative who appears to pose a threat. another law dealing with gun control will extend a ban on concealed weapons at schools and community colleges, removing an exemption for those with concealed carry permits. another new law requires almost all school children to be fully vaccinated to attend public or private schools. starting today parents can no longer request a personal belief exemption. it's to prevent an infectious disease outbreak. a year ago 150 people are sickened by measles in our state. also starting in 2016, cheerleaders will have a whole lot more to cheer about. a new law says that cheerleaders for professional sports teams are now entitled to minimum wage, sick leave, overtime pay, and other labor protections. this legislation reclassifies cheerleaders as employees as opposed to contractors, and this is believed to be the first such law in the nation. and speaking of the minimum wage, the minimum wage here in california, by the way, will bump up to $10 an hour starting today as well. dave. >> all right. >> back to you. >> alex savidge, thank you. we will talk to you later. well, as people ushered in the new year across the bay area, law enforcement agencies were busy fanning out, looking for drunk drivers. now, from now through sunday the chp and other law enforcement officers will be looking for impaired, reckless, or distracted driving. they do not want a repeat of what happened last new year's when 28 people died in crashes. just here in california, more than 1,100 people were arrested for dui as well. one officer says he has seen firsthand too many deadly crashes. >> it takes a mental toll on you. absolutely. for not only yourself, but you have to understand and try to put yourself in the family's shoes. >> officials say there is no excuse for drinking and driving. many public transit agencies extended their hours for new year's eve. some were free. aaa offered the free tow through the tipsy tow program. certainly a lot of programs out there. 7:35. san francisco police are busy searching for four people caught on camera stealing seven luxury cars from a san francisco car dealership. now, police say three men and one woman cut the lock to the main gate of the royal auto group on howard street early wednesday morning. then they drove through the lock on a door where the keys to the cars are stored. they took some keys and they drove off in several very expensive cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. a spokesperson for the dealership says nothing like this has ever happened before. >> not in our 60 plus years of business have we ever had a vehicle stolen from our property that was in service. >> now, police described the three men and one woman as being latino. we're not sure if the stolen cars belong to the dealership or to their customers. the grandmother accused of drowning her own grandson in a bathtub in fairfield did not enter a plea in her first court appearance. she is charged with the murder of her four-year-old grandson. authorities have not revealed a motive, but prosecutors say she may be suffering from an undisclosed mental issue. in court yesterday she wore a padded green vest designed to prevent her from harming herself. >> there does appear to be at least a partial mental health aspect to this case. we'll have to investigate that as well. >> police say rains hughes admitted to them she intentionally drowned her grandson. she will be back in court next week. the contra costa county sheriff's department released new images of a robbery and beating in alamo that shows two men at a gas station on danville boulevard early sunday morning. one is wearing a black hoodie and a black and white camouflage pants. the other has a grey jacket with white sleeves. take a look at the video there. they both beat the clerk, stole items from the store. anyone with information is asked to contact police. time is 7:37. in europe, new year's celebrations were somewhat muted because of terrorism concerns. police in germany evacuated two train stations last night because of a concrete tip. the islamic state terror group was planning a suicide attack specifically for midnight. police say a foreign intelligence service told them the group planned attacks with as many as seven suicide bombers. both of the train stations have since re-opened, but munich police tweeted this morning the situation is still serious. meantime, in paris the site of those deadly terror attacks in november, new year's eve events were scaled back. instead of a big fireworks show, there was a laser light show just before midnight. 11,000 police and troops were deployed on the streets of paris. that's 2,000 more than were out there last year. well, in his new year's day address north korea's leader says his country is ready for war. kim jong un delivered a speech. he pledged that any individual or nation that provokes north korea could face, quote, merciless holy war of justice. he did say that he is open to improving relations with south korea and achieving peace in the region, but he talked about the need to increase the political and military force of his country. time is 7:38. back at home starting today you will have to be 21 years old to buy a pack of cigarettes in some parts of the south bay. it's a new law. it changes now the legal age to buy tobacco products and e-cigarettes from 18 years old to 21 in unincorporated santa clara county. stores in that area are now required to put up signs warning customers about the change. and if they violate this new law, the stores could be fined hundreds of dollars and face being suspended from selling tobacco products. people in a san francisco neighborhood will have a lot of cleaning up to do this new year's day after a water main break. that happened in a home near 41st avenue and mira george lucas a yesterday afternoon. only one home lost service, but the water spread to several streets. traffic was slow going because crews had to dig up a portion of the road to make repairs. and remember that sinkhole we talked about yesterday? crews temporarily patched it up. this is san francisco's noe val valley neighborhood. the hole under up between 24th and jersey streets yesterday after an 18-inch sewer line broke open. that crater is so deep that crews have delayed the repairs on that sewer line until saturday. once they get the proper safety equipment in, they will be able to shore up the 10-foot hole. but the sad news is, the bad news, muni's j church line is still affected. there is a bus bridge to get riders through the area. someone will start this new year a lot richer. a powerball ticket worth almost $2 million was sold in san jose and no one has claimed it yet. the ticket was purchased here at the wine rack on santa teresa boulevard. the ticket matched five of the six numbers in wednesday night's drawing. a full match would have been worth $300 million. instead, it's worth $1.9 million. take a look at winning numbers. 12, 61, 54, 38, and 36. the ticket did not have the matching powerball number, which was 22. 7:40 is the time now. the new year, good time to assess your finances. coming up in 15 minutes a look at what is in and what's out when it comes to spending your money. life... is unpredictable. life is deaths. and births. sickness and health. love and heartbreak. and covered california is there for it all. not just to help keep you well. but to make sure the cost of being unwell doesn't ruin this whole life thing. because it's more than just health care. it's life care. well, pope francis welcomed in the new year by celebrating mass at the vatican. the pope says now is the time to end indifference and persecution around the world. he pointed to the millions of refugees who continue to flee from their homes because of war and hunger. the catholic surge dedicated new year's day peace and mercy. now to washington where the state department released 3,000 more e-mails from hillary clinton's account when she was secretary of state. in all, about 55,000 pages of her e-mails are being made public, but the number released yesterday falls short of the mandate by a judge to make 82% of clinton's e-mails public by the end of the year. the department plans to release more next week. the democratic presidential frontrunner had no comment. time is 7:44. a time of year when we tend to take a close look at our money and finances. so what's in and what's out in the new year when it comes to your money? fox business network's adam shapiro takes a look at what is trending. >> reporter: it's the time of year when people reflect on their finances. >> they take a look at their financial situation, what went right, what went wrong in 2015, how can they make improvements in 2016, were they part-time employees, were they full-time employed. >> reporter: so what's in and what's out for 2016? regarding trends in the workplace, gigs are in. out full-time jobs. >> it's because of the employer mandate to provide health insurance. there are some new changes going into effect in 2016. health insurance is expensive for employers. so because of that as well as other factors, telecommuting, employees' desire for greater flexibility, the gig economy is poised to take off. >> reporter: trends for 2016 in, the burbs. out city life. >> trends are expected to skyrocket in 2016. they are going to go even higher. so you are going to see a slew of people actually move away from the city centers and to cheaper alternatives because affordable housing in the cities is just very scarce. >> reporter: say so long to paper transactions. peer-to-peer payments are in. cash and checks bye-bye. >> now that apple is in talks with u.s. banks to provide a new

boston, massachusetts. well, back here in the bay area the clean-up in san francisco, after last night's big new year's celebration, it started right away as soon as the fireworks ended. the clean-up

show despite the cold temperatures. san francisco police also out in force making sure the celebrants did not get out of hand. back to the live shot, this crew has cleared up this area on broadway. they are making their way through the city. happy new year, one of the major concerns, we noticed this morning coming in and driving around on the streets that there were some drivers out there who

here. >> they are moving fast, too. happy new year to them. time is 8:07. well, if you plan to ride bart today be ready. you are going to pay more. today bart fares go up almost 3.5%. so, for example, if you commute between walnut creek and downtown san francisco you will have to pay about 15 cents more each way. and if you go to sfo it will cost an extra 35 cents. it's part of bart's plan. they raised fares every other year to help pay for new train cars and also maintenance. we are learning about a crash that happened about 90 minutes ago on interstate 80 in fairfield. it took the life of a pedestrian. the highway patrol says a car hit and killed a person eastbound interstate 80. this is at the green valley road off-ramp. it's not clear right now what that person was doing, walking on the freeway. but officers are investigating what happened. no names have been released. time is 8:07. a vigil set for noontime today at the fruitvale bart station marking the seventh anniversary of the shooting death the oscar grant. hundreds of supporters gathered at a similar vigil last year. now, attending today's rally will be family members and close friends of oscar grant. also members of the black lives matter movement. he was shot to death at the fruitvale bart station by then bart police officer johannes mezly on january 1, 2009. he was released from jail after serving 11 months of a two year prison sentence. san francisco's police chief is asking the u.s. department of justice to review the city's police policies and training. the chief is also asking the community oriented policing office for advice on how officers should respond to people who are armed with knives. now, this follows a deadly december 2nd officer involved fatal shooting of mario woods. a stabbing suspect who was holding a knife at the time. the video of five officers shooting him several times led to protests and demands for the chief to resign. there is word president obama plans to announce a new executive action on gun control shortly after he comes back to the white house next week from his vacation in hawaii. the president talked about the issue in his weekly address released earlier this morning. >> a few months ago i directed my team at the white house to look into any new actions i can take to help reduce gun violence. and on monday i will meet with our attorney general, loretta lynch, to discuss our options because i get too many letters from parents and teachers and kids to sit around and do nothing. >> the sources who are familiar with the president's proposal say his executive action will include requiring an expanded number of smaller gun dealers to be licensed. therefore, be required to conduct background checks. now, this would not close the so-called gun show loophole, but it would narrow. the executive action is also expected to impose tougher controls for reporting guns that are lost or stolen. well, at 8:10 a lot of us have no doubt made resolutions as this brand new year begins. president obama is no expectation. doug luzader looks at how the president's 2016 pledges could affect all of us. >> reporter: beyond working on his golf game, which appears much improved in recent years, president obama has a lengthy list of resolutions for 2016 and he will finish this vacation and 2015 with just over one year to advance his vision for america. >> we are going to squeeze every last ounce of progress that we can make when i had the privilege of -- as long as i have the privilege of hold this office. >> reporter: the other big goal for 2016, helping to defeat whatever republican ends up winning the gop nomination next year. >> more than tiger woods. >> reporter: especially if it's donald trump, who appears to really get under the president's skin. >> i think we will have a strong democratic nominee. i think that democratic nominee will win. i think i will have a democratic successor and i will campaign hard to make that happen. >> reporter: for starters, it would be essential to keeping the president's agenda intact in coming years. therein lies the delicate balancing act for the president in 2016 pushing items like gun control, the trans pacific trade deal, and closing the prison at guantanamo bay. things that could be controversial while at the same time making sure he doesn't alienate potential independent and democratic voters come november. >> if he is serious about electing the democratic nominee, he is going to have to find ways to be less controversial and to you a peel to a broader section of the public. can he do it? i don't know. >> reporter: and no one really knows at this point. but it's clear that as his vacation winds to a close this weekend, the president will be looking ahead to a new year that could well determine what his legacy will be. 8:12 is the time now. the biggest party of new year's day. the rose parade is getting underway in pasadena right now. we will

of automated messages inviting users to celebrate 46 years of friendship. those folks have been friends for 46 years. they don't even look 46. >> no. facebook started in 2004. some of the people got the message are in their 20s and 30s. obviously, impossible to have done anything for 46 years at this point. facebook blaming it all on a software glitch. >> a new year's joke maybe? >> maybe. >>

are going to transition into a wet pattern that is going to last for several days. here is a look at your futurecast model this morning where we are waking up with a lot of sunshine out there. we do

start. it's a mostly clear start. started out with a freeze warning. that has expired, but it's still free agent. 26 in santa rosa. 26 in napa. novato 30. walnut creek at 38. 36 in oakland. along the peninsula this morning 31 in redwood city, 37 mountain view, san francisco starting out at 40 degrees. one of the warmer spots. 43 half moon bay. into the south bay san jose at 3 a. this is definitely the headline for most of us. a few more numbers. 31 menlo park as well as palo alto, 34 degrees in san mateo. getting into the afternoon another cool day expected. take a look at santa rosa. by 11:00, even noontime, still in the 40s. you may need the jacket the entire day. we will warm into the low 50s by 2, 3:00. definitely the warmer part of the day. and then sliding as we get into sunset about 5:00 back into the 40s. most of us will struggle to get into the 50s for today. i will have a look at the afternoon highs for your area in the extended forecast. rain on the way. more on that in just a bit. >> thank you. time is 8:34. we have brand new laws here in california from a minimum wage hike to gun control. as this new year begins, there are hundreds of new laws taking effect. ktvu fox 2's alex savidge joining us live now. tell us some of the changes. >> reporter: the governor signed more than 700 bills into law last year, and many will have an impact on workers here in our state. among other things, the minimum wage, it will bump up to $10 an hour today. it had been nine. that's a step up for some workers, although it may not have such a big impact in the bay area because several large cities like oakland and san francisco, they had set their minimum wage already at $12 an hour. now, a separate law, it will allow women to challenge gender-based wage gaps. this legislation requires employers to prove that a man's higher pay for similar work is not based on gender. lawmakers this year also focused on gun control. one piece of legislation, it was prompted by a shooting rampage at uc santa barbara back in 2014 that left six people dead. this new law allows family members to ask a judge to take away firearms from a relative who appears to pose a threat. now, another law dealing with gun control extends a ban on concealed weapons at schools and community colleges removing an exemption for those with concealed carry permits. also, starting in 2016 it will be a whole lot easier to get rid of that old mattress. a new law makes california just the second state in the nation to set up a recycling program for used mattresses and box springs. and you can find collection sites by going to a website that's called bye-bye mattress dot-com. and, of course, the goal there is to try to get people to get rid of those old mattresses the right way as opposed to dumping them on the sides of the roads, as we often tend to see, dave. they are trying to deal with the problem that way and set up a program here in california. >> right, right. all right. alex savidge, thank you for the update on these new laws. thank you. time is 8:36. starting today you are going to have to be at least 21 years old to buy a pack of cigarettes in some parts of the south bay. there is a new law. it changes the legal age to buy tobacco products and e-cigarettes from 18 to 21 in unincorporated santa clara county. stores in the area will be required, they have got to put up signs warning customers about this change. and if they violate the new law, those stores could be fined hundreds of dollars. they could also be suspended from selling tobacco products. as the new year began law enforcement agencies were busy. they were fanning out, looking for impaired drivers. now, from now through sunday the chp and other law enforcement officers, they are looking for impaired, reckless, or distracted drivers. they don't want a repeat of what happened last new year's. that's when 28 people died in crashes in california, and more than 1,100 people were arrested for dui. one officer said he has seen firsthand too many deadly crashes. >> it takes a mental toll on you, absolutely. you have to understand and try to put yourself in the family's shoes. >> officials say there is no excuse at all for drinking and driving. also, many public transit agencies extended their hours for new year's eve and aaa offered free tows and rides through the tipsy tow program. san francisco police are looking for people caught on camera stealing several luxury cars from a car dealership. now, police say three men and one woman cut the lock to the main gate of the royal auto group on hayward street early wednesday morning. then they drilled through the lock on a door to where the keys to the cars are stored. they took some keys and they drove off in several high-end cars worth several hundreds of thousands of dollars. a spokesman for the dealership says nothing like this has ever happened before. >> not in our 60-plus years of business have we ever had a vehicle stolen from our property that was in service. >> all together, seven cars were stolen. police described the three men and one woman as latino. it's not clear if the stolen cars belonged to the dealership or to some customers. time is 8:39. bay area grandmother accused of drowning her four-year-old grandson in a bathtub in fairfield did not enter a plea yesterday in her first court appearance. dawn rain hughes made a brief court appearance. she is charged with the murder of her four-year-old grandson. authorities haven't told us about any possible motive, but prosecutors say she may have an undisclosed mental problem. in court yesterday she wore a padded green vest designed to keep her from hurting herself. >> there does appear to be at least a partial mental health aspect to this case. we will have to investigate that as well. >> police say she admitted that she intentionally drowned her grandson. she is going to be back in court next week. meantime, the contra costa county sheriff's department released new images to show you of a robbery and a beating in alamo. it shows two men at a gas station on danville boulevard early sunday morning. one wearing a black hoodie and black and white camouflage pants. the other has on a grey jacket with white sleeves. well, they both beat the store clerk and stole items from the store. if you have any information about these two men, call the police. people in a san francisco neighborhood will have a lot of cleaning up to do this new year's day after a water main break. it happened in a home near 41st avenue in the city's outer sunset neighborhood yesterday afternoon. only one home lost service, but that water did spread to several streets. traffic also slow going in that area because crews had to dig up a portion of the road. and crews temporarily patched up that sinkhole in san francisco's noe valley, but the problem is far from fixed. that hole opened up between 24th and jersey streets yesterday after an 18-inch sewer line broke open. the crater is so deep that crews have delayed the repairs on that sewer line until tomorrow. once they get the proper safety equipment in they will be able to shore up that hole. but it is 10 feet. muni's j church line is still affected. there is a bus bridge to get people through that area. time is 8:41. super bowl 50 we know is headed for santa clara, but

temps once again. a live look over san jose. partly cloudy skies. a chilly one for you this morning. we will check in on the current conditions and talk about what you can expect for your bay area weekend coming up. welcome back to "mornings on 2". the state department released 3,000 more e-mails from hillary clinton's account. in all, about 55,000 pages of her e-mails are being made public. but the number released yesterday falls short of the mandate by a judge to make 82% of clinton's e-mails public by the end of the year. the department says it plans to release more next week. the democratic presidential frontrunner has no comment. time is 8:44. in europe celebrations muted because of terrorism concerns. police in munich, germany, evacuated two train stations because of a concrete trip. the islamic state terror group planned a suicide attack for midnight. police at a foreign intelligence told them that they planned attacks with as many as seven suicide bombers. well, both of those train stations have since re-opened. but munich police tweeted out this morning that the situation is still very serious. in paris the site of those deadly terror attacks in november new year's eve was scaled back. instead of a fireworks display there was a laser light show before midnight. about 11,000 police and troops were out on the street. that's 2,000 more than last year. the city of rochester in upstate new york scaled back celebrations last night. the city canceled their fireworks show after the fbi arrested a man in week in connection with an isis- inspired terror plot. authorities say 25-year-old emanuel lutchman planned to attack people with machetes and knives at a bar on new year's eve. the city still held a new year's eve party at the its convention center. extra police officers were deployed. our time is 8:46. on super bowl sunday fans won't be barbecuing or you won't see them setting up tents out of levi stadium because the nfl is banning any grilling, any tents, or other forms of tailgating in the parking lots for super bowl. patrons will be allowed to bring cold food, but you can't take up any additional parking spaces. the spokesperson for the nfl says the tailgating ban is because of security concerns. there will be invitation-only tailgate parties planned for the game day. again it's invitation only, as well as a plaza set up outside of levi stadium where fans can eat and drink. time is running out for a youth soccer league in the south bay to make its case against the nfl in court. starting on monday the nfl is going to take over the soccer league's soccer fields. they are right next to levi stadium. the plan is to turn that area into a media village for the super bowl. it's part of a long-standing deal the nfl made with the city of santa clara. lawyers for the youth soccer league tried but did not get a temporary restraining order. an injunction hearing is set for wednesday. but the nfl may start building on those fields before the judge hands down a ruling. that possibility is leaving these youth soccer league with no place to play. >> these fields are home. this is where we practice. >> very sore i it's come to this, especially at this 11th hour. but the city made hard commitments to the nfl in march of 2013. now at this point it's the city's obligation to make good on those commitments. >> now, the nfl promises they are going to repair the soccer fields after the super bowl, but the youth league, they are thinking that may take several months. the youth league wants access to three soccer fields somewhere in santa clara between january and june, and with either the city or the nfl paying for it. 8:48 is the time. and we want to check back in with rosemary. we have no traffic to mention. we
