Transcripts For KNTV Today In The Bay 20180131

Today, but vianey, how is it looking out on the roads . Its looking clear on our end in terms of the traffic maps. Overall the bay area has been fairly quiet, but chp was reporting that crash earlier that popped up on my map and this is along southbound 880 near highway 92. It appears to be a minor fenderbender, a tow truck is already on the way. So that should be cleared out. Not seeing any delays on our Speed Sensors which is always great news. A quick look at your bridge drive times, westbound 580 towards the Richmond Bridge 8 minutes, westbound 80 towards the bay bridge 10 minutes. Taking a live look outside is the metering lights are on. Back to you. Now to a developing story. We continue to follow out of richmond for you this morning. A shelter in place is now lifted after a massive fire at a metal scrap yard. We have been we have pete suratos out there right now, he is gathering more information, but we can tell you that it started about 12 hours ago at sims metal management, which is on south Fourth Street near interstate 580 and it sent thick plumes of smoke into the air. Firefighters are still on scene this morning, thats who pete is working with this morning, because though the shelter in place has been lifted the fire fight there still continues. Caltrans tells us that tollbooths at the richmondsan rafael bridge will be stopped again because that shelter in place has lifted so perhaps traffic a little bit more normal in the area. Now to our other top story this morning, President Trump calls for unity in his state of the Union Address. A live look at washington this morning where were hearing new reaction from lawmakers on his beach. The president made that address amidst bitter fights in washington over the russia investigation, and healthcare. Edward lawrence is live on capitol hill with the full recap for us. Certainly one that everyone can agree, this was a long state of the Union Address. Reporter yeah, marcus, it was, actually the third longest in state of the Union Address history. The president started with the first half talking about the economy. President trump outlined his economic successes in his first state of the Union Address. We enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in american history. Reporter the president set an ambitious agenda for his second year in office, starting with a 1. 5 trillion investment to rebuild the nations infrastructure.

One where nobody gets everything they want, but where our country gets the Critical Reforms it needs. Reporter the president called for an end to chain migration. Under the current broken system a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives. Under our plan we focus on reporter democrats also sending a silent message, wearing all black in support of the me too movement.

Now back to you, marcus. Thanks so much. Happening today parents at Marshall Elementary School will meet this morning to discuss a disturbing incident that reportedly happened on campus. A popular teacher is now being charged with child endangerment after allegations surface that had andres tobar held a young student over a second story balcony on campus back in september. He surrendered to Police Yesterday but some parents dont want him back in the classroom. Some say they do want him back. I dont think so. At least, i mean, not intentionally. I dont think he would do that. I mean, he would give his life for these kids so i dont think he would so i think its being handled really unfair. Now, the School District put tobar on paid leave. He is expected to answer to charges in court later this week. A followup now, Stanford University says its canceling plans to put a plaque on the campus site where a woman was sexual assaulted. That decision came after two sides couldnt agree on a quote for that marker. Representatives with the University Say they are deferring to the woman who decided not to participate after the school rejected several quotes she offered from a statement she read during the june 2016 sentencing of brock turner. A friend of the victim says the universitys poor handling of the situation scuttled this plaque meant to acknowledge the sexual assault. New details on whats next for a statue of Christopher Columbus at San Jose City hall. Late last night the city decided on a sixweek deadline to lock down a permanent home for the statue. It has been at city hall for decades but activists want it gone. Mayor sam liccardo suggested speaking with the Italian American community and having an answer in those six weeks. If there is no solution, it will go into storage. We should mention moving that 3 ton statue could cost up to 12,000. Happening now, a historic event in the skies as we might have mentioned once or twice this morning. It is a lunar trifecta. Beautiful scene you are looking at. This is the culmination of a super moon, blue moon and blood moon. This is something a lot of people have been looking at and certainly one that is captivating a lot of eyes this morning. Today in the bays Sharon Katsuda is live at the space and Science Center as a viewing party gets under way. This is pretty exciting and beautiful site. Im not sure what you can see right now. Reporter oh, my gosh, it is absolutely beautiful. Im talking pretty quietly because we want to respect the spectators out here. Take a look, there are about 200 people or more who showed up, they are still showing up because this totality will last until about 6 00, it happened at about 4 50 this morning and its continuing and it will end at about 6 00 this morning. So people are still showing up bundled up in blankets to see this incredible phenomenon. Right now with me is ast ron mer Gerald Mckeegan who tell us how rare this is. Hi, gerald. Hi there is. It is very rare, its been about 150 years since we have had one of these. We have three Different Things going on, we have a full moon, the full moon is happening when the moon is closest to the earth in its orbit and we have a Lunar Eclipse and weve got i guess thats it, yeah. And this hasnt happened since the civil war time. Yeah. Reporter so tell us what do you expect to see for the next hour . What can people see . Should they still head out . Right now we are in the middle of totality which is when the moon is in the earths inner shadow and that shadow is reddish in color. So when you look at the moon if you go outside right now and look at the moon you will see that its kind of a rusty red color. It will continue for about another 45 minutes or so and then the rusty red shadow will start to creep away from the moon. Okay. Thank you so much, gerald, for joining us this morning. Were definitely seeing that already. The rusty red color starting to disappear, but were seeing people still show up, even little kids. I just saw a fiveyearold on a fathers back coming out here to check out the scene. So a lot of fun. Get out there, it lasts until about 6 00. You still have time. Reporting live in oakland im Sharon Katsuda, today in the bay. A lot of folks are jazzed by sixth graders by getting up early and taking a picture and getting extra credit. Here is another look at the moon from our live stream in case you have to start getting out the door this morning. We did put it up on nbc bay area so you can take us with you when you leave the house. We also want to see your photos this morning through social media. Make sure that you tag us at nbc bay area across all of our platforms. Right now at 5 09 the issue for some is being able to see the moon because we have had some fog. Thats not an issue in the south bay right now as we take a live look oq1zoutside with some clea skies and our temperature now at 45 degrees, thats a chilly one, but look at where were headed, up to 68 degrees. Our temperatures will be quickly warming with all of that sunshine. Adds we go into the afternoon it will be a really nice day and the weather stays on repeat. So all of us reaching into the mid to upper 60s today and mostly sunny skies. We will talk about the temperature trend for palo alto coming up in about four minutes. Vianey gets us out the door, it looks already busy in some spots. We are starting to see a couple areas popping up where were starting to see delays. This is a typical spot at this early hour, westbound 580 at grant line road, it appears to be a minor traffic collision but it is blocking one of those lanes and thats why we are already starting to see heavy westbound 580. Also starting to see some delays from that earlier crash along southbound 880 right at highway 92, that was an earlier crash as well and they are working to clear that off to the side so this shouldnt be affecting too many commuters this morning. Back to you. Coming up next on today in the bay, moving forward, how you can get your say about googles massive Expansion Plan in san jose. Boy, if the markets have a tough day yesterday. Is there more to come when today in the bay continues. Its 5 13. Grab a nice warm jacket before you head out the door, weve got mostly clear skies in palo alto. Lets take a live look at 101, still looks pretty good out there, no fog, and temperatures will be in the mid 40s through about 8 00 and thenmon . Ur sv ramping up into the upper 50s by late morning. Mid 60s in the forecast today. We will still see some well above normal temperatures over the next few days but is there any rain . I will have the answer to that question coming up in five minutes. A quick check of your peninsula drive times, southbound 101 from van ness avenue towards sfo 12 minutes, 101 from sfo to highway 92 five minutes and southbound 101 from high 92 to bowers avenue about 20 minutes. All those plans for googles large expansion into san jose appear to be taking greater shape this morning. Google wants to build a Downtown Development in the area around diridon station. San jose Council Members yesterday approved a wide ranging Advisory Group that could help provide input. Group members will hold a series of Public Meetings for the next four months and then they will give that immediate back back to the city manager. Today is the deadline to get a free credit freeze through equifax. This comes after a data breach at the company last year. Experts say getting the credit freeze at all three Credit Bureaus is the best action consumers can take after that equifax hack whether youre affected by it or not. This is your last chance to register to get a free trusted id premiere and a free credit freeze. They provide one year of Free Services such as credit monitoring. The stock markets open in a little more than an hour after a drumming yesterday. Scott mcgrew, some big down arrows. Dow fell 362 points on the close there, marcus. At one point it was down 400. That was the worst day for the dow since last may. The bigger the dow gets the smaller the percentage loss, right . So a 362 point loss is not as bad as it used to be, about 1. 3 , but that bad day on the markets came right before Donald Trumps state of the union where he praised himself for a great economy. We saw a twitter record last night, 4. 5 million tweets during the speech according to twitter, the most ever during a state of the union. Cnbc reports federal agencies are investigating apple after it intentionally slowed down older iphones to make up for poor battery performance. Some people have decided to buy a new iphone because their phone wasnt working properly. Apple has since apologized over that. And marcus and kris, Silicon Valley overflowing with money and this is the apple iphone that we were talking about earlier. Again theres my dog i was looking for its not my dog but that is a cutie. There is this wag Dog Walking Service just raised 300 million from the soft bank fund, i used to pay a neighbor kid about a buck to walk my dog. This guy runs soft bank fund, he is a big spender in Silicon Valley all of a sudden, there are just dollars streaming out of his pocket. I assume he knows more about investing than i do but he just dumped 300 million into a Dog Walking Service. If you are trying to do a startup you have to talk to this guy because he is just everywhere he is handing out money to all kinds of different companies. Im sure his hope is that that company will become the next facebook. If one hits, boom, theyre gold. A good one with wag, a lot of folks use them because we cant get home in time to walk our dogs. Thank you very much, scott. Happening now that super blue blood moon continues, these are live pictures this time from the Griffith Observatory down in l. A. We are waking up with so many folks who are watching this phenomenon, making it an exciting Early Morning for us. It did make some of us late to set. I was out in the parking lot taking pictures. Sorry, producers. But it is really amazing to see and its just like, wow, this hasnt happened since 1866 for north america and for the west coast were really getting the best of it because we do have the totality happening here while the east coast is not seeing the complete Lunar Eclipse. As we start out this morning we do have some drifts of fog rolling around, but here is a live look from our San Francisco camera, still has that reddish hue to it, so thats the reason why we call it the blood moon. Its kind of the shadow of the earth being shown on to the moon and its definitely a beautiful sight this morning. Im also tracking that fog for you this morning where weve seen the visibility in santa rosa down to threequarters of a mile, napa visibility at half a mile. We have seen dense fog over the Central Valley starting to move into the delta and also parts of the east bay and we have some fog along the coast. So this morning you do have to take it easy and allow extra time to get to where youre going. You want to check out that sevenday forecast at the bottom of the screen for the peninsula now showing some very warm temperatures over the next few days. We are heading into the upper 60s today in the south bay, 69 in danville and 70 in halfmoon bay. San francisco 62 in the Marina District and 65 today in santa rosa. If its a beach day for you, low 70s in santa cruz. This is the last day of january so why not celebrate with a day out at the beach. Were going to have more dry weather, High Pressure keeping any rain away from the bay area and it would be really nice to get some rain at this point because we do so desperately need it, but there is none in the sevenday forecast. I will talk more about that, but vianey gets us out there with a look at the morning commute. I checked out santa cruz for the first time this weekend. Beautiful. Another thing thats looking good is my traffic maps. Look at this, Speed Sensors not picking up major delays. Earlier we were tracking a crash along westbound 580 at grant line road. Those three vehicles that were involved are now off to the right hand shoulder so we should start to see a lot of the people catching up to work. East bay drive times right now northbound 880 only about nine minutes but one place thats always a mess, taking a live look outside right now is the bay bridge camera. We have seen the metering lights on for the past about i want to say 25 minutes and its backed up out there. Back to you. Coming up next on today in the bay, heading back to court, the reason former usa gymnastics doctor sentenced for molesting young girls will face a judge once again today. Disgraced forma gymnastics doctor larry nassar will be back in court to happening today, disgraced former team usa gymnastics doctor larry nassar will be back in court to face more victims. Last week a judge sentenced nassar to 175 years in prison for sexual abuse. The gymnasts tied to that case were able to confront nassar in court two weeks ago. Todays case is separate and it is tied to sentencing for an assault case at an elite michigan club. More than 50 victims are expected to present impact statements today. Also new this morning, u. S. Gold medalist simone biles is opening up about being victimized by nassar as well. A short time ago she appeared on the east coast airing of nbcs today show. She became emotional as she was talking about nassars sentencing. I think its very hard for someone to go through what ive gone through recently and its very hard to talk about, but other than that i think the judge is my hero just because she gave it to him straight and didnt let him get any power over any of the girls and letting the girls go and speak was very powerful. Biles and her teammates had to compartmentalize what happened in order to compete at a high level during olympics biles says. The interview airs for us during the 8 00 hour of today. Sonoma county is reportedly planning legal action against pg e for the destructive north bay wildfires. The press democrat reports the county plans to filed a 25 million lawsuit to cover the cost for cleaning and deb friday replacement and replacing infrastructure. Cal fire has still not determined the exact cause of the fires and says that utility still has its focus on the recovery efforts. This would be the first fiverelated lawsuit filed by a government entity. Happening today a reminder to employers. Today is the deadline to file w2 forms. This year the deadline was pushed up after a new federal law was passed to make it easier for the irs to detect and prevent refund fraud. Now, the irs must also hold some refunds until february 15th. Coming up next on today in the bay, keeping you safe. The new signs up in the south bay to help people evacuate the next time there is a wildfire. We are minutes away from totality of the super blue blood moon. We will bring it to you live coming up after the break. The time now 5 25. Ectacular sho in the sky this morning. Good morning to you all. We are all waking up to a spectacular show in the sky. A lunar trifecta right there and its about to be at totality. A combination of a super moon, blue moon and blood moon and it is just a beautiful sight. We talked about this all day yesterday, but i didnt expect this. Im happy. Yeah . Im happy to be here to see it. Good morning. Thank you all for joining us, im marcus washington. Were inside, though, we are not able to get outside so our director was kind in you have to put it in one of the monitors so we get to watch it all morning long, you get to watch it here at the bottom of the screen. At least now you can see it, earlier it just looked like a black box because we did have that totality. Meteorologist kari hall is tracking the visibility factors as well. Some folks out of luck in the north bay. Weve seen that fog drifting around and doesnt the full moon and blood moon look exactly mike my graphic here. We still have about 37 minutes left before we will still have the visibility here, the issue as we see that bright red moon. Weve been talking about that patchy fog and its been blocking the view in parts of the north bay. Until about 7 11 thats when we will see the complete end of that, but thats also when the sun will be rising. Here is a look at our visibility now. Napa is down to a half of a mile, santa rosa a mile and a quarter. Weve seen is also drifting around parts of the east bay coming out of the Central Valley. I will have an eye on that and a also an eye on the weekend. Thats coming up in about seven minutes, but vianey has been tracking some of the issues out there on roads, but it looks pretty good, right . Looking good so far, the only thing im starting to see is the typical morning buildup in terms of the commute. Not a lot of accidents. We did have that earlier crash along westbound 580 at grant line road, that is off to the shoulder. The yellow that you see up there, thats that fog that kari is talk being in the north bay. Both hands on the wheel and turn on those low lights or fog lights if you have them. Now, we are expecting to still see a little bit of this backup out here near grant line road. Aside from that Everything Else is looking pretty good. Back to you. Happening now, that lunar trifecta combination of super moon, blue moon, blood moon still lighting up our skies this morning. This is the picture from nasa from the giriffith observatory this morning. Scott budman is live with a closer look. Scott, this is a beautiful sight for a lot of us. Reporter yeah, marcus, it really is. I will tell you i am in the south bay and this is sort of what we call backyard astronomy. There are people who gather by the dozens and some people who are alone in a parking lot, but nonetheless its a really cool way to get out and see it wherever you are. Im in the south bay in san jose, south part of the city. There is some cloud cover coming in, that and the combination of what youre talking about, how rare this lunar event actually is making it a little tough to see either with the naked eye or telescope, but if you get it just right and try to go in an area where there is not much light i think you will have success. We have also seen a couple people come by with their smart phones and they have taken some pictures. This is all over social media. But, yeah, i will tell you its a good morning to actually get out a little bit early and just even see it with the naked eye like kari was talking about. We are very near totality. It is red, it is a very unusual thing to see and like you guys mentioned, it doesnt happen all that often and its pretty cool to see, again, whether with the naked eye or if you can find one of these. It is another historic event when we can get you up early for today in the bay, scott. Youre usually a daytime person. So thanks for waking up with us. Reporter anytime. I want to see what you see from that telescope. Reporter anytime. Its my pleasure. We want to see your pictures of the moon this morning. Make sure you send them to us on our social media app or platforms. Thats nbcbayarea. Happening today leaders of a struggling south bay School District will try to hammer out planned school closures. San joses oak grove district plans to close four schools at the end of the school year. District leaders say enrollment dropped by about 1,000 over the past four years adding up to losses of about 50 million in revenue. In all six schools are being floated as possible closure candidates. The bay area ballet instructor accused of molester a minor is expected in court today. Viktor kabaniaev is expected to be arraigned in a Martinez Court this afternoon. Contra costa county prosecutors say he molested a girl under the anyone of 14. That instructor was working or has worked with several local Ballet Companies including in San Francisco, walnut creek and daly city. Investigators say its possible there are more victims out there. And new this morning, Sonoma County deputies credit an alert resident with noticing this truck in an area destroyed by last octobers wildfires and then reporting it to authorities. This may look like a work truck but investigators say the two suspects were actually a bogus cleanup crew complete with fake uniforms, hard hats, stealing from burned out properties. They are accused of taking medal and tools and stealing the items for profit. The men are facing felony theft charges. You might notice new street signs in parts of the south bay, those signs come after last years bear fire. Take a look, we got video this morning. These are new wildfire Evacuation Route signs along los gatos and month serene know. The need came to light after the bear fight last october. It burned six structures and 400 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains last october. Some folks found themselves on small back roads they might not have used before. In order to help folks be ready to evacuate quickly los gatos and the Santa Clara County Fire Department are hosting a Community Meeting that will address escape routes, also how to build that critical 72hour survival kit. They are also going to talk about Defensible Space and any other questions that iz is might have. That meeting is tonight from 7 00 to 9 00 at the Jewish Community center on oka road in los gatos. You can preregister through event bright. Com but you dont have to. Our exclusive investigation into a Popular Grocery store chain continues to grow he this morning. Last week we exposed the 99 ranch market in san jose. Raw meat was being transported in shopping carts and our reporting sparked a federal response on food safety. This morning another photo of raw meat sitting uncovered on a loading dock. A viewer sent us this from the 99 ranch market in richmond. One of our sources who says he works closely at the store tells us that this picture that picture was taken in november. After we broke the story on our 5 00 newscast last night Contra Costa Environmental Health inspectors went to the 99 ranch market and they tell us that they are satisfied with the way raw meat is being handled inside the store, but our investigation our investigating the way that that meat is being delivered. Its very disturbing because you would think such a big operation should know better. Now, here are the photos we uncovered last week. The shopping cart filled with meat at a san jose store. 99 ranch tells us that this was an isolated incident. Walgreens is paying three bay area counties more than 2 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the company was selling some expired products. Those products included baby food, infant formula and over the counter drugs. Santa clara, san mateo and Contra Costa County are the main cities getting the money as part of that settlement. Santa cruz county will also get some of that cash. Investigators found that the walgreens chain also charged customers more than those posted items posted prices for some items. Good morning, it is 5 37. Time for a quick check of the roads. Overall look at the bay area there we go weve got a couple green spots and, yes, were still seeing slowing along westbound 580 at grant line road. The thing im most noticing is weather related. We have seen a little bit of that fog or dense fog in novato and unfortunately that is making it difficult for some folks to see the blood super moon. Peninsula drive times southbound 101 from van ness avenue towards sfo 12 minutes, southbound 101, five minutes. East bay also looking food, we are starting to see some delays along westbound 24 from fish ranch road towards the bay bridge, about 15 minutes.

Thank you very much. 5 43 right now, developing story in Southern California this morning, the Investigation Continues after this deadly Helicopter Crash in newport beach. Three people died and two others were injured in that crash. Now, police say that four people were on board that helicopter as it slammed into a home yesterday afternoon. The helicopter appeared to clip the tile roof of one home, then it skidded along the ground through an intersection before then smashing into the side wall of another home. So far we dont know why this happened. A new frightening video this morning, it shows the u. S. Navy plane flying over the black sea having very Close Encounter with a russian war plane this week. Its so close it almost looks like one plane. The navy says the russian jet came within five feet of the american ep 3 aries in the International Air space. The state department protested that maneuver as an unsafe interaction. They are calling on russia to seize these unsafe actions. Happening today in San Francisco the u. S. Navy is holding a Community Meeting on the ongoing cleanup at Hunters Point shipyard. Our Investigative Unit has been unearthing new information about that cleanup. Navy officials tell us theyve been reviewing radiation data from cleaning contractor tetra tech. Officials believe 50 of that data showed inconsistencies and that a good portion of it is likely fraudulent. That could lead to more cleanup. The 900 acre site was once home to a radiological defense lab, its now set to become one of San Franciscos largest redevelopment projects which will include new homes, parks and shops. You can watch our full investigative report on nbcbayarea. Com. California State University is considering raising tuition for a second straight year. The board of trustees says that the governors new proposed budget just doesnt have enough money for their 23 campuses. Trustees are discussing a proposed hike that would raise instate tuition by 228 for the 201 201 school year. That would bring the cost of under graduate tuition to nearly 6,000. Csu is the largest University System in the country. Time is running out to sign up for healthcare through covered california. That deadline is midnight tonight. Despite the trump administrations attempt to weaken the Affordable Care act signup for healthcare here in california has been strong this year as ten days ago more than 340,000 new consumers have signed up for insurance through covered california. Outpacing last years numbers. More than 1. 2 million existing members have renewed their coverage for this year. New this morning, late night tv appearance for the adult film star creating a storm of controversy. Stormy daniels is the womans stage name. Viewers thought she might talk about rumors surrounding an affair with donald trump in 2006. Turns out she did not. She appeared last night on jimmy kimmel live. In a Statement Released yesterday and attributed to hershey said she was denying an affair with trump because it never happened. When kimmel pressed her about the discrepancies with her signature on that statement she played coy. That does not look like my signature, does it . It doesnt look like your signature. Youre saying perhaps this letter was written and released without your approval. Remained silent when kimmel asked other questions about the alleged affair. Trumps attorney has said that an affair never happened, but the wall street journal recently reported a 130,000 payment made to daniels to keep the issue under wraps. What are you doing on the jimmy kimmel show if you are not talking about it. Millions of americans watched President Trump deliver the state of the Union Address last night. Scott mcgrew, lots of people had strong reactions. Twitter said there was a Record Number of tweets last night. You are certainly seeing reaction from talking heads on cable news this morning. What we have not seen and i literally just checked about 30 seconds ago is a tweet from donald trump this morning. So far nothing and he is in prime tweet time. All in all standard speech. The usual calls for unity, praise for various guests in the audience as well. One of those things that we were looking for was more information on trumps plan on immigration. Here is the president last night. Over the next few weeks the house and senate will be voting on an Immigration Reform package. In recent months my administration has met extensively with both democrats and republicans to craft a bipartisan approach to Immigration Reform. You may have seen Chuck Schumers face wiggle a bit when the president talked about bipartisan meetings. Those are the meetings where trump called african countries that bad word and where he reneged on a bipartisan deal brought to him by a team of republicans and democrats. No you, one significant moment trump once again called for a path to citizenship for dreamers. The first pillar of our framework generously offers a path to citizenship for 1. 8 million Illegal Immigrants who were brought here by their parents at a young age. That covers almost three times more people than the Previous Administration covered. Now, thats significant because hard line republicans call that amnesty and its been a third rail for conservatives. The deadline to fix daca a little bit more than a month away. In many ways were seeing two different versions of the president depending on the context. The president delivering a straightforward speech with a teleprompter and a president slinging insults via twitter calling for bipartisan on the left, but calling Democratic Senators names on twitter each morning. We examine what the president is up to, even when he is not delivering the state of the union speech, you can find me on twitter as well. Thank you very much, scott. Happening now, live pictures of the super blue blood moon from our San Francisco camera.

Agents were seen leaving the parachute center with boxes and garbage bags though we dont know at this point what was inside. The business has a troubled past including 15 skydiving deaths since 2000. In 2016 an 18yearold and his instructor died from a tandem jump. Investigators later determined that the instructor was not certified. Earlier in 2016 a plane carrying 18 people lost power and crashed in a vineyard. Everyone walked away from that one.
