Attorney general Jeff Sessions issued a new memo which allows federal prosecutors to be more tough on marijuana cases. In response, Lieutenant Governor gavin newsom tweeted i think its a waste of time. They are trying to get back at californians, Jeff Sessions, and i dont think thats fair. People voted. People want it. Reporter enthusiasm for the new law can be found throughout the city. A Mexican Restaurant is advertising ticketed special dungeness dinners paired with cannabis cocktails, with a cannabis compound not known to be psycho active. We are in a progressive city.

Earthquake researchers are getting a closer look or listen to the tremor that shook much of the bay area yesterday morning. The 4. 4 quake struck at 2 39 a. M. And was centered near berkeley on the hayward fault. Kpix 5s andria borba reports. Reporter thats what it sounded like eight miles down in the hayward fault. You could see it coming. You can see theres some wiggles here still going on, and we can hear a little bit of that. Reporter the doctor is part of a team of geophysicist at the berkeley seismological lab. With cal directly on top of the hayward fault, their lab is directly below them underground and everyone is listening closely. In 2014, i took you inside an old mine shaft that runs into the hayward fault where scientists have planted some seismometers and microphones. It cuts 200 feet into the side of the cal campus but we can only go 20 feet inside because it isnt safe without the proper crews and safety equipment. And since then they have added more seismometers including one bore directly into the hayward fault at memorial stadium. It recorded the earthquake very nicely. Reporter the location couldnt have been more perfect. With the epicenter of todays shaker a mile away under the claremont hotel, that sound you hear is the pacific and north american plates moving past each other. The plates are basically stuck. And theyre stressing, sort of the way irish band and theyre stretching, sort of the way a rubber band stretches and stretches and stretches and you never know when this sort of a band is going to break. So what we actually heard is more like the rubber band breaking. It really sounds kind of like thunder. Reporter the doctor says its a warning about the tectonic time bomb that is the hayward fault. Places like the hayward fault when it goes and even temperature its only a 6. 5 or 7, its going right through hayward, oakland, berkeley, there will be a lot of damage. Reporter andria borba, kpix 5. Hopefully for some time we dont hear a sound louder than that, right, in the near future. At least thats a good warning for everyone to be prepared. Yes. Lets talk about your weather right now. Looking at hidef doppler and, yes, the action has arrived looking at the rain coming down. Here it is all across northern california. Some scattered showers. Its not too severe at this morning hour but it will pick up in the next couple of hours. Already near novato, rain coming down pretty good on 101, petaluma as well in the yellow. So thats about a quarter inch of rain per hour. Also, further south, just south of lagunitas on 1. Thats where the rain is coming down. So just at the coastline, we are noticing it, also to the north in santa rosa, near calistoga this little band winding down a little bit as we get to the higher elevations. But yes, some of the north bay will definitely see plenty of rain. All of this right here to the north is going to be moving further down south. We also have some more moisture right off the coast that will be arriving. So were talking about scattered showers throughout the day with most of it the bulk of it before noon this morning. And especially across the north bay. You can see on our satellite radar, theres even some broken up clouds, some clearing in san jose and redwood city, but all of the storm action is going to arrive and were talking scattered showers for the south to pretty light there and the east bay but again, most of it will stay up here. Ill talk more about the rain totals and your weekend forecast coming up in just a bit. Thank you. And we are tracking some slowdowns. This is along highway 17 in the southbound direction all due to a power pole that reportedly exploded overnight. And crews are out there. They have shut down the far right lane. Theres only two lanes along that stretch. And so that right lane will stay blocked while they work on repairing that. We are seeing a backup just beyond Lexington Hills and the pole is in the area. In the santa cruz mountains, heads up. Slowdowns on 17. The rest of the ride heading to the south bay looking okay. Minor delays along 237 heading eastbound. No reports of accidents or stalls. Bay bridge toll plaza looking okay. Were learning more about the foiled Christmas Day terror plot on San Franciscos pier 39. Everitt jameson of modesto has been indicted.

A big battle over a new book detailing the inner workings of the white house at a bookstore in washington, dc, people lined up before midnight to await the release of fire and fury by author michael wolff. President trumps lawyers tried to block the release of the book. The publisher responded by moving the release date from next week to today. Mola lenghi explains why the white house didnt want the book to hit store shelves. I dont talk to him. I dont talk to him. I dont talk to him. Reporter President Trump distanced himself from former chief strategist steve bannon thursday who is quoted throughout a new book which is critical of the president. The big picture here is a picture of a white house that is chaotic, of of a lot of back stabbing. Reporter bannon said that donald trump, jr. And Jared Kushner were treasonous and unpatriotic when they met with a russian lawyer in june 2016. It gives validation to something the president and the white house have been trying to undermine. Reporter when news of the trump tower meeting first broke, President Trump huddled with advisers on air force one to discuss how to frame the meeting but that discussion may have does the president one of his top lawyers. May have cost the president one of his top lawyer. A Trump Campaign lawyer resigned because he thought the air force one conversation constituted obstruction of justice. The alleged obstruction of justice would fall under special counsel Robert Muellers investigation. Wolff also writes that the president has asked associates to help pursue an antimueller campaign on his behalf in a tweet late thursday the president said have the ability to select the physical, and mental traits of reporter mola lenghi, cbs news, the white house. Time now 4 40. In the future parents could have the ability to select the physical and mental traits of their children. Well take a closer look at the technology that could be in use sooner than you think. Plus, bay area hospitals are taking extra precautions as flu season gets off to a rough start in california. Flurelated deaths. The statewide outbreak has its early in the season but Santa Clara County Health Officials are reporting four flu deaths. It prompted some hospitals to restrict or suspend visiting hours. At laguna honda hospital in San Francisco, two nursing units are under quarantine as a precaution to protect the elderly patients. In Monterey County where one flu death is reported, visitors to Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital can only see patients for 15 minutes. Statewide, at least 17 people under age 65 have died because of the flu so far this year. It may be possible to have Children Free from deadly diseases but who have carefully been selected with physical and mental traits and skin cells could be used to create the ideal embryo. Only on 5, Elizabeth Cook shows us why this future is closer than you think. Reporter from the moment of her birth, sadie was ready to see the world. She was actually born with her eyes open. Reporter thanks to Mother Nature, sadie was also born with a mind of her own. She is definitely going to be her own woman. Reporter and while in her own mothers eyes, sadie is perfect, in the not too distant future, perfection will be deliberate and created in a lab. Experts predict parents will be able to choose a particular child to have before the child is conceived. This is all thanks to new and emerging reproductive technology. Most of our babies in 20 to 40 years will be conceived in a clinic. Reporter the professor of law and genetics at stanford and author of the end of sex believes having actual sex in order to reproduce will become obsolete even for fertile couples. Babies will be created in vitro. Not in the bedroom, not in the car. Reporter he says fertility experts will create human eggs and sperm by using stem cells derived from a piece of your skin. Its already been done with mice. With a few skin cells, you can make a countless number of embryos. How many eggs do you get . How many do you want . Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions. Reporter the embryos will be screened as they can be today for certain genetic diseases as well as gender. In the future, well also be screened for certain traits parents might find irresistible, hair color, eye color, height, behavior. They will be asked what they want to know, they will be told their answers for their 100 embryos and asked to choose which embryo they want. The Way Technology is advancing, i think theres a very real possibility that could happen. Reporter she says with ivf women go through egg retrieval which is costly and requires injections. If they can have a little bit of skin removed and make eggs out of that, it would be easier medically. Reporter the Technology Opens up reproduction to those typically shut out of having their own genetic child. You know, a single male, samesex couple or a woman who is older and maybe doesnt have good eggs anymore. Reporter the benefit is a healthy child. The concern people may start to keep out other characteristics that are not clearly beneficial for the child from a health standpoint. Reporter add to the debate a new tool seen here in action for the first time. Its a stunning gene editing technique. The gene is getting edited and the dna is taken out. The next step, replace it with a different gene to fix a bad genetic mutation. Changing biology and changing the world. Reporter in the future, it may be used to permanently tweak or change diseasecausing genes in an embryo. The concern, that it will also be used to enhance babies. For example, making them smarter or stronger. Thats a world we dont want to live in. Reporter this woman is executive director of the center for genetics and society in berkeley. She questions if parents will feel pressured to genetically engineer their offspring. So they can get into the right preschool and the right grade school and the right college. We already live with that. Do we want to amp it up even more . Reporter as for sadies mother, she prefers Mother Nature but imagines the pressure. Someone like me decides to let Mother Nature you know take the lead, is that child going to be at a disadvantage . The doctor cautions that before this technology is used, experts need to ensure that we are not increasing some unknown risk to these babies in the future. It is 4 48. Lets check weather.
