Investigators say she was angry when she left the Walmart Store because she wasnt allowed to return batteries. She got into her car and backed up quickly and crashed into a family of five knocking down a 3yearold girl in the process with. And thats when police say she got even more enraged. Check out what happened next. She peeled out of her parking space into that family again. The mother picked up the daughter, moved away. As soon as she was able to pick her up, the female gunned it again and backed up in that direction. Had the child been there, it probably would have been hit. Reporter the 3yearold and mother are okay with minor injuries treated at the scene. Heres the drivers picture again. She is an underaged driver but may be as old as her late teens.

Today marks the start of an Electronics Ban for people flying into the u. S. From middle east and north africa countries. Kpix 5s jackie ward is live at sfo with the latest reporter kenny, this will affect security at ten different airports in the middle east and countries in Northern Africa. Security here at sfo wont change at all. So this is a heightened security measure that starts today. It will force people coming to the United States from eight countries abroad to Check Electronics bigger than a cell phone, lab tops, tablets and cameras. People will be able to check them but cant carry them into the cabin of the plane. Those flights are long. People want to use that time to be productive. Reporter according to a statement from department of Homeland Security, the move is based on intelligence indicating that terrorist groups continue to target commercial aviation to include smuggling explosive devices in various consumer items, cell phones and medical devices are not part of the ban. From sfo, jackie ward, kpix 5. Has Something Like this ever happened before or is it unprecedented . Reporter kenny, actually back in 2014, there was a similar ban by president obama that prevented electronics from being allowed on flights from europe to the United States. Back to you. Thank you. So much for that. Were seeing some high states hear in washington this week first with james comeys double blow to the trump administration. And this morning president Trumps Supreme Court nominee faces questions from the senate. We turn to our washington insider marc sandalow. How damning was director comeys testimony yesterday . Reporter michelle, things are happening so fast in washington. The president coming up to the capital right behind me in another hour talking about maybe a healthcare vote to replace obamacare the day after tomorrow. So you lose perspective on how high on the Richter Scale these things are. Yesterday fbi director james comey acknowledged that the Current Administration the campaign for the current president is under fbi investigation for potentially colluding or at least communicating with the russians. Thats a big deal and if you want to know what a big deal it is last year during the campaign republicans repeatedly including donald trump and his Campaign Said that Hillary Clinton couldnt serve as commanderinchief because she was under an fbi investigation for allegedly emailing from private servers. The other thing he did is specifically said that Donald Trumps tweets about the former president wiretapping him are not true. Now, i dont think anybody anymore takes Donald Trumps tweets all that literally or seriously anymore but remember we have the current president accusing the past president of what would amount to one of the biggest scandals in American History. Tapping illegally somebodys running for office who is his opponent and the fbi director said absolutely not. Mark, that was a lengthy hearing yesterday. The white house and republicans in congress say that the real story here is the leaks. They have a point. Reporter the leaks are a big deal. You know, you go back to, um, when the San Francisco chronicle broke the story about barry bonds taking steroids, how did they know that . They had leaked testimony from a grand jury that was illegal and the person who leaked it to the chronicle went to jail. Thats real important. But the big story, of course, with barry bonds and Baseball Players were use steroids. Its almost like going back to watergate when was asked what did the president know and when did he know it . If instead the big topic of the watergate hearing is who is deep throat leaking the information to the washington post. Of course the leakers are important. Its a big story. Senator Dianne Feinstein offered blistering words regarding Supreme Court nominee neil gorsuch so can we assume that she is a no vote. Reporter i think so. Michelle, its interesting when you go back, Dianne Feinstein when she was elected to the u. S. Senate, was the very first woman to serve on the Senate Judiciary committee ever. All the of American History a woman had never been on the panel before. Now she is the ranking member. She is the top democrat. She was blistering yesterday talking about his originalist views of the constitution and and and segregation would still going on. When the constitution had been written there had been women burned at the stake for witchcraft not that long before that. I think its fair to say that Dianne Feinstein will be a no vote with a lot of democrats she is very upset that this was a vacancy that opened up a year ago when Justice Scalia died and something republicans did not let president obama fill. And and and waited until President Trump could fill it with a conservative. She will be voting no as probably all democrats. Theres just one of many things that well keep an eye on in the capital. Marc sandalow this morning from washington, dc. Thank you. Time now 5 10. An investigation is under way after a bay area woman dies from drinking tea at a local shop.

Looking at these films, we found a lot of different pieces of information had not been analyzed back in the 50s and we are discovering new things about these detonations never seen before. The u. S. Government has now declassified the videos. One of the scientists at the lab says that he wants the public to see how powerful these tests can be so people might be more reluctant to use them. In a few hours, the mayors of antioch, san ramon and danville will help deliver meals to homebound seniors in contra costa county. Its part of a new march more Meals Campaign launched by meals on wheels.

All right. We have a check of the forecast now. Its wet and its windy, too, right . Its been very windy and what concerns me is we have a lot of instability in the atmosphere today so while we have a threat of a thunderstorm at any point of the day we have already been seeing some lightning strikes this morning in the north bay, i really have to keep a watchful eye, i believe, on the Central Valley today. Its the given tornado season and you cant rule out the possibility even if its a small tornado on a scale of one to five being a one at any point of the day in the Central Valley, stockton, merced, modesto, fresno. So its a day where it really bears watching as far as our weather is concerned. We are under storm watch right here at kpix 5 and lets show you why. Good morning, everybody.

Its part of an ordinance that blocks travel to states that approve legislation discriminating against lgbt people. President trump has released his budget blueprint for fiscal year 2018. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger is here to break it down. Explain the difference between the deficit and the debt. Reporter yes. Absolutely. Because we want to get the terminology down. The deficit thats the annual calculation that finds the difference between what the government takes in and what it spends. Think of it like your familys annual budget. According to the congressional budget office, the deficit for fiscal year 2017 is projected to be 559 billion. Thats about 3 of gross domestic product. Now, the debt, thats a total amount that you borrow year after year think of it like the outstanding credit card balance. Hey, i borrowed to fund that deficit. Right now, the total National Debt stands at 20 trillion. Its divided into debt which is held by the public, thats about 14. 5 trillion, and debt that the government essentially owes itself 5. 5 trillion. So jill the trump proposal provided some details about spending. What did it omit . Reporter well, the plan actually outlined the very big changes to discretionary spending. And that includes most defense, education, transportation programs among others. And that kind of spending is determined through congressional appropriation. But the plan left out any mention of mandatory or nondiscretionary spending. Thats governed by law. It includes things like entitlement programs social security, medicare, medicaid. Also, unemployment insurance. Federal retirement programs. Student loans. Deposit insurance. Whats important about this mandatory side, its about 60 of all federal spending. And so the fact that it was left out probably means that this budget blueprint is not really going anywhere. They rarely do when they come from the president. We really need to wait for congress to weigh in and then they will go through the changes. Jill schlesinger, thank you. [ music ] it is 5 41. Uber is changing directions on its planned expansion in oakland.

The company also reportedly plans to put hundreds of employees in the renovated Sears Building in oakland next year. They had discussed putting as many as 3,000 there.
