Negotiating with him. Trying to get him to come down. This is tape here. This is not a live picture. The chp describes the man as distraught. Hes about 25 feet above the roadway. The coast guard, as well as San Francisco police boats have also moved in to the area. This is about halfway between the city and treasure island. Want to give you a live look of the toll plaza i mentioned. You can see the backup getting in to San Francisco right now. And its not just here. This traffic backup goes all the way into the maze. All the way into the lower east shore. Westbound 80 lanes. Past albany. This goes into 580 in richmond. 808 starting to back up a little bit. If you think about detours, you have the san mateo bridge. We have bart. You have the richmond san rafel bridge and across the golden gate bridge. Chp officer of the highway patrol. Well talk about the traffic impact in a minute. First id like to start with the negotiations to get this man to safety. Reporter yes, good afternoon. We are currently speaking with the gentleman. Both our officers as well as hostage negotiators or negotiators from the San FranciscoPolice Department are in communication with the gentleman and trying to determine exactly what is going on with him so we can talk him down safely. It started about 10 30. Here we are about an hour and a half into it. Are officers prepared to let him stay there to go on as long as it takes or is there some perhaps pressure to resolve the situation for everyone who is stuck in traffic . Well, we obviously understand that there is a Significant Impact on traffic currently because we on the bridge going westbound. However, we are also talking to the gentleman and we want to make sure we do everything we can to make sure that were able to talk him down safely. His well being is certainly important and thats what were trying to determine right now is why hes up there and what we can do to get him back down. Officer williams, has any information been relayed to you from officers at the scene in regards to specific conversation that hes having right now . Or what hes actually talking about . You know, thats between him and the negotiators. Sure. Im not sitting in on those conversations. So he essentially drove his own vehicle on to the bridge, parked it and climbed up on his own . Whats been reported and what were hearing is what he was doing is he drove his vehicle on the bridge, it broke down in the number one lane at Center Anchorage, one of our tow Truck Drivers came up behind him to assist him and then noticed that the gentleman climbed out of his vehicle and at that point climed up on to the anchorage itself. Any other individuals with him at the time in that vehicle . Can you hear me . Yeah. Any other individuals with him in the vehicle . No. No, he was by himself. Okay. Does he have a weapon, do you know . Weve not seen any weapons. Hes not brandished any weapons. In fact, theres a camera thats stationed right above where he is and our camera operators are also not seeing any weapons on him. Okay. Officer vu williams, thanks for joining us. Our big story happening at noon right now, there is a major traffic mess happening on the bay bridge. There is a man who is sitting in the very center of it. We just heard that this mans well being is of the utmost importance and there is no rush to clear the traffic backlog. Thats the lower east shore through University Avenue and berkeley. The westbound lanes backed up all the way past albany on to 580 in richmond. The smaller box, the approach toll follow plaza as folks try to inch their way. Not even a lot of inching going on on the way to the bay bridge. A number of lanes closed because of this incident. Theres more traffic breaking news happening in the east bay right near 880 in the Castro Valley area. Sky fox to bring us a picture of this overturned big rig. This has caused a closure of the connector ramp from 880 northbound to 238 southbound. 238, that little stretch of road, thats what you typically take to get from 860 to 560. The reason the road is closed is because the big rig is leaking a material or chemical and thats requiring a hazmat response. The driver does appear to be okay. So far there is no estimate on the time of reopening the lanes. We can tell from this live picture from sky fox, 880 northbound as ewe coming up from hayward toward Castro Valley is very slow at this time. Traffic maps on ktvu. Com show a big backup almost to 92. These live pictures bear that out. Trouble on 880 northbound. Heres that traffic were talking about. You cant get from 880 north to 238 to jump over to 580. Keep that in mind if youre making your way. We move down 880 into the south bay. Right now a jury is deliberating the sentence for Antolin Garcia torres. The man convicted of killing sierra lamar. Alex savidge with more on the difficult decision the jury is facing, alex. Reporter it certainly will be a tough one. Good afternoon to both of you. This jury must decide if if sierra la mars killer deserves the ultimate punishment. One legal analyst i talked to this morning said this process could take quite a bit of time. Earlier this morning jurors began deliberating the fate of Antolin Garciatorres. They are trying to figure out if it he deserves a life sentence without parole or the death penalty. These jurors are going to have to make sure they have no doubts at all before they make this very tough decision. This is not a complicated factual question, but its a very complex moral question that this jury has to decide. Garciatorres was convicted of kidnapping and murder. The 15yearold disappeared five years ago on her way to school. Prosecutors say that her disappear, the fact that her body was never recovered points to the heinous nature of this crime. Defense attorneys say that Garcia Torres shouldnt be put to death if theres no body. What the defense is trying to suggest and what this jury has to think about is does garciatorres deserve societys ultimate sanction. They put together a lot of evidence about his background, his family life and all of those factors have gone in to what this jury must consider when theyre handing out this verdict. If this jury returns a death verdict for garciatorres, the judge can still decide instead to give hip a life sentence. The judge, she has the ultimate say here. Judges typically give quite a bit of weight to a jurys decision during the penalty phase of a trial. We should also point out if this jury cannot reach a unanimous decision on whether to give him a life sentence or the death penalty, then in that case he would be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The first day of deliberations underway in san jose. Happening right now in the east bay, air quality officials are considering new regulations to limit emissions from bay area oil refineries.

Exit the Paris Climate Accord. Allie rasmus joining us live to explain the impact much leaving this agreement. Reporter if it the u. S. Pulls out of the Paris Climate Accord, it would make us just one of three un member nations left out of this international agreement. The other two nations that never signed on were syria and nicaragua. They thought the agreement wasnt tough enough when everyone signed it two years ago. The agreement was signed by president obama back in it 2015. It committed the u. S. And 195 other nations to reducing Carbon Emissions by 25 to 28 over the next decade. The goal, to fight Global Warming and Climate Change worldwide. On the campaign trail last year, then candidate trump pledged to exit that agreement citing complaints from people in the coal and fossil fuel industries. Now sources close to the president say he plans to fulfill that promise. So what would it mean for the u. S. . Our environment and our economy. We asked that question. He says the Paris Climate Accord has its flaws. Many environmental groups say it was too weak to begin with because there was no enforcement. But leaving the pact the u. S. Risks losing its leadership and credibility abroad. For the u. S. To back away from even that weak initial step will send a negative signal that the u. S. Does not intend to take seriously the threat of Climate Change which the vast, vast majority of scientists agree is very real. Other economists have warned that leaving the paris accord does not mean jobs in the coal industry will be coming back. That industry has been on the deline can for years. Mostly because of the cheaper cost of producing natural gas and changes in technology. Reportedly the president s own secretary of state Rex Tillerson supports remaining in if the paris accord. He is supposed to meet with tillerson to discuss the issue. The man you see there is mr. Trumps epa administrator. He supports the idea of withdrawing from the paris accord. Even the president s advisors appear to be at odds over whether the u. S. Should stay or leave this Climate Change agreement. Mr. Trump said via a tweet he will announce a final decision later this week. President trump has been giving his cell phone number to World Leaders.

Im just now seeing the reaction of these images. I crossed the line. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. Griffin says its her latest mistake but likely wont be her last. The u. S.

A couple westbound lanes blocked. Traffic heading into the city just crawling through the toll plaza area. Its very backed up into the lower east shore even on to 880. Well bring in allie rasmus now.

First we want to go back to that shot from sky fox over the scene. This is on the westbound direction of 80. The bay bridge. The western span. Theres a couple lanes blocked. They have been blocked for the last two hours. Thats because according to chp a mans car broke down in that area of the bridge, westbound direction. The mans car broke down. The tow truck arrived. He proceeded to get out of hides vehicle and climbed up on to the Center Anchorage of the western span of the bridge. That man still sitting about 25 feet above the roadway on that Center Anchorage. Officers in this picture. A lot of emergency vehicles there. Weve been told theres San Francisco police boats and coast guard boats on the bay directly below this area. While all this is unfolding. Negotiators are talking to the man who is apparently distraught. Theyre trying to get him to come down. They have the two lanes closed there and traffic is at a crawl because of it. Look at the bay bridge toll plaza. This is typically what we see in the middle of the morning commute. Probably worse than what wed see on a bad day. Traffic barely inching along. The backup extends all the way out. 580 in oakland and 480 as well. East shore freeway camera. Lets see if it i can pull that up there. To get to the mcarthur maze, according to the traffic sensors will take you an hour. Thats also not typically for this time of day. 12 30 in the afternoon, usually you should be breezing through there. East shore freeway backed up. All the way up to albany. Close to where 580 and 80 meet in the richmond area. Thats a wider look at the traffic maps there too manying in you can see a lot of the red on the left hand side of the screen just past treasure island. Thats where the lanes, theyve had that lane reduction because of that man sittingen that Center Anchorage. Taking a closer look. The backup extending into oakland. Well past 34th street and highway 24 there. So chp says that they are going to be out there negotiating with the man until theyre able to resolve this issue. Because of that traffic is really backing up throughout the east bay and on the western span of the bay bridge. But the good news here is that this is traditionally the noncommute direction. Again, heading into the city is where youre encountering the lane reduction and some of these problems. Hour or two from now well start the afternoon commute and all the folks leaving San Francisco because of the way the bridge is, theyre not going to be able to see some of the commotion happening on the upper level of the bridge. It shouldnt impact traffic in the traditional afternoon commute direction. All this happening on the western span of the bay bridge. Back to you guys. Thank you. Should mention there is a gianted game tonight at at t ballpark. So a lot of giant fans live in the east bay.

Well stay on top of it should the situation become resolved and were not on the air, well bring it to you on ktvu. Com. Well move to a story thats going to happen in just about 30 minutes. We do expect to hear from jasmine ab uslin. She is expected to join her attorney to speak out about the nearly 1 million settlement approved last night by the oakland city council. Jana katsuyama has the story. Reporter the citys settlement comes as oakland struggles to regain the communitys trust and faith in the Police Department. 19yearold Jasmine Abuslin says she was a former teen prostitute. She initially said shed had sex with as many as 30 bay area Law Enforcement officers who instead of helping her exploited her. Some while she was 16 and still a minor. She claimed that Oakland Police chief at the time knew about the abuse and did nothing. He later resigned. And the city removed several Police Officers promising reform. Her Attorney Says the claim onlially was filed for 66 million by her previous legal team. He says after extensive negotiations he recommends she take the settlement. She can put this behind her because it was quite emotional and traumatic event to be involved with the Oakland Police officers. She was sent to a florida Rehab Facility last august for heroin addiction but returned to testify in court. For them to commit those actions are absolutely irresponsible and they should be paying for that action and not the city taxpayers. Criminal activity happened under the watch of the city of oakland and you know, whatever jasmine gets, more power to her in that way. Yeah the taxpayers have to pay for that. I think thats why its important we have proper oversight. There are still four other claims of exploitation by officers in richmond, livermore, San Francisco and alameda county. The oakland City Attorney noted there are felony charges against current and former Oakland Police officers for sex with a minor, obstruction of justice and prostitution.

Students at three Elementary Schools are going to have to deal with a problem until at least next year. The affected schools theyre in the allen rock school district. They have class until june 15th. Teachers say that it was built in 1961 and the building has never had airconditioning. During the warmer months students can get overheated. During the winter some students actually wear gloves to keep their hands warm during class. The district says it has modernized 19 of its 24 schools a enthat two more are going to be worked on this summer. The money for that comes from two bond measures. Teachers say instead of creating a Good Environment for Young Students to learn, some of that money has gone to building multipurpose rooms at the middle schools. The district defends that decision. If you look at the bonds that we put out and what we asked of the community. That was part of what the Community Asked for. They wanted newer facilities, they wanted competitive facilities where kids would be able to access top of the line education. Young students could be better prepared if they had an easier time learning in elementary school. Meantime, teachers hope the cool weather continues until school lets out in two weeks. In the north bay, despite resistance the novado school board approved a plan to install lights at the football field. Hundreds of parents and students packed into a gym for a school board meeting.

Reporter rock fish and other valuable fisheries are also suffering. Scientists say if if the urchins arent knocked back naturally by a predator or a disease, human intervention may be needed.
