Kpix 5s Christian Hartnett is live in berkeley to explain what will change after last nights vote. Good morning, christian. Reporter people packed the meeting last night to voice opinions. And after a lot of discussion the decision was made to tighten up inspections on balconies on all properties in berkeley, rather, so a tragedy like this wont happen again. The city Council Passed the new inspection laws unanimously. Other regulations will still need to be decided upon such as the use of steel reinforcement in all balconies constructed in berkeley. And the next six months, all balconies and weather exposed elements on all Berkeley Properties will be inspected. A followup inspection will happen every three years after that. The proposal initially called for the followup inspection to happen every five years. But an attorney representing one of the students killed in the collapse argued it needed to happen much more frequently. The reason why the inspection rule is so important is because if there is a new design or new materials being proposed, it will catch something early on. Reporter also included in the City Council Decision is the requirement of the existing balconies and all weather exposed elements to have proper ventilation to prevent dry rot. The city council estimates that this affects about 6,000 properties in the city. At this point, the council says it doesnt have the money, doesnt have the resources to complete these inspections. The initial inspections within six months. At this point no solution for that. Live in berkeley Christian Hartnett, kpix 5. Police in richmond are investigating multiple shootings that left one man dead and four others injured. The first happened about 5 p. M. Last night in front of the Monterey Pines apartments on burke avenue. Police found one dead and a teenager critically injured. An hour later another shooting down the street. Three people were hurt there. Not sure if the shootings are connected. Two years after a man was killed by an officer in southern california, a judge has ordered Gardena Police to release video from the incident. Reporter it was june 2013 when Gardena Police stopped people as they investigated reports of a bike robbery. In the video you see the man in black in a halt. The companions had their hands up but you see the other man moving. At one point he takes off his hat and appears to hold his hand out. He is then shot and killed. We are freezing the video. The zeffirino family Attorney Says he was unarmed and trying to explain to police that they didnt commit the crime. But prosecutors declined to charge the officers involved. However, the city settled a civil suit brought by the family for 4. 7 million. We showed the video first posted to the l. A. Times to legal analyst steve meister. There are lots and lots of thanks go into appropriately judging an incident like this. The videotape is only one aspect of many. Reporter since the shooting, Gardena Police say they have implemented new training to slow down fast moving events and also released a statement that reads in part, we continue to sympathize with the families and regret their loss. We have serious privacy concerns as it relates to the release of Police Videos in general. We worry about the implications of this decision and its impact on victims and average citizens recorded by the police. It is 4 38 now. Police are searching for a prowler in palo alto. A woman living on the 200 block of emerson street woke up to the sound of a scratch at her bedroom window yesterday morning. When she looked outside there was a man looking at her. He ran off. Police say this could be the same man who snuck into a backyard a couple of miles away on moffett circle last week. In that case a 14yearold girl saw him and called 911. Today the public will get its first look at the bodyworn cameras to be tested by San Jose Police officers. The Pilot Program is expected to begin by the end of the month. A few different kinds of cameras will be tested. And president obama expected to answer questions today on the historic Nuclear Accord iran r under the new agreement iran would freeze the bulk of its Nuclear Program for a decade and some of the sanctions against the country would be lifted. Republican critics accuse the Obama Administration of making too many concessions. This appears to fall well short of the goal we thought was trying to be achieved which was that iran would not be a nuclear state. Will have 60 Days Congress will have 60 days to review the deal. The president will veto any legislation opposing the deal. A teenager survived a plane crash and two days in the wilderness. Her father says reality tv helped her. Whats cool about your school .

We are getting a look inside the tunnel a mexican druglord used to escape from prison.

He is now on the run. Movie to be sure. Soon. San jose police want you to watch this video to see if you can identify the armed robber. A man walks into the nothing but cakes bakery on aborn road. He demand money. The clerk handed over what they had. This happened last month but police just released the video. The robbery was less than a minute. Search crews have found wreckage in Northern Washington state where a 16yearold girl survived a small plane crash. But they have not been able to get close enough to positively identify the aircraft. Autumn veatch says her step grandparents died in a crash last weekend. The teen had minor injuries. She hiked out of the rugged area. Her father said she learned survival skills from tv programs.

An accident eastbound 80 at Treasure Island over at the bay bridge, it did briefly shut down some lanes. Bridge crews cleared it up quickly and traffic is okay approaching the bay bridge on both side of the span. So the toll plaza is looking okay with an 18minute drive time between the carquinez bridge to the maze in oakland. If you plan on making the Richmond San Rafael bridge commute, its quiet. Theres virtually nobody out there for that westbound 580 drive with traffic up to 53 Miles Per Hour in some spots. The golden gate commute is okay with no delays for the southbound direction approaching the brandnew doyle drive. Thats a look at kcbs traffic. Back to you guys. Thank you.
