KPIX KPIX 5 News Early Edition November 12, 2014

Its the first time china has committed to cap carbon emissions. As for the u. S. , mr. Obama announced a goal for the year 2025 and under that plan, u. S. Emissions would be cut by 26 to 28 below levels recorded in 2005. Good thing we have traffic and weather to hear that story. You needed to know whats going on in china its going to be interesting the next few days. We are going to see showers return as early as this evening. The whole pattern may switch to a wet pattern which is great news. Off the coastline there is a storm system headed in our direction so the clouds will be thickening up throughout the day today. Temperatures will be cooler only in the 60s probably even low 60s toward the coastline. And then this evening, a chance of a couple of raindrops. Now, because those clouds are holding the temperatures up fairly mild in some spots 59 in livermore and oakland and 60 in San Francisco. This afternoon mostly cloudy skies. Holding off on the rain just yet. Temperatures in the 60s. But this evening, liz, maybe a little wet and maybe a little bit wet for the commute tomorrow morning. And its dry now. We already have some interesting traffic on the road. Whats interesting is what this big rig was hauling just kind of very timely overturned frozen turkey truck and its all happening in san ramon right now. It is launching an offramp. Well have live video of the scene coming up. In the meantime use that Bollinger Canyon offramp instead. They say alcosta will be closed until 6 30. Its carrying thousands of pounds of turkeys. The main lines of the freeway are not affected. If you just use an alternate offramp you should have no trouble. They are not on the freeway . No. Its once you get off on the offramp on alcosta itself but its taking at least four hours. It happened around 2 30 this morning. A little bit of holiday cheer. Yeah. Thank you. It must be very difficult to land a spacecraft but to land it on something moving at 41,000 miles an hour has to be tricky. That would be quite the parking job. European space agency is making an attempt. Its happening right now. Heres kpix 5s kiet do to explain whats about to happen. Kiet. Take it away. Reporter we want to take you to a live feed of a camera located inside Mission Control in germany. It is a tense situation as goes back and forth between nail biting and cheers. The scientists are celebrating every milestone. Yes whoo reporter all righty. A lot of relief this morning as the unmanned rosetta probe released a lander thats now headed to a rendezvous with a fastmoving comet. If all goeses to planned it will be the first if all goes as planned it will be the first time a craft landed on a comet. This started 10 years ago. Now that this washing machine sized lander has been released its making the final 7hour trip. The landing is a delicate process. The comets gravity is 100,000 times weaker than earth and would bounce off if you didnt do anything. They have a thruster to move it to the surface and harpoons and other things to lock it down. Reporter the probe traveled 4 billion miles to reach the target thats just two miles wide. If it lands safely it will begin collecting data the scientists hope will give alleged clues to the origin of the universe. Right now they should be getting word that the probe will land safely sometime around 8 00 our time. Kiet, its Something Like out of a movie. Cant the scientists just steer the probe to a flat landing spot . Reporter yeah, you know, you would think it would be that easy but it is so far away that every time they execute a command, it takes 28 minutes for that signal just to reach the probe so its impossible to do it in realtime. Right now this thing is in autopilot and they have their fingers crossed. Hopefully everything will go okay. Well get word in a few hours. Live in san jose, kiet do, kpix 5. Incredible. Well, we have a developing story from the east bay. The search for a killer. A driver ran down a child last night and just kept going. Kpix 5s anne makovec has details now. She is live in san leandro. Anne. Reporter yeah. Behind me, the beginning of a memorial for a 14yearold boy who was hit and killed while he was riding his scooter through the crosswalk here behind me. And we have learned that he was a freshman at san leandro high school. Heres a map of where im standing right now. It is at east 14th and ashland avenue in unincorporated Alameda County near san leandro. This boy was hit during a police chase that began with a car driving recklessly at around 6 p. M. Alameda county sheriffs deputies tried to pull that car over. It sped up on east 14th street hitting the boy and several witnesses saw it happen. As soon as i see him fly, i ran over to try to help him out. But there was not much i could do. I called 911 as soon as i got to where he was at. The car kept going. And the sheriffs officer that was right behind the car also kept going. Reporter officers tried to catch up with the driver after the accident but he got away and is still on the loose this morning. So officers are revealing reviewing surveillance tape from around this area trying to get some sort of description of this vehicle. They also say they are working several leads. Right now near san leandro, anne makevoc, kpix 5. The deputies by the way involved in the chase are now on administrative leave. A suspected burglar is dead after being shot by police in menlo park.

Well, fema has disaster survivor assistance teams in the bay area to help people who had losses in the south napa earthquake. The teams are canvassing affected areas in napa county and have set up shop near vallejo city hall. They will be there monday through friday until further notice. Bring a jacket east. Things are cold and hazardous in the rockies upper midwest as an early season storm brings a lot of snow and ice. At least four deaths already in minnesota linked to accidents on icy roads there. Among the areas hardest hit, michigans Upper Peninsula where over 2 feet of snow have fallen there. Crazy the rest of the midwest and the eastern u. S. Can expect this kind of weather a little later this week. Doesnt it make you happy youre here . Oh, yeah. Were talking snow here so that means people will be hitting the slopes in the bay area. Our Roberta Gonzales reports. Reporter good morning. Yes, we are officially just days away from the opening of ski season. So we came to novato. When you talk skiing you talk old town sports. Roger goodwin, good morning. Good morning. How long have you owned this shop . 35 years. Reporter how have things changed in the skiing industry in the past 30, 40 years . Skiing is more fun, easier to do. The technology and equipment have evolved such that skiers can get into the sport and learn in a very short period of time. That makes it rewarding and you want to go back. So in that respect, technology has helped us immensely. Reporter what are you looking forward to this winter season. Lots of snow. The last few years have been a little soft. We have been paying a lot of attention to larrys forecast so we can stay on top of whats about to come. We hope he is right about all this water coming our way prior to thanksgiving and on. So we need a good ski season. The ski industry really needs it. Reporter he is generally spot on. So tell me, how are the clothing changing this year . Theres not a lot of changes other than a few, you know, tempered color changes. Going back to more basic tones. Mostly with clothing its about staying warm and comfortable. The whole idea is to stay dry. Reporter it looks like more tapered, too. Absolutely. The baggy style has gone away. The fitted look is certainly more in vogue so we are seeing that both in men and women, both ways. So its a little more fashionable. It shows off the figure and the fitness of athletes a little bit bet. Reporter all right. So if you want to talk fashion, you want to talk snowboarding, you want to talk skiing, you want to talk old town sports, we have hooked you up with kpix. Com and go to links and numbers. Reporting from novato this morning, Roberta Gonzales, kpix 5. Thank you. Did you see the jacket you liked . I did on the slopes you want to be fashionable even on the slopes you know what . The fashion goes out. Its about comfort and just staying warm. Honest to god. But you have to look good. Yeah, well. Right, elizabeth . You have never skied with me apparently. I worked in the midwest for years and i never got an appropriate coat because i always wanted to look cute for live shots oh, well. [ laughter ] san ramon, they are off loading fuel and frozen turkeys from this overturned turkey truck and its going to take a while to clear it, it may be later than 6 30. Fortunately its not causing delays so far on the main lines of the freeway. So were talking southbound 680 at alcosta boulevard. The offramp remains closed so you can get by. Get off at the Bollinger Canyon road exit before you hit alcosta but in the meantime we know that the driver of the big rig was hurt. Minor injuries. 6 30 or later it will be cleared. They are starting to offload the turkeys, then they have to right the truck and get the tow crews out there. So alcosta will be out of commission for a while. Westbound 580 a few slowdowns between hacienda and 680. 19 minutes between the Altamont Pass and 680. We know this is a backtowork commute for some people around the bay area. They had yesterday off for veterans day so were watching the bay bridge. It was so quiet yesterday. They turned off the metering lights before the commute really wrapped up. So heres a live look at the backtowork commute now. You can see everything is moving okay so far in all lanes heading into San Francisco from the east bay. Speaking of the east bay, a live look up and down the nimitz 880 in oakland, they picked up that roadwork in san leandro both directions overnight approaching davis. So it looks like the roads are dry for now. But things are changing. Lets check your forecast with lawrence. Yeah. I think i its not going to be turkeys tomorrow morning, liz. Its going to be raindrops youre going to be worried about. Showers as early as this evening. Out the door we have a lot of clouds now. And you can see that swirl of clouds off the coastline. Thats the storm system that will likely bring some showers to the bay area a little bit later on today. But most of the day looking okay. Sure, plenty of clouds now but kind of a mild start to the day. Temperatures in the 50s and the 60s. And then as we head into the evening showers starting in the north bay and moving to the south. Then looks like we may see a series of storms coming our way as we head into next week. That would be some welcome news. Right now though High Pressure out ahead of the system will keep things fairly dry and then this begins to move onshore later on in the afternoon and evening hours. Boy, talking about cold temperatures around the country. How about this in denver today . A forecast of 5 degrees. Unbelievable hey, michelle is going to have a great time there. [ laughter ] temperatures around the bay area are going to stay rather mild today in some spots inland but here we go. As we get into the evening hours, look at about 10 00 or so starting to see pockets of moderate rainfall, heavier amounts of rainfall sweeping on through the bay area into early tomorrow morning. Not the biggest storm we have ever seen but rainfall totals not bad maybe about a half inch of rain in some of the wetter spots in the north bay, santa rosa clicking up to half inch there. 39 if were lucky in San Francisco. And Santa Cruz Mountains could get a soaking. Mainly in the 60s. Next couple of days rain this evening and showers ending early tomorrow morning. And then i think by thursday afternoon probably even in the middle of the day we are done with the rain and will dry out with some partial clearing. Dry on friday and saturday. But then next week still looks very promising. Some rain expected now on tuesday. Maybe a series of storms after that for at least the next seven to 10 days. You might have to buy two mock turtlenecks. Mix it up. I might be wearing them all next week. Wear a black one and then a bright green one. [ laughter ] we just stumbled on to something that very, very few people if anybody has ever seen, a hammerhead well, a group of guys spear fishing off the Southern California coast near ventura had a rare encounter with a hammerhead shark. What they did next makes this one of a kind. Two decided to put bait in the water and then jump in they say the eightfootlong hammerhead got more aggressive and tried to bite and after a few minutes, the men were able to get back on the boat. That was not the smartist idea we have ever had. Well, hello . doh . Experts say hammerhead sightings are rare but because of a developing el nino more are swimming up from baja. Its a shark later today, they are skydiving without parachutes. [ laughter ] hello. It is 5 20. It is the 2014 version of the tupperware part with a bit of a twist. Guys have been doing it for years. The postwork event popular with women in the bay area. Well explain. And im dennis odonnell. Coming up, one 49ers star is back while another is gone for the year. And the warriors test their mettle against the defending nba champion. Tipoff coming up. And this mornings jobs report, Steven Greenberg says the key to getting hired may be thinking small. Reporter the Unsung Heroes of our economy are the creators of Small Businesses. The founders of facebook and twitter get lots of attention. But its the owners of companies with fewer than 500 workers that have generated two out of every three new jobs this century. They employ more than half of all private sector workers. In california, the latest figures show there are nearly 685,000 Small Businesses that employ more than 6. 3 million workers. The job seekers tend to focus on a larger more well known companies. Thats understandable. But targeting smaller businesses throughout the bay area can dramatically improve your chances of success. Start by identifying 10 Small Businesses within commuting distance of your home. Target the ones that may need someone with your skills. Visit your local chamber of Commerce Website for a list of businesses in your area. Approach the employers that are active in your community, advertising and sponsoring local events. They are likely the ones that are doing well and may soon be hiring.
