KTVU Mornings On 2 September 6, 2013

The challenges of this moment as well as those in the days ahead. So with that let me take questions. Hopefully in time for you guys to file back home. That indicates some of the additional countries that are making public statements. Last night we had a good discussion, and i want to give president putin credit that he facilitated i think a polarring of views on the issue. Heres how i would describe it, without giving the details or betraying the confidence of those who were speaking within the confines of the dinner. It was unanimous that chemical weapons were used, a unanimous conclusion that chemical weapons were used in syria and the norm has to be maintained. That these weapons were banned for a reason and that the International Community has to take those norms seriously. I would say that the majority of the room is comfortable with our conclusion that assad, the Assad Government was responsible for their use. Obviously this is disputed by president putin, but if you polled the leaders last night, i am confident that you would get a majority who said it is most likely, we are pretty confident that the assad regime used them. Where there is a division has to do with the United Nations. There are a number of countries that just as a matter of principle believe that if military action is to be taken, it needs to go through the un Security Council. There are others and i put myself in this camp as somebody whos a strong supporter of the United Nations who very much appreciates the courage of the investigators who have gone in and looks forward to seeing the un report, because i think we should try to get more information, not less in this situation. It is my view and a view that was shared by a number of people in the room that given Security Council paralysis on this issue, if we are serious about up holding a ban on chemical weapons use and an International Response is required and that will not come through Security Council action, and thats where i think the division comes from. And i respect those who are concerned about setting precedence of action outside of un Security Council resolution. I would greatly prefer working through multilateral channels and through the United Nations to gethis done. But ultimately, what i believe in even more deeply because i think that the security of the world and my particular task looking up out for the National Security of the United States requires that when theres a breach this brazen of a norm this important and the International Community is paralyzed and frozen and doesnt act, then that norm begins to unravel. And if that norm unravels. You have been listening live to president Obama Holding a News Conference at the g20 summit in st. Petersburg russia. He has been speaking out about why he feels a military strike on syria is necessary because the syrians governments use of chemical weapons against its own people. Kyla campbell will be monitoring the press conference and what happened when president obama met with Vladimir Putin, just about an hour ago. Well have more right here on mornings on 2. Complete bay area News Coverage starts right now. This is ktvu mornings on 2. We are listening to the president talking about syria, but we are looking live at a scene, a major fire in a car lot in martinez. Firefighters face obstacles before they can get close enough to fight this fire. Well have more in homes. Im brian flores. Im tory campbell. Dave clark is off. Its going to be heating up steve. Thats correct, we have much cooler lows. Theres a lot of low 50s, mid 50s. And clear skies, hardly any breeze whatsoever. Temperatures will start off cool and warm up pretty fast. Even San Francisco, im going 78 for a high. A patchy low clouds around and also monoterra, but pacifica, clear skies and now, things can change, but overall its looking warm to hot inland. The coast looks like theyre going to warm up, especially warm towards santa cruz. Patchy fog, 5 to 10 degrees. Its not going to be record setting heat. It will be warmer than we have seen for a while. 70s, 80s around the bay. 90s inland. Steve, good morning, we are looking at the bay bridge. Traffic is backed up at the toll plaza. We had an earlier stalled vehicle and they pushed it to the side. Something thats new. Looking at 880 north and southbound, the traffic is moving well. The raiders do not play here. Theyre playing away. You dont have to worry about coliseum traffic. 580 westbound, to the dublin gray you can see traffic moving along slowly once you get to castro valley. At 7 07, lets go back to the desk. Developing news of a spectacular fire in martinez. Flames engulfed a used car lot on peach tree. We are at the scene with a possible cause of the large fire. Reporter good morning, yes, we have better access to show you just the damage left behind by this fire on this side, you have all these cars that you can see were gutted by the flames. This was a building that was used to rehab wholesale cars and then they were sold to dealerships, thats why you have so many cars here. I want to take you around to this side of the building. If we can walk around here, we can show you whats inside this door over here because this was office space in here, and then in the far back was the residence. There was a man who rented a living space back there and fire investigators just told me it appears the fire did start back there, possibly in a kitchen area. There was a report that someone was cooking around the time this fire started. So that is being looked at as a possible cause of this fire. Let me show you what the fire looked like when it was really going. At 3 15 this morning, this is what firefighters saw when they got on scene. 3 4 of this building up in flames. They had some trouble getting close because of downed power lines but very difficult. They didnt want to put firefighters in any danger. The people inside the building when the fire started a man and woman were able to get out safely. There is no need to go in there to make any kind of rescues, but they did have to take a somewhat defensive position outside the building until pg e could come and town off the power and they could turn off the power, and power was turned off shortly after there and they had most out by 5 this morning. Now, in terms of what happens next, weve talked to the owners this morning. They say they bought this building about a year ago. Totally redid it. It was supposed to be eventually used as a used car lot, and then partially used as residential. Now theyre not sure whats going to happen from here. But again, the new information at this hour is that it does not look like this is suspicious in any way. It looks like this could have been a kitchen fire. As you can see, a big mess left behind, as you take a look back here at the damage. One thing i did want to mention is theres a fire station just about a half block up from where we are, but its a fire station that was closed because of budgets cuts. Firefighters tell me the that delayed the Response Time by two to three minutes. One of the impacts youre seeing because of fire station closures is that it did take them two to three minutes longer to get here when they got the first call. Its 7 10. This fire at a recycling plant in stockton could burn for days. The fire began around midnight east of downtown at weber avenue and its burning a large pile of card board, paper and wood. Firefighters say the burning pile of recyclables is about 60 feet deep and they cannot get water to the center of it. I cant put enough water on it to pen strait penetrate that material. I may be able to darken it down and send anybody home, but by the time we picked up the hose, it would be going again. Its sending smoke across nearby highways 4 and 99. Firefighters say they have it under control and can keep it for spreading but they may be fighting flames into the weekend. New this morning, a messy car crash sent several people to the hospital and causes a water main to break in the south bay. We are live from the scene where an Elementary School nearby is now without water. Reporter the School District is working to restore the water at terrell elementary. They are hoping to do that in the next several hours. You are looking at broken pains, the water main that a car crashed into. Police will be investigating who is at fault and why some people ran away after this happened. Police say at around 3 00 a. M. , this car transporter was traveling southbound on pearl avenue near clarkson when it turned into the school and clipped a lincoln town car. It hit a water main and the driver of the transport were not injured. Three people were inside the lincoln and police say some of them went running. One person remained with the car. One person went into the neighborhood here, to the east, and one person went into the school. We found the two people that had fled the scene and all three people are currently at a local hospital. Reporter this is video of one of the men that police found who appears to have been hiding in the bushing near the school. He was laying on the ground and he was injured. He and the two other people who were with him are suffering from moderate to minor injuries. Police are investigating whether to call the accident a hitandrun because theyre trying to determine who the driver was and if that person was the one who actually stayed at the scene and didnt try to run. The School District is bringing in portapotties. I have been told they are bringing in bottled water for drinking. Theyre estimating that this damage caused to the water main is going to take around 5 hours to fix, but, again, they insist that school will be opening up 8 00 a. M. Today. Reporting live from san jose. 7 13. President obama is still talking in a News Conference from the g20 summit in russia. And the president once again is calling for military action in syria. Kyla campbell reports from our washington d. C. News room. The president says hell dress the American Public on tuesday. He says he needs to make the case to the American People and the International Community to use military strikes against syria. Hes talking in russia, were going to take a live listen in. I knew this was going to be a heavy lift. Our polling operations are pretty good. I tend to have a pretty good sense of what current popular opinion is, and for the American People who have been through over a decade of war now with enormous sacrifice in blood and treasure, any hint of further military entanglements in the middle east are going to be viewed with suspicion and that suspicion will probably be Even Stronger in my party than in the republican party. And as weve heard president obama say again, no boots on the ground in syria. It would be military strikes. Hes trying to get people on board with that. We also learned that president obama met with russian president Vladimir Putin today. Putin says the conversation lasted 20 or 30 minutes. They disagree on things but their conversation was constructive. The white house confirmed the meeting between president obama and putin but did not provide details about what they talked about. President obama says International Leaders are on board with the military strike and many want to wait for the United Nations to release the findings of its investigation in syria. We are learning more today about the military action the u. S. Could take in syria. Ill be working on that story for you at 8 15. Live in washington, Kyla Campbell.

There are reports that the administers is now considering using military aircraft in addition to cruise missiles to attack targets in syria. Members of congress are getting an earful from constituents who do not support u. S. Military action in syria. This is video of senator john mccain back home in arizona yesterday at a town hall meeting. People there lashed out at mccain for his support of a vehicle on syria. Die an feinstein believes people would have a different opinion if they had seen the evidence of chemical weapons that were used that she has seen. Theres no question whats coming in is overwhelmingly negative. Theres no question about that. And they dont know what i know. They want heard what i heard. Now, there is also word today that the Obama Administration is considering deploying u. S. Military trainers to help increase the capabilities of the syrian rebels. Any training would take place outside of syria. Possibly in jordan. And news this morning that russia has been sending warships to the sea for possible evacuation of russian citizens from syria. Increased naval presence have increased fears about a larger International Conflict if the United States makes air strikes. President obama has canceled a trip to california on monday, so he can stay in washington, and authorize the military strike on syria. The president was scheduled to speak at an aflcio conference in los angeles and attend a democratic fundraiser. Its 7 17. We want to check in with sal, and see whats happening on the south bay.

The traffic is going to be slow here from downtown milpitas area all the way into a zanker road and 101. We have been looking at the commute on interstate 880 in oakland, and yes, the raiders arent playing. Jennifer says the as are plague this weekend and she is right about that. The as are plague, but theres playing, but theres something about raiders crowd. The traffic is moving along as you drive past castro valley, with no major delays. A little bit slow on 880. You see the sensors from haywood to union city to fremont heading south. Lets go to steve. Under mostly clear skies, this is a nice shot, photo journal viscid from the Elementary School bank from the embarcadero. And theres really not a lot. Hardly any breeze. No breeze here and im hard pressed to find one. Calm conditions and warmer temperatures. A little bit of patchy fog. I think its running into resistance. The weekend looks warm to hot. Not go to last too long. Warm early next week. Then well turn cooler again. Ill show you that coming up shortly. More low 50s or mid50s. San jose 55. Santa rosa 51. Dense fog near monoterra.
