Look at it or maybe not. Its normal. Well see slow traffic around the corner now. Here we are at 6 00 or 6 01 to be more precise. We have slowing around the toll plaza. Youll see the traffic is going to be backed up as you get onto bridge. No major problems into San Francisco. But there is waiting to do. Its a normal morning.

The order mobilizes the States Office of Emergency Services to the effected areas and it directs the department of transportation to seek federal relief for damaged roads. Yes was governor browns third request for federal disaster help.

I want to take you to live pictures we have on the ground of the work thats going on this morning. The heavily saturated soil gave way causing rocks and trees to come down the hill and that is blocking sir francis boulevard near baywood canyon road. County work crews have been out there all morning trying to clear debris from the road. But were learning that even after things are cleaned up, the road could remain closed again for much longer. Thats because theres a concern about more mud coming down the hill. Crews say they are going to be taking down a number of trees in the area of this slide and theres going to be theyre going to spend the rest of the day keeping an eye on that hillside to make sure the earth is not continuing to move, but the wordy got from one of the folks who is on the ground is that potentially they could keep sir Francis Drake boulevard closed for the rest of the day. Anyone who drives this this area want to find another way to get between west marin and san 6 04 is the time. Three families in pleasanton are on the verge of losing their home. The land is eroding away. In the four or five weeks, i have lost 20 feet. They lost 40 feet and it will keep going because theres nothing to protect. What used to be a slope is now a cliff. One neighbors Swimming Pool just a few feet from the edge of that cliff. The homeowners blame development and a lack of maintenance by the city and county for the rapid erosion of their backyards. The nearby aroya creek is swallowing up the land and photos shows how the creek has widened to 2200 yards and is carving an sshape turn so instead of flowing passed their property, its slamming straight into them. We would be in our home at night when its raining hard and we could hear things go and the whole house would shake. And it has been quite traumatic for us over the years and now we know its right in our backyard. The homeowners are also worried that creek erosion could collapse the land underneath the tracks for the 8th commuter train. Multiple agencies are examining that erosion issue. Theres a meeting next wednesday night when the local water agency that receives Flood Control is expected to make a decision on showing up the cliff and redirecting the creek. Time is now 6 05.

Wikileaks released documents that show how the cia acquired Cyber Weapons that could break into smartphones. Now, Cyber Security experts in meant low park says this shouldnt be ignored. They believe anything connected to the internet is hackable and its a rude awakening call. Yes, anything thats connected to the internet is hackable. Its something that can be compromised and youve got to be mindful of where you want your devices placed in your home. Its clear now that security whether its loading a piece of software or an employee that hasnt been properly trained on security, we have to collectively make sure were investing the right amount in securing both our infrastructure as well as how we protect and secure our data. The fbi is now trying to determine how wikileaks got these hacking tools. Reporter doug zater has more from washington. Reporter this is this is released by wikileaks suggesting it was released by someone in the cia or someone who worked with the cia. Either way, some of these documents are fascinating and even disturbing. What new tools are at the cias disposal. How about smartphones; connected appliances and self db driving cars could be turned into surveillance devices according to new data released by wikileaks. Theyre tapping into cars, theyre tapping into the home tvs and theyre tapping into every die vice you would carry that has a battery. Im not going to comment on that. White house president sean spicer didnt want to touch the new allegations, but others are saying plenty about what this could mean for the cia. When you lose those capability which you will when your adversaries discover what youre doing, its a compromise and damaging. The leaks shows the spy agency has the ability to hack and then shift the blame to other governments including russia. For the rest of us, real questions about what we can do to stop either intelligence agencies or other hackers from listening in. And in the case of new smart samsung tvs with built in microphones, the abilities described in the weeky leaks documents are profound. They can turn it on remotely, but it wouldnt put the power light on, so anybody in that room would then be discussing or talking and being monitored without their knowledge or consent. Its a great spy utility. Thats what theyre doing which theres no reason why we wouldnt believe that. At the one of the controversial elements of this if hes documents are accurate is the cia never alerted the smart Device Manufacturers about these vulnerable. Dubbing fromolunteer doug the white house is over a showdown over fuel economy. Coming up next, what President Trump is expected to do and what this may mean for future car sales. A glimpse into the future for a bay area park. Coming up, well see the 1 Million Investment for san jose. Except for a little fog and high clouds, were set and ready to go for warmer temperatures and more sunshine today. Well take a look at those temps, coming up. Welcome back. We are following a developing story out of afghanistan this morning where more than 30 people are dead after an attack today on a Military Hospital in cabo.

One witness says the gunman opened fire on everyone including patients and doctors. More than 50 people were wounded. Isis claimed responsibility for the attack. Our time is 6 13. President trump has offered to keep federal funding for planned parenthood if planned parenthood stops providing abortions. Now the group is responding saying, theyre not willing to make a deal. The organization gets about 500 million every year in federal funding, but planned parenthoods vicepresident says none of that money pays for abortions services. I didnt really hear a deal exactly. I heard a disaster for Womens Health care and i also heard a white house thats very, very concerned about taking away birth control, stds testing and Cancer Screening from millions of women in this country who dont have anywhere else to get those services. According to their own annual report, planned parenthood saw 2. 5 million clients in 2015. Thats down from 3. 1 million in 2006. Now that the Republican Leadership has unveiled its plan to replace the Affordable Care act, its getting feedback from across the board. The House Committee will start fine tuning that plan, but theres a sticking point. So far the Congressional Budget Office has not said how much this plan would cost. You really need that cbo score to talk about how many people will lose coverage and what it will cost. These parties dont want to talk to you about a way for it. Some republicans are pretty angry. They say the proposal doesnt repeal entire entitlements. They say no western country has developed National Health country and later redeveloped it. Critics says the loss of federal subsidies and cut backs in medicaid could cause people in california to lose Health Insurance. 1. 2 Million People are enrolled in covered california. The state Health Insurance exchange for the Affordable Care act. 3. 7 million more have signed up for medical. It was expanded under the act. Health care supporters says the change on the subsidies to a tax credit could make it harder for many to afford coverage. To the extent this will reduce the number of people with coverage, the reference of us will be in a smaller and sicker insurance pool which means premiums would rise as a result. Now the aarp has criticized the new Health Care Bill saying it would dramatic increase Health Care Cost for Older Americans and weaken medicare. The Government Health care for senior citizens. Some time this week the Trumps Administration is going to announce its rolling back fuelling under president obama, the epa cars had to have a fuel economy of 55 miles per gallon by 2025.

We can see the traffic at the macarthur maze is busy. Its getting busier at the toll plaza.

I want to bring up as we go to steve here, and i think put it on the map here, htrain is delayed so i can show you that the pass traffic may be a little bit heavier because atrain is number one and number three are delayed because of a track inspection in the pleasant ton area in the pleasanton area. Lets go down to steve with todays forecast. Sal, the flashing excuse me, theres construction, cleanup. It was it was a little bit of construction, that yellow, but thats off to side. However, steve, since you ask, if youre right there, you talk about that and thats not affecting traffic as you can see. But in this area right here, let me just put a circle on it, there is theyre inspecting the track for the ace train as it comes through and thats why its late. All aboard it might be later for h htrain. I appreciate you explaining that to me. We have mostly clear skies and fog dancing around. Might there be fog near the golden gate look at that. South of the marin. Thank you. [applause] right around the bin there in south in south solido, i dont think we have fog. Patchy fog and mostly sunny and warmer. In fact, some upper 60s to near 70 degrees and it looks like 70s for many as we head into thursday and friday. Maybe just on the coast. Maybe not.

Northwest napa at 38. Glen alan, palo alto thats bombe for them compared to when they were 25, 26. Easterly breeze coming in. Not strong, but a component. Bringing fog back we have fog in the mix, but once that burns off, were all right. 20s in lake tahoe. 21 at the lake tahoe airport. Higher clouds visiting southern california, also up extreme north. Everything is set at the sunshine and warmer temps. If youre heading to spring training, it has been nice on the desert, but now were starting to warmup.

We want to show you what has been happening in missouri. The governor there declared a state of emergency after tornados destroyed nearly 500 homes monday night. This drone footage. This is in oak grove, missouri, just about 30 minutes east of the kansas city. That system reportedly carried winds peaking up 152 milesperhour. No reports of any fatalities, but about 20 people were injured. We want to show you this mornings headline from the kansas city star.

Last night a Jewish Community center in Portland Oregon was evacuated because of an email saying there was a bomb on the campus. Nothing was found. There were bomb threats yesterday against Jewish Community centers in at least six states from oregon to new york. There had been about 100 similar threats against Jewish Community centers and hebrew schools since the beginning of the year. Meantime in washington, dc, all 100 us. Senators signed a letter urging President Trump to take action. I think its a sad state that our country is in, in general that security has to be a concern, not just for the Jewish Community, but different groups, nobody should have to have this type of security just to have a normal function. The fbi says its investigating all this, along with the Justice Department civic rights. Some believe the threatening calls are coming from overseas.
