We are looking at the east shore freeway, a pretty decent commute from the carquinez bridge to the martinez maze. 18 minutes to get to the martinez bridge to the maze carquinez bridge to the maze. Chp is not reporting any problems on the bridge or on the dumbarton bridge heading to the peninsula and you can see for yourself as we look at the bridges and the peninsula, traffic is a little bit slow. When you get on the other side of the san mateo bridge i want to mention that westbound 92 at foster city boulevard they are clearing an accident on the shoulder that could be causing some slowing. Even though the crash is not on the bridge it could affect you. If you use the san mateo bridge give yourself an extra 10 to 15 minutes. It is 6 03 am. Strong disagreement about the President Trump decision to ban the transgender from serving in the military. Hundreds rallied in San Francisco last night to protest the ban, and Christien Kafton joining us from the Castro District which was the starting point for the march and i imagine people are still out there and very upset today. Reporter people will still want to voice their opinion about the issue. Hundreds gathered right here in the castro and made their way down to the city hall voicing their opposition to the President Trump policy. Mayor ed lee tweeting out a photo of city hall eliminated with blue, pink and white stripes. The president tweeted the announcement yesterday morning saying in part that our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical cost and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Does that serve in our military deserve the respect and gratitude of our nation and our president. Though i may be against the war i will support every soldier that comes home and make sure they have healthcare. Reporter they will have to figure out how to implement the President Trump policy and the Travis Air Force base has about a dozen transgender and releasing a statement, we will continue to work with the department of defense to see what it will look like with new guidelines coming from our commander in chief. Some servicemembers agree with the guidelines. I totally agree with him. I dont know how they went to changing the gender from dont ask, dont tell. That is not what our country is about. Reporter the pentagon does not keep track of transgender personnel so it is unclear how many Service Personnel this will impact. According to the u. S. News world report they estimate between 29 and 129 servicepeople seek gender reassignment and that could impact their ability to deploy which could cost between 2. 48. 4 million dollars. In the meantime arizona senator john mccain ahead of the Senate Armed Services committee is criticizing the president s ban on transgender soldier saying that the department of defense is already decided to allow currently serving transgender individuals to stay in the military and many are serving honorably today. Any and american that meets the current standard should allowed to serve. Kamala harris tweeting it is discriminatory and unamerican. We should honor the courage of americans that volunteer to sacrifice for our nation and not turn them away. For the second time california has refused to turn over information on the california voters to the President Trump Commission Investigating allegations of voter fraud and they sent a letter to the california secretary of state asking for the voter names, addresses, voter history and party affiliation. The commission is asked all 50 states for that information and at least 16 other states refuse saying that it would violate voter privacy. The President Trump formed the commission after claiming millions voted illegally and the 2016 election. Lawmakers in dc say that the senate is ready to impose new sanctions on russia and the house passed the measure on tuesday and the senate is expected to schedule a vote sometime this week. The white house says that President Trump is not yet decided whether to sign the bill and the legislation is aimed at punishing russia for the annexation of crania from ukraine in 2014 and for interfering in the Russian Election president ial election. Russia calls this sanction an extremely on friendly unfriendly act and threatening retaliation.

Caroline shively has more from washington. Reporter after the efforts to repeal obama care failed republicans are likely turning to the skinny repeal bill. It is disappointing to me but we will have to keep the process moving or we will be stuck with this mess of obamacare. Reporter the skinny repeal would get rid of the impossible employer and individual insurance mandates passed in the original obamacare legislation. The primary goal first is to give People Freedom over their own healthcare choices again. Reporter critics say the mandates are removed that the young and healthy will drop coverage leaving behind the old and sicker americans that could destabilize the insurance market, raise premiums and increase the number of uninsured by millions. Democrats will be here fighting force long as it takes to be back the shameful healthcare bills. We hear the american people. We hear you, we are on your side, and we will never give up. Reporter Senate Democrats are refusing to even offer amendments. We have to see it first, and we ought to see it soon in broad daylight. That was Caroline Shively reporting. The group of 10 republican and democratic governors want to republicans and democrats to Work Together on the healthcare and so far the idea is not getting off the ground. Happening today the California Supreme Court is expected to release a decision that could have major invocations on the highspeed rail project and it could exempt the bullet train from the key environmental review. Justices are considering whether rail lines owner funded by the state are subject to the california or to federal environmental laws.

Two men broke into the hall where the journalism is located and two described as in their 20s, hispanic, one with a goatee in the other had black shiny pants with a distinctive print and zippers on the side. Coming up, the one time passenger in japan fighting wildfires in california and we will show you what this Global Supertanker can do and it does not come without the red tape. Inmates escaped from a prison and then released a video of them doing it, and we will show you what happened next.

The largest wildfire in california is growing but the fire crews are moving faster. The debt wire filer Detwiler Fire is now 70 contain in that is 5 increase from yesterday. No more homes have been destroyed but over 1000 buildings remain in danger if the fire picks up speed again. Firefighters can get help from a new tool that has become available in california. This is the 747 jet converted into a firefighting supertanker and appropriately enough called the spirit of john your muir and it can be used strategically against the biggest fires because it does not have to drop everything in one place at one time. We use the example of the super soaker, you fill it up with water and pump it a few times if you want it to spray a little bit and you add more pressure to it which is basically what we can do. The fire returning drops are controlled from the cockpit and no one is in the back were the seats once were but there are a few seats and bumps on the plane so the second group firefighting pilots can rest on the next trip to the fire and be ready to go when they arrive.

The tsa is expanding new screening procedures for Electronic Devices on domestic planes and passengers going through the regular, standard or tsa lines at the airport will have to remove from their baggage all electronics bigger than a cell phone and put them in a separate bin to be xrayed. There are similar rules for some International Travelers and this comes after the recent intelligence reports suggest that terrace found new ways to hide explosives inside the electronics. Some travelers say will make air travel more difficult and other say it is safety that should come first. So long as they dont look into our stuff and go into our devices, i think that is the line. I think it will slow things down some more. It will make it slower and harder to get through, especially on the holidays. The tighter security has been tested at 10 airports around the country including la and boston. It will be phased in at all u. S. Airports in the coming months and the new rules will not apply to people that have signed up already for the tsa precheck program. It is 6 16 am.
