KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am April 25, 2017

Partly cloudy. Upper 50s, mid50s. A breeze out of the west northwest. If we can get the ridge of High Pressure to build over there, it would take it north and out of the picture. Thats not the case right now. Everything is heading northward. You see the line moving northward. Thats the ridge. Once it topples over, it will dig over there and clear us out. Not until thursday probably. 50s on the temps. We had a lot of 40s most of the morning. More sun to the south. A few soft 70 degree temps. You see the cloud cover, a lot upstream on its way. 7 01, sal. What is on your screen that you want to get to right away. Were looking at the east shore and the approach to the bay bridge. We had a minor crash on the bridge that cleared quickly. Not as much damage the other day when we had a couple incidents. 36 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze is something to deal with driving out to the macarthur maze. No major problems at the bay brimming but waiting at the toll plaza. Were looking at the peninsula. The traffic here is okay. If redriving on the san mateo bridge over to the peninsula, it looks okay. The slowest traffic is in Contra Costa County. And then on 680 from concord to walnut creek, no crashes but we have slow traffic this morning as is the usual case. It is not lighter than usual. It is slow by the way in alamo heading down to danville, heading south on interstate 680 this morning. 7 02. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. This morning were talking about this. Bart is increasing patrols at some bart stations after a mob of teenagers stormed a bart car over the weekend. They robbed passengers. It all happened within seconds. Ktvus Christien Kafton is at the coliseum bart station in oakland to tell us what bart riders are saying. Reporter yeah. Commuters still learning about that robbery this morning. And this morning we can tell you folks coming and going from the turn styles, this is the exact area where they hopped the turn styles and up the escalators up to the train platform. It happened saturday night at 9 30. Witnesses tell police that the teens demanded cell phones, wallets and purses from the passengers inside. That whole robly took about 30 seconds, with the Group Getting on and off the train before the doors could closed. The moment that the doors opened, they jumped on board and committed 7 robberies. Six on the train car itself. One on the platform. Reporter two passengers were punched in the face and treated for head injuries. Commuters this morning are on high alert. When im on the train, im an alert. Im on alert. My phone is in my pocket. My eyes is watching. You never know when you might have to get away or get down or something. Police say there have been no reports that the attacker used guns or any other weapons. Bart is using Surveillance Video to try to identify the suspects and is working with Oakland Police, oakland unified schools and Oakland Housing Authority to try to find the teens. Bart says there were Police Officers at the station at the time of the problem re. The officers reportedly in the parking lot area. They rushed up to the platform as quickly as possible but, again, all of this unfolded so quickly, in just about 30 seconds. By the time they reached the area, the robbers had already gotten away. Christien kafton at the coliseum bart station. Thank you. Well, this morning our question of the day is this what is your biggest concern when it comes to bart . Is it safety . Is it cleanliness . Is it reliability . Or maybe its nothing because you dont ride bart. Let us know what you think by voting on the ktvu twitter page or ktvu. Com or comment on our ktvu finish page. The Program Director at the boys and girls clubs in petaluma and marin have been arrested on suspicion. He was arrested yesterday at his home. He is accused of posting photos of i 6yearold girl from his after School Program in an internet chat room where images are shared of child pornography. He has also posted the girls name, address and phone number in that chat room. Police say therm contacted by the department of Homeland Security that tracked him through his internet ip address. Uc berkeley is preparing for protests if ann coulter speaks on the campus later this week. There were protests when Milo Yiannopoulos tried to speak last february. Coulters speech was canceled saying that they could not guarantee security for the event. They wanted to move it to may 2nd for safety reasons and not censorship. Coulter says she will be there on thursday as scheduled. Because of what happened with Milo Yiannopoulos, i feel it would be very dangerous. But because of the free speech movement, the atmosphere that we like to promote, it wouldnt be fair to bar her from coming. The more respect from people speaking on the campus, the more detrimental it will be in the long run. Cal is being sued saying that free speech rights were vie rated when they moved the date of the speech. Coulter talked to Frank Mallicoat about the controversy. She is more committed than ever to speak on thursday. Im still planning to give my speech. Now i dont have to provide abide by the restrictions. I can give it at a normal time when students are available. And i suppose i guess it could be from a mega phone from sprawl hall but i plan on giving my speech. We saw what happened when Milo Yiannopoulos came to cal. There was violence. They were throwing paint on people. And they ended up canceling the speech because they were concerned about safety. Chances are when you come up on thursday, its going to turn into a circus. There will be protesters. There could be violence. Your thoughts on that. Im not even milo. Im a 12time New York Times best selling author. I would guess that the administration is well on notice that this can happen and the Berkeley Police are well on notice. So i assume they will take appropriate action. And you can see more of franks one on one interview with ann coulter by going to the ktvu youtube page. The time is 7 07. It looks Like Congress. It looks Like Congress is finding a way to prevent a Government Shutdown this weekend. President trump is now backing off from insisting that money to build a border wall between mexico be included in the Government Spending bill. Democrats say they would not approve a bill that approved funding for the wall. There may be funding included for resources to increase border security. Democrats have been long clear that the border wall is a nonstarter. The wall is a big metaphor. I think if donald trump can get something in that government funding bill, about board security, he can claim victory and the democrats can say they didnt vote to fund the wall. This morning President Trump tweeted about funding for the wall saying dont let the fake media tell you i changed my position not the wall. It will get built. Travelers arriving at sfo the next couple of weekends, you may have problems. The airport is repaving its second longest runway. The work is done friday night through early monday morning from now until the middle of june. Now, last weekend, that caused more than 200 flights to be canceled.

We got to have a great start. You know, it felt good to be out there with the team. We did a great job of putting ourselves in a great position with the opportunity to move on to the next round. The way that we showed up in the 1st quarter said a lot about our mindset and focus. Well, steph curry showed up. 37 points before he sat out the entire final quarter. He made 7 threepointers. The warriors get to rest up now. The time is 7 10. A new report says money from californias new gas tax may not be enough to fix the states roads. Coming up at 7 30, the extra options that could make up the shortfall. Millions of lgbt videos blocked on youtube. What the video says caused the glitch. Were driving on 680 here southbound heading down the grade. It is not looking too bad heading south into fremont. Well, driving on the old weather highway shows mostly cloudy skies. At least some of the low clouds have cleared out. Not sup eyet. vo love. I got it. I gotcha baby. vo its being there when youre needed most. Love is knowing. Hes the one. vo . It was meant to be.

Nasdaq 6,021. The nasdaq has gone up above 6,000 for the first time. The s p is up as well. President trump plans to unveil his Budget Proposal tomorrow. He incompetent cysts lower the Corporate Tax rate may be part of that budget. President had made cutting the Corporate Tax from 35 to 15 one of his most prominent campaign promises. He has not discussed it publicly since taking office. But a tax cut that big would make it difficult to balance the budget. Its not clear if that would apply to Small Businesses as well as corporations but the 15 tax rate is lower than what House Republicans had proposed. Youtube apologizing after reportedly blocking lgbt content on its site. Users is a at this was happening in the restricted mode which is intended to help block content unsuitable for children. But uploaders say their videos were getting blocked when there was nothing wrong with them. Youtube restored 12 million videos related to the lgbt topics.

We have one of our drivers on 680 southbound getting into the Silicon Valley here. 680 approaching calaveres road in milpitas. Basically making the drive down in one of our news vans on southbound 680 with a fixed camera. Nobody is holding the camera to be safe. The driver has two hands on the wheel and the seat belt on. This fixed camera showing us the traffic on 680 southbound as we drive into the Silicon Valley. Not a bad commute. Some people stay on 680 until it turns into 280 in san jose. And the 280 when you get there is also looking good. As a matter of fact, we can transition to 280 in san jose. Oops. I forgot to tell the dies to put it in. There is two two below there. Traffic is moving along pretty well. If youre driving on 101, it has been good. So this week has been a little peculiar. Some commutes look full strength.

Let me ask you a question, do you notice it in certain parts of the bay area, east bay, peninsula . I dont know. Im just asking you.
