KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am August 1, 2017

Lets talk to Steve Paulson who has the forecast for this first day of august. Yeah. I caught a fish this big once. I have temperatures this far apart. Really. Yeah. We have fog for some. Not as much as yesterday. There it is. The Sales Force Tower coming out of the fog. Today it is lower and thicker. Not as much but working its way around parts of the bay, san pablo bay. The coast and the city wont be that bad. You dont have to go far to find hot temps. Heat advisories are out. Diablo range and Santa Cruz Mountains and inland temps out to the valley as well. Southern california l. A. Freeway rain came over from palm springs. Most of this is lifting north. Possibility some of that could work its way into the forecast tomorrow. I would think mainly south of the Santa Clara Valley. Ill deal with that tomorrow. Ukiah will be near 110 today. We will see upper 90s to near 100 around here. Mostly sunny tonight for the giants and the as. 72 a little westerly breeze. 50s to almost 70. Some areas running cooler, peninsula. Some areas running warmer. 51 in glenn helen. Look at the bodega gay, 48. Point reyes, 49. Around the sierra, thunderstorms pop up. Again theres the Southern California cloud cover and some of the rain. This is kind of taking a turn. We will watch that for late tonight and tomorrow. 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and inland 100. Do you want to start with the bay bridge or something else. Were starting with the approaches to that. Okay. This is pretty busy time. People are getting on the road. I want people to know this is actually the quiet time before we get into the fall traffic pattern. We have another few weeks or so. 26 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze. May seem slow to you, but, no about a month or two from now youre going to wish for the 26 minute delays because school hasnt started for a lot of people. I know it started for some. I know youre out there. For the most part, schools are not in. At the bay bridge, traffic is obviously very heavy getting on to the bridge. And getting across into San Francisco. So it is very crowded. This is about a 25 to 30minute delay before you actually even make it on to the span. This is a look at interstate 880. It is not very slow drive here in front of the Oakland Coliseum. A little bit farther down though we have slow traffic somebody on 880. Weve had a couple of earlier issues. It is going to be slow as you drive here in hayward. If youre driving to fremont and into san jose, it hasnt been that bad. Were seeing slow traffic. Northbound traffic will be okay through milpitas. 7 04. Back to the desk. An audit released by the city Comptrollers Office says the cash system on cable cars makes it easy for conductors to create fraud. Reporter they are recommending that muni cable cars switch to a cash free fare system. If youre going to ride the cable car, now is the time to do it. There is only a handful of people waiting in line to get on board. Later this morning, the line for the cable car ride will easily go down to the middle of the block. Going to a cash free system may be a burden on the many tourists who ride the cable cars. According to an audit by the Comptrollers Office says the current fare system costs muni lots of money. They did an audit late last year and cable car conductors were be collecting money from everyone. Out of 30 times, people were asked to pay the fare half of the time. A cable car operator wanted to remain anonymous. But he says it is tough to get to everyone who hops on board and collects a fare. Youre not going to get everybody. You there are people who know how to get on and off before you get to them. You try to get everyone. You have to be safe first. So you have to be in your position to put the brakes on and to take care of that aspect of the cable car. So youre going to miss some. Reporter now, the audit also found that the cash fare system makes it vulnerable to theft by the cable car cannot ductors. This year, two were charged with embezzlement, pocketing money from passengers paying in cash. One pocketed almost 32,000. The audit recommends that the cable cars switch to a cash free system or at least install fare boxes and require passengers to pass through them. Muni Officials Say a fare box wouldnt work because of the way that the cable cars are designed. It would change the function and the layout and the way that the cable cars work. Back out here live on powell street, the line is getting a little longer. Definitely tourists in line waiting to hop on board. As for the two cable car operator whos were charged with embezzlement earlier this year, their next Court Appearance is scheduled for later this month. Back to you guys. All right. Allie rasmus in San Francisco. Thank you. The time is 7 06. It did not take long for President Trumps new chief of staff to make his mark. After being sworn in, he started cleaning out. Caroline shively reports from washington. Reporter President Trump described john kellys first day as chief of staff as a great day at the white house. What does he do for day two. Sit down with legislative liaisons and sit down and put a strategy together. Reporter like the retired marine he is, he has established the chain of command. Even ivanka trump and Jared Kushner must go through him to get to the president. Scaramucci will report to anyone. He recommended firing scaramucci after his expletive rant to a reporter made head lines. He felt that it was inappropriate for a person in that position and he didnt want to burden general kelly also with that line of succession. Reporter his biggest fan appears to be matt won hired him. I predict that general kelly will go down in terms of the position of chief of staff one of the great ever. Reporter Trump Supporters are hoping that kelly can also improve relations with congress. Most recently marked with ham handed attempts to push senators into a yes vote on health care. I dont want to talk about tweeting or anything else. I want donald trump to lead the Republican Party to take power and money out of washington when it comes to obamacare. Another controversy for kelly, the Washington Post reports it was the president himself who dictated the misleading statement coming from his son after meeting with a russian lawyer during the campaign. The time is now 7 08. Early tomorrow morning, the u. S. Will test fire a missile from van denberg air force base. It will be an unarmed ballistic missile, the fourth launch this had year from the military base. One missile in february flew to an area between hawaii and the philippines. Officials are testing the effectiveness and accuracy of the system. The u. S. Is responding to north koreas missile tests in recent months. San Francisco Police are investigating a bizarre attack on a woman in the tenderloin sunday night. Investigators say the woman was sitting on the sidewalk on mason street when a man in his 20s approached her and poured bleach on her face. She was taken to the hospital and suffering from life threatening injuries. Even if she survives, she is likely to be blind. Police dont have a motive for attack and have not released a description of the suspect. Anyone who saw what happened is urged to call san Francisco Police. This is the first tuesday in august. That means it is time for the annual National Night out celebration. Communities around the bay area and all over the country are Holding Events where people get to know each other better. The police often drop by, introduce themselves and answer questions. In some cities there are block parties with barbecues and kids bounce houses and Face Painting and a lot more. The idea started in 1984 as a way to prevent crime by having the police and residents get to know each other better. So here is our question of the day for you. Are you participating in National Night out . Yes or no . Let us know what you think. Vote on the ktvu twitter page or ktvu. Com. And you can also comment on our ktvu facebook page. The time is 7 10. We have new video to show you released by police in novato showing a group of robbers, look here, smashing a jewelry display case at a costco store. Christien kafton, youre in novato with more on the investigation and the police are also they want to know if these are serial robbers. Reporter yeah. Dave, were going to talk about the other cases in just a minute. You said it, the video really surprising. That video taken here at the novato costco store. You can see some of the cameras here. At this point in time, investigators are still looking for the suspects. You can see that police hoping that these cameras will take the video that will lead eventually to somebody recognizing those suspects and hoping that they can lead them to the thieves. Now, Novato Police released the video last night. It shows the robbers rushing into the store through the exit door, making their way to the jewelry display case. All of this happened around 10 10 sunday morning, just after the store opened. They wore hoodies and surgical masks and smashed the display case with a hammer. The robbery very quick. Taking 30 seconds from entry to escape. The suspects ran outside to a dark colored sedan, similar to a chevy sonic with dealer paper plates. People here are hoping that the video leads to arrests. We have to take that really seriously. There were kids in there when it happened or could have been because its the summer. And we could have or someone could have gotten out when they were running out or they could have had guns. It doesnt matter. It is just violence that we dont need here. Reporter this is just the latest robbery fitting the mo. Robbers took down a costco in june. In that case, the suspects also wore masks and took off with jewelry after breaking the cases. In may, thieves pulled off two similar heists in costco in danville, firing a round from a gun. One of the suspects in that robbery was arrested. Now police are looking to see if there is a possibility that all of these robberies at costcos around the bay area could possibly be connected. Were hoping to talk with Novato Police about that as the morning progresses. Back to you, dave. Thank you, christien kafton. Up next, Campbell Police are responding to a video that went viral on facebook. In a moment we will show you why an officer pulled out his gun during a traffic stop. Also Governor Brown takes the air right out of a bill. Why he says a law against helium balloons went too far. The time is 7 15. This morning, the marin county board of supervisors will take a step towards resolving the flooding problem on highway 37, the highway that connects vallejo and novato. It was closed for several days during the rainy season this winter and spring. It could cost 3 billion to elevate that section of highway. The marin county of supervisors will vote on a partial tax to finance the road. Another option under consideration is having drivers pay a toll, one that could be as high as 8. Governor brown vetoed a bill that would have made it a crime to release helium balloons. It would have made it illegal to release the balloons made of milar or any conductive material. That can cause Power Outages or surges if the balloons hit power lines. While the governor knows theres a problem, he says criminal penals are not the solution to every problem. Lets help get you out the door. A lot of people look at the bay bridge as an idea of what is going on everywhere. This summer, we didnt have any breaks. Gasia and everyone watching knows that school is almost back in. You know, by the end of august, beginning of september, most School Districts are in. Some are in now. I know this. So i dont have to tell me, hey, im going to school now. I know some, for example, are already in class. But this is a look at the east shore freeway. 27 minutes. Remember that time because in about a month from now, it will probably be double that as everyone gets back on the road. The bay bridge seems pretty crowded. It is crowded getting on to the span. This is about a 25, maybe a 30 minute delay depending which line youre in before you make it on to the span. This is a look at interstate 880 north and southbound. Continues a terribly slow commute. And just gives me a chance to remind you about the giants and the as again tonight at the coliseum. The best way to get there is using bart, in my humble opinion. This is a look at 880 a little farther down the line. Southbound traffic is going to be a little slow through union city. We had an accident in the northbound direction but it seems to be affecting traffic southbound as well. 7 17. Lets bring in steve with todays forecast. Thank you, sal. What we are looking watt here is a little bit of patchy fog, thick bore some. No help whatsoever for a few incompetent land as temperatures get very warm. We had a bigger fog bank yesterday. Some of that, though, on the coast, parts of the bay, parts of the city, there are plenty of breaks. It will burn off sooner. It is setting the stage for a huge difference in temps. Some inland it will be really hot for a few, especially north and i think also east. Leanne says hi, sp. Happy fogust here in san frag. It is august 1st for everyone else. I get it. 68 53 in the city. That is my forecast. Doug low. The low has been 53 so far. 98 in 1993, the record high. 48 in 1943 was a record low. Heat advisories not in the city. Not on the coast. For higher elevations, some to the north, south, inland for sure goes through wednesday. What is going on in Southern California . Palm springs, now it is in l. A. And it is moving north. Thats moisture. Monsoon moisture coming over from arizona. They get august 1st rain. Not fogust for that. Some heading south to the Santa Clara Valley tomorrow. Keep an eye on it. Ukiah will be near 110 today. Clearlake, 107. Not that hot today but there will be a few low 100s. Tonight mostly sunny for the giants and the as. Almost 70 in brentwood. 60s for some. 50s for others. Half moon bay, 52. Santa rosa is 53. A little cooler there. 50sand 60s already. 60 already in danville. Dublin, pleasanton, 61. Vallejo, 58. Temperatures will be very warm up there near clearlake. If youre heading towards l. A. And thinking it will be hot and humid, no, cloud cover and the rain on that. And, again, that is lifting northward, along with the dying system coming from the west southwest. That may spin in high and mid level clouds. Circling the wagons there. Not today but late tonight. Fog near the coast equals 60s and 70s inland. And then 90s to 100s, gasia, for some. Again, another 40degree spread on some of the temps today. Tomorrow, slightly cooler. Thank you, steve. The time is 7 20. If a 13hour flight delay wasnt bad enough, an airport worker is accused of punching a passenger. More on what happened at a french airport. Leaked information shows that apple is working on something big. Reports of an upgrade for the next iphone. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Our time is 7 23. Police in campbell now responding to a video that went viral showing a Motorcycle Police officer pointing a gun at a man during a traffic spot in hollister. Why are you pointing the gun at me, bro . Do not move. Why are you still pointing the gun at me. Do not move right now. Why are you still pointing the gun at me, bro . My hands are right here. I understand that. No, you dont understand. Youve still got the [censor] gun pointed alternate me, bro. Relax. Im not going to relax. Get the gun off me. The driver was stopped for speeding on highway 101 last wednesday. He recorded this video, posted it on facebook. The driver and the passenger spent several minutes looking for paperwork. The Police Officer told them to stay in their car as he headed back to his motorcycle to write a ticket. Now, Authorities Say the passenger suddenly reached beneath the seat causing that officer to pull out his gun because he felt threatened. Now, Campbell Police told ktvu we understand that it is never a comfortable position to have a gun pointed at you regardless of whether it is a Police Officer. If this same situation would have occurred closer to backup officers, it would most likely have been resolved sooner. Were told that the driver and passenger were issued citations. An incident at a french airport is drawing international attention. This photo at the airport in france is going viral. Take a look at the righthand side. You will see an airport worker punching a man in the face. That man, by the way, is holding a baby. This comes after passengers had been delayed 13 hours. Passengers were complaining to the gate agency there. Is video of the man shoving the gate agency and then this photo posted on twitter shows the workers reaction. The gate agent is not an Airline Employee but it is investigating the incident. Our time is 7 25. What will it take for you to upgrade your phone . We do have early details of what is coming to the new iphone. We will take an active congress on that. Yeah. The dow also breaking through records today. Pam cook is back with all of this in pod todays money business. The question is not for gasia. For the rest of you. Everything on the upside here as a new record for the dow. The dow, nasdaq and s p 500 posted their best month for july since february. Good news overseas this morning has august off to a good start as well. China reports strong factory activity giving investors optimism that the Global Economy can carry this into the second half of the year. The dow jones setting new record highs this morning.
