Girls, because we have Claudine Wong on the 9. A california girl if ever there was one. The pride of benicia, if you will. So sal and mike enjoying a day off. Alex savidge here as well. I will try to find a berkeley song for you. Thanks for joining us this morning on the 9. A lot happening and we are going to start in San Francisco. A Police Standoff is now in its 20th hour. Officers have surrounded a man on miramar avenue. These are live pictures of the situation. You see the area is cordoned off with police tape. A number of Police Vehicles there. Police tell us the suspect stole an Electronic Device at a park. The victim followed him to the home. This started yesterday at 1 30 in the afternoon. Officers say they are waiting him out, and they do believe the man may be mentally ill. We are told he is believed to be in his late 20s, maybe early 30s. Police say they believe there are no hostages, but they are not sure if the man is armed. At in point a negotiator is still talking to the man, trying to talk him into surrendering peacefully of course. We will stay on it. And in the meantime, we have that big wildfire up north of the bay area. Firefighting efforts continuing near lake barryessa. They are kicking into high gear now. Right. We are talking about the cold fire. Its burned through 4700 acres since tuesday. Ktvus Christien Kafton is up there. He has moved near the fire lines. We are hearing that air support could be moving in any minute, which could be great news for that firefight. Reporter yeah, absolutely. Thats one of the keys they say to this, is getting that air support, because this is such a rugged and difficult to get to kind of terrain. Lets give you a live look at the fire here. We are on the south side of lake barryessa. You can see the fire there burning on the north side of lake barryessa. We watched that fire burning along that ridge line this morning. We did hear an air survey team. We saw an air survey team in a helicopter over the scene a little earlier this morning. We are waiting. We heard a tanker earlier. We are waiting for the first tankers to drop some retardant on this area here, again on the north side of lake barryessa. So yesterday, of course, there were gusty winds in the afternoon and that really pushed this fire to the current 4700 acres estimate. Steep dry terrain is making it tough for crews to get in and effectively control this fire. There is good news for residents in the area at the golden bear estates. The Evacuation Order there was lifted about an hour ago. Residents now allowed to go back home now that the fire has burned past that home. There were about 35 homes. About 100 people in all affected by that order. Meanwhile, there is still a standing Evacuation Order for the Canyon Creek Campground area, which is really, really close to the fire line. Now, as of yesterday we saw some residents, some campers who were still in that area. That area is a staging site for calfire. So some of those folks camping in that area say to me, told me that they felt perfectly safe because they felt since there was so many calfire firefighters in that area they felt comfortable being in that area. The strategy for today, heres what we understand, that they are going to try to keep that fire isolated to the north side of highway 128. They are going to try to keep it to the north side of lake barryessa to the more remote area. There is fewer residents, fewer homes in that area. They are going to try to keep it away from the areas. The unpredictable element the weather. Yesterday high winds pushed this fire. It did something called slopping, which is spotting over different areas where the fire is not burning. They are trying to prevent that from happening today. As we are speaking just now i could hear a tanker in the distance. Perhaps they are getting the tankers to lay down retardant and keep this fire retained. At this point 4700 acres. 15 contained. All right. Thanks for that update. Our thoughts with the firefighters on the fire line today. Well, a group of volunteers is helping the Sheriffs Office patrol the area around the soberanes fire near big sur. They are called the sheriffs Emergency Assistance team. They help the Sheriffs Office respond to any largescale disasters or events. We can prevent traffic control, road closure systems as well as patrolling the areas where there have been evacuations or damage from the fire to keep looters out and just protect the property. Well, the Sheriffs Office says the volunteers are helpful as an extra set of eyes and ears to help patrol a large area. The soberanes fire has burned 47,000 acres. A street in Mountain View is cleared of parked cars as a new effort jets underway over concerns about People Living in their vehicles near a city park. The owners of motorhomes, cars, vans and trucks were told to move from this street. Some of those people say they feel like they are being targeted here because of an increase in crime near the park. Now, this morning we talked to one person living in his vehicle. He says police told him they just wanted to street sweep in the area. He says the people who are living in their cars and motorhomes there are not what he describes as the run of the mill homeless. There must be anywhere from 45 to 60 motorhomes, and they also have, like i said, women and children. They have people that go to work every day. They have new trucks and new motorhomes. Signs posted along that street say there is no parking from 6 a. M. To 3 30 p. M. Now, we still havent heard from police on whether this is a sweep. We are following new developments in a knife attack that happened in london. We are learning the woman killed in that attack in london was an american. Also, that an american was among the five people hurt in the attack. Police are at the scene this morning in Russell Square. Its an area popular with tourists and close to many london landmarks. Police have the suspected attacker in custody. He is 19 years old and the attack appears to have been triggered by Mental Health issues. Listen as a man describes what he saw at the scene, i was coming back from the center a quarter past 11 and i approached the corner of Russell Square i encountered heavily armed policemen. There was walltowall police and police vans and wagons. British authorities havent released of information about the American Woman killed in the attack. At this point only saying she was in her 60s. There are reports of an intervention in the works by republican insiders to try and refocus Donald Trumps president ial campaign. Reportedly, the rnc chairman and former House SpeakerNewt Gingrich are trying to persuade trump to focus on campaigning against Hillary Clinton. They are concerned over trumps recent feud with the family of a muslimamerican soldier and his refusal to endorse House Speaker paul ryan in his primary next week. Trump is still behaving as though it was the primaries and there were 17 candidates. He has not made the transition to being the potential president of the united states, which is a much tougher league. Well, there is a new fox news poll showing trump now trailing Hillary Clinton by 10 points. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton campaigned in colorado yesterday. She detailed her jobs plan, which she says includes the biggest investment in infrastructure since world war ii. She says these days infrastructure is more than bridges and roads. She says the countrys electric grid needs to be updated to distribute Renewable Energy across the u. S. And making sure that every community has Broadband Internet access. Several airlines are changing their refund policies when it comes to travel to areas affected by the zika virus. The cdc is warning people not to travel to those affected areas. Miami now is on that list after a dozen infections were reported in a nearby area. Airlines such as american, jetblue, southwest and Alaska Airlines are issuing flexible flight plans. They are offering potential flight changes over even refunds. Some travelers say they arent ready to change their plans. If i had plans to go to florida, i would take more precautions. Wear bug spray. Be safe. The dates vary on when travelers have to meet deadlines to make the changes without facing penalties. Travelers are being advised to check with their individual carriers for making any changes. The zika virus has been a concern. One of many for several people heading to the summer olympics in rio. In addition to the threat of a terror attack, crime, water quality, zika, our question of the day to you is this. If you got a free ticket to go to the Olympic Games in rio today, would you go despite all these concerns . Of course, opening ceremonies are tomorrow. A number of responses on twitter. I will read two opposing ones. The coleman management says free trip to brazil . I am for sure going. I am not having babies anytime soon and ill drink bottled coke. David lopez says, nope, i will watch it on tv. Hard to resist the free tickets. I have a couple. Doug said i would go. No chance of getting pregnant. If youre a guy not as much of an issue unless your significant other or you are worried about bringing it back. Nicole said probably not. Interesting during the u. S. Womens soccer game, hope solo put instagram posts about the bug spray she is bringing. They were chanting zika, zika, zika during the game. It didnt bother her. Certainly, its an issue. Right. We saw a number of american golfers pull out over concerns over zika. Quite a few athletes. We love you for repeating and using our ktvuthe9 when you talk with us about our question of the day. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, shocking allegations ahead of the opening ceremonies against u. S. A. Gymnastics. What one newspaper uncovered involving the alleged sexual abuse of underaged gymnasts by coaches all over the country. Plus, its a good deed gone bad.

Visit att. Com accessnow to learn more. A little up. Now back on the up side. The dow jones is on the plus side, but boy, ever so slightly. 06. Still its green. The story is similar on the s p, nasdaq. Gang a quarter of 1 right now. Stunning allegations against the u. S. A. Gymnastics group on the eve of the Olympic Games. In an exclusive investigative report published today, the Indianapolis Star reports that main governing body behind the sport in the u. S. Did little to investigate numerous claims of coaches across the country sexually abusing underaged gymnasts. Records indicate that complaints were made against as many as 50 coaches. The star uncovered four cases in which u. S. A. Gymnastics received warnings about four coaches, but did not report them to police. And the coaches went on to abuse, says the paper, at least 14 underaged gymnasts. The paper claims u. S. A. Gymnastics routinely dismissed allegations as here say unless they came directly from a victim or victims parent allegedly because they were worried about damaging the reputation of the coaches in question. The star also reports this approach is likely illegal, since every state in the country has laws that require people to report suspected sexual abuse of minors to police. And u. S. A. Gymnastics issued this statement in response to that report. It says, quote, addressing issues of Sexual Misconduct has been important to u. S. A. Gymnastics for many years, and the organization is committed to promoting a safe environment for the athletes. U. S. A. Gymnastics has been proactive in helping to educate the Gymnastics Community over the years, and well continue to take every punitive action available within our jurisdiction and cooperate fully with law enforcement. All right. Happening now, a strike involving Santa Clara County court workers. We have been telling you about it for the last couple days. Hundreds of people who walked off the job yesterday, which you saw live here on the 9, at courthouses across Santa Clara County. They are demanding higher pay. Ktvus brian flores live outside the superior court house in san jose with whats happening now. Looks busy, brian. Reporter yeah, certainly it is. We could be seeing this strike again tomorrow and perhaps the rest of the week. Perhaps into next week as well. In terms of whats happening today, we are expecting more of the same thing that we saw yesterday. What we mean is that you are going to have several employees from the court picketing out here. If you have Court Business within the Santa Clara County court system, whether it be jury duty or paperwork, just expect delays. Now, 330 employees ranging from janitors to clerks and processors walked off the job yesterday. They say they are short staffed and its been eight years since they last had a raise. They are rejecting the courts offer of a 5. 5 raise in the first of a twoyear deal, plus money to offset Employee Pension contributions. Earlier this morning on mornings on 2 we spoke with the president of the Union Heading this picket. She was very candid on how not having a raise in several years has affected her. To be honest, i am living with my mom right now. I am 55 years old, and in a sense its kind of embarrassing. So over the past eight years its been very tough. Especially living here in this area. Its so expensive. A lot of our members are hurting. Reporter now, in terms of the general public, if you have business with the court, expect long wait times and lines. All Court Divisions are hearing cases, but only on a limited basis. Jury selection is continuing. If you have jury summonses, you are told to continue business as usual until you are formally excused from the court. Certain Clerks Offices are closed including the family Clerks Office in sunnyvale, the criminal Clerks Office in palo alto, and the traffic Clerks Office in santa clara. In terms of the investigation the negotiation, guys, i just spoke with the president just a few minutes ago of the union here. They say there has been no timetable when talks will continue. The Sticking Point is that second year raise, which they say they will not be getting. Its going to take time until this negotiation is back in order and, again, its going to be happening in terms of the strike possibly for the next several days. Back to you. Thank you. And of course well be monitoring those negotiations and let everyone know if there is any breakthroughs there. This story is apparently a good deed gone bad. We are talking about 19year old alex who was fired from his job at a jack in the box in bakersfield. Now, this happened after there was some Surveillance Video that caught him giving a military veteran free tacos. He admits that he gave the man free beans in the past because he is a veteran and regular. In the past two weeks, someone from corporate saw that Surveillance Video. Since he did that, i dont think i should charge him for a coffee. Its like not even a dollar for a coffee. I know what i did wasnt right to them. But to me its all right. Well, jack in the box released a statement saying it would not be appropriate to provide complete details on an internal issue. The company says its actions were not based on just one incident, and had nothing to do with the guests military experience. A Mountain View company now has permission to for one big step on an incredible space journey. The company is called moon express. Its the first to receive faa approval to launch a spacecraft that goes past earths orbit. They are planning to send a small robot lander to the lunar surface sometime next year. That lander will take pictures and video and then send them back to us. But eventually the companys founder has bigger plans. He told us he wants to set up Mining Operations and eventually take people to the moon. Eugene cerning was the last man on the moon 44 years ago. Getting news into the newsroom about a chp motorcycle officer involved in a crash 280 northbound in san jose near winchester boulevard. Thats the area where the crash happened marked by the triangle. There is a hev red line. That means traffic in the area is not good. This happened when the motorcycle officer was involved with a crash with a car. The good news is the officer is okay. There was some Property Damage to one of the vehicles. Some minor delays are happening in the area of 280 and north winchester. This is not too far from other major highways there. Keep it in mind. It is towards the end of the morning commute. Thats good news. We are glad the officer is
