thank you for joining us. time now is 5:00. in a few hours from now a federal judge will tour california's new execution chamber at san quentin state prison as part of his review of a lawsuit challenging the state's lethal injection procedure. and our sharon chin is at san quentin to explain. good morning. reporter: good morning. u.s. district judge jeremy fogel is expected to tour the prison chamber five years after he said it was too outdated to carry out executions. he will tour the new untested chamber for lethal injections this morning at 11:00. it's an unusual move but the tour is part of a trial that could help determine whether california can resume executions. back in 2006, executions were put on hold after fogel said the state could not carry them out in a humane way because it's an old death chamber and workers are poorly trained.

now the state has to show that it's fixed the problems with a new $900,000 claim ber for lethal injections built under orders from former governor schwarzenegger. now, there are a lot of questions that remain, including whether the three- drug combination used would be the best option for california. death penalty supporters argue that the executions should continue because california's method follows supreme court standards but death penalty opponents say the state has failed to repair its death penalty system. now, there are 720 inmates here on death row and if executions are allowed to continue, there are several who have exhausted their appeals and could be next in line. back to you now, elizabeth. >> thank you, sharon chin live at san quentin. a hearing in oakland tonight about whether to allow industrial pot farms. tonight the city council's public safety committee will consider a new plan to license large-scale medical marijuana growing operations. one councilwoman proposes

linked to close to 100 deaths on u.s. roads. since fall 2009 toyota has had to recall 11 million vehicles due to the failures and pay $50 million in record fines for the way it handled those recalls. the automaker also took a major credibility hit and now it's fielding a slough of potentially devastating lawsuits. just this morning toyota reported a 39% drop in its quarterly profit but the company's president insists toyota has fixed the acceleration problems. >> we have done extensive testing on the system and never found a malfunction that's caused unintended acceleration. >> reporter: transportation officials expected to reveal whether their investigation supports or contradicts today's findings and you can bet the company and consumers alike will be watching this report

are a lot of questions still including whether the three- drug combination used would be the best option for california. death penalty supporters argue california's execution program is constitutional, but death penalty opponents say the state has failed to repair its program for the 720 inmates on death row. and if executions are going to resume in california, there are several who have already exhausted their appeals so they would be next in line. back to you. >> thank you, sharon chin in san quentin. a san jose family is offering to pay for information about the driver who put their teenaged girl in the hospital. police say that a car struck the victim early sunday morning on fontaine road in east san jose. she was dragged hundreds of feet down the street. that car never stopped. and now 18-year-old erika luna is in the hospital where she has been in surgery twice since sunday morning. doctors say she may never walk again. her family and friends are posting flyers around the

claims. since fall 2009 millions of toyotas have been recalled due to the failures, and toyota has been forced to pay $50 million in record fines. the automaker's profits have suffered in the wake of the recalls and its legal troubles have mound. it's facing a number of potentially devastating lawsuits to. make matters worse, just this morning, toyota reported a 39% drop in its quarterly profits. as many as 93 deaths in the united states could be linked to toyota's problem including a high-speed crash near san diego that happened just after this 911 call. >> and the accelerator is stuck. we're on 125 and can't brake. >> reporter: the company's president insists toyota has fixed the acceleration problems by installing a fail-safe override brake system on all its vehicles.

more normal winter pattern. reports of an accident in livermore eastbound 50 -- 580 at portola. a flipped vehicle is on its roof. it hit debris. a tow truck will be arriving to get everything out of the way. because it's the noncommute direction it will affect the westbound side as well for spectator slowing, lots of activity there so you can see already a backup building westbound 580 through livermore. making matters worse we have a wind advisory in effect for the altamont pass so that's affecting the drive on 580, as well. slow and go speeds westbound from the altamont pass over to 680. you can see the camera shaking this morning. still nice speeds though from 880 to 101. only about 14 minutes. but again because of the wind advisory use caution as you cross the span. 880 through oakland, speeds doing okay as well but again we are seeing some pretty windy
