pg&e fighting one of the key safety demands since the san bruno blast. a warning to us customers if the utility is forced to cut pipeline treasure. a new era of luxury travel at sfo this morning. we are going inside the terminal that's making other airports green with envy. good morning. it is thursday, the 14th of april. i'm sydnie kohara. >> and good morning, everybody. i'm frank mallicoat. time now is 5:00. let's check traffic and weather. hardest working guy in meteorologist. >> were you here last night, too, lawrence. yes, i was, sydnie and i couldn't think of a place i'd rather be right now. >> did you make your little bed under the desk? >> i wish. boy, wouldn't that be nice. hey, guys, we have a nice day coming our way. we have a lot of sunshine and a mix of sun and clouds. temperatures not going to be all that bad. we have numbers warming up a bit, mid-60s in places like concord into san jose. a little cooler in oakland. and about 61 degrees in san francisco. we have warmer weather ahead. we'll talk more about that in a minute. right now let's check that traffic with elizabeth.

>> all right. thank you, lawrence. and we are going out live towards 880 in oakland. a little bet of ongoing roadwork -- a little bit of ongoing roadwork on this stretch from 29th avenue towards fifth embarcadero so various lanes blocked there but overall not much of a dent in your drive time. more roadwork in san ramon. we'll have details of that plus a check of mass transit coming up. back to you. >> thank you. pg&e is fighting back. this morning, it is warning customers that they could be harmed if the utility is forced to implement a key safety demand following the deadly san bruno blast. let's go to anne makovec. she joins us now from pg&e's headquarters in san francisco with details. anne, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a lot of pressure on pg&e executives to make safety a top priority and in fact, look at the sign here above their headquarters. they have talked about making it one of their main goals. but the question, what do you want to risk in convenience

when it comes to safety? now, after what happened in san bruno last september state regulators have been considering a slew of new rules for pg&e's gas line. a few weeks ago the utility was ordered to produce records on all of its urban gas lines, records on roughly a third of those pipes are still missing this morning. so the state is proposing pg&e reduce pressure on its older lines like the one that blew up in san bruno. specifically, the lines that have records that are still missing. well, pg&e is warning this morning that 20% cut back in the so-called backbone type would have a lot of consequences for consumers. it would reduce the system's available gas according to pg&e by 67%. it could cause uncontrolled customer outages, pilot light problems. it would limit their gas storage options. and it could lead to possible electrical blackouts because many power plants run on

natural gas, according to pg&e. now, they have been open to a lot of the puc's suggestions when it comes to safety things about like more transparency when it comes to their records and when it comes to their problems and their constructions, also installing some of those automatic safety valves but pg&e is warning that if it complies with all of the proposals, it may be something that the rest of us would all feel. so what is everybody willing to do? >> exactly. but at the same time, no one wants to see another san bruno blast. all right. ann, thanks very much. >> reporter: definitely not. >> mackinac san francisco. time now 5:03. oakland police on the hunt for suspect in the city's latest homicide. police say a man was shot about 8:00 last night. there are conflicting reports of who took him to the hospital. once there he was pronounced dead. no other information has been released. stanford police meanwhile are releasing a new description of a suspect that sexually assaulted a student this past

weekend. he is described as a 30-year- old asian indian approximately 5'6" with a chubby build and wavy black hair. he was seen wearing bluejeans and dark colored shirt. the assault happened around 9:30 saturday night in the student housing unit on comstock circle. the man is believed to have snuck in through an unblocked door and assaulted the female graduate student while she slept. he fled when the victim fought him off. time now 5:04. guilty on one count deadlocked on the rest. that is the outcome in the barry bonds perjury trial in federal court. the jury found bonds guilty of a single charge of obstruction of justice. a mistrial was then declared on three perjury charges about using steroids and human growth hormones and lying to a grand jury about it. jurors had trouble believing some witnesses, especially bonds' former mistress, kimberly bell. >> she was seemed to be attacking barry instead of just giving her own honest

testimony. >> so really what we saw was enough inconsistencies in the storytelling that really led us to wonder, well, who was really telling the truth? >> the defense is now asking the judge to throw out the guilty verdict. fans we spoke with seemed to be forgiving. >> i think it's kind of disappointing that he was doing steroids in that -- >> reporter: he didn't say he was doing steroids. they just said he was guilty of obstruction of justice. >> yeah, that he was lying. >> bonds' lawyers are moving to have the guilty verdict thrown out. the next hearing on the case may 20. and we have complete coverage of the bonds verdict on our website, cbssf.com, including the raw interviews with the jurors and you will also find analysis on our sports page. an old terminal brand-new again at sfo and open for business this morning. kiet do is at terminal 2 where the first flights will leave in about an hour. kiet, good morning. >> reporter: yes, in fact we are starting to see people

reduction to lead to outages, pilot light problems and other issues. new improved terminal 2 at san francisco international airport open for business this morning. the terminal has had more than $300 million worth of renovations. the first flights are departing and arriving in the next couple of hours. and hundreds of police officers are trying to find bodies outside the fukushima nuclear power plant in japan. radiation there has declined to its lowest level since a tsunami crippled the plant last month. that's now allowing police to search areas closer to the plant. all right. the weather looking good around the bay area. high pressure trying to build in. still got a couple of clouds out there now, chilly in spots, temperatures in the 30s and 40s if you are headed out the door. partly cloudy to the coast. the good news is by the afternoon, partly cloudy skies, sunshine in between, temperatures warming into the 60s inland, 50s and plenty of 60s inside the bay. at the coast, cooler with some

sunshine and some clouds. so high pressure building in but the center of that ridge off the coastline is allowing for some of the clouds to dump over the top of the ridge so occasionally we'll see those clouds moving by. and there is a slight chance we could still see some showers mainly north of the golden gate bridge over the next couple of days but for the most part high pressure is going to hold strong. our temperatures will be warming up. some of those numbers into the 70s the next few days. this afternoon, we're talking about 65 degrees and some partly cloudy skies in morgan hill. 65 los altos. 63 danville. 66 antioch. 64 berkeley, breezy by the afternoon. north bay expecting some sunshine and a few clouds moving on by. we'll keep it dry there for today. 65 in santa rosa. about 64 in petaluma and a cool 57 in bodega bay. next couple of days, well, more of those clouds on the way that will roll over the top of the ridge. but interestingly enough, temperatures are going to be warmer. numbers moving up into the 70s in many spots inland and it looks like that's the way it's going to stay right on in through the weekend.

i think a better chance for rain across the bay area as we head in toward monday. let's get a check of your traffic now with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. we are just getting word of a new accident now in daly city. three to four cars involved in this crash. we're talking southbound 280 just past hickey and you can see some slowing on our sensors across that stretch. it sounds like at least one lane is blocked. debris scattered all over the roadway. and chp is out there now trying to run a couple of quick traffic breaks to hopefully clear it out of lanes completely but again, southbound 280 really slow right now as you head towards daly city. 101 is going to be a much better alternate. you can see a live look along the peninsula. this is live look at 101 traffic near third street where everything is free-flowing this morning in either direction. all right. we have that accident in daly city and then we have some continuing overnight roadwork. southbound and northbound 680, both directions in san ramon between alcosta and rudgear road. we have a couple of lanes blocked in either direction

we also know that debris was scattered all over the freeway. so we'll continue to watch this growing hotspot right here. back to you guys. >> thank you. it is one of the key safety demands since the deadly san bruno blast. but this morning, pg&e has a serious warning. let's go to anne makovec to tell us more about what the utility says could happen to customers if forced to cut their pressure. >> reporter: i wouldn't call it a doomsday scenario but pg&e is laying out some serious consequences if it complies with one of the main proposals from the public utilities commission. so the question, what do we want to risk inconvenience for safety? after what happened in san bruno last september, state regulators have been considering new rules for pg&e's gas lines and a few weeks ago the utility was ordered to produce records on all of its urban gas lines. records on a third of those

pipelines are still missing so the state proposes that pg&e reduce pressure on all its older lines like the one that blew up in san bruno, specifically the lines with records that are still missingch pg&e says a 20% cut in its so-called backbone pipes would produce unfortunate consequences. it would reduce gas pressure by 67%, cause uncontrolled pilot outages, pilot light problems, limit gas storage options and cause possible blackouts of electricity because many power plants run on gas. the puc is meeting again this morning to talk about regulating pg&e. and pg&e has said that it would comply with a lot of the recommendations that have already been put forth, things like putting those automatic safety valves in place and being more transparent about its reports and its construction, its problems on its lines. but this one is one that it is

going to have it balance with convenience as i mentioned. so that's going to be interesting. some warnings this morning from pg&e. >> yeah. i think the balance is the keyword here, anne. thanks very much, anne makovec in san francisco. a man is in the hospital with life-threatening third- degree burns after catching fire inside a san francisco pornography store. officers across the street from the adult arcade saw the man run out the front door engulfed in flames last night. firefighters just a block away extinguished those flames. it is not clear how he caught fire. police say he had been watching porn videos in a private booth when it happened. investigators are trying to figure out how another man caught fire in san francisco. they say police officers discovered his body last night near sixth and mission streets. the victim was taken to the hospital. no other information has been released. oakland police on the hunt for the suspects in the city's latest homicide. police say a man was shot last night and apparently dropped

be connected to three other murders in new york during the early '70s. the jury in the barry bonds trial was able to agree on only one count against the former baseball star. after that 12-day trial, the jury deliberated for nearly four full days. and it found bonds guilty of a single charge of obstruction of justice. there was a mistrial on three charges. jurors had trouble believing some of the witnesses especially bonds' former mistress, kimberly bell. >> she seemed to be attacking barry instead of just giving her own honest testimony. >> so really what we saw is enough inconsistencies in the storytelling that really led to us wonder, well, who was really telling the truth? >> the defense is asking the judge to throw out the guilty verdict. a pair of looters from last summer's protests over the johannes mehserle verdict have lost a lawsuit against the city

of oakland. two men terry williams and gerard dugas were caught with stolen jewelry back on july 8. each will pay $25,000 to the owner of the looted store. neither man showed up to depend themselves against the lawsuit. 5:36. another look at traffic and weather. we start with lawrence and had a little bit of sunshine, a little bit of rain. but today, what, all clear skies? >> today we have a dirty ridge. >> dirt ridge? >> that doesn't sound too good. >> it goes along with the baggy trough. >> they hang out together quite often!
