wants to hold off the coast. maybe a couple of sprinkles here. then through the day showers into the bay area but not a rainout. looks like a nice weekend. temperatures in the 60s and 70s with sunshine and clouds for today. 69 milpitas, 64 pacifica. east bay temperatures as high as 70 in pleasanton, 65 benicia and 67 degrees in the napa valley. 60s inside the bay with sunshine and a couple of clouds. otherwise look good. tomorrow chance of showers in the forecast. come the weekend though just partly cloudy but should be dry with warmer temperatures toward monday. that's a look at weather. let's check on traffic now with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. there's not much traffic to talk about. that's the good news. it is dry, back too weather. i know, back to news. a lot of our overnight roadwork is picked up. i just check the chp reports no incidents now. so that's great if you have to get to work. tomorrow is a holiday but if you have to go to work, it

"l.a. times" reports that the state senate was spending more than $100,000 in taxpayer funds a year. now, the money was used to stock the coffee room and cover meal expenses when sessions extended into lunch and dinner. last year during the budget standoff the senate spent $23,000 for food and another $2,900 a month spent on granola, yogurt, fruit, sweet snacks and the head of the national tax limitation committee compared meal spending to double dipping. that's because senators, you

may not know this, get $143 a day for meals and expenses. after the "l.a. times" reported on this the senate committee voted to end that free ride. the future of redevelopment agencies could be decided in the state supreme court which begins hearing testimony this morning. earlier this year, governor brown proposed eliminating redevelopment agencies as part of an effort to reduce the budget deficit. several cities and the statewide redevelopment association filed a lawsuit in july. they say the governor and lawmakers are just trying to sidestep prop 22 which bans the state from raiding local government funding. 5:21. negotiators for basketball players and nba team owners plan to meet in new york again today. >> yeah. hopefully get some work done. it comes after yesterday's marathon talks went past the deadline. the league said if the players didn't accept the latest proposal on time, the offer would be replaced by one the players would like less. the players have been locked out for more than 4 months.

and the big issue now is -- i'm not sure the fans care. >> really? >> i think some do but a lot, oh, is there a lockout? i don't know. maybe that's a personal quote. i don't miss it that much. but we move along, grace. 5:22. microsoft plans to take a big bite out of apple. how it's making history in the silicon valley today. >> and a paw predicament. the tricky rescue for a dog stuck in a shower drain. poor guy. can i, can i (repeated) v.o: can now be enjoyed in your coffee ( can i, can i (repeated) ) v.o: only international delight v.o: put's the real flavours from v.o: your favourite treats inside

while our cameras were there yesterday, a woman returned james after buying him in a safeway parking lot for $200. no word whether police will continue to hound the thieves. >> another dog story here. a happy ending, as well. sacramento firefighters say this dog rescue was one of a kind for them. >> they responded to a call by the dog stuck in a shower drain. lulu was getting a bath when she somehow gotter who back paw wedged in the drain. the firefighters brought in a vet who had to sedate her because she wouldn't sit still while firefighters were cutting the drain apart. i don't blame her. i'm sure it was loud and scary. the owner says he has learned his lesson. >> i'll put the plug in next time. [ laughter ] so that doesn't happen again. so she will be safe. i don't want to see her get hurt again. you know? >> awww. >> jack black's brother. >> quite a laugh there. >> the vet says her paw will be fine. she was adopted from the spca

six months ago. so happiness all around for dogs here in northern california. >> and apparently called a tv station, too. >> hey, my dog's back paw is stuck in the drain. >> lulu is fine. student riots and overturned tv truck and football coach fired. a lot of chaos at penn state. we have the latest coming up. >> and it's not a question of if but when small steps oakland is take before another raid at frank ogawa plaza. and the new encampment called "occupy" cal has diminished significantly overnight but they say they are just getting ramped you. the latest from the campus coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,

that they're just getting start. >> what's next? as we said at the top of your story, berkeley says they don't want the campers there. but they are allowing it. >> reporter: they are. at least a small amount of campers right now. if they try to expand, will the police move back in? we'll see. protestors say their plan is to build an encampment and the university says no. they won't allow it nor will they allow people to overtake buildings. that was another thing the protestors have been bouncing around. >> is it primarily students, anne? we know in oakland there's a little bit of everything there. in san francisco, as well. >> reporter: that's right. i would belief that's the same scenario here but i have talked to several students so will have some students and grad students, as well. >> thank you. meanwhile, along those same lines, csu students could face

another tuition hike. csu system is proposing a 9% increase next year. that's about $500 a person. and unless state lawmakers give csu at least $200 million, it's going up. if approved next week at a vote, it will be the sixth year in a row that tuition went up in california. a second raid is imminent to close the "occupy" camp in oakland.

week. that was better than economists were forecasting. so that's giving a little bit of a boost here to wall street. however, asian markets plunged this morning. japan's nikkei fell almost 3% with hong kong's hang seng plunging more than 5%. as you said, wall street suffering their biggest sell- off in nearly two months yesterday putting the major stock indices into negative territory for the year. dow down 389, nasdaq down 105. now, as we were talking, italy has become the biggest concern as the country's borrowing costs soared to a record high. some analysts say a big bailout may be out of the question now that the italian economy is just too big. it's europe's third largest with a debt of $2.6 trillion. simply isn't enough money to put together a rescue package. meanwhile, we have greece's situation. nowhere near settled. negotiations to put together a coalition government have turned chaotic. until they get that done, analysts say they will not get that rescue package that was put together by the eu.

now, if that drags on, greece will default on its debt within weeks. that would be catastrophic. and again, all this news is not just a european concern. italy or greece could actually pull europe back into recession. if that happens, it is headed our way. half of american banks lend to banks in europe and italy alone, some of our biggest banks have billions in outstanding loans and analysts say it's not just about stocks. a european default would bring our already slow job growth to a standstill and nobody wants to see that. so again really hoping they can get things together over in europe soon. >> other than that everything's fine, right? [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> reporter: other than that you know, it's a cheerful day. exactly. >> ashley, is there any sense of time? i mean, we have been hearing about the crisis in greece and now italy and, of course, spain and portugal also having problems, as well. what is it going to take to try to get them not so exposed? they talk about this debt as being unstainable. >> reporter: like they said,

this is the third largest country, uhm, and it would be very hard for them to, uhm, get a rescue package for italy. italy is the biggest concern right now. there's not a lot of confidence now with silvio berlusconi saying he will resign and they are not really sure what direction the financial future is head at this point. so a lot of confidences, uhm, really plunging there. that's going to be our major problem and, of course, it's going to affect all of the other, uhm, banks, uhm, throughout europe and that also, of course, affect us, too. so it's really hard. the eu just came out actually saying that, uhm, quote it could be a long and deep recession if they don't get this, uhm, together very soon. >> and it's a helpless feeling for all of those who have 401(k)s because there's not much you can do when a lot of what's happening in europe is affecting the markets here. so hopefully they can get their store in order over there. ashley morrison live in new
