negotiating with him. trying to get him to come down. this is tape here. this is not a live picture. the chp describes the man as distraught. he's about 25 feet above the roadway. the coast guard, as well as san francisco police boats have also moved in to the area. this is about halfway between the city and treasure island. want to give you a live look of the toll plaza i mentioned. you can see the backup getting in to san francisco right now. and it's not just here. this traffic backup goes all the way into the maze. all the way into the lower east shore. westbound 80 lanes. past albany. this goes into 580 in richmond. 808 starting to back up a little bit. if you think about detours, you have the san mateo bridge. we have bart. you have the richmond san rafel bridge and across the golden gate bridge. >> chp officer of the highway patrol. we'll talk about the traffic impact in a minute. first i'd like to start with

the negotiations to get this man to safety. >> reporter: yes, good afternoon. we are currently speaking with the gentleman. both our officers as well as hostage negotiators -- or negotiators from the san francisco police department are in communication with the gentleman and trying to determine exactly what is going on with him so we can talk him down safely. >> it started about 10:30. here we are about an hour and a half into it. are officers prepared to let him stay there to go on as long as it takes or is there some perhaps pressure to resolve the situation for everyone who is stuck in traffic? >> well, we obviously understand that there is a significant impact on traffic currently because we -- on the bridge going westbound. however, we are also talking to the gentleman and we want to make sure we do everything we can to make sure that we're

able to talk him down safely. his well being is certainly important and that's what we're trying to determine right now is why he's up there and what we can do to get him back down. >> officer williams, has any information been relayed to you from officers at the scene in regards to specific conversation that he's having right now? or what he's actually talking about? >> you know, that's between him and the negotiators. >> sure. >> i'm not sitting in on those conversations. >> so he essentially drove his own vehicle on to the bridge, parked it and climbed up on his own? >> what's been reported and what we're hearing is what he was doing is he drove his vehicle on the bridge, it broke down in the number one lane at center anchorage, one of our tow truck drivers came up behind him to assist him and then noticed that the gentleman climbed out of his vehicle and at that point climed up on to

the anchorage itself. >> any other individuals with him at the time in that vehicle? >> can you hear me? >> yeah. any other individuals with him in the vehicle? >> no. no, he was by himself. >> okay. >> does he have a weapon, do you know? >> we've not seen any weapons. he's not brandished any weapons. in fact, there's a camera that's stationed right above where he is and our camera operators are also not seeing any weapons on him. >> okay. officer vu williams, thanks for joining us. our big story happening at noon right now, there is a major traffic mess happening on the bay bridge. there is a man who is sitting in the very center of it. we just heard that this man's well being is of the utmost importance and there is no rush to clear the traffic backlog. >> that's the lower east shore through university avenue and berkeley. the westbound lanes backed up all the way past albany on to

580 in richmond. the smaller box, the approach toll follow plaza as folks try to inch their way. not even a lot of inching going on on the way to the bay bridge. a number of lanes closed because of this incident. >> there's more traffic breaking news happening in the east bay right near 880 in the castro valley area. sky fox to bring us a picture of this overturned big rig. this has caused a closure of the connector ramp from 880 northbound to 238 southbound. 238, that little stretch of road, that's what you typically take to get from 860 to 560. the reason the road is closed is because the big rig is leaking a material or chemical and that's requiring a hazmat response. the driver does appear to be okay. so far there is no estimate on the time of reopening the lanes. we can tell from this live picture from sky fox, 880 northbound as ewe coming up from hayward toward castro valley is very slow at this

time. traffic maps on ktvu.com show a big backup almost to 92. these live pictures bear that out. trouble on 880 northbound. here's that traffic we're talking about. you can't get from 880 north to 238 to jump over to 580. keep that in mind if you're making your way. we move down 880 into the south bay. right now a jury is deliberating the sentence for antolin garcia torres. the man convicted of killing sierra lamar. >> alex savidge with more on the difficult decision the jury is facing, alex. >> reporter: it certainly will be a tough one. good afternoon to both of you. this jury must decide if if sierra la mar's killer deserves the ultimate punishment. one legal analyst i talked to this morning said this process could take quite a bit of time. earlier this morning jurors began deliberating the fate of antolin garcia-torres. they are trying to figure out

if it he deserves a life sentence without parole or the death penalty. these jurors are going to have to make sure they have no doubts at all before they make this very tough decision. >> this is not a complicated factual question, but it's a very complex moral question that this jury has to decide. >> garcia-torres was convicted of kidnapping and murder. the 15-year-old disappeared five years ago on her way to school. prosecutors say that her disappear, the fact that her body was never recovered points to the heinous nature of this crime. defense attorneys say that garcia torres shouldn't be put to death if there's no body. >> what the defense is trying to suggest and what this jury has to think about is does garcia-torres deserve society's ultimate sanction. they put together a lot of evidence about his background, his family life and all of those factors have gone in to

what this jury must consider when they're handing out this verdict. >> if this jury returns a death verdict for garcia-torres, the judge can still decide instead to give hip a life sentence. the judge, she has the ultimate say here. judges typically give quite a bit of weight to a jury's decision during the penalty phase of a trial. we should also point out if this jury cannot reach a unanimous decision on whether to give him a life sentence or the death penalty, then in that case he would be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. the first day of deliberations underway in san jose. happening right now in the east bay, air quality officials are considering new regulations to limit emissions from bay area oil refineries. the bay area air quality management district's board of directors is holding a public hearing right now. they're listening to testimony and are set to vote on regulations to limit emissions from bay area oil refine rips.

everyone signed it two years ago. the agreement was signed by president obama back in it 2015. it committed the u.s. and 195 other nations to reducing carbon emissions by 25 to 28% over the next decade. the goal, to fight global warming and climate change worldwide. on the campaign trail last year, then candidate trump pledged to exit that agreement citing complaints from people in the coal and fossil fuel industries. now sources close to the president say he plans to fulfill that promise. so what would it mean for the u.s.? our environment and our economy. we asked that question. he says the paris climate accord has its flaws. many environmental groups say it was too weak to begin with because there was no enforcement. but leaving the pact the u.s. risks losing its leadership and credibility abroad. >> for the u.s. to back away from even that weak initial step will send a negative

signal that the u.s. does not intend to take seriously the threat of climate change which the vast, vast majority of scientists agree is very real. >> other economists have warned that leaving the paris accord does not mean jobs in the coal industry will be coming back. that industry has been on the deline can for years. mostly because of the cheaper cost of producing natural gas and changes in technology. reportedly the president's own secretary of state rex tillerson supports remaining in if the paris accord. he is supposed to meet with tillerson to discuss the issue. the man you see there is mr. trump's epa administrator. he supports the idea of withdrawing from the paris accord. even the president's advisors appear to be at odds over whether the u.s. should stay or leave this climate change agreement. mr. trump said via a tweet he will announce a final decision

>> i sincerely apologize. i'm just now seeing the reaction of these images. i crossed the line. i went way too far. the image is too disturbing. i understand how it offends people. >> griffin says it's her latest mistake but likely won't be her last. the u.s. secret service also responded to this and posted on twitter they have a division to evaluate social immediate yap threats and that threats made against secret service protectees receive the highest priority. still ahead, we're monitoring the building bay bridge backup. all the backup at the toll plaza caused by a man sitting on the middle anchorage of the western span of the bay bridge. traffic is backed up well into the east bay. another report coming up. believe it or not, a few little sprinkles early this morning in some pockets of the bay area. we give you a live look at san francisco bay. a lot of blue sky. mark tamayo is here with your forecast.
