people here in the city of oakland. at least going to be a community group coming here to the site where little carlos nava died this month. you can see the memorial is still set up. those community members will protest those moves i just mentioned, proposals by the city council. they are also going to be honoring the victims of oak's recent violence. murders are up 50% here in this city. the council president larry reid and councilman ignacio de la fuente are pushing now for that citywide curfew and for the city to enforce and expand current gang injunction from fruitvale to east and west oakland. those are civil court orders, similar to restraining orders. mayor jean quan calls the move political grandstanding. community members though have varied views. most of them agree that something does need to be done.

>> it's hard. >> juvenile hall, they are going to get out. >> reporter: now, the details of these proposals have yet to be worked out. they could be expensive to enforce. so that's one of the factors that the council is going to have to take into consideration. again, that community group going to be meeting here at 11:00 this morning. and still a lot of details again as i mentioned to be worked out in these council proposals including the times for the curfew but normally when councils talk about this they talk about 10:00 on weekdays and then 11:00 on weekends. back to you. >> details are scarce but do we have any idea how soon we could see these curfews, weeks, months. >> reporter: no idea at this point. it is only a proposal. and it is going to be a tough fight. there could even be legal challenges to all this. we know there have been a lot of legal challenges to these gang injunctions in the past.

so it could be a battle. >> anne makovec in oakland, thank you. in the meantime, the suspected getaway drive in the shooting of 3-year-old carlos nava has been charged with murder. 22-year-old willie torrence was officially charged yesterday the same day nava was laid to rest. police believe torrence drove while lawrence dennard allegedly fired the shots which killed an oakland boy on august 8. torrence was arrested in las vegas friday and is awaiting extradition. it is 6:02. bay area schools hit by thieves one school targeted four times in the past week but they aren't after high-tech gadgets and computers. they are looking for copper. kristy seifkin has more from san francisco. >> reporter: good morning. this copper theft is nothing new to the bay area. but it really has gotten out of hand in the summer months especially on school campuses and the most recent target these two schools in san francisco's sunset district both hit in the last week. now, one of those schools the

alice fong youth school had copper pipes stolen from a construction site on the campus four days in a row. and police responded by putting additional patrols and putting plainclothes officers in the area. they have a description of the suspect. but they are not releasing that yet because this is still an ongoing investigation. the french school was the second school that's hit, that's on ortega street a few blocks away. and it was hit this weekend. an employee saw two men on the roof that were stealing copper rain gutters from the building on sunday night. now, vallejo schools have been a popular target for this crime throughout the summer. 10 thefts happened in july alone costing the school district an estimated $100,000. >> probably about $5,000 just for the wire. >> in this one -- >> in thisonee pipe. >> reporter: some blame the

police cut back. police caught two of the copper thieves. just this weekend san leandro was hit. lights were taken out for one- third of a mile stretch. those lights were out for a few days and the wiring had to be replaced. and one factor that's consistent between all of these crimes is that the thieves are pretty bold and actually skilled. some of them are getting on rooftops to steal the copper. others are actually cutting into pipes and then cutting through live copper electrical wires many times that are conducting more than 1500 volts of electricity. that's a significant amount that can be dangerous to someone. so the thieves want this copper badly. back to you. >> shows how desperate people are now to get money in any way they can. >> reporter: absolutely. >> all right. kristy seifkin life in san francisco, thank you. the 9-year-old phillies fan struck by a suspected drunk driver of san francisco is now back home in pennsylvania. ryan white hit by a pickup

mild numbers inland up into the 60s. by the afternoon that fog will give way to mostly sunny skies, almost everywhere you go except at the coast. patchy fog continuing there just a bit. temperatures in the 60s. hot in the valley, in the low 90s once again. there are already some changes in the works. high pressure has been holding on for quite some time but this ridge over the four corners weakened toward friday so the temperatures will drop. enjoy the sunshine. after the fog burns off this morning, staying close to a seasonal average toward the afternoon. expect a hot 101 degrees in fresno, 96 and sunny in sacramento, 69 partly cloudy into the monterey bay. around the bay the south bay could be nice and toasty, 82 degrees in santa clara, about 83 in san jose and about 76 in mountain view, 60s at the coast, hot inland 92 in walnut creek. 90 livermore. 93 brentwood. 60s and 70s into oakland and alameda and richmond. north bay we'll see temperatures cooler at the beaches with the patchy fog but away from the coast, you will see plenty of sunshine and much

warmer weather. next couple of days temperatures steady but then toward friday, cooler air going to start sweeping off the pacific. then cooler temperatures more fog even some drizzle developing especially at the beaches. that's a look at weather. let's check on traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. we are going to start you off in milpitas. 680 right before calaveras road southbound an accident there sounds like one car is in the median, one off to the shoulder. so this isn't causing major delays. chp is on scene. our sensors aren't picking up any major delays through the stretch. we are starting to see brakes out of the altamont pass westbound 580. we had separate stalls across the stretch so you can see that traffic is moving slowly really all the way towards pleasanton and then speeds improve closer to hopyard closer towards the dublin interchange. mass transit everything is on time. bart has 46 trains now all running like clockwork. ace train number one and three

few weeks. now some city leaders have a radical proposal to stop it but they may have to hit a major roadblock first. anne makovec is in oakland to explain. good morning. >> reporter: some call it radical, frank. but when you're talking about gang injunctions, those have been in place here in oakland, though they have caused quite a legal controversy. the other option is curfews which are in place in many cities. bottom line is that murders here in oakland have been up about 50% this year including the murder of carlos nava. this is the site of that killing on august 8. that has outraged people here prompting folks to grasp at solutions to stop the violence in oakland. council president larry reid and councilman ignacio de la fuente are pushing for a citywide curfew and for the city to enforce and expand current gang injunctions from fruitvale to east and west oakland. now, those are civil court orders similar to restraining orders. mayor jean quan calls the move

nothing more than political grandstanding. but de la fuente asks, what's the alternative? >> i think we have to make her account afternoon. i think that if you don't support gang injunction, then what are you doing? what is the plan? >> we have to make her accountable. >> reporter: the details have yet to be worked out on the plans. they could be expensive to pursue especially with the injunctions. there are a lot of legal questions with that. we'll see how the council ends up faring. but we know that the split right now between the councilmembers is just about 50/50. so there's going to be a lot of discussion to be had. mayor jean quan right now is out of town. >> thank you, anne makovec in oakland. a san jose teen stabbed outside a downtown mcdonald's in june is suing the owners. matt bigler is live in san jose and matt, does this teenager have a case? >> reporter: well, that is the big question.

we talked to a legal analyst about that. we'll get to that in just a second. background on this this happened the evening of june 9 here in downtown san jose at this mcdonald's in the parking lot where some 50 to 60 people had gathered following a music in the park concert. that's when a 17-year-old boy says he and a friend went to the mcdonald's on a late-night cheeseburger run. when the friend went inside, suddenly the 17-year-old found himself confronted by one person who demanded his ipod and then stabbed him several times. there was a subsequent brawl that left five people stabbed or seriously injured. the boy is suing mcdonald's for inadequate security. we talked to a former san jose prosecutor and legal analyst steven clark. he says that there is a legal obligation for business owners to provide security for their customers. >> this is similar to the type

of analysis you will see in the bryan stow case where they are also alleging that dodger stadium was a dangerous place based on prior criminal activity. so it comes down to what is a business other than's requirements under the law and whether -- what is a which is owner's requirements under the law and have they acted reasonably? >> reporter: some of those areas are magnets for gangs and violence. the owner of the mcdonald's have no comment. we should note that so far, no arrests have been made in connection with this brawl. i'm matt bigler live in san jose for cbs 5. 634. can a golf course survive san jose's budget crisis? golfers will have their see this evening in san jose about a plan to sell a golf course to developers. the nine-hole rancho del pueblo opened on the east side 11 years ago offering rounds of

clear. a couple of earlier accidents including one in milpitas are gone. so what we are left with is this. here's a live look at the nimitz through oakland 880 past the coliseum. you're great for right now. i did throw up the as sign. a lunchtime as game 12:35 as take on baltimore. couple of earlier stalls including westbound 580 before grant line, both cleared or at least off to the right shoulder so your drive time improving. 16 minutes from the altamont pass to the dublin interchange. but we expect the drive time to continue to grow as this morning commute gets under way. and highway 4 the antioch bridge looks great but we are starting to see some slowing as you as you make your way through antioch. coming up, i'll press this button we'll show you a check of the bay bridge. in the meantime, stay tuned. back to you guys. >> thank you. bay area thieves are on a quest for copper. one school has been hit four times in the past week. kristy seifkin joins us from san francisco to show us what is being done to stop them.

good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, grace. the copper theft is nothing new to the bay area but it really seems to be rampant this summer particularly at school campuses. in fact, two schools in san francisco's sunset district were hit in just the last week. one of those schools the alice fong youth school had copper pipes stolen from its construction site foy four days in a row and police responded by putting additional patrols and plainclothes officers in the area. and they do have a description of the suspect but they haven't released it yet because it is still an ongoing investigation. now, the french school on ortega street is just a few blocks away from the alice fong youth school and it was also hit but police don't know if it was connected to the other thefts. couple of employees saw two men removing copper rain gutters from a school building on sunday night. vallejo schools have also been a popular target for the crime throughout the summer. 10 thefts happened in july alone costing the school

district an estimated $100,000. and some are blaming police cutbacks in vallejo for the thefts but they caught two of the alleged thieves after -- at the end of the month. but just this last weekend san leandro was also hit. thieves stole copper electrical wiring from street lights on macarthur boulevard taking out lighting on one-third of a mile stretch. and those lights were out for a few days and the wiring eventually had to be replaced. consistent between all of these thefts is that the thieves are actually pretty technically skilled and bold. these guys are having to get up on the roofs of buildings, cut through pipes and then some of them are actually cutting through live copper electrical wires that are carrying more than 1500 volts of electricity which is pretty dangerous for somebody. so it's all the more proof that these people are desperate to get their hands on this copper. back to you. >> do we know if this is going to affect any of the students who go to these schools? >> reporter: you know, no information about that thus

far. that's going to be more patrols in the area so that might just heighten awareness and make students nervous but in terms of the start of school or the school being able to operate no information about any delays. >> kristy seifkin in san francisco, thank you. 6:39 now. the 9-year-old phillies fan who was struck by a suspected drunk driver in san francisco is now back home in pennsylvania. ryan white hit by a pickup truck after leaving a giants- phillies game august 4. his condition was upgraded enough so he could be flown home and continue his treatment. the driver of the truck 21-year- old andrew vargas of hayward has pleaded not guilty to dui and hit-and-run charges. new push to make sure dangerous sex offenders like phillip garrido never slip through the cracks again. today assemblywoman susan bonilla of concord will introduce a bill that would give the state parole board more information when deciding whether to release an inmate. right now parole decisions are based entirely on an inmate's behavior while behind bars. this bill would allow the

parole board to consider the type of crime and prior convictions. garrido convicted kidnapper was paroled by a federal board in 1988, just three years before he abducted jaycee dugard. 6:40. the presidential candidate gets all shook up over elvis. the king sized goof on the campaign trail. >> big blunder there. plus it's your chance to get a stanford education without the pricy tuition. popular classes all being offered now for free. and the market opened just about 10 minutes ago. let's get an early check of the numbers. >> we'll have an update from kcbs moneywatch reporter jason brooks in just a few minutes. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

do something for it. show it some love. chevron with techron. care for your car. control growing violence. kovec reports: now the murder of an oakland toddler has become the last straw for a city struggling to control growing violence.

as anne makovec reports, city leaders are pushing for a curfew. >> reporter: curfew and more gang injunctions here in oakland. that's the proposal in the wake of and almost 50% rise in the number of murders here this year so far including that of 3- year-old carlos nava. this is the memorial at the site where he died international and 64th. you can see it just keeps on growing. people have really been inspired to grasp at solutions to stop the violence here. council president larry reid and councilman ignacio de la fuente are now pushing for a citywide curfew and for the city to enforce and expand current gang injunctions from fruitvale to east and west oakland. those are civil court orders similar to restraining orders. mayor jean quan calls this political grandstanding in the wake of this 3-year-old's death. and she doesn't think that these proposals are going to hold any water. and some community groups are

calling them an infringement on civil rights. some groups will be here at 11:00 this morning to honor the victims of oakland's recent murders but also to protest these proposals, the curfew and injunction saying again this is just going too far. we'll follow this. >> thank you. 6:57. one old meteorologist here in the bay area from years gone back would call this a go do it day. >> it is a go do it day. when you say one old meteorologist -- >> not you. this was a guy employed here many moons ago. >> yeah. now what, it is a go do it day. sunshine showing up later on, the fog out there right now. but as we head toward the latter part of the day, yeah, this is typical summer weather. 90s inland, plenty of 60s and 70s in the bay, cool ter coastline with the patchy fog. more of the same as we head in toward thursday although changes as we get into friday and saturday looks like low pressure going to start to

approach the coastline. that will increase the low clouds and fog and cool off temperatures toward the weekend. speaking of going to do it on the roads, how's it look? >> well, it was okay but chp issued a traffic alert for this problem right there on eastbound highway 4. the loveridge road off-ramp. they shut down the off-ramp. this was a stalled big rig and the problem is it's leaking oil so they have to clean it up. so in the meantime it is going against the commute and not impacting the main lines of the freeway. but the eastbound 4 highway loveridge road off-ramp closed. live look at the san mateo bridge, you are fine here in either direction. same thing in the south bay 280 traffic so far in the clear heading out of downtown san jose. bay bridge backed up to the 880 overcrossing and milpitas looks good, as well. [overlapping speakers]

[ laughter ] >> okay. as we talked about coffee apparently coffee can do more than perk you up, elizabeth. >> it may be the next defense against skin cancer believe it or not. researchers at rutgers university found that caffeine guards against nonmelanoma cancers so each cup of coffee you drink reducing the risk by 5%. so we're about 25% done today. that's good. experts say coffee blocks a certain protein enzyme in the skin based on studies with mice. scientists believe applying caffeine directly to the skin could offer protection, as well. >> caption colorado, llc comments@captioncolorado.com good morning. it's the first day of school in joplin, missouri. 160 people died in a tornado that destroyed much of the city
