off cell phones. >> and bart has received more than 9,000 complaints arn the country and prompting the fcc to launch an investigation. bart says it will hold a public meeting on wednesday to discuss these issues. meanwhile anonymous is planning for a protest tonight at civic center bart station beginning at 5:00. those of you getting on bart this morning may want to make alternative plans for your ride home. >> maybe a late dinner tonight. before you get home. thank you, live in san francisco. thanks. 6:03 now. and this morning, nato says it will continue combat air patrols over libya. this until all of muomar ghadafi's forces surrender. ghadafi opponents are celebrating today, and this is as opposition forces they now say they control about 95% of the capital tripoli. still, though tanks continue to fire at rebels trying to storm ghadafi's main compound. ghadafi's where-abouts are unknown. the libyan rebels top diplomat in london say rebels quote will turn over every stone to find

good morning, we will go back out to chopper 5 still hovering over the scene, an earlier two alarm house fire in redwood city. you can see the fire crews are still out there, still mopping up. and what was a pretty -- it looked like a pretty bad fire at one point and smoke billowing out of the roof and we saw flames which are mostly out right now. and just a little bit of smoke lingering out there. it may be a few remaining hot spots, you can see all of the damage, the dang to that wood shake roof. it looks like for the most part fire crews have now got a handle on the fire. it broke out around 6:00. that's when we got word of it and sent chopper 5 out to the scene. so again, there are still streets blocked off. you saw the intersection that chopper 5 showed you. this is hastings. and fernside in redwood city. mostly residential areas. so again, just city streets blocked off. avoid that intersection for a while. because they still don't have a cause so they may be out there

investigating for a while longer. let's go to the maps and show you what else is going on. mass transit. bart is running everything on time but as we have been warning you, expect delays for the evening commute home. hacker activists are planning another protest, this time planned for 5:00 at the civic center bart station. we're warning of potential delays for the evening commute home. plan accordingly. ace, muni, cal train, everything else on time. a lot of people avoid bart and you may find bigger backups at the bay bridge and back to school for a lot of folks today. you're looking at a 15-minute wait to get you on the bridge. metering lights on. and pretty sluggish up the inline as well. that is your traffic. for an update on the traffic, for an update on the forecast, let's go to lawrence. >> the fog is slow to burn off again today. improving a little bit. temperatures a little warmer outside. drizzle out to the coastline. temperatures are running a little bit on the mild side this morning.

not too bad. 50s and a few 60s out there. the clouds sneaking into the valley though this morning. this afternoon, we should see sunshine though and a couple of 80s showing up in the valley and 60s inside the bay and some 70s toward the sant clare valley and 50s and 60s toward the coast. low clouds and fog, pretty thick, down to 2,000 feet or so and that means it is going to be slow to burn back to the coast but the high pressure is building in and that means we are going to compress the marine layer and that means warmer temperatures starting tomorrow. with warmer weather outside. should be about 95 degrees in fresno. and 92 in sacramento. and about 92 also in yosemite. and as you look around the bay, you will find 78 degrees in san jose. and about 80 in morgan hill and 77 degrees millipitas and about 73, it should be sunshine into san mateo. and looking toward the east bay, you will find the temperatures are well in the 80s inland and 84 degrees in bub lynn and 86 in pleasant -- dublin. and plenty of warm temperatures outside today. up in the 70s in many spots. and almost 80 degrees in

benecia. next couple of days, things heat up and high pressure building in. cooling down a little bit on wednesday and thursday. and heating up again toward next weekend. that's a look at weather, guys. back to you. >> thank you, lawrence. rebels gaining ground in libya could have an impact on how much you pay for gas down the road in the states. >> jason brooks is here with kcbs and cbs money watch .com and this has to have an impact on the markets today. >> it is in some respects, good morning, frank and grace. actually, we're seeing oil rise. the oil is up about a dollar this morning. and really, the big impact is on europe in that europe is the prime customer for libyan oil. it is a very high quality oil. and even hoe it makes up only 2% of the -- even though it makes up only 2% of the world out, good quality oil. europe buys a lot of it. and we saw prices spoke several months ago when the civil war broke out and shipments went down. gas prices have been edging back lately as oil has pulled down,

along with the stock market. we're still paying about 55 to 60 cents more per gallon in the bay area in general compared to a year ago. we will take anything in the way of a break with a pump and help consumer spending as well. all eyes on hp. the company got hit hard on friday. after it made its big announcement on thursday that it is looking selling the pc business and getting out of the smart phone and tablet businesses. the stock fell 20% on friday. and its worst single session drop since black friday in october of 1987. and the new york post is reporting that oracle may be interested in taking over hp. of course, oracle hired former hp ceo mark hurd about a year ago, and a big spat between those two companies that has continued since then. oracle is worth about 2 1/2 names that of hp so they have -- 2 1/2 times that of hp and they have the money to do it. it would be a massive -- massive

move. way too early to tell what will happen. hp shares down after a big drop along with the stock market on friday. and right now the s&p is up and hp shares rebounding by 5 1/2% higher. >> hp may be going up because of the news you just mentioned and we just had matt bigler tell us about the tablets that are selling for 99 bucks. and they're being sold out everywhere. >> yes, they're not going to make any money off of the tablets that are being sold out right now. certainly because of the speculation over any potential takeover. that will help the stock. and hp is getting brought up by the broader market rally today. we will see if the market can keep that up. it has been a rough four weeks for the stock market. >> certainly has. jason brooks from kcbs and cbs money watch .com. thanks for joining us today. >> thanks, jason. 6:50. good news for passengers your next flight could be in a better seat. united airlines says it is investing half a billion dollars to improve seating on its planes. it is adding flatbed seats to first and business classes on

long hall planes and increase overhead space and add wi-fi. and 30 planes should be outfitted by the end of the year and 100 more by next march. your marital status could have a big impact on your waistline, i guess. >> well, that impact has differences related to gender and researchers from ohio state university found women usually gain weight after getting married. but men pack on the pounds after getting divorced. i don't like this study though. i know a lot of married couples and i think they both gain weight. >> because they're fat and happy. >> loving life. >> eating together. time for a check of what is coming up today on "the early show" this morning. >> erika hill, who is proudly married, with a new baby. and look how great she looks. >> she looks fact -- fabulous this morning. >> that is very kind of you to say that. i hide the rest of it under the table. this girl loves her spanks. fat and happy on our end and in our household and in our

marriage. we will take it. no diet tips for the married or recently divorced today. but we have the latest on libya today. as you know muomar ghadafi's regime at this point is crumbling. and we are basically just waiting, waiting for that official word. and rebels say they now control 95% of the capital city of tripoli. so the big question at this point, not only what happens to muomar ghadafi, but what happens to this country, if and when he actually leaves? we will get you some of those answers from our reporters on the ground in libba we will also take a closer look at hurricane irene which is now pounding puerto rico, it is on track for florida, and that would make this, or does this make this, i should say, the first hurricane which is projected to make land fall this season. so a lot of folks out on the east coast are watching very closely, and also, back to school bargains, if they seem kind of tough to find this year, it is because they are. so we will tell you why. we may not be able to ease the sticker shock but at least we can give you some of the information behind it. >> good to know.

erika, from "the early show," thanks for joining us today. >> "the early show" starting at 7:00 right here on cbs 5. thanks, erika. time now is 6:52. a possible headache for the ride home. how bart is preparing for another round of protests tonight. plus, chopper 5 is watching that house fire in redwood city. fire crews still keeping an eye out for hot spots. we will have an update on how this could be affecting your traffic in the area. that's coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[ male announcer ] who's your car's best friend? gasoline that cleans. chevron with techron. care for your car. good morning. welcome back. we're right out to chopper 5. fire crews and emergency crews are on the scene of this house fire in redwood city. so obviously, streets blocked off in that area. even hoe it looks like the fire is pretty much out. just a little bit of smoke still coming from the roof. so the intersection we're talking about here is hastings and fernside. still no word on a cause. but it may take fire investigators a while to figure that out. so select streets are blocked off in this mostly residential area for a while. for much of the morning commute. let's get a check of other freeways across the bay area. including the live look at the nimitz. so far looks great as you pass the coliseum. no delay up to downtown oakland. this is our backup.

the bay bridge. pretty good-sized wait for this time of the morning. extends to the 880 overcrossing and 5 minute wait or so -- 15 minutes wait or so to get you on the bridge. that's a check of traffic. back to you guys. >> elizabeth, thanks. 6:56. bart riders, be prepared once again. new protests tonight could pose big problems with your evening commute. unter hussen is in san francisco to tell us what is motivating the protest this time around and how bart is responding. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, frank. that's right. the group anonymous is planning a second day of action against bart beginning at 5:00 p.m. at the civic center bart station and if last monday is any indication of what is to come, bart riders can expect big delays to san francisco during the evening commute. anonymous says the issue is still bart cutting cell phone service to protesters on august 11. that's when demonstrators organized against the killing of a homeless man by bart police. and anonymous says they will not tolerate bart cutting cell phone

service saying it is a violation of civil liberties and unconstitutional. and there is a letter that says that intelligence reveals that individuals would be giving and receiving instructions to coordinate via cell phone. they go on to say that the interruption did prevent the planned coordination of illegal activity on bart platforms and the resulting threat to public safety. bart board says it will have a special meeting this wednesday to discuss the cell phone ban. the big story is the evening commute starting tonight at ak p.m. and anonymous will -- at 5:00 p.m. and anonymous will start their protest off and commuters plan accordingly with delays. two men are in serious continue this morning, after the violence at candlestick park. our cameras caught a number of fights in the stands, at saturday's preseason game between the 49ers and the riders. one of the injured men was beaten in a rest room. the other was shot in the parking lot. san francisco police are asking for help in identifying the suspects. muomar ghadafi opponents are celebrating in libya today.

this is as opposition forces say they now control about 95% of the capital city tripoli. and nato says it will continue combat air patrols over libya. until all of ghadafi's forces surrender. and ghadafi's where-abouts are still unknown. opposition fighters say that they have already captured two of his sons. big day on the international front. we will check slick deals to see if we can get a tablet for 99 bucks? all gone. sold out. >> you are still checking? >> our producer downstairs andy sent a note. >> selling on ebay for $500. >> and a little gray out there today, blame lawrence. >> by friday we're looking pretty good. a lot of sunshine coming our way. temperatures going to be warming up out there today. looking good in the afternoon. 80s in the valleys and 60s in the bay and 70s in toward the san jose area and cool toward the coast and warmer weather the next couple of days. and yes, we are looking good as we head toward next weekend and the temperatures heat up. how about this? frank and ad
