Sources tell me the people in the explorer may not have known they were firing at a cop. Its unclear what led up to the shooting. On duty oakland officers soon spotted the explorer and began chasing it in east oakland. Speeds are about 70 miles per hour. Blowing traffic at 94th avenue going eastbound continuing.

But sessions is not resigning. Democrats say what hes done is not enough. Reporter congress will continue to investigate whether russia meddled in last years president ial campaign. So will the justice department, but u. S. Attorney general Jeff Sessions will not play a role. Attorney general Jeff Sessions firing back, taking aim at democrats who say he needs to resign after failing to dislose a meeting with russias u. S. Ambassador during last years campaign. While sessions served on the Senate Armed Services committee. I think it was hiked beyond reason and i think it was unfair. Reporter sessions says when he was asked about russia during his confirmation hearings he denied contacts because they didnt involve campaign issues. Never the last he made this call. I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump Campaign. Reporter still, its not enough for Many Democrats who are calling for sessions to resign. The fact that attorney general, the top cop in our country, lied under oath to theamerican people is grounds for him to resign. Mr. President , do you still have confidence in the attorney general, sir . Total. Reporter President Trump gave sessions his report during a visit to virginia. But for sessions the real problem came when other republicans joined the course. If there is an investigation, then Jeff Sessions should step aside because hes part of the campaign team. Reporter other criticism of sessions seemed to strike wide of the mark though. Missouri democratic senator Clair Mccaskill who serves on Arms Services just like sessions did tweeted this. Ive been on the Armed Services committee for ten years. No call or meeting with Russian Ambassador ever. Ambassadors call members of the Foreign Relations committee. The problem .

The direction getting up through the morgan hill area and eventually driving up to san jose, continues to be a very nice drive with no trouble in san jose right now.

If they cant get the trains out of the yard a long time obviously that will be an issue. Well check in with bart again very soon. Lets bring steve in. Thank you, sal. A little bit of an increase in fog and a few high clouds. Well get morning sun but increasing clouds throughout the day. Up on the north coast probably rain late but more likely overnight into tomorrow. For us, tomorrow afternoon, evening into sunday it will be cooler. A couple of very nice days. Cloud cover will continue to roll in. Just high cloud cover. 30s but more 40s now. Each day weve been going up a little bit. I would think that trend would continue today, even though its still cold here. Brentwood at 40 degrees. 43 martinez. Easterly or northeasterly breeze still in place but i expect that to turn more southerly here. 42 down in monterey. Cresten city, plenty of time to take care of things but radar returns showing up, i think would be much later. Increasing clouds and overall a couple of things going on. Thats the source of our system coming down that will sweep through saturday night and sunday. A lot of moisture streaming into arizona for those of you heading to spring training or watching us now. Doesnt look like much in the way of rain but looks cloudy. Most staying on the desert side of california. For us were focusing on this system coming in. It will give us increasing clouds today and saturday, rain on the way, not a lot. Im using the european forecast model for the rainfall because its better. Thats why i use it. Twothirds of an inch, half inch to about twothirds of an inch seems to cover it. Bymonday morning were on the drier side and then well get a break next week. It will be a cool weekend system. I would think the primetime would be late saturday night into early sunday. So before that, not much. After that, not much. That will be the main window. If youre heading up to the sierra, one to two feet starting off 5500, maybe 6,000 feet but getting way down there by the time we get to sunday night into monday. 50s a cull of areas holding on maybe east and south to mid 60s.

Shares of its Parent Company snap soared more than 40 on its first day of stock trading. Stock closed yesterday above 24 a share. Up from the initial Public Offering price of 17 a share.

After the ipo, the investment is said to be worth between 20 million and 50 million. Thats a nice rate of return. I think thats pretty good. There are reports the school sold twothirds of its shares raising 24 million.
