pittsburgh. it is sponsored by the community wellness and prevention program. developing and deadly news. flooding in asia claimed at least 20 lives. scott joins us with the latest. >> good morning. the word we are getting out of vietnam is at least 20 people were on a bus and the bus was swept away by floodwaters. i don't have video from that scene. here's the video of the philippines. they are calling this a super typhoon. i believe i'm pronouncing this right. meggy. that means catfish in korean. it ripped across the south china sea and here you see the philippine islands. at least 20 dead in vietnam as the bus was swept away by flood waters. 10 people are missing. as we find out more, we will bring it to you. >> tragic. thank you very much. the city of san jose requires homeowners to have at least one tree on their property. the city doesn't maintain the

trees. when bad weather strikes and the trees fall, there is a lot of confusion about who should clean it up. chris sanchez is live where a new partnership starts today. solving a dangerous dilemma with the city trees. good morning, chris. >> no surprise that there so many tree-lined streets in the city. it does require each to have at least one street tree. that's lick this alarm almaden boulevard. the problem is that trees need maintenance and the city does not provide assistance to homeowners with that. a lot of homeowners don't know they are responsible for maintaining the trees. this is a lesson that a family in san jose learned painfully in january as a giant tree fell on to a truck in front of their property and crushed the family, trapping them inside, cultimately killing a 2-year-old boy. it was a 60-foot maple tree with

root rot. an arborist said it would be impossible to know that tree was in danger of falling without the services of an arborist. that costs money. sometimes as much as $400 per tree for trimming and maintenance. that's the reason for the partnership between the city and ground works funded by local business. they will be going through downtown, trimming the trees today and on through december. that may not help you, but the tree tips might. here's what to do to make sure the trees are safe. you should try to do a structural pruning every four to five years when they cutoff the dangerous limbs, anything in danger of falling and keeping the shape of the tree as well. make sure they have an adequate water supply. when you plant new young trees, water them deeply because they develop a deeper root system and come rainy season, you don't have the worry of that tree losing the root system.

arborists is how you can get ahold of them and or contact your local city to see what the quite lines are for your trees. regardless of whether you live in san jose, the rainy season is am can be and that means we should be concerned about the trees in our own cities. the palm trees will be the first to be prune and that will start today. they will be working on the trees through december around downtown san jose. chris sanchez today in the bay. >> thank you very much. new guidelines for pediatricians. they are told to start asking kids how much television and computer time they get. the american academy of pediatrics issued in the new policy after a study linked excessive screen time to attention problems, obesity and sleep and eating disorders. they are supposed to ask about media habits and whether they have access to the tv or
