america competitive and creating jobs. but what republicans here on the hill want to hear is what he'll do about the nation's deficit and the nation's debt, which is about to hit a ceiling possibly as early as late march. the president says that the debt and the deficit need to be addressed in a responsible way. now, hours before he makes that speech tomorrow, congress will vote. in fact, republicans in the house will press a vote on the budget rolling it back to what we were spending in 2008. and they say nothing, even possibly defense spending, should be immune from the cuts. democrats are concerned that the cuts will cost thousands of jobs, especially for teachers. so tomorrow they are all looking to president obama to sort of lay out some direction on how to spend less in the federal government plus recreate jobs. the president says he wants to protect education. brent? >> thank you for the update. we'll be watching that address tomorrow evening. the time is 5:44. good morning, everybody.

thank you for joining us. i'm brent cannon. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. we have traffic and weather coming up, but first developing news that we are following. police discover a body inside the remains of a car that caught on fire last night. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live in san francisco with the very latest. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura, here in the lower eighth section of san francisco on webster. that side street is rose. you can see the car you were mentioning. there's the backside of it. it looks like a pontiac grand am sedan. this is a joint investigation between police and fire department because they are trying to figure out if this was arson. and police are trying to figure out if this was murder. the call came in at 3:30 this morning when the fire department arrived to find the car fully engulfed. at least the cabin portion of it was. the way it is situated that makes it more suspicious is it is parked the wrong way not in a parking spot. it is parked the wrong way facing the wrong direction down

rose street, which is basically a long alleyway bordered by apartment buildings on either side. when the fire department arrived they put the fire out and did find the body of a person in the passenger side of the car. the body has been burned so badly they have not been able to make an identification. can you tell me whether this person was killed because of the fire or if they were already dead and their body burped in the fire? >> that past or the the investigative process. the body has been severely damaged in this fire. we don't know at this point if this person was killed before or if the person died in the fire. we don't know at this point. >> reporter: what's happening right now is the crime scene investigators have arrived to do their job. then the coroner can go in to remove the body. what's going to help police is the fact that there's presumably going to be some witnesses because this neighborhood is so densely packed. perhaps maybe someone who was asleep inside heard something just outside their window. that's why police have been

going around the neighborhood trying to find witnesses. another thing that could help them are surveillance cameras. behind our camera position there's a surveillance camera pointed directly at the scene. whether that surveillance camera was pointed at the scene at the time that this happened is to be determined. reporting live in san francisco, bob redell, "today in the bay." thank you, bob. >> we'll be checking in with him throughout the course of the morning. it is 5:47. let's check your monday morning forecast. it is kind of hard to go back to work on monday after weather like that. >> yeah, i bet nobody wants to go to work with conditions hike this. the good news is we'll see another weekend with beautiful weather. that's what it looks like right now. warmer in some cities heading into friday than where we were this past weekend. if you don't have a chance to take the day off work, we have more great weather coming to you this weekend. 47 in santa cruz. by noon temperatures will climb towards that 58-degree mark. and for us that means
