valley. >> that's right. we are going to have more from here in a little bit. first, the day's news. president obama set to deliver a major speech today on the middle east. today in the bay's tracie potts is live in washington this morning. we understand the president could ask the leader of syria to step down. >> reporter: laura, good morning. good morning, everyone. president obama, today, giving his first major policy speech since osama bin laden's death. the white house says he will focus on the broader middle east. what's happening in these countries where we have seen so much unrest. the president will say, according to the white house that not only military action is necessary but also that we need to focus on economic solutions. he'll argue that the problem is that people there are frustrated. they have no jobs. they have no or little voice in their government. he is expected to propose $1

billion in aid for egypt in addition to cancelling $1 billion in debt. more aid for tunisia. when it comes to syria, the u.s. just announced sanctions, the question is whether or not the president will suggest or ask the president to step down as we saw with mubarak in egypt. that is still under wraps. we don't know if that will be part of his speech. the white house is putting more pressure on syria to deal not so violently with the pro-democracy meetings we are seeing there. they are pushing for a two-state solution there. the real challenge for the president, laura, is going to be whether or not he can convince americans we can afford to and we need to provide this much economic aid to that region, given all the problems we have here at home. >> a lot to look into. thank you very much. tracie potts live from washington this morning. now for a look at the rest

of the day's news, we want to check in with marla tellez. you have more information including how a bay area man died in yosemite. >> i do. we know what killed the berkeley man while hiking. an autopsy report shows 34-year-old jason dunbard died of a heart attack, not a fall. he may have tripped and hit his head on a rock. he was a popular sioux chef and avid hiker. a memorial will be held next week in la fayette. a top washington will be on the pipeline. ray lahood will tour south san francisco this afternoon. his agency oversees the gas pipelines. we wants to see the repair work done. he will take a look at pg&e's

to see my brother just laying there with these involuntary movements, it's really hard. >> what makes you want to cry? >> just wondering if he can hear us in there. if he's fighting his way back. if he feels trapped. i have all those running through my head where it would be hard if he's trapped in there and he's fighting to get his way back. >> he'll move his lips. he's not trying to make words. he just moving his lips. it's hard to see. it's something. doctors say it's encouraging that he's got that much movement. >> doctors say stow has not had a seizure since arriving in san francisco earlier this week. they will continue to monitor his brain activity. by the way, the giants won last night, 8-5. cody ross hitting a home run in
