the security company that it hired announced it does not have enough guards to protect all of the olympic venues. the private company known as g-4s announced it was at least 3500 guards short of the agreed upon 10,000 guards. so today britain's government says it has deployed 1200 more troops to stand guard. more police officers are also stepping in to fill the gaps. here is the breakdown. almost 5,000 additional british troops are now on the clock and 9,000 police officers are on the ground, on the water and in the air. a defense expert says this is only going to make the games safer. >> who would you rather be looked after by, a group of people who are casual employees or the cheerful faces of the army and the police. >> in all, 18,200 military are involved in securing the games. beyond the human might there is

when the fire department arrived they said the fire had fully involved the unit. they did find two bodies inside, a man and woman, and their pet. and they don't know yet if they ever tried to make an escape, if there was a smoke detector that didn't alert them or perhaps they died in their sleep. the fire as i mentioned was contained to the one unit. there was smoke that travelled to the others so as a result if you look to the left you have a bunch of people who live in this building now without a home. in part because utilities are shut off also because of the smoke damage. they are talking maybe about 12 units, possibly 60 people, not all of them clearly are here right now. maybe 60 people without a place now. so red cross is on the way. as far as the cause, they don't believe this is suspicious but they don't know how it happened. there is an investigator here. so again, two people killed in a tragic apartment fire at the

breyers apartment in pleasant hill. no one else was hurt. a couple people were treated and released. the firefighters are okay as well. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. cisco systems adding lay off plans. >> scott, more than 1,000. >> that's in addition to the 6500 cuts it had already announced. cisco systems says it will lay off 1300 workers but hasn't said from what department or division. cisco is struggling pointing to the european debt crisis and declining sales to government and big business. 1300 is about 2% of the work force. the good news is most are highly technical engineers and there are jobs throughout for highly technical people. the bad thing is the additional 1300 may not be enough. >> a company doing well, apple,

will report its profits after the bell. some do expect a decline in iphone sales. people are not buying the iphone 4s, they think a 5 is around the corner. apple may be a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy market. we turn to kayla tausche. good morning. >> good morning. we have futures that are slightly lower this morning after the dow suffered again from case of the mondays. the dow closing down for the past eight mondays, the first time that happened in a decade. stocks did claw back from a sharp ly lower open. the dow has been down as much as 239 points on fresh concerns about europe and whether spain will need a full-blown bailout. there is no economic data but we get earnings from at&t, dupont, ups and apple. the dow losing 101 to 12,721 t

nasdaq falling 35 to 2890. and pepsi scores big at the super bowl. the soda giant has struck a multi-year deal to sponsor the halftime show. all-important halftime show. the last time pepsi sponsored was in 2007, when prince performed. the audience this year, a tidy 114 million when madonna performed. that trend continues. looks like a sweet deal for pepsi. >> i'm going to ask our direct tear give the camera a whack. there we go. today's agenda, the engineer from mozyla will demonstrate how to open hotel room doors using off the shelf technology. not every hotel room door but many of them. the hackers show off this technology to show that these

not just the queen. >> i keep that in mind. i keep up on my etiquette. that's how we approach her. we wait for the hand. >> stop. >> she laughs. 5:26. coming up, are you willing to pay higher taxes for services? you may not have to. we'll tell you about sales tax that could hit the peninsula. >> relieving her pain. a mother may have to sit through another murder trial even though a suspect has been convicted in the death of her husband and son. >> we give you a live look outside t palace of fine arts in san francisco. breath taking.

bob redell is live in pleasant hill with what firefighters are saying about this fire. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. and what the residents here are saying. we spoke to a neighbor of this young couple killed this morning in this fire in the apartment complex at the breyers apartment. she tells us it was a man and woman, that the girl had lived there recently invited her boyfriend to live with her. they were a young couple, perhaps around 23 years old. she tells us they both were smokers, though. the fire department has not determine what had the cause of this fire is. don't know if that had anything to do with the cause. they do not believe it's suspicious but they do tell us it was an intense fire, when they arrived around 3:30, this two-story apartment unit was already fully involved. we saw an image from a resident who took a picture of the fire. you can see the flames shooting out of the bottom and the top floor. when the fire department arrived they said the two people there

and one of their pets were dead. there is no indication whether or not they actually had a chance to try to escape or if perhaps they died in their sleep. part of this investigation will forrous on whether there was a smoke detector and whether or not it was working. the flames were contained to just the one unit. there is smoke that traveled through the attic affecting possibly four other units, as many as four others. and the entire building had its utilities off. as a result you have 12 units that have been evacuated. the fire department tells us that's about 60 people, some out here now in front of the apartment complex wrapped in blankets waiting for the red cross to arrive. two people suffered a little smoke inhalation but treated on the scene. so again t pleasant hill fire department -- conta costa fire department, excuse me, is trying to figure out what caused this fire and of course to remove the

bodies. we understand they are still inside. two people dead in this tragic fire at the breyer's apartment complex. two people with minor smoke inhalation. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> now to decision 2012. president obama is resting in san francisco this morning following a day of fundraising in the east bay. christie smith is live at sfo where air force one will take off in a few hours. >> reporter: good morning. it was certainly a busy trip to the bay area for president obama. three fund-raisers in hours in the east bay along the way he heard tears and jeers from the crowd. we're waiting for his departure from sfo after one last night here that ended at the fox theater in oakland where crowds rallied. some upset with a recent move to
