it to you. i'm quoting right here. "in order to govern the bark of st. peter and proclaim the gospel both strength of mind and body are necessary. strength which in the last few months has deteriorated in me to the extent i have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me." that coming from pope benedict xvi. announcing he will step down february 28th. >> one of the things everybody notices is his humility. in the beginning he shrugged compared to john paul ii i don't know if i'm up to this. with god's grace and mercy i'll give it my best shot. he's done well for almost eight years. a humble acknowledgement of his frailty and weakness. that has touched all of our hearts. >> reporter: those are comments from cardinal timothy dolan of the united states speaking this

morning on the "today" show. he along with the other cardinals will form a conclave. this will be after the pope steps down in february. they will meet mid march to decide who will be the next catholic leader of the catholic church. the pope will stay on board until 7:00 february 28th and then he'll retire in a residence in the vatican itself. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. as we mentioned, this doesn't happen very often. been over 600 years. pope benedict xvi not the first hope to step down. the best known example was back in 1294 when pope celestine v stepped down and pope gregory xii stepped down. a developing story from southern california this morning as the manhunt continues for the former l.a. police officer

"today in the bay's" marla tellez joins us live in our newsroom with a look at the search for the state's most wanted man. laura? >> reporter: so much of southern california is on edge especially since lapd is running short on new leads. since friday christopher dorner has gone silent though last night police in north ridge received two separate 911 calls from people thinking they spotted dorner inside this lowe's store. the store was evacuated but police say the reports turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. so the search does continue to focus on the area around big bear where some new developments happened over the weekend. police say they found a cache of weapons and camping gear inside dorner's burned out truck and also in a new twist, los angeles police say they are going to reopen dorner's case that originally closed back in 2009 when he was fired for making false complaints about his training officer and no doubt this is what dorner wants.

>> people think that maybe there is something to what he says. i want to put that to rest. the only way i know how to put that to rest is to review what is already been reviewed at multiple levels. >> termination would be just. it's a comprehensive process the department goes through. you don't just fire somebody without significant evidence or information. >> reporter: that was william bratton, the former police chief who signed off on dorner's firing. dorner is wanted for shooting and killing three people including riverside police officer michael crane and this morning we are learning crane's funeral is set for this wednesday. six days after dorner allegedly opened fire on him and his partner who is expected to survive. now, on friday i showed you a facebook page that has popped up for christopher dorner. over the weekend the support for him continues to grow and i'll show that to you in my next report. jon? >> okay. thank you very much. it's 6:05 right now.

journal" and "the new york times" say the matter may absolutely be true. >> they say apple is working on some kind of wearable device. not a watch exactly because a watch merely tells time. something more powerful. a communicator. a body monitor. maybe something that would take place of your cell phone as well and you know when they come out with apple watch the second you buy one they'll announce apple watch 2. tesla in the news as long as we're perusing the newspaper. "the new york times" took a drive in the tesla model s up the east coast and they ran out of electricity. they've been setting up charging stations about 250 miles just like out here but it's cold on the east coast and that reduces battery charge and ultimately the tesla had to be towed away. wall street no solid data to sink teeth into today. google chairman eric schmidt

return to scottsdale for spring training after an off-season that gave the team some time to reflect on all of the accomplishments of the past several years. it was great optimism regarding the season ahead and getting back to work as defending champs is a boost heading into spring training in arizona. >> it's a great feeling especially comments that were made like how well we played as a team and how we executed fundamentals. it makes a coach and manager feel good. >> coming out of it and coming out the way we did because last year wasn't about me once we got to the playoffs. it was about the team. put my mind in a different perspective to do what i could do again to take care of myself and work hard so that when i'm called upon as a starting pitcher or reliever that i can do my job and do it with confidence. >> the fact that it happened, it's real. you wake up every day. wait a minute. i'm going to push play fast. there's play. there it is again. yep. that's me.

different things will be spotlights on this team and we'll talk with giants about that coming up in just a bit like what is so important about this spring training coming in as defending champs. >> nice to defend that title. thank you very much. at&t pro-am at pebble beach. a lot of people focusing on the stars. this guy taking home the top prize this weekend. he's now ranked number 4 in the world. a family affair there. we hear he's heading off with the family to maui before leading up to a stretch of tournaments leading up to the important masters. also celebrating a win. the cal men's basketball team. they beat number seven ranked arizona 77-69. this is cal's second upset of a top ten team this month. you'll recall cal beat number 10 oregon on february 2nd. >> we are closing into a very cool time. march madness just around the corner in college basketball. that will be upon us soon.

28th because of health reasons. this is the first time a pope has stepped down in almost 600 years. even those inside the vatican were surprised by this decision. a decision the supreme pontiff has been pondering for some time. the pope's brother telling a german news agency he had been thinking about resigning for the past few months because he's tired, it's becoming harder for him to walk and his doctor recently advised him to stop taking transatlantic trips. his brother calls this resignation part of the "natural process." catholics we spoke to this morning believe after eight years of the pope, he'll leave behind a strong legacy. >> he made this year the year of faith and that has been his push. the people regain the faith in god that they should have. the world is going to hell in hand basket literally. so his push was to get people together to believe that there is a god. believe that god is with you. believe that you need to change.

and that's basically his message. >> regardless of the pope, we still have the faith and so we just keep going. >> reporter: this is part of the pope's statement. it reads "after having repeatedly examining my conscience before god i have come to the certainty that my strength to advanced age are no longer suited to adequate exercise of the ministry. i'm well aware that ministry due to spiritual nature must be carried out not only with words and deeds but no less with prayer and suffering." . the pope will step down on february 28th. a conclave of cardinals will gather in march to select his successor. reporting live outside st. christopher, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. it's 6:46 right now. christina loren joins us once again. you come bearing good news and gifts for us weatherwise. >> i do as usual. we're not going to get any rain. that rain was not very pleasant
