but will it hold? "today in the bay's" peggy bunker is here with the latest on this developing story. good morning. >> good morning. that really is the big question. after the deadliest day yet in kiev independence square with 100 protesters dead, an all night session has ended with progress ending the conflict. thursday saw the physical fighting at its worst. opposition groups once again said they lost 100 people, the ukraine government disputes that number, they say 77 people died in the violence. with only two options, more violence or a resolution, ukrainian president viktor yanukovych agreed to an emergency session with the foreign ministers from germany, france and poland and opposition leaders. negotiations went all night, they ended about 7:20 you crane time. announced a deal had been made and that a quote coalition government would now be formed.

this picture here is the reality of the tides of power shifting in the past 48 hours. a couple days ago police seemed to be burning the protesters out. after protesters took police hostage and began to gain ground, police boarding buses, escort bid the protesters, the opposition, in what became the only obvious way for the police to escape unharmed. so you see them ushering them on the buses. let's take you live now to independence square, take a look at the camp. this protest has been going on about three months, really only exploding into violence in the past week. it should be noted that really it's way too early to assume that this resolution reached will end the violence there in kiev. after all will have been two truces so far, neither of them prevented the deadly wave of violence we witnessed on tuesday and thursday. >> thank you.

an army combat veteran, possibly having served in vietnam. he encountered gun fire again last night from an intruder in his home where for several hours this morning you can see in this video police have been processing the scene, bringing in evidence in brown paper bags and a long object, would not say whether it was a rifle or something else. what is remarkable is that this homeowner was not hurt during this encounter. considering what happened it was around 8:00, a man broke into his home and started firing several shots at him, missing him. the homeowner grabbed his gun and fired back, hitting that intruder at least once, the wounded man hopped into a car, sped off. his accomplice dropped him off at a hospital where he was pronounced dead. no word on the location of the man who was driving the car or was with the intruder. the homeowner did call 911 and by all appearances is cooperating with police. police tell us that this, the eighth homicide this year for the city of san jose, was an act

reached to reduce the president's power and end the conflict taking place in the heart of kiev. peggy bunker is here with more. >> after the deadliest day in kiev's independence square an all-night emergency session has ended with progress in ending the conflict and you crane's president viktor yanukovych announces he will give up some power and hold early elections. this after thursday saw the fighting at its worst with opposition groups saying 100 people had been killed while the government says it's more like 77 that died. faced with either allowingsing the violence to continue or reduce his power he agreesed to that emergency session with germany, france and poland and opposition leaders. negotiations lasted all night long. at 7:00 this morning you crane time the president did announce a deal had been made and quote a coalition government would be formed. however, after that announcement here we go again. fighting broke out not in the streets but in ukraine's parliament.

it's not the first time we've seen this in ukraine. seems on a yeefrly basis we see fist fights break out. it happened after the speaker announced there would be a delay in the debate how to reducian you covich's power. punches were thrown, people took off coats and threw them. back outside now as we take to you a live look here of independence square, you can see it looks rather calm. you see some of the tent city there is that propped up from the protesters camped there for three months. we should note it's too early to assume this resolution reached will end the violence. is there have been two truces. neither of them prevented the deadly violence we have seen over the past week. >> thank you. >> today, farmers could find out how much water they get from the federal government. last year some warmers got 20% of what is considered normal

this, i for one am, let's see if mike is. >> yeah, because that's going to mean a lot of stuff for me to report on chp. be careful. the last reports i have that means less of you are involved in anything out there. looking toward 580, more of us all on the roadway right about now. starting to build for the tri-valley in out of the altamont pass. this is not a problem as far as the flow at this scene. we're looking over toward the map. the same area marked with the arrow. a slower drive for 84 through livermore, typical pattern there. you head north and approach danville and sycamore valley road, as a result of that pursuit there is some activity but the off ramp remains open. no outstanding suspects and no major injuries, that's good news. we'll track that on the news center as well. the flow of traffic is not affected by that activity. a smooth drive across the antioch bridge t northbound side

reopened. and westbound highway 4 starts that slowdown we see out of antioch. moving at seeds toward the bay bridge. and the south bay starting a little build now. back to you. >> the fix is on the way for a dangerous stretch of roadway on the peninsula. some belmont residents say ralston avenue between 101 and 92 not safe. too crowded for cyclists and daunting for drivers. more than 700 people signed a petition asking the council to make it safer. the city is paying a consulting firm, $150,000, to come up with a solution. some of the recommendations may include adding a round about, lane reductions and new traffic snols. >> a live look this morning from sochi. we learned who will be carrying the flag in the closing ceremony. >> as the u.s. men get ready, a
