with the latest on the developing story let's go to peggy bunker. good morning. >> good morning. the actual number of people killed in this conflict is in dispute, opposition forces report about 100 killed, the ukraine government says no, it's about 77 who have died in the conflict. the ukrainian president has agreed to relinquish some power after a peace deal that bartered his power and lasted all night long. that emergency session was held last night with foreign ministers from russia, germany, france and poland and opposition leaders, that is a key fact to take note of. the talks went on all night ending about with 7:30 this morning and described as being extremely difficult. in that same website announcement he announced a coalition government will be formed, one that includes opposition forces. after that was posted, fighting broke out not in the streets but in ukraine's parliament.

that was just the beginning of this braul. it escalates. you see shirts come off, bell throw coats, chairs tipped over. it broke out after the speaker who is a close ally of the president announced there would be a delay in the debate how to reduce the president's power. the chamber erupted over that. they were ready to make those decisions. and punches started to be thrown. this is not uncommon. there are so many brawls there you can pick them out basically about one a month. it should be noted that the deal not yet signed. many are holding their breath to see if it will hold. previous truce agreements did not but those deals did not have foreign ministers i in on the agreement like this one does. >> thank you, peggy. san jose homeowner says he had no choice but to shoot a man trying to break into his home. the shooting happened last night at a home on pine ridge way near clayton road not far from mount pleasant high school. that's where bob redell joins us

live. officers just left the scene there. >> reporter: about an hour ago. good morning to you, scott. after several hours here at this home processing the scene, collecting evidence, we saw them bringing out items in brown paper bags including one long object in a brown paper bag. when i asked the crime scene tech or the detective if that was a rifle they wouldn't say. this happened around 8:00 last night. the homeowner here according to a neighbor is an army combat veteran, possibly having served in vietnam, was inside when someone broke into his home and started firing shots at him. remarkably, he was unscathed, the shooter missed, but the homeowner pulled out his gun and started firing back and hit the intruder at least once. he tells police that the intruder hopped into a car with another man, they sped off. they were headed to a hospital, the accomplice left the intruder at the hospital, no word on

where the accomplice is at but the intruder was pronounced dead at the hospital. by all appearances the homeowner is cooperating with police, he is the one who did call 911 and so far police are calling this an act of self defense. this is the eighth homicide this year for the city of san jose. police telling us, again, this was an act of self defense, a man breaking into another man's house, a situation where he had to fire back and that person, the intruder, was shot and killed. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. 6:04. today san jose state will hold the second in a series of public meetings about campus hate crimes. the task force was formed to create new policies after four students were arrested accused of bullying a black student on campus. the group is considering new rules and policies. one of the suggestions in a previous meeting was diversity training for all students. today's meeting is 5:30 at the
