the woods shooting has sparked the latest outcry and a pretty significant one in large part because it was cots on camera by witnesses. the 26-year-old woods had just stabbed a stranger and ignored their commands to drop the knife in his hands. the sfpd adds one of the five officers who fired their guns is. but community protests and racism in police ranks have persisted since the shooting to mayor ed lee and police chief have pushed for a justice department investigation. as has the woods family through its attorney asking actually for two federal investigations. one into whether the five officers criminally violated woods' civil rights and a braurd investigation into whether there is a practice and pat in discrimination of the sfpd. calls for firings and disruptive of the mayor's inauguration and a brief shut down of the bay bridge shut down back on january 18th. protesters saying they're not done yet. as for the department of justice

that's really something that's just such hand-on public democracy. >> one thing that may impact the overall turnout is bad weather. a snow storm is due to roll in tonight. if that is the it case and it hits, some analysts believe that hillary clinton and senator ted cruz would benefit the most. we'll have a live report from des moines coming up at 6:30. you know, sam, we know it's going to be a close race tonight in iowa. the tech giant microsoft will tell those neck to neck votes. companies volunteering new microsoft app to tally the caucus results. it is supposed to cut down on human error and speed up the final results and apparently it is a hit with most of the candidates. both parties voiced confidence in microsoft after suspicion of corporate influence from democrat senator bernie sanders. happening today, the world health organization holds an emergency hearing to look for ways to combat the zika virus now spreading across parts of the globe.

glen drive. firefighters managed to knock it down pretty quickly and then they found a burned hoverboard. the exact cause of the fire not known, but the homeowner said he was charging that hoverboard before that fire started. other fires started by hoverboards in the bay area. last week a hoverboard caught fire in a petaluma home and did some damage before the homeowner was able to put out that fire and it it pred. a family lost their home and two dogs. the stock market has started to heat up a little bit here, but as far as how it's done in january, one of the worst januarys in years. >> yeah, it's been hurting. scott mcgrew, investors hoping silicon valley companies can help lift some stocks. >> investors have been really pleased with what we call the fang stocks lately. fang. i bet you can figure out what f.a.n.g. stands for. facebook, amazon, netflix and

google. these companies can do things that we can only just imagine today. just think ten years back. amazon used to only sell books and netflix mailed dvds. these four companies are changing the world. now, the g in fang is google or more properly called alphabet these days. it reports its profits this afternoon. we care for two reasons. first, tens of thousands of our friends and neighbors work for this company, right? secondly, alphabet will be for the first time breaking out to give us the profts and losses. this does two things. first, we'll know what these cookie companies do and how much they cost. robot cars and that's the search for ever lasting youth. we'll know the cost of all this. we'll know how much money google, the search engine actually makes because it won't be weighed down by these ventures. uber never misses an opportunity to self-mote and using the super bowl in its latest push. tomorrow uber will offer touch football games with former 49ers

by wednesday, once again, this second one moves in with some rain that doesn't look to last that long into the weekend. that's what we really care about, right? we will have drier weather moving in and temperatures warming up. so, the rain forecast brings us the of anywhere from 0.1 to 0.25 all across the bay area and then if you're going over to the sierra to escape all the madness here in the bay area, we will have a couple rounds of snow moving in tomorrow and then again on wednesday. when we get rain here, snow in the sierra. but it it doesn't look like it will a very heavy snow, but just enough to make those roads slick as you head out there and snowfall totals anywhere from 1 to 4 inches all across the sierra. our temperatures much warmer this weekend. we're talking low 60s on friday and some mid-60s for the south sxwa for the super bowl, we're up to 68 degrees on sunday with sunshine that just doesn't get any better than that. let's check in now with mike to see how the roads are moving.

incident reported across the bridge westbound with the taillights towards treasure island reports in the tunnel a stalled vehicle blocking your stalled and flow into and out of the tunnel. the volume we're concerned about. you see the slow drive from the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights are on into san francisco and so far the live shot that we see this traffic moving through treasure island tunnel and meanwhile a slower build through berkeley and out of richmond, as well. a heavier volume just over the last few minutes and the rest of the bay looks pretty good. smooth drive from hayward and north 101 has that burst over the last as well. slowing through san mateo. in the south bay the earlier crash is still there at 101 and those are adding to the slow downs through those sections. the rest of the bay, though, shows a pretty similar, typical drive through the south bay. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. coming up next, is it unethical. the move this morning in britain to edit the human genetic code.

one of the worst on record, scott mcgrew. one of the worst in years. >> worst january and worst for the nasdaq since 2008. can't hurt to start february with the celebrity ringing the bell. on the new york stock exchange miss piggy is good at hitting things. right now the markets not helped by the celebrity. dow industrials down about 100 points and nasdaq losing 30. we got the latest data on consumer spending. once again, americans are saving more. all that money we're not spending that gas pump going to our savings account. now, that's smart for families, but weirdly enough it actually hurts our economy. the latest talk about twitter has the company offering a board seat to oprah. just rumor and talk at this point, but as long as we're gossiping, also talk a private venture fund will buy twitter outright. and ellen took a lyft ride over the weekend except her driver was one of her former

jurors against her. paos lost her suit. she tweeted and asked if she should tip the regular amount and most people said, yes, indeed, she should. we were talking earlier i never tip a lyft or uber driver. i didn't know that was a thing. >> no one is going to pick you up. >> that is the whole point. you get in, you get out. no money changes hands. never occurred to me. >> all about convenience. thank you very much, scott. 6:47. outpouring of financial support may help a recently retired ohio police officer keep his best friend. >> marietta police officer matthew hickey retired after 30 years. he wanted his canine partner ajax to retire with him. but a state law says if an officer retires before the canine, the officer forfits the right to purchase the dog. ajax is considered valuable city property and he has to be put up for auction. to help increase the officer's

chances people in the community set up, you guessed it, a go fund me account and donations are quickly rolling in. more than $49,000 so far has been donated. >> hopefully and his dog can reunite. >> nobody bids on the dog but that officer. >> or maybe he doesn't retire just yet. a lot of options. >> lots of options. >> ajax, also the name of a cleaner if i'm not mistaken and very clean and fresh out there this morning, but cold, kari. >> it is cold. you can probably see your breath as you head out. also, you have to scrape some frost of the windshield in some spots. so, allow some extra time for that. as we take a live look now, golden gate bridge all clear. the tourists will have a nice, clear shot at a bridge this morning and sunshine all throughout the day. now, it is chilly. it it is only 45 degrees in san francisco and the peninsula. the east bay now at 38 degrees. let's drop in and get a closer look. the coolest temperature now in sunol, dublin 39 degrees and
