past two plus years. we're live in san francisco with the details. >> reporter: good morning to you. as far as the solution that they're talking about it costs roughly about $100 million to fix the problems we've seen over the past couple of years at the millennium towers. in that report, it says it would take roughly about a year and a half to fix the problem. here's more information from that article. homeowners are planning to submit a proposal later today to the department of building inspection in the city of san francisco. in that proposal they want to shore up that 58 story san francisco building, drilling more than 50 miles to bedrock. the purpose is to relieve the stress of soils that have caused it to settle. the goal by homeowners is to get a review by a panel of experts and start work on this in either late winter or early spring. our investigative unit has done a number of stories, you can see

top corporate leadership. >> now, to their credit, the ceo of twitter, jack dorsey and the number two at facebook, sheryl sandberg did show up. here's something worrying people on wall street. the yield curve is flattening. i know you haven't had your second cup of coffee, but let's go through it. when you lend the government money, the longer you lend the government money, the more money you expect in return. if you invest in a three year note, you don't expect much interest. a 30 year note you want more interest. this totally makes sense, right? all right. when the yield curve flattens, you're not making that much more money on a long investment than a short one. why do we care about this? it's often a sign that recession is possible. as for the gene editing, the chinese scientist who claims he edited the genes in two embryos is missing and some presume he's been arrested by chinese authorities. he horrified fellow gene researchers with this claim.

his technology, developed here in northern california, lets you edit genes. never been used on babies before. the babies were born healthy as far as we know. but there are dozens of ethical problems here. he presented this in hong kong last week, we saw some video of him. scientists could pick out the mistakes he had made in all of this. just one of the concerns in all of this. >> they don't know where he is? >> they don't, but the chinese government is not real transparent about who they've arrested and who they haven't. >> true. 6:15. new this morning, stanford, taking a step towards running on 100% renewable injury by the year 2021. the university says it's launching a second solar generating plant outside of fresno which will be up and running in three years. stanford has a plant in southern california. how does the intelligent work? stanford says there weren't bow a direct line to the campus, instead it's going to inject clean energy into the state's

beverage containers effective only in unincorporated parts of contra costa and county run departments. businesses would be given a six month grace period to use up their existing supply of containers. the containers they use to replace the styrofoam would have to be recycleable. styrofoam is not biodegradable. styrene is a possible human carcinogen. and the production of styrofoam contributes to the hole in the ozone layer. the california restaurant association, they oppose this proposed ban. according to the richmond standard, they argue that styrofoam containers keep food fresh and safe for eating and that switching to other containers would eat into the
