we could see it here late sunday into monday and could see more systems moving in behind that. we do have a lot to watch out for with the potential of some weekend showers here and the snow developing in parts of the sierra. i'll have more on what we can expect in the near term with the chilly temperatures. mike, hopefully your numbers are dipping as well. >> they're better than last week. let's take a look. we did a pretty good job, well, it's out there. you did it, right? you're reporting to gas buddy. we have under $5, a couple of these numbers here. the arco in san jose where it's $4.89, costco in concord on monument boulevard at $4.67. a little above the $5 in marin at the arco on redwood, $5.07. roadways looking standard. much better than later on this

we've reported he has told investors he will lay off most employees. twitter insiders say the really good ones are already leaving. a lot of foreign news affecting the markets today. shares of chinese companies like alibaba trading on american markets are poised to move much lower after the news the head of the chinese communist party xi jinping will serve another term. with his power solidified investors worry he may crack down on some of china's moves towards capitalism even as china's economy slows. so that's one country, and then there's great britain. the uk's economic outlook downgraded to negative by moody's. you remember the country's shortest serving prime minister announced she was resigning after the markets and the pound plunged all because of her economic policies, policies that never even took effect. now rishi sunak, the country's former treasurer, warned over

and over truss' economic policies would be a disaster. he warned his party not to appoint her. now it looks like he is going to be the next prime minister. truss' economic plan had its roots in something called supply side economics or trickle-down economics. most economists say it does not work. kansas tried it once and nearly bankrupted itself. so this weekend a clip of a former trump economic adviser, larry kudlow, praising trickle-down economics saying the republicans should try it here was passed around a lot on social media. >> well, the new british prime minister, liz truss, has laid out a terrific supply side economic growth plan which looks a lot like the basic trust of kevin mccarthy's commitment to america's plan. let's start with truss. she is slashing tax rates and deregulating energy. i just love it. that's the liberal business media.

you know who i'm talking about. they are now trashing her plan. that tells me truss has it exactly right. >> well, she had it exactly wrong. supply side sounds good on paper. you cut the business tax, you cut rich people's taxes and they spend the money and it trickles down to the rest of the people, except it doesn't. >> it didn't. >> it historically doesn't t. didn't work in britain and they're going to not do it. >> short career. >> i always wondered how does that work? that's how i always felt. >> and you were right, a budding economist. >> oh, thank you, scott. 5:16 for you this morning. all right, so get ready for more of those ads the next time you download an app on your iphone. this is because starting tomorrow apple will be rolling out two more ad categories for the app store according to an email. apple plans to sell space within the today tab and at the bottom of individual app listings. it will feature an icon with a
