a live look outside from our sutro tower camera. the golden gate bridge as the sun shines down on another gorgeous morning here in the bay area. thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. yesterday was lovely. so hope for today. yeah, we just have a few sprinkles to get through this morning, but then we'll enjoy another mild day. we go over to oakland. there are some overcast skies right now. we'll keep it that way as we get ready for the black joy parade starting around 1230. but those clouds that we have in this weekend. picture courtesy of that storm system up to the pacific northwest. so we zoomed in with storm ranger. we did have some sprinkles up there towards sonoma county. now it's pushing a little bit east towards solano county and down into parts of evy along richmond, elsa, bronte, that area. you might see some drizzle out there towards the peninsula coast as we push this activity out in the next couple of hours.

so expect those cloudy skies, those mild numbers continuing for our sunday fun day plans. we'll get through some little bit of sprinkles there for monday, but keep on boosting those temperatures up through the workweek. i'll have the full details coming up in about 15 minutes. kira. all right, cinthia, thanks. we begin with the overnight search for a gunman continuing this morning on the peninsula in the typically quiet, upscale community of hillsboro. police say that one of their officers was ambushed and shot in broad daylight just before 4 p.m. yesterday. the officer was able to return fire, but it's unclear whether the gunman was hit. it happened in the rear parking lot of the hillsboro police station on floribunda avenue. that's just off of el camino real, not far from downtown burlingame. the shooter ran away, forcing a public safety alert. people who live in homes surrounding the police department were told to shelter in place and lock their doors and windows. several police agencies and sheriff's

departments responded to assist in that search. our crews saw swat officers, guns drawn, going yard to yard. neighbors were shocked and told us they've never seen anything like that i hillsboro. luckily, the injured police officer is expected to make a full recovery. you can get the latest updates on our website nbcbayarea.com. we will continue to follow any updates as they come in. you can also download our mobile app to get a reports sent straight to your phone. an attempted armed robbery in the east bay ended with the gunman shot and killed. this happened before midnight friday at a convenience store in concord on willow pass road. police say a person with a shotgun told one employee to open the store safe. that's when another worker shot that thief who died at the scene. it's unclear whether that employee will face charges. police in pennsylvania continue to investigate why a man held hostages and shot several people inside a york county hospital.

one responding police officer was killed. authorities identifying him as officer andrew duarte. the gunman was shot and killed by officers. the surviving victims are all reported to be in stable condition. an east bay woman says she was the target of racist hate in her brand new neighborhood, and now community members are rallying around her. we have video from yesterday's rally at hillcrest knolls park, where dozens of people came out to support this woman, sonia reed. reed says she recently bought a home in san leandro, but hasn't moved in yet because of construction. last week, she says she went to the home and found a racist phrase spray painted on her fence. we do have a photo of that. it says no black, but has since been painted over with flowers and the words love welcome. reed says this isn't her first time encountering racism in san leandro, and says she is appalled by how she's been

treated since purchasing that new home. i do not feel supported by some of the people. i do feel supported by some of the people, but i don't even know what kind of support i could really be looking for. i just i'm appalled. the chronicle reports the alameda county sheriff's office is investigating the incident as a hate crime. it's not clear yet whether investigators have identified the person who did it. we have reached out to investigators. we are awaiting to hear back. israel is now delaying the release of 600 prisoners until the release of the next hostages by hamas has been assured. hamas, as we reported, released six hostages yesterday morning. it was supposed to be the seventh and final exchange as part of the first phase of the israel-hamas ceasefire agreement, but israel apparently did not fulfill its end of that promise yesterday.

israel might release those palestinian prisoners if a second deal is agreed upon. hamas says the decision marks a violation of the ongoing agreement. meanwhile, developing this morning, pope francis remains in critical condition after he experienced an asthma attack yesterday. the vatican says he had a tranquil night at rome's hospital, and that he is still using high flow oxygen nose pieces. the 88 year old pontiff was admitted to the hospital back on valentine's day for bronchitis. earlier last week, the vatican announced he had developed pneumonia in both lungs. the pontiff was receiving oxygen and a blood transfusion yesterday morning when doctors say he experienced a, quote, asthmatic respiratory crisis. this morning, pope francis says he is continuing with the necessary treatment and that rest is a part of his therapy. he thanked the doctors and

health workers who have helped him. back here in california, we have a follow up out of southern california. a ski patroller who was caught in an avalanche on mammoth mountain last week has died. it happened on valentine's day. you may recall we told you about two patrollers who were conducting avalanche mitigation after a significant snow storm hit mammoth, but the pair got caught in an avalanche slide. rescuers were able to dig out one patroller who was not hurt, but the other patroller, clare murphy, was rushed to the hospital. mammoth mountain confirmed she did pass away from her injuries. it's getting down to the wire in san mateo county and for its embattled sheriff, christina corpus. six new voting centers opened ahead of the critical vote coming up on march 4th. voters in san mateo county will decide on measure a. it's a ballot initiative that would allow the board of supervisors

to remove the sheriff from office. sheriff corpus is refusing calls to step down after an independent audit accused her of abusing her power and using retaliation and intimidation in her office. corpus has denied all of those allegations. during a sitdown interview with our telemundo 48 team this week, corpus argued voters have the power to recall her if they want to. she is accusing the board of supervisors of a power grab with this ballot measure. corpus also says if voters do pass measure a, she plans to fight it in court. the special election is coming up on march 4th in san francisco. there are deep divisions over supervisor joel engardio, who represents the sunset district. both his supporters and critics of the embattled district four supervisor hosted dling actions yesterday. activists with the recall engardio campaign were stationed at more than 20 locations across the

sunset district, gathering signatures. they say the recall effort is about accountability. they are upset about a push to permanently close part of the great highway to motor vehicles, creating traffic and what they say are public safety concerns. voters in district four are entitled to a representative that represents their interests and their desires, and he knew that they were against the closure. and so what price is someone willing to pay to have representative democracy? we should mention that san francisco voters did pass that overwhelmingly to close the great highway. meanwhile, an anti-recall rally yesterdayld morning at the united irish cultural center. engardio called on sunset residents to reject his recall. several other elected officials were there as well, including state senator scott wiener, president of the board of supervisors rafael mandelman, and fellow supervisor

matt dorsey. supporters called the effort to unseat engardio wasteful and driven by only one issue. our next step is a campaign is to get all of these amazing supporters ready to be talking with voters out in the out in the sunset about why this recall is so wasteful and unnecessary when joel is up for reelection next year anyways, and a recall will not change the outcome of prop k. organizers of the recall campaign have until may 22nd to gather 10,000 signatures from registered voters in district four to create that special election. it is nine past the hour on your sunday morning. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up, as we do every sunday, we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with kristen welker, who has a preview of

issued a load of pardons, some controversial and enacted retribution on his political opponents. his approval rating is higher than at this point in his first term, but they do appear to be slipping. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of meet the press. hi, kristen, great to see you on this sunday morning. i wanted to start by telling you that i read an interesting quote on nbc news.com, fittingly referring to the beginning of the trump administration's second term, saying, quote, history shows honeymoons don't last long. so what do we know about how americans are responding to trump's return to office? well, i think kira great to be with you. you hit it. one of the critical numbers 45%. president trump's approval rating, which is a little bit lower when he first took office. so it seems like his honeymoon

period might be ending. but look, it's a little bit lower than where we traditionally see presidents at this point in time and yet higher than where he was at this point in his first term. here's the other figure. i'm looking at 57%. 57% of respondents say they believe president trump is going too far, overreaching the powers that he has as president, with those executive actions slashing the federal government. and so those are some of the figures that i think that are very telling. as we watch president trump and elon musk take a sledgehammer to some of these government agencies, we're starting to see pushback in town halls all across the country with voters really trying to apply pressure to republican lawmakers in republican areas. kira so that's really, i think, e thing to watch here, will that start to bubble up and apply pressure to the white house? so far, it hasn't. president trump saying to elon musk get more aggressive. elon musk saying that he will do that. so that's where it's

trending right now. but if over time we start to see more of this pressure mount, could that change? kyra, we're going to be talking to the great steve kornacki. he is going to delve into all of these numbers that we are getting that really tell the tale of where we are in this first month, kyra. oh, and he always has such a great breakdown. i also know you have exclusive interviews with senators from oklahoma and new jersey. so good to have all the perspectives this morning. christian. as always, thank you for that preview and we hope you join christian for this morning's meet the press. as mentioned, she will have those exclusive interviews with senator markwayne mullin of oklahoma and senator cory booker of new jersey, as well as steve kornacki, with the breakdown behind president trump's numbers during his first month in office. if you just stick right here with us for today in the bay, meet the press is on at 8 a.m. right after our newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we will take a look at president trump's recent claims that ukraine started the war with russia, which, by the way, tomorrow marks three years

since the invasion. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston will appear for our weekly segment. back here locally, a trio of orphaned mountain lion cubs are getting settled into their new home at the oakland zoo. the zoo rescued these babies, named fern, thistle and spruce, last month after their mom was killed by a car near portola valley. they're all about three months old, we're told. since then, they've been at the oakland zoo, recovering and getting used to new life. the oakland zoo says it's slowly introducing the cubs to new people, so they get used to having humans in their lives. the cubs will not return back to the wild since they lack the proper survival skills. instead, the zoo says it's working with state fish and wildlife to find them a more permanent home. happening tonight? grab your gardening gloves and be ready to bury your secrets for the latest

nbc premiere. it's called grosse pointe garden society. here's what they don't tell you when you join a garden club. once you mix a bunch of different flowers together, we all may look perfect on the surface, but you never really know what's growing underneath. oh, boy. the show follows four members of a suburban garden club who find their lives upended by scandal, mischief and a murder no one wants to talk about. our marcus washington recently spoke with series stars ben rappaport and annasophia robb, whose characterstruggle to hold on to their shared secret with each episode. it's narrated by a different character, so you have the four garden society members, but then you continue. the world continues to grow, and it's this interconnected web. and as you as the show progresses, it's like, wait, is it this person?

you can watch the season premiere of grosse pointe garden society, or i also suppose it's the series premiere tonight at 10:00 pm, right here on nbc bay area, following the america's, voiced by tom hanks and suits la joi nature. happy new year. oakland's chinatown was bustling yesterday for the city's third annual lunar new year parade. the route was bigger this year. it spanned nine blocks from wilma chan park through ninth street. the event was nearly at risk of not happening because of oakland's budget issues, but a last minute sponsorship by san leandro hyundai kept it moving. we should note nbc bay area is a proud sponsor of the event, celebrating culture and community today. thousands of people will gather in downtown oakland for the eighth annual black joy parade. the event puts

a spotlight on black businesses, artists and performers from across the east bay. each year, the parade honors local icons who work to improve the community. last night, some of our colleagues had the honor of hosting an event honoring those icons. the black joy parade is today in downtown oakland. the parade route has changed this year. it will travel down broadway starting at 14th, and then it ends at grand avenue. it starts at 1230. thankfully, that rain we were seeing isn't here, but i heard there might be some sprinkles today. hopefully it doesn't get in the way of the black joy parade. we don't need those ponchos there that we saw in 2023. it will be a great time. while it will look a little gloomy in those skies, it's going to be dry. and once you get dancing and singing, those mid 60s are going to feel a little bit warmer there in oakland. so go on and have a good time. say hi to our friends

that are going to be there today. we are looking at the mix of sun and clouds for this morning. actually making those numbers feel a little bit mild. upper 40 through san jose, palo alto 50 right now through walnut creek and san francisco. this morning we have had some sprinkles that have popped up in the north bay. it is pushing that activity and it's very weak through parts of right there, through benicia, out there towards the delta. and they will start to fade away as we go on into the second half of the day here. so we start with those 40s and 50s, those cloudy skies, but the numbers actually doing well. we keep those mid to upper 60s here by lunchtime and get into the afternoon upper 60s for north bay, east bay shoreline there in hayward with those low 70s right now, as we carry it through the parts of the santa clara valley, 73, in south san jose. so another mild day mixed in with that cloud cover that will continue on into our monday. i am looking at parts of the north bay that will get a little bit of a chance going into the noon hour tomorrow, as

that activity towards the pacific northwest continues to break down, it will be a mostly cloudy day for the start of our monday, but then don't worry. more sunshine and even warmer numbers are ahead as we build this ridge of high pressure over the state. rain chances. they want to come close to the bay. we're going to keep watching this as we go on into about thursday. a chance that wants to approach the coast, but we break it apart and then really stay tuned into next weekend when that's a bit of a better chance. so watch the 7-day forecast. while the cloud cover will be here this weekend, we will keep the numbers mild, low 70 to upper 60s for tomorrow. and here's where i talked about the numbers. building our inland valleys could get into those mid 70s there as we go on into wednesday. so if you have an opportunity to take lunch outside or any kind of a walk really along the coast, i think it will be beautiful. so enjoy the last couple of days of february and mixed in there with some warm numbers. san francisco and along the peninsula. yeah, maybe squeezing out a chance of some sprinkles there today. on

into tomorrow, those low 60s will turn into those upper 60s, maybe 70 by wednesday. so fingers crossed for that. that will be a beautiful day in the city into next weekend. we cool down and watch those shower chances on saturday, which will be march. by then, i believe i can't even believe it. march 1st. here we come. all right, cinthia, thanks. 21 past the hour. there is much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up. get this. the san jose earthquakes have a win a statement win in their season opener. and by the way, it's under a brand-new coach anthony flores has those highlights. next in sports.

day of the upcoming week. but then as fast as we warm up, we're going to cool back down into next weekend to start off march. so i'll be back with all those details coming up in about ten minutes. kira. all right, cinthia, thanks. president trump spent more than an hour addressing influential conservative fans at the annual gathering of the conservative political action conference, or cpac, celebrating the first month of his second administration. nbc's vaughn hillyard was there. that's all we're doing. when you think is keeping our promises. speaking to a crowd of his most fervent supporters, president trump touting his administration's efforts to reshape the federal government. the fraudsters, liars. cheaters, globalists and deep state bureaucrats are being sent packing. his latest target, the pentagon. in a friday night purge, trump firing the nation's top military officer, cq brown jr. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, defense secretary pete hegseth, last fall, foreshadowing what would come. well, first of all, you

got to fire. you know, you got to fire the chairman of the joint chiefs, any general that was involved, general admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the dei woke. it's got to go. trump selecting retired air force lieutenant general dan raisin cain as the next chairman of the joint chiefs. cain first met trump in iraq while a commander helping lead the offensive against the islamic state. he most recently served as associate director for military affairs for the cia. and more shakeups at the pentagon. the administration dismissing several top officers from the navy and air force, as well as the top lawyers for those branches and the army. plus the pentagon saying next week, approximately 1400 probationary civilian staffers at the defense department will be released. i think he's done a great job with his executive orders, but with the president's rapid remake of the federal government playing out to mixed reviews and congressional town halls around the country in nebraska, vermont senator bernie sanders launching his own,

quote, fighting oligarchy tour. trump believes he can do anything he wants to do. the law does not apply to him. trump on social media pushing ally elon musk and his doge team to get more aggressive. musk in turn, then announcing on x. all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week, adding failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. three sources tell nbc news those emails are already being received by federal employees, asking them to send five bullet points of what they accomplished last week, but noted employees should not include classified information. the deadline, set for monday at 11:59 p.m. that was vaughn hillyard reporting for us. back here locally, the overnight search for a gunman continues this morning on the peninsula in the typically quiet, upscale community of hillsborough. police there say

organizations teamed up to give away 1000 air purifiers. the groups bay area 350 and healthy. martinez handed out air purifiers to those who live near the refinery. the goal is to help maintain clean air in those nearby homes in the event of another fire. the air purifiers were all donated by lasco products. cal osha, the bay area air quality management district and contra costa county health are all investigating that fire. a popular family owned egg ranch in the south bay will soon sell its final dozen after 76 years. the oliveira egg ranch in san jose first opened in 1949, and it plans to close at the end of march. eder oliveira junior later took over from his dad, who opened it and operated the ranch for decades. the 76 year old says he's closing because of market fluctuations, causing

financial challenges, and that his children don't want to take over the business. just yesterday, we found loyal customers stopping by to reminisce about the business, even used to offer a drive-through egg service. the ranch will be torn down and single family homes are planned for that property. more employees are getting called to work in person, and that means childcare needs are evolving after many years of working from home two south bay cities are putting money toward connecting families with quality childcare that could help move the bay area's economy forward. today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us with the impact on families, providers and the larger economy. good morning to you, kyra. as you know, with your two young sons, families can't go to work if there isn't care for the kids. and the availability of care is one part of the equation. cost is the other. in silicon valley, child care for one infant will cost a family

more than $36,000 a year. nearly 68,000 for an infant and a preschooler, and nearly 90,000 for a family with a baby, preschooler, and a school aged kid. one way to bring down the cost is to make more care available. and that's why the city of san jose and the city of palo alto are investing in the child care network. upwards san jose to the tune of $1 million. palo alto has invested $234,000 over the last two years. the company's boost program helps providers grow their businesses so they can maximize how many children they can care for, and the platform also helps those small businesses streamline the business part so they can focus on the kids. we need child care providers. they are the backbone of the san jose community. we don't have child care providers to care for the children. then families can't return to work. that's a massive impact on the economy. so providing this essential care, this really empowers families and that drives the economy. now, according to the child advocacy

agency california first five, quality child care boosts workforce participation. it allows parents to be more productive and reliable. care also means less turnover for companies and more early childhood development. but there are 700 fewer daycare facilities in san jose alone than ten years ago, which is why helping those caregivers restart or expand their businesses is really a critical strategy. now, families can use upwards for free to connect with available daycares, nannies or babysitters, which are monitored by upwards daily beyond state licensing. upwards also provides free care for military families during those training days, and helps parents like us who work early mornings and also late nights or weekends so that we can also find care. back to you. kira, you are on it! kris thank you so much for that eye opening report. 39 past the hour right now. still to come on today in the bay. another sign. experts say our

climate in crisis is likely getting worse. next, the bay area cities now sinking at troubling rates. and the reason experts say this may

temperatures on this final sunday of the month. not bad. we are looking at a lot of upper 40s and low 50s san rafael 51 degrees. also out there in danville, which is one of our usually colder spots. 47 not bad. and down into the south bay we go 46 in los gatos, so that overnight cloud cover, even a chance of seeing some of that rain on your windshield early this morning up there towards the north bay. well, that was what kept us warm. but those showers are going to continue to dwindle out of our sunday picture. and even though we might have some filtered sunshine here in the mix as we go on into our morning mid morning hours and into t afternoon, our temperatures are still going to be fabulous for

this time of the year. upper 60s up there in wine country and along the peninsula, 68 in palo alto to those upper 60s and low 70 for the tri-valley and livermore. and that will continue that trend down here into san jose, 73 and maybe that 75 mark in gilroy. but those clouds will still be stubborn to mix out of here as we go on into our monday, as the pacific northwest deals with that atmospheric river. we're just getting the trail ends of that a chance of squeezing out a few more sprinkles here for monday around lunchtime. the north bay coast there, and that's pretty much where it will stay. maybe seeing a drop on your head, feeling a drop on your head as we go on into late afternoon there along parts of san francisco, on into san mateo. behind that, some clearing and some warming temperatures. look at this over san jose in the next couple of days with those upper 60s to start tomorrow, getting into the mid 70s by the work week and then eventually cooling it down. so really enjoy the middle part of the week

there. with those changes that we see starting into late week will bring about a chance of some showers there for the first weekend of march. so san francisco and along the peninsula mid 60s to upper 60s, maybe even a chance of 70 there by the middle of the week. we'll watch that. and if we have fabulous days in the cities, you know that our inland valleys are going to be great. and feeling all of that spring like warmth, even through the darkness of winter, i think that's great. 70 there, mid 70 by the middle of it. and then maybe future cynthia's problem will be watching the chance of showers for next saturday. all right, as we enter march. all right cinthia thanks. 43 past the hour. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay.. cong up. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here to discuss the latest claims president trump is making about the russia ukraine war and the help the u.s. has been greg takes prevagen for his brain and this is his story. hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois.

a few bay area cities are sinking as california communities work to combat climate change. our today in the bay meteorologist kari hall, explains the cause of those sinking cities. good morning kyra. turning now to our climate in crisis, there are four bay area cities that are sinking at alarming rate, according to a new nasa led study. scientists use satellite and radar to track the coastline and identify hotspots, and the fastest sinking spots include san rafael, corte madera, foster city and bay farm island in alameda, next to the oakland airport. researchers say these areas are sinking at a rate of more than 0.4in per year. the changes can come from human factors like groundwater pumping or natural activity like earthquakes, heavy rain or drought that could accelerate some sort of erosional processes, but that could also really be associated with recharging of the underground

water storages or aquifers. the bay area is also notoriously known for a tectonic activity and historical earthquakes. so that is also another factor that is very hard to plug into the projections. we don't know for certain when one of these big earthquakes will happen. and even the smaller magnitude earthquake can really shake the earth and, and accelerate the sinking of, of these certain pockets. so the sinking land comes at the same time that nasa predicts that local sea levels could rise more than 17in by 2050. that's more than double the regional estimate of 7.4in. to learn more about this study and climate change in the bay area and possible solutions, visit our website nbcbayarea.com and click on the climate crisis tab. and be sure to see more stories like this. join us every

morning on today in the bay from 5 to 7 daily. i'm meteorologist kari hall. kara, back to you. kari, thanks so much. this past week, president donald trump claimed that ukraine started the war with russia, which, by the way, began three years ago tomorrow. trump went on to say that with respect to helping ukraine, the united states has spent several times the amount contributed by europe and that now is the time to end the war. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins me now. great to see you as always. good morning. what do you make of the president's comments and perhaps the intentions behind them? because ukraine did not invade russia here. there are three things we can talk about in life. the sun rises in the east. the earth is round. and ukraine did not start the war. that's alallhere is to it. it's clear as a bell. video is out there.

lots of video showing exactly this. that the russians attacked ukraine, that we have ahead of time. the united states warned about all the different places from which from which russia would attack ukraine. so there's no other way of saying it. it's false. it's false. and this kind of statement to be made over and over again only not only confuses people unnecessarily, but also has our allies wondering what is going on in the united states. and i don't even want to get into the whole the world is round argument right n. but yes, three facts are true. so what about president trump's claim that the u.s. has spent more than europe supporting ukraine? something like 350? was it billion? 350 billion. it is in the billions. we'll give them that. but once again we're talking about something that is false. it's so uncomfortable saying these things. it really is. doesn't

make me feel good about it at all. there's some data. we showed it last week when we were talking about foreign policy, that europe has actually spent more money than the united states. you can see it in site after site after site. the kiel institute in europe is a nonpartisan, nonprofit institution. no ax to grind. the data is the data is the data. and again, this is uncomfortable when people are told otherwise. because after all, we count on the president of the united states to tell us the truth. it is hard to say it. it is very hard to say it. but again, the facts are the facts. so as a fact and you say these are nonpartisan institutes, easily refuted, you're able to easily refute that number with a quick search. so, you know, what is it. we know this much that the president is very concerned about making our footprint around the world very small. america first policy. so let's look inward. let's not think about what's going outward. so

this is one of the reasons why we see the attempts to cut back foreign aid put a halt on all foreign aid the first day he took office this time, and also the reductions that we see elon musk and doge doing through the united states, we can debate that one way or the other, but we know that he wants to do this. the other part of this, i think that is also somewhat disquieting, uncomfortable, perhaps, for some. and that is the linkage that we see over and over again between president trump and vladimir putin. okay, the russian president. now, look, we can go back to 2018. you might remember that helsinki meeting between trump and putin where trump was addressed with the question, you know, the cia has said that the russians tried to interfere in 2016 election. what do you think about that? to which trump said, i talked with putin. putin said, that's not true. this is the former head of the kgb, by the way. it's not true, he said. so i tend to believe putin more than i do the

cia. that tells you a lot. that says a lot about the united states linking our relationships with russia more so than anything else. now, okay, if you're going to go in ththat rection. fair. fair enough. but i think people need to understand the basis on which these things happen. you know, the more we understand about what's really happening in the world, i think the better we can decide whether it makes sense or does not. that's where we are right now, with the kinds of policies we see coming out of the trump administration. they're not necessarily bad policies, but you got to understand what they're all about and then make the judgments from there. all right. what a lens you've shown us, larry, as always, thanks for your insight this morning. great to see you. 52 past the hour on our sunday morning. up next, we have a quick look at our top stories, including that manhunt still underway on the peninsula what we police officer was shot.
