problem the republicans have is that they're not united that they have this tea party faction and they have the social conservative wing and the fiscal conservatives and they're not sure exactly what they want to prioritize right now. >> new hampshire debate in june and iowa could help narrow gop candidates. striking nurses at children's oakland hospital ends in just about two hours. the nurses have been working without a contract since it expired last july. the hospital wants them to start contributing to their health care premiums. children's hospital says patient care was not compromised during the strike. today bay area teachers plan to do gradeins at local malls to show how much work they do after school. it's part of a week long campaign to restore education funding. educators and students took over the rotunda at the state

homeless man near sacramento who escaped injury after being dumped into a garbage truck and nearly crushed. police say the 45-year-old was sleeping in a large garbage bin yesterday when he was dumped into the truck. the truck then compacted its contents at least three times before the driver heard screams coming from the back of his truck. >> i climbed out he had a ladder, they dropped him in and pulled him out that way. had a neck brace, back brace. i didn't see anymore. he got in the ambulance he was pretty beat up. pretty gnarlly. >> firefighters say the garbage truck wasn't full and that may have saved his life. he was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay. in seattle a woman came away with just minor injuries after crashing her car through a wall and plunging ten feet down an elevator shaft. it happened yesterday on the third floor of an underground parking garage at a hospital. a witness says she accelerated her car in the wrong direction. the fire department's heavy rescue team had to get that

you can see another front coming in. that's going to push the front in tomorrow. today looks like the sunniest and warmest day we have. still a little bit of cool air mass in place that's settled in. but tomorrow more sunshine today i should say warmer but then by tomorrow i think that fog comes back to the coast. there's some patchy fog there but it really won't amount to too much today. slightly breezy coast and some higher elevations but not so much at the surface. 60s, 70s and mid-70s. but tomorrow the coast looks like they will cool off and then start to see that fog really ramp up and move in on thursday leading to a cloudy mostly cloudy friday and all signs point towards a very cold and unseasonably strong system dropping in for a lot of clouds, below normal temperatures and rain saturday night into sunday. wow. thank you, steve. drivers will be heard today over proposed changed to san francisco taxis. the city's transit agency will hold a first of a series of public meetings. another meeting scheduled for 5:30 tonight. drivers are angry about new
