people into it -- marginalize people for this. >> let's just say, instead of this, we have this. >> as a failed catholic and ex- altar boy, it's about time. this is probably about 400 years -- you know, another 400, maybe women will have a chance. >> reporter: now, the pope's comments come in stark contrast to pope benedict xvi, the before him. this doesn't change anything in regard to church policy. some folks may question why the pope's latest remarks were even made when priests take a bow of celibacy when they are ordained. now, on the issue of female

taking action on this issue calling for all foreign carriers to use a gps system whenever they touch down in san francisco. in a statement, the faa says it took this action after noticing an increase in go-ands at sfo by -- go-ands at sfo. during a visual report, pilots don't rely solely on their instruments and the concern, some pilots may not be as skilled at these touchdowns. so out of an abundance of caution, the faa is pushing for this. this man, flying to tokyo on business, believes foreign airlines shouldn't be singled out. >> it does put me more at ease. i think it's a good move. probably something that should be applied to all of the planes coming in. >> it would put me more at

ease. i think the american pilot should be using that too. >> reporter: normally pilots coming into sfo have the option of using the glide slope indicator to help them land. but that instrument system has been out of service at the airport since early june. the glide slope won't be back up and running until late august. until that time, the faa will continue to ask all foreign carriers to use gps for landings here at sfo. at sfo, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. rohnert park police are searching for a man they say caused his brother's death last night. investigators say 26-year-old emanuel sanchez-martinez stole his brother's truck from their home on anson avenue and drove it onto southwest boulevard where he lost control. his two brothers jumped on the
