absolutely and that is the condition for people. i know l is the condition for people.. we are seeing impacts of heat waves a lover australia in the past decade or so, particularly birds and flying foxes, very vulnerable. even those birds who live in hot climates can suffer mass mortality when conditions get to be so extreme. especially when they don't have access to supplies of water. so, heat waves and other sorts of extremes are driving a lot of ecosystem changes in australia, notjust in western australia but in places like our great barrier reef which is seen unprecedented events over the past six years.— over the past six years. thank you so much for _ over the past six years. thank you so much forjoining _ over the past six years. thank you so much forjoining us _ over the past six years. thank you so much forjoining us on - over the past six years. thank you | so much forjoining us on newsday. we are going to end the programme now and i will try to make you smile. have a look at this. the emotional reunion of two brothers who were separated by the partition of in

this nor'easter bringing ten states under blizzard warning intense conditions. a lot to do with snow at nothing to do with temperatures. it's all about low visibility winds create with blowing snow. that the real problem. brings problems to a standstill, nearly impossible in some cases and means that it is going to be a very long day for a lot of folks who have to get out for any reason. standing by in studio w we break this down for you. plenty of this intends nor'easter to come. craig: you look at the picture of old glory going straight out, incredible to talk about the wind gusts. the blizzard warning extends from delmarva to portions of long island into rhode island to maine. blizzard warning, low visibility, quarter of a mile or less, 3 hours, winds at 35 miles an hour, some of these spots haven't seen blizzard warnings since 2018, a good four years. the winter storm warnings in the purple extend from delmarva into maine. the winter weather advisory not as much snow, we could see another area of warnings. here is the storm itself as we are looking at the mi

in long branch, how are the conditions? coming down sideways. >> reporter: i heard you say star wars. i took the millennium falcon to my first trip. it runs until 4:00 pm. we see big wind gusts. snow totals piling up. you can see this wind driven snow, those wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour possible the coming up on the high tide cycle occurring at 5 am. coastal flooding is a conservative coastal flood advisory runs until 9 am. to the north, sandy hook beach a highside end. at 5:00 pm we expect a water rise one to two feet above normally dry ground at high tide. that is something to watch closely on the jersey shore. the blizzard warning running for several hours. i wish you could see the facilities, the wind blowing the snow by, we see big time snowdrifts but i wish you could see the waves. we are showing you that through the morning but there are some big waves, dangerous conditions in coastal areas. the national weather service, the first blizzard warning they have issued in four years. they said blizzard conditions wo

by our measures this is the state of financial conditions, the level of financial conditions, while it on the margins is still not supported for growth. sci still accommodative. that means there are some further room for financial conditions to tighten before we get close to a place where financial conditions are more neutral to the growth backdrop. bottom line, this is about financial conditions tightening in response to fed policy. more room to go before we see it becoming a material growth risk. lisa: which goes to the point of can the u.s. go it alone? is this a fed story or a global story where if you get a tightening on a global level you will get the global rise in yields that will allow financial conditions to tighten. how much are you looking for that magnifying effect by this global tightening we are expecting? robert: is a very important trend. we speak to our colleagues across the morgan stanley department in economics, there are number of central banks moving towards tightening, even echoing what we are talking about with the fed, the bank of canada, the bank of england wh

but of course, not everyone can afford air conditioning or have access to air conditioning and an articleng and so the inmates will be suffering a great deal. so, once again, these sorts of extreme climactic events do bring home the fact that some the most vulnerable people in our society are also the most vulnerable to climate change. absolutely, leslie. and that is the condition for people. i know there's also been an impact on wildlife and animals in that area. that is right. we're seeing impacts on heat waves over the past decades as well. particularly birds and flying foxes are very vulnerable and even those birds that normally live in really hot and arid climates can suffer mass mortality. when conditions get to be so extreme. especially if they don't have access to supplies of water. heat waves and other sorts of climactic extremes are driving a lot of ecosystem changes, notjust in western australia but places like our great barrier reef which has seen unprecedented bleaching events over the past couple of years. the trial of a prominent sri lankan muslim lawyer, hejazz hizbullah,

i will let me ask you under what conditions are these prisoners being released? first of all, do we know if they actually have been released yet? and once they are, once they have been, will they have to be under house arrest or will they be able to speak up or speak out, what are the conditions they might be faced with? thank you. so the attorney general basically broke the charges against this prisoner so the prisoners have not been convicted. the charges were brought to the justification provided by the government is that this is an important and necessary step to expand the scope of the national level of process that the government is promising that european people. so i saw this as a really important and a positive step, not just because we have individuals who have not been employed in the 1st place, fried, but also because of this promise of a competitive national barrel process that will help you. yes. for as long standing political problem and lead to some kind of political settlement. but the problem of course, is that you, you had a significant number

if the economic conditions are good, then the fed is not able to engineer a tightening of financial conditions, which they are trying to do, if back end yields stay low. the only way they can really do that is by engineering the balance sheet smaller, so some form of quantitative tightening. that is the risk, and that is why bond yields are going up. nobody knows where the neutral balance sheet is. jonathan: a ton of uncertainty to work through. what you said is interesting, so clarify this. are you saying they need to use balance sheet in place of interest rate hikes, or use the balance sheet to allow them to deliver more hikes? jim: i'm saying both. delivering more rate hikes is not going to tighten financial conditions as much. what they have to do is use the balance sheet, lean on the balance sheet more. if you would ask me what i rather see the fed hike interest rates last and shrink the balance sheet more? i would say yes. i would rather see the balance sheet reduction come in place of some of the rate hikes. jacking up front and rates, all that will do is flatten the yield curve, given

tsunami conditions. so people on the pacific island of tonga started posting videos of swells of water overwhelming the coast this afternoon, right on the coast waves were pushing debris onto beaches further inland. you can see how waters swamped some neighborhoods. video streamed live on facebook. showed how water flooded churches and nearby homes. communication with tonga remains very limited right now. surveillance flights to the area will need to wait until an ash cloud clears. back here at home. the tsunami advisory force more than 100 people from their boats and floating homes at the berkeley marina. we take these things seriously, and we don't want we absolutely don't want to see anyone get hurt. ahead at 10 30 ktvu is amended. quintana shows us how residents responded to urgent calls to evacuate and in san francisco, at least one surfer had to be rescued this afternoon. it happened off kelly's cove at ocean beach. greg liggins picks up our team coverage of the tsunami advisory impacts. santa cruz

now under severe to moderate conditions. however, we are still in a drought. so experts say we still need to keep conserving water. >> the question now is, do we rolled back into a wet pattern as we get towards the end of january and february? we don't know ultimately what the rest of the water your fault for us. and we want to make sure that our reservoirs are in good shape to take us through a hot summer and potentially a dry winter next winter. >> despite the improvement in our drought conditions, water restrictions are still in place in several bay area counties. and the supreme court blocks the biden administration from enforcing a vaccine or test requirement for large employers. but the justices did allow the administration to proceed with the vaccine mandate for most health care workers. our washington correspondent jessi tenure has that story for us. >> so they blow to the biden administration. large companies do not have to require their employees to be fully vaccinated against covid-19 or tested weekly and wear a mask on the job. the u.s. supreme cou

whiteout conditions for sure. >> difficult conditions and the potential for coastal flooding as well we should note. tie reyler mauldin, thank you s much. >>> and in new york nearly a half a foot of snow has fallen already. the city is bracing though for twice that amount at least as heard tyler say there. and that wind threat is very serious. >> yeah, joining us now is new york city mayor eric adams. good morning and thank you for sharing part of your weekend with us. just wondering how you see things from where you are right now. >> good morning. thank you for allowing me to be on with you. and i think the message at the top of this broadcast states it all. it is really important for people to be off the ways. this allows emergency vehicles and the department of sanitation to pass through. i've visited sites throughout the city this morning and visited one of our sanitation garages. it is clear that the streets are passable, but we are still receiving continuous and steady sno snowfall. so it is important to not be on the roads at this time. >> governor hochul said that people in n

intense conditions was the atlantic totally angry right now. the nor'easter, the bombohgenesis, millibars dropping with that pressure, snow plows, whenever there trying to remove snow and it is tough to tell how much snow has fallen because of the wind and the drifts. we have to assess that probably tomorrow. this is going to continue all day into the evening. we may end up with historic snow totals, potentially two feet or above. you stand here and get pelted. it is amazing, getting a bombohgenesis facial. i am loving it, watching us on foxbusiness a fox weather enjoy it, don't come out here. let us take the beating. craig: thanks for your report, stay safe. the snow blowing around all over the place. tough to tell the snow from the stand. amy: waterford connecticut, 23 degrees, winds gusting to 38 miles an hour, windchill coming down but that is about it. because visibility is reduced, waterfor the 2 hour drive, blizzard warning in effect until 7:00 pm eastern and these white house conditions are likely through the middle of the day through e

all those conditions for the economic outlook. so that is one thing i would say. another is, currently you have got a slope, if you think about the two-year treasury to the 10 year treasury, that is around 75 basis points, well within the range of a normal yield curve slope. so, it is something we are monitoring. we do not think of it as some kind of an iron law. but we do look at it and try to understand the implications of what it is telling us. it is one of many things we monitor. >> can i follow-up and ask if it did invert, would you tie it to u.s. fundamentals or would it be driven by a much broader set of factors? >> good question. in real-time. the u.s. long-term sovereign debt is an important global asset. the fact that our rates are so much higher than other risk-free sovereign rates around the world may put a ceiling on our rates. it would really depend on the facts and circumstances at that time. >> let's go to brian for the last question. >> brian, yahoo! finance. within the context of the broad effort to normalize rat

that was expected because it was blizzard conditions.you know, we were properly prepared and that's the key, to have all the resources in place, all the a personnel, all the vehicles that we need, and i'm claiming a victory for our public works department. jon: yeah. hats off to them. i don't think people think about how important their work is until something like this comes along and you've got to get your streets plowed so that commerce can go on. 15 inches of snow, that's a big dump for think city no matter how prepared -- for any city no matter how prepared you are. >> yes. and that's why i consider our public works department first responders. whether it's a blizzard like today, whether it's a nor'easter, whether it's, you know, a hurricane or anything, while the good people of atlantic city are safe, secure, sound asleep in their houses, they're out will all time of night making sure or that they get the job done for the residents. and we appreciate it. jon: marty small, the mayor of atlantic city, new jersey. mayor, looks like yo

look at the conditions there.e get the point there is a lot of snow and it is coming down really hard there. we'll check back with you to get more detail on how everyone is handling it. brynn gingras, you are in new york city. a lot of snow on the ground there, a lot in the air. i see a few people out behind you. so what is happening? are people treating it like it is potentially very dangerous? >> reporter: it is a saturday so that helps. if it happened during the week, it would be a mess. but exactly what you said, people are kind of happy that it is snowing. and we're certainly not seeing the treacherous conditions that polo is experiencing. and the worst it got was when the wind was slamming you in the face with the snow. and it is cold. but other than that, it has gotten much better. i want to show you the roads because this is what the city is keeping an eye on. because the snow is continuing to fall. we've already seen about 3 to 6 or 7 inches in new york city and more is coming down. so we've seen probably

let's give you a quick look at what conditions are like right now. and at the moment you can see it's nice and light boost both east and westbound traffic on 92 across the san mateo bridge moving without any problem and that's kind of what we've been seeing all morning long to the north, too up at the richmond. sandra fell bridge where you can see despite the raindrops on the lens. just a handful of headlights here making their way westbound on 5.80 heading across in the marin county. so all's well, there and it continues to be a nice easy ride on 1, one southbound across the golden gate bridge. our marine county viewers heading down into san francisco making good time this morning. all right. it's 9.31, let's get back to the news now as people are heading back to work and school this week doctors are warning of another post holiday covid surge in the making. the number of new cases are at an all-time high right now. and ucsf infectious disease specialist doctor peter chin-hong says it will likely keep climbing. compared to the delta variant, though
