>> this is mardi gras! let the good times roll. mardi gras is kind of synchronized with the liturgical catholic year. we have parades from 12 days after christmas, right up to fat tuesday. of course, mardi gras means fat tuesday in french. and fat tuesday is a culmination of the year. it's about five weeks. so it's always the tuesday before ash wednesday which is 40 days before easter. of course, the celebration was brought to mobile by the founders of mobile, the lemoyne brothers. so we like to see mobile is the birth place of mardi gras because they founded mobile in 1792, and pierre founded new orleans in 1718. -- 1692, and pierre founded new orleans in 1718. so they started it here and took it to new orleans. it's a fun time and it is in the air. you will see the people, everyone is excited and having fun, the first parade of the year. wallace was a 17-year-old slave in north mississippi. he tried to run away four times. each time he would run north, and he would get caught. they would bring him back and beat him unmercifully.

following they say that they are aware of credible reports of the eritrean military involvement in te gras and that they view this as a grave development as we mentioned earlier prime minister he made peace with eritrea that is part of what won him the nobel peace prize are they now an ally that has helped you fight your military offensive or you know our military. has been weakened. in keeping you skipping missions. was a public feeling was if you know so she's i'm so torn of those that say that well because i'm going to look at it i don't i can issue 100 percent terms in one of them one put some sort of get out of it him out of his open to being in what i'm wondering though how you can assure and 100 percent terms when the americans say that they have satellite images they say intercepted communications anecdotal reports from the region also add to that we know eritrea for example just for contacts is a country that has long face accusations of large scale humor. rights abuses and there are about 100000 eritrean refugees that are located anti christ there's a lot at stake here the united

one had engraved "sherman to gra nt." he would then explain what sherman said, i knew that you would come if still alive. he gave that to his closest of associates. sherman and grant were alike in many respects. they wrote memoirs that were very significant. i assume you have a judgment of them, relatively speaking. i'm curious which one you see as the most important and significant and why. john: that is an excellent question. i am a little prejudiced. the coeditors and another co-editor did the grant memoirs. it was a marvelous experience. we got so excited, we decided to do the sherman memoirs. gen. petraeus: the annotated version, you mean. john: annotated -- i'm sorry, yes. exactly. [laughter] press published the grant memoirs. it will be publishing the sherman memoirs, which tells you something. they don't normally do that. he situation was so clear to us, at least clear to me, that of the two, grant has the greater memoirs. the reason is, if you look at what some of the great writers of that period said about the m

fact, the kremlin put out a cress release ear press release saying there was a telegram to joe biden grag him winning the election. russians are late doing this. most international leaders congratulated the president-elect and the vice president-elect shortly after the election took place. russians waiting several weeks saying they wanted to wait until the electoral college made things official thinking that was appropriate in that telegram. vladimir putin said he was willing to work together with president-elect joe biden. of course, we remember u.s. intelligence services say the kremlin actively tried to undermine the u.s. election to try to help president trump get re-elected. brianna? >> fred, thank you so much. >>> putin's congrats comes on the heels of a serious hacking of u.s. federal agencies by groups suspected to be linked to russia. so far at least three agencies including the departments of homeland security, agriculture and commerce, have been hacked. experts expect that number to grow. these hackers are even targeting the agency responsible for protecting the u.s. from cybe

lind see gra hospital, who will be head of the budget committee if the democrats in georgia don't winas already atalked about the fact we have a $27 trillion debt and must do something about it. and he's talking about entitle the reform. all these things need to be done, but there's no credibility on the issue. i'm not anti-government. i'm pro good government and pro limited government. there's a functional role for government, but it really is status quo. think about the rebellion that led the british to brexit. we could argue about the merits of brexit from a policy angle, but we can't forget the majority of them wanted to get out of their relationship with the parliament in brussels because it had overreached. and they got brexit and it did happen and we'll see how that works out. in the united states, what we got was the status quo. nothing changed. washington is still up to its ways. this budget is full of gimmicks. it has 2,000 pages of the 5,600 pages that redefine what spending is so they can get around the self-imposed spending limits that previous congresss put in to look li

it was -- ship mardi gras. this was supposed to be packed with people.his year and, of course, it never happened. in fact, if ever there was a picture that depicted the year 2020 for the cruise lines, this is it. it's beautiful, really is. you've got security down here, the vip area over here. so the question becomes when do they expect passengers to start coming back, and that is the critical question. i was talking to the port director, and he says, you know, you have to give the cdc30 days' notice before you can do one of these test runs, and then you have -- assuming that you pass that, then there's a 60-day period before you can actually start taking on passengers. those things combined is three months. and i also found out it's not just one ship from each cruise line that will be tested. every individual ship in each fleet has to be tested. so to get back to normal, it's going to take a lot longer than some, perhaps, will believe. and will people come back in the same kinds of numbers as we saw last year in well, the cruise lines hope they can prov

gra gra i'm so grateful for you appears on my inaugural show. "new york times," clearly laying out food as a national emergency. talk to us, if you will, about that. >> we keep saying we need to start giving more importance to food. needs to be thought of at the national security level. we need to start recognizing one very simple idea. that right now we have hungry people in america. more than 26 million are having trouble feeding their children, their families. even the numbers are up to 45 million that they are thinking they are going to be having trouble feeding their families in the near future. the holidays are coming. the american way will be to take care of every single hungry person in america through this pandemic and at the same time create the blueprint to make sure that we come out of this pandemic stronger. fema, it's the emergency body of the american government. this is an emergency. may not be a hurricane and may not be an earthquake, but i am very surprised that fema, that should be that emergency take -- taking care of every a

obviously you looked on the gra graphic, you see racial diversity.coming president-elect has been under immense pressure from so many constituencies making sure his cabinet reflects america. but he is going into the comfort zone, picking people close to him. you have dennis mcdonough, susan rice, tony blinken, same with ron klain. you're seeing a lot of familiar faces pop up on personnel choices. >> talk about reinvention, susan rice, former state department official, former national security adviser in the obama white house, now to run the domestic policy council. take us inside that. number one, biden knows her and trusts her, i guess the national security adviser is a coordinator like the domestic policy adviser, but that one is interesting, too. >> reporter: that one really is interesting. clearly susan rice has been talked about for a high profile role in the biden administration should he win the white house, but the position she was tapped for was secretary of state, by drawing on foreign policy credentials she built up in the obama administra

gras is proving difficult to what we know about the current situation there. we know for a fog. areas that can be accessible to the un and its partners are only areas controlled by the federal government the european governments so much of the air is still not accessible to the un there are many many thousands of people including into $350.00 s. that are in desperate need according to the united nations are so last night they run out of all kinds of things including basic food so you can only imagine the kind of humanitarian disaster that's going on in the region definitely incredibly concerning that the u.n. says it's concerned about reports of eritrean refugees in the ethiopian region being killed or abducted or forcibly returned to eritrea what have what is the actual ethiopian government being saying though the ethiopian government side insists. soldiers are not taking part in any of the conflicts there has been an ongoing accuse ations including reports done by reuters. bloomberg saying that they are involved but the government insists nor international players it would in

gra grassley said that hunter biden was aware of his links to the communist chinese government.ut of jail and back in hong kong. so this may not mean much practically but does mean the government had enough for the conviction and leaves more questions in terms of what hunter biden was doing representing somebody of this ilk. >> sandra: thank, leland. so will this new development raise calls for a special counsel in the hunter biden investigation? former acting attorney general matthew whitaker joins us to discuss that. good evening. bottom line, the question is how does this overall affect the investigation and does it give more credit to calling for a special counsel into the matter? >> yeah, i think it does give a lot more credit to those calls for a special counsel. i think it is another fact that was probably not available to a lot of americans that this cefc company, a chinese energy company, had paid bribes in uganda, chad and ultimately corr respect. the ceo, who was negotiating with hunter biden, has disappeared in china. i think a lot of people are afraid that this hunt

they had mardi gras parades every year. it was a big function and then they started a patient newspaper . it was started in the 1940s and at newspaper initially started as just kind of an internal four-page mimeographed sheet that talk about the dinner for the menu for sunday night's dinner, what movies they were going to see and then eventually starting to become a lot edgier. the patients started writing columns saying why are we here? why is the federal government confining us? why are we being treated like prisoners and it started to get some traction outside the carville and that's when the patients began this what i think is kind of an incredible campaign to win their freedom. these were people that were forgotten and abandoned and if they don't speak for themselves nobody will it was really amazing community inside and i think it was the strength of this community, the fact that there were so many different kinds of people there that i think that's what made them so influential because they just had this very broad c

gras 4 meteorologist rodriguez is here to govern ready for sunday. i saw justin got a little statues were there for a second where you yeah that is true. we're tracking some possible patchy fog and frost, especially for valleys in the north bay tonight. >>so just plan ahead for your sunday morning commute taking a look at today's temperatures we actually were either at or slightly above normal near average highs for downtown san francisco, livermore and conquered warming up into the mid 50. so right about where you should be very dry seasonable weather but a few degrees above average 6 degrees above normal for those of you in santa rosa, pleasant temperatures in the low 60. so hope you enjoy that today, let's take a live look outside from the east bay over berkeley not tracking any lower high cloud cover but temperatures already starting to plummet right now in the 40's for most of the bay area little bit milder though right along the bay area shoreline just because of that see influence for we are tracking mid 50's for oakland, half moon bay, 54 deg
