vice mayor andy klein was officially sworn in as mayor at a city council meeting last night.he city's top spot opened up after the former mayor omar ahmad died of a heart attack in may. klein's promotion was delayed because in san carlos the mayor is appointed by the elected city council members. >>> all right. we have some warm to hot temperatures showing up around the bay area something we haven't been able to say in quite a while. mostly clear skies inland but patchy fog at the coast, even drizzle at the beaches early on. but by the afternoon, that is all gone and the sunshine is going to really crank things up today. 70s to 90s in the valleys, you get the ideas. 60s and 70s inside the bay even at the coast should become mostly sunny there and temperatures up well into the 60s in many spots. so high pressure takes hold. we have a weak offshore wind that's helped to bring you that ridge of high pressure and the offshore winds will clear out the skies for today and warm the temperatures up outside. so that strong ridge holding for today. looks like probably tomorrow, too. an

freeway, jach kleine knew if he didn't quickly become part of a story, a man might burn to death right in front of his eyes. the madness, the misery, the mayhem -- just another typical day on an l.a. freeway. but then an accident, an inferno, and a man trapped inside. his fate left in the hands of bystanders forced to choose between saving him or saving themselves. what will they do? it's early afternoon on freeway 170, october 16th, 2005, when the drama begins. >> i was traveling on southbound 25 and it was drizzling and i was rolling the tape. i was trying to shoot some rain. >> freelance cameraman jach kleine is driving with his daughter when he sees something alarming up ahead. >> i noticed the car kind of slip and slide and went sideways to the left and hit a center divider. i seen some smoke coming out of the car. i parked my camera, left the camera, ran towards him. and he was kind of moaning. shortly after, he came to, and he said, my foot, my foot. i thought his foot was stuck. >> lapd officer wall waymire and jeff jensen also see the accident. >> once we got on the freeway we

so, we bring in rick klein. and rick, when huntsman does join the race, will there be a bit of a double take because of someone else already running? >> reporter: that's right. he's got a background just about as quirky as the ads he's already showing. but where you see the double take is that he is going to match up in a very interesting way against mitt romney. he's also a political centrist. he's worked with democrats before on big issues. he is also a mormon and part of a political family. like john huntsman, he is going to be making a play for independent voters. the two of them are going to be duking it out, forparticularly new hampshire, where independents have a lot of sway. >> carving out the same voters. i wanted to play for you what we heard from texas governor rick perry over the weekend and get your reaction on the backside. >> and our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us, so, let's quit trying to curry favor with them. let's stop this american downward spiral. >> does this sound

joe klein first. >> well, i think he's getting kind of what he wants. what we're going to continue to do is build the afghan national army. that is eventually the force that's going to stop the taliban. it's a pretty plausible strategy because the afghan national army is essentially the old northern ap lines on steroids. it's a nonpashtun force. it's been fighting the taliban for hundreds of years and it is a plausible way to prevent the taliban from walking into kabul. >> it's funny, though, because i think a vote of confidence from hamid karzai is not exactly what you'd be looking for if you were a politician. nobody trusts him. people think his government has been corrupt, in fact. joe, you know this better than i do, he's been considered part of the problem more often than he's been considered part of the solution. of course, he wants us out of there. so it's in his own self-interest to applaud barack obama and say, you know what? i think this is a wonderful decision he's made and we're going to be able to defend ourselves. by the way, that works fo

. >> and so i want to bring in our senior washington editor rick klein, who follows this so closely. rick, have you ever seen a candidate of this stature show up to a debate with no senior team? >> reporter: this is unprecedented. if you want to be a serious candidate for president, you have to surround yourself with serious people. newt gingrich certainly breaking the hold here, and maybe not in a good way. the real person to watch tomorrow night is going to be mitt romney. this is the first time we're going to see him with the other candidates, the first time since our poll showed him neck and neck with president obama. he's going to want to hold onto that position in the critical state of new hampshire with all the other candidates gunning for that position. >> watching gingrich and mitt romney and the poll numbers. rick klein, thank you. >>> and we're going to turn now to that huge fire in arizona, and tonight, we take note here of a new satellite image. that gray plume of smoke over new mexico and arizona. and it's prompting a new round of health warnings this evening. clayton s

. >> greta: joining us is rick klein, senior washington editor for abc world news. i don't know how much weirder this can get. let's start with breitbart? >> i thought i was the wrong channel when i saw him take over the press conference. he said he was just a few blocks away and he wanted to come by. he within to the mike phone. i've never soon a sight like that to take over a press conference and preempt congressman weiner with his impromptu performance. >> greta: he said he spoke with nancy pelosi which i suspect is like going to the principal's office when you have got caught and you have to fess up. will there be an ethics investigation? did he violate any ethics code? >> there will be a investigation. it is because nancy pelosi and other leading house democrats are among those who are calling for this. they defended congressman weiner when this first broke. they took him at his word that he had been hacked. they felt betrayed. and i think the statement speaks volumes. for democrats to express their disappointment to lodge an ethics complaint is a major stateme

janelle klein in minot for us, thanks. once again here's amy. >> lester, thank you. while folks in north dakota are bracing for record flooding, many in the south are being threatened by huge wildfires that continue to burn out of control. tom truong is live in waycross, georgia, with more on that. tom, good morning. >> amy, good morning to you. the wildfire here in the okefenokee national wildlife refuge has burned more than 280,000 acres. we're actually standing next to some of the burn areas right now. and across the south a severe drought is leading to an outbreak of wildfires. more than 700 firefighters are working to control massive wildfires in south georgia. despite their desperate efforts, the weather will dictate the outcome. >> we've had a little bit of rain over the last few days, but not enough to really put this fire out. >> reporter: just over the border, 380 fires are burning in florida. putting enormous strain on the state's resources. >> you eventually get to a point where you don't have any personnel to send to these fires. >> it's going to jump. >

when you're writing this story, joe klein, why that breakdown, insiders/outsiders?lly. the art department went a little berserk here i think. i just said that there are two paths to this nomination now, which is something that you really hadn't seen in the republican party in the past where the next in line is always the overwhelming favorite and usually the nominee. mitt romney's perceived as the next in line. but he's playing mostly in new hampshire. where the voters really like serious economic messages that are conservative but not extreme. they're not as concerned about social issues. meanwhile, there's this other path. and it's in iowa. which has a very heavily evangelical component to the voters there. and that's where people like michele bachmann and rick santorum and several others will be competing hard to be the outsider, the tea party challenger, to the, you know, the traditional establishment conservative insider. >> let's start with the guy you say who by law and by republican tradition will be next in line, mitt romney. he is concentrating mostly on n

janel klein is there with the very latest. good morning. >> good morning, lester. 5,000 homes here are under water. some up to their rooftops. the souris river still has not crested leaving people in minot to battle for what is left of their city. the souris river still at levels not seen since the 1980s. all eyes remain fixed on the broadway bridge. the last main artery linking the two sides of the city. if it goes under, minot cut in half. even though the river's crest was lower than expected, the city remains on edge. >> next several days will be critical and be at the highest level of risk and what is most important for everyone is to remain vigilant. >> across town national guard bull dozers ripped down another bridge. this one in danger of being swept away by the rushing water. it swamped 4,000 homes and businesses so far and boats are the only way in to most neighborhoods. dean anderson's job is to rescue those still trapped in their homes, but like so many helping here, his own house is under water. >> our first call h

the former two-term michigan governor jennifer granholm and political columnist joe klein. out of the box here. he has a tough job. unemployment ticked up again today. the recovery is very fragile. the president is trying to tell the american people it would be worse if not for me. >> there are still some headwinds coming at us. lately it's been high gas prices. caused a lot of hardship for a lot of working families. then you have the economic disruptions following the tragedy in japan. you got the instability in the middle east, which makes folks uncertain. there are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery. >> you can't argue, governor, with anything the president just said there. however, can you win an election in a tough economy by essentially saying well then this happened, then this happened, then that happened? it is not a terribly optimistic, upbeat message. >> well, all i can say is, look what happened in michigan in 2006. i was running for a second term. we had the highest unemployment rate in the nation. it's all about a choice. and the voters want to kn

revise south rings price tag upward this year as the prices for commodities like steel and cement also klein is this the reason why the publication of technical and economic assessment of the project was delayed until the the end of the year if i'm not mistaken. no i don't think there's any correlation in that respect the project is on schedule we are working hard on many different aspects including the final. conclusion of the preferred routing of the entire pipeline system we expect that to be ready sometime in the third quarter. is cheaper then south really does it mean more competitive in south stream. but first of all i haven't heard any firm and final numbers for i don't know or south stream or south stream or using a preliminary estimate which says it is likely to be on the order of magnitude of ten billion euros for the offshore part and of like c. and approximately another five forty on shore parked through the transit countries on the way to italy and austria. that's a very preliminary estimate the final budget will be available when we take the final investment decision. and i thi

foreign secretary jack straw even the optimists recognize the currency is vulnerable to shot the kleins can vaccinate from saxo bank explains how he thinks this will impact on russia. but the thing with russia to remember is that no matter what really happens internally it's still regarded for the most part as an emerging market economy and as such as much is done like to use the fries there is very much the risk on risk off mantra operating within the water financial markets now as with any other emerging market economy when is a general response. economies and countries such as russia are in favor and that means increased foreign direct investment or flow of hot money and as soon as the mood overall turns in the market and there's a risk off sentiment or risk aversion then just as quickly as the money came into russia it flows just as quickly the only thing obviously the main differentiator here is that obviously being rich of natural resources or we will bring predominantly amongst those russia has a slightly different different nature of the impact they can play out on its economy s
