february shaping up so far at least the early part to look a lot like january which was a lot of fog and not much rain. high pressure's here. it's not going anywhere. so 30s, 40s to near 50 degrees. but 48 oakland, hayward, mountain view. 40s for even the city. 37 santa rosa. san jose starting off at 48. we'll go 58 at noon. that fog will be burning off and sunny. 63 for a high today as temperatures slowly come up a little bit. everything's right in the middle of the country, in texas, and next system will go up and over and the high will flex its muscle in towards thursday and friday and be very, very stable. today patchy thick fog out there and low clouds on the coast. but by wednesday into thursday another system digs in. that should help kind of stir up the atmosphere enough to give us less fog but sunny and breezy conditions. today morning areas of fog by noon fog and sun and by the afternoon sunny and mild. again, some of that fog makes for upper 50s on the high side. mid-60s though. santa rosa 65. and then 63 for san jose. 59 half-moon bay. 60 livermore. 63 redwood city and als

the central bank says the country has so far lost about $8 billion. so how will the events in egypt affect the rest of the world, especially asia? first let's take a look back at recent developments. the large demonstrations have been taking place in egypt's capital city of cairo. rallies sprung up across the country from suez to alexandria. the protests grew increasingly violent after the first on january 25th. the so-called day of wrath. demonstrators set fire to mubarak's ruling national democratic party in cairo and there were reports of journalists being attacked by the egyptian police. on january 29th mubarak announced he will dissolve the government, rein in skyrocketing food prices. he appointed omar suleiman vice president. the opposition movement and their allies called for 1 million strong across egypt to gather to demand mubarak's immediate resignation. the egyptian army vowed not to use force against any of the protesters. on february 1st, president mubarak confirmed he would not be seeking re-election. >> amid rising tension yet another m

so far the growth rate. in the recall very has been disappointing and probably because there was excessive amounts of that the leverage in the financial system or parts of the corporate the world so while china india brazil are growing six to eight nine percent and last year that are called video gold shows only around four percent i think that not only that is a rogue or old but compared to other emerging markets inflation dizzy and my reach double digits of ten percent or more and the central bank has been call shows and raising interest rates and inflation might be gold also higher i think that the way that russia has to deal with the fact that they want to get what they need to limit the inflation is to make sure that it was higher and if you make structural reforms if you free ob private enterprise if you make more efficient state than other enterprises if you have more incentive to run for banerjee then potential growth can be high growth can be and inflation is going to stay on their control. well that

so far we have seen numerous spinouts across the bay area. most of them have cleared quickly so no big hot spots or delays so take it extra slow this morning. chp has been very busy and tow crews as well clearing numerous different incidents across the bay area. golden gate bridge, i mentioned an earlier accident up in san rafael and marin southbound 101 before lincoln. that accident was cleared. it was blocking two lanes but they got it cleared to the right shoulder before it ever caused any kind of backup. may have been injuries involved in the crash, as well. obviously, traffic very light across the span. we'll do a bridge check across the bay area. here's live look at the richmond/san rafael bridge. rain causing that kind of halo effect on our cameras on westbound 580 through marin. and we'll show you a look at the -- well, the san mateo bridge has one of those signs, slippery when wet signs, warning drivers to use reduced speeds. also right before came on air, i was reading that critical mass bike ride is supposed to start tonight at 6:00

>> so far, it looks like he's not going anywhere. he's very strong and he plans on staying. that's what i think, at least. >> they're realizing that -- the defense minister came to the square early this morning. he got a small cheer from demonstrators who said the army might give the president the push they can't so far produce. but the army showed today how egypt hasn't changed. troops secured what had been the front line between the two sides. the armed forces have been at the center of power in egypt since the coup 60 years ago and its commanders don't like disorder in the capital city. you can see what the army's trying to do here. containing the protestors means they can't cause trouble somewhere else but they're also offering them real protection and they haven't done that before. that's going to please egypt's western allies, especially the americans. at the very least, this could be buying time for president mubarak. some calm looks to be the general's first priority. when supporters of the president tried to march to the square, they were stopped. that doesn't mean
