the city it is 15 minutes beyond the toll and looking good. we have situations out here with slow traffic up and over the altamont pass with early debris near forth palestinianot too terrible and 35 minutes from tracy to central valley to dublin/pleasanton and that is moderate. we will look at your south bay commute. >> wait until you see the police chase it got out-of-control an attempted murder suspect is in this vehicle, moving in and out of traffic, and the thing of the chase it lasted so long it started at 6:30 last fight, and it went 40 miles and this guy kept police chasing him for 40 miles along the highway until 10:00 p.m. and they used a smoke grenade and a dog to capture him. highway 91 was closed causing a massive traffic jam finally getting pulled and custody. police say the vehicle was used in a drive by shooting that happened on monday. an incredible backup. >> michael finney is helping you make extra cash with items you have in your house right new. ever get the hunger pangs early in the afternoon? how to stop that. i want to show you some cutting edge technology. this is a vhs tape. push that tape in and hit play. this is a flip phone. have

the cities. we think the government should deal with it in a very efficient way. now, as to the palestinian neighborhoods in jerusalem, it is a no man's land. doesn't enter into these neighborhoods because it is a part of israel. the palestinian security forces, they don't enter it, because they are not allowed. and unfortunately, the israeli enter because of no reason, and there is a lot of illegal weapons, not to speak drugs, prostitution . there are some other steps. civilian economics -- there is a long list of measures that should be taken. i didn't mention that when we speak we are speaking about not only three aspects -- three types of measures, but only three geographical areas. west bank, jerusalem, and gaza strip as well. make a like, only to political declaration. i would like to mention very isrtly, very briefly, it also for israel to accept the adjustment.d, with israel should is declare israel doesn't have any territorial claim or sovereignty the territory as to the security fence, which is 90% of the west bank. it doesn't say the rest is negotiable. that all of the palestinia
