fourth place in the iowa caucuses. vermont senator, bernie sanders, and pete buttigieg both looking to build on their strong showing in iowa. sanders stressing he's not going anywhere. >> what i can say is we will be here tonight. we have, as you know, been all over the state. >> mr. mayor, are you going to win here today? >> we think so, it feels fantastic. >> reporter: new hampshire could change the landscape of the race, killing some campaigns while pushing others to the front, as democrats look for a clear front-runner. senator elizabeth warren has been struggling to gain momentum in the state, but this morning she said she was still feeling positive. >> i've been counted down and out for much of my life. >> reporter: voters certainly aren't letting obstacles get in their way as they brave the snow, rain, and cold temperatures to head to the polls. >> i think this weather, you know, may not be the best, but it will bring out my voters. >> reporter: so just one hour to go until all of the polls across the state of new hampshire officially close. unlike iowa, here in new hampshire, we do expect those results to come in pretty quickly. they are not caucusing. this is a primary. which means they're using paper ballots. we expect it to go just a bit smither this time around. >> let's hope so. lauren blanchard, live for us in new hampshire. former new york city mayor michael bloomberg is again trying to distance himself from the city's former stop and frisk policy. that is after a lawyer drew attention to a speech mayor bloomberg made. he said the way to decrease murder rights is put a lot of cops in the neighborhoods where crime happens. today bloomberg said the speech did not quote reflect my commitment to criminal justice reform, and racial equity. four career prosecutors withdrew from the roger stone case today after the justice department scaled back its sentencing recommendation for president trump's former adviser. none explained the reason for their decisions. federal prosecutors wanted stone to serve 7 to 9 years in prison for lying to congress and obstructing a federal investigation. but doj leadership was reportedly shocked by the proposed penalty, and president trump also tweeted the sentence recommendation was a quote horrible and unfair situation. the department later filed an updated sentencing recommendation. stone was found guilty in november of trying to protect president trump in the investigation in election meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign. it was a strange today in the murder trial of john cowell. he was the man who admitted to stabbing nia wilson and her sister at the b.a.r.t. station. >> reporter: john cowell testified in his own defense in his murder trial, as a sheriff's deputy sat next to him on the stand, he told the jury he's bipolar, schizophrenic, and hears voices. for the first time, cowell gave his reason why he stabbed nia to death. they were aliens and gang member out to attack and kidnap his grandmother. he told the jury, i stabbed both of the females in the crew, because i believed they would not give my grandmother back. >> i think he's delusional now. not then. >> reporter: on the stand, cowell said nia and her sisters were pointing to other passengers while staring at him. latifah and tashiya wilson said they had no contact with him. he talked about miniature radios implanted in his ear, and fake skin, as well as white skin and black skin. he was often at odds with his attorney. >> i believe 75% of it is made up. but 25% i think is racially motivated. he's talking about black women and gang members. >> reporter: with cowell now taking center stage, many of nia's family believes it's all an act. prosecutors pushed forward, and vigorously cross examinationed powell, asking if it was true he was a drug or alcohol abuser, and bringing up some other damaging aspect of his past. each time, cowell says i don't remember. >> he also said light skin and dark skin and fake skin. that's already, that's what made me think, no, racially motivated. >> reporter: the bottom line is did john cowell know what he was doing at the time of the stabbing? that will be up to this jury of 8 women and 4 men to decide. er for the second day in a row, students at berkely high school walked out of class to protest what they call a dangerous culture of sexualthe a couple hundred students marched to district headquarters and presented a list of demands about how the district should handle, or prevent sexual assault and harassment at schools. students say berkely high needs additional staff and education for students to address its problems. >> these demands, and the problem has been around for a really, really long time. and in the greater busd. so we're excited about open ears, but we really want to see them put their money where their mouth is, and start making change. >> the protests follow a lawsuit the district was served with on friday,

injuries at the scene. >> reporter: family friends identified the victim as joe barrett. they say he had just gotten off the bus. >> he then gets transported to john muir, he's classified in life-threatening condition. >> reporter: after countless tips, they finally got a small break. there is a person and vehicle of interest, as they still work to figure out how this could have happened? >> there's no camera there that we can just review the evidence. we don't know if this 18-year- old is crossing in a legal spot. >> reporter: there is a b.a.r.t. station just up the road. >> it's a pretty big onramp, 's area from pedestrians from barred. >> reporter: barrett's family says the pain is too raw right now to speak. they're just hoping someone out there knows something, and will help get this driver off the road. if you saw anything, or you were in this area just before, or right after, to please give them a call. they say what you know, you may think is insignificant, but to them it could be that missing piece that will help them figure out what exactly happened here last night. reporting live in concord, alison rodriguez, ktvu, fox 2 news. >> all right alison, thank you very

right. >> reporter: this is the san francisco transportation agency, with support from the bicycle coalition is proposing. >> we know people are are being injured here. >> reporter: supporters want a two way separated bike lane, with concrete barriers to be put along a two mile stretch. >> i do think it's good for keeping cars from parking in the bike lane. >> reporter: a senior planner presented the idea to the board of directors last week, and they support it. next, the san francisco port commission will hear the same presentation, and give feedback. >> we're hoping port commissioners direct staff to come back and say let's make this happen. the incremental approaches are maybe a good start, but near they're not enough. >> reporter: it could mean possibly removing a northbound traffic

after the break, the new report that shows progress in the clearing of a backlog of rape kits. santa clara county supervisors were reporting some progress when it comes to sexual assaults and other crimes in the country. >> they say it all comes down to clearing a backlog of rape kits from a couple of years ago. allie rasmus explains how they're able to do it. >> reporter: it takes the santa clara county crime lab an average of 16 days to process evidence in rape and sexual assault investigations. a sharp improvement, county leaders say, compared to two years ago, when it used to take more than three months to test a sexual assault response team kit. sometimes known as a rape kit. >> why are these kits important? the reason they're so important is that once someone is sexually assaulted, they submit themselves to become literally evidence. >> reporter: when someone reports being a victim of a rape or a sexual assault, they go through a physical exam. dna and other physical evidence is collected. two years ago, santa clara county had a backlog of 270 untested kits. county leaders decided to tackle the problem, and gave the district attorney's office, the money to do it. >> about $600,000 to be able to hire two more criminalists, and then we took those two criminalists, and we assign them with other criminalists to have a five person team to look at these kits. >> reporter: jeff rosen says case in point, just this month, a woman reported being sexually assaulted by a stranger. the evidence in her case was tested the same day in the lab. within 48 hours, a suspect was identified, and arrested for the crime. in the past two years since the county added those resources, the number of reported sexual assaults and rapes in santa clara county has increased by 20%. >> is that increased because there have been 20% more sexual assaults in the last two years, or because women are coming forward in greater numbers now? >> it's a little bit harder to say. probably some of both. >> reporter: testing the evidence quickly is the right thing to do, and they plan to continue funding the program in the future. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox 2 news. another battle

headache and tiredness. ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure. president trump has put out a proposal, and democrats say it proves he's lying, and lacks values. >> more on the budget battle from washington. >> this is a heartless budget. >> typical hypocrisy. >> reporter: democrats are going straight on the attack, a day after president trump released his 2021 budget proposal. they say the suggestions include unacceptable cuts to healthcare, education, and funding for climate change. >> president trump's latest budget proposal is a blueprint for destroying america. >> reporter: republicans say the democrats shouldn't be so quick to criticize, because they've yet to propose a budget of their own. >> that is largely because of the cost of the proposal their presidential candidates and many of their members of congress have put forward. >> reporter: under the president's plan, the u.s. would spend $4.8 trillion next year. the budget would balance in 15 years. >> president trump's budget includes deficit reduction measures. specifically $4.6 trillion between 2021 and 2030. >> reporter: the acting office of management said in a statement, president trump's budget protects the american people, and offers better care at lower costs. that includes savings on medicare and medicaid. democrats say those are cuts. >> 2/3rds of the cuts are paid for by medicaid. >> reporter: he will not hold a hearing on the president's proposal. senator mike ensy says they're just a list of suggestions. federal reserve chairman jerome powell testified by the house financial services committee this morning about the state of the u.s. committee. he says despite global economic issues, the economy is strong overall, with a robust job market. >> the economic expansion is well into its 11th year. it is the longest on record. employment gains have been broad based across all racial and ethnic groups and levels of education. >> the chairman said 2019 saw increases in the gdp, and household spending remains solid. powell says business investment, and exports were weak in 2019, and factory output declined. chairman powell will testify again tomorrow before the senate banking committee. the fed chairman's comments gave them some encouragement. the stock indexes closed mostly higher. the dow finished essentially flat, slipping about a half point. the nasdaq and s & p 500 closed at all-time highs for the second straight day. the nasdaq gained more than 10 points, and the s & se more than 5 points. california lawmakers are considering a proposal that would prevent state employees from staying at trump hotels. the measure would bar workers of any state agency from spending money at a trump property, while traveling on state business. joining us now is democratic assemblyman, evan lowe of campbell. aassemblyman, explain why you think this bill is necessary. >> reporter: this is assembly bill 2020, which prohibits public taxpayer dollars being used to any president future, past, or present who might have any specific special interest in ownership of any type of hotel. we see this purveysive corruption use of authority that this president engages in, in which the president said he would divest of all financial interests, and yet you see to the contrary. he is benefiting off our taxpayers. >> how often has this happened here in california? >> reporter: we've been able to identify a single use at this time. what is important for us to determine and distinguish is, we cannot allow this to be the new normal. in fact, former president jimmy carter put his peanut farm in a blind trust. we saw the governor of the state of california, gavin newsom doing the same thing, in fact, issuing an executive order that would prevent public taxpayer dollars from many state agencies being used to benefit his own personal profits, and that's what this conversation is about. >> but assemblyman, if it has only happened one time since president trump has taken office, do you think this is really something that lawmakers there in california, there in sacramento should be taking up right now? >> reporter: well we shouldn't allow this to be the new normal. that is very clear. and what this does is make a clear statement that we expect the highest standard of the oval office. and that occupant in the oval office should abide by the same principles and values, and not benefiting him or herself for personal gain. that we hold the truth of this office for the public good, and not for their own public interest. that again is what this conversation is about. we should not allow this to be the new normal. the president indicated that he was going to drain the swamp. he is the swamp. >> you admit this is not a pervasive problem. is this bill largely symbolic, and another way for california to show its resistance to the trump administration? >> reporter: certainly this is symbolic in nature. of course. but at the same token, should we allow the president to completely disregard the basic fundamentals and stare at such an objection in the eyes of everyday taxpayers, that is wrong. even in a single instance, we must speak out. who is to know what will occur in the future of this sitting president, or in the future. it's important that we speak out when we see something that is wrong. >> assemblyman evan lowe, thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. coming up on the 4, concerns about tesla's auto pilot feature after a new report from the ntsb. up next, i'm going to talk with an expert about how the

involving auto pilot. one happened last year in florida, and the other happened in 2018 in mountain view when walter wang's tesla model x hit a barrier along highway 101. documents show wang previously complained to his wife that his tesla auto pilot had veered the suv toward that same barrier. tesla says drivers must be ready to intervene whenever auto pilot is on. the ntsb is scheduled to hold a hearing on that crash in mountain view coming up on february 25th. here to join us is wall street tech reporter, tim higgins. based on some of these new documents that have been released, is it looking more likely to you that tesla's auto pilot feature may have been to blame for these two crashes. >> reporter: that's the thing we're going to be looking for build the nssb meets later this month. this has some similarities to other crashes out in the world. the way auto pilot works is sometimes it doesn't see everything on the roadway. in fact, if something is not moving on the roadway, the system might not detect it. that's problematic, if this was a fully self-driving car, but it's not. that's why tesla says the driver, in any case, needs to be paying attention to the road. the driver is the backup system here. >> that's what tesla maintained. look, auto pilot is really just meant for driver assistance, with with that being said, do we know is tesla working on additional features to make sure that drivers, if they're using that auto pilot function, that they're also being compelled in some way to continue paying attention to the road? >> reporter: when we first started seeing these kinds of incidents a few years ago, tesla did work it to make changes to the system, to try to make sure the driver is more engaged in the driver experience. if you are not holding onto the wheel, or the wheel is not registering that you're touching it, it will start to beep at you, and warn you to reengage. you'll have to pull over and restart the car to get the thing to work again. that's the way they envision it working. that ran into some criticism from experts, including the ntsb in previous crashes. because they feel like it's just not a strong enough system to make sure the driver is paying attention. you look at a company like general motors, they have a similar system called super cruise. that has a camera that looks at the driver's eyes to make sure roadway. >> you mentioned the ntsb coming up later this month, they're going to look and reveal potentially the cause of that crash in mountain view. they're going to make some safety recommendations. what do you imagine those recommendations might be? >> reporter: in the past, the ntsb has talked about the need for these systems? general to ensure that the driver is paying attention. it works so well, the driver becomes over confident, and they almost treat it as if it was fully self-driving, which it's not. that's been one of the main criticisms about autopilot, is people think it can do more than it actually can. >> how is this playing internally within tesla? how much concern is there about the revelations in these ntsb documents, and the recommendations that could be coming from the ntsb? >> reporter: after we saw that 2018 crash here in mountain view, tesla was pretty aggressive in pointing out that the driver, according to tesla, wasn't necessarily engaged, or the hands were not being detected on the wheel, essentially laying blame on the driver. elon musk, the ceo is very quick to say, and to point to statistics from the company that would suggest that autopilot makes the car safer than other cars. that is kind of the company stance is that this is a safety improvement over basically a vehicle without it. >> all right, we have to leave it there. we always appreciate your insight. that is wall street journal tech, and auto reporter, tim higgins.today in san francisco at its annual unveiling event. the samsung galaxy unpacked 2020 took place at the palace of fine arts. three new s20 smartphones were introduced, and the highly anticipated galaxy z flip is samsung's second attempt at a folding phone. >> smartphones are part of our everyday lives, but this is no everyday smartphone. it changes everything. our phone's shape, size, and the very way we use it. >> the galaxy z flip will cost about $1,400 when it goes on sale this friday. samsung says the new smartphones also feature what it calls ghest resolution, and specks of any smartphone camera to date. it does not feel like a february weather pattern lots of sunshine. temperatures well up above the average. we're talking 80s up in the north bay, up in santa rosa. just amazing. and of course, a dry weather stretch, it continues. take a look at what you would expect for february rainfall for the entire month for santa rosa, san francisco, and san jose. 3, to 4, to 6 inches. as you know, it has been a dry start this month, and a dry forecast will continue until possibly the16th. there is a weak weather system that will bring in a slight chance of a shower, but it will be dry as we head into saturday. wondering about dry februaries here in the bay area, looking at san francisco, taking a look at the historical records here. you can see the drier februaries on record. february1967, less than a quarter inch of rain. february1899, about a tenth of an inch. february1864, zero with the rainfall that month. so hopefully, we can play catch up for the second half of february. in terms of a major storm impacting the bay area, not showing up in the short term. satellite showing you short term up there, we are in the clear. take a look at these very warm numbers. san francisco, 77 degrees. berkely 72. santa rosa, checking in 81 degrees. just amazing, as you
