This morning britains top catholic lyric announced hes resigning after being accused of misconduct. Minutes later the pope also made a big announcement. Coming up at 6 15 we will bring you a live report on all of these new developments. Congress is getting back to work today before 85 billion in automatic spending cuts begin friday. The cuts are known as the sequester. They would furlough federal workers like food inspectors and airport tsa workers. Meaning youd be paying more for beef and chicken and also face delays at airports. The sequester is delayed the budget dispute between president obama and congressional republicans. These cuts tonight have to happen. Congress can turn them off any time with just a little compromise. I wont put all the blame on the president of the united states. But the president leads. The president should be calling us over somewhere. Camp david, the white house, somewhere. And us sitting down and trying to avert these cuts. Now without a compromise, major things like defense funding, unemployment benefits, and much more will also be cut. A dispute among lawmakers over records of private gun sales is holding up a bipartisan compromise when it comes to expanding background checks. Requiring background checks for all firearms is a key part of the president s plan to curb gun violence. The checks are currently only required for sales at federally licensed dealers but not at private sales. A candle light vigil is being hold in Pleasant Hill to honor victims of the newtown school.

Ktvu janine de la vega is joining us live. She is at yahoo headquarters now. What is going on . Reporter there is a lot of chatter online on blogs and twitter about this latest move from yahoo. One person on twitter wrote that ceo Marissa Meyer work from home ban is not what she should be doing. Heres a portion of it which says quote it is critical that we are all present in our offices. Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. That memo came out on friday. Hundreds of employees are frustrated and upset because they were initially hired from the understanding they could work more flexibly. One person we spoke to this morning said that working from home ban was a bad move. I dont think that bringing people to work every day will increase productivity. It will increase cost on the employees side. That employers side. That will create a lot of discomfort is and hardship for the employees. Reporter on twitter some people are calling it a bad move and a step backwards. Other companies started encouraging yahoo employees to come work for them because they have Flexible Work policies. The new policy takes effect in june and basically suggests that if employees are not comfortable with it, maybe they should look elsewhere for work. We will be monitoring what people are saying on twitter coming up on mornings on 2 and were also going to see if we can try to find any yahoo employees or friends of friends to get opinions on that.
