[please stand by] highway 4 is a mess this morning. Weve had a couple of things go on there. A couple of crashes. The latest one is westbound 4 at bailey, which is closest to concord. Weve had a couple of incidents on highway 4. Were about to talk about one of them. In general, if this is your commute, you need to gisk yourself exra time to drive through highway 4. As we move down, southbound 238 will be closed all the way down to decoto road where we had an accident there. The bay bridge toll plaza is about a 25minute delay. San mateo bridge could be an alternate. Its moderately heavy. I dont know if i want to call that an alternate. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal.

Ktvus Tara Moriarty joins us live from the scene with more. Pretty bizarre crash. Good morning, tara. Reporter well, good morning. The chp is chalking this up to an unsafe lane c
Have serious concerns about the rising number of palestinian civilian deaths and the loss of israeli lives. Why it now has to be our focus and the focus of the International Community to bring about a ceasefire that ended the fighting and can stop the deaths of an and civilians, both in gaza and israel. Kerry will meet with allies and partners. I have instructed him to push for the immediate cessation of hostilities based on a return to the november 2012 ceasefire agreement between israel and hamas in gaza. The work will not be easy. Obviously, there are enormous passions involved in this, and some very difficult Strategic Issues involved. Nevertheless, i have asked john to do everything he can to help facilitate a cessation of hostilities. We dont want to see any more civilians getting killed. With respect to you train, it since theen four days flight was shot down over territory held by russian backed separatists in ukraine. Over the last several days our s have been absolutely broke
The region, senior fellow for the wilkins center. Thank you very much for being here. Guest my pleasure. Host what is motivating Vladimir Putin and his response . He has committed russia to direct and indirect support of these groups. Clearly evidence is mounting that these rebel groups are responsible for the downing of this plane. I dont think that he wants to abandon his rebels, the rebel groups, but at the same time he cant admit to any kind of direct support of these groups. So, he is walking a very thin line. One anticipates that his current strategy of denying involvement is the one that he will pursue until the time that this crisis begins host to die down in the headlines. Host the headline this morning from the wall street journal, pressure on Vladimir Putin. Europe, departing from their initial reactions as anger grew across the continent over the attack guest right. I think that the reaction on the ground has further anger the europeans and World Opinion as to what is going
We have a problem. We now have something that has many of the at butze of the state that is attributes of the state that is run by extremists. I think that is the main issue. It is also the case that the shia, not withstanding mr. Malikises a operations to lead them all, are divide and they may end up being two states among the shia rather than just one if iraq indeed goes the way it seems to be going, which is toward partition, and that, by the way, i will say is not an impossible outcome in afghanistan either, after our departure. So i think we need to be a bit cautious. Final observation, what we can learn from the gulf war and the iraq war, gulf war to liberate kuwait and the war to subgeographicate iraq is something very simple. We should not intervene without a war termination strategy. How are you going to end it . It is not enough to get up on air Aircraft Carrier and proclaim mission accomplished. Wars dont end until defeat is admitted. E proposed no terms to saddam. He theref
