Really an earth day kind of guy. Thank you pam, and dave. We have a nice forecast for earth day if you like temperatures warming up and lets face it, its been kind of a cool a, the warmaking to jews with patchy little clouds and now san jose has checked in at 49 and san jose at 49, 3026 on the pressure and south southeast at three but High Pressure is large and in charge and its not going anywhere anytime soon it looks like its going to hang around for the rest of the month. Temperatures are on their way up above average and a couple days ago they were below but not anymore, 60s, 70s and 80s and let the if theres any improvement. Thats right. At the off ramp there, on 680 and 84 essentially theres a truck that was carrying ethanol and it came off the side of the road and kind of one into the ditch there it is on the side. Heres a life picture where you can see the traffic and the lanes are closed off on south 680 and it would be a much bigger deal if this were a normal commute. With a
We are above average and that trend is going to continue. There is a lot of rain headed towards the pacific northwest. Patchy fog is going to give way pretty rapidly. We have 60s the bay. Remember monday when we were below average . Not anymore. Lets head over to sell now. We had one issue at 680 earlier. We have had a couple of minor issues but 680 has been the major one. Southbound 680. Traffic has been impacted by a big greg crash. As we take a look at the traditional grade, this is okay but on 680 southbound. As you drive on koopman offramp, you cannot get off there. They are offloading a big greg that crashed earlier. Earlier today enforcement begins around the bay area under requirements to wear a mask. Sarah is working from home and has the details. Good morning sarah. Reporter a few days ago, i went to the store and you cannot go inside some businesses without a mask.

Joined by a faster of iranian studies at stanford university. Professor, we appreciate you coming on here. We learned these new developments out of iran and iraq. Is this the response that you expected to see from iran . This was that response that i had hoped iran with that make because i hope that they would show some prudence and weight. But given the kind of rhetoric from trump in the 24 hours, it seemed like the iranian leadership had literally boxed himself in the corner where something other than this could have been seen as deceitful. Professor, were dcu things going from here . I think it depends on whether american lives are going to be lost in this. We dont know how much damage has been done. We dont know how they intend to continue with this and was originally dont know what there certain response would be. The president decides to carry out the threat that he has made, i think we are in for a major confrontation and it will definitely be very, very costly for that region o
Military leader, Something Like this was going to happen. I was briefed on friday, and did not believe that the intelligence that the president cited just about any imminent c2 take out such a senior leader. Something that we have never, we have not done since 1944 when we shut down a plane with the japanese admiral. It was really on a precedented act of escalation and it clearly has put us in harms way, american servicemembers, who do not deserve to be running for their lives right now. Again, all this set of by the u. S. Strike that killed the top Iranian Military leader, Qassem Soleimani, invited last week. They had evidence that he was planning attacks on american. Secretary of state mike pompeo said, the u. S. Was prepared to act if iran retaliated. Joining us now is dr. The director of iranian studies at stanford. First of all, professor, your reaction to all of this. I am surprised, i am saddened. Lives might be lost in all of this. This morning, listening to the iranian media a
Okay. Im john limbert. I was in the Foreign Service for 34, 35 years. Ed served in the middle east or islamic africa. During that time, i didnt see what you would call a lot of big successes. There was not a lot of saving the world. Stop iping a coup. Averting a humanitarian disaster, stopping a war, the kind of thing you might seema dam secretary accomplish in her half hour series. I was the opposite. Trouble seemed to follow me where i went. I saw a lot of military mutinies. A lot of coups. I served in iraq. I served in iran. I served in sudan. None of which places were you would call a triumph for american di ploplomacy. But thinking about, think bing about this, i want to tell a story from iran in 1980. I lived in iran as a teacher. As a researcher. My wife was iranian. Is iranian. And so i felt i knew the country fairly well. And i went the there as a diplomat in august of 1979. That was about six months after the fall of the, after the fall of the shah and as some may remember, i
