For us. Political analysts predicted President Trump would announce an increase in the number of troops in afghanistan from the current level of 8,000 to 12,000. Instead the president said its time to take drastic measures in our strategy with afghanistan and shift the focus from creating democracy to killing terrorists. Terrorists, take heed. America will never let up until you are dealt a lasting defeat. Trump said tonight the middle east policies of past president s didnt work and its time for a change. We will not talk about numbers of troops or our plans for further military activities. His focus will be on stopping terrorists and abandoning the idea of nation building in the middle east. He said pakistan is turning a blind eye to terrorist hideouts and its time to hold the countrys feet to fire through whatever means necessary. Pakistan often gives safe haven to agents of chaos, violence and terror. We watched the president s address with retired marine corps colonel brendan kern

This is ktvu mornings on 2. Monday, august 21 im Gasia Mikaelian good morning im dave clark lets talk about the weather with the eclipse. Steve paulson knows how important it is. It is looking pretty gray and my concern is we need the sun and if we start going dark it will fill in. Some of it wont burn off at all. There are always a few breaks but there are a lot of low clouds in place as well. A couple of breaks around the airport but it looks like it is filling in for almost everybody. Good morning Gasia Mikaelian. A friend of mine Michael Polanski sent me a picture from his friends house in salem, oregon and they are mostly clear. Oregon and idaho are looking good although there is fire with smoke and haze. I dont see how we will get around the low fog and less some areas get some breaks but for the majo
Couple of security cameras did. This man with a black semiautomatic handgun. He was a passenger in a silver bmw sedan. A second suspect driving. They got away with 200 pre rolled marijuana cigarettes that were in a bag carried by an employee who had just left. These things tend to be someone casing and watching the place. They have some familiarity with business. Reporter it was similar to a robbery earlier this month 7 miles away at a marijuana Distribution Center where an employee was not only surprised in her car at gunpoint but forced takien to the closed facility to open a safe so the robbers could pull it out.

And talk about the solano super commute. Overall it is well. Interstate 80 looks good in both directions. On the map you can see there was a hazard sign because of an earlier, deadly crash eastbound 80 at pittman road. I am told that has been cleared. There are no lane closures on interstate 80 itself. Let me put up a live picture and show you what things look like on highway 24, westbound out of the walnut creek area. We are not seeing any crashes or slowdowns in that area. Further up the road from here, you can see the scene at interstate 880 and oakland. That is moving along nicely. Further up the road in berkeley, on the east shore freeway, a crash eastbound 80 near ashby. That could slow you down just a bit.

There is a way that berkeley is running scared. Theyre so worried about what will happen. Then the fascists have one. Thats not right. Reporter before the News Conference began, a transgender woman organizing the right wing rally spoke up represents the group, no to marxism. Our rally has nothing to do with charlottesville. I do not support right supremacy. White supremacy is not allowed at my rally. We do not want racist people or hateful people there. We also do not want to violent people there.
