It was scary for passengers. Reporter scary moments. A man said he was here the night it happened. Meanwhile we heard from bart pd in just the last half hour. At this point, no word about any arrests in this case. If police have any leads, theyre keeping those leading pretty close to the vest. Meanwhile passengers are still learning the details about the incident as they make where way through the turn styles here at the coliseum bart station. All of this unfolded around 9 30 start night. Witnesses tell police that the teens rushed the dublin bound bart train demands purses, wallets and cell phones. The whole robly took about 30 seconds, with the Group Getting on and off the train before the doors could closed. Two passengers were punched in the face and treated for head injuries at the scene.

Bart are trying to identify the suspects through Surveillance Video and are working with Oakland Police and oakland schools and Housing Authority to find the teens. Bart says there were Police Officers here at the time of the robbery. The officers were out in the parking lot area. They were alerted to the fact that this robbery was underway. By the time they made their way up to the platform, the robbers had already escaped. Remember, this only took about 30 seconds in all for the robbers to go through the train and clear the passengers out of their belongings. I guess what is scary is if its that quick and even though there are Police Officers in the parking lot, then what are people supposed to do . I suppose just be alert because theres not much that you can do. Reporter right. Its one of those situations where police cant be everywhere at once. Obviously they want to be out in the parking lot to make sure that cars are not burglarized out there or nobody is robbed out there or anything like that. At the same time, they have to make their way up to the program foam as quickly as possible platform as quickly as possible. This unfolded in 30, 40 seconds. It is difficult to get up to the platform in time to grab any of the robbers.

President trump seems to be backing away funding a board he wall and the white house is not confident that the government will remain open. Doug luzader has more from washington. Reporter the president would apparently like to get this Government Shutdown issue off the table to pivot to some other issues, including perhaps tax reform ahead of marking his first 100 days in office this week. Is the border wall idea dead . Maybe not in the long run, but President Trump was said to tell a gathering of conservative journalists at the white house yesterday that he is willing to push back his demand for wall funding in order to ink a government funding deal this week. Absent that, democrats had warned that a Government Shutdown was looming because they wouldnt sign off on a wall. Democrats have been long clear that the border wall is a nonstarter. Reporter so what will trump get out of a potential deal . Perhaps more resources to beef up border security. Not wall funding but something to show his base that he is following through on a campaign pledge. The wall is a big metaphor. I think if donald trump can get something in that government funding bill about border security, he can claim victory and the democrats can say they didnt vote to fund the wall. A shortterm budget deal may be one more reason for the markets to celebrate. The dow was already up over 200 points yesterday.

I mean if they wont provide a venue, i dont have to provide abide by the restrictions. I can give it at a normal time when students are available. I suppose i guess it could be given by a mega phone from sprawl hall. Im planning to give my speech. We saw what happened when Milo Yiannopoulos came to cal. There was violence. They were throwing paint on people. And they ended up canceling the speech because they were concerned about safety. Chances are when you come up on thursday, its going to turn into a circus. There will be protesters. There could be violence. Your thoughts on that. Im not even milo. I mean for petes sake im a 12 time New York Times best selling author. I would guess that the administration is well on notice that can happen and the Berkeley Police are well on notice. So i assume they will take appropriate action. Some people would say ann coulter is all about ann coulter. Ann coulter wants to promote ann coulter. Ann coulter wants to come here and she is going to come here on thursday and try to insight people. I know people like to say that. They always like to say that. It could not be i mean, in some sense, i mean, i write books. Im trying to change peoples minds about things. Theres a promotional aspect. In particular, the idea that im trying to get publicity off of this event could not be further from the truth on the facts. I mean, for one thing you dont want to give me publicity, i have an idea, dont shut down my speech. The actual facts of how this case has progressed. I mean, as berkeley was was loading up these kids with requirements for my speech, it has to be in the daytime, only students can come, we wont tell you where it is, the Student Group sponsoring me said no this is outrageous. Lets pull out and issue a press release saying theyre violating your First Amendment rights and i said no. No. I really just want to give the speech. No press release. I said okay. Okay. Okay. Whatever requirements they put on my speech, i said okay. And then the next thing i know, one morning last week i wake up and berkeley has gonna head and canceled it anyway. I think we know why they were loading up my speech with the requirements. They were trying to force us to cancel. But we didnt. So they lepta head and canceled it unilaterally. And i still didnt i said no press release. I will call jerry brown. He is an old lefty like bernie sanders. He will see the outrageousness of this. Lets quietly make phone calls and get them to say i can give a speech. Theyre the ones, berkeley administrators, leaked the cancellation of my speech to the San Francisco chronicle. At that point, yeah, i responded. I was invited to give a speech. I have a contract to give a speech. Im giving a speech. Again that was Frank Somerville with ann coulter. With regard to the comment about bernie sanders, here is what he is saying. What are you afraid of, her ideas . Ask the hard questions and con front her intellectually.

Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, the controversial bill being considered by california lawmakers. An increase in tech workers leaving the bay area.

Thats why new downy protect and refresh conditions fibers to lock out odors. So clothing odors dont do the talking for you. Lock out odors with new downy protect and refresh. Well, according to indeed, a Search Engine for job listings, there is an increase in tech workers looking for work outside of the hubs of Silicon Valley and San Francisco. In a survey earlier this month, indeed found that 30 of tech workers are looking for looking outside of the areas for jobs. That is a 41 growth since 2012. Now, the reasons for the interest outside of the area include a cheaper cost of living and less competition. San jose based Digital University is hoping to turn things around by training and keeping tech workers here. And they also offer the tech sectors first masters of Internet Business degree. Were joined by cofounder and head of digital trance formation steve catagan. I was reading more about you. You were at linkedin and you went overseas and found out there is another program like this similar to what youre doing here. We got approval from the state of california to offer the masters was started in spain nine years ago in an economy where there is 30 unemployment. Businesses could not find the skills they needed. Were not talking about programmers or software engineers. Were talking about digital professionals. So Many Companies are going through digital transformation. I have friends who introduced me to these folks three or four years ago and i was guest lecturing with them over time and we determined that need exists here. It even exists in Silicon Valley which is ironic when you think about so many technologies being based here and founded here. But the reality is that so many workers, regardless of your industry, regardless of what profession youre in, whether its retail or banking, your jobs are changing. We havent found any schools or institutions that are tackling this in a way. Are the folks the macys and jc pennies and barnes and noble lining up at your door. Absolutely. A lot of folks we hear a lot of people asking, should i change my career because the internet is changing business . And the answer is not really. You dont have to. I think you have to be better at what you do and be more digitally savvy. Thats what we want to do, help people at macys or maybe the people that used to be at kodak or people in the car industry who are watching tesla helping them be great at what they do. It is nine months, it is a masters, an advanced agree. People have tech comfort, not necessarily savvy. What are they going to get when they finish this course and say i have this degree in my hand. Here is what i can do know. The biggest frustration that i find in talking to people is that the world is changing faster than our ability to keep up with it. Theres always these new sexy ads or new technologies that are changing the way that people do work. What we want to offer with our program is not only introduce people to what you need to do to be effective today in the business world, the Digital Business world, but to be prepared for the inevitable changes coming. A lot of times they ask, steve, what are the most business skills today . I can tell you what i think they are. The truth is dont you want to be prepared for the business challenges and skills needed for tomorrow and the year after. Steve, can students come back after they have graduated and check back in and say, hey, this is new now. Refresher . Yes. Absolutely. Were building an ecosystem. We want our alumni to come in and talk about the changes in their organizations and be able to help. Today it is impossible to know everything. So, frank, what i would say is our alumni network, we want an ecosystem to help you not only in the classroom but beyond to find answers. How much does it cost and when am i going to school . When do i go to a class. The First Program is launched this september. Were looking to fill a class of 60 people. We still have open spaces. The cost is 27,000. And were finding a lot of really excited interest. Not only from individuals but also increasingly from organizations in the area that have a demographic of employees that we want to help them raise their need. How long is the program. Nine months. Nine months, 27,000. Why not offer it online. We want to be able to reach much more broadly after the first class. Are you seeing companies subsidizing their own employees to go learn. Yes. Today because of the disruption and so Many Companies that are gaining these billion doctor valuations so quickly is Companies Need to build to thrive quickly and they dont have the time to invest in developing their own people. We want to take the burden off some of the enterprises. People are not working at companies for 20, 30 years. Theyre working there for four or five years and off to the next job. how does that affect to what youre teaching. Millennials by the age of 40 will have 11 different jobs. What were seeing in the bay area is two and a half years staying at a company. So i think that companies are challenged with how do we invest in our people and individuals are challenged how do i find a good place to learn the skills to put me in the front of the line in my organization.

And we have such a big heart and were multi taskers. So i think any time that you diversify an industry, it helps everyone in the industry do better. That is important. Yeah. It is 2017. You would think there would be more women. Is there still resistance from men of women trying to come in and take some of the jobs. I think it is one of the industries where who you know gets advanced. Right. So we have to put more women in the conversation so that they can then advance their career. And thats what were trying 20 do. Tell us about some of the top positions. People think of the artists. Thats an easy one. You talked about people behind the scenes. Operations manager. Right. Is there one area that you say you will love this. This is similar to the tech industry. What is the one area that you need to get women in there. Producers and sound engineers. Those are majorly male. There is an organization in San Francisco promoting sound engineers. Do you find that people have the skills or are you trying to get women into the programs that will teach them the skills. We want to inspire them that you can do this career. It is about empowering the women. Wouldnt that be a cool job. A lot of people dont realize it because you see a lot of girl bands and women artists. But the people who help them get to stage is a lot of men. Exactly. There are so many different careers. Women can break in in every Different Department of the Music Industry.
