Some of the last roadwork is still out there. Westbound 580 still looks good, lets go back to the desk. San Francisco Police are investigating two late night shootings where 6 people were shot. Joining us live where investigaters are looking at possible connections with the shootings, good morning, tara. Good morning, we want to say, its not only the fact these shootings happened so close in proximity but the fact that they happened within 20 minutes of each other and they are trying to figure out, if it is on 24th and they could not see where those shots were coming from they told police. They say one victim was just an innocent by stander. All had nonlife threatening injuries either shot in the arm or leg. 20 minutes after that, Police Responded to another one, where two people were shot in another gang related incident.

Obamas decisions on afghanistan, including up to the decision to seek the strategic agreement with the afghans that would keep a residual force there after the end of this year. But there were two aspects of the war in afghanistan that troubled me. One was the president s suspicion of the motives of the senior military, particularly when it came to the recommendations on afghanistan. And the second was what you describe. As i told rahm when i met with him, i dont mind that the president speaks out on exit strategies and so on, but the troops need to hear from their commander, the person who is sending them in harms way, that their cause is just and noble, and the mission is important for the country and, therefore, their sacrifices worthwhile. And into two and half years i worked for president obama he only did that once or twice. And i think thats one of the responsibilities of the commander in chief when he deploys men and women in harms way is that he would be willing to speak publi
Would that make it better or worse in the short term, medium term and long term and how realistic is it to even think policymakers would move in the direction of less restriction . I dont think were really discussing or considering more limitations to free speech. As Floyd Abraham said we already have legislation in place which for historical reason. The holocaust took place on our continent. Nazis was on the european continent. So this was different from leer. This there is consensus on these laws generally. So nobody thinks seriously that in france were going to have laws prohibiting or limiting the way you can draw the mohammed or mock such religion or the other one. I dont think this is being considered at this stage. What may happen and what is already happening i think is that we all will be a bit more cautious. We already saw that in 2006 when those cartoons were First Published in denmark. We had this debate about whether we should reprint them. We decided to reprint two of the
That its more than just making access available. If access is denied it doesnt make any difference whether or not you have sold those leases. Its all about being able to access them. Let me move to a second question here. And this relates to my on going frustration on behalf of king cove. You made that decision to abandon the opportunity for a roughly 300 to 1 exchange to facilitate a 10mile onelane gravel road. You made that decision december 23rd of 2013. Do you know when king cove saw its most recent medivac . Im not aware of their most recent it was sunday. Sunday night. Do you know how many medivacs have been carried out so far . Is theres been five. Do you know how many were carried out last year . There were 16. 16 were coast guard, ten were noncoast guard. Do you know how many have been carried out . 21 medivacs. 7 coast guard, 14 noncoast guard. Now, as you and i know, its not the coast guards mission to provide merks edivacs services. But they do so because they are the only
