first statute, james crumbly completed atf form 3509-a. ethan crumbly's social media post revealed photos of the semiautomatic handgun, with the caption, just got my new beauty today including an emoji heart, sig sauer. subsequent to the purchase of that weapon, one of jennifer crumbly's social media posts on about 11/27/21, mom and son day testing out his new christmas present, end quote. on november 21st, 2021, a teacher observed him researching ammunition in class. jennifer crumbly was contacted via voice mail by school personnel regarding the son's inappropriate internet search. school personnel indicate they followed that voice mail up with an email, but received no response from either parent. therefore, jennifer crumbly exchanged text messages about the incident with her son on that day, stating, quote, lol, i'm not mad at you, you have to learn not to get caught, unquote. on november 30th, 21, the morning of the shooting, the next day, ethan crumbly's teacher came upon a note on ethan's desk, which alarmed her, to the point that sh

the new james wham telescope, however, will be beyond human reach. it will remain in the earth shadow, some one and a half 1000000 kilometers away. tracking the planets orbit around the sun. the base of the satellite telescope will permanently face sun words, a sun shade, the size of a tennis court will stretch across its supply unit. it will shield the telescope and it's instruments from light pollution. with the wind telescope, 6 and a half meter mirror dwarfs hovels reflector, it's made up of 18, hexagonal segments coated with a thin layer of vaporized gold. which reflects in for red light especially well. the mirrors body is made of beryllium, a light white metal which holds its form even an extreme cold, hard to believe. but it took only 48 grams of gold to coat all its segments. remote controlled actuators are mounted on the back of each segment. the small motors can pivot and turn them in 6 directions. to take really clear photographs, the segments will be adjusted exactly once the telescope is out in space. the main mirror collects light and

what will james webb be able to do that hobble? couldn't there are several things here. we're talking about telescope that's using technology. this 30 is a bombs what you have with them. looking at a much larger diameter power telescope comes from its ability to collect the light from the universe. in this case, we're talking about infrared, like the fact that we're using infrared light is another advantage for many of the things that we want to study. for instance, plants around of the sauce, a red light preferentially. so there are many advantages to the change from my understanding, we're talking essentially about going back in time. and as we had met, pe said that the james webb will be able to take a fingerprint, if you will, all of the universe. what does, what does that mean? well, we can go back in time to see in the sense that we can pick up things that are very few are what we're going to get to the very edges of the observable universe. as far as 13 are 1000000000 light years away and anything that's making a radiation at that distance from us, we should be ab

and soon, thanks to the james webb telescope. she'll be able to study galaxies that are far, far away. ones that even with the hubble telescope only appear as ducks in space. the new telescope will provide a much clearer view of these objects. the light from those distant worlds has taken more than 12000000000 years to reach us. so it dates back to a time when black holes were gobbling up huge amounts of material and blasting out powerful radiation winds. the data should reveal what effect that had on the galaxies around them. does that and apples i and isn't it? the data won't just be 2 dimensional one and a picture cut out from a larger image, but 3 dimensional analysts and so going on. so in other words, there's a spectrum hiding behind each and every pixel on that 2 dimensional image is that's my day off lamb inspect home fish decked. those spectra will show how much gas is contained in these distant galaxies, how fast that gas is moving, and even in what direction it's moving. vullez select says that data will allow us to be

ok, james landale, thank you for— military action. 0k, james landale, thank you for that _ military action. 0k, james landale, thank you for that lesson. - england's cricketers have slumped to a nine—wicket defeat in the first ashes test in brisbane. after fighting back on the third day, they lost their last eight wickets for 77 runs and were bowled out for 297, leaving australia to score just 20 runs for victory. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with owain wyn evans. hello, hello, everyone, i hope you're doing all right. now, most of us will notice temperatures rising across the uk today, but those rising temperatures will come courtesy of a weather front which, in turn, will also bring some rain, so there is your headline for the weekend. yes, turning milder, but rain at times. let's have a look at the air mass. you can see the blue colours being replaced by the warmer tones, the yellows, the oranges. this triangle here is called the warm sector. you can see it drawing up the milder air from the south. where you see the line, that is the boundary, that

james, back to you. thanks. it's 5. '02, and happening today. bay area schools are going to be on high alert. there was a disturbing tiktok challenge going on and it threatens violent. yeah. the tick talk threat has appeared in school districts nationwide. it's so serious. in fact, that one high school is canceled. classes today. >> just out of abundance of caution. we have kron four's will tran live for us in the east bay with more on this. well. >> that's cool that we're talking about james. it's gilroy high school and they have finals set for today. and you know how important finals are, but they're not messing around. they've already told the parents and the kids we will push that back until january now other schools, they will have classes today, including the one right behind me. despite them and everybody else pretty much in the country seeing the threat. so let me pull it up for you. it's making its way around social media. and as you know, james and area, it just takes seconds to reach millions

per statute, james crumbley completed atf form 5300-9a. ethan crumbley's social media posts revealed photos of the semi-automatic handgun along with the caption "just got my new beauty today" including an emoji with hearts, "sig sauer 9 millimeter, any questions i will answer," unquote. subsequent, one of jennifer crumbley's social media posts read, quote, mom and son day, testing out his new christmas present, end quote. on november 21, '21, a teacher at the oxford high school observed ethan crumbley searching ammunition on his cellphone during class and reported the same to school officials. jennifer crumbley was contacted via voicemail by school personnel regarding the son's inappropriate internet search. school personnel indicate they followed that voicemail up with an email but received no response from either parent. thereafter, jennifer crumbley exchanged text messages about the incident with her son on that day stating, quote, lol, i'm not mad at you, you have to learn not to get caught, end quote. on november 30, '21, the morning

james webb telescope _ mission, what will it tell us? james webb telescope will _ mission, what will it tell us? james webb telescope will be _ mission, what will it tell us? james webb telescope will be able - mission, what will it tell us? james webb telescope will be able to - mission, what will it tell us? james webb telescope will be able to see j webb telescope will be able to see unprecedented images of the universe, from galaxies to early universe, from galaxies to early universe, exoplanets, planets of her own solar system as well, infrared sensitivity is unprecedented, this will help astronomers to compare the faintest and earliest galaxies of the universe to today's galaxies, and this will hopefully ring us to understand how galaxies assemble and evolve over billions of years. also it will create better grass, helping us to take images of planets, like we imagine in science fiction. but to these images we can learn so much, we can learn how how the seasons, the rotation, weather, then we have to use that to idolise the atmosph

noel, james, back to you. thanks for a big story we're following this half hour as omicron takes over as the dominant variant here in the united states. the president has announced several big steps. >> to mitigate the impact and that includes making home tests available for washington correspondent basil john has the story. president joe biden says americans do not need to panic but need to do their part to prevent the omicron variant from doing real damage. well want us to still tuesday. president joe biden announced new steps. the federal government is taking as omicron cases rise throughout the country to prepare. we know more just stay focused. the president's winter plan includes expanding hospital capacity deploying additional medical personnel and supplies like ventilators and increased access to free testing and vaccines will be deploying hundreds more vaccinators and more sites to help get the booster shots in people's arms. the increased testing includes 500 million at-home tests that will be distri

james, back to you. thank you, ray. it is 6 o wanted today convicted killer scott peterson is going to be re-sentenced to life in prison without parole. >> peterson was convicted of killing his wife and unborn son. his death sentence was overturned by the california supreme court last year and kron four's will tran is live in san mateo county with a preview of what we'll expect to happen as this plays out, will. >> this will happen in 4 hours from now. here is what you need to know. scott peterson will not be a free man after this. it is just a re sentencing because as you talked about james, the california supreme court looked at this and they realized that the judge in the case made an error when it came to a questionnaire about the death penalty and jurors being excuse from that. so that is why it is a re sentencing. nothing official. but the speculation is he will be instead of the death penalty, which by the way, has a moratorium right now because of governor gavin newsome instead of the death penalty. he will inst

james, back to you. thank you reyna 71 is today is the memorial service for our kron 4 security guard kevin nishita who was gunned down in oakland happened last month. he was out there guarding one of our reporter crews when somebody came up and opened fire. >> kron four's will tran is standing by in san jose this morning with more on today's service will. >> james. let me add just a little texture to kevin this year. i was out at scott peterson's trial yesterday. his re sentencing and i talked to his colleagues. none of them. our surprise. he did what he did that he spent a whole lifetime protecting people. he was a police officer. so running in to protect somebody else. nobody is surprised that he did that. unfortunately he paid for that with his life. and that is why we are here this morning at the san jose civic center where in 5 hours from now, there will be a memorial service and we expect hundreds of thousands of people to show up. he worked at 3 bay area police departments. so they more than like

james is one of them. the science he said, be keeping on a farm can offset the destruction of natural pollinators. protecting the rest of the ecosystem will take more. malcolm web al jazeera miranda can yeah. let's get some more analysis on this from met. neal who's a professor of anthropology at the iowa state university. he joins us live now from iowa. hello, matt. so you've been studying this very issue of insecticides and their impact on base. what did you discover? yeah, we've been looking at this issue in iowa where many of our crops use variety of insecticides, including some of the ones that are mentioned in kenya. and we're addressing this in a couple of ways, one, looking at how farmers could reduce the use of insecticides that they're using in their crops. but also asking how much exposure bees are experiencing in the crops in an adjacent habitat that's designed for it to conserve. and, and what we found is that there are bees that are at risk of exposure to these insecticides. they are showing

as the james webb space telescope blasted off. then, the rocket casing opened up and attend the skate was released into the darkness of space with a one million mile journey ahead. but as it travels, it has a fiendishly occult task to do. -- difficult task to do. unfolding. >> we did not have any rocket big enough to launch it fully deployed. so we had to fold it up to fit inside the rocket. this is really, really difficult engineering, but nasa has never shied away from doing fficult things. i have full confidence it will work. reporter: unfurling the sun shield is the most difficult part of this process. it is the size of a tennis court. first, its two halves are lowered into position, then booms are deployed. it involves 400 pulleys, 400 meters of cabling, and more than 100 release mechanisms that have to work at exactly the right time. finally, the five layers of the sun shield, each as thin as a human hair, separates. the whole process has been rehearsed again and again on earth, but doing this in space will be nailbiting. >>

in 1925 james dies. the man with the money is no longer there he is given the money there is a $6 million endowment in the trust he dirty given to million dollars in his will that's not going to build 20 million cubic feet of building. administrators sent back to the design team 20 million cubic feet of building to 12 million cubic feet, 42% of your profit, the consultants in this room i remember that project, things change, we can't build this and this wonderful homestead landscape anything in piedmont we came back with this plan i'm pretty sure this is exclusively and whether some people think that they studied their and we haven't heard if that's been confirmed by you get a different sent this is about architecture and architecture form on the landscape uc it doesn't address the landscape here is the rendered version of that. you still get some elements of the picture and the sweeping drive, there was a lake left at that point. there is still a geyser fountain. but all of that gets. this is to jump ar

good morning, james. >> hi, james. good morning to shopping in stores on the saturday before christmas, which is super saturday down 26% from pre pandemic levels. now they were up from last year. according to sensormatic about 19% higher inflation, fear of covid a lack of foreign tourists are to blame for that. many retailers have extended their return windows for the holidays. a survey by consumer world dot org from many major retailers continue to recognize the longer holiday shopping season and they're giving customers more time to make returns. will average gas prices continue to fall as the omicron variant spreads. gasbuddy says gas prices, a very likely to continue declining this week and we may see is a nationwide average below the record high that we saw back into 3rd, 2000, $3.26. a gallon. 2 places in san francisco. the current price is for 84 a gallon a week ago it was for 86 and t mobile's raising its minimum wage to $20 an hour amid a labor crunch. the move follows the trend of large companies raising thei

it seems like the same way that you and i do, where is the james web space? telescope is an infrared telescope, so it actually is almost like using night vision goggles. we're looking for thermal energy or heat from objects around the solar system in our galaxy and in the universe. it is going to be revolutionary because we have access now to these, these wavelengths and sensitivity a capability with a james web space telescope that we haven't had with any other facility. so it's like taking hovel, moving it to a whole different area of science, and really started studying some of the fundamental things that we haven't been able to to really understand with the hubble space telescope, just due to the nature of the, the observatory itself. so j w s t is definitely going to rewrite the textbooks and it's going to be as revolutionary as the hubble space telescope was for. for the last generation, dr. stephanie milan from nasa got her face flight center. thank you so much for all of your insights. thank you so much for having me. but sooner attention now to sudan

attorney general james is seeking to question donald trump under oath in her office in january. attorney general james civil investigation is separate from the ongoing criminal investigation by the manhattan district attorney's office into whether the trump organization committed tax fraud. in a statement, donald trump's lawyer said quote we are not concerned about it because he has done nothing wrong. we will wait until we see what they show us this their subpoena, and we will respond with our motions. this is purely political, and he has done nothing wrong and we are not surprised at all. hours after the news broke that attorney general james would subpoena donald trump she issued this statement saying i have come to the conclusion that i must continue my work as attorney general. there are a number of important investigations and cases that are underway, and i intend to finish the job. i am running for reelection to complete the work new yorkers elected me to do. that was very bad news for donald trump, and that was more good news for the first woman governor of new york, kat

i'm james fletcher. and as john has been warning us, it is going to be a wet week. >> as we work our way towards christmas. so be prepared for that. if you plan on driving around to get to friends. give yourself a little extra time do last minute shopping. of ship thing you might want to do. all of that have to go to the grocery store still pick up few last minute items for christmas dinner. got some people coming over so okay. and for the dry moments to do that. and there's not a lot of dry moments they are in short order you definitely want to pay attention to this one. today is a consistently dry day. the only day in this forecast. >> with no chance of rainfall. that's today. so get out there and enjoy every bit of it and maybe get some stuff done. as know helen chambers were alluding to looking outside this morning. skies are clear and now we are seeing some fog further inland, but just some partly cloudy conditions elsewhere, current temperatures are anywhere from the 40's to the 50's half moon bay.

the b james w. the telescope comes to me to fill a gap in the what we call the electromagnetic spectrum. they hubble space telescope piece of serving the baseball part of the spectrum on a little bit of the near infrared. and then the james w is one to offset from the nearing progress to the middle infrared, which is important when the, which is neglect, seem absurd before when not to these level. and then of course, we have the herschel, the casual observatory that was working a few years ago, or sort of in the fighting progress, which is also very interesting. it was a very successful telescope. also like rush point in the lug around 2 point with a middle 3 and a half meters. it was quite a big telescope, almost does because these one. but yes, it is very important to serve in this part of the, of the spectrum to locate, as you said, the very, the very 1st stars that emerge from the dark gauge of the universe, a few 100000000 years after the big bang. we have the stars emerging on the 1st kind of

well, james sweeney has more from the new york stock exchange. hi james. good to see. the stocks are edging higher as we approach the end of the year to the markets feel that i'm a crown is less of a threat than previously thought. well, i can't really speak on behalf of all of the markets, but evidence would suggest that to be the case is overcome less of a threat to the markets. yes, it has been here. the u. s. at least we went from being told to be inferior, but deadly 3rd, very and so, well, it's more can they just what contagious to delta, but not as deadly to the cdc here, recommending tend to quarantine for break 2 cases. so now, recommending 5, just yesterday you bet, hundreds of celebrities athletes, traitors here on wall street. they've gotten it. they're back on camera, they're back playing, sports bells is across the world. have it right here in new york city, there's thousands lighting up. they're just being safe. they're being cautious and trying to prevent the sped, but is oma chromos of a threat. for the most part here in the united states, it is now yo

they said actually james earl ray -- moment of madness. he didn't do it and said they cooked up the scheme by which they would blame the assassination of martin luther king on a mysterious man named raul. who is raul? there is no role. they made up that much about him, but they never got much further with it than that. >> james earl ray is in solitary at -- mountain prison in tennessee. the last of the five men who broke out with him last friday night was caught this morning. today wray's lawyer was on hand, so was eric returns to report what the lawyers had to say about his client. this is jack or shaw, he's james earl ray's attorney and he talked to ray this morning, he told reporters that wray is okay physically, exhausted mentally, and sorry he tried to escape. he said there was no conspiracy to help reyes cape. >> i think we can discount the outside help. with any -- i hope there did be -- >> did he plan escape? >> no. >> who did? >> don't know. >> wray refused to talk to these investigators for the house and assassinations committee

this is what james duke wanted. this is how he wanted to spend his money on his 2,700 acres and he wanted to make a public park. going back to campus park, they're not separate landscapes but all versions of the same thing. this is the aesthetic and the experience that he liked. i saw one quote he said where he had planted 2 million trees on his property which i find a little exaggerated, but you get the sense when you look at -- you know, look closer up and you see the lakes. you know, the idea of water, trees and the interplay of topography was very much part of james duke before duke university came along. so if you look at this and if you can see through the glare, and see the lakes and see how the circuitous roads come around, and then you switch to this is an early master plan, 1925 up. and you'll see more detail. don't worry too much about it here. you can see the campus being laid out. so the idea for the -- from the beginning was this campus was going to be placed with lakes. so keep that in mind. water was

it is hoped that james webb telescope will be able to tell us more about the origins of the universe. also coming up, thousands take to the streets of sudan, calling for democracy 2 months after a military coup. security forces, fire tier gases, 1st, the crowds and to cut off internet service in a bid to stop the latest protest. and in his annual christmas addressed german president, frank walter, sty meyer appeals for unity amid the tensions and frustrations of pandemic. anti thanks. the sand majority who chose to get vaccinated. ah, i'm marrying a evans dean. welcome. scientists are celebrating the launch of the most powerful telescope ever built. the james web space telescope lifted off a border rocket from the european space agency base in french, guiana. it's hove to, they'll provide new insights about the origins of the universe and possibly extra terrestrial life. and we have in store this, the collision, a new era of space exploration takes off on board the biggest and most advanced astronomical observatory ever launched. the james web space telescope will help solve mysteries

at that time, james madison was 36-years-old. james madison was the first politician. set the stage about how you ended up doing this in the first place and in the meantime, i will work

it's hopes that james, where we'll be able to tell us more about the origins of the universe. ah, i'm rebecca britt, as welcome to the program. we began in see don, where thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of hot whom and other cities demanding a transition to civilian rule. the rallies come to mounts, offer a military coup. the civilian prime minister, abdullah, hum dock has since been reinstated. but the pro democracy movement once a government free from military control. ah, t gas and water cannon against a growing movement. angry at military roll sedans. capitol cartoon was once again the scene of mass pro democracy protests. a military crew in october through the countries transition to democracy into disarray. and the reinstatement of the military and civilian government a month later, failed to ease anger at the armies power grab. when we are here and we still believe in the 3 nose, no legitimacy, no bargaining, no partnership with the military. the military does not rule us and we demand the handover of full power to civilians. we demand civilian democra

gloria james. >> all right. thanks a lot 52 right now and too bad for warriors fans who really were hoping to get klay thompson for it would be the christmas miracle fortunately that look at what's going to happen. we've got sports director jason dumas with the explanation. the wait for clay thompson's highly anticipated return. we'll have to wait a little bit longer. many people had hoped it could come next week. but reports have surfaced that it will not be in till at least the 28th of december that would be against the denver nuggets. the 2 following home game after that day are january. 3rd and january 9 for other possible day they can play now let's check out the college kids stanford hosting brendan, very right here. yes, brendan barry he is actually related to rick perry play for dartmouth and he was hoping to 20 points and they were winning for a lot of that game. but here's harrison ingram you depict muscles his way inside weight room. he gives them the lead right there. now stanford down to final shot.

ellen james, back to you. thanks, rea. we've got a big story we're following this half hour as omicron taking over as the dominant variant here in the united states. the president. >> announced several big steps to try and mitigate the impact and that includes providing take home tests for everybody for free. our washing correspondent basil john has more on that. >> president joe biden says americans do not need to panic but need to do their part to prevent the omicron variant from doing real damage. well want us to still tuesday. president joe biden announced new steps. the federal government is taking as omicron cases rise throughout the country to prepare. we know more just stay focused. the president's winter plan includes expanding hospital capacity deploying additional medical personnel and supplies like ventilators and increased access to free testing and vaccines will be deploying hundreds more vaccinators and more sites to help get the booster shots in people's arms. the increased testing includes 500 million at-h

james, where begins a voyage back to the birth of the universe. mm. punching a hole through the clouds. 20 seconds into the flight. good pity program reported. i know that vehicle performance is nominal. the ari on 5 rocket continues to fly up hill and nominal fashion, the rumble of a powerful hour. i felt here on the control center 3 d animation like a cancer. no sense of i by chance. yeah. you're right. throw up. yeah. oppressive. 13 kilometers an altitude 7 kilometers down range, traveling about a point 6 kilometers per 2nd about so normally the trajectory reported to be nominal by john, look, voyer the range operations manager you can see at the bottom of your screen. the yellow line is the trajectory plot perfectly overlayed over the green line, which was the pre launch trajectory. one minute 41 seconds end of the flight. about 40 seconds away fraud as it comes down to the solid rocket boosters. coming up on the 2 minute mark, end of the flight went in the text, the threshold next generations of this, not this direction, but a let's say we're

james, back to you. thanks a lot a 7 '02 in our top story california's new indoor mask mandate is in effect and there are some exceptions. there are. yeah. at least one bay area the state is allowing it to keep its own health orders from asking in place. for now. >> for sarah stinson is going to sort this all out for us reporting live in the city. good morning, sara. >> good the state made some major updates to the mask mandate saying that counties that already have a mask requirement in place or a health order in place can keep that in place. they won't mess with that. but if the county does not require masks. well, it's time to do so. starting today, for example, here in san francisco. you could go to a gym and if you're vaccinated, you can be maskless now the state did announce this mask mandate originally on monday saying that this would apply to every county in california to mask-up indoors regardless of vaccination status. an update now listed on the state website says the mask mandate only applies

what will james webb be able to do that hobble? couldn't there are several things here. we're talking about telescope that's using technology. this 30 is an a bomb to what you have with them. looking at a much larger diameter power telescope comes from its ability to collect the light from the universe. in this case, we're talking about infrared, like the fact that we're using it for red light is another advantage for many of the things that we want to study. for instance, plants around of the sauce and made in for red light preferentially. so there are many advantages to the change. what from my understanding, we're talking essentially about going back in time. and as we just had met, pe said that the james webb will be able to take a fingerprint, if you will, all of the universe. what does, what does that mean? well, we can go back in time to see in the sense that we can pick up things that are very far away. i mean, we're going to get to the very edges of the observable universe as far as 13 and a half 1000000000 light years away. and anything that's making a radiatio
