2010. it's been over a decade that puts the storm into contextual perspective. it's significant and continues to pound the state with heavy rain and snow there have been some locations that have topped 13.5 inches of precipitation. no wonder there are flood watches through the weekend and lasting to sunday morning for the san francisco bay region. some of those flood watches extend inland as this tropical connection where it's originating really just south of hawaii. it extends into the the state. you can folt cloud cover. it's i want credible to see this amount of clouds stretching hundreds and thousands of miles across the pacific ocean bringing that constant river in the sky. so the precipitation is not
2:07 am
done. it continues to oscillate north and south throughout the state. we still have some residual runoff from saturday into sunday. hence the flash flood threat that's ongoing. pz here's the projected future rainfall going forward. on top of what's already taken place, we could see another 2 to 4 inches of rain across the central valley. and the highest of elevations kuld see snowfall measured in feet once again. here is our slight risk of flash flooding for the day on saturday. extending northward as ha fire hose oscillates north ward. we have rad caughted so much drought at least for now throughout the state. this is a comparison from 2022 to current conditions. you can see exceptional and
2:08 am
extreme drought conditions have been removed. perhaps a little too much, too quick. that's why we have seen flooding. and another wet atmospheric river coming into play from monday and tuesday of next week. back to you. in fresno, california, emergency teams have carried out several rescues including three elderly women who got stranded in a house. one of them is 104 years old. earlier i spoke with the sheriff about the severe weather and asked them how bad the flooding was there. >> it comes through the city all the way down through the line. and then it heads out west towards the city of western fresno county. >> we're showing pictures of the flooded rivers right now. it's dramatic. i know some people in your area

2:22 am
definition of a workweek to 32 hours. hundred of people last year in the united kingdom participated in a six-month pilot program testing out a four-day schedule with no cut in pay. 3,000 workers from 61 companies agreed to work 80% of their usual workweek while maintaining 100% of their productivity. the results showed major benefits for both companies and workers, including inkrcreases ref knew and decreases in absenteeism. there were reductions in stress, fatigue, burnout and insomnia. for more on this, we're joined by the cofounder ask managing director of four-day week global and joins us live from england. thank you for being here with us. a four-day workweek, most w workers listening to this would say bring it on. so what are the benefits from the worker's point of view? >> obviously, there's a chance to spend more time with your family, more who you are.
2:23 am
>> so you can spend is more time with family. it's better for your well being. the benefits for the employee are pretty obvious, but what about the company? if you were trying to convince a ceo who is concerned about the bottom line, what would you tell them? >> so when we pilot our program, we encouraged people to look at one's productivity in their businesses. work out how to improve that. it's about 80% about improving productivity. so that the business is protected. now in the slightly more challenging times, focusing on productivity seems like a good idea. >> yeah, absolutely. in terms of people's support for a four-day workweek, a poll
2:24 am
found 70% of americans support it. that was taken in 2021. that was the height of the pandemic. what influence do you think the pandemic had had? how has that change d people's attitudes about the way we work? >> i think from a business perspective, employers have worked out that they can work differently. but they have also really understand now they need to take their employees' health more seriously. employees are saying we have the right to have our mental health and our lives taken seriously. when you bring those two things together, they are working in a more partnership way with their people to find solutions. >> the problem is, though, this had terms of the employers at least here in the united states, the tide seems to be going the other way when they are canceling work arrangements and insisting they go back to the
2:25 am
office. they are cutting perks they put in during the pandemic if not outright laying workers off. the idea of the office as a kinder place seems to be fading. >> yes, and obviously, that's a worry for anyone, but this is partnering with our people. they are doing better. because it's not an us and then environment. if you want to grow your business, the people who are going to help you do that are your employees. so actually, creating a partnership between your employees and leadership around how to improve productivity and just makes economic sense. >> many people are still snapback to that old school mentality that you have to log in the hours in order to be productivity. so we talked about that one attempt here in the u.s. to make it a raelt. is there any hope that it might succeed? have you seen success stories
2:26 am
beyond what happened in the pilot program about people implementing it and catching on? >> yes, so we're running a pilot program at the moment we have 86 companies we are in discussions with a number of other reej governments around how they might run pilot programs for their organizations. so in conversations like what the congressmans was doing and a politician in the uk who has done something similar, it's about making sure that you're pushing this conversation at the forefront if the legislation is successful, great. but if it's not, it's pushing the conversation forward. we think working a 40-hour workweek for the last 80 years is starting to pick away at the framework of our society. it's not necessarily making our
2:27 am
business businesses any better. it's not creating a society that we want. >> absolutely. if there could be one positive outcome from the pandemic, maybe it will help people reframe the way we work and make things better for so many people that are work ing out there. we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for here with us. >> my pleasure. thank you. still ahead, norfolk southern faces scrutiny after three derailments in five weeks. we'll have the latest update. also six people are now under arrest this connection with a kidnapped americans in mexico. and a cartel says it's sorry. the latest after the break. stay with us for people who are a little intense about hydration. neutrogena® hydro boost lightweight. clinically proven. 48-hour hydration. fofor that healthy skin glow. neutrogena®. for people with skin. intrtroducing new sweet and savory crepes.

hadn't an historic agreement is changing the politics of ft middle east. saudi arabia and iran are restoring diplomatic ties after a deal brokered by china that comes as the u.s. tries to fa subtle tat a deal. here's how prooid chose to answer a question about the agreement.
2:40 am
>> we are following developments from istanbul. take us through how this came about and what it will mean for both countries and the region. >> the last week we have seen five days of intensive co consultations and talks. mediated by china, by high level delegations from iran and saudi arabia. we have seen efforts in the past by members of the international community, namely iraq, to reck sill silent between the two parties this is the first time we have seen this level of success when it comes to did you wantic relations between two countries. this is going to be on a variety of not only the reopening of their embassies, but they both agree to take steps to reactivate a security cooperation agreement signed in 2001 with a framework for cooperation on areas such as
2:41 am
counterterrorism, drug smuggling and money laundering. they will also be working to cooperate when it comes to trade and technology. this is a significant shift for two countries that have been at odds for the last seven years. the ramifications of this rift have been huge, to say the least, across the region. we have seen mounting tensions in the gulf. we have seen oil facilities in saudi arabia ask even the uae coming under attack by groups and actors backed by iran. and when it comes to yemen, we have seen a deepening of those con conflicts. this comes as they try to prolong peace, which seems to be holding in yemen at the moment. this is a significant shift. we have heard from officials. the foreign minister saying this is not only a big step for the region, but he hopes this will mark the beginning of the regime to strengthen diplomatic relations with its other
2:42 am
neighbors. take a listen to what the national security council also had to say on this. >> at the end of the talks, we rea reached a conclusion to start a new chapter after seven years of breaking off relations between islamic republic of iran and saudi arabia while considering the matters of the two countries in the future of the region to revent meddling for western states and consistent meddling of the regime in the region. >> reporter: we have to consider the international context in which this is talk ing place. iran finding itself increasingly isolated as a result of human rights abuses in iran against protesters. we have seen protesters being detained and killed on mass since is the death in september. and then its nuclear tuft we have seen the response on that front.
2:43 am
iran failing to commit to its international commitment when it comes to the nuclear deal. those efforts to revive the deal have essentially stalled. then we are seeing a shift internationally when it comes to china's involvement in the region. china now appearing to seek to expand its diplomatic and economic ties to the middle east in a sphere that's been under the influence of the u.s. government. so this is a significant shift. u.s. white house spokesperson said the u.s. welcomes all efforts to bring peace and stability in the region. and also saying u.s. government was kept oppressive of all updates over the course of the five days of talks by the saudi government. >> interesting. thank you so much. we appreciate it. iran could be the unintended beneficiary of some western military know how thanks to the war in ukraine. four u.s. officials who spoke with cnn said russia is sending
2:44 am
iran some of the u.s. and nato weapons it seized in ukraine. they include the anti-tank missiles, which you see here, and stinger antiaircraft systems. the officials are concerned iran may reverse engineer those weapons taz did with other military technologies in the past. meanwhile, ukraine is seeing a shift in strategy in the fight for bakhmut. kyiv says russian army troops are starting to replace wagner mercenaries. the reason could be a public feud between wagner's boss and russia's top military brass. russia stepped up its strikes on ukraine's energy system. whether they hut their targets or not depends on ukrainian defenders who try to shoot them down in midair. we spoke with some drone hunters who keech watch on ukraine's skies. >> reporter: every missile taken down means lives saved.
2:45 am
one missile taken down with a machine gun. >> translator: it's a pity that i didn't shoot down three. it's a shame that two got through. they hit civilian targets or critical infrastructure facilities where people work. >> reporter: these are ukrainian drone hunters, and day and night, they scan the skies, eyes in the backs of their heads. their machine gun loaded on to an armored vehicle trading warm for agility. >> translator: the trajectory of the residents are constantly changing, which means stationary units were not enough so we created mobile ones. >> reporter: most nights this is what the skies above ukraine look and sound like.
2:46 am
and more than a year into the war, all that western equipment is helping. on wednesday night over 90 missiles and 8 drones were detected. of those, more than 30 missiles and 4 were intercept issed, says the cukrainian military. here in the front line town, you can see what more than a dwreer of heavy artillery have den. it was the case again on wednesday night. there's not much air defense can do about that. on the whole, what the ukrainian military says is that with western help, its air defense systems have been efficient and from the very start of the invasion. >> translator: hadn't happened we wouldn't be talking to you now and there would be no such country as ukraine. thanks to the air force, we managed to hold it to the sky. >> reporter: this is a rare close-up look at iran's
2:47 am
technology of death. a drone relatively intact for having been fished out of the black sea. at its head, it would have carried 50 kilograms worth of exs employeesives. this is what 20 kilograms looks like. and this is what that looks like on the ground. part of russia's devastating war of attrition with civilian casualties on most nights way beyond the front lines of the east. melissa bell, cnn, kharkiv. the u.s. and european union say they will soon begin talks to resolve lingering trade dispute over electric vehicles. those negotiations were announced following friday's one-on-one meeting between president biden and the european commission president. the dispute center ises on the sourcing of raw materials for electric car batteries like nickel and lithium.
2:48 am
