Good morning, Oakland.

Scientists from the Marine Mammal Center and California Academy of Sciences are investigating the cause and tracking rising whale sightings in the Bay.

Alameda County's new district attorney Ursula Jones Dickson is pulling back plans to change death row sentences that came after a review showed racial bias in jury selection.
