violent crime down 11%. during the same time frame, the numbers show a 39% reduction in larceny theft, which includes car break-ins and retail theft, and 11% reduction in robberies and a 20% reduction in burglaries. looking at january 2024 verses the three-year average across january 2018 to january 2022, the numbers show property crime is down 40%, and violent crime down 24%. >> all of the work that we are doing with alternatives to policing, with our police department, with the community based organizations, how we are bringing all of that together has led to significant change on the streets of san francisco. >> reporter: the numbers may be a reality. but for some, they are just numbers because that isn't the reality they are experiencing. jeff wu is the owner of el canto cafe. he's happy to be downtown san francisco. >> we just had a break in-n-out

december. >> reporter: with less foot traffic after the pandemic, he only does takeout and delivery orders. right now this moment at least, he doesn't want to bring people back inside. >> you just don't know the people that are coming by anymore. that's one reason why we don't let them in. we've had some crazy people outside, but as long as they are not in here. >> reporter: just this past week. >> it is like everything that is locked up. >> reporter: the team at fillmore and union showed cbs news bay area the steps they are taking to reduce shoplifting at their store. after a recent string of thefts, they now have employees escort customers as they shop. >> it was still locked. >> reporter: long-time employee sam black says they have experienced the worst bout of shoplifting he's seen in more than 20 years working there. >> it has been lawlessness. i've never seen anything like this not even close. >> reporter: both realities can exist at the same time. but making things more complicated,

perception. >> there is a lot of things that went in to help us to get to this place and that momentum is continuing. >> how do we get that across the people though? i still talk to people every day who tell me gosh, are you safe? you live in san francisco, max. how do we get this message across that crime is not as bad as it was? >> well yeah. that will continue to be a very hard one. i think, you know, the press and the conversations that the press has, the negative stuff will seem to get a lot more attention. what doesn't get attention are the exciting and positive stories. >> reporter: the data shows progress for them to reduce crime. >> is it where it needs to be? no. this is a major city. there will always be challenges around crime. but sadly san francisco will continue to be a bit of a punching bag for a lot of folks who don't necessarily live here. >> reporter: for those who aren't experiencing the progress. the numbers will remain numbers until their reality changes. >> reporter: the mayor will give a lot of credit to

increased coordination between state, local, federal law agencies and prosecution efforts from the san francisco district attorney's office, and u.s. attorney's office. hundreds of organizers for palestinians in solidarity will gather outside oakland middle school today. the teacher's union said they reserved a space inside to hold a meeting. but a last-minute move by the district canceled the reservations, citing staffing shortages. organizers decided to meet up any way to send a message. >> they won't even let us in the building after we would have a permit to have this program today. and that is why we're out on the streets. let's get to the truth. they are totally understaffed. so they should just call off school on monday. this is a phony excuse. jews, palestinians, the black community and the latinx all over the country. white activists, they are coming out in supporting palestine. ousd is out of step. >> the organizing meeting was endorsed by dozens of unions, representing all kind of workers throughout the bay

area. we reached out to the district, but we have not heard back. in december, some oakland teachers, organized a teach-in on what's going on in gaza. the teachers said their goal was to give a more balanced lesson, but the district called the material harmful and divisive. it's been a busy weekend for chp's air operations after two helicopter rescues in solano county. crews rescued a paraglider and video shows here crews arriving by helicopter in the hills above the parkway as they would search the grassy area. crews found the paraglider and that person was air lifted to the hospital with major injuries. and in nearby walnut creek, a mountain biker was injured and they had to be air lifted to safety. the video is from chp. crews got to the biker on the ground. but they had to hoist the rider out of the area. chp says the bikers sustained serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

tens of thousands of people celebrated black history month with the black joy parade in oakland. parade goers made their way through the streets of downtown. the annual parade has grown each year becoming a positive destination for the town. john ramos has the story. >> reporter: in 2018, a pair of oakland residents decided black people deserved to have a reason to hit the streets rather than just protest. that's how the black joy parade began. ♪ [ music ] ♪ when the parade began seven years ago, founders elisha greenwell and amber lester had the idea to bring some joy to the often turbulent streets of oakland. they wanted an event that would bring the same positive energy as san francisco's pride parade. >> just started to get together with the community, knocking on doors, trying to see if this is something the community wanted. obviously it was.

>> reporter: now parade director says an initial event of about a thousand people has grown into tens of thousands of people as people will come from all over the bay area to celebrate happiness for its own sake. >> we also want to come together and just show there is joy in being black. we show off and we show our stuff and we just march down the street joyful. >> reporter: here there were no protest sipes, no politics. this one was just for fun. and the grand marshal and the bay area rapper, they explained in the words of the poet how his people's joy can co-exist with their struggle. >> and one thing about us, the sun kissed people, we find joy in some of the most darkest moments that we find the bright spots. we also learn how to not so much grieve in our pain to the agony of most, but we will dance in a way and laugh in a way and sing in a way. to be able to have forms of entertainment and excitement without ignoring pain is a beautiful thing. so the joy in this is we are here for the

purpose of joy and no greater feeling. >> reporter: more than 130 groups joined the procession down franklin street. each expressing their joy in a different way. for armani white, it comes when he puts on a pair of roller skates. >> black joy is life. and if i'm able to do both, why not? and black joy, i love it. >> reporter: they drove in from antioch and says she finds joy in family. >> and that we will all get them all taking a day, a time to just celebrate kindness, happiness, being together, and loving on each other all day. >> and they don't have to define black joy. she is black joy. >> that means everything. this is us. everybody is your mama down here today. that's how they do it. yeah! >> reporter: there are plenty

of serious issues that the black community in oakland must face every day. in the words of mr. fab, no greater feeling. >> the event will feature the black joy celebration with food boosts, two music stages, and more than 200 local vendors, offering handmade arts and crafts and cultural services. still ahead here at 6:00, why the garden has been serving thousands for more than a decade and flourishing more than ever. plus this group of bay area students may be too young to vote. how they are showing it is never too early though to start thinking about politics. >> and from the mark hopkins hotel. some clouds are starting to roll in. we'll see a chance of showers out of the clouds tomorrow. but no heavy rain in stored yet. details on what's in stored for the rest of the week. as we head into early march in the first alert

a southern california community garden has been serving thousands for more than a decade. theythousands for morn a decade. they share why the community garden is flourishing more than ever. >> reporter: the community garden. >> the address is 1317 south boulevard. >> reporter: more fruit than what we see. and more than deeply rooted l.a. soils.

>> everything here will have a purpose. >> reporter: they will give life to the community. >> we have 63 garden beds here and we grow enough food eve week to fill the grocery store. >> reporter: stemming from the passion. created the compton community garden back in 2013. >> and the reason why we started this is because this area here, it is a severe food desert. also because this area here has the highest obesity rate in the state. >> reporter: this garden will continue to blossom, making it hard to believe just months ago, it was in jeopardy of being destroyed. the land sold. >> but we would raise $500,000 in 12 days. in a community where fresh produce is desperately needed. >> yes, they are active. we have probably about 30,000 bees in there. >> reporter: bees that are

natural helpers here and they make good honey. >> my mission is to change the narrative of what we call the minority community. >> reporter: those who will tend to the garden, a beautiful reflection of the community they serve. >> they are beginning to see that. our food is our life. >> reporter: the space represents freedom. >> it will change your entire palette. just your knowledge of this whole entire food system. >> reporter: they agree. >> this space represents the culture and it fills that gap. and i feel like this addresses that need. >> reporter: the only one will stand as a reminder of what is cultivated when they come together to serve another. >> to see the fruit that will come from that. >> because of the seeds they plant today. >> reporter: this video will

never get old. they sent it in. the so-called fire fall at the park that will happen during february. and i am guessing the sun won't be hitting at any angle for parts of next week. >> it will be an up and down weather pattern through the last days of february. it won't be a washout. take a look at what we need to know and increasing clouds overhead tonight. some spotty showers tomorrow. lower than the 50-50 chance at any point in time. and that is just in case. a lot of sunshine in stored for us. the wet chilly portion into the second half of next week as

well. we'll talk more about that momentarily. there is the increasing cloud cover and a chance of a sprinkle. but looks like the best chance for showers will develop by mid to late morning. and even then, not a whole lot happening. that's pretty much the extent of it and that activity will quiet down quickly. again, grab the umbrella to be on the safe side. i don't think that it will be a high impact rain event. most will miss us. now looking to the west, the beautiful post sunset skies, a couple of weeks ago. this is what they will look like around 7:30 in the evening. ready for that. and this is a pleasant day, just one spot left. clean to 61 degrees. and we will drop down in the mid to upper 40s by early tomorrow morning, in between the few showers tomorrow, we will warm up. just

not as warm as we were today or yesterday. temperatures on the warm end of the spectrum is 64 degrees. mostly low 60s. the east bay, low 60s there or around the bay, also the low 60s. 68 degrees at half moon bay and 58 degrees in san francisco, but they should hit 60 degrees in oakland. reaching into the low 60s by monday afternoon. and tomorrow will not amount to a whole lot. more substantial rain chances. tomorrow, if you get a trace, that will be an achievement. light to moderate rain showers, late in the day on thursday. and more rain will fall on saturday with some lingering showers still possible on sunday. you can't take them to the bank just yet. it will be

confident in these exact forecast. both in terms of where the heaviest will line up. this will be a major winter storm. tomorrow is not going to add up to too much at all. and we were talking about feet of snow adding up for the first weekend in march. travel will be strongly discouraged. and i would start rethinking those plans. it will be impossible to travel through the sierra through the first weekend of march. and pretty close to normal in stored. and worse on wednesday. the wet weather will return on saturday. talking about the low 50s for most of the bay area and even that might be optimistic. and we will see them dropping down to around 2,500 feet. the frosting of snow on some of the mountain tops. >> all right, straight ahead in sports, we will go back in time with a

couple of all-time sports history, heavyweights. a senior moment if you will in palo alto at the home women' the nation, stanford.

disblfnlgt all right, the warriors, they are running at chase center with the defending champions, the mighty nuggets. the statement game, well, we will see because we've got the moving pictures and the post game that's coming up on game day tonight after the 11. in and out lakers, on the road at the suns. against lebron james and they are up by seven and they opened the door on this turnover. look at themselves chasing it down and finish. the pure hustle for king james. cutting their lead

to 86-81. they would score 28. later on, from the corner, excuse me. he would hit that three and they were up to nine. they led them with 24 and the suns, they won the game 123-113. their loss means the warriors, they could move ahead to the lakers in the western conference playoff race if they win tonight. now what was happening with lillard in the eastern conference? milwaukee bucks at philadelphia. we've got the final seconds of the first half. 76ers would score. but look at them. the full court path to brook lopez. before the buzzer. they were up 21 at the half. the third quarter, lillard. and he will be coming up. out of oakland. now give me that pass. they jammed it, fouled. he scored 30 points today. getting love on senior day.

22 points, 20 rebounds. 81-67. they earned at least a share of the title for the 27th time. e we've got baseball. giants at the rangers where they would play through the scoreless tie this afternoon in arizona. and they struck out four in a couple of innings. in the meantime, we've got the a's who paid a visit to the dodgers, the bottom of the second. they served up the alum. they swung on. and the final of 4-2. and the olympic

games, from tommy smith. and they finished in the 200-meter race. then everything in the sports landscape shook. and for carlos, his experience as the spartan with the professor would shape him. >> i'm here and i went to san jose state as a result. we have been buddies before. during that time and all time, we will always be bonded together. >> they are the leading proponents of leveraging sports, the tremendous platform and stage to generate the human rights in society. but if you go back and look, that is an old paradigm. it has been

around for generations before then with each athlete, linking it up to the movement. >> it seems like all the time you are being honored and praised, being recognized. how were you affected every time you were showered with the love and appreciation? >> and you would talk about how many people would come to wrap their arm around us and be with us. i would sit back and remember the other times when we were coming out to mexico city. and they were running like the insects, trying to get away. not because they did not have the respect, love, admiration for us. but because they were afraid of reprisal for being associated with us. and they did not do nothing, but fortify them that much more to let them know that yeah, we

will come at you now. and what i will call this. so what is happening now? it is all the positive circle, man. we are just sitting back. we are working on them more and ever before. >> i sat with them for the champions event. we will have more on that tonight as they are titans of the civil rights activism. this happened in 1968. here it is. it is still resonating. thank you so much. welcoming up in our next half hour, facing tough questions from the teams, the first of its kind congressional form led by the bay area next generation. and plus the plans to remove the carbon from the atmosphere. how it works and how much it could actually help in the fight against climate change. an inspiring story of a

now at 6:30, we are inching closer to the california primary. one group of bay area high school students is showing it is never too early to start thinking about politics. welcome back. the march 5 pry primary election is right around the corner. they seem to be out of touch with the political process. they reveal that 58% of people between the

ages of 13 and 44 are unsure if they will even vote come november. but the group of palo alto high school students are on a mission to change that. jose martinez shows us how. >> reporter: it is a historic moment for the high school student. >> and that is the house in los altos that is exactly that and the first ever candidates forum for the primary election hosted by high school students in american history. >> reporter: it watts 16-year-old's idea to host a candidate competing for their 16 congressional district seat. >> well, we originally thought of doing a primary forum between the incumbent congresswoman anna eshoo and whoever was challenging her. we saw a new political landscape was being built in this area. and so we decided to jump in. >> reporter: he did it with his association member travis

hodges who moderated today's forum. >> the voters would have the right to know who they were voting for and who their options were. we decided even though we were in high school that we would step in and fill that gap. they felt like they could get involved. and they could still get involved. >> reporter: especially because he tells me this is going to help him achieve his dream one day. >> my dream is to run for congress one day and hopefully i'll be in one of those forums. >> 45 seconds to answer the following question. >> reporter: it is a good opportunity to practice, which they were able to ask questions related to housing and education for malik who will want to become a lawyer. >> i'm a fan of policy, academia and researching to make sure the policies we implement are able to impact our communities effectively. >> the south bay seat held by congresswoman anna eshoo for more than three decades is up for grabs in the primary

election. eshoo first elected in 1992 in the year of the woman. that was the same year they were elected. eshoo is retiring and now there are 11 candidates vying for the position. the largest group of voters say they are still undecided. for the first time in three decades, people in district 16 will elect a new representative. in congress and in one san jose business owners tell us he's concerned about safety on the streets. he's been struggling to bring back business to his restaurant after the pandemic. >> congress, they seem somewhat dysfunctional as far as being able to address things either as a compromise or as getting things done that will affect our life here at the small business level. >> here is a closer look. the recent poll sponsored by san jose spotlight found the mayor, sam liccardo leading with 16%.

and former saratoga council member kaw mar and assembly member evan lowe tied for third place at 7% each. here are some key dates for the primary. the last day to register has passed, but you can conditionally register and vote with the provisional ballot up to and on election day march 5. and april 4 is the deadline for each county to certify the results. republican nikki haley is vowing to remain in the gop primary race even after defeat in her home state of south carolina to donald trump. the former president gave his victory speech after being declared the projected winner. haley came in about 20 points behind trump. but the victory is being overshadowed by racially charged comments made by trump this week. >> the mug shot we've all seen the mugshot. you know who embraced it? the black population. >> nearly every day trump drives people away.

underground like at this facility to no longer warm the planet. over time humans have pumped about two billion tons in the air. scientists say we need to remove five to ten billion tons per year by 2050 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. their pilot plant will remove about 1,000 tons per year. >> and it is very small compared to the scale? >> 100%. you need to build the plants that are a thousand times larger than this. we need to build a thousand of those. >> reporter: as we transition to cleaner forms of technology, they need to offset the emissions from the airplanes, cargo ships. for now they still require the fossil fuels. but the critics worry carbon capture is being co-oped by oil and gas companies. >> as the management leader, we can get it done. >> 90% of those in storage out there on the markets are run by

the fossil fuel industry. >> reporter: they will oppose fossil fuel. capturing them at some power plants. that is prolonging the use of fossil fuels, as they ject the carbon back into the ground to push out more oil. >> they have looked for excuse after excuse on how to keep the music playing. >> reporter: they will not rule out taking fossil fuel money. they believe it is an essential part to the climate. >> it is not nice to have anymore. this is a must have. >> a spokesperson says the company is not affiliated with the industry and they say their focus is on cleaning up the damage as we have done to the environment. plus a bay area teen is keeping her late father's boxing gym open. how she is

children have food allergies. accidental exposures to deadly foods can be terrifying. >> so it really does impact quality of life. not just in what you're preparing and eating yourself, but not having the ability to control foods in your environments, and we do see a lot of accidental exposures that lead to allergic reactions. >> reporter: now stanford and bay area patients have shown how an injectable drug already approved to treat chronic asthma can reduce the risk. all the patients are severely allergic to peanuts and at least two other foods. >> we would give them the foods they're allergic to in that fashion until they can show an allergic reaction. about 67% of those who received injections

were protected up to that much of the allergen after four months. >> reporter: dr. cinder explains the injection. meant to reduce severe allergic reaction. it's not a cure. >> and cases like this where they have accidental exposures or they are terrified of the person sitting next to them on the plane, they are protected against those accidental exposures and having severe reactions. >> the drug is called zoler. the fda has approved the drug for this use. at stanford, researchers tested patients and tay said it did not cause any side effects other than inens stays of minor reactions at the site of the injection. one business owner has decided to fight back. using hundreds of rubber ducks to brighten up the community. the long-time barber hatched the

plan when faced with unsightly graffiti next to his beloved shop. the colorful collection is attached to a boarded up business next door. tourists and influencers would flock to it and they would approve the display. >> i loved this. it quacked me up. >> is it legal? >> it is legal. as long as there are rubber ducks and they are not blocking the path of travel, which they're not. they're affixed to the building. people don't have to walk out in the middle of the street. it's fine what they did. >> this is just me messing around and having fun and turned out to be something great. >> who doesn't love a rubber duck? >> the display is not only attracting a lot of smiles. but the owner says it is also giving his business a bit of boost from lucky loo's. a live look outside and a beautiful sunday night after a great weekend. we'll head over with the latest on the upcoming forecast.

>> a chance of showers tomorrow, but at least we got to enjoy the dry, warm weather that just happened to overlap with a weekend. we like it when things work out that way. let's see if we could keep it going. it will finally pick up as we move. the storm system is mostly going to be missing us to the south, sending most of the energy and moisture into southern california. we're going to have a chance for a couple of showers. but just a few blips in the radar as we would head through the day on monday. few and far in between. i would take the umbrella with you just in case, but odds are you won't have to open it up. but a little bit of sunshine glimmering through late afternoon and early evening. then clearing skies as we would head through tomorrow night with plenty of sunshine over head by tuesday and wednesday with pretty close to normal temperatures. in the sierra, this will be a light snow maker. couple inches of snow. most locations, but enough for winter weather advisory, some slippery travel conditions on u.s. 50 and i-80. much more

substantial snow maker will be heading for the sierra late this week. we will talk more about that in just a moment. but they will bare the bunt of the next system adding up several feet of snow beginning thursday, especially friday into saturday. we'll get to that. a look towards downtown san francisco. looking good out there this evening. temperatures mostly in the mid to upper 50s, still clinging to the low 60s, but that's not going to last too long now that the sun has been down for about 45 minutes or so. we'll see the temperatures drop down by early tomorrow morning, rolling in. temperatures tomorrow in between the few showers will approach what's normal. so no more above average temperatures like we enjoyed this weekend. but still that is not bad at all where they will tap out and 62 at fremont. half moon bay will be one of the cool spots.

only in the upper 50s, but that's not that far below normal about 3 degrees or so. temperatures in the north bay around or just above 60 degrees in most locations. the rain chances will increase later this week. let's take a look at our rain chart. tomorrow's rain chance isn't all that impressive. lower than 50-50. beginning thursday, then especially friday and saturday, that will be associated with the big winter weather event in the high sierra. talking about a couple inches across the bay area and falling over a long enough period of time that i'm optimistic that we will be able to avoid any flooding concerns. farther down the line, the 8 to 14-day outlook shows a return to near average rain chances as we would head deeper into the month of march. let's check out your seven-day forecast as we do have a chance for showers tomorrow. a couple dry days on tuesday and wednesday looking nice. wednesday, the slightly warmer day with highs reaching the middle portions of the 60s. then the rain chances will

arrive. the significant shot of cooler air and the rain moving in on thursday, continuing friday, and continuing into saturday. high temperatures on saturday only in the low 50s and the snow levels will drop down to around 2,500 feet, which means most of the bay area's mountain tops are going to see at least a little bit of snow accumulating something else that we'll be watching through the next several days. >> all right, thanks, paul. up next, how one bay area teenager found a new purpose in keeping their boxing gym open and training the next fighter. remember, you can watch us any time anywhere. catch all the live newscast plus news, weather updates throughout the day. you can find us on the free news app or on pluto tv. we'll - [narrator] at kpix, we're taking weather to the next level. - we can show not just what's happening at ground level, but we can show what's happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere. let's lift the clouds off of ground level and talk... - it really spotlights how unique the geography is here.

keep her father's legacy alive. and well. this is just a few words to describe them. the owner of the bulling pro boxing club in california, she lost her father exactly three years ago. it was a loss that shook her to her core. >> i didn't know how to feel, so i just got to the point like, you know, i was down and depressed for a couple months and i went to a bad month after i passed away. >> it is one of the worst hits. she was left fatherless and they led to an attempt to take her own life. thankfully the attempt failed, but her mother worried for her family, felt it was time to close her father's

boxing gym and move forward. that is when everything changed. she may have lost her father physically, but she knew she had to keep them spiritually. >> i said no, i don't want them to close and this is his legacy too. >> so she became perhaps the youngest boxing boss there ever was. school during the day and training with fighters thereafter. denise's father maintained a club full of passionate boxers. empowering and training each one no matter the size. she is dedicated to them and sees them as family. >> i call them my sister like we are just, that's the love that we would have in this gym. >> reporter: it's the kind of love that the father will extend to each of their fighters. pushing them with perseverance. keeping them away from nearby gang violence. >> every day i'm here, i'm proud that they would learn something new because that will make me think that oh, i'm doing it right. and i know that

i'm doing what my father taught me to do. >> reporter: her father has worked with boxing legends. and denise says she would like to train up the next champion to come out of santa rosa. >> it is enough motivation for me. and every time i hear her, i hear her dad every single time and so, you know. she knows how to push everybody in here. she's the best at it. >> reporter: as for her own boxing ambitions, she would love to fight professionally one day for her priority much like her father is to elevate the skills of her fighters. >> and we're family. so they will gdo all the work at the gym and said. >> well first i would cry and i know that for sure. he would

say he's proud of me and i've always wanted to hear that from them and that he loves me. >> reporter: the kind of love that's worth fighting for. >> thanks to her efforts. the gym is going strong and it is accepting new fighters. well, we will continue to keep a close eye on the corpse flower at the academy of sciences that's expected to bloom over the next few days, releasing its smell, which many compare to a corpse. hence the name. when it blooms, it can reach up to 10 feet tall. >> have you ever smelled it? >> i have not. i don't have a desire to. >> and that is like some of those things. why would i do that. it is awful. >> it would be punishment, right? >> yes. >> i will avoid the thing that smells like rotting flesh. >> there you go. sounds like a

great idea. thank you so much for watching. 60 minutes is next. we will see you back here at 11: tonight.
