11:00 pm
from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. the president made it clear we're not looking for a war with iran. >> now at 11:00, as israel mulls its options, iranians in the bay area are holding their breath after the saturday night attacks in the middle east. >> every time something like this happens we all feel a
11:01 pm
collective sense of dread and fear. also sideshows creating chaos in oakland leading to a sudden show of force from police. and will the rain, rain finally go away? we'll have the latest look at the week ahead. first as we wait to see how the world responds to iran's ballistic and drone attacks. president biden said the u.s. will not take part in any retaliatory strikes. >> what i think israel should do is pause for the moment, consult with its close allies and partners, assess the damage and the activity and then decide what is the most appropriate response? >> in the coming days and in consultation with other member states, the united states will explore additional measures to hold iran accountable here at the united nations. >> while iran plainly said they do not plan any further attacks, israel hasn't said anything about how it plans to respond. debora patta begins our coverage from tel aviv.
11:02 pm
>> reporter: iran's first ever direct attack on israel dragging their shadow war into the open. israel's powerful air defense systems intercepted more than 300 iranian drones and missiles. hard line iranian supporters celebrated the strikes as the regime boasted their operation true promise had exceeded expectations. israel's war cabinet favors retaliation, but is divided on timing. a former senior israeli diplomat to the u.s. told us the stakes are high for prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> if the u.s. puts its weight on him not to retaliate, he will be basically paralyzed and incapable of reacting. he could go ahead and do this, but the risk would be extraordinarily high. >> reporter: pinker said netanyahu has wanted to
11:03 pm
escalate the conflict with iran since november to detract from his political problems at home, including growing anger over his mishandling of the war in gaza. for palestinians trapped in that war, there is no distraction from the misery. tired of living in tents, thousands defied israeli orders not to return to the northern part of gaza. we're dead either way this person said and i'd rather die in my home, but some never made the perilous journey home. more than 20 injured were rushed to hospital after israeli soldiers opened fire killing at least one woman. everyone else was forced to turn around with the menacing sound of fighter jets overhead terrorizing young children already traumatized by more than half a year of war. >> there was only minimal
11:04 pm
damage to an israeli military base from the missile attack last night. the israeli defense force released video of workers repairing some of that damage caused by the airstrikes. while all this plays out iranians in the bay area are worried about the safety of their loved ones back home. co-anchor andrea nakano has that story. >> it's not the first time kareem has seen these images from the middle east and she knows it won't be the last. >> every time something like this happens we all feel a collective sense of dread and fear. >> kareem is director of center of iranian studies at san francisco state university. it's been difficult for her to not think about the unrest and her family members living in iran. >> the bottom line is there's a day after these
11:05 pm
confrontations and the real suffering doesn't happen to the policymakers, the governments, or the individuals who are spewing this very vile rhetoric. what happens is the consequences are felt by everyday citizens. >> and it's a region where everyday residents have been dealing with conflict for decades. hamid azemi with the iranian american community of northern california feels nothing is going to change until there is true democracy in iran. >> the real problem is that the root cause of these unrest in the middle east is the iranian regime which has been what they call the export of revolution, which is really export of terrorism. >> iranian americans say they need the united states' help for change to happen but not in the way some suspect. they want action through diplomacy, not weapons. >> the u.s. needs to side with the people of iran and
11:06 pm
recognize their right that they have to confront the irdc inside iran on their own and it's the political tool that the u.s. has in providing that support. >> and if peace is to be achieved, kareem says it's vital for the u.s. to set an example and be consistent with the way it observes international and humanitarian law. >> i think if you keep supplying arms to a country like israel without holding them accountable for the way it's impacting the civilians of gaza, you can't expect people to understand that you're interested in peace. >> for the people living in the region and those with relatives there, they can only hope peace will prevail instead of the use of force. a new poll out shows only 33% of people approve of biden's policies in israel and
11:07 pm
60% think that he could be doing more to bring the october 7th hostages home. same polls show biden's current approval rating is 40%, slightly higher for people age 18 to 29, but it is still ten points lower than february. news back in the bay area, an apartment fire on black hill road in fremont left one family without a home. fire crews say neighbors fought the blaze with extinguishers until firefighters got there. the family wasn't home at the time and nobody was hurt. in san jose a fire broke out inside a garage at a home on williamsburg avenue. crews here are shown working to put out the blaze. the fire was limited to the garage. it did not cause damage to the residential unit. in oakland last night a scene of sideshow chaos, gunshots and car fires. residents say what was different was that this time it ended with a big response from
11:08 pm
the police. da lin has that story. >> reporter: from west oakland to east oakland, sideshow participants took over at least six major intersections early sunday morning. police say people spun donuts, fired shots into the air, and even set a couple cars on fire. some of the participants mocked parents with this sign that reads "drive like your kids live here." but the real fireworks happened at the intersection of high street and foothill boulevard around 4:30 a.m. as drivers were burning rubber and laughing at the cops. dozens and dozens of officers were coordinating and blocking off all the escape routes. it all unfolded in front of neighbor debbie wilson's house. >> applaud them. applaud them. they need to arrest them and keep them in there. >> reporter: the 65-year-old says the monthly sideshows near her house hurt her health. she recently had a stroke. >> i take seizure medication. i've been having strokes and
11:09 pm
seizures. so this kind of chaos i don't need around me. it terrorizes me and it scares me. >> reporter: neighbors say it's dangerous for everyone. >> they crash sometimes really close to our house like, for example, the neighbor's house right there, they crashed into the gate, made like a big dent in it and i'm worried. what if they crash into my house? >> reporter: as police start ticketing spectators and drivers, some drivers found a narrow pathway out. officers quickly blocked the route. a short time later one driver drove a white infiniti into two police cars to leave the area. he wasn't done. that driver returned to challenge the officers. one officer appeared to fire some kind of nonlethal projectile to scare the driver away. other participants tried to leave but didn't get very far. officers arrested several drivers and cited a lot of
11:10 pm
spectators. they also impounded a number of cars. >> make them pay. we're paying. we're suffering. make them pay. >> what impressed me is they not only came, they cited those in the middle of the sideshows and they arrested other people. >> reporter: councilman noel gallo says typically the cops just disperse the crowds and let them go. neighbors ask why can't the cops do this every time? >> the response i get well, we don't have enough officers. well, we don't have, you know, enough money in overtime to pay for officers to be here. >> reporter: police say it can be very dangerous, especially when they're outnumbered by the large crowds. aside from hitting police cars, some of the participants set two cars on fire, likely stolen. as for debbie, she says shut them down for her health and the health of the city. >> i'm from the old school and from the south. they want to shoot and fight somebody and want to drive crazy, send them to the army. give them an ultimatum. >> reporter: a lot of
11:11 pm
neighbors did not want to go on camera worrying about retaliation, but they say miss debbie wilson spoke their mind. they added one more thing saying the cops cannot arrest their way out of the problem. they say the parents have to do a better job and get more involved with these young people. still ahead here on this sunday night, governor newsom trying to get more money to clean up after a long series of storms over the winter, where the money's headed after the break. and we'll see if there's yet more rain in the forecast, find out in a minute. business. it's not a nine-to-five proposition. it's all day and into the night. it's all the things that keep this world turning. the go-tos that keep us going. the places we cheer.

11:14 pm
from this winter's storm. the latest of which moved in over the weekend and then moved out. before it did it left 1 to 1 1/2 inches of rain in much of the bay area. tonight temperatures are getting cooler, low 50s. we'll have things warming up by tuesday and wednesday. it does look like we'll be dry a while. low pressure is now heading out of the state to be replaced by a high, doesn't mean we're totally in the clear. here's tomorrow. see a shield of high clouds coming in, but by tuesday we go to mostly clear skies and the rain in santa rosa almost 0.6, san rafael the same, concord 1/3 of an inch, three-day rain totals. in other parts of the bay, livermore had almost half an inch of rain and cupertino about 2/3 of an inch. that's it for a while, in fact, all the way into next weekend. we'll finally see things beginning to dry out and warm up as high pressure builds in increasing sunshine, warmer tomorrow and
11:15 pm
then we'll peak during the midweek when numbers reach almost 80 degrees in some of the warmer spots inland. it will be a very pleasant week ahead. wednesday we get a few more clouds in terms of rain probabilities, pretty much gone. so showers end, clearing and cool overnight, increasing sunshine tomorrow, a few low clouds along the shoreline, low 80s inland by wednesday and thursday and it looks dry next weekend, which is bucking a trend we've had lately. overnight lows tonight with clearing skies mid-40s and daytime highs tomorrow skyrocket at least getting us closer to seasonal averages with 66 at sunnyvale, still cooler than usually, 68 santa clara, pittsburg tomorrow 69, dublin 66. might get a few clouds along the marin county shoreline, otherwise a mostly clear day including cloverdale, ukiah and lakeport where it
11:16 pm
will be near 70 degrees. extended forecast looks pretty much the same for all sections of the bay area, sunny a couple days, more clouds on wednesday but no rain and then it will cool down a bit toward the end of the week, but it will be sunny. that's true for san francisco and oakland and the rest of the bay. the north bay will warm to the mid-70s by wednesday, san jose near 80 degrees by wednesday. for the inland east bay the numbers will be mostly in the 70s this week, a little cooler by the time we get to the weekend, but a very pleasant week ahead and dry. millions of people traveling thousands of miles to see last week's eclipse, including me. after the break i'll show you what happens when you wait till the last minute to make a plan. what's up with the warriors right now? >> we want to beat the crap out of them. adios tara vanderveer, the secret sauce for college

11:20 pm
sure they got a good view only to get launched out by the weather. i was one of them, but i did not get messed up with the weather. to be sure about getting good weather, i did have to go all the way to maine. >> reporter: well, here's how i did it, waited till the last minute to make sure as i could the skies would be clear and since god had painted clouds over much of the path to totality, i had to hit the road to l.a.x., go to newark, new jersey, and head to portland, maine, driving in dark to augusta and put up as close to the eclipse as i could find a room and the next morning i knew i wasn't in the bay area anymore, not because of the snow, because of the price of a gallon of gas. still i recognized the food of my people. >> have a great day. >> reporter: thank you. are you going to be able to watch the
11:21 pm
eclipse? >> i am. >> reporter: fantastic. this older gentleman nearby didn't have a pair of eclipse glasses. i did. >> thank you, sir. >> reporter: you're very welcome. >> you want me to pay you for them? >> reporter: no, no. they're all for you. >> thank you, sir. >> reporter: from augusta we head north, at waterville head west on a two-lane highway and destination 90 miles to the west on a two-lane road, little town called jackman and it was clearly the biggest thing ever to happen in the town of 300. did you do that? >> i wish i was this talented, no. it's a local lady. >> reporter: there were probably 8,000 people crowding into town and, of course, there was food. >> a cheeseburger and hotdog. >> i'm from maine. this is the best. >> reporter: but the big excitement was for the approaching eclipse and people waited and waited and waited. when it happened, this is video i shot last monday in jackman, maine, but it's nothing compared to actually being
11:22 pm
there. this is my third total solar eclipse. it will probably be my last. make sure that in your life you see at least one. that's the moral of that story. after the break, how an american is using ancient techniques to help rebuild the notre dame cathedral when we come back. at this elementary school in waltham, massachusetts, there is a child with a developmental delay who made a friend on the playground and their relationship is the talk of the school. >> i think every connection that i make at this school is special. this one in particular will live in my heart forever. >> the heart warmin

welcome back. tomorrow marks five years since the world watched in shock as notre dame cathedral, one of the most recognizable pieces of architecture in human history, was heavily damaged by fire. since then there's been an extraordinary effort underway to save and restore the centuries old landmark including some from american craftsmen. >> reporter: last year hank silver was running a small carpentry business in massachusetts. through a contact in france, he was offered a rare chance to join a team in normandy preparing
11:26 pm
timber to rebuild the nave of notre dame. >> i could not say no to that opportunity that happens once in a lifetime wouldn't even be the right term. it's once in a millennium really. >> reporter: the monumental task of restoring notre dame after the 2019 fire called for artisan building methods. >> we used axes to create the rippled finish you were able to see in the original cathedral in the 13th century framing. >> reporter: there were unexpected challenges. >> the architects asked us to reproduce all of the deformations that had accrued over 800 years. so the ridge is not a straight line and so we had to follow this curvature. >> reporter: then he came to paris to set the timber trusses in place. >> many carpenters came from united states, from england,
11:27 pm
from denmark, from spain because they were fond of these techniques, fond of oak. they come to work on notre dame and it's a very fantastic spirit. >> reporter: there's still a lot of work left to be done to restore notre dame to its former glory, but everyone here is confident it will be ready for the planned reopening in december. four months ago the spire rose again into the paris skyline topped with a recreation of the original gold cross and rooster. the rooster holds several holy relics, but also . >> they created a second chamber and it's got a scroll with the names of everybody who worked on the cathedral. isn't that cool? >> reporter: it's in there? >> isn't that cool? it's right up there protecting the city. >> reporter: with his work on the restoration almost done, silver says he'd like to stay in france. he took advantage of a site visit by the french

president to plead his case. >> i did hand emmanuel macron a letter requesting french citizenship. he has not been texting me every day much to my disappointment. >> reporter: he's looking forward to seeing notre dame reopen the end of this year. coming up next, we'll introduce you to a young lady breaking barriers
