coast. and there it is. it'll get here later today and sweep through with some rain. very cool highs though only in the low to mid 50s. all right. so here. all quiet or what. yeah it's pretty quiet out there as a matter of fact we don't have a lot going on. >> and if it does start raining you know, the traffic will take a turn for the worse. but right now we look pretty good. if you are driving at the bay bridge, it looks pretty good getting into san francisco. no problems here on interstate 880 in oakland and we're looking good on the san mateo bridge and also on the dumbarton bridge. so things are doing well. and that includes the silicon valley commute, which is nice 401 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal a cyclist is recovering after being involved in a collision with a waymo driverless taxi. now it happened at 17th and mississippi. the intersection there at potrero hill yesterday afternoon the mountain view based company said one of its driverless vehicles was stopped at a four way crossing when a large truck drove across the intersection as the waymo car

followed through the intersection. a non visible cyclist behind the truck appeared in its path and was hit by the driverless car. san francisco police tell us the cyclist suffered non-life threatening injuries in that collision. >> our time now 401 crews, a self-driving company, is trying to find a way to wrap up an investigation of a crash in san francisco, where one of its cars hit a pedestrian. the company offered to pay a bigger fine to the california public utilities commission. now, during yesterday's hearing, executives for cruz also said they regret the effort to cover up that crash to regulators. back in october, general motors, which owns cruz, has replaced many of the company's leaders and has indefinitely put testing of the autonomous cars on pause. >> the preliminary report from the national transportation safety board has been released regarding the failed door on an alaska airlines jet. now it shows all four bolts that are supposed to hold the door plug in place. were missing. it's not

clear why that was not caught in the manufacturing and inspection process. >> the fact that they have these different reporting structures and sign off requirements, etc. and that they just weren't done it, you know, is doubly shocking. it's not that they didn't know what they should do. they knew exactly what they should do, and they just didn't do it. >> nearly all max nine jets operated by united and alaska airlines have been inspected and returned to the flight lines. the investigation continues, so we do not know yet if the subcontractor that built the door plug or boeing, which installed it, is to blame. boeing says it continues to cooperate with the investigation . >> time now 403 pga investigating a fire in san francisco inside of an underground utility vault. it happened at third and mission streets and sky fox flew over the area where black smoke poured out of a maintenance hole . this area was blocked off for hours as repair crews fixed the problem. we arrived on scene

front office sports today podcast, where she shocked mlb fans with her comments about the team's possible move to sin city. >> i personally think they've got to figure out a way to stay in oakland and make their dream come true, mayor goodman commented on the passion of oakland sports fans who still come to vegas for raiders games. >> she said john fisher, the a's owner, needs to listen to the people in oakland. >> i love the people from oakland. i think they deserve to have their team. >> goodman made those remarks after mentioning that the a's had turned down a larger stadium location in downtown las vegas before deciding on the old tropicana hotel. >> people who actually live in las vegas don't really go to the strip. if they want to come here. this isn't an ideal location for actual people who live in the city. this is ideal location for tourists. >> during the interview, mayor goodman expressed concern about the team moving to the strip to come here and take down an old hotel and put it right at the heart of the strip and more congestion. >> we have enough congestion right now, so this does not make

sense as for a's fans, they say the fight isn't over. >> some people are more unhappy about it than we realize. >> it very well could be oakland and it is possible after even though they're talking about that small little site, it's not done till it's done. mayor goodman clarified hours after the podcast was released that she is very excited about the prospect of major league baseball in vegas, and she would welcome the a's to her city. >> she also said, in a perfect world, the a's would have a ballpark on the water in oakland. >> vegas deserves a ball team, but an expansion team, and mayor shang tao says she agrees with mayor goodman 100. >> she says it's best that the a's stay in oakland. she says their door is also open to john fisher and anyone else who might like to purchase the team to keep them here in oakland. crystal bailey, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, crystal, thank you. time now 406 later today. officials at the port of oakland will bring together stakeholders

see it churning there. it's taking the turn into arizona. but finally, a little bit of a break. they'll still get some rain, but not nothing compared to what they had after the last three days, 30s and 40s. on the temps, much cooler. some 50s, but a lot more 30s, 25 truckee 18, south lake tahoe mammoths down to four. but if you're going to the mountains, you might want to go early or wait it out. winter weather advisory is out. 4 to 8in of snow forecast starts already and goes through 4 a.m. tomorrow, so more snow and then a weak little system on friday. but that shouldn't amount to too much in the mountains. then you can go up there and board and ski on some and shred on the nice new snow. that's our system sweeping down. looks like it'll be all right here. some locations showing upwards of two thirds of an inch to an inch. santa cruz mountains. so we'll go with that for now. and after that, though, we start to get a break here. i mean, it does look like a break at least. i mean, we'll get cloud cover, but there's no big systems on the way. but for the mountains, yes, they'll get more snow, but temperatures today are going to be quite cool for us.

really just low to mid 50s. you guys all right. >> thank you steve pga could, uh, be increasing our bills once again the rate increase california public utilities commission is now considering. >> and we're just four days away now from the super bowl. you'll be hearing from some of the 49ers players on how they're approaching this big moment every parent knows when it's time to go into protect mode. adding lysol laundry sanitizer kills 99.9% of illness-causing bacteria detergents leave behind. clean is good. sanitized is better. this ad? typical. politicians...

member. >> the irma anderson was an very, very important part of richmond history. she contributed so much and there are so many workers here who are here because of her, and the city is so much better because of the work that she did. >> irma anderson died last month at the age of 93. >> super bowl spirit and the sphere. we want to show you a video. the 49ers in chiefs helmets. look at this. wow. it's the sphere. they're just changing from helmet to helmet. it's just an incredible landmark. now in las vegas, they've also been showcasing the super bowl logo for attendees to see. there's that. and even a countdown leading up to the big game. very fun. well, the 49ers players also feeling excited as they spoke with the media in vegas and ktvu joe fonzi is there in vegas. >> he heard from some of the

long time players and some of the newer stars talking about how their approaching this very big moment. today's 49ers media availability wasn't quite as jam packed as opening night, but there was no shortage of questions for the select group of people made available. >> the one theme that's been consistent throughout the entire season is that this is a team built for winning. >> now, it is unusual. i mean, i think to get to where we have been to where we've gotten and to do it at the level we've had, you should have some players winning a super bowl would be a crowning career achievement for people like 13 year nfl veteran trent williams and 12 year veteran tayshaun gibson, neither of whom has previously played in the big game to be here in this moment, to get a win, man will be so huge, beyond huge. >> it's just to be a super bowl champ. uh, that's what it's about. that's what you play this game for. that's that's exactly what we, we signed up for other players have been here before and come up empty.

>> you don't know if you're ever going to get this opportunity again on. so you absolutely have to take the most advantage of it. >> and for others it's a whole new experience since i know it's plenty more guys that this is probably their first time ever being this far in the playoffs. >> so i just feel like us as the younger guys, we owe this to them. it's been a blessing to, you know, have such a great supporting cast around me. >> um, obviously the keys weren't just given to me or anything. it had to be earned. and, you know, i've come in in day one just obviously trying to learn kyle's system, his playbook and earn the respect of my teammates. and then over time, i've i've been able to, you know, step into that role and be ready for my opportunity. >> did estes are rare in pro football? a kansas city win on sunday would give the chiefs a legitimate claim to that title. a 49ers win would confirm the feeling all year long that this is a team of destiny in las vegas. joe fonzi ktvu fox two. >> all right, joe, thank you. and we do have coverage from las vegas throughout this super bowl week. joe fonzi and cristina

rendon will show us everything that's happening before the super bowl on sunday. >> all right. on friday we have a fox two sports special quest for six. that's at 930 in the morning. sunday at 9 a.m. we have the quest for six live in las vegas. and then at noon, right before the game, quest for six countdown to kick off. >> got it. and fox is teaming up with disney and warner brothers discovery to create a new joint sports streaming platform. now, this service will streamline sports content airing on the company's networks, including espn, abc, fox, tnt, and tbs. the ceo of fox, which owns us ktvu, says the venture will put an array of amazing sports content all in one place. now this standalone app for the new service hasn't been named as yet . subscribers to espn plus, hulu and max will also have access to this special service. >> all right, very exciting. joe

is there. joe? joe is there. christina rendon on her way. steve, we've heard from a lot of viewers they're going to be heading out there even if they don't have tickets, they want to just experience it. but we saw joe holding an umbrella. what's the weather going to be like this next couple of days? >> i don't know, i'll look okay. i have to focus on her, but i'll take a look as soon as i can. i know that system in southern california is pushing into southern nevada and also arizona, but for we have rain on the way here later today. next system, a quarter of an inch to an inch. santa cruz mountains, i think will be the leader of the pack here on this week's. well, it's a fast moving system. 30 for lows, 50s only for highs. you can see our systems on the north coast. it will give us increasing clouds in the morning and taking the turn there finally some change there. you can see the low spinning. but that has produced some rain in las vegas. also scottsdale for the tpc, some rain activity. so i think most of this will push out though by the time we get to the weekend 30s 40s on the temps, some 50s, but a noticeably colder to the north. 25 truckee 18. south lake tahoe

four. in mammoth winter weather advisories also kicked in that started at 4 a.m, and then that'll go through 4 a.m. tomorrow. 4 to 8in of new snow on top of the snow they already had. so that's good. nothing yet. if you're heading up there, now's the time to go. i think you can get up there and be all right, but that system will sweep through. it's a cold system, too. it's a cold front, so it's sweeping in. so turning cloudy in the morning and then rain arrives. this afternoon. highs will only be in the low 50s for some, especially to the north. and i do think santa cruz mountains will take the bulk of this. you can see santa cruz ben lohman both there around an inch or a little bit above a half inch for some should cover it. after this system though, wednesday into thursday i think we get a break for about 5 or 6 days. there are some changes on the way, but i think for over the weekend will be pretty good. heading to the mountains again, about 4 to 8in of snow should probably cover the spread on that, so look for cold temps in the morning, increasing clouds and then rain arrives later this afternoon. but only low to mid 50s on the highs. >> all right steve got it. time

now for 20 a new investment in oakland. the new black owned businesses opening in oakland during this black history month and a bipartisan border deal and foreign aid package is up for a vote in the senate today. >> we have the details of the opposition it faces once it reaches the floor

the way to approach this. if you really want to get a solution on the southern border now, yesterday, the effort led by republicans to impeach the secretary of homeland security failed in the house a few republicans voted with every democrat to oppose impeaching alejandro mayorkas. >> the fight to get some psychedelics legalized in california continues. a new bill would allow adults 21 and older to use psychedelic mushrooms for therapeutic support, the bill's authors say. the goal is to tackle the state's mental health and addiction crisis. it comes after governor newsom vetoed a similar bill last year, but this time the bill would not allow for personal possession and use our time now. >> 424 republican presidential candidate nikki haley now raising money here in the bay area, according to the palo alto daily post, venture capitalist tim draper hosted a fundraiser here for the former governor of south carolina last night in

atherton. now sky fox flew over this. you could see the nikki sign in lights in that yard. nikki haley is also set to appear tonight at a rally in los angeles. >> nikki haley lost the republican primary in nevada, despite being the only major candidate on the state ballot. now, this year, nevada has dueling gop nominating contests, the primary yesterday and a caucus tomorrow. haley was on the primary ballot. donald trump is taking part in the caucus in 2021. nevada passed a law replacing the caucus with a primary. however the nevada republican party decided to hold a caucus anyway, and will give all of its delegates to the caucus winner. now, there was an option on the primary ballot, giving people a chance to vote for none of these candidates, and that option was the winner. as you can see, according to the latest results, 63% of voters in nevada's primary selected none of these candidates, 31% voted for nikki haley. donald trump is expected to win the nevada

caucus, which would give him all 26 of the state's delegates. president biden won the democratic primary election in nevada. he faced very little opposition from about a dozen candidates. >> our time is now 425, former president donald trump now says he will appeal to the us supreme court, a decision made by a federal appeals court that he is not immune from prosecution in the election. interference case. now, unless the supreme court intervenes, the appeals court ruling means donald trump can face trial on charges he allegedly plotted to overturn the 2020 election results you saw is a court speaking not just to former president trump, but to the public and to future generations to say that we have a criminal justice system. >> it has to be allowed to work and function. >> now in its ruling, the appeals court wrote, quote, former president trump's alleged efforts to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election

north. 30s and 40s on the temps here. everything is cleared out. unless you're far enough south. and then there's a little bit of activity, but it won't take long. you can see. look at this. already beginning to move in to the north. and that's our system. it's well to the north, but it will sweep through increasing clouds in the morning. should start late morning or, you know, unless you're north and it'll start a little earlier. but rain moves in and temperatures are quite cool today with low to mid 50s at best. all right. south here for 30 in the morning to tell us what that things are doing okay steve if you are driving let's go. >> right to the golden gate bridge and i'll show you that traffic looks good. they're doing some lane change over here . could cause some delays, but for the most part it is a nice looking drive and getting through. there have been no major problems here. it looks like i went to a picture. a nice picture of the skyline there. but first let's go to the picture of the bay bridge. you can see that traffic is absolutely light for 31. let's get back to the headlines okay sal thank you. >> well pg and e says it's

making progress in restoring full service to the entire bay area right now. 39,000 pg and e customers don't have power. but that's down from sunday's high of almost 400,000. many of those still in the dark live and work in the north bay. now this is pg and e's outage map. it shows blue plugs. that means pg and e has opened community resource centers and cloverdale, guerneville and napa. >> well, your pg e bills could be going up again. the state public utilities commission will consider the increase next month that would raise monthly bills by another 4 to $6 a month. >> that's on top of the $35 a month that we got january 1st. and it does not include the $14 a month that pg and e also submitted at the end of last year. and wants to include in

monthly bills. >> now, consumer groups say the higher rates offset the money pg and e is spending to make its electrical network safe and secure from storms, wildfires and other electric grid hazards. the consumer groups are warning pg and customers to expect more increased rs 12 pending rate hike. >> requests from pg and e that have not been acted on. >> now, the utility reform group wants to cap rate increases to the rate of inflation or social security. that would generally be between 2 to 4. >> our time is now. 433 the san joaquin county sheriff is cracking down on sideshows, and deputies seized 88 cars from just one event last weekend. >> i wouldn't waste your time coming out here or calling about your car because it's going to sit until a judge or the da tells us to let it go. now as part of a new zero tolerance policy, sheriff's deputies are confiscating the cars as

evidence of criminal activity, and the sheriff plans to seek court orders to destroy vehicles that officials deem are dangerous. >> we can prove that this car is sold purpose and is being used for sideshows and to create this type of chaos in our community. >> well then that would be a car, i believe a judge and a jury would find that they no longer have the right to own the sheriff says sheriff's deputies have already found guns and illegal drugs in some of those cars, and says it'll take time to search and document all of the evidence. >> now the state is sending 120 chp officers to oakland to help deal with the city's increasing crime. other cities across the state report violent crime and property crime held steady or actually decreased. last year, but oakland reported violent crime was up 21% from the year before. the chp says its officers will focus on auto theft, cargo theft, retail crime and helping with traffic enforcement.

>> our goal with this operation is to restore a sense of safety, not only for the residents, but the business owners and the visitors of the east bay area. >> now, it's not clear when the officers will start working in oakland. mayor shengtao is welcoming the deployment of chp officers, but some community leaders say she should not be taking the credit. now, the naacp says mayor tao was not present at its meeting with the governor last month when community leaders asked for the chp officers, the civil rights group says, quote, the mayor is mislead the public and attempting to take credit for the increased chp coming to oakland. she nor her staff were a part of the meeting with the governor, and she should be ashamed for trying to take credit for the work of the naacp oakland branch in san jose. some people are saying no to the possibility of a new costco in their neighborhood, and ktvu lamonica peters tells us the group says the new store would create major traffic jams and

safety concerns near homes and schools. >> mark polygar is co-founder of save west valley, a grassroots organization formed in 2021 who believes the proposed costco location on prospect road will negatively impact the entire area. >> there's going to be 11,000 car trips a day to and from this site. >> the group also includes residents from san jose, saratoga, campbell and cupertino. san jose vice mayor rosemary kamai held a community meeting on monday to discuss the project's environmental impact report. >> there were no traffic studies or safety studies done for those times when the kids were leaving and, uh, coming to school, polygar says. >> the 20 acre costco project will be located near prospect high school. save west valley also says heavy traffic, months of construction and access to nearby stores are also concerns they've gathered over 3300

the sales of his jersey up almost 400% since he started his relationship with taylor swift. and it became public. >> like, it's a love story and wildest dreams. if you're a swiftie, you got those connections. if you're watching the game, you will likely see the work of a san francisco based ad agency. could be silverstar and partners producing for super bowl commercials this year. that is the most ever by a single ad agency. the commercials are for doritos, mountain dew cup, kawasaki and bmo. it took months to create some of the 62nd commercials. we started back in the summer. >> we have teams concepting on different ideas, and i think the name of the game here is to be flexible, because you may have an idea initially that you have a certain celebrity in mind for or a certain piece of music, um, comes to mind when you're coming up with this idea and those things don't always happen. so you have to be flexible and be able to pivot. the process is a

little messy. >> goodby silverstein says while the main goal of the ads is to sell the product, the ultimate goal is to work on a commercial that people remember and talk about. well after the super bowl, that ad agency in san francisco is known for the got milk ah campaign. so they are very successful. >> all right. time is 449. there's a new map showing most of the nation rooting for the 40 niners to win the super bowl. this is coming from bet online. they went through tweets by location using fan hashtags like go niners or chiefs kingdom. they found 37 states supporting the 40 niners, 13 are rooting for the. kansas city chiefs. the same map was put together back in 2020, when these two teams played where most of the country was rooting for the kansas city chiefs. it is 450. a friendly wager in congress on the big super bowl game. east bay

congressman eric swalwell is challenging kansas city congressman sharice davids. now, if the 40 niners win on sunday, congresswoman davids owes congressman swalwell some famous kansas city barbecue. but the congressman says if a miracle happens and kansas city comes out a winner, he'll give the congresswoman some delicious california soy see's candy. >> nice. well, california's great america amusement park in santa clara is also facing off with a super bowl wager against worlds of fun in kansas city. highlights of the wager the losing city will have to fly the opposing team's flag at their park. you can see some of the great american employees putting the 49ers flag in a fedex box to send to kc. the losing park also agrees to rename one of their coasters to whatever the winning park chooses. i'm sure that's

city's 2.86 and beat danville. that's at the danville library at two and a third. more rain is on the way, and that will be coming in late morning, early afternoon. it's a cold system, 30s for lows for some, which means especially to the north, only low 50s for some highs. that's our system. it's marching right along now. some light overrunning rain could easily start if it hasn't already. to the north, the good news, though, is the system has finally taken the turn at southern california, and now it's moving into san diego, but also over to las vegas. look at that. they're getting in mount charleston is getting a ton of snow and down in beautiful scottsdale for the tpc. it's been rain. so a lot going on in the west. see the 30s, kelseyville, santa rosa, petaluma, napa and vacaville. that cold walnut creek, that cold air is going to get trapped with increasing clouds. 27 reno. same for truckee. 18 south lake tahoe. mammoth at five cold degrees. winter weather advisory has started already. goes through 4 a.m. tomorrow. about 4 to 8in of snow. there could be more than that above 7000ft.

this is a cold system so snow levels will be lower. i'll put in the snow levels when i have time to fix it. uh, nothing yet. so if you're going, now's the time. go, go go. 50 or 80. now is the time to get up there to beat this system. it'll swing down. look, that's coming right down out of the north. and we will have chilly, chilly temperatures for a couple of days. so turning cloudy, some light rain to the north. late morning early afternoon. most of this system arrives into this evening. and guess what? santa cruz mountains looks to be the one. focus here of over an inch of rain, almost. ben lomond also santa cruz over to morgan hill, san jose and half moon bay. a little more than those areas north and also east. after for tomorrow, i think we get a break. there'll be a brushing system for the sierra on friday. no big deal though. and then i think we get a break at least through the middle of next week. but if you're going to the mountains, more snow is on the way and lower snow levels. pam okay, sounds great. >> new details and new questions this morning after federal regulators released a preliminary report on the mid-air blowout on an alaska airlines flight and valentine's day is just a week away, and one

they're demanding an agreement that will invest in more staffing and better pay. >> we've been in negotiations with uc for over a year trying to come up with a fair contract that is going to retain and attract quality optometrists who are going to stay here. and unfortunately, uc has been negotiating in bad faith and thus we have no option but to go on this ulp strike today. both the union and uc have recently filed unfair labor practice charges against each other, with state regulators. >> now, the office of uc president issued a statement ktvu saying in part, quote, the university believes the planned upt action related to this limited group of employees is an unlawful exercise by the union since their contract contains a no strike clause that prevents work stoppages and requires the union to prevent disruptive behavior. now it goes on to say that it is committed to the bargaining process, which is scheduled to resume this summer. well with valentine's day coming

50 on the tables low to mid at best. all right. sal is here to talk about what. >> yeah not a lot which is good i think that people are out there but there's not a big crowd just yet. so you still have some opportunity to get out there. this is a look at the bay bridge approach. you can see it is lightly traveled so far. i think it's going to change as the morning wears on. but right now you still have a pretty good opportunity to get out there. no major problems right now for that silicon valley commute at 501. let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal topping our news this morning. an investigation this morning in san francisco after a crash involving a cyclist and a waymo self-driving car in the potrero hill neighborhood. ktvu is bailey o'carroll joins us live with more on the details of the incident. bailey >> pam, good morning. that crash did happen in the potrero hill neighborhood here of san francisco. we are just outside. you can see, of a waymo kind of storage lot, if you will already this morning we've seen a number of those cars already head out. i haven't seen too many head

back in. um, but actually while sal was talking about the traffic and what we were looking at, we saw one of those cars pull out and it looks like there's one pulling out right now. not sure if you can see that. it's kind of at the tail end of the parking lot, and it looks like it's actually going to go out of the other exit there. but i do want to get back to what happened in this crash. it happened at 17th street and mississippi. according to a statement from waymo, the intersection is a four way stop, they said. a large truck passed through that intersection while this happened. they say a cycling was also passing through at the same time as that large truck, but that the cyclist was actually hidden by that truck. it was moving in the direction of the waymo car. uh, then the waymo car began to pass through the intersection. the cyclist crossed into the path of the car. car did not register or did not see that cyclist pass through. they say at that point,

it despite a hard brake, it was just too late. the waymo car was not able to avoid that cyclist and they did crash into that cyclist. now, in a statement, they went on to say that, quote, waymo called the police to the scene. the cyclist left on their own. they say two are knowledge reporting only minor scratches. we are making contact with relevant authorities surrounding this event. now we have reached out to waymo to see if they plan on releasing any dash cam video of that crash captured from that waymo car. we have not heard back yet. again, they tell us that that cyclist who was involved was able to leave the scene of that crash in potrero hill under their own power. so that, of course, some good news here this morning. and we will of course, be sure to update you if we hear anything back from waymo as soon as we hear it. reporting live in san francisco. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, bailey, thank you. and the other self-driving company cruise is trying to find a way to wrap up an

investigation of a crash in san francisco, where one of its cars hit a pedestrian. now, the company offered to pay a bigger fine to the california public utilities commission. during yesterday's hearing, executives for cruz also said that they regret the effort to cover up that crash to regulators. back in october, general motors, which owns cruz, has replaced many of the company's leaders and has indefinitely put testing of the autonomous cars on pause. >> the preliminary report from the national transportation safety board has been released regarding that failed door on an alaska airlines jet. it shows all four bolts that are supposed to hold the door plug in place were missing. it's not clear why that was not caught in the manufacturing and inspection process. >> the fact that they have these different reporting structures and sign off requirements, etc. and that they just weren't done in is doubly shocking. it's not that they didn't know what they should do, they knew exactly what they should do and they

just didn't do it. >> nearly all max nine jets operated by united and alaska airlines have been inspected and returned to the flight lines. the investigation continues, though, so we don't know yet if the sub contractor who built the door plug or boeing, which installed it, is to blame. boeing says it does continue to cooperate with investigators as our time's now. >> 505 pga now investigating a fire in san francisco inside of an underground utility vault. it happened at third and mission streets, and sky fox was flying over the area where black smoke poured out of a maintenance hole that area was blocked off for hours as repair teams fixed the problem. we arrived on scene shortly after to assess the situation and make the area safe. >> we've been working very closely with san francisco fire and police departments at this time. there is no power outage associated with this and just last year in pacific heights, there was a similar underground vault fire.

>> the mayor of las vegas said the oakland a's should stay in oakland and pursue their dream of a waterfront ballpark. it's a big story. mayor carolyn goodman said that after talking about how the a's turned down a bigger stadium location in downtown vegas that was offered and instead decided to use the site of the old tropicana hotel. now, mayor goodman says she's impressed with the loyalty of oakland sports fans who come to her area for what are now las vegas raiders games and she said a's owner john fisher should listen to the fans who want the a's to stay in oakland. i personally think they've got to figure out a way to stay in oakland and make their dream come true, to come here and take down an old hotel and put it right at the heart of the strip and more congestion. >> we have enough congestion right now. >> now, mayor goodman says she's excited about the idea of having

a major league baseball team in las vegas. but she thinks it should be an expansion team. oakland mayor shang tao has said in the past her door is open to fisher if he wants to talk again about building a new stadium for the a's, it is 506 later today, officials at the port of oakland will bring together stakeholders to talk aboutrillioneducing emissions. what's called the first ever zero emission symposium will be held, bringing together the ports, vendors as well as leaders in the maritime and aviation industry, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and attracting more green businesses to oakland. >> power outages in the bay area are now down to about 40,000 and customers this morning. the outage map shows problem areas include sonoma, napa and marin counties and along the peninsula. the blue electrical plugs on the map represent community resources centers. pga are open to help people without

power. those are in guerneville, cloverdale and at the crosswalk community church in napa. almost 400,000 local pga customers lost power at the peak of the outages sunday night. now, pga calls it the third biggest single day event in company history for hundred power poles and 239 transformers were damaged and the power went out at san jose's willow glen neighborhood sunday afternoon and has not been restored to all homes and businesses yet. >> it's been a rather tedious when it comes to trying to manage heat, trying to manage hot water and things of that sorts pg and e's regional vice president says she understands people's frustrations about how long it is taking for the power to be restored. >> your time now. 508. there's another southern california victim of the severe weather lifeguards down in san diego county recovered the body of a man reported to be floating face down in the tijuana river. us customs officials say he may have been part of a group of migrants crossing the border

here, but that's not confirmed yet. two other people were pulled out of the san diego river, both both survived and los angeles county officials say at least 475 mudslides have occurred since the storms began monday. two homes in studio city were severely damaged in one of those mudslides and fire fighters helped people safely get out of nine other nearby homes. and if you want to keep up with the recovery efforts from the storm, download the fox local app. you can track our live interactive radar and see stories on demand on many smart tvs and streaming devices. just search for fox local app and then select ktvu. >> there's a lot of good stuff on there. yes, yes, including your talk of the town. >> it's there. >> you can look up all of that. all right, steve paulson has our forecast. what do we need to know. >> what's the talk of the town? mr. clarke? >> the talk of the town is the fact that later today we're

going to get more rain. >> that's a good one. all right. thank you, sir. yes we are for some areas to the north already sweeping in. this is just the warm sector in advance of a cold system. all right. it's a cold front. if you hear anything differently, that that's not the case. it's a cold front, but you can see moving into mendocino county and into lake county, that's just in advance of the system. still has a ways to go. it's on the north coast, but it's going to keep us rather cool today with a lot of low 50s to the north. so increasing clouds, if you're north, some lightrillionain, i think for most of the bay area though late morning early afternoon into this evening, the main system will start to move in. and that's when rain rates will pick up. heaviest amounts. santa cruz, santa cruz mountains, san jose, morgan hill, over to half moon bay, more so than anywhere else but about a third of an inch to upwards of an inch looks to be covering the spread after thursday morning. it looks like we'll get a little bit of a break for at least five days. i'm not buying into the ten day outlook of nothing but for the mountains, a winter weather advisory has already started, goes through 4 a.m. tomorrow. the best time to travel would

probably be friday morning, but another 4 to 8in. maybe more than that above the 7000 foot level. but snow levels will be coming down with this system big time. it's cold one cold morning, increasing clouds, some light rain to the north. cool temps today. rain develops later for many, especially if you're east and south. it won't come in until late morning early afternoon. 50s on the temps so rain today. a little bit lingering into thursday. a weak system brushes the sierra friday but then the weekend looks better. you guys all right? >> thank you steve. our pga bill could be going up again. the rate increase the california public utilities commission is now considering. >> and the super bowl now just four days away. we'll hear from some of the 49ers players on how they're approaching this big moment

the assembly speaker, willie brown, was one of the people honored. he was joined by former defense secretary and central coast congressman leon panetta. the purpose of public service is to improve the lives of people. >> and i have to tell you that the greatest reward in public service that i've ever had is knowing that you made a difference in the lives of others. >> he has made a difference. the other new hall of fame members

are practicing at the las vegas raiders facility, which has both indoor and outdoor fields. now, while football analysts say the chiefs have a big advantage at the quarterback position, the 49ers are really confident that brock purdy will hold his own against patrick mahomes as that's, i think, the most special thing about brock. >> i mean, just he doesn't have to change much because that's really who he is. i mean, brock is humble of a person as i've ever been around. >> it's been a blessing to, you know, have such a great supporting cast around me. um, obviously the keys weren't just given to me or anything. it had to be earned. and, you know, i've come in in day one just obviously trying to learn kyle's system, his playbook and earn the respect of my teammates. >> brock purdy says 49ers quarterback legends joe montana and steve young told him, you don't have to be a superstar. trust the coaches and your teammates and seize the moment. and we do have extra coverage for you from las vegas. all

that's about 550ft just west of novato. nine 3930 in rain, not 930. time saratoga hills. nine over nine fairfax. 914. in boulder creek. picked up just over nine inches of rain locations. what about my backyard? well, you might add a lot of rain too, especially bonnie doon, eight and a half, san rafael eight and a third san francisco, almost five. santa rosa. that was at spring lake, 4.60. san jose, three and a half more than oakland. although there were other parts of oakland that had more than that. three and a third belmont 3.16 and danville picked up two and a third. next system is on the way, already spreading some lightrillionain. mendocino county, lake county. but most of this will show up a little later here about an inch forecast for santa cruz. santa cruz mountains, 30s for lows only. low 50s for highs. this is a cold system. look at i mean the air aloft is incredibly cold here. mount diablo is 30 degrees. 30 degrees. my goodness . could get some low snow levels out of this when it's that cold, they'll warm up a little bit,

but still 30s for many. although the cloud cover beginning to come in, i think we'll see these lows go up a little bit. 27 reno, truckee, 21 south lake tahoe, mammoth was five. now they're ten, but the winter weather advisory is out for the mountains. about 4 to 8in of snow around lake level and lower , even down to pollock pines. so this is a cold system. lower snow levels for sure on this. nothing quite developing yet. so if you go now you can beat it. i head up there and make it but some light overrunning is beginning to move into mendocino county. it'll take a while before it gets here, but to the north some morning and then late morning early afternoon for most here, this system will linger into tomorrow and it will keep us on the cold side. so turning cloudy, light rain. well to the north, but rain arrives a little bit later here. late morning, early afternoon and quite cool temps again. the focus is on santa cruz, santa cruz mountains for the most half moon bay, san jose and morgan hill showing more than other locations and today's forecast does have cold morning here. 30s 40s, increasing clouds, some light rain to the north, but cool temps, low 50s on many of these temps with rain moving in for

snow in the mountains. lower snow levels 50 low to mid at best. we'll kick it out of here tomorrow and then friday. one weak system, no big deal then. it does look better for the weekend. okay steve time now. >> 520 a bipartisan border deal and a foreign aid package up for a vote today in the us senate. we have the details of the opposition facing the bill once it actually reaches the senate floor. and don't forget, you can have the morning headlines delivered right to you by signing up for the ktvu newsletter. just go to ktvu dot com slash email, sign up for the daily service great party, carlene. you must have blown your budget. not exactly. you have great wine, name brand snacks, tons of meat. and where did you get this imported cheese? hello? grocery outlet bargain market

in the united states senate on a bipartisan border security bill. that bill would set new policies on the border and also give funding for ukraine and israel. it is backed by the white house, but it is facing growing opposition from republicans as it normalizes. 5000 illegal immigrants a day. >> that works out to 1.8 million a year. that works out to about 6 million illegal immigrants over the three years of biden. >> this being combined with ukraine and foreign aid, i think, was a mistake. it was not the way to approach this. if you really want to get a solution on the southern border yesterday, an effort led by republicans to impeach alejandro mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security,

law replacing the caucus with a primary. however, the nevada republican party decided to hold a caucus as well. they'll be giving all of its delegates to the caucus winner, and there was an option on the primary ballot giving people a chance to vote for none of these candidates that option was the winner. according to the latest results, 63% of voters in nevada's primary selected the no. one of the candidates, 31% voted for nikki haley. donald trump is expected to win the nevada caucuses, which would give him all 26 of nevada's delegates. well, president biden won the democratic primary election in nevada, facing very little opposition from about a dozen candidates and former president trump says he will appeal to the us supreme court, a decision made by a federal appeals court that he is not immune from prosecution in the election interference case. now, unless

the u.s. supreme court intervenes, the appeals courtrillionuling means trump can face trial on charges he allegedly plotted to overturn the 2020 election result s. time now. 526 taylor swift's love story with kansas city chiefs tight end travis kelce has attracted a lot of new viewers to football this year. we'll tell you how her star power is extending even to t sup bow two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat,

the way. everything is moving out of the area. there could be a little bit of activity south, but my attention is to the north here as the increasing clouds, and that's going to lead to rain. now some light rain will develop here, but most locations will wait until late morning early afternoon. the front is up there, but the warm overrunning is already beginning to spread into parts of areas to the north. but 50s low 50s for some at best today. all right, cells here at 530 in the morning. and he's here to tell you and me the traffic is it's still light. >> steve, i've been looking around. there's not a lot going on, by the way. i'm not complaining. i never complain if it's light. we you know, just because i have my feet up on the desk here, i don't think i'll have it that much longer. let's look at the bay bridge. you can see traffic is moving. well i think that as we get to the end of this hour, we're going to start seeing some of those usual backups. certainly there are people on the road. this is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. it looks pretty good. and the san mateo bridge also looks pretty good. no problems on the peninsula or for that

matter in the silicon valley. we look at 101. it looks good all the way up into the upper peninsula. 531 let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. what we're learning more now about governor newsom's plan to send 120 highway patrol officers to oakland to fight rising crime. ktvu is ali rasmus is here now to tell us how community groups, oakland residents and the mayor are reacting to all of this. good morning. ali >> good morning dave. the reaction from some of those community groups and residents and the mayor is overall pretty positive. most say they like the idea of having extra police in the city of oakland right now. in a statement from the local chapter of the naacp, they said, quote, the oakland branch of the naacp thanks governor gavin newsom for responding to calls to address public safety in oakland. our residents and businesses are suffering with no relief in sight, end quote. back in august, the governor sent six chp officers and a sergeant to help with crime. now, another 120 are on their way. a 900%

increase. the oakland chapter of the naacp, the unity council, and the oakland chamber of commerce all met with governor newsom last month specifically to ask for this kind of help. the groups say they met privately with the governor without any other elected officials present. even so, oakland mayor shan tao told ktvu she is grateful for the extra police resources from the state. the chp did give us a little more information about what those extra 120 officers will be helping with. >> they're also coming from various specialty units. we have canine air operations, investigative services units, and task forces. in fact, another big part of this, or a key component because there's an auto theft component involved, is the alameda county regional auto theft task force. they're going to play a big role. >> i feel it's really needed a lot of us are very nervous walking around, and whereas before we weren't and people are getting hit over and over again, we've said the only way that

we're going to get safe is cages and cops. >> and that has just proven not to be true. america incarcerates more people than any other country on the planet. >> now, that was a perspective of another community group called the anti-police terror project that the organizers there say the solution, they believe is not more police, but more crime prevention resources and economic opportunities. in oakland. now, the chp wouldn't give us a timeline for exactly how long these 120 officers will be in the city of oakland, but they say that the program has already, quote, hit the ground running, meaning this deployment of additional chp resources is already underway. live in oakland, ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news okay, ali, thank you. >> times 534. the san joaquin county sheriff cracking down on sideshow shows. and they seized 88 cars at one event last weekend. >> i wouldn't waste your time coming out here or calling about your car, because it's going to sit until a judge or the da

tells us to let it go. >> now, as part of a new zero tolerance policy, sheriff's deputies are confiscating the cars as evidence of criminal activity. the sheriff plans to seek court orders to destroy any vehicles deemed dangerous. >> if you can prove that this car is sole purpose and is being used for sideshows, and to create this type of chaos in our community, well then that would be a car. i believe a judge and a jury would find that they no longer have the right to own. >> the sheriff says deputies have found guns and illegal drugs in some of those cars. he says it will take some time to search and document all of the evidence. our time is 535 pg and e says it's making progress in restoring full service to the entire bay area. right now, 39,000 pg and e customers don't have power. that's down from the high on sunday of almost 400,000, and most of the customers still without power live and work in the north bay.

the pg and e outage map. you're looking at shows blue plugs, which means pg and e has opened community resource centers in cloverdale, guerneville and napa. >> well, pg and e bills could be going up again. the state public utilities commission will consider the increase next month . >> that would raise monthly bills by another 4 to $6 a month. that's on top of the $35 a month that we got january 1st. and it does not include the $14 a month that pg and e also submitted at the end of last year. and wants to include in monthly bills. >> consumer groups say the higher rates offset the money pg and e is spending to make sure its electric networks is safe and secure from storms, wildfires and other electric grid hazards. the consumer groups are warning pg and e customers to expect more increases.

>> 12 pending a rate hike, requests from pg and e that have not been acted on. >> the utility reform group wants to cap rate increases to the rate of inflation of social security. that would generally be between 2 to 4. >> our time is now 536. the irs says it could collect hundreds of billions of dollars more in unpaid and overdue taxes every year, thanks to new funding. there's a new report from the treasury department and the irs. it says new funding will help increase enforcement, especially of millionaires and billionaires. and that increased enforcement could bring in as much as $561 billion in tax revenue in the next decade from people who have not paid taxes. treasury secretary janet yellen told the irs. focus on auditing people who earn more than $400,000 a year. jp morgan chase

is opening up more than 500 new locations. >> it will also hire 3500 new employees over the next three years in cities, including charlotte, boston and minneapolis. jp morgan already holds the title for the largest branch presence in the us market. the company also says it will renovate about 1700 existing locations. >> all right. pam thomas 537 steve is busy and one of the things you're focused on, it's cold, it's cooler. this morning. >> it is cold. we'll get a cold rain today. but i'm going to look back to yesterday and do a little edumacation for you here, if you will, because i saw these myself. but steve himoff, i believe it is two today. these clouds look pretty menacing. could we have a tornado in oakland? what he's talking about are these clouds kind of right? they're kind of drifting down. drifting down? the answer is no. there was a really good one in between the carquinez bridge and benicia, right around glen cove yesterday, about 950 in the morning. these are called scud clouds. they're low lying clouds

beneath the storm clouds. warm air lifts, condenses. then the cloud pushes outward. the key it has no rotation. scud clouds. we had those yesterday. there will be a quiz. this friday, by the way. so pamela. >> okay, i'm paying attention. >> books town. here we go. uh, quarter to an inch. forecast for today. inch plus, maybe santa cruz mountains, 30 for lows. mr. clerk is correct. it's going to be a cool, cool day here. there's some light overrunning to the north, but the main system arrives late morning, early afternoon. but you could get some light rain, especially starting moving to mendocino county, lake county, maybe northern sonoma county. it doesn't take much when the air is saturated, so you can see, but the air aloft is i mean, it's darn cold out there. mount diablo is 30, 31. i mean, it's cold and i've seen a lot of 30s in the hills, so it'll be a chilly day with the cloud cover coming in 30s 40s. some 50s on the temps here, but snow on the mountains. winter weather advisories already started for about 4 to 8in of snow that goes through tomorrow morning. uh,

then after that we'll see. improving conditions. if you want to head up there does look better friday into the weekend. you can see our system beginning to spread the light warm, overrunning rain to the north. but the cold core system is going to be here this afternoon into tonight. and i mean, it's a cold system here. so turning cloudy. some light rain north most of the morning commute. you should be fine. rain arrives unless you're north and cold temps here. i think the most rain looks to be a unanimous is around half moon bay, san jose morgan hill, santa cruz, santa cruz mountains. a third of an inch to an inch should probably cover most of the spread. low 50s. would not be surprised, especially to the north. some upper 40s for highs. that's how cold it is here. rain develops later. it's on its way. 50s on the temps. will have some rain today, maybe a little bit lingering into thursday. weak system friday. no big deal. the weekend though, looks better. >> all right thank you steve. a desperate plea for renter protections in marin county coming up at 6:00. the response in san rafael to the demands of families evicted from a low income complex also, toymakers are creating toys to make all

termination. her name is gina serrano, who starred in the mandalorian. she says she was discriminated against by disney and by lucasfilm because she shared her political views online. the lawsuit seeks to require the companies to rehire serrano and give her $75,000 in compensation. so far, there's no comment from disney. >> more companies are creating toys that appeal to a bigger audience. they want to make children of all ages feel included and represented, managers say promoting diversity and inclusion can give kids a healthy idea of the world. >> overall, the toy industry, especially here in the us, has really grown in the past few years to look beyond what used to be considered the norm and really start zeroing in on how play and i'm talking play in general for kids shapes who they grow up to become in. >> crayola brings diversity to

arts and crafts with their colors of the world collection, which is a palette of colors giving more options for skin colors. >> our time now 544 i can't say it like pam cook, but it's a love story between taylor swift and the nfl. her romance with travis kelce, the kansas city chiefs tight end, is fueling the growth of the nfl. sunday's super bowl game, expected to attract a record audience, according to a survey by lendingtree, 8,013% of americans say they have an increased interest in football because because of the connection with taylor swift and that more than 20% of among viewers who are under the age of 40, her personal brand is so big that she has the ability to change public opinion, change consumer behavior, whether that's football, clothing, politics. now, travis kelce is popularity may also be surpassing any of his wildest dreams. the sales of his jersey are up almost 400%

since he became in a relationship with taylor swift, and it became public. oh yeah, fans are still screaming. >> can't deny it. yeah. all right. if you're watching the game, you will likely see the work of a san francisco based ad agency. goodby, silverstein and partners is producing for super bowl commercials this year. that is the most ever for a single ad agency. >> yeah, the commercials are for doritos, mountain dew, kawasaki and bmw. it took months to create some of these 62nd commercials. >> we started back in the summer. we have teams concepting on different ideas, and i think the name of the game here is to be flexible, because you may have an idea initially that you have a certain celebrity in mind for or a certain piece of music. um comes to mind when you're coming up with this idea and those things don't always happen. so you have to be flexible and be able to pivot the process is a little messy.

>> all right. good to be. silverstein says while the main goal of the ads is to sell the product, the ultimate goal is to work on a commercial that people remember and talk about. well, after the super bowl, that san francisco ad agency known for its got milk campaign, which certainly has had legs, it sure has. >> well, fans are really buying up 49ers gear before super bowl sunday. anticipation for the super bowl and also to celebrate black history month, the 49ers are designing a limited edition apparel collection called black excellence. the lead designer behind it says the collection represents what it means to be black and excellent on and off the field. it started off, i think, just like a t shirt idea, but then i proposed this jackets, shirts, jerseys, satin jackets. >> are are in right now. i didn't even anticipate that to be like such a big style point right now. so hopefully somebody will will wear that to the super bowl. and also, uh, embody that

energy. >> and guess what? it may be hard to find some of this gear for most of the items are sold out at the team store at levi stadium, and there's a new map out showing most of the nation rooting for the 49ers to win the super bowl. that's according to bet. bet online. they went through tweets by location using fan hashtag tags like go niners or chiefs kingdom. they found 37 states supporting the 40 niners, 30. gene are rooting for the chiefs. now. the same map was put together back in 2020, when these two teams played most of the country was rooting for the kansas city chiefs. >> all right, las vegas expects most super bowl fans to arrive in the next couple of days, and this year's super bowl is shaping up to be the most expensive super bowl experience ever. >> when you combine the game itself, lodging and food, the cost of a flight now, the sports

management research institute says four and five star hotel rooms cost an average of more than $1,300 a night this weekend , and those room rates hit a high of $2,000 a night. but now they're coming down a bit. >> i think that vegas is doing an exceptional job of trying to figure out the supply demand curve with the hotel rates they dropped, which is which is nice. >> now, if you're on a budget but you still want to go to the super bowl, the experts advise flying to vegas the day of the super bowl and don't pay for a hotel. but then you face the risk of missing the game completely. only if there are flight delays or flights canceled in san jose, a planned new costco is facing pushback from people who say it would create traffic jams and safety concerns if the group is called save west valley, they believe the proposed costco location on prospect road will negatively

affect that area. they've collected more than 3300 signatures of support to stop the construction of the costco. it says. the costco project will be near prospect high school and cause safety concerns with heavy traffic, there's going to be 11,000 car trips a day to and from this site. >> there were no traffic studies or safety studies done for those times when the kids were leaving. and, uh, coming to school. >> the residents of san jose have until february 20th to submit whatever feedback you have to the city about that plan for a costco in that area. all right. >> as we check in with sal, i think the roads are going to be okay up to tahoe. here's my tip for super bowl weekend. if you don't care about watching the super bowl, it's a great day to ski or board. there's hardly anybody on the mountain, especially with 40 niners in there. so get out of the place

yourself. sal, i know you're going to be watching, but well, i'll be i'll be watching, of course. >> however, you know, there are years when the 40 niners or whatever team i'm interested in may not be in, uh, back when i was a skier, i don't ski anymore, pam. my knees can't take me back when i. when they were teams that, you know, i didn't really care about, i would record the game, watch it later, and then go up and go grab some fresh powder. yeah >> exactly. >> dude. yeah >> exact. dude, brah, let's go. anyway, my knees can't take that anymore. let's go out and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. i do like the lodge. just like garcia says. the lodge is underrated. you sit there and you watch people come in. love it. west bound bay bridge. you can see traffic is going to be backed up for about a ten minute delay. no major problems. this is a look at interstate 80. see that traffic is moving along well. so we're off to a nice start. things are beginning to fill in. we don't have a lot of slow traffic right now. keep an eye on the silicon valley commute. northbound 101 does have a little slowing after 280.

getting up to the 80 interchange. here's a man who's always doing the right thing at the right time. it's mister steve paulson. >> well, it only took me about 50 years to figure that out. so >> but better late than never. >> better late than never. yes. all right. thank you, sir. uh, look at seven day rain totals. these are the highest amounts that i saw. if you had more, you can always let me know. west of healdsburg, 11.5 lake. sonoma 10.63. uh west of nevada and the novato hills, about 540ft, nine and a third. saratoga hills over nine. fairfax, marin county over nine. and boulder creek, also over nine inches of rain. san francisco had five and san rafael had eight and a third. san jose even had more than oakland. everybody had over at least two and a half to upwards of eight for most locations, a quarter inch to an inch is on the way. uh, the breeze will pick up. it's a cold, cold system. i mean, there's a lot of 30s in the hills. some rain is already moving into the north. mendocino county, lake county. there's also been some lightrillionain towards the

peninsula and santa clara valley that's left over from yesterday's system. but our system is sweeping it now. most locations, it'll only be light here for the morning. this is coming in late morning, early afternoon. it's just i mean, it's darn cold up there in the hills. mount diablo, 31 west at 37. that'll get your attention right there. that's cold. 38, walnut creek, 39 kelseyville petaluma, 39, napa 37. the cloud cover coming in, though, is probably is sending these temps up a little bit. winter weather advisories out for the mountains . another 4 to 8in of snow might be more than that. above 7000 foot level. this is a cold system. snow level will drop big time down to about 3000ft. it looks like. here you can see some activity to the north. most of this is coming in late morning early afternoon, but already if you're south, there's some light rain. but this system will keep temperatures quite cool. today. look for low 50. increasing clouds usher south and you get some light rain. but rain arrives and cold temps afternoon evening. this will take us into this evening. starting to clear out thursday. the heaviestrillionainfall looks to be around halfmoon bay, san

jose, morgan hill and santa cruz, santa cruz mountains. you guys. >> all right steve, thank you. time now. 553 psychologists said one school district say they're just burned out. nick new at 6:00. the challenges facing the west contra costa unified school district and the long workdays and how about this for a valentine, one organization is helping animals as they help you get even with your ex creature: i'm your retirement fear. but don't be scared, you're still in pretirement. woman: does that mean i have more time to plan? creature: precisely. this is pretirement.org. woman: this isn't scary, i'm doing it. creature: whoa!

the striking optometrists say the university of california has failed for more than a year now to agree on the terms of employment for 80 optometrists who joined the union in 2022. they're demanding an agreement that will invest in more staffing and better pay. we've been in negotiations with uc for over a year trying to come up with a fair contract that is going to retain and attract quality optometrists who are going to stay here. >> and unfortunately, uc has been negotiating in bad faith and thus we have no option but to go on this ulp strike today. both the union and uc have recently filed unfair labor practice charges against each other, with state regulator was now the office of the uc president.

>> issued a statement to ktvu saying in part, the university believes the planned action related to this limited group of employees is an unlawful exercise by the union since their contract contains a no strike clause that prevents work stoppages and requires the union to prevent disruptive behavior. it goes on to say it's committed to the bargaining process, which is scheduled to resume this summer. >> our time now. 557 new lawsuits were filed in federal court accusing a fertility tech company based here in the bay area of selling defective products that led to embryos being destroyed. now, the three lawsuits claim that cooper surgical in san ramon sold a defective solution used for growing embryos for in vitro fertilization. the plaintiffs say the solution was toxic and killed the embryos they hoped to use to have children. >> that solution is critical because it's meant to essentially mimic the environment inside a woman's womb and support that healthy

embryo development. >> now, a spokesperson for cooper surgical sent a statement to ktvu. it said in part, in accordance with the requirements of our quality management system , a media recall was initiated to proactively address any possible issue with our products while we continue to investigate . >> and with valentine's day coming, an animal shelter in new jersey has launched a program designed to help cats and provide some revenge for those who have had an unhappy breakup. it's a fundraiser for the shelter called neuter your ex. take a look. it's part of the shelters program to spay and neuter feral cats for $50. they will name one of the cats whatever name the donor wants, the neuter or spay the cat and release it back into the wild. >> looks like so far the most common names sent in are are jeff, mike, ian and tyler. so those are the four most common names sent in. i think my

favorite is gaslight guy. um, that was a nickname for one of the cats. >> by taking away the cats ability to breed, the shelter hopes to prevent the stray cat population from growing. >> plus, coming up, a crash involving a waymo car will give you the details right after the break. >> they hear her say something like that was, uh, pretty surprised. >> a sign of hope for fans of the oakland a's who want the a's to stay in oakland. we'll tell you why. the mayor of las vegas is saying moving the a's to her city is not the right play from ktvu fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you. thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook wednesday morning february 7th. if you need to walk the dog take a run bike ride something. there's some rain headed our way today. let's check in with steve for the details. >> well, it's around, but the main focus will be later in the

morning and the afternoon. but there's already a little bit to the south and starting to move into mendocino county. lake county here it's cold 30s on the temps here, not only at the surface but also aloft. there's a lot of 30 show. you can see some lightrillionain been scooting through parts of the peninsula down to san jose, morgan hill, not a lot, but a little bit there to use the windshield wipers. the main system is to the north and this is a cold core system. so cold rain and snow, snow level dropped to 4000, maybe even 3000ft by tonight. tomorrow so lightrillionain south turning cloudy, cold and a cloudy cold day with rain on the way. it will sweep in from the north and be with us late morning early afternoon. 50s on the temps. all right. sal is here. 601. anything new? >> uh, nothing really big. there was a crash south down. 680. steve at 24. but fortunately it's been moved to the shoulder. it's not blocking lanes, not causing a big backup. highway four does have some slowing coming in on westbound four from bay point in the concord. and then 24 once you get past that 680 thing. i mentioned. looks

pretty decent over to the caldecott bay bridge, though. is backing up now. those metering lights have been on for a bit. nothing out of the ordinary, but there is a backup here at the toll plaza 601. let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal. this morning an investigation continues in san francisco after a crash involving a cyclist and a waymo self-driving car in the potrero hill neighborhood. ktvu is bailey o'carroll joins us now with more details on the incident. bailey >> good morning, pam. as you mentioned, that crash did happen in the potrero hill neighborhood. it is not far from where we are right now from this waymo lot, where cars kind of have been coming in and out throughout the hour or so that we have been out here this morning. we just saw right before we came on a car, actually pulling in to the lot. it's one of the first cars we've seen pull back into this lot. we've seen a whole lot more pull out of the lot this morning. um and it is still sitting there, a lot of them still up and running today of course. uh, but that crash that happened at 17th

street and mississippi at the intersection was quiet this morning. we were just out there. no sign of that crash this morning. no sign of any sort of police presence. uh, caution tape cones out. really? anything like that? it is a four way stop in that area. according to a statement from waymo, it said a large truck passed through the intersection while this happened. they say a cyclist was also passing through, but was actually hidden by that truck. uh and then because of that, the truck was actually headed in the direction of the car. it was sorry about that. we're having a couple of waymo cars pass through as i'm speaking right now. um, but that truck actually , as i mentioned, hid that cyclist. uh, the truck was headed in the direction of the waymo car. then as the car began to pass through the intersection , when it was the waymo's car turned to go, the cyclist actually crossed into the path of the waymo car at that point, they say it was too late, that

the car could not break fast enough. they did obviously crash into each other. um, they said they did make contact with the police who came to the scene, and that the cyclist was thankfully able to leave under their own power. uh, that cyclist only reported minor scratches. now we have reached out to waymo to see if they are planning to release any sort of dash camera, video or anything that was captured from inside their car. they haven't got back to us yet this morning, but they do say that they are working with necessary agencies to kind of cooperate in this investigation. reporting live in san francisco. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. bailey, thank you. time now 604. and yet another self-driving car company. cruise is trying to find a way to wrap up an investigation of a crash in san francisco, where one of its cars hit a pedestrian. the company offered to pay a bigger fine to the california public utilities commission during

yesterday's hearing, executives for cruise also said they regret the effort to cover up that crash to regulators. back in october. the general motors, which owns cruise, has replaced many of the company's leaders and has indefinitely put testing of the autonomous cars on pause as the preliminary report from the national transportation safety board has been released. >> regarding the failed door on an alaska airlines jet. now it shows all four bolts that are supposed to hold the door plug in place were missing. it's not clear why that was not caught in the manufacturing and inspection process. >> the fact that they have these different reporting structures and sign off requirements, etc, and that they just weren't done, you know, is doubly shocking. it's not that they didn't know what they should do. they knew exactly what they should do, and they just didn't do it. >> nearly all max nine jets operated by united and alaska airlines have been inspected and returned to the flight lines.

the investigation includes the subcontractor that built the door plug and boeing, which installed it. boeing says it is continuing to cooperate with investigators. >> our time is now 605. since the pandemic started, the west contra costa unified school district has struggled to fill vacant positions for school psychologists. now the school district says it used to have an active intern program for school psychology students. but since 2021, a rising number of school employees are leaving because of burnout, and there are fewer new psychologists coming in. and at the same time, many of the longer time professionals are retiring, and that's forcing the staff to do most of their paper work. after the working hours. that's leading to more burnout, and that just perpetuates the cycle. >> police in gilroy are looking for three people who scrawled hate messages on the walls of christopher high school. now, authorities say the intruders broke into the campus monday night and scrawled the graffiti

and ransacked the classrooms. a gilroy school resource officer is working with school administrators and investigating this vandalism as a possible hate crime. >> time is now. 606. the mayor of las vegas said, quote, the oakland a's should stay in oakland and pursue their dream of a waterfront ballpark. mayor carolyn goodman said that after talking about how the a's turned down a bigger stadium location in downtown vegas that was offered and instead decided to use the site of the old tropicana hotel. now, mayor goodman says she's impressed with the loyalty of oakland sports fans who come to her area for what are now las vegas raiders games. and she said a's owner john fisher should listen to the fans who want the a's to stay in oakland. >> i personally think they've got to figure out a way to stay in oakland and make their dream come true, to come here and take down an old hotel and put it right at the heart of this

strip, and more congestion. we have enough congestion right now . >> and mayor goodman says she's excited about the idea of having a major league baseball team in las vegas. but she thinks it should be an expansion team. oakland mayor shang tao has said in the past her door is open to fisher. if he wants to talk again about building a new stadium for the a's as it does look pretty, it would be nice. >> so we've talked about it. what what the? the ballpark did for san francisco in that area. the you know, i was talking to andre about it because you and i saw what that area was like. yeah. before the ballpark, you know. yes. nothing down there now. it's just an amazing thriving area. and to think that could be a ballpark within, you know, a mile of where we are right now. >> walk. we could walk along the water to it. >> it would be amazing. >> i love that, i'd love that. maybe it'll still happen. i don't know, never say never. good morning everyone. let's go

out and see what we have now with the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up to the maze metering lights are on. if you're going over to san francisco, it is a normal commute. i know steve has been saying that the weather may change today, but right now it still looks pretty good and dry. interstate 880 north and south. you can see that traffic is okay and so is the san mateo bridge as you drive to the high rise. so we do see some pretty good traffic. no major issues here on northbound 101. as you come up to the 880 interchange, that whatever was there has been cleared up. so i like that south bay commute so far 609 let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal, a wave of evictions in san rafael is triggering concerns among low income families coming up, the plea for rent control and the response from leaders in marin county. >> and as you can imagine, the super bowl excitement is building up in las vegas as more 49ers fans arrive in las vegas. we'll tell you how some of the long time 49ers players and some of the new stars like that guy, are approaching this big moment

you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.

this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up.

with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. unlv ktvu andre, a senior, joining us with this morning's developments. andre. yes, this is something that's been talked about over the last 24 hours. >> 49ers do not want this issue to dominate the super bowl. so they're trying to make the best

of it and deal with this situation. now. grass installed over the artificial turf at the college practice facility is considered soft, but the team says it will make do and not change their schedule. meantime time. the niners are still two point favorites over the chiefs, who are practicing at the las vegas raiders facility, which has both indoor and outdoor fields. while football analysts say the chiefs have a huge advantage at quarterback, the niners are confident second year pro brock purdy will hold his own against reigning mvp patrick mahomes. >> that's i think, the most special thing about brock. i mean, just that he doesn't have to change much because that's really who he is. i mean, brock is humble of a person as i've ever been around. >> it's been a blessing to, you know, have such a great supporting cast around me. um, obviously the keys weren't just given to me or anything. it had to be earned. and, you know, i've come in in day one just obviously trying to learn. kyle's system, his playbook and earn the respect of my teammates . >> he has earned it, hasn't he? brock purdy says 49ers

quarterback ledger and joe montana and steve young told him he doesn't have to be a superstar. trust the coaches and teammates and then seize the moment, especially among the veteran players. >> you don't know if you're ever going to get this opportunity again, so you absolutely have to take the most advantage of it. >> i know it's plenty more guys that this is probably their first time ever being this far in the playoffs, so i just feel like us as the younger guys, we owe this to them. so while the chiefs will likely miss several injured players, every, 49 are on the active roster expected to be on hand at today's practice. >> one trend will definitely end sunday night. right now, neither the 40 niners nor chiefs have ever lost at allegiant stadium. the chiefs are four and oh, while the niners won their only regular season game at allegiant back in 2022, so only one of the teams will still keep their winning streak alive and win the super bowl. dave. all right andre thank you. >> and we do have coverage from las vegas throughout the super

bowl week. we have joe fonzi and cristina rendon in vegas to show us everything that's happening before the super bowl on sunday. >> all right. it's going to be fun to check in with them. then on friday, we have a fox two sports special, quest for six at 930 in the morning. sunday at 9 a.m, we have the quest for six live in las vegas. and then at noon right before the game, the quest for six count down to kick off. >> all right, we'll be watching time now. 615 the san rafael city council says now's a good time to reexamine legal protections for tenants, especially in the canal neighborhood. people living there asked city council to impose rent control in the area, after almost 20% of residents of an apartment complex were evicted. the property owner says the units need to be repaired and can't be performed while somebody is living there. now, advocates say there is no guarantee the people who are being evicted can come back after those repairs are finished . >> our residents at 400 canal

were recently handed a eviction notice so the landlord could do renovations for health and safety, and the buildings in the neighborhood, as we know, have been neglected for decades. and they do need renovations. but those improvements need to benefit existing tenants, not displace them from their homes, their jobs and their community. >> now, this particular complex has 99 units. since august of 2022, the property owner has requested city permits to renovate 64 of the apartments. so far, 50 of those have been approved, and the novato school district is moving forward with a plan to provide affordable housing for school district employees. >> now, according to the marin ij, the workforce housing committee will begin assessing school district properties for use as affordable housing by the end of this month. the district plans to have a consultant in place to conduct a feasibility study of several of the 33 district properties in novato. >> time now 616. the california hall of fame just inducted ten

new members in a ceremony in sacramento. former san francisco mayor and state assembly speaker willie brown was among the people who were honored and inducted. he was joined by former defense secretary and central coast congressman leon panetta at the purpose of public service is to improve the lives of people. >> and i have to tell you that the greatest reward in public service that i've ever had is, is knowing that you made a difference in the lives of others. >> now, among the other new hall of fame members are chef helene aren, known for her fusion cuisine. vinton cerf, known as the father of the internet. corey brenda wade, film maker. ava duvernay, civil rights leader. thelton henderson, basketball star cheryl miller, and two legendary music groups, the go-go's and los lobos.

>> let me tell you something. the old record factory, which is what used to be in walnut creek and of course tower records. i could get lost in there for hours. >> me too. >> i miss those days. i missed all right. uh, the record factory boy. i'm pulling it out. dave. i'm going deep there. all right. uh, was just up the road from gemco. that's where target is now. all right, that's enough about walnut creek. mount veeder . what about it? it's 34 degrees oakland hills. i did see 39, now 40. and ben lomond mountain is 39. mount diablo is 31. it is cold out there. we had a lot more 30s earlier. now the cloud cover is coming in, so temps are coming up. but vacaville, walnut creek, napa airport are in there in the 30s, santa rosa was petaluma was kelseyville was now . they're in the 40s because cloud cover is coming in and rain is developing. there's been some lightrillionain sweeping in along the san mateo coast, the peninsula, san jose, down to morgan hill, a little bit in the santa cruz mountains. that's just coming in from the northwest. the main system is up

yonder, right there. now, again, this is just light watts right there. that's just light. but the main system is just now moving into mendocino county, and this will be a cold rain if you're heading to the mountains, snow will be around for thousand to 4500ft. 6 to 12. now, i don't make these numbers up. that's what the weather service in sacramento said. so why should i doubt them? 6 to 12 on that. the winter weather advisory goes through tomorrow morning. but look at this. this will be more of a powdery nature. it will not be the sierra cement because this is a darn cold system. and there it is. it'll be with it now we get the lightrillionain early, but most of the morning commute should be okay, except for a very light rain. but now rain and a cold rain arise late morning early afternoon. heaviest amounts being advertised. half moon bay, san jose, morgan hill and no doubt about it, around santa cruz, santa cruz mountains. i think a quarter to a half inch would cover it. so some lightrillionain, mainly south, increasing clouds to the north with lightrillionain developing. and then a cold rain arrives this afternoon. temperatures. i would not be surprised. i'm upper 40s, mendocino county, lake county on high temps with this air mass so cold we'll keep that going into thursday. the

despite being the only major candidate on the state ballot. now, this year, nevada has dueling gop nominee contests. the primary yesterday and then a caucus tomorrow. haley was on the primary ballot. donald trump is taking part in the caucus in 2021. nevada passed a law replacing the caucus with a primary. however the nevada republican party decided to hold a caucus anyway and will give all of its delegates to the caucus winner. now, there was an option on the primary ballot, giving people a chance to vote for none of these candidates. and that option was the winner, according to the latest results, 63% of voters in nevada's primary selected the none of the candidates option 31% voted for nikki haley, donald trump is expected to win the nevada caucuses, which means he will get all 26 of the state's delegates. president biden won the democratic primary election in nevada. he faced very little opposition from about a dozen

candidates. well, donald trump says he will appeal the decision by a federal court that ruled he is not immune from prosecution in his election interference case unless the supreme court intervenes. the appeals court ruling means trump can face trial on charges that he plotted to overturn the 2020 election results. in its ruling, the appeals court wrote, quote, former president trump's alleged efforts to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election were, if proven and unprecedented, assault on the structure of our government at the pittsburgh city council approved a developer's plan to build 206 single family homes instead. of apartments or townhomes, according to the east bay times. the council's vote allows west coast home builders to change its plans for the latest phase of the san marco development, now, the multi-phase development project was approved in 1993 for more than 2900 units, so far, more than 1500 single family homes have been built and 462 multi

family homes. the american lung association says california's clean air programs could save 20,000 lives if they are all put in place and continue through at least 2050. the lung association says california has the worst air pollution challenges in the country, but it also says 11 new laws related to cars and trucks, as well as leaf blowers, cargo ships and trains, have the ability to make major changes in our air pollution levels. association leaders say that is only possible if state officials invest in zero emission transportation and strong enforcement of those new laws. martinez residents are dealing with another refinery flaring the martinez refinery company said all appropriate authorities have been notified after reporting it on social media last night. it also says intermittent flaring may continue while employees work safely to repair any affected equipment. the bay area air quality management district and contra costa health services conducted a surprise visit back

in december after two flaring incidents at the end of last year. new concerns over child welfare reform in santa clara county. the proposed changes to the county's agency after social workers say more needs to be done to protect children who are in unsafe homes, and changes proposed for the us census have been put on hold. we'll tell you how public input helped change the agency's strategy to gather disability statistics

patrol officers. two oakland and taking disaster response to new levels. the state meetings that are underway to determine how i can be used in planning for and responding to flooding and wildfire fires from ktvu fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> all right, as we take you live to the new york stock exchange. the opening bell, san francisco based snap set to drop 33. that's after reporting the sixth straight quarter of slow growth, a drop in sales snap places some of the blame on the conflict in the middle east for the slowdown in business. they just recently announced layoffs. some other companies that posted good quarterly results this morning include uber, also based in san francisco. cvs and roblox have all your business news coming up. thank you for waking

up with us here on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> welcome to wednesday. it's february seventh. little cool outside. yes and steve said it would be it's cold. >> it's a cold system here that's coming in. maybe even some dusting on some of the higher peaks is certainly possible here. but snow level will be down about 4000ft. but for us it will be a cold rain. there's been some light rain moving through to the south and now moving into the north, 40 now in the temps. we had 30s for a bit, but now the cloud cover is coming in. you can see this fast moving little systems along the peninsula. san mateo coast, san jose down to morgan hill. not a lot, but there is a little bit, especially along the coast. that's the main system and it's driving in from the north and that's a that's a cold rain, cold rain and snow. and we are looking for lightrillionain south. increasing clouds, cold cloudy cold rain, light rain already. but the main system arrives late morning early afternoon and highs will be well well below average. all right. here's sal to tell us what a bridge, a freeway. where are we going? >> uh, i was thinking of you, steve. uh, there was a report

of, uh, some guy driving like an idiot. right? uh, chp got wind of it, and now i just heard they pulled the guy over, so sometimes it does happen. where the guy who's driving recklessly gets seen by the police, and then they get pulled over the southbound 680 as you drive towards highway 24. there was an earlier crash on the shoulder from 242 down to walnut creek. there's some slow traffic there. uh, if you are driving on highway four, it's a little slow. 24 is moderate, and at the bay bridge, we have a backup of about ten minutes. 632 let's get back to the headlines. okay sal. >> thank you. well, we're learning more now about governor newsom's plan to send 120 highway patrol officers to oakland to help deal with rising crime. ktvu is ali rasmus has the reaction from community groups, oakland residents and criticism of the mayor. >> the reaction from most of those community groups and residents has been positive. many tell ktvu they like the idea of having extra police in the city of oakland. the local chapter of the naacp said in a

statement, quote, the oakland branch of the naacp thanks governor gavin newsom for responding to calls to address the public safety crisis in oakland. our residents and businesses are suffering with no relief in sight, end quote. back in august, the governor sent six chp officers and a sergeant to help with crime in oakland and now another 120 officers are on their way. a 900% increase. the oakland chapter of the naacp, the unity council and the oakland chamber of commerce all met with governor newsom last month specifically to ask for this kind of help. the groups say they met privately with the governor without any other elected officials present. oakland mayor shengtao told ktvu that she is grateful for the extra police resources from the state, and the chp gave us more details about what those extra officers will be helping with. >> they're also coming from various specialty units. we have canine air operations in investigative services units and task forces. in fact, another big part of this, or a key

component because there's an auto theft component involved, is the alameda county regional auto theft task force. they're going to play a big role. >> i feel it's really needed a lot of us are very nervous walking around, and whereas before we weren't and people are getting hit over and over again, we've said the only way that we're going to get safe is cages and cops. >> and that has just proven not to be true. america incarcerates more people than any other country on the planet. >> that's the perspective from another community group called the anti police terror project. they believe the solution is not more police, but more crime prevention resources and economic opportunities in oakland. now, the chp wouldn't give us a specific timeline for exactly how long these 120 extra officers will be in oakland, but the chp says the program has already, quote, hit the ground running, meaning this deployment of additional officers and resources is already underway in oakland. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news okay, ali, thank you. >> time now. 634. the san

joaquin county sheriff is cracking down on sideshows and deputies there seized 88 cars last weekend from one event. i wouldn't waste your time coming out here or calling about your car, because it's going to sit until a judge or the d.a. tells us to let it go. now, as part of a new zero tolerance policy, deputies are confiscating the cars as evidence of criminal activity, and the sheriff will seek court orders to destroy the vehicles that officials deem danger s you can prove that this car is sole purpose and is being used for sideshows and to create this type of chaos in our community. >> well then that would be a car. i believe a judge and a jury would find that they no longer have the right to own. >> now the sheriff says deputies have already found guns and illegal drugs, and some of those cars. he says it will take time to search and document all of the evidence. santa clara county supervisors may consider a lawsuit to force the release of

show you something here that is really cold air. when you see these speckled clouds, if you get one of those over the temple, drop fast and you could get some brief, heavy rain, maybe some thunderstorms. this i think, will give us some low snow levels to the north, 30s for a few 40s for most. if you're heading to the mountains. winter weather advisory started. snow level will be around 4500ft, but i think drop to 3000 foot is possible. some of the higher elevations. this is a cold system. so again, if you're leaving, go as soon as you can or wait it out because we do have this system arriving here. and i mean temps are going to drop from that system which will be with us today. tonight and into early tomorrow dave. so some light rain, early cloudy skies, a cold system, a cold rain arrives later today into tonight. >> and steve joyce mcdougall just told me it's rainy and cold right now in vegas and there's no shortage of special opportunities in vegas this week leading up to the super bowl. we're going to give you a preview of the great food it will be served in the stadium for the big game, for the fans who are paying thousands of
