says is supported by law enforcement and former public defenders. lowry's six point plan calls for having police and substance abuse experts respond to calls engaging with substance abusers immediately and referring them to drop off crisis centers that can treat them, and an end to the revolving door at hospitals and jails, lurie says. accountability for city services and for nonprofits alike is the path forward. >> i'm the only one in this race actually coming from the outside that has a track record of getting big things done, holding people accountable. >> 800 people die. it's not okay. >> neighborhood groups and nonprofits organized a rally and march from the tenderloin to city hall demanding change. candidate for mayor and district 11 supervisor safai stood with the crowd and said accountability begins at the top. the city, he said, needs to see that the programs already in place are funded and staffed to live up to their potential and providing vital wraparound services. >> if you get someone inside in a supervised area with medical

professionals, job training, medical training, all the other things that they need, but that you can prevent them from dying, you're going to begin to turn this around. >> current mayor london breed was also on hand and said her challengers have come to this fight late. she says her administration has been making progress addressing the crisis and that any red tape needs to be cut to allow the city to agree to take steps to address fentanyl use and overdose deaths . >> i have allocated funds where this program has been around for 30 years, and they were always denied by public. health and not the breed administration, public health, because i made it clear that we are going to support abstinence based solutions. >> we also reached out to the most recent candidate to toss his hat into the ring. former mayor mark farrell, who said, quote, we have tilted too far towards a harm reduction approach that is enabling drug use rather than helping people actually recover from addiction. he's saying as mayor, he would mandate treatment, create sober

living and recovery plans and audit the city's health and welfare budgets. in san francisco, kristin kafton, ktvu, fox two news new at six pga heard from frustrated residents in san francisco today over recurring power outages. >> it's in comprehend and unacceptable and something must be done about this pga really do not care. >> i am sorry i called them. they just say oh, you know this is it. it's a storm. we do. we lose power without a storm. >> san francisco supervisor myrna melgar called the meeting today before the board, after some neighborhoods went without power for more than 48 hours during the recent winter storms. pga says it is working to update and replace aging equipment, but did not provide a timeline. >> and we'll follow up with your office immediately. we're going to need a little bit more detailed information because, um , our our lines go through neighborhoods. so we'll need some very specific addresses that we can then look up and then look up the history and

then from there we can go so we'll rosie will schedule a time with your office in the next week or so. and then from there, we'll let you know how long it's going to take us to collect the data. >> those residents who spoke at the meeting live on the west side of san francisco. they say extended power outages happen all the time, even when there is not a storm. >> governor newsom is now facing the threat of another recall effort. the new campaign, launched by the same group that was involved in getting a recall on the ballot back in 2021, ktvu . political reporter greg lee explains what makes this recall attempt different from the others. it's got enough problems here. >> he was hired to do a job here. he needs to do that job here or he's going to get fired. >> governor gavin newsom is facing another potential recall the second time in three years conservative activist group rescue california said more than 400 proponents have joined the new effort. the group helped collect money and signatures in

2021. >> i don't think we can afford to have three more budgets with this guy. he has two more years. that's what he had the last time we did it. >> the group's campaign director and dunsmore pointed to new estimates of the state's $73 billion budget deficit and argued newsom's involvement in national politics is keeping him from his job here. newsom's a top surrogate for president biden's campaign and is using money from his super pac to target republicans on abortion with out of state ads and governor newsom is an effective spokesperson for democrats to go on the offensive. >> this also serves as a distraction, not a distraction that you can ignore. and that's another other element here, newsom responded quickly to the new recall effort, posting on x trump. >> republicans are launching another wasteful recall campaign to distract us from the existential fight for democracy and reproductive freedom. we will defeat them and express themselves so overwhelmingly by rejecting the division, by rejecting the cynicism, by rejecting so much of the negativity that's defined our politics. in september 2021, voters rejected the recall of

newsom nearly 62% voting against it. the state republican party did not endorse any of the replacement candidates, and when asked about the new effort, wrote this quote, the california gop's attention is on turning out the vote in the primary election and supporting our endorsed candidates who can fix our broken state. the 2021 special election cost the state about $200 million, and newsom raised nearly $75 million to fight it. one way experts say this effort could actually make him stronger. so there are a lot of things that did backfire, fire or had a backlash by the voters in terms of expenses, helped democrats raise money brought up the profile of gavin newsom in order to qualify for the november ballot, recall proponents must gather just under 1.4 million valid signatures by may. greg lee, ktvu, fox two news governor newsom has launched a national ad targeting states with republican controlled legislatures. >> help trump republican ones

perhaps opinion, but it's often based on just what they consider to be worthy of putting in their newspaper. it gets into some very dicey issues when it comes to political speech. >> that's exactly what social media companies want. in fact, 50 years ago, the supreme court ruled that under the constitution, s first amendment newspapers can pick and choose their content, but they have the right to delete things that, in their opinion, violates their terms of service. >> for a variety of reasons. maybe because it's racist or hateful. maybe because it's dangerous. >> technically, in a completely open public forum encouraging suicide, racism, hate spewing lies, fentanyl use or overthrow of the legal government may be allowable, but that doesn't mean that a privately owned company like meta has to carry them. we took the question to the streets of alameda. >> i think fact checking is important, and i think some of the social media companies do that. i also know of a lot of

accounts that have gotten banned for very silly reasons. so i'm not sure more control is the better way to do it. >> yeah, i think there should be rules of the road for social media for anything out there. i see what's going on with these kids and such on online and bullying. well, absolutely. >> there's a social responsibility if you give a platform to be able to spew hate. you're also like encouraging, like the retaliation that comes with it. >> yeah. it's the best thing to do would be to get things. yeah. have a, have a, have an open forum and work out work it through with rules. yes with rules. >> and make no mistake, this is all about politics. all postings true false or fantasy. tom baker , ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. wow what a weekend we had temperatures in the 70s mid 70s in some places. temperatures last couple of days will especially today a little bit cooler by 3 or 4 degrees. so we're into the mid 60s but still quite warm for february. here we

are. and it's going to change as we go into the next few days. temperatures did drop today. they'll continue to drop a degree or two. and then on thursday, friday, saturday they drop significantly as a cold weather system comes our way, you'll hear a lot about it this week because there's not much going on until thursday night and friday. and at that point, the mountains are going to get a bunch of snow, a bunch of snow, like maybe over three days. they could get six. i saw some reports like 8 or 9ft, but that's on the high end i would guess. right. but most, most, most mountain resorts will get four feet of snow over a three day period, which is good, significant snowfall. so it's going to be a major snow maker. but as you know, cold air doesn't hold a lot of water in terms of rain. and so the potential for us to get a lot of rain is not really there. it's going to be a moderate to minor rain event for us over three days inch and a half of rain, which would be fine. but it's not going to be as potentially intense and robust as what's going to happen up in the mountains. so there's the

salesforce tower reflecting the sun as it sets a little a little bit later. this, this, this time of year. the day is getting longer, as you know. and just beautiful. just love that shot. if you're not looking at it right now out on the bay, it almost looks like october. the way the sun angle is right now, which it gets there. the temperatures tomorrow are going to be about the same, but a couple of degrees cooler tonight is going to be cooler because we got a frost advisory in the north bay. not unusual at all. and that'll cover the north bay. but that doesn't mean you won't get frost and say concord or livermore, but frost advisory tonight, probably again tomorrow night for the north bay. i'll see you back here. we'll get on with the models and show you what the future of this next weather system looks like. >> okay. thanks, bill. well, still to come, president biden and former president trump both planned visits to the mexican border on the same day. >> also a big day for both parties tomorrow in the michigan primary. what tomorrow night's results could mean for the general election plus, it's important that we know our history because you might not find these in the history book honoring those who broke

empowered palestinian government that can administer the whole of the occupied palestinian territory is critical as part of a path to achieving the establishment of a fully independent, democratic, contiguous, sovereign and viable palestinian state. but many obstacles remain chief among them tensions rising with hezbollah in lebanon, israeli forces striking deep into lebanon monday, hitting targets that are among the deepest into the bordering country since the israel-hamas war began. >> but they may not leave home. >> we are increasing our firepower and are ready to act against hezbollah everywhere with increasing intensity. >> as tensions increase, talks continue regarding a cease fire and hostage release in gaza, israeli and hamas leaders aren't releasing any details yet, but actions may soon speak louder than words. israeli officials are on the cusp of approving plans to execute at the idf offensive into rafah, on the gaza-egypt border. >> we've been clear that we do not believe that an operation, a major military operation, should proceed in rafah unless there is a clear and executable plan to

protect those civilians, and we have not seen a plan like that. more than 1 million refugee are reportedly seeking shelter in rafah in tel aviv. >> mike tobin, fox news. >> a new report from the faa found glaring flaws in boeing's safety culture. the report found disconnects between senior management and other employees at boeing, with breakdowns in communication. it also noted that boeing had made some improvements since two deadly crashes involving the 737 max eight jets in 2018 and 19. the faa says it will continue to hold boeing to the highest standard of safety and ensure the company comprehensively addresses these recommendations. >> artificial intelligence, or ai, has blasted onto the scene recently, sometimes with concerning results and discussions about federal oversight and regulation. but one silicon valley company has developed an ai platform to help first responders get to where they are needed faster. ktvu south bay reporter mark sayer has a look at that technology.

>> when you need help in an emergency, every second counts. and some of those valuable seconds can be used up when emergency vehicles are delayed in traffic or at intersections. and that's where a.i. comes into the picture. >> so when it comes down to you or me or a loved one having a health problem, we want to have responders there as soon as possible. so how can we learn about daily variations? ai is the greatest choice. tim menard is ceo of a santa clara based company called light, which has developed a cloud based ai system to link regional traffic management centers to the emergency vehicles that use the roadways. here's the fire station. here's where the truck has to go to. here's the traffic . what's the perceived amount of congestion? are there people walking around so that the road gets set up with green lights ahead of time, so that everybody's out of the way? >> this is a demonstration video provided by the company from seattle, where it is already operating. you can see on this map every single traffic signal

along this route turns green. by the time the fire unit reaches the intersection, the system will even adjust in real time. if the fire crew makes a last minute route change. >> one thing where ai is really helpful in is actually the productivity of hey, are there going to be able to go down this primary street? or is there an event and they're going to have to go right, or go left, or use a back alley, right. it's notorious that emergency responders know different ways around the city. so ai in this case here is able to predict where they're going to go so that those lights can be set off. >> the city of san jose is already using the light technology to help route vta busses around the city on busy monterey avenue. while busses only get priority sequencing signals and not immediate signal changeovers, the power of ai to analyze complex traffic patterns is already clear, so the busses now are next in line. >> they're prioritized at every intersection they go through. that's 120 intersections along that full monterey corridor route. it's made them have spend less time at red lights and it's

let them get the green light more often. that improves transit. reliable and service for transit customers. >> the founder of light says its ai models are only collecting raw traffic data and not any personally identifiable information, such as license plate numbers. reporting in san jose i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. new details into the latest layoffs to hit the bay area's tech industry. >> as cisco plans to cut hundreds of jobs, and recognizing the progress made in the ranks of firefighting, east bay firefighters reflect on black history in the fire service

first black firefighters in oakland in 1920 and earl gates, the first black firefighter in san francisco who broke barriers and faced extreme discrimination when he joined sfpd in 1955. >> it's very important for us to recognize our members, people of color, those who are less represented in the fire service, especially african american firefighters, because we have given a great, tremendous debt and contributions to the fire service. >> they also highlighted black history from all over the country, like the charlotte neptunes, a black firefighting brigade in north carolina, and molly williams, the very first female firefighter in the early 1800s, a former slave reminding the kids that they can do anything they set their minds to . >> you are each a chief in the making. >> firefighters were also recognized and gifted. special portraits from oakland artist shomari smith. as part of the presentation in alameda county fire department offers this for black history month for schools all over the country who are

interested in signing up for that webinar. they also say it serves as a recruitment tool exposing kids to a career in the fire service, no matter what their background. i was just going to say, i bet there's a lot of young men and women in that room who will someday. >> indeed be a firefighter. >> absolutely. yeah. it's so important. bristol. see what you can't. you can't be what you can't see. so it's a great event. all right. thanks, crystal. >> all right. we'll send it over to you, bill. >> all right. yeah. a interesting week ahead, you guys. it starts off kind of nice. kind of mild. today we had the mid 60s tomorrow kind of low 60s. and then it changes around. let me show you the long range model and how this thing lays out. and it's really going to be about friday saturday sunday starts thursday night. so here comes you're like you can't really make anything out here. but watch right. see this thing coming down from the north that look where it's coming from. right right off the alaskan plate there. and it's cold. so it gets in here and somewhere on thursday night into friday, it starts snowing up in the mountains and it keeps snowing. and there's a trough. i think you can see the bottom edge of that trough with those lines

that that loop that's a deep trough. and that's going to mean cooler weather for us. low snow elevations, lots of snow for the mountains and for us really rain, but just moderate rain. nothing really out of control. so we'll keep an eye on it. it's got a long way to go, but i think i showed you this earlier in the five. but look at some of the forecast numbers for almost 100in of between thursday, friday, saturday at kirkwood. so you're coming up on six feet of snow. so it's going to be a major snow producer. they're going to have most likely i don't know how they keep 50 and 80 open on friday with that, especially on friday because of the winds, um, blizzard conditions. so we'll keep an eye on it for you. but it's we have we seen storms that strong? you bet we have. but we haven't had one this year. and so this is going to be our biggest snow event of the year, certainly in the mountains and for us because it's a cooler storm, lower temperatures, less water, rainfall accumulation and significantly less than what we were seeing. so not anticipating any hydro problems gets cool. tonight we got a frosted

advisory in the north bay. probably see one again on tuesday morning. these are the forecast. overnight lows don't need freezing to get frost, which we know just it's about the surface and how much moisture is in the air. so the surface is like windshields. cool. really quickly. and so windshields that's why you get frost on your windshield because it cools fast. it gets down very cold. so here is the current situation here was that chance of a few showers today didn't really happen, at least in my house. i didn't get any reports of scattered showers, but i see some radar returns here, potentially in south of down by santa cruz mountains, southern california. got a little bit of rain. so as it lays out for us next couple of days, pretty nice frost advisory in the north bay. you could easily see frost at your house tomorrow morning in the next couple of mornings. and then the model does this tomorrow morning. valley fog on the east side of the valley, that white area. and then tuesday afternoon. so wow, tomorrow's going to be money right. and then wednesday morning looks good. wednesday afternoon looks pretty good too. and then it's thursday when the clouds start to come in. and

then thursday evening that moves in that system. the cooler air, the snow starts in the mountains and it's on. here is the five day forecast. and you can see it really does kind of become all about for us friday, thursday night, friday, saturday and sunday a little bit. but the mountains it's going to be going off you guys. yeah. >> busy week ahead. thanks bill. golden state warriors will be getting some much needed help for steph curry and company jason sports next the economy is simply not working for millions of hard working families. they're working harder than ever and they still can't make enough to get by to afford food and medicine to even keep a roof over their heads. we need to build more housing that's truly affordable. we need to address this terrible epidemic of homelessness. we need to invest in good paying jobs, union jobs and investments in our future. this, this is why i'm running for the us senate. i'm adam schiff and i approve this message.

and i appreciate it so much. you guys are the best. appreciate it . >> when brandon crawford said goodbye to giants fans in last year's season finale, there was some hope that he might return to san francisco for a 14th season. the free agent. but that is not going to happen. good evening everybody. arguably the greatest shortstop in giants history is now a member of the saint louis cardinals. the 37 year old crawford, pending a physical, will join the cardinals, where he is expected to serve as a backup to rookie shortstop mason winn. crawford previously spent his entire 13

year big league career with the giants, where he was a three time all star, four time gold glover and was instrumental in helping the giants win their last two world series titles in 2012 and 2014. crawford was a homegrown ballplayer through and through. born in mountain view, grew up in pleasanton, where he starred at foothill high. he was drafted by the giants in 2008 and called up to the majors the year after. the giants won their first world series in 2010, and you figured crawford might be special right from the get go. his first big league hit was a grand slam. he would hit 145 more home runs and make countless eye popping plays with his glove over his stellar giants career. all right, cactus league game number three for bob melvin and the giants hosting the angels in scottsdale. bottom third seven nothing. angels jorge soler making his giants debut, singled in his first at bat and then slaps that r.b.i. single up the middle in his

second at bat. but the giants still trailed 7 to 1, but they cut it to seven three bases loaded for rookie shortstop tyler fitzgerald. and yeah, that one's over the wall. grand slam home run for fitzgerald tied at seven. however the angels respond with four runs not shown here in the seventh to win it. 11 to 9 a's hosting the diamondbacks in nearby mesa. tied at eight bottom of the ninth, drew lug bauer sends everyone home with the walk off home run. trust us, judging by everyone's reaction, the ball did indeed go over the fence. the one camera shoot in mesa a's win 9 to 8 to get themselves their first cactus league win. last night's loss notwithstanding, the warriors they've been playing a better basketball lately and they're finally fully healthy too. after missing the last 21 games, chris paul he's set to return tomorrow in washington. open against the

wizards. he's been out since january 5th with a fractured left hand that required surgery. the 38 year old, he's going to come off the bench and according to steve kerr he's going to get all the non staff minutes and then some with steph on the court as well. he's averaging. 9.7 assists in this. his. 19th nba season in. >> he's such a connector and a floor general. and a guy that gets everybody in the right spot. so whether it's when i'm on the bench or the rotations where we're on the court at the same time, hopefully uh elevate us to another, you know, to another level. okay >> we learned thursday before the super bowl that 49ers linebacker patrick willis was elected to the pro football hall of fame. here's how willis found out the news. >> oh, man. that's great. oh, man. pee willie oh, man. willis.

oh man. welcome to the pro football hall of fame class of 2024. all right man, congratulations. >> that's class of 2022. hall of famer bryant young delivering the news to an emotional willis. that's his sister anika. there uh, in just eight seasons willis made his mark as one of the all time great linebacker bears. certainly one of the best in 40 niners history. and what a bear hug from bryant young clip to see. yeah. when he comes to your door and opens it with that gold jacket on. that's pretty cool. very cool. >> it's emotional very sweet. yeah. >> no it's really, really cool to see. i've never seen that. so that just came out today. >> all right. thanks for watching everybody. west coast wrap alex avage co "overflowing with ideas and energy." that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate."
