has to understand that of course we are choosing to stand with the west, but we are our own country. there is only one thing we want from putin. get off from us. this is the one thing he can't let go. tim: the resounding message, no one wants more or conflict with russia. but all the ukrainians we spoke to say that their family and friends at home will not go down without a fight. they plan to defend their country and stick up for their values tim johns, live outside san francisco, abc 7 news. dan: thanks very much, tim. dozens of people gathered for a rally at stanford university this afternoon. students, faculty and visiting scholars talked about what it was like growing up with threats from russia. any of them have family members 83 and right now, and some of them fear for their lives. kai: it is a moment for everyone in the world to ask themselves,

it became independent in 1991 when the soviet union dissolved. it shares borders with russia, belarus, poland, slovakia, hungary, and moldova, countries with former ties to the ussr this border is along the black sea, the site of the war in donbass led by russian backed separatists, which led to the annexation of crimea by russia in 2014. karina nova, abc 7 news. ama: house speaker nessie pelosi speaker pelosi weighed in on the situation in the ukraine while in the bay area today. our reporter is in the newsroom to continue our team coverage. pelosi did not mince words. reporter: i was able to fit in some questions to the speaker today, and she made it very clear that she is in full support of exhausting all diplomatic options with russia, saying that sanctions are the way to right now. threp. pelosi: i don't

do a lot of trade with them. certainly russia is a major exporter of oil. the effect on energy prices could ripple through the economy since virtually everybody uses energy. reporter: globally, oil prices have gone to $105 a barrel, the highest since 2014. locally, we have seen prices at the pump at the highest they have ever been. earlier today, sky seven showing drivers in the area filling up at select costco, taking advantage of lower prices. i asked him how else the conflict could impact our daily lives. groceries, should we be bracing ourselves for those things to go up? >> we have to be prepared for probably moderate increases in energy costs, and that will trickle down to other areas. it is not a situation where we have to be bracing ourselves for large impact. reporter: aside from gas prices short-term impacts include today's initial stock market drop. he says investors can only guess what will happen, and for now,

raking involving a power saw. in this case the suspects used something very unique to cover up their crimes. they used a black lives matter banner to cover up their misdeeds, even moving the banner around when someone passes by. this shop lost $5,000 in cigarettes. >> so frustrating, because they are so daring to do these things, because they know the punishment is nothing compared to the loot they will walk out with. dion: well his insurance will not replace his emergency cash, which he was hoping to give part of to his only daughter, that's my kind of customers. [laughter] dion: he hopes those in power are watching. >> no one is doing anything about it. we have to worry every night when going home. . this is not the san francisco that we know. i have been here 30 years. dion: in san francisco, dion lim, abc 7 news.

ama: education is a key part of building a better bay area. concerns are growing over the huge budget deficit. board members are set to vote on teachers and staff layoffs. reporter lyanne melendez shows you what this means for families. reporter: next tuesday, the school board will vote to send out the first playoff notices to teachers and staff at san francisco unified. by law they must be unified on or before march 15. still, getting that first notice doesn't necessarily mean they will automatically lose their jobs --, between march and made some teachers might retire or leave for another job. >> our hope is that the number

that is receiving those initial layoffs on march 15, that will be a lot smaller by may. lyanne: the district says layoffs are necessary because of its projected $125 million budget deficit for the next academic year, and deficit triggered by declining enrollment. there are 3500 fewer students today in san francisco public schools than there were prior to the pandemic. pension and health care costs have also increased. right now the district plans on sending notifications to 188 credentialed and classified teachers. >> it is just very, very easy to feel like there is no future in education. lyanne: some administrative and managerial additions will also have to be cut. claudia remembers getting a layoff notification more than 10 years ago. >> the last time, i remember that gavin newsom was mayor, and

he tapped into the rainy day fund. lyanne: as mayor of san francisco, newsom saved teachers from the careers of layoffs in 2009 and 2010, after releasing billions from the city's rainy day fund. for now the city cannot determine if there will be any other sources of revenue. what they do know is that some classrooms need to be restructured. >> there are some schools where classes are at capacity, and other schools where they are at half capacity. what we need to do is balance that out. lyanne: in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. dan: you have heard a great deal about climate change and sea level rise. tonight we are going to explain how that would affect the bay area specifically. plus, warmer temperatures on theway after the cold spell , sandhya

dan: our climate and environment influence how we are able to build a better bay area. part of the difficulty of running for the effects of climate change is factoring in the unknowns. abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco looks at the phenomenon that could accelerate the threat from sea level rise.

mike: the newest projections may seem concerning enough. a study released earlier this month by nasa and the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, warning that coastal sea levels could rise as much as a foot over the next three decades, potentially becoming a dangerous force-multiplier for our coast. >> you will have this natural stuff occurring, so tides, the nina, all things will happen, it will just be much more of a problem. mike: they are researchers with the nasa jet propulsion laboratory pasadena. they say, where the recent report confirms much of what we have known about the short-term, it also highlighted a long-term threat linked to something we don't fully understand -- the impact of melting glaciers. >> the ice sheets are the wildcards in terms of how much sea level rise will get. greenland alone has enough ice to raise sea levels by 25 feet if it augmented today.

antarctica has 10 times that. mike: willis has been measuring northern glacial melt as of a project known as om smelting greenland. 's team is trying to learn more about how warming waters are melting the glaciers from underneath. >> we are watching these things melt for the first time in human history, so we don't really know how fast they can melt, and that is what determines how fast sea level can rise. mike: recently, much of the claimant world's attention has focused on antarctica and this glacier. roughly the size of florida, it has also been dubbed "the doomsday glacier," over predictions that huge amounts could crack when an unknown number of years, turning current sea modeling on its head. >> the antarctica ice sheet, that is what has caused the shift. there is this uncertainty.
