that to the city hall area. when it comes to their demands, we've talked about it over the past week, really over the past few weeks, teachers want better wages, saying the classroom sizes are too small for the students and want more counselors, a few of the commands they're looking for. oakland unified school district is offering teachers an 8% raise over a three-year period up from 5%. the 5% it offered just months ago but teachers have maintained their demand of a 12% raise over that same three-year period. just last night after all the protests we saw during the day, a crowd showed up to kaiser elementary, where the district superintendent talked about yet another round of campus consolidations to deal with the district's ongoing budget deficit. she didn't address the ongoing teacher strike, which left folks now surprisingly in that crowd not too pleased. oakland unified school district simply says the money isn't there and changes need to take place. >> it's a fact-finding committee, indicated to the teachers that we don't have a

lot of money. we are in a situation where we are already cutting money going into next year's budget, before we factor in any kind of raises for anybody. >> strikes are won in the streets, not at the bargaining table. so we need strong lines like we had today. >> reporter: i want to remind folks schools will remain open in the oakland unified school district. they have the option of taking their kids to solidarity sites which offer day care, some education and even lunch. negotiations will be continuing today but we expect to get an update from the teachers union here at 7:30 a.m. we're live in oakland, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> difficult time for not only for the teachers but for families, too, trying to do the right thing by those teachers. thank you, pete. as the strike continues, we've also broke whan bon what sides are asking for and you can find photos from the picket

smeared, admitting what he did. >> so far, smollett faces a felony charge for filing a false police report. in just a few hours, the two men charged in oakland's deadly grosseship warehouse fire are due back in court, derek almena and max harris face 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of those folks in the december 2016 fire. this morning, a hearing will be held on the use of that evidence. both almena and harris are set to go on trial in april. >> it is 5:36. for a second day the hierarchy of the catholic church is gathering at the vatican. leaders were called there by pope francis to deal with decades of sexual abuse and coverup by members of the clergy. nbc bay area's jay gray live in rome with a closer look at what is happening today. jay? >> reporter: hey there, laura. a change today for the first time since the summit began, a survivor behind the walls of the vatican and spending time with the catholic church leaders called here by the pope, talking

with them, praying with them. survivors, you talk to them in rome say they're anxious to share their stories with the hopes that it's going to bring dramatic change to their church. as leaders of the catholic faith gather for day two of their historic summit, their focus here now shifts to accountability. >> our lack of response to the suffering of victims, even to the point of rejecting them and covering up the scandal to protect perpetrators and the institution has injured our people. >> reporter: injuries that linger for survivors. >> i struggle. i struggle a lot with it. i really do. >> reporter: a part of that struggle, the lack of outside help in cases of abuse. >> these are heinous crimes, and they should be handled and investigated by career law enforcement agents, not church officials who are appointed by the bishop. >> reporter: it's an issue that seems to be gaining traction

with some here. >> it is important that every allegation is investigated, with the help of experts, and that the investigation is concluded without unnecessary delay. >> reporter: but the delays in dealing with the crisis for some have lasted more than three decades, testing their faith and leaving them cautious, as these meetings continue. >> we like to give people the benefit of the doubt, that their heart's in the right place. we just haven't seen any evidence of that yet. >> reporter: that lack of confidence, one of the ynz church leaders have gathered here. and many of those leaders stressing that restoring that faith with parishioners is one of the main goals here, and really tied to the future of their faith, laura. they really understand, i believe, that they expect to have some definite progress coming out of this meeting, not just talk. >> well, exactly, it will be

interesting to see the progress and what will actually be told to parishioners come sunday. >> yes. >> what are survivors and other catholics saying it will take to regain that trust? >> reporter: i think the thing you hear over and over is transparency, and full public disclosure. a lot of people saying we want to know which priests have abused, where they are right now, and what's being done about it. they want bishops involved in coverups to be removed as well, and that's the kind of action i think a lot of people are looking for, and right now, there's been no definitive answer on that from this summit or from the pope. >> jay gray, live from vatican city this morning. here in the bay area, certainly bishops have taken a step to reveal some of those clergy members that have been involved in the sexual abuse scandal. our investigative unit as well uncovered stories of abuse by

some mid-50s for the high tomorrow, for the coastal areas, and some upper 50s inland. and then as we go into sunday, our rain chances will return but mostly for the north bay, as we track our next storm system coming in. there's a splash and dash going on, on saturday, the freezing plunge, that's happening tomorrow morning at aquatic park and look at how cold it is as you splash and dash, upper 40s and the black joy parade will be happening on sunday, this will be a great event with some sunshine, a mix of sun and clouds and highs reaching into the mid-50s, but we will have to watch out for some rain chances going into the evening. if you're planning to head to the sierra, heavenly is looking nice, and still some pretty good travel conditions, especially today. by sunday, we will see more clouds moving in, and the potential of some rain moving through the sierra. we could also start to see some of the showers moving in to russian river valley, some of the areas to our north will see that rain before the rest of us see it in the bay area.

i'll talk more about that coming up in the forecast, in about three minutes. >> sounds good, thanks, kari. it's 5:42, coming up, we're not done with weather just yet. look at the snow in malibu. >> what? >> coming up next, where else snow is falling in southern california. and how much would you pay for this old school michael jordan trading card? it's more than 20 years old. we'll show you what someone paid for it, you might guess, it is a lot. you're watching "today in the bay."

and voting rights. it was a thrilling game last night in oakland for the warriors. there was also a little bit of comic relief from warriors coach don nelson. >> nelly, who now lives in hawaii was back at oracle and asked what he does now that he's retired. >> i've been smoking some pot, actually. >> it's legal now. >> yes, but i never smoked when i played or coached. >> all right, so notice the haircut, along with jason riffardson and stephen jackson, they were honored, the we believe warriors team last night. a sale of a rare trading card, one of ten ever made, it is a metal card showing michael jordan from 1997, and get this, it sold this week for $350,000 on ebay. this is one of the highest prices ever for a basketball card but it's far from the most expensive sports trading card

ever. baseball card from 1909 sold for $3 million back in 2016. i think it was wagner. >> it's michael jordan, i think it's worth every penny. he's awesome. in southern california, a rare sight this morning, believe it or not, there is snow. >> "today in the bay's" kira klapper joins us with a look at brand new video. >> some of the coldest air in years entered the region. social media lit up with a mixture of excitement and shock, as the snowflakes and hail fell. check out this video from the santa mondica mountains posted y the air operations section, in malibu, several people shared videos of the snow coming down. it fell in the santa monica mountains yesterday. you can really see the wind blowing there. weird to see the ocean with the snow. large white chunks were coming down across the hillside, snow cause aid closure of the high

with a there that connects north los angeles to the central valley for a short time, and in an abundance of caution, the big bear school district closed school yesterday. >> come on! >> actor jerry o'connell posted this report. >> look at this, look. snow! snow! not hail. >> reporting live. and all the snow turned joshua tree national park, this is out east of palm springs, into a winter wonderland. park rangers posted this video to their instagram. snow also fell in snan diego. this is near mt. laguna, 30 miles east of the city. more than a foot of snow fell at higher elevations. i think this sun heard of. i thought this was unheard of. >> it's been years. >> but yes, the statistics some of the areas saw snow in 2015 which i'm like i guess was only four years ago. >> cold storms coming through and we saw it in the desert in

las vegas as well. >> yes, so you see climate change in action, right? so we are going to have still some very unusual weather here over the next few days, as we are waking up to temperatures in some spots below freezing. ukiah at 28 degrees. santa rosa it is 33, and some low 40s for some of our inland areas. as you get ready to head out the door, going to the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station, oakland is going to see temperatures right at about 40 degrees at 7:00, and then rising into the low 50s today, we will still have that shun shin sunshine. as you get dressed you need the layers and with the chilly temperatures, you'll probably need your coat throughout the day, with our highs reaching into the low 50s. we have a little while longer of some dry weather as we are still seeing the dry conditions here, but the clouds starting to reach farther to the north, as we get ready for another storm system to move in. and this will tap into some subtropical moisture, enhance the rainfall. we know that as the pineapple

express, but it will not initially be targeted for the bay area. this will be farther to the north, so ukiah to eureka will get in on the heavier rain starting on sunday, we will see some spotty showers especially for the north bay by sunday afternoon, and then it takes a while before this system starts to make its trek farther to the south, and the bay area gets in on some rain. we could start to see the showers moving in here for the most part on tuesday into wednesday, with the possibility of getting some rainfall totals at about a half of an inch south of the golden gate bridge and much higher amounts farther to the north. that's something we'll be watching because a slight jog in the atmospheric river could drastically change our forecast, but it will be warmer for this next storm coming in, so our temperatures headed into the 60s for the middle of next week. and mike, you're getting some more traffic out there. >> a little bit. in fact, we just missed the burst of traffic that came through san jose, so here is 101 just north of 680 and it's clear again. you see a little bit of yellow right here on 101 on the speed

sensors. it's green pretty much everywhere on your commute, it's 5:51, almost 5:52 on a friday. we have another crash, a series of smaller crashes in the altamont, west 580, moving typically slow until you get to about grant line and everything is just fine. we have another crash reported near the caldecott. chp is headed out there but it does not sound like it's affecting any of the bores, either of the westbound bores, they look like they're moving smoothly. the bay bridge toll plaza has your metering lights on, with slowing up the incline recovery, after the earlier disabled vehicle was cleared over toward the san francisco side. richmond-san rafael bridge is moving smoothly, lighter traffic flow there and up until a couple minutes ago, the crew just cleared from the westbound direction, so all lanes are cleared and so has that true there on the weekend. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 5:52 now, and happening now, a breakout of chicken pox and mumps is forcing a quarantine at a colorado i.c.e. center.

261 people were quarantined after two people were infected and contracted eed chicken pox mumps last month. they are giving everyone vac nates out of an abundance of caution. hola, harry potter, a popular audio service to include spanish service. plus a warning for for families considering in vitro fertilization. advice from doctors before you consider less expensive alternatives.

families. >> exactly. >> especially road trips. family planning takes a lot of different shapes and the journey to pursue in vitro fertilization is often one that starts with heartbreak. >> some couples considering in vitro are pursuing treatment internationally where sometimes it's less expensive. here in the u.s. the price tag can leave many couples bankrupt. couples spend tens of thousands of dollars to create embryos, have the procedure and of course all the medications that go with it as well. experts point out there are payment plans for families who want ivf here in america, but here is a doctor with a warning before you go abroad. >> you get what you pay for in terms of outdated technology, much lower ivf success rates and sometimes concerns about safety. >> he also warns the cheaper the price tag, the lesser the chance of success. 5:57 right now. clearly one in a quarter million dollars over three years, that's how much money a major tech

company recently paid a silicon valley city. >> it covers two city employees that work in a department that has that company. investigative reporter liz wagner has been looking into an arrangement that's raising some eyebrows. >> we learned the tech titan's money is funding the cost of a traffic engineer and transportation manager in a growing south bay city. now we investigate, does this deal pose a conflict of interest? we showed the funding agreement to a government ethicist at santa clara university. she points out the corporation has business before this city and says even if it's not the intended effect, the arrangement gives the appearance that the company may be trying to buy influence with local officials. >> in situations where the gift is designed specifically to pay for somebody's salary, how is that going to affect the employee whose salary is being

paid for? can you serve two masters? >> the contract says the corporation won't get special treatment or front of the line pass, but coming up tonight, we'll show you the division that received the money, the transportation and traffic decision, is making decisions about whether this company is doing enough to reduce traffic and we'll show you which tech giant and city we're talking about. that's tonight at 11:00 on "nbc bay area news." right now at 6:00, talking justice. >> i took more than my share of criticism. brand new comments from rod rosenstein overnight about his future with the justice department as washington, d.c., braces for the mueller report. and car theft concerns in several east bay cities. the search for suspects who seem to be targeting contra costa county. and recommendation pulled, big blow for tesla this morning.

>> and i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for marcus washington today. it's nice to be here on this friday. >> yes, finally made it to friday. now just got to make it through. the weather is cooperating. >> the weather is cooperating for a while longer. we're starting out with chilly temperatures and we are going to see that cool air with us, as the sun rises, a lot of upper 30s across the bay area. this is a live look outside in palo alto, as you get ready for your drive, or walk or ride to school, it's going to be in the upper 30s through about 7:00. mostly sunny skies and looking at a nice day. we'll talk about what's ahead for the weekend in a few minutes. mike gets us out there on the roads headed toward the bay bridge. >> and the toll plaza with a couple other people behind me. we have the metering lights on and we now have all the lanes basically in their crawl mode. this is the reason why you want to carpool across the bay bridge from oakland in toward san francisco, but really, it's only at the toll plaza that's the issue. everything else clears, even the span itself, there was an earlier stall and they might have slowed the metering lights down to
