view of the forecast as we head toward next weekend with the 49ers game in mind next saturday. that is coming up at about 7:50. >> we're looking forward to that. we'll see you in about 20 minutes, rob, thanks. breaking news moments ago that came down. iraq's parliament has voted to expel the u.s. military from the country. this is what the associated press is reporting. lawmakers voted in tafr -- in favor of the resolution for ending foreign military presence in the country. this is as the u.s. is looking to send about 3,000 more troops to the area. tensions remain high between the u.s. and iran. we are tracking several new developments including an oeft -- an overnight attack at a kenyan airfield where they provide support to east african troops. they were able to repel the

attack. al shabaab has claimed the attack. no deaths have been reported in that attack. meanwhile, hundreds of protests took place across the country yesterday condemning the killing of iran's top general. overseas thousands of mourners in baghdad chanted "death to america" during a funeral procession for the general and a shiite militia leader killed on friday. iran continues to promise harsh retaliation for those attacks. president trump though is saying he doesn't see the strike as an act of war. he did tweet that if iran retaliates it will face u.s. attacks on 52 targets, that number 52 coincides with the number of american hostages held by iran back in 1979. the u.n. security council suggests that trump's threat includes targeting cultural heritage sites which would be considered a war crime. and as mentioned, tens of thousands of people across the country protested the president's deadly air strike

yesterday. some of the biggest marches happened in new york and d.c. but here in the bay area thousands of people took to the streets in downtown san francisco and our "today in the bay's" thom jensen was there. >> reporter: the message is clear from protesters who march through the streets of san francisco. some of them with strong ties to iran and the middle east, now dreading the thought of what could come next. >> there is so much -- so much uncertainty. so much -- so much to be worried about. >> reporter: sentiments echoed by this bay area law student born in the united states with also citizenship in iran. >> i think that suleimani was acing in an official state capacity. >> reporter: he worries the assassination of general quasem suleimani will lead to war in iran where he has numerous family members and friends. >> i'm hopeful that the iranian regime takes a step back and

decides that retaliation is not the correct answer. >> reporter: but he is not optimistic saying the president put iranian leaders in a box where they could retaliate and face war or do nothing and appear weak. bay area democrats asking questions about whether president trump fully considered the consequences for the air strikes and assassination. >> the question i think is not whether this was justified but whether it was a wise move to take. >> i think american people share the same fears. nobody wants an escalation of another conflict that could lead to another quagmire like what occurred in iraq and afghanistan. >> reporter: thom jensen, nbc bay area news. and hundreds of people also gathered outside of san jose city hall voicing their opposition to a potential war with iran. the rally drew several like-minded anti-war groups like

code pink, raging grannys or veterans for peace and people who told us they simply felt they had to act. be sure to stay with nbc bay area for the very latest on the story developing by the hour. we will continue to have updates on air and online at nbcbayarea.com. also on our free nbc bay area app. now to one east bay city plagued by wild pigs for months. it is finally gaining? ground. people in lafayette are making progress thanks to a trapper. the trapper has removed 19 pigs from parks and trails and enough for the city to reopen the north end of lafayette community park. the wild animals destroyed the soccer fields in october before they moved on to an elementary school, on to other parks and aneighborhoods leaving no lawn untouched. contra costa count public libraries still dealing with the aftermath of a ransom ware attack.

on friday hackers got into the library system and shut it down. the library is working with the district attorney to figure out how the hackers got in. so far the affected servers have been taken offline to prevent the virus from spreading. the county library are open as regularly scheduled. you could still borrow and return books, the only thing you can't do is print. we're told there is no evidence that the hackers got ahold of any personal information. nearly two months after the kincade fire, the north bay is still dealing with problems. while the fire burned back in october, a wastewater disposal pipeline in santa rosa was disabled and that caused a major back-up in the sebastopol area. we're told that back-up was 400 million gallons of wastewater and now city leaders say that the storage ponds will reach capacity next month. once that happens, the city will have to release the treated sewage into the nearby lagoona de santa rosa.

if they do that, customers will have to help cover around $400,000 in environmental charges. now to australia where wildfires continue to ravage. this morning flames have scorched more than 12 million acres, destroyed 1500 homes. the death toll is at 23. and likely millions of animals. smoke from the fires is -- is visible from space. we have an image of the wildfires around sydney taking from the international space station. light rain and cooler temperatures in the southeast of australia were a welcome change from the searing heat that has fueled the fires. officials are warning that the rain was not enough to put out the almost 200 fires still burning. >> we charged what we could and the houses that were defendable and we just had to treat it as triage, pick your battles and go

in. and hope that you win that one. we didn't win them all. but we had some good wins. >> a team of u.s. firefighters from california and other western states are are headed to australia. the group of about to firefighters boarded a flight at sfo bound for new south wales to be there for a 30-day assignment. another 81 leave from l.a. tomorrow. and celebrities are stepping up to help with the fire threat. nicole kidman and eej urban donated $500,000 to services. fires hit close to hem. they own a home near the fire area. pink also is donated 500,0$500,o firefighters. she wrote in an instagram post, my heart goes out to our friends and family in aus. the singer shared a list of places that people could donate to help fight the fires. 7:39, still ahead on "today

in the bay," larry gerston joins us live in the studio to discuss the rising tensions with iran in the wake of the u.s. air strike that killed iranian general quasem suleimani, pardon me. but first the new england patriots lost a home playoff gamer for the first time since 2012. the question now, was that san mateo nave it tom brady's last game with new england. anthony flores is next with sports. served all day, so they're not just for early birds. great cause i was out raging last night. (snores) get my 2 for $4 breakfast jack deal while you can.

egg and your choice of sausage, jacks or now chicken,cracked are just 4 bucks. served all day, so they're not just for early birds. nice cause i was spinning till like 4 am. (snores) get my 2 for $4 breakfast jack deal while you can. good morning. the warriors are still winless in the you new year. dropping the fifth in the row against the pistons. look who is in the house at chase center, all pro tight end george kittle. green mocked the ref and gets another technical and that means he is, yeah, tossed from the game. now the warriors will close the period on 11-2 run and dirks with the three to make it a

one-point ball game and he 27 but the pistons pull away down the stretch. the warriors have lost five in a row. your final 111-104. robert salah was doing his best to impress. the 49ers defensive coordinator is the fourth candidate to interview for a job and kyle shanahan was once in cleveland and he is in the third year with the niners. this year he's guided san francisco to the number two ranked defense in the nfl. the 49ers had a light week of practice after the top seed and earning a first round bye. remember, their bye week come back in week four and that was three months ago and so they are watching the wild card playoffs and are they scouting or just being football fans. >> it is not hard to not watch

football and scout guys. i watch tight ends because i like watching how they work against other teams. i'm looking forward to it. >> definitely scouting the competition. on both nfc and afc because you don't know who you will face in the long run. so just i'm a fan a little bit but more as a competition. >> the 49ers will host either the vikings, seahawks or eagles. we'll find out later today. we do know the game is on nbc bay area. kickoff is saturday january 11th at 1:35 testimonp.m. and we'll have pre-game and post-game. and tom brady and the patriots down a point and needing a miracle against the titans. they don't get it it it. brady throws a pick six. tennessee beats new england 20-13. after the game, the 42-year-old's pride of san mateo

said he's not sure if this is the last game as the patriots quarterback. to the ice. sharks in columbus for a game starting at 10:00 a.m. pacific time. tied at 1-1. on three on two, kane with the go ahead goal to make it 2-1 sharks. but late in the third, the sharks make it look easy with the goal and skate by the blue jackets 3-2 the final. that is a look at your morning sports. i'm anthony flores, have a great sunday. >> announcer: time and temperature on nbc bay area is sponsored by mancini sleep world. when we were looking for a roommate, he wanted someone super quiet. yeah, and he wanted someone to help out with chores. so, we got jean-pierre. but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with renters insurance. ♪

yeah, geico did make it easy to switch and save. ♪ oh no. there's a wall there now. that's too bad. visit geico.com and see how easy saving on renters insurance can be. trumpand total disaster.mplete let obamacare implode. nurse: these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. i've been a nurse in new york for thirty years. i know the difference leadership can make because i saw what mike bloomberg did as mayor. vo: mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40%, covering 700,000 more new yorkers, life expectancy increased. he helped expand health coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care--- infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. and as mayor, mike bloomberg

always championed reproductive health for women. so when you hear mike bloomberg on health care... mrb: this is america. we can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. nurse: you should know, he did it as mayor, he'll get it done as president. mrb: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. welcome back. last thursday president trump's assassination order of iranian general quasem suleimani created potential fallout not only in the united states and iran but across the middle east and the world. political analysis larry gerston joins us to break down the changing dynamics of international relations really. first, if you can, explain how we even got here. >> that is a good question.

the short answer, kira, is that the answer goes back about three weeks. with that series of events including -- you may remember, the iranian murder of a u.s. contractor in u.s. and iranian backed terrorists in syria and the attempt of the iraqis to seize the u.s. embassy in baghdad all of this culminated with the murder of quasem suleimani. the iran middle east architect of terrorism. but the long answer, get ready for this, the long answer consists of a contentious 75-year relationship between the u.s. and iran. including u.s. involvement in the replacing a elected prime minister with the shaw of iran and occupation of the embassy in tehran for more than a year, 1970 and 1980 and support of iraq in a decades-long war with iran in skirmishes between prom

i -- proxies in the last 30 years and president trump pulled the united states out of a nuclear agreement with iran, much to the dismay of the iranian and european partners. so taking a breath. there is a long history of bad blood between these two nations. >> interesting to point out what happened just three weeks ago. general suleimani was considered the second most powerful leader in iran. only eclipsed by ayatollah khamenei. given the standing, what is the significance in the assassination order? >> that depends on how you look at the event. president trump contends that he ordered suleimani's murder as an attempt to avoid war. the iranian view the murder as a direct assault on their neighborhood and promise revenge in the near future. but regardless the united states and iran are now in this terrible tit-for-tat pattern

that suggests an escalated cost to counter the other nation's previous move. we know one with fact for sure, that both republican president george w. bush and democratic president barack obama refused to go after suleimani. he's a bad guy. but they refused to go after him because of concerns that his assassination would lead to a major war. that is the precipice we stand on today. >> right. and iranians now are promising retaliation. do you think we should all but expect it at this point. >> given the pattern to day, yeah. the question is not whether iran will act, but where, when and at what cost. it is important to remember, now, that the united states has 80,000 troops and dozens of military facilities throughout the middle east. and for that matter the iranian could choose cyber attack on american infrastructure to blowing up saudi airfields to

attacking americas 300 embassies and consulates around the world. we don't know where or when, but you could be sure of one thing, the iranian will ask with stronger force with before and the next question will be what will the united states do after that. >> a very scary thought. we do have a presidential election in just ten months. hard to believe. what do you think this string of events or how do you think they'll affect the campaign? >> differently. for the republicans, it will be stay the course. stay the course. historically the republican party has promoted an american military presence around the world as critical to american defense. until now president trump has argued forcefully that american troops and involvement should be removed from the global stage. but on this issue trump has adopted a more traditional republican position. but look at democrats. it is another story. they are likely to explain of reckless u.s. behavior in the international arena with unknown

consequences as well as greater instability in the middle east and the democrats will point out that along with general suleimani, a key iraqi general was also killed, also killed in the strike. which has generated a powerful backlash from iraq and a movement to demand the departure of u.s. military there. today the parliament said they want the u.s. out. that is late-breaking development just a few minutes ago. so you have some real big issues here. >> he said that right at 7:30 when the news broke. quickly perfect we let you go, what do you think happens next? >> you know, it depends. it is a tough one to predict because there are so many variables in play but we know that iran will retaliate and whether the two powers are able to reduce the steps they are taking and we don't know how this will play out in the

presidential election that you mentioned. chances are the longer this impasse goes the greater impact on voters' minds next november. whether the minds, i should say, support for the democrats or republicans remains to be seen. but you've got expect this to have an impact. >> larry, always wish we had more time. thanks so much. rob has the final look at weather after this.

7:54 with clear skies and

sunrise in san jose, 42 right now in san jose and in san francisco beautiful view of the golden gate bridge this morning. upper 40s there but still seeing mid p mid-30s and some patchy frost possible this morning and a second round of that into tomorrow morning as well. north bay between now and then, could see a slight chance of some midday showers. as you're about to see in the future-cast coming up. highs today in the upper 50s to near 60 in san jose. 57 closer to san francisco. and ukiah 55 degrees. and mendocino county toward lake county that will eventually see a chance of showers dropping on in. it is the outer fringe of the weather system passing by later today and you notice most of the bay area enjoys the sunshine, sonoma and coastal marin county, the showers weaken on approach but still a chance to see a few showers for the north bay and the skies clear which will once

again set the stage for chilly temperatures and probably another round of patchy frost for the valleys heading into the morning. but speaking of frosty temperatures, how about that view this morning from squaw valley. the toyota tahoe reports showed we have easy driving conditions into monday and then tuesday and wednesday more snow on the way which eventually means we'll see more rain around the bay area. so heading into the rest of the week, notice tuesday, wednesday, thursday cooler and breezy and scattered showers at times. though rain totals from tuesday night through thursday generally less than a quarter inch of rain for most of the bay area. then as we get closer to next weekend where the big story is the 49ers hosting the divisional game at levi stadium at 1:35 in the afternoon. we have more showers passing on by. right now the timing is more for the beginning of the day. wind may be more of an issue. wind speeds 15 to 25 miles per hour and next saturday and the part of the 49ers forecast is the rain which for the morning

you could see some places picking up a quarter inch. but once we pass 1:30, notice how the numbers don't move. so we hope that timing holds. mainly some showers for the morning and cooler and breezy finish to next weekend. so here is a look at the seven-day forecast. a reminder that the big game here on nbc bay area news next saturday which coincides with the best chance for finding rain in the extended forecast friday night into saturday morning, some to watch very closely toward next weekend. >> we'll be watching that closely. rob, thanks so much. and thanks for making us part of your morning. no 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. newscast and usually i'm saying it is sunday night in america but it is the golden globes tonight. we'll have more at 11:00 p.m. and all day on nbcbayarea.com. so far i think that is one. and then golden globes. so just stay right here. football and golden globes. and poor rob will be back here
