7:02 am
square park. >> we're not going to allow any narratives that disrupt the relationship that the black and asian community has. >> what's needed is folks coming together as you see happening here to say that we stand with you. >> coming together after video of violent attacks against elderly asian residents recently in oakland and san francisco gained national attention. >> my mom is heartbroken. >> reporter: amy's 84-year-old father died two weeks ago after he was thrown to the ground by a teen in san francisco's anza vista neighborhood. the 19-year-old black suspect is now charged with murder. amy's husband says leaders within the different communities need to hold people accountable, make this type of violence shameful. >> when violent actions are happening over and over again, something needs to happen different. >> reporter: the alameda district attorney's office reported 18 crimes against asian-americans around oakland's chinatown in the past two weeks.
7:03 am
oakland mayor libby schaaf and the city's new police chief are restoring police elaysons to the two largest english speaking, chinatown and they will serve as a reminder communities will not accept violence against others. >> to old each other accountable while still holding each other in community. >> reporter: zach norris says we need to address housing inequality, education and jobs, not focus on divisions, and this very public and diverse gathering of ideas also bringing hope for change to victims. >> the more people that care about these issues, the more it comfort. >> reporter: in oakland, thom jensen, "nbc bay area news." happening today, demonstrators will hold that rally at the san francisco civic center to show support for the
7:04 am
asian-american community. the chinese progressive association is putting on the event to condemn the violence against their community. organizers tell us they hope ac senate impeachment trial. seven republican senators joined 50 democrats in voting to convict the former president of inciting the deadly attack on the capitol january 6th but it wasn't enough to reach the two-thirds majority required. it's the first time an american president has been impeached and acquitted twice and even with just seven republicans joining democrats, it's actually the most bipartisan impeachment vote in american history. the fast track trial was nearly derailed by new evidence about how trump responded to pleas to call off the mob mid attack. house managers ultimately ended with an appeal to conscience, and even though some republicans agreed the former president was responsible for the mob, the votes were not there.
7:05 am
mitch mcconnell, who voted to acquit president trump, ended up slamming him for "disgraceful dereliction of duty." >> the country and the world know who donald trump is. this trial is about who we are. >> this was an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories, orchestrated by outgoing president who seemed determined to either overturn the voters' decision or else torch our institutions on the way out. but in this case, the question is moot, because former president trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction. >> in a written statement, just after the vote, former president trump said the make america great again movement has only just begun adding he'll have more to share in the months ahead. president biden weighed in, saying while there was not a conviction, the substance of the
7:06 am
charge is not in dispute and called for unity saying in part "this sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile, that it must always be defended, that we must be ever vigilant, that violence and extremism has no place no america." pack here locally to people who aren't health care workers, not 65 years old getting their covid vaccines, how? people with appointments apparently aren't showing up, and that creates the risk of precious vaccines going to waste. "today in the bay's" marianne favro shows us how santa clara county is working to avoid that. >> i got a notification from a supervisor at work that there were some extra doses today that they could give to county employees, so i dropped everything and raced over here to try to get one. >> reporter: it paid off. brett hammond, a santa clara county public defender, says just 20 minutes after arriving at the santa clara county fairgrounds, he got a covid vaccine. >> i'm thrilled. i'm so -- my mom lives ten
7:07 am
minutes away and i haven't been able to hug her in a year now so i'm excited to be with my family. i do think that public defenders shouldn't have to wait to get a text message, there's an extra dosage at 4:00 p.m. on a saturday, because like i said, we have so much exposure. >> reporter: he and other county employees who are not aged 65 and older and not health care workers in the currently eligible tier receive vaccines here today. we asked the county why. the public health department says because of an increase in the no show rate over the past two to three days, it had in excess of about 300 vaccines that had been thawed and set to expire if they weren't used by tomorrow. the county has procedures to offer the vaccine to those currently eligible, which is why it alerted the public of available appointments at the fairgrounds in a tweet today. then the county says it moves to county employees, who are in the
7:08 am
next eligible category and can timely respond to ensure no doses are wasted. 64-year-old craig ferguson says he is not a county employee, but did get a shot. he says his city council representative told him there may be extra vaccines. >> i said it's worth a shot to come and try to find it and i got the shot. >> reporter: late this afternoon, dozens of those who rushed down to the fairgrounds to get a vaccine were turned away, because they ran out. the county says no vaccines went to waste. in san jose, marianne favro, "nbc bay area news." across the bay area health leaders administered more than 1 million doses of the covid vaccine so far. we now have just under 400,000 positive covid cases. as we've been saying, there's a lot to keep track of when it comes to the vaccine. to try to cut through the confusion, nbc launched a new website titled "plan your vaccine." it's a simple one-stop shop, everything you need to know how,
7:09 am
where, when to get your covid vaccine. it's a personalized step-by-step tool that will show you the distribution within california, who is eligible now, and who is next in line. there's even an interactive map that can show you by zip code where the closest vaccination site is to you. just go to planyourvaccine.com. the san francisco chinese new year parade won't be taking place in person this year of course because of the pandemic but that hasn't stopped the chinese chamber of commerce from keeping the parade spirit and tradition alive in the city. this is a look at the float the commerce dibeaued yesterday. the float will be on display at pier 27 in san francisco. it will be on display this weekend and next weekend from noon to 8:00 p.m. top ten paradn the world. this ier the international festivals and events association. at 7:09, we still have much
7:10 am
more to come on "today in the bay." coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c., for our weekly interview with chuck todd, who has a preview of this week's "meet the press." plus it's a new generation of ocean exploration. how one bay area company is mapping the ocean floor, and doing it in an eco-friendly way.
7:12 am
welcome back. time to bring in chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck, happy valentine's day. thanks for joining us. >> good morning, thank you. >> with the second impeachment trial of former president trump, i'll jump straight to the elections of 2022. do you think the events some republicans voting to find trump guilty, many rubliepns voting to acquit him, do you think it affects the landscape of the 2022 elections for both the house of representatives and the senate or will this just be a
7:13 am
flip on the radar? > or 14 months for the first primaries, 18 months for most of them, close to a year and a half, i think these will be mostly blips. i think that impeachment will, and the entire, you know, there will be a handful of races where it is an animating issue, but i don't think it's, you know, i think it is more likely than not that time is going to just make that fade, that there will be new outrages or new issues that become front and center. now, we'll see, but i think that it's more likely to be that, unless donald trump tries to aggressively assert himself as leader of the party, and i'm not as convinced he's going to do that. >> although yesterday, he did respond to his acquittal by
7:14 am
saying the make america great again movement is just beginning. so we will remain to be seen what happens there. while we sail have you, if i can ask you about president biden's $1.9 trillion covid-19 rescue proposal. the goal was to have the package enacted by march 14th, which is when most of the current aid expires. how will the quick impeachment trial likely help with that? >> well, it means they could have had witnesses that might have delayed it another week, and it might have actually started to impact some of the senate work on this. so the fact of the matter is, getting impeachment done when they did, it should have zero impact on making that goal. if they don't make that goal, there will be another reason they don't make that goal. they can't blame it on the impeachment trial. this being out of the way, when it's out of the way, it shouldn't be the reason if
7:15 am
they're delayed at all. >> hopefully good news for americans who that, that second aid package. chuck todd, as always -- >> for sure. >> -- thank you so much for joining us this morning. we hope you join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." he'll talk to lead impeachment manager congressman jamie raskin in an exclusive interview and senator dick durbin and director of the cdc dr. walensky. maybe you stick right here. coming up in 30 minutes from now we'll talk to political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment and explore how much influence donald trump has now that the impeachment trial is over. shifting gears, mapping the a sailing drone. you may have actually seen this being tested in the bay. look at that. alameda based company called sail drone launched the world
7:16 am
largest unmanned ship, powered by renewable energy like wind and solar. can spend up to 12 months in the open ocean. it carries sonar equipment that helps to map the sea floor down to 7,000 meters, that's more than four miles. currently less than 20% of the earth's oceans are mapped. hmm. very cool. time to check in with vianey arana for a look at your valentine's day microclimate forecast. will it be a good day to get outside or as i said yesterday, i think, i'm using my same words again, snuggle on the couch with your valentine? >> snuggle on the couch is perfection whether that means your man, your girlfriends or your dog, cat, turtle, a good snuggle is always good. i'm always down for that. you've got your beautiful babies at home and your wonderful husband so i hope you get to
7:17 am
enjoy the day for sure. >> thank you, i got a the table so they would be surprised when they woke up thi! all right, so if you're going to be spending time with your loved ones, much like kira is, i hope you do, because san francisco beautiful skies and i know that i was mentioning rain, so let's talk about the timing for that. if you're worried, don't worry. it's not going to impact everybody and the time it will get in is late. doppler radar off to the north there, in addition to rain, we're also seeing sierra snow out there. we have our storm ranger up and scanning, mobile doppler radar you could see a little bit of drizzle up through the santa rosa area and this system is going to be very quick moving, but it's going to start out in the north bay. eventually into the evening and overnight is when we're expecting for it to move in. daytime highs in the 50s and 60s. look at the hour-by-hour outlook. notice how it's light, not continuous rain. no heavy rainfall, right?
7:18 am
and then i'm going to push the time line forward overnight into monday morning. if you have an early commute tomorrow, you could see a little bit of that wet pavement as you wake up in the morning. san jose, morgan hill not getting a lot of the system. in fact we're talking anywhere from less than 0.1 inch to quarter, so not a huge rainmaker but it will be just enough to wet the pavement out there into the start of the work week. you already know we take any rain that we can get. beautiful shot of lake tahoe and remember i was mentioning more snow? here it is, the outlook on sierra snow from this incoming system, a couple more inches. now, i always encourage everybody to check the travel conditions up there. recently they had chain controls required for i-80 so continue to do that at least through tomorrow into tuesday, but good news, all of this snow has been helping improve that sierra snowpack. we have a ways to go, but at least we're currently at 67% of the statewide average. if you don't know why the sierra snowpack is important, it makes up a third of california's water
7:19 am
supply so the more snow we get the better conditions we're in by the time drought season comes around which is what we're in right now. drier weather tuesday and wednesday and get this, rain chances are expected to make the return into thursday and friday so we're not in the clear just yet of that rain and here is a look at your seven-day forecast. again late rain tonight into early tomorrow morning. other than that, you should be good to celebrate valentine's day. kira? >> all right. >> i'm sorry. i can't send it back to kira yet. my climate hug, right? >> yes shall let's go, girl. >> how did i forget my climate hack, girl? i haven't had my second cup of coffee. you might need a second cup, too. chances are you might be using one of those flavored coffee pods in the machine. i have got a more planet friendly swap that i am going to be implementing in my routine to help us save the planet. check it out.
7:20 am
i've got a busy day ahead which means i'm going to need a coffee boost. when it's just me in the house i like brewing for one using a machine with flavored coffee pods. the problem? they're convenient but not so planet friendly. according to newstalk, more than 112,000 pods are made worldwide and because they're made out of plastic or aluminum, each can take up to 500 years to break down in a landfill. vianey, time for your climate hack. a good solution to try grinding your own coffee beans with a bigger bag at home. then pour your coffee into a reusable coffee pod instead. coffee companies are working to come up with more eco-friendly and biodegradable options so we can enjoy our coffee guilt free. here is the payoff. if we switched to refillable coffee pods we could keep more than 56 billion plastic and
7:21 am
aluminum pods out of the landfall each year. i've got my coffee now, we're go to go. for more info, follow me @nbcspree@nbcvianeyarana. >> we use this hamilton reusable pod thing, not an ad, again. vianey, thanks so much. go get your second cup of coffee. much more ahead on "today in the bay." an eighth grade science project lands this young woman the opportunity of a life time with nasa. how she's taking her work to education younger generations about climate change. and in our black history month series, we are shining the spotlight on a director, producer and screen writer from the bay area, ryan coogler, was born in oakland, raised in richmond. first featured film "fruitvale

stanford, she's drawing on both experiences to help young people around the world better see and understand howften an eighth gr science fair project changes a person's life. liza goldberg's did. her project studying the effects of climate change on maple saplings in her maryland backyard caught the eye of a judge who just happened to work for nasa. she was offered an internship at the age of 14. >> when i first came to merritt it was on the more overmelling side. >> reporter: goddard center goldberg worked with satellite imagery, studying the impact of climate change on the world's mangrove forests. goldberg soon realized there was a mountain of evidence satellites were gathering about climate change, but much of it unseen outside of research circles and none of it making it back to her high school science
7:26 am
class. >> it was nice, and i realized if i could possibly give the tools that i'm getting at nasa and i got an experience with two of the kids in my science classes, i could change the way they were viewing their interest and see the way they benefit the world. >> reporter: that's what goldberg set out to do, working with nasa, national geographic and google, goldberg is helping to launch cloud to classroom, a way to better visualize and therefore better teach climate change. like showing the spread of droughts and wildfires, the shrinking of ice and the growth of urbanization, and not just on a global scale, but enabling people to view the impact exactly where they live. >> what this project aims to do is really put that science in the hands of people who ordinarily wouldn't have access
7:27 am
to it. >> reporter: and perhaps inspire an eighth grader out there today to do what they can to start saving the world. garvin thomas, "nbc bay area news." >> admadmirable. now to some valentine's day statistics. according to retail me not, couples who dated two years or more will spend just over $200 and engaged couple nearly $250 and married for a decade or more, nearly $500. the most popular gift today is chocolate. that sounds like a lot of money for valentine's day. but if my husband is listening, i won't fight it. no, i'm just kidding. we have more ahead on "today in the bay," coming up. recent attacks on asian-americans in the bay area are gaining national attention, and today, people from all backgrounds will come together to condemn the violence. we'll tell you about it, coming up. k for less? and snag top brands for prices that have you, like "oooh yeah"! styles that take you here or here or even right there.

president donald trump, who has been acquitted in his senate impeachment trial. seven republican senators joined 50 democrats in voting to convict the former president of inciting the deadly attack on the capitol last month, but it wasn't enough to reach the two-thirds majority required. it's the first time an american president has been impeached and acquitted twice and even with just seven republicans joining democrats, it's actually the most bipartisan impeachment vote in history. even though some republicans did agree that the former president was responsible for the mob, the votes just were not there. mitch mcconnell, who voted to acquit president trump, ended up slamming him for "disgraceful dereliction of duty. >> the country and the world know who donald trump is. this trial is about who we are. >> this was an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories, orchestrated by
7:35 am
outgoing president who seemed determined to either overturn the voters' decision or else torch our institutions on the way out. but in this case, the question is moot, because former president trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction. >> in a written statement, just after the vote, former president trump said the make america great again movement has only just begun, adding he'll have more to share in the months ahead. back here in california, some positive news from gavin newsom gun, saying the state has reached nearly 6 million covid vaccinations but there's still work to be done. >> the goal is to do over 1 million each and every week in the short run and as supplies come in, build a system out that will provide upwards of 4 million doses to be administered each and every week, we're well on our way to doing that. >> more good news, the governor said the state positivity rate has significantly dropped.
7:36 am
last month the state positivity rate was 13%, and now it's just a little more than 4%. santa clara county and the gilroy unified school district are teaming up to provide a large vaccine site in the city. it's part of the county's efforts to increase vaccination access to areas of the county hardest hit by covid. the new site is at gilroy high school, had will have the capacity to administer 1,000 shots per day. appointments are required. it's set to open by the end of this month. we want to help you cut through the confusion. nbc launched a new website titled "plan your vaccine." it's a simple one-stop shop, it's a personalized step-by-step tool that will show you the distribution within california, who is eligible now, and who is next in line.

small business insurance is usually so complicated, you need to be a lawyer to understand it. that's why three was created. it's a better kind of business insurance. it's only three pages. straightforward. if you own it, three covers it. got a cheese slice for "spokesperson?"at's . i don't even need to see what's happening behind me to know it's covered. (screaming) this commercial is now over. logo. three. no nonsense. just common sense. welcome back. as we've been reporting former president donald trump was acquitted yesterday in his second impeachment trial. many republicans who voted to acquit the president, including
7:45 am
mitch mcconnell, still seem to agree that we a hand in the capital insurrection. still the president was not found guilty. so how could this happen? time to bring in nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for a look at that. is this a sign of many gop senators, you know, remain deeply hesitant to sort of disown trump and his brand of politics? >> well they did for a couple of reasons. we got to go back and frame this thing, kira. what the democrats tried to do is show a long series of events, going all the way back to the summer of 2020, where trump kept talking about how the election was rigged and they went to the election itself and how trump tried to change the votes such as talks with the secretary of state in georgia, and then they talked about afterwards, trump encouraging people including a $50 million campaign to get them out for that january 6th rally
7:46 am
as it were and how that rally led to the insurrection and trump's reactions afterwards, seeming to enjoy what was going on, not attending to the needs of his own party, his own vice president. that was the linkage the democrats tried so hard to put together, but even though people, including mcconnell, said it was a terrible thing, trump's a terrible president, the fact is they cited two big issues, it wasn't merely constitutional to impeach a president no longer in power, and that the first amendment allows the president to say whatever he almost wants to say, including the kinds of things the president said about the elections being rigged and how the republicans had to be careful and how the trump people had to take it back. all those things, that's what they said, even though there were to reasons for it legally, that's what prevailed. that's what prevailed, and that's what kept this thing from being convicted. do you think a the major from the
7:47 am
trial? it was quick. it was swift. and now it's already in the rear view mirror. >> yes, you know, we've only had four impeachment trials in the country's history, two with this president. it's really mind-boggling how all these things happened. here is the takeaways as i see them. senators can ignore evidence. they can. it's not like a court of law where the evidence is there and you have to abide by it. they can ignore it. they can ignore political events, they can ignore facts. they can consider other things like relationships and this can be not only puzzle you but disappointing to people who think they have a case. that's number one. number two, the trial shows there is a high bar when it comes to impeaching and convicting the president. we all know what happened yes, sir despite all that we saw, it didn't matter, wasn't enough. number three the senators were
7:48 am
not just jurors. they were victims. they were witnesses, we knew firsthand what was happening and yet for most republicans that wasn't enough to convict. >> it's interesting that you said they can choose to ignore evidence and some obviously you watched the proceedings were literally ignoring evidence, turning their heads, not paying attention, filling out their own work. while the house managers were presenting their case. i want to ask you, what can be said about trump's politics, make america great again movement. is it a movement of the past in terms of his presidency or do you think it's likely to continue? he did say yesterday there's more to come. >> democrats would like to believe nothing more trump is a one of.
7:49 am
when's gone, it's gone. for them, i'm sorry, i don't think that's the cases aall. rrp senators were terribly worried about the base and they had good reason. think what happened since republican members of the house, the brave republican members voted to impeach, in wyoming and illinois, in south carolina, three members of the republican party who voted to impeach were censured by their state parties, in arizona the governor doug bussey who oversaw the election county was censured, the governor censured by the state republican party. what does this is a and mcconnell saw this and many senators, he saw their fear and if he went ahead and voted for conviction and brought with him a number of people, there would have been a clear division inside that republican party that would have been public and obvious, and so now, we ask ourselves, what happens to

party? it's going to be a house divided. republicans, traditional republicans on the one side, trumpists on the other, and i'm telling you there's going to be an awful lot of blood-letting between now and the '22 elections, and for that, for that, we can only wait to see the extent to which donald trump continues his mysterious hold on so many parts of the republican party. >> wow. it's just nerve-racking to think of two parties and one of them divided into two itself. larry, as always, thank you for your insight. we appreciate you and we'll be right back after this and vianey shall have a full forecast.
