the administration building in kharkiv. you saw it just a minute ago. let's watch it again. ukrainians decrying the attack. russian military not talking. this is a government building run by a country russia is at war with. we're starting to get casualty figures in from the ukrainian government. the interior minister says at least ten people were killed, 35 wounded. this is ukraine's second largest city. there were two cruise missiles that hit the building. they do expect to find more bodies and more injured as they clear the rubble. this is taking place, by the way, in the russian-speaking portion of ukrai putin claims i ov cocktails raining down on armored vehicles, age citizens, we pres bombarding their invaders from their apartments, windows and balconies. bringing you up to speed on economic front, switzerland has joined the eu in sanctioning

[ translator crying ] >> as far as the military update goes, it looks more grim. russians are hitting kharkiv in

the far east very hard. a military convoy miles long headed toward kyiv. russia has fought badly, even incompetently up until now. unretired american general says it's not going to last. >> i think he told them double down, go into kyiv, fight in the center of the city if you have to, get me out of this mess. >> i think marcus and laura, we saw the beginning of that with the hit on the administration building in the eastern part of ukraine. now this is going to get more serious. when america attacks, we hit command and control immediately so nobody can talk to anybody. the fact that the ukrainian president is still on zoom calls is a sign that the russians really haven't done that. >> scott mcgrew, thank you. the war in ukraine will no doubt take center stage tonight during president biden's first state of the union address. we have a live look at the capitol. the president's address comes with added anxiety of a u.s.

economy suddenly reeling and politically it comes with the presidenthis predecessor, donal. "today in the bay's" brie jackson is live with a preview of the address. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. well, president biden is delivering his first state of the union address tonight and administration officials tell me that the president will emphasize the united response to russian aggression, while also focusing on successes here at home and providing an optimistic look ahead. president biden is expected to tackle the threat of vladimir putin head on. his administration says the president is expected to highlight the united efforts by the u.s. and allies, and the impact sanctions have already had on russia's economy. domestically the president plans to tout investments in infrastructure, and the progress made in america's fight against

covid-19. meanwhile, republicans plan to challenge his success. >> all the shots in arms, all the therapeutics and testing, that didn't just happen. that's a report of results. >> he told us he would make america safer. he really hasn't bothered. and he's told us he would rebuild our economy in record time, yet we have inflation beating 40-year-old records. >> reporter: tonight's speech is the first of biden's presidency. it will look far different than last year. this time face masks are optional as covid restrictions ease nationwide. iowa governor kim reynolds will deliver the official gop response to president biden's state of the union. back to you, laura. >> thanks for the very latest. and don't forget you can watch president biden's state of the union address. coverage starts at 6:00 p.m. tonight. happening today, get ready to pay more for your energy bill. it feels like we're paying more

for everything. pg&e is increasing rates by 9%. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live with reasons for the price hike. this increase is on top of another one that just went into effect. >> reporter: correct. good morning. you might recall just this past january, a couple months ago, bills went up around 8% to 9%. that was for gas and electric. starting today, we will pay even more for just our electricity. you can see on your tv screen effective today, march 1st, residential electricity rates will rise by almost another 9% on top of the 8% to 9% in january. and this new 9% is going to average around $14 a month for the average customer. by the way, this increase does take into account the california climate credit that we receive in april and october, which went up by almost $23 this year. the cpuc approved the latest

increase last month. why? pg&e says the drought has reduced the amount of cheaper hydroelectric power and the price of natural gas that powers the power plants is up about 90% this winter compared to last. pg&e says it is just passing through the costs from suppliers with no markups to us, the customers. >> what we pay for our customers' energy supply, both natural gas and electricity, we pass through directly to our customers. and we definitely understand and it's challenging. any increase to our customers' bills is challenging, especially as we consider the ongoing impacts of the covid-19 pandemic. >> reporter: we reached out to the utility reform network, that's highly critical of pg&e, and they said the latest increases, quote, mind-boggling pg&e increases are a punch in

the gut to millions of california residents hurting economically from the pandemic and struggling to get back on their feet. the cpuc needs to call a time-out on rate increases and make affordable bills a priority. and our bills to go up again, the reports are that pg&e wants to raise $10 billion so that it can bury power lines, which would represent an increase of about $30 a month for us. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> it's that time where you're pinching pennies everywhere you go to pay for things you certainly need. thank you. a well-known mixed martial arts champion is being held without bail after a shooting. sources tell nbc bay area, two-time ufc heavyweight champion and wwe star cain velasquez was involved in a shooting yesterday. authorities have not confirmed his alleged role. the shooting happened on bailey

of normal for this year. meteorologist kari hall is always monitoring what's going on. >> it's not a lot when you compare it to normal, so, i mean, what we should be seeing is 100% for this time of year and it's good that we do have a storm coming our way. it's going to bring us more clouds and then the rain arrives tomorrow night. by the end of the week, the bay area could see rain, hail, low elevation snow. let's talk about how much snow that's going to bring to the sierra. we could see possibly another 6 to 12 inches, and then another round as we head toward late next week. in all, looking at about 21 inches possible for kingville and we'll be watching out for incoming storms. mike, you've got a lot less to report? >> we had a couple of big issues for i-80. those both cleared up.

right now at 5:14, let's get you out the door and ready for the day. in oakland starting out at 48 degrees. we will have a lot more clouds than we've seen recently, but we do keep warm temperatures.

we'll be at 61 degrees at noon. we will see a big cooldown and rain moving in, all of these big changes coming our way and we'll talk about that in a couple of minutes. >> we're hoping for no big changes, but we did get a report of taillights heading into treasure island in the tunnel and maybe a disabled vehicle. we don't see it right now. we're going to track the chp reports and we'll talk you through it coming up. >> thank you so much. it is a quarter after 5:00 right now. images of the russian invasion of ukraine are hard for anyone to watch, but this is the first major war with minute-by-minute updates on social media, including platforms used by kids. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us. what should parents say to their kids about those tough questions? >> well, you know, the question that i got from my youngest who is 13 is, is daddy going? my husband is a journalist and he's covered several wars over his career. and i would imagine that a lot of families with military

connections might be getting similar questions from their children as well. because there is such a volume of images coming out, and not just on television, but also now on social media, especially of children either still in ukraine or in terrible refugee situations, your child might have more questions with this political and war action happening right now. i did ask people on facebook to weigh in. one mom says she's using her experience growing up in the cold war to put things in perspective. one dad told us he's answering the questions that his daughter is bringing up, but only those questions, and trying to make connections with the impact here at home like gas prices. another dad said his daughter's fifth grade teacher talked about it and then the class broke up and role played as nato nations. here are some tips from the experts. they say keep it age appropriate, don't give them more than they can handle. vet the information that they're getting. that means for older kids, talk about credible sources. and for younger kids, know where

they're learning about the war so that you know what they're dealing with inside their heads. if they are anxious, ask them specifically what is scaring them so that you don't introduce something they weren't worried about. and empower them with ways to help like making a donation or attending a support rally. some of the ones that we've seen over the weekends. nbc news nightly kids does have a good explanation of how we got to this point between russia and ukraine. if you want to check that out, i will put a link up on my facebook page. difficult conversations, we've had quite a few over the last few years with our kid, the experts say let them guide the conversation so you answer what's really bothering them without introducing something else that will be worrying them as they go to bed at night. >> very much so. on sunday night when putin had declared nuclear alert, my daughter came into the room crying, like what is going on. and so right before bed, it's

tough, but it's also a good opportunity to talk about history and what is happening and that they are safe. so important. >> it is. but they do tend to bring that up right at bedtime, right? >> everything is going through the mind. >> we had a good conversation on the drive into school and putting it in their terms as well, you know. if you entered your sister's area, if i would have to put a sanction like taking your cell phone away. i tried to put it in their terms so they understood it. >> it's just so hard when they see kids that look just like them in those images of war. usually we see soldiers, battle lines, but when you see those children, it makes it really hard for us. i can only imagine for the little ones. y much. 5:18 this morning. it is time to get you going. meteorologist kari hall has a look at that forecast. >> it's starting out a little bit milder, but temperatures in the upper 40s right now at 5:18

and we are going to see more clouds coming in today and it's not going to be as bright and sunny as we've seen recently. it's in the low 50s as we start out our 8:00 hour. going into the rest of today we're still going to reach into the 70s this afternoon. we could see some mid-70s in spots like east san jose reaching up to about 75. and some upper 60s for san mateo, daly city, half moon bay and up to about 70 for the north bay, santa rosa reaching 72. we'll have one more day of warm temperatures. then going into tomorrow evening into thursday, we'll start to see scattered showers moving in that continue through friday. in all, we're looking at about a half inch of rain for many of our microclimates, could be about three-quarters of an inch of rain, which is really nice to

see. along with rain, we could see much colder temperatures, gusty winds, possibly a few thunderstorms that could bring hail, as well as some low elevation snow as temperatures continue to cool off. the storm wraps up early on sunday and we'll start to warm up once again, so we're going from warm, mild weather now, to a big dip in temperatures for the end of the week and then starting to head back to more spring-like weather. it is nice to see rain headed our way. mike, you're tracking an incident on the bay bridge. >> it's supposedly -- i shouldn't say supposedly. it sounds like i'm suspicious. chp is accurate and they pass along what we get. we do see taillights moving smoothly, a disabled vehicle inside the tunnel blocking one of your left lanes. you see track flowing smoothly into the tunnel and not backing up and it flows smoothly out of

the tunnel. i'll let you know if there's any more disturbance or if they can get off at treasure island. the rest of the bay, standard, light traffic through the peninsula, no slowing. altamont and highway 84, coming through the tri-valley. there's a build out of the altamont pass toward 580 and vasco. it's still under 20 minutes from discovery bay down toward that major thoroughfare. back to you. coming up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> a store delivers more than a dozen pairs of the wrong pants. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, nbc bay area responds to a denim dilemma.

walmart said no. we have been to this rodeo before, so lilly asked us to wrangle up the refund. we contacted them and lilly got back her $330. in a statement walmart said she is a valuable customer and we are very sorry for this inconvenience. walmart let her keep the scrubs. she donated them to charity. with spring cleaning lots of us might be donating, recycling or trashing stuff. we found a website that might help. recycle stuff dot org. you can search by item at the top and punch in your zip code and it will list places by location that will take that stuff off your hands as a donation, for recycling or simple haul away. we'll post a link on our website, nbcbayarea.com, click the responds option from the main menu. happening today across the city of new orleans, people will

it's a war not only on ukraine. it's a war on everyone. >> breaking at 5:30, ukraine's plea for help intensifies overseas. the refugee crisis worsening by the hour as russian forces move deeper into ukraine. the powerful message people are sending out to the world. >> hundreds of jobs on the line today as one bay area school district is set to vote on millions of dollars in cutbacks. >> also, how effective is pfizer's covid vaccine for young children? ahead in a live report, the new

findings and the reason doctors are assuring parents vaccinations are still the best option. this is "today in the bay." a very good morning to you. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. don't forget this morning when you're on the go, we're not only on television. you can also catch us live on roku, amazon fire, apple tv and online. >> let's start with a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. >> we are still enjoying warm weather across the bay area, and as you're heading out to work in fremont, you're starting out with a jacket. temperatures in the mid-40s. but there won't be that clear, sunny day. we're going to see more clouds moving in, but we're keeping the warm temperatures. let's go hour-by-hour. we're going to stop at noon. fremont will be at 67. also 67 in novato. our high temperatures in some spots will reach into the mid to upper 70s. up to 77 in san martin and morgan hill. napa will reach into the low 70s.

still pretty nice and comfortable, but a big cooldown and some rain is coming our way. we're going to talk about the timeline and how much you can expect in your neighborhood in a few minutes. >> thank you. 5:30 right now. to breaking news overseas, russia's attack on ukraine is escalating. we have a live look at ukraine's capital of kyiv. at this hour, a massive russian convoy is advancing toward the city, which is being hit by more heavy shelling. ukraine forces are refusing to back down. this video shows ukrainian men lining up to volunteer. the country's army now includes countless additional men in their late teens and early 20s. >> also dozens of diplomats from the european union, united states and brittain walked out of the speech by the russian foreign minister. he was addressing a u.n. human rights forum this morning. the move was made in a sign of solidarity. >> scott mcgrew joins us talking about that convoy. it's huge and headed toward the capital. >> literally miles long.

the whole world has been watching, as you know, with wonderment and admiration for ukraine's fighting spirit. we were showing you video earlier of molotov cocktails raining down on russian armor. we presume average everyday ukrainians, moms, dads, teachers, on their balconies, from their windows, raining down that fire. but the russians have very serious reinforcements on the way. in the form of that convoy that laura talked about. this is a satellite picture of that convoy staging outside of ukraine. since this picture was taken, it is onlargest city was hit by cruise missiles monday. this is a key point, we have not seen russians up until now trying to hit command and control centers. american strategy would be to cut off all communication, all power, leave the enemy blind and unable to talk to troops in the field. we saw that with both wars in iraq. the first strikes take out cell

phone towers, satellite relays, electricity lines. in ukraine the president is still on zoom constantly. he just spoke with the european union's parliament. communications are wide open and so far no serious cyberattacks. yesterday the russians and ukrainians talks ended with no agreement. the two sides are far apart because russia is making a demand that's absolutely off the table for ukraine. the russians want ukraine to disarm. the weapons and the incredible fighting spirit is ensuring ukraine remains a country. the mystery in all of this is putin, why he ordered the invasion, what his end game is. and we've said this before, nobody has galvanized and solidified the west more than vladimir putin. >> president putin has been one of the greatest unifiers of nat. so i guess that is one thing we can thank him for. >> economic sanctions against russia will take some time, but we've seen long lines at russian

banks as customers try to get their money out. that money is worth less each day. meantime, the international olympic committee says russian athletes should not be permitted to compete in any competition of any sort. they were allowed to compete in beijing under an olympic flag. the ioc does not have the power to ban athletes, but it's recommending that russians not be allowed to play. finally, we're watching all the information that comes out of ukraine. we show a great deal of it to you. one bit of video an nbc photographer has got, but hasn't been sent out yet, he sent in the description along with warnings -- and to be clear, i'm not going to show it, but i've got the description and this is from an internal nbc memo and i want to read pieces of it to you. medics performing cpr on a 6-year-old girl, wide shot, they're describing the video mother watching the medics inside the ambulance, close shot of mother, medics performing cpr

on child, deceased child, the medic touches her face. we would never show that on television. but it just seemed important to tell you about her. >> you don't even have to show it on television for us to know how horrible that was and what's going on there. thank you, scott. well, there are certain clear signs the kremlin is shifting its strategy with more troops moving in. the fighting is getting more intense. with it, a renewed push to escape violence for hundreds of thousands of ukrainians. >> "today in the bay's" jay gray live along the ukrainian/poland border. one destination for refugees. we can see behind you the massive amount of people, just desperate in this situation to leave that conflict. >> reporter: yeah, marcus, laura, we've seen thousands moving through this area. we're about a mile or so away from the actual fence at the border.

this is kind of the entry point, if you will, with buses moving in, picking people up at the border and transporting them here to this station. so many families getting off of these buses, and they come continually. they are full and they continue to move through, getting people out of ukraine, getting people to safety. when they take off the bus and we bring what little they've brought with them, they move inside the building. inside they find a hot meal. some have walked for three, four, one told me five days with no food or water. they get food, a shower. there are also 5,000 cots inside and they are full. they are completely full. and they continue to stay full. with the intense fighting that's going on right now, they are expecting to see even more teams coming this way to try and help with what will surely be a lot

more people trying to get away. so this is the entry point. people get in, they get that shower, they rest for a bit. and at that point they try and determine exactly where and when they'll go next, what they'll do moving forward. >> wow, so, jay, do we know what happens once they get to the border? will they find it easy to get into poland? >> reporter: well, what's happening -- and i'm hearing this from a lot of people that are getting in today, is that the crowds are getting so large that it's a wait. it's a long wait to try and get in, and so that's become another issue. there are just so many people trying to escape the violence that they gather at these borders, and then getting them to places like this is difficult. what happens once they're here and get organized, they get on another bus and move to different cities in poland, warsaw, wherever they can go, and they're in a more established place at that point,

and make a decision on germany, france, that's where that will take place. >> starting over, just with the clothes on their back and a bag you see. so hard to see, jay. thank you. >> be sure to stay with us as we continue to follow this up to the minute, updates on air, as well as online. our website is going to be updated 24/7 with the latest headlines. you can find our exclusive interviews and in-depth analysis on this escalating crisis at nbcbayarea.com. well, new information for you this morning about the effectiveness of pfizer's covid vaccination on the youngest children. it turns out, according to one study, the vaccine is less effective for those ages 5 to 11. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live this morning. before the director of the cdc spoke on the "today" show this morning about that exact topic,

so what did he have to say? >> reporter: the former cdc director sat down with savannah guthrie, as well as hoda kotb and says this new development is what he would consider disappointing. he said it's not alarming, but rather disappointing. we're learning information from the new york state department of health. this information comes from those health records for covid cases in children and teens in new york between december 13th and january 30th. now, the vaccine's effectiveness dropped from 68% to 12% in children ages 5-11, when the omicron variant began. so according to the new data, it was gathered by those health officials, the vaccine still prevents severe illness in children, and it happened with the vaccine effectiveness dropping 68%, but researchers learned the vaccine offers no protection against getting the virus, even a month after full immunization. researchers are pointing to just

how much of the vaccine children receive. as it stands now, young children get about one-third of the dose that the older children and adults receive. take a listen as dr. richard besser reacts to the recent findings. >> i would not use the term alarming. i would use the term disappointing. and the reason for that is that it is still quite effective as preventing what we care most about, and that's severe illness, hospitalization. >> reporter: now, drugmaker pfizer says research is under way to determine if the safety and effectiveness of a potential third dose for children ages 5-11. so far they have not said if they would seek fda approval for that booster. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> certainly a lot of parents i'm sure will be looking closely at this as well. thank you. happening today, state health care workers must have their booster shot or they risk

losing their jobs. the original deadline was february 1st, but it was pushed back. the mandate impacts 2.5 million health care workers. in the meantime, marin county first responders must have their first booster shot by today. about 95% of all firefighters are vaccinated. happening today, san francisco's school board members are expected to hold an official vote on proposed layoffs. you may recall it was originally scheduled for a week ago. it was delayed for the special meeting last thursday where no vote was taken. the board may approve 300 layoffs and eliminate $33 million in bonuses and raises. today's special meeting is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. taking a live look at the san rafael skyline as we get started with the day. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect from the forecast. how is it shaping up? >> you can see the clear view heading out of the north bay. no issues with low clouds or fog, but we will see more clouds moving in today as we keep the warm temperatures.

tomorrow we're getting ready for rain that moves in tomorrow night and by the end of the week we have rain, hail, and possibly low-elevation snow. here is the system that's going to bring all of those changes. just a little while longer with the warm and also very comfortable weather, but then as this rain comes in, very cold temperatures moving in as well. and we could see more snow as well as scattered showers, even another chance of rain by the end of next week. we're opening up a door for more rain chances and we're going to talk about how much we may get out of that. mike, you're tracking a couple of closures. >> light commute right now so i want to give folks a chance to plan ahead. in san francisco, if you're driving into the area, this is a familiar closure because we talked about it not too long ago. this is the end part of the project, the vermont street exit from northbound 101, there's been road work, but today it will be completely closed. the alternate, get over to 7th and then vermont street on surface streets.
