process. he is urging ukrainians to stay safe in shelters. this comes after the first attempt at a cease-fire failed on saturday. ukrainian leaders called on the russian army to stop shelling so women, children and the elderly could evacuate safely. many people in the city stocked up on supplies just before leaving. the number of people who have left ukraine has reached 1.4 million. russian president vladimir putin says western sanctions against his country amount to a declaration of war, although putin said sanctions are similar to declaring war he added, quote, thank god we haven't gotten there yet. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy spoke to members of congress yesterday outlining the support he says the country needs to withstand russia's assault. according to people on that call, president zelenskyy asked lawmakers to ban the import of russian oil to give increased military aid to ukraine and to enforce a no-fly zone over the

country. bay area congressman congressma was on the call. he's urging congress to move quick. >> first of all, we must enact the $10 billion appropriation for additional military equipment for humanitarian aid within ukraine, and outside where the refugees are. >> he does not support the united states and other countries enforcing a no-fly zone over the country, which experts see as leading directly to war with russia. a tourist visiting the bay area from ukraine has now received temporary protected status to stay here as the war rages on back home. he tells "today in the bay" how much it means to him and the constant fear he still lives in. >> reporter: this is just one of the photos he received from his

stations and it's a total shortage of all supplies. >> she talks with her friends in ukraine every day as they describe the toll on their children. >> all the sirens, all the constant explosions, and she says, we are in shock, i'm crying nonstop. >> he says his father-in-law is in hiding, and if he were in ukraine right now he would be fighting. >> we fight for democracy, we fight for freedom. >> a fight that has left him mourning. >> a friend of mine died in battle. >> for now, the three ukrainians are joining forces to send supplies to their native country and offer support from afar. marianne favro, "today in the bay." the world health organization is confirming several attacks on health care facilities in ukraine. the attacks have caused several deaths and left many injured. additional reports are still being investigated right now. he says attacks on health care facilities or workers breach medical neutrality and are

money as they keep a close eye on the news. >> we're just getting closer and closer to something even more horrible than what's happening now, so we're just crossing our fingers, sending good thoughts, saying prayers. >> many who picked up orders say what's happening in ukraine moved them to take action big and small. and now to a live look in san jose where people will gather for ukrainian peace rallies. the peace and justice center will hold a sidewalk vigil on winchester boulevard. the vigil starts at noon. several cities in the bay area are also holding rallies today, raising grannies and women's international league will hold a vigil for peace in palo alto. that starts at noon. also at noon, an action rally in santa rosa at old courthouse square and at 1:00 p.m. the group code pink will lead a peace in ukraine action rally at the san francisco ferry building at the embarcadero. if you are interested in helping war victims in ukraine,

but that's not stopping shoppers. tony has received offers of $2,000 over the listed price. >> they're saying, what can i give you, what do i have to do. and for us it's first come, first serve. >> reporter: the majority of callers have the same fears. >> a lot of the people i've been speaking to think gas prices are going to go up to $7, $8. >> reporter: in menlo park drivers are paying more than $6 a gallon, while those brave enough to stop at this chevron. he tells me gas prices are crazy high but he gets to get to work. he only stopped here because he was on empty. he says the economy is keeping him from running to trade in his car for an electric one. stephanie magallon for "today in the bay." much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with chuck todd for a preview of this week's "meet the press."

welcome back, everyone. time right now for our weekly chat with chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press." thanks for joining us. >> you got it, candice. hello there. >> let's dive into ukraine. you're speaking with secretary of state blinken. the sanctions, the president says, have had a big impact. he's trying to maximize impact on russia while minimizing harm in the u.s. and on allies. but is the administration running out of cards to play while trying to walk this line? >> well, you know, you bring up a good point. this has been a pretty aggressive sanctions regime. there really is only one big thing left. it would be a full oil and gas embargo by the west. there's growing political support for it in the united states congress, both democrats and republicans. i think the biden administration

is not yet ready to sign off unilaterally, but you'll hear the secretary of state say if he can get all the allies on board, then maybe they would do that. but we do know that both germany and italy have some energy they're still buying from russia through a very small channel, and so there's not yet that comfort level in the entire western alliance to do this. i do think whether the united states -- whether the biden administration wants to do this unilaterally, i have a feeling congress is going to force the president's hand, because if he doesn't do it they may send him a bill that does it that's veto-proof. so i think this is coming. the question is just when, not if. >> so delicate there. the topic of ukraine was front and center at his state of the union address, then he talked about gas prices, the pandemic, jobs, infrastructure, but notably he did not talk about racial equity, something he built his campaign on. in your opinion, was this a political miscalculation? >> well, you know what was

fascinating was the missed opportunity, and we actually discussed it on "meet the press." today is bloody sunday. bloody sunday is, you know, we marked it every year since it happened, john lewis, the late congressman from georgia was beaten by folks when he tried to cross that bridge and it's marked every year on this right. well, the f freedom abroad. it is easy to connect the fight abroad with the fight here at home, and yet the president did not do that in the state of the union. and i think when you talk about the racial inequities, voting is right at the top of the list when it comes to some of these inequities. so mistake, i would just call it a missed opportunity. but that, to me, seemed like the easiest way he could have done that and they missed it. >> and the timing of that missed opportunity as well. thanks so much for joining us, chuck.

we appreciate it. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." as mentioned, he'll have an interview with secretary of state blinken, plus an exclusive interview with nikki haley. tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. right after this newscast. also make sure you tune in for lester holt's exclusive interview with former attorney general bill barr. that special airs tonight at 11:00, at 9:00, only here on nbc bay area. the uc berkeley enrollment saga continues. it appears the group behind the lawsuit to limit enrollment is willing to compromise. the thursday the state supreme court denied the request to lift the enrollment freeze. the group that fought for the freeze offered a deal yesterday. it would allow the university to enroll an additional 1,000 in-person students if 90% of them are in state and the university does not exceed more than 43,000 students total. the lawsuit says uc does not

provide enough housing for students, so they move into neighborhoods, increase congestion, and force out low-income neighbors. a live look at the bay bridge where traffic is light right now, but starting to pick up this sunday. but a shocking discovery by aaa is shedding light on the concerning habits drivers have while hitting the road. "today in the bay's" mike inouye has the story. >> reporter: good morning. now, yes, while traffic volume is picking up compared to the big dip at the start of the pandemic, there's disturbing data that comes in from aaa. they just released data from a recent survey in which participants reported 60% of them drove less, and a very small 4% of people actually drove more. what bothers me most is that 4%, they were on the road more and they also took bigger risks with behaviors like texting while driving and excessive speed. aaa advises -- >> it's just a stressful time in general. if you're traveling on the road and somebody is driving

aggressively around you, let them go, let them pass. just keep a level head and get yourself out of that situation. drive within the posted speed limit. always be a focused driver and only drive when you're sober. >> risky driving habits, avoid those. this data shows 2020 was one of the deadliest years, despite a lower volume of traffic. a reminder to you as you hit the road, follow the posted speed limits and adjust for conditions like fog and let those aggressive drivers go ahead of you because it's just not worth it. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. another large effort, search effort in the east bay for alexis gabe. the search was focused in brentwood yesterday. volunteers looked for any clue connected to gabe's disappearance. the 23-year-old woman was last seen january 26th at her boyfriend's house. the next day her car was found abandoned in antioch with keys

in the ignition. searchers are using more technology thanks to training. a second high profile theranos case is set to begin on wednesday. the former president and ceo of theranos was not just a business partner to elizabeth holmes but her former boyfriend. he's accused of lying about the company's abilities to investors, doctors and patients. his trial comes after a jury recently found holmes guilty of fraud and conspiracy. this story keeps captivating silicon valley and it's playing out on tv, too. we are getting a first look at hulu's new show called "the dropout" set to dive into the early years of holmes founding theranos. take a look. >> what are we going to show at the demo? >> i don't understand. we're going to tell them we don't have a working prototype. >> but it worked before. everybody saw it. >> actress amanda seyfried plays

elizabeth. we spoke to william h. macy who plays a cia agent. he told us she worked hard to deepen her voice like holmes. >> to change her voice like that and to create this persona that she did for elizabeth holmes was an astounding feat. i don't know how she did it. and i think it must have been really tough for amanda. >> the show is streaming right now on hulu. if you're not staying inside to watch all these shows and you're heading outside, rob, is it going to warm up? it's been so cold. >> yes, we are at the coldest point of the morning right now and mostly 30s outside this morning. if you are going to get some morning exercise, you're going to want a thick coat or layer up, especially between now and 9:00 this morning. look at all the low 30s, from the north bay, tri-valley. one of the colder locations, 32 degrees right now in livermore.

you see hazy skies and a hint or two of patchy fog. 39 in downtown san jose. around san rafael, 44 degrees. as you get closer to the waters of the inner bay, temperatures trend more mild. san francisco in the mid-40s for this morning. so as we go through the day, patchy low clouds and mostly sunny skies. that will help to warm things up. we should see numbers rebounding out of these 30s that we're waking up to through about 7:00 to mostly 50s by noon. i wouldn't exactly call it t-shirt weather today, as we're expecting highs mostly in the low 60s. sunny with wind at times around the hilltops. you'll see numbers as warm as the mid-60s around fairfield and santa rosa nice today. you can see for the coast, san francisco, staying in the upper 50s, lower 60s bay side. now, tomorrow temperatures should start to climb up a little bit more, starting to see numbers closer to 70 there. for santa rosa and fairfield, then mid-60s around the bay.

as we approach tuesday you begin to see probably what will be the warmest day of the week with low 70s around santa rosa. even san francisco and over to fremont and oakland should see mid-60s at times for tuesday. obviously no rain in the forecast. you're seeing it at the bottom of the screen, the seven-day forecast. what we'll be watching is this weather system that's going to mostly miss us but give us gusty, dry wind. we'll have to watch this closely wednesday into thursday. beyond that, dry weather should take us into the beginning and then comes our next chance of rain, next sunday, around the 13th, you can see for areas especially north of san francisco we're hoping that we break out of this dry trend. obviously the seven-day forecast really doesn't show much through next saturday, but sunday into monday we're talking the 13th through the 15th, you have to head far out to find the next best chance for seeing rain. in the meantime, temperatures will be climbing a little warmer

and then we're on watch for winds as we head through wednesday and thursday, especially on the hills of the diablo range. they'll be trending more like spring through the next few days and probably seeing a few 70s as we approach next weekend, with the next chance of rain, we think, by next sunday. >> still looking forward to the warm-up and hoping for rain. >> next weekend, fingers crossed. there is much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a bump in the road for the warriors. they fall short in los angeles. steve kerr shares his thoughts on why his team is struggling to win. stick around. sports is next.

i'm anthony flores. the warriors have fallen from second to third in the western conference standings, after losing their fourth game in a row down in los angeles to take on the lakers. and how about steph curry trying to get good mojo going? 28-point spring before halftime. the warriors went from 14 down to up two on that bucket. lebron james scored 56 points, the most of his laker career. we know steph is the best shooter in the game, but his handles are ridiculous. check this out. he scored 30 points, ties the game at 110-110. but with under 35 seconds to go, carmelo anthony hits the dagger in the corner. the lakers beat the warriors 124-116. the dubs have lost eight of their last ten games. >> we're making way too many mistakes, execution-wise at both ends and we're not giving ourselves a chance to win. >> right now if playoffs start

tomorrow, we'll be in some trouble. so we've got to figure out how to get ourselves back on the right track. it's not going to happen just on its own. you've got to do something about it. we have 18 games to do that. >> at the shark tank, san jose hitting the ice against the nationals for the first time in more than two years. in a show of support for ukraine, ukrainian national anthem was played before the game. up 1-0 with 90 seconds before the end of the first, the first of two goals in the game. nashville scored two in the first, two in the second and four in the third. the sharks tie their worst home shutout loss in franchise history. final 8-0. on the pitch, san jose taking on columbus. the quakes played a man down for 57 plus minutes. then trailed 3-1 in the second half. then the 84th minute off the free kick, a header into the net. 12 minutes later, kelvo again with the heads-up play.

he scores the equalizer six minutes into the stoppage play. the match ends in a 3-3 draw. the quakes play their first road game of the season next saturday in philadelphia. that's a look at your morning sports. i'm anthony flores for "today in the bay." >> thank you so much. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, bombs continue to rain down on major ukrainian cities. some ukrainians can't return because of the fighting. we speak with one of them here in the bay area. >> my children will know. >> a direct fight with russia could spark another world war, but american civilians are signing up to fight for ukraine. hear from one man who says he's ready to go.

>> we've got to do a better job right now of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as investing more money in adaptation, because right now we're not keeping pace and so there's going to come a point very soon where our ability to adapt to and deal with these disasters is outmatched by mother nature. you can find more stories like this on nbc lx. you can watch it any time on lx.com or watch on ex fint channel 185 or over the air on channel 11-15. vice president kamala harris is traveling to alabama now to commemorate the 57th anniversary of bloody sunday. people from across the nation traveled to selma yesterday to retrace the steps of those that walked the bridge in 1965. this is where police brutally attacked marchers. the attack would later prompt congress to pass the voting rights act.

another march over the bridge is set for today. we are now into the second week of russia's invasion of ukraine. the cost has been massive, with ukrainian deaths and close to 1.4 million fleeing to european countries. when will the fighting end and how will it end? these are tough questions. nbc bay area political analyst larry gersten is here to discuss. is there any glimmer of an end in sight here? >> candice, not so far. the russians are expected to mop this whole thing up in about 24 to 48 hours. that didn't happen. now, as you said, day 11, high cost, of course, for the ukrainians and also theno, therd in sight, at least for now. >> yeah, such hard questions we're talking about. but, also, are you seeing any signs of how this will end, maybe? >> such a simple question and there's at least two answers,

maybe more, candice. first of all, look, the russians are likely to get in. they've just got too much fire power. they'll get into kyiv and that's the most important part of their attempt to encircle the ukraine. and probably elsewhere soon. they've already done well in the south. the second answer is a lot more problematic. ukrainian resistance is strong, stronger than anybody thought, and we know this much, from military intelligence, when you're starting to fight an urban warfare, it is impossible to do well unless you've got an advantage of about ten to one. ten invading soldiers to one resister, and those are huge numbers. so if the russians are going to try to take ukraine, they're going to have in bring in incredible numbers, even more than right now. and that's why we don't know for sure how this will ever end. >> what about the sanctions imposed by united states and nato partners? your thoughts on that? >> that's the best question of all, candice.

look, and it's also the great unknown. we know one thing, there's one more major sanction, and that's dealing with oil and gas. it's a two-edge sword, however. we know the russians get so much money from the exports of natural gas and oil, 36% of their economy comes from natural gas and oil that is sold mostly, mostly to europe. but on the other hand, we see the extent to which europeans are so dependent on russian oil and gas. there's the data right there. italy, 78%. hungary 70%, germany 70%. look at the u.s. the u.s. only gets 5% of oil from russia. so obviously we're not nearly as impacted as those european nations and that's why everybody has been thinking twice. if you don't have russian oil, it's got to come from somewhere. probably the middle east and maybe the u.s. to some degree. but it's going to be costly. you think $5, $6 a gallon is expensive now?

look at $8 or $10 once oil goes up to $150 and $200 a barrel. and that's why we're in the great conundrum. to save ukraine may mean we have to spend an awful lot of money and pay a big price at home as well. the question is whether the united states and europe are prepared to do that. >> thank you so much, larry. we really need this local expertise on this overseas crisis. we appreciate it and we'll see you next week. next a quick look at the top stories, including overnight developments in the russia/ukraine crisis. #. >> and we're seeing a chilly start to the morning. 32 degrees in dublin in the tri-valley, rebounding to the 60s later on. when 70s could be back in the forecast when we come right back.
