richmond. as we head down 880, we are seeing the rain picking up for hayward down to fremont, and we are seeing spots in the tri-valley where the rain is getting lighter, but still pretty light rain for san ramon and in pleasanton. we're going to be watching the rain picking up for areas just south of san jose and morgan hill and gilroy seeing the heaviest of the rain right now, as some of the rain moves over the santa cruz mountains. we have a lot more of the system that will work through the bay area going into today. i'll be watching for that and we'll talk about when we can see thunderstorms coming up in the forecast. >> thanks, kari. you can follow on facebook, twitter and instagram. she's also posting on the go forecast updates for us. developing this morning, a new push to end the war in ukraine. leaders on both sides will meet in person tomorrow to discuss the end of the conflict. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says he's willing to discuss his country's

neutralality. in the meantime, russian forces are trying to break through defenses outside the capital of kyiv and ukraine says they will not open new humanitarian corridors due to fears of attacks. gas deliveries are stable this morning, despite threats of retaliation from moscow for new western sanctions. in the meantime, president biden walking back a critical comment he made overseas, suggesting russian president vladimir putin cannot remain in power. "today in the bay's" brie jackson is live in washington. the white house in a little bit of damage control here. >> reporter: good morning, laura. that's right. well, president biden has stepped up his criticism of vladimir putin in recent days, but some warn that the president's recent comments could further escalate tensions with russia. after making this comment about vladimir putin during a fiery speech in poland saturday -- >> for god's sake, this man

cannot remain in power. >> reporter: secretary of state blinken is trying to do some damage control, reiterating the administration's stance that there are now plans to -- there are not plans to implement any regime change in russia. republicans warn the president's remarks could add fuel to the fire and the ukrainian conflict. democrats stress it's up to the russian people to decide who is in power and that the u.s. is focused on defending ukraine against putin's attacks. >> it plays into the hands of the russian propagandists. >> he is depleting critical resources from his own nation for this awful war, so i just don't see how this ends well for him. >> reporter: u.s. officials say russian forces are struggling to make progress in the first month of the conflict, forcing them to scale back on military goals. but there are concerns that

battlefield failures will lead to even more aggression from the kremlin. the kremlin says the next round of talks between the two sides will take place in istanbul on tuesday. laura. >> so much to follow. thank you so much, brie. as the invasion stretches on, descendants of survivors of previous conflicts say they fear the war could leave lasting scars on ukrainians living through it. coming up on the "today" show, the group of holocaust survivors that are being evacuated from kyiv as violence is surrounding their city. that's after "today in the bay" at 7:00 a.m. developing this morning, merchants in san francisco's chinatown are fed up. they say they've had enough following the most recent string of thefts and robberies. this weekend several more store owners say they were targeted. "today in the bay's" tom jensen is live with reaction from some of the business owners. thom, what are they telling you? >> good morning, marcus. shop owners are telling us that

they're really fed up with this, like you said, that they're losing hundreds of dollars every week, sometimes daily, to these thefts and robberies, and they say that it's really affecting their bottom line. we talked to the owner of b jewelry in chinatown who was hit this weekend when at least ten stores were robbed. she said this was the third time, on saturday a team of thieves came in and just started taking whatever they could grab. >> i work 9:00 to 9:00 every day, never a day off. but they come in the store, everything is free. >> reporter: you can hear how hard she said she works for that money. she also told us that she's scared. they were also hit two weeks ago and a little over a month ago. surveillance video from another store tells a similar story. thieves come in and grab whatever they want and sometimes fight with the store owners, who are losing so much money,

sometimes they actually have started fighting back. mayor london breed has promised to step up police patrols and provide more police funding for overtime to do those patrols, but shop owners tell us they need even stronger police presence, they need more arrests. and when the arrests are made, they said they need convictions and stiffer penalties when people are convicted. we're live in san francisco, thom jensen, "today in the bay." >> unacceptable behavior. thom, thank you. now, san francisco police are looking for the men you see in this video here. this is a video that's going viral right now. on friday those thieves targeted a film crew on twin peaks with bystanders nearby filming this. the gunman in this video pistol-whipped one person and another man pointed a gun at the film crew before grabbing items from their car. you can hear the shock from people capturing this on their phones. >> they're getting everything.

oh, my god. >> now, the man who posted this video says the thieves stole about $35,000 from a canadian film crew and drove off in a silver infinity. anyone who has a tip or knows any information, you're asked to call san francisco police. 5:08 right now, happening today, striking workers at the chevron refinery in richmond and chevron management plan to meet for the first time since the strike started last week. workers are demanding higher wages. a union spokesperson tells us he's hopeful they can reach a deal. right now nbc bay area storm ranger is scanning the skies and tracking rain as it moves across the bay area. you can tell it's out there. look at the lens on this camera out here. if you're headed out the door, maybe add a little extra time because the roads are slick in some areas. let's check in with kari. she's been tracking the storm for us. >> we needed the windshield wiper on the camera, looking at fremont. those are the kind of conditions

you're dealing with right now as we take a look live at storm ranger. we have it parked on san bruno mountain. it's giving us the best view of the rain moving toward the east bay, as we see the downpours toward richmond, up 80 and 880. it's a soggy morning commute. as we head down to fremont, the rain gets heavier. still raining pretty good in dublin. as you go toward livermore, the rain as of now is taking a break and the conditions may be a little dryer for you. as you're heading to san jose, we're seeing the rain picking up, but some of the heaviest rain still in the south county right now, as well as the santa cruz mountains. this storm system will be moving through with the center of the storm arriving this afternoon and that's when we could see the enhanced risk of thunderstorms today, as we get that warming and more energy added to the system. looking at our hour-by-hour outlook, we see spotty activity, so there may be some breaks here and there for today. you just want to be prepared for a little bit of everything as

our weather could change very quickly. as you're heading out on the road, a look at the morning commute, we are seeing a couple of incidents, especially as you're heading toward the east bay, driving on 680 approaching mission boulevard, going southbound, we see an accident there. and the yellow arrows show that it is slowing down heading toward mission boulevard. we're also seeing a couple more people spinning out, some minor incidents on the roads in the south bay, as well as heading up 101, we're seeing a couple of accidents. so be really careful, slow it down out there. these conditions are quickly changing. i'll have another update in a few minutes. >> good advice, thank you. halting production. still ahead on "today in the bay," apple already rolling back production for one of its newest devices. the surprise circumstances the company never saw coming, and what it may mean for future pricing. and elon musk talks about perhaps creating a new sort of twitter. we'll take a look at that. plus -- >> oh, wow.

good morning. we're under a microclimate weather alert. soggy conditions as you're heading out, and it's going to be wet for the next couple of

hours, especially down the peninsula into the south bay, as well as the east bay. that rain is really moving through now. some of the earlier showers happened this morning for parts of the north bay and san francisco. as we take a look at our morning drive around the bay area, really starting to see things slowing down because of numerous incidents across the bay bridge, as well as the east bay, getting through fremont, as well as san jose. we're going to talk about all of what's going on and talk about what's ahead for the rest of the day coming up in a few minutes. good morning, very happy monday to you. shares in apple will likely move lower this morning, after reports the company is going to slow down production of its lower cost iphone se, because it seems like there's not the demand apple expected. apple only launched the new phone a few weeks ago, but has decided to manufacture millions fewer of them than first planned, according to the japanese newspaper. tesla will pause production of cars in shanghai as it shuts

down its factory again due to china's huge covid lockdown in the area. shanghai city government said on sunday all firms and factories will suspend manufacturing and work, unless it's remote, during the lockdown. tesla seems to do what china says. when local county government here in california told tesla to shut down production at its fremont plant because of covid some two years ago, elon musk called them fascists and at one point opened the factory anyway, resulting in hundreds of new cases. over the weekend, musk seemed to hint he was working on a new sort of twitter. former president trump tried something similar. musk wrote free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. do you believe twitter rigorously adheres to this principle? later todaying, is there a new platform needed? tesla does not have a history of free speech. the company has gotten into trouble with national labor relations board for trying to

quash union organizing and recently a tesla employee says they fired him after test driving a tesla. tesla did not comment why the employee was fired, but he says he didn't show any secrets. and you saw that "coda" won best picture at last night's oscars. the first time a film from a streaming service won best picture, beating out "power of the dog" from netflix. it is remarkable, though, how few people have seen either of these movies. "the new york times" pointing out nine of the ten movies nominated made less than $40 million. the only exception was "dune" that barely exceeded $100 million, you know, you look back and a lot of it is covid, but a lot of it is how hollywood is just operating these days. you look back at how we all saw "paving private ryan" or

"titanic". have you seen "coda"? >> not yet. >> i only saw it this past weekend. it's really good. >> that's the thing. there's so many things to watch out there. you're almost overwhelmed by it. >> you remember when there was just four or five channels? not anymore. >> three: well, pbs is four. >> you're right. >> thanks, scott. turns out hollywood's biggest hit this year probably was one witnessed last night on the stage at the oscars. everybody is talking about it. it overshadowed pretty much everything else about hollywood's biggest night. >> this all happened when chris rock made an off-hand joke about will smith's wife, jada pinkett smith. here's what happened next. >> oh, wow. >> okay, at the time many people thought this was all scripted, but then smith went back to his

seat and had more to say, most of it not suitable for tv. later smith won an oscar for lead actor for his role as father of venus and serena williams in "king richard". that's when he tried to apologize. >> art imitates life, i looked like the crazy father, just like they said about richard williams. >> now, smith said that he was sorry to the academy and his fellow nominees, but he never mentioned chris rock. the joke alluded to the bald look and brought up the movie g.i. jane. she has opened up about her hair loss to a condition called alopecia. here are some headlines from the morning after. take a look. all of them talking about, you know what, that smack heard around the world. >> fresh hit.

i mean, it was pretty shocking. i stopped it and played it back. i'm like, did that just happen? >> someone showed me on twitter because i wasn't at home when it happened. it almost looked like chris rock was waiting for it, and then it happened and, i don't know why -- >> a lot of people thought maybe it was a bit. >> when i saw the longer version. >> they had to bleep out so much. >> and you saw her face. >> she was sitting behind will smith. it's certainly what everyone is talking about. also trending, now academy award winner, add that to steph curry's resumé. curry and shaquille o'neal among the executive producers of "the queen of basketball" which won an oscar for short documentary. the film tells the story of harris, when scored the first basket in women's basket history and also the first woman drafted by an nba team.

curry helped promote the film a few weeks ago by wearing shoes with the words "queen lucy" on them. what another honor for him. biggest night in hollywood full of surprises. >> we mentioned will smith and the shocking hit. jane campion won best director for "power of the dog." will smith won for best actor. jessica chastain won oscar for best actress for her performance in "the eyes of tammy faye," and, again, apple tv plus made history with its movie "coda." this is the first time a streaming service film has won best picture. >> a lot to watch. >> we've got a lot to catch up on. >> do you try to catch up on them before the oscars? >> it's hard. >> what about those dresses, too. we didn't get into that. >> i didn't see any of it, i

didn't see any of the movies. i've seen "king richard." that's about it. let's talk about this rain this morning, as you're getting up and heading out. a look at storm ranger, that's been tracking this rain. it's been so great to see. we can see stormranger, the red scan as the rain is starting to taper off for some in the north bay. we're still seeing it come down in the east bay. richmond, lafayette, as well as oakland, a steady, light rain right now. rain down the east bay toward hayward, but it is getting lighter for dublin as you move toward pleasanton, the rain is starting to taper off and not really raining right now in livermore. it is picking up in the south bay as we see more of the heavier rain in the last hour or so moving into the south bay, over the santa cruz mountains and into the south county area. we can see this is all a part of the biggest storm system we've had since the end of december, especially when you take into

account the rainfall totals we've had in spots. we're not done with it yet and you can see the clouds off of the coast, some lightning strikes. that's going to be moving through later on today. so far we are nearing 2 inches of rain for scott creek and the santa cruz mountains, mount tam getting over an inch of rain, santa rose sa over 1/2 inch of rain. almost 1/2 inch of rain in los gatos, richmond reaching 0.3. we're still adding up the rainfall totals because we do still have scattered showers in the forecast through about 9:00, tapering off for the peninsula. then we start to get little cells popping up. that's for this afternoon. that's when we could see thunderstorms possible for today, and we could get pockets of heavier rain. as we take a look at our drought monitor, wondering how this storm system is going to have an impact, we know we have an extreme drought for the central valley, as well as parts of the north bay.

it's going to take several years of above normal rainfall to get out of this. so even though the rain is nice to see, it's not yet going to put a dent in the drought, as we take a look at our water update, we need several atmospheric rivers to move through. we need over 4 inches of rain to catch up to normal and 6 inches for the north bay, as the sierra snowpack continues to decline. our statewide average at only 46% of normal for this date. we're going back to dry conditions for the end of the week. we'll see the storm track heading back farther to the north. this is our only chance of rain for the whole week and our temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s. it does look like a really nice weekend for outdoor plans. getting out for work this morning, let's get a look at our overall commute. there are so many issues on the roadways, especially as you're approaching the bay bridge. we still have an accident on the bay bridge because of the light commute, not yet causing a

backup. in the south bay and parts of the east bay, on 680 going southbound before you get to mission boulevard we are seeing a backup due to an accident. so you do want to slow it down there, as well as the south bay on 87, an incident there, as well as 85. we have several people that are dealing with the spinouts and bumping into each other, so let's not do that this morning. slow it down, take it easy, and we'll continue to watch. hopefully these conditions improve. >> thank you so much, kari. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> her consumer complaint isn't really costing her money, but it is causing frustration with the world's biggest shipping company. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds next. >> one woman in san francisco's presidio neighborhood is fearing for her life. an ray thinks the city and law enforcement are failing her, so she's taking matters into her own hands. episode 5 of our streaming series "saving san francisco"

knew about. but fedex, their address was a mystery. she told us about repeated delivery issues, a box ending up at a similar but incorrect address four miles away. when she checked the website, she said her address wasn't listed. so with a purchase last month she planned to ship with fedex, she asked us to intervene. we got fedex involved and it took action, snapping the six-year spell. the box arrived at barb's door and we checked the fedex ground shipping system and barb's address is now listed for future deliveries. we asked fedex for an explanation but didn't hear back. barb wrote us a nice note and said kudos to you, your team and having nbc as our advocates. it's our pleasure, barb. this is the point when we usually boast about the money we got back. wheel chalk this one up to priceless. money in the balance or not, we tackle consumer complaints by the luckload.

"today in the bay's" bob redell

is live in the south bay. we'll check in with him in just a bit. meteorologist kari hall has a look at how long this will stick around. >> we're seeing a lot of it moving into the east bay, as well as, oakland and san leandro and coming down 880 into fremont, as well as san jose. parts of the peninsula getting in on some rain. it's continuing for parts of the south bay, with the heavier rain still over morgan hill and starting to taper off, for now, for gilroy, as the rain comes over the santa cruz mountains. you can see the swirls of clouds, lightning strikes off the coast and that's going to be coming in later today. we'll even have a chance of thunderstorms, so this is not just a morning storm. it's going to be scattered hit or miss as we watch out for a chance of thunderstorms later this morning, into the afternoon. be prepared for quickly-changing conditions, and now we head over

to "today in the bay's" bob redell, milpitas with a look at what's going on in there. >> reporter: we've had on and off drizzle. we've got 880 behind me. >> all right, well, obviously we've lost bob's signal there. that weather has arrived in the bay area and kari, of course, keeping track of it all. >> you can watch the radar sweeping through the bay area on the go any time you want. you can have internet access. all you have to do is download our free nbc bay area app. >> it is 5:34. civilian evacuations are being put on hold in ukraine as the combat intensifies. russian forces have made no significant advancement during the last 24 hours due to supply

issues and aggressive resistance by ukrainian troops. heavy fighting remains around mariupol. the kremlin now says the next round of talks between the two sides will take place tomorrow in istanbul. there's no chance it will include vladimir putin. >> and police in pinole are investigating a shooting at a bowling alley that injured two people. it happened late last night at the amf lanes near interstate 80. police say it started as an argument inside the building. officers are not saying if the shots were fired inside or outside. so far, there's no update on the victims' conditions. a hayward mother charged in the death of her daughter is set to appear in court. samantha johnson is expected to be arraigned in merced county. earlier this month authorities say her daughter, sophia mason was found dead in the home of her mother's boyfriend. johnson is being held without bail. police are offering a $3,000

reward for information leading to the arrest of johnson's boyfriend, dhante jackson. police are not saying what kind of role he played in mason's death. 5:35. as the pandemic moves into a third year, doctors around the world are still researching the long-term effects of covid-19. now, according to the cdc, one in three people who tested positive have symptoms of what's called long covid and the common symptoms are tiredness, fatigue, headaches, coughs, shortness of breath and hart palpitations. i spoke with the director of the stanford post-acute covid-19 clinic. she says it's important for anyone who has had covid to monitor their symptoms. >> you need to look out for any symptoms. it could run the gamut. it could be as general as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep issues, or more specific to certain organ

systems, such as breathing difficulties or musculoskeletal pain and other symptoms as well. but one thing i do want to remind everybody is that the definition of long covid or post-covid conditions, there are many names that encapsulate and capture the spectrum of conditions, is still evolving. we're still trying to understand as a medical and scientific field what exactly is long covid or post-covid conditions, and what does it encompass. right now as many as 200 plus symptoms can fall under this umbrella, and it likely includes various subtypes of continues as well. everybody needs to be on alert and thinking about, you know, new things that develop or persist after a covid infection, they need to be brought to the attention of your regular doctor, because they can work

through it and evaluate comprehensively if it's due to something else or if it's from covid. >> is there something that someone can do as they're battling covid? are there things you can eat, maybe vitamins you can take to maybe lessen the side effects? is that something you have seen, or no? >> i wish there were something very effective. the only thing that we know that can be effective, but it needs to be done before you get the infection, is vaccination. there's an encouraging study to show that -- and the data is still growing, so we still need bigger studies to have better conclusions, but it is encouraging, it suggests vaccination before getting covid can reduce your risk to get long covid or post-covid symptoms. >> at what point should a person be worried if their effects from covid are still lingering? is it a few months or just when you're concerned? >> that's a great question. because the definitions are still evolving, there's some

that say recognition of symptoms or conditions after four weeks. i think the consensus is moving toward three months, because of the fact that we see so much improvement in a lot of folks still between four weeks and three months. and so, for example, if you still have symptoms at four weeks, there's still a good chance within three months you're going to recover. so that could be considered sort of what we call subacute or still recovering. but when you're getting beyond three months and you're still having symptoms, that's when i would definitely be making sure you have a full evaluation by your doctor. >> good advice there. how about some fresh air on this monday morning? how about some rain as well? taking a live look at the golden gate bridge. the span on the approach. kari has a look at our forecast today. she's tracking the rain and how long it will stick around. >> it's going to be a while before we see this moving out, but it is great to see.

we hope that it does hang out for a little while longer because it's been a while since we've had rainfall totals like this, not since the end of december. we're still tracking rain moving flew parts of sonoma county, through contra costa. some of the rain that moved through earlier this morning was a little bit heavier, but we do still see pockets of rainfall going into late morning, into the afternoon. later today is when we could see the little cells popping up with more energy. there could be some thunderstorms. so we're looking at quickly-changing conditions as we go into today and the rain will continue for spots. but there will also be some breaks in between. but this not doing a lot to help us out with rainfall deficits. we still have some pretty big buckets to fill in terms of getting back to normal. getting out on the roads this morning, very slick commute for you, as you're taking that drive across the san mateo bridge, watch out for slick spots. it's been a while since we've

had rain like this. the oil rises to the top and makes it slippery. we've seen numerous incidents, especially on the interstates, that may be slowing you down, as well as causing collisions. i'll have another update in a few minutes. >> thank you. it is 5:40 right now. if you don't succeed, try again. there's another effort to try to decriminalize jaywalking. the reason one bay area lawmaker says he's not giving up on the proposal, and its first big test later today. >> and the white house continuing on monday, this monday, to try to walk back a startling statement from the president. plus -- >> the world's crew teaming up with a hip hop star. the new collaboration in the works. stick around for that and much more ahead here on "today in the bay."

. good monday morning. right now at 5:44, we are under a microclimate weather alert as much-needed rain moves into the bay area, especially for the south bay around saratoga, milpitas, getting light to moderate rain. it's been heavy in some pockets. that's also causing numerous incidents out there on the roadways with some spinouts, as well as a couple of cars crashing, and we've also seen the backup on 880.

we can see between union city and hayward, the big backup due to an accident. we can see it happening both north and southbound. we're going to be keeping an eye on what's going on on the roads, as well as our weather. i'll have an update in a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you. 5:44 right now. happening today, the first lady will be honoring the legacy of chavez with a visit to california. jill biden will be just outside of bakersfield where the united farmworkers headquarters is located and the site of the monument. the first lady will speak at a naturalization ceremony in honor of cesar chavez today. president biden, once again, walking back something he said in a major address over the weekend. biden says america is not seeking regime change in russia. >> and scott mcgrew, we heard him say it. >> loud and clear. this is going to be remembered for years to come, i suspect.

the idea behind the address in poland, which the house white house billed as unifying nato. rarely have we seen the allies so unified, but biden wanted to warn them this is going to be a long haul, stick together. this is a sound bite you're supposed to remember. >> we want to make clear, movement on ukraine, don't even think about one single inch of nato territory. we have sacred obligations. >> very powerful. but it was nine words at the end of the speech that really mattered. the white house says those nine words are ad-libbed, it was never in the speech. >> for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power. >> talking about putin. the white house says what the president said was not a call for regime change. biden, as he walked out of

church sunday, said it wasn't a call for regime change. but you can't remain in power sure sounds like regime change, and what are we to make of the claim it was ad-libbed? what the president of the united states says matters. or was it really in the speech? which is dangerous, because it puts putin in a corner. putin may now feel he has to fight by any means possible to stay in power. putin well aware of what happened to other dictators after they lost power like gaddafi. one bright spot, new peace talks between ukraine and russia should get under way tomorrow in turkey. ukraine's president said he would be willing to agree to one of russia's demands, which is that ukraine become neutral and not join nato, but only after russian troops leave and only after a national vote. it's hard to imagine ukrainians who have seen family killed,
