rain. it's the weekend. although we're tracking rain, i want to give you a heads-up and say it's not going to be a washout week. a couple of rain chances here and there. it is feeling colder so you are not imagining this up through the north bay. we have some 30s on the map when you compare these temperatures to yesterday. look at this, 29 degrees colder compared to the last 24 hours in santa rosa. fairfield, 19. down through hayward about ten degrees colder. we don't have that flow anymore. we're not seeing the gusty winds. but into sunday here is a closer look at what to expect. we have the rain chances and a drop in the cold overnight lows. i'll guide you through all of that in a few minutes. first an update on breaking news with mike. a big deal for b.a.r.t. we escalated the situation so b.a.r.t. says there's no service for the green line or the red line and there's no transbay service. system wide delays expected

because of that. we started with unscheduled track maintenance outside of oakland stations. we have ac transit providing an alternate from 19th and broadway that takes you into the city. keep that in mind and we'll continue to update you. the roadways are showing a typical friday lighter volume. we'll have a delay through oakland out of pleasanton and oakland. the green line canceled out of berryessa and, again, we have a problem for the transbay service. there's not a lot of extra traffic on the bay bridge right now. get ready, niners fans. there is a trip to the super bowl on the line this sunday. do we need to remind you the niners head to philly to take on the eagles in sunday's championship game. >> they are ready and so is kris sanchez. kris, 49ers faithful at home, we're all ready.

>> reporter: i think the niners are trying to turn me into a sports reporter the way they keep extending their season, but i'm here for it. levi's stadium will be quiet this weekend. we have a number of watch parties you can watch with other 49ers faithful. a lot of fans made their way to philadelphia already. we know the niners will be heading there later on today to watch the niners take on the eagles in a matchup expected to be the one to watch this weekend this is a passionate rivalry. the last time the eagles and niners paired off there were a lot of scuffles in the stands. we're hoping this time the action will stay on the field. here's where to watch the action if you didn't get a ticket and what to watch for on the field. >> our defense is going to have their toughest test of the year as well. when you look at a team that is a complete team outside of the 49ers, in my mind, the philadelphia eagles are the next

most complete team in the national football league. >> the same experience, giveaways, all the expectations you would have attending a 49ers event or as close to a home game as possible you can experience at each of those watch parties. we're excited to do that for our fans back at home, our team makes its way to the east coast. >> reporter: even with a little rain, our weather will be better here on the west coast. you can watch with community in san hoe say at san jose social and in san francisco you can watch all together the crossing at east cut is where the watch party is planned. there are also three other watch parties, official watch parties, planned, one in mexico city, one in monterrey, mexico and one in england. 49ers faithful are everywhere. in santa clara, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." it kicks off at noon on

week for the aapi community, hundreds of whom gathered last night in san francisco. in chinatown mourners hohn orpd the victims in monterey park and half moon bay calling for improved mental health care and gun reform. the head of the women's shelter says one easy solution would be call centers to address mental health crisis before it's too late. >> so that people have somewhere to call if someone is showing the signs. it's not out of the blue almost ever.leaders are coming coming together. we have a page with information on how to help the victims of this tragedy. also information on how to make a connection with a counselor if you are struggling or you need to talk to someone. head to nbcbayarea.com/supporthmb. bay area law enforcement

arjun batra was selected. he fills the seat vacated by matt mahan when mahan took over mayoral duties. on tuesday the council chose domingo candelas who filled the seat of new santa clara county supervisor sylvia arenas. 6:07 this morning as we take a live look at san francisco and get started with the day. that's a beautiful shot. we do see the fog around. meteorologist vianey arana has been tracking what we can expect there. you say the fog is not going to stick around for most of the day. it will clear and we will get a lot of sunshine. the active weather pattern that kicked off in 2023 our water rain update is looking fantastic. santa rosa we're at a surplus to san francisco. over 9 inches. oakland over 11 inches. that was one of our top accumulations. santa rosa at about 139% of average rain to date. in case you missed yesterday's

drought monitor update, this was two weeks ago. pay attention here. that little orange circle is gone. that was the extreme category, so we did see 10% less improvement in the drought and that's always fantastic to see. let's get a look at some gas prices with mike. >> i think i see prices going up. the same thing reading off gas buddy. we'll start in san mateo county in belmont on harbor boulevard. barely beats the $4 mark. down to morgan hill for their low, $3.87. tougher prices throughout the south bay. the bay area's best and one of the best in the state exxon on almador just down the road a couple blocks from the a&a

express we talked about yesterday, same price. to the roadways where the roads are moving fine. it's friday light. more crowded at the bay bridge, the backup. folks are avoiding the b.a.r.t. system, the transbay tube does not function now. a 20-foot section of track that has to be repaired because of a problem they had overnight so the red line, the green line are canceled. there is no transbay service. use nl line over into the city. in the last five minutes we've seen the volume really build. 6:09 on a friday. we don't typically see quite that much traffic. b.a.r.t. has no transbay service right now. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:09. population in decline. up next on "today in the bay," one bay area city is seeing its lowest numbers in a decade. the wine industry in decline as well as fewer young people drink. plus, we'll pair it with chips

coming up. take a look at the futures. a mild, mild start to the stock trading day in about 15 minutes. you're watching "t od

at 6:12 here is what to expect in your headlines. a sunny friday ahead. cooler weekend weather is expected. rain chances for sunday. looking ahead a cold air blast that will bring freezing lows

into next week. early this morning we were worried about fog at the bay bridge. now all the cars heading there. b.a.r.t.'s transbay service is halted because of a problem with overnight track work that extends now into about a 20-foot section that may need to be replaced. two b.a.r.t. lines taking out the transbay service. ac transit is your alternate. we'll outline the latest coming up. good morning, a very happy friday to you. bed, bath and beyond's troubles get worse. the company is no longer getting credit lines from banks and can't pay down its debt, a debt ceiling of towels, it looks grim. i gave you a heads-up about the bay area chevron buying back stock with its profits, giving the rest to investors, upping the dividends. president biden is not happy about that. a big oil company using those profits to make investors richer not investing in energy. we'll talk more about biden and

the economy coming up in 30 minutes when we talk politics. santa clara's intel sounding the alarm yesterday during its investor call. the chip company saying demand is falling. probably because the work from home/school from home era is passed. people bought one or two. american families now have too many computers. intem has too many chips. gallo restructuring, that will lead to layoffs. i bring it up because some of the research in the wine industry. we found the wine industry is it in a lot of trouble. younger people do not drink wine or, even worse for the industry, they don't drink at all. the only growth is in americans over 60. the biggest threat to the wine industry, young people. "the new york times," millennials, are not drinking enough. we're going to delve into that

in a future episode of "press here." still in the barrel, not ready to be served yet. this week we'll talk about old cars. a guy who started a hobby website has turned this company into $1.3 billion, with a b, in sales. you can find classic cars like thunderbirds and mustangs but you can find the car you drove in high school. marcus, were you telling me you drove an '88 honda accord. you can pick one up on the site for $4,000. there's a low mileage one for $12,000. mazda rx-7, laura, about $6,000. now this is sweet, it has an after market kenwood cassette. >> oh, wow. >> so you are ready to put that wham tape in there. >> there you go. >> just don't be late for algebra. >> that's right. oh, that's fun. a nice look back.

>> fun to look through them. >> a friend of mine bought an old car but it's amazing to get in them. look at the door locks. >> everything comes rushing back. >> look at the stick shift. >> i remember the first car that had electric windows and my mom said, stop it, she was worried it would break. they probably would. let's take a look at san francisco, city by the bay where the economic impact from the pandemic actually continues to hit the population. new numbers from the state revealed the population dropped by 4,400 between july of 2021 and last year. 0.5% on par with the drop statewide. it's also a smaller decline than the first full year of the pandemic when the population dropped by nearly 32,000 or

3.7%. a lot of folks moved away. we're not moving away from the niners. no way. big weekend when it comes to the fans. i say this guy probably has them all beat. he is the team's fan of year and you're about to see why. >> for starters, the other fans call him the eye of the niners. yes. if you notice there he has a glass eye. his right eye. the niners logo is in that eye. about a decade ago due to complications he had to get his eye removed and has that glass eye. he was nominated for fan of the year. one of 32 fans up for fan of the year. the winner will receive a trip to the super bowl and he's getting a lot of support. >> i have a lot of good 49ers fan base behind my back. i'm hoping to take the trophy back to the bay.

>> you can vote for pena on the website. search for fan of the year. pena says he will be rooting for the niners this sunday. kickoff is at noon. they will have a pregame show and nbc sports bay area will have a postgame coverage show coming up after the game. >> i voted for that guy. >> thank you for pointing out which one was the eye that was glass. >> that is dedication. he deserves to win. >> he's a fan through and through. >> rain chances but it's not going to be widespread and it will not be a whole lot of rain. san jose, beautiful view of downtown. overall clear skies. a couple areas of patchy fog. high pressure has been doing a fantastic job of keeping the sunshine around.

63 degrees in livermore. 63 in oakland. let's take a look at the timing for your hour by hour forecast. conditions stay dry tonight into saturday and sunday the showers pop up. not expecting complete rain. you will notice the winds kicking up. even if you don't see rain, the wind will be a factor in your outdoor plans. have everything tied down heading into sunday night. mostly focused to the south. a couple hundredths of an inch for sunday. because this is a colder air mass it will bring down some of the snow elevations and, yes, it

is expected to bring sierra snow. the travel conditions might get tough heading into sunday. we're talking about gusty winds. as we look at the snow coming down, we do have the latest outlook on those temperatures when it comes to february 1th and 5th f. it starts to melt we see issues into april. we'll be below average. this is more seasonable. temperatures are expected to get cold and a quick note if you head into l.a. on monday, you will see the impact of this system as well. we have not seen this season yet but it will be the cold overnight lows into monday and tuesday that could trigger freeze warnings as well in the interior valleys.

we'll let you know once that rolls through. major disruption to the friday commute t. the bay bridge is swamped right now, continuing to build very quickly as we're looking at more folks heading here because they cannot use the b.a.r.t. system which normally takes them under that backup through the transbay tube. no transbay service now because of a problem with overnight one. no service for the green line. no transbay service. ac transit through the backup that you saw. nl from 19th and broadway is your alternate. roadways are looking friday light. focus on the bay bridge. the blue line had delays reported. 6:21, nbc bay area responds.

>> reporter: the 49ers aren't the only team on a roll. so is mine. with touchdowns viewers like you can take to the bank. i'm investigative reporter

>> reporter: good morning. let's start with mitsi in santa rosa. she says her elderly mom's cell phone bill and data use spiked.

the bill seemed like a bad call, so mitsi threw a flag and challenged it. the phone company didn't call play ball. so mitsi asked us to referee. we flagged the company. her mom scored her $210 refund. she also got $184 credit, so in total that is a $394 win. next, to michael in san jose. he says a cell carrier was holding $352 from his dad's closed account. here is the catch. the company wasn't walking back, running back or giving back that money. michael tried the whole nine yards. the company passed. so he wrote us for some defense. then we played a little offense. the company fielded our call and goal reached. michael's dad received a full $352 refund. let's look at the scoreboard. show me the money, we have returned more than $6 million to viewers like you since our team took to the field in 2016. if your consumer issue needs a

washout. cold, freezing temperatures. do we have an update? the third rail is damaged so that's why there's no transbay service for b.a.r.t. and why the red line and green line are knocked out of service. use ac transit or the ferry. b.a.r.t. does not know when they will have this repair done but they had to shut down a portion of the track to get equipment there to repair the damage to that third rail which, of course, provides power so the trains can run. no b.a.r.t. transbay service so you will have a very big backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. later this morning you can help the people impacted by the shootings in half moon bay. >> bob, there is a vigil tonight for the seven victims. >> reporter: correct. good morning.

they'll be here at mac dutra park at 5:00 tonight and this is the place where the communities come to leave stuffed animals, flowers, messages of love and support for the seven men and women shot and killed this past monday and the one man still recovering in the hospital. yesterday friends and family of marciano martinez jimenez came to this public memorial to pray for that farm worker who was murdered earlier this week. marciano played in a band, you can see him playing the conga. always had a smile, a positive attitude. a neighbor who took english and computer classes with him at a local community college said he was always looking to be better as a farm worker, to better his life. while here at the memorial, marciano's sister-in-law sent a message to those in the bay area and back home in mexico. >> they can feel empty.

my family feel really sad, they feel really upset about this situation. >> reporter: our colleague damian trujillo learned pedro perez, the only person who has survived the shooting, underwent another surgery yesterday at stanford hospital. the mexican consulate is working with him and his family to ensure they have all the counselor help they need. now other people need your help, not only him but the people who survived this, the families impacted, so an organization called farm worker caravan is hoemding an emergency food and clothing drive for victims of the shooting and of the recent flooding. you can drop off donations between 10:00 this morning, 4:00 this afternoon at the catholic charities washington united youth center in san jose, or donate online at farmworkercaravan.com. to reiterate that vigil tonight at 5:00 here at mac dutra park in half moon bay. there will be song, there will be prayer and tri-language,

spanish and mandarin because of the victims, those are the languages they spoke. in half moon bay, bob redell, half moon bay. >> hopefully there can be some healing as well. thank you, bob. anchor janelle wang sat down for an exclusive interview with the suspect, 66-year-old chunli zhao. police say he has been talking to officers since day one but this is the only time he's spoken to a journalist. janelle says in part he told her he has regrets. >> i said, can we talk about what happened on monday? and he said yes. and i said, sources told our very longive unit you felt bullied for years, that you were treated poorly. he said that was true. he also said he work really long hours. >> the district attorney says that he will either seek life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

that decision has not yet been made because this is still the beginning of their investigation. you can hear more about janelle's interview by heading over to our website, nbcbayarea.com. later this morning we are expected to get a copy of the body camera video from the attack at the home of nancy pelosi. a judge early in the week said it would happen as soon as yesterday. the october attack sent paul pelosi to the hospital. the suspect, david depape, is facing federal and state charges. the judge also ordered the release of the 911 call and police interviews with the suspect. the former house speaker yesterday says she has no intention of watching the video herself. >> no, it would be a very hard thing to see an assault on my husband's life. he's made some progress but at least three more months before he'll be back to normal. >> now the release comes after

news groups, including nbc, petitioned for it. and despite efforts by prosecutors to keep it under wraps, as soon as we get that video we'll bring you updates on air and online at nbcbayarea.com. counting down to championship sunday. here is a live look at lincoln financial field in philadelphia. the niners leave for philly later today and while some of the 49er faithful are making that trek from the bay area -- >> that's right. as anthony flores explains, others will only have to take a little short drive from their homes to the linc. >> reporter: good morning, everyone. i'm and thony flores in philadelphia where the 49ers will take on the eagles sunday in the nfc championship game. the team arrives here in town later tonight. the faithful are already making their way to the city of brotherly love. several fans were on our flight out of sfo.

some are already in philly because they live here. these faithful fans are members of the lancaster, pennsylvania, chapter of the niners empire. >> we have fans that come from philly, fans from jersey, redding and allentown. >> reporter: they're planning a huge tailgate outside of lincoln financial field. more 49ers fans from the bay area should start arriving in philly on friday. a big pregame rally is happening on saturday. i'll be here throughout the weekend to bring you coverage leading up to the big game on sunday. the winner is headed to the super bowl. in philadelphia anthony flores for "today in the bay." niners fans, if you are a member of the faithful, be sure to take those photos and tag us. post them on twitter and you're going to tag us at nbc bay area. you just might see your photos here on "today in the bay" on monday morning. >> we want to see the face paint and all. >> i want to see it.

>> better hope it wears off by monday morning. so we're approaching the forecast today. it looks nice for this friday. it's going to be pleasant. we even saw some 70s which was comfortable and lots of sunshine. i mentioned hiking earlier. the south bay hiking forecast. we're going to keep sunny conditions throughout our daytime highs will be in the 60s and enjoy the sunshine even leading into saturday. your weekend forecast will dip when it comes to the temperatures, so today we'll be in the 60s. by saturday and sunday we do start to see the temperatures cool off in the 50s. perhaps you're heading to big sur. by saturday 57. then we start to see an increase in cloud cover. we do have a system approaching. not everybody will see a lot of rain out of this system. so let's talk about the napa valley forecast. the biggest impact for the north bay will be the cold overnight lows behind the system that

moves through on sunday. however, if you're heading to south lake tahoe, your windows of opportunity now, tomorrow, you should be okay. we have 40s in the forecast. by sunday we do have a storm rolling through later into the day will bring not only snowy conditions but also gusty winds at times up to the sierra so please be mindful of that. a quick moving system heading into monday but it is going to provide some accumulations. not as much as we saw last time but enough that it could cause some issues on the roads. speaking of the roads, let's check in with mike. the b.a.r.t. system has a major problem. an update you may have gotten wind of. a tremendous backup considering this is a friday and we had a lighter volume all around the bay folks are avoiding b.a.r.t. heading from the east bay into san francisco because the transbay tube which will take you from the west oakland area into the city is not accessible by trains. now you might have heard the transbay tube just opened. that's for trains coming over from san francisco and that

limited service means you have to scramble around on the oakland side and figure out how to link up with the rest of the system. so b.a.r.t. is still advising you avoid taking their train, use another alternate form of transportation, perhaps ac transit, the nl line over to 19th and broadway. consider that. the roadways are relatively smooth but i'm watching for the ripple to impact the bay bridge toll plaza and possibly the san mateo bridge. the bridge does look smooth now over to the peninsula side and out of san francisco smooth for a friday. something that hams on the bay area roadways or rails will impact the entire bay area. back to you, scott. coming up on "today in the bay," polls show americans are very worried about the economy, but should

(steven) every time i come to see caremore, they go above and beyond to take care of me. i feel a lot better now. i'm taking medication for what i should have been taking years ago. (vo) caremore health provides advanced primary care wherever you need it, in the hospital, at home, in our clinics, or virtually. (steven) so when i call them over a medical issue, they take care of it instantaneously. i'm not afraid to go to the doctor anymore or put off going to the doctor. (vo) call the number on your screen to learn more about medicare plans in your neighborhood that include caremore.

it is 6:43 right now, and we are seeing cold 30s up through santa rosa, sonoma, napa, palo alto 35 degrees, and we are expected to get even colder into next week, plus we're talking rain chances. full forecast coming up. and we're talking b.a.r.t., delays impacting the roadways because folks are avoiding the transbay service which doesn't work right now from oakland into san francisco. coming up we'll talk to folks from b.a.r.t. and get more detail and find out what they suspect as far as the timing on this. right now your timing will be delayed as you head to the bay bridge toll plaza. it's a lot heavier than you

expect on a typical friday. we'll show you the ripple coming up. thank you, mike. >> president biden ran down a list of accomplishments at a speech. >> as you've been saying now economic data shows something entirely different. >> we're just not seeing it in the numbers. it's totally normal to worry about the future particularly in these odd times but these numbers don't lie. we still have a ways to go on things like inflation. things are getting better. here is president biden. >> jobs -- jobs are the highest number in american history and wages are up. and they're growing faster than inflation. god willing we'll continue to do that. manufacturing jobs stronger than any time in the last 40 years. >> not only are wages going up, they're the highest they've been. a graph from the st. louis fed

showing the average american pay steady up to the right, so the data shows promise on employment at a 50-year low but polls show americans worry, which leads to strange headlines like this one. i grabbed this one off my phone. economy grows even as u.s. praises braces for recession am elaine chao is speaking out after another attack from her former boss, donald trump. chao asked us not in the media to repeat the attack, not the specific words. chao is married to republican senate leader mitch mcconnell who trump doesn't like. trump makes fun of heifer eth nis her ethnicity and name. she says asian americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation. he doesn't seem to understand that which says a lot more about him than it will ever say about

asian americans. well, looks like a pretty quiet day in washington. president trump on his way to -- president biden on his way to camp david, but we'll talk about anything that happens on facebook at scott mcgrew tv. >> scott, thank you. a time to get a look at the forecast today. >> a couple changes, rain but it's the cold overnight lows that will be the bigger headline into next week. let's get you through the weekend. look how beautiful this looks in san jose. talk about a sun rise. nice and calming for a friday morning. out there on a nice walk. enjoy it. satellite radar showing that high pressure. a couple of high clouds rolling through but for the most part will see a lovely friday afternoon. currently, though, we are cold. up in sonoma, palo alto 35. san jose in the 40s and you'll notice a pretty significant temperature difference. we don't have that flow anymore. wind speeds are calm right now. 28 degrees colder right now

compared to the past 24 hours in santa rosa. that's quite a drastic change. forecasted highs for this afternoon a few clouds rolling through aside from that mild daytime highs in san jose. 65 degrees. oakland 60 degrees. martinez 62 and let's take a look at the timing for that incoming rain. now notice saturday we stay dry. here is a time stamp up here where it will be cooler. you'll notice temperatures cool off into saturday afternoon and then into sunday, here it is. the green you see on the map a scattered rain chance. take a look. not completely widespread. not a whole lot of rain. just a couple hundredths of an inch. a lot of that will be more focused to the south near monterey, st. lucia, could see a possibility of lower elevation snow at 3,500 feet because it is a colder system. another thing you will notice, though, behind that frontal boundary is going to be the wind kickup and the drop in temperatures. as we say farewell to the month

of january which packed a punch with those atmospheric rivers we'll welcome in a cold february into sunday night in the midweek 30s, even 20s on the map. this could trigger some freeze warnings. remember during those times we do want to be mindful of the frost and, of course, your pets, your pipes and your plants through the interior valleys especially. looking ahead you'll notice a chance for rain on thursday. now the model runs are not agreeing on the timing or how much rain of that just yet but we could see the return of more rain heading into the later portion of the week if you're going to be traveling down to southern california, this will be impacting your commute sunday night into monday and sierra, expect to see snow. so you want to be careful with that. look at the cold 30s on the map expected for next week. now let's get a check of the roads with mike. shifted by the friday commute, impacted by the b.a.r.t. system issues. mostly green, lighter volume. overall throughout the bay we're

noticing more traffic heading south on 880 down to the san mateo bridge slowing across the span. more volume on a friday. i believe they've shifted away which has impacted with more traffic down to richmond and through oakland because of the problem for the transbay tube. the b.a.r.t. system has an issue from the east bay into san francisco via the transbay tube. there's a power issue with the third rail. i've been listening to the b.a.r.t. media line but we have a spokesperson for the b.a.r.t. system and, jim, thank you for joining us today, this morning, getting up early and giving us the details. an issue causing a system wide delay. what is accessible and what is not right now. >> we have major delays in all directions. we have some transbay service to west oakland but for a lot of people that doesn't really help.

we have trains going into oakland but they're turning back. what we're suggesting is to seek alternate means of transportation, ferries or buses all due to track that damaged near 12th street in an underground section of railway. we've had to shut down all of the tracks in that area so that we can get and do these major repairs safely. >> you mentioned that there is service you might hear about but it is not a viable option for the bulk of the commute from san francisco into oakland and does not go from the other direction. ac transit, the ferries are options for you. they all use the clipper card or mobile app? >> that's true. the 19th station has a direct bus that goes in and i believe you can show clipper and maybe

get a free b.a.r.t. ride on that. i'm not entirely sure. we do have a map on our website transbay alternatives and you can use our trip planner to see alternatives. we are encouraging people to try to use public transportation. just don't use b.a.r.t. for the time being. >> i hear you, jim. thank you for your attention to our station and getting back to your issue at hand which is the power and repair work going on on the observing side. avoid b.a.r.t. if possible. we usually encourage you to take mass transportation but not b.a.r.t. this morning. jim allison from b.a.r.t., a great spokesperson, thank you very much. we'll send it back over to the desk. >> thank you very much, mike. 6:51 right now. happening now the mother of a missing swimmer in pacifica is pleading police keep looking for her son. hamzah alsaudi disappeared off the coast of esplanade beach. a huge wave pulled him under.

between san francisco and oakland. they have some damage to the third rail providing power to the b.a.r.t. system on the oakland side at the oakland y and we don't know when they will have it repaired. consider b.a.r.t. out of the picture now for the time being because it is impacting the rest of the east bay and rippling out. more traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza. north 880 through oakland seeing a higher volume and building to the bay bridge. we also see a little shift, folks taking the nimitz down which is also an option from the east bay. your seven-day forecast is looking like this, mild today. saturday we'll stay sunny and you'll notice the cloud cover rolls through. a spotty rain chance, so it's not going to be a stormy sunday but it is going to be bringing a little bit of that colder air which could bring up the possibility of some of that cold freezing low 20s and 30s into monday and tuesday freeze

warnings will be in effect. >> bundle up. you don't like that. a little scowl. all right, let's go niners. we're cheering them on. hopefully monday morning when you join us for "today in the bay" we will be celebrating. >> we will. a live look at levi's stadium. let's go niners! good friday morning. bracing for a bombshell. >> the city of memphis is on edge this morning. it is january 27th. this is "today." ♪♪ murder charges. >> this was wrong. this was criminal. >> five former memphis police officers accused of brutally beating a young father, tyre nichols, after a traffic stop. body-cam footage set to be released in a matter of hours. >> from what i hear, it's going to be horrific. >> the victim's mother pleading for peace from protesters. we're live with the very latest.
