flying over sensitive u.s. military sites. after the giant white orb was spotted over the carolinas, senior defense leaders say an f-22 fighter jet fired a missile at the balloon, sending it into the ocean. joe biden talked about his decision to shoot it down. >> i ordered the pentagon to shoot it down as soon as possible. they decided without doing damage to anyone on the ground, they decided the best time to do that was over water. >> reporter: this triggered a stern response from china, insisting the flyover was an accident, and china reserved the right to take further actions, calling the move an obvious overreaction and serious violation of international practice. dr. nancy park, who teaches chinese history at cal state east bay, says the president didn't have a choice but to

shoot down the balloon. >> i think politically, it is the right decision, because not shooting it down would give the impression that it's okay to violate u.s. air space. >> reporter: she questions whether china's top leaders were behind the balloon. >> it doesn't seem to me that this balloon was sent by the top leadership. many experts are saying that it's a decision on the part of maybe lower level military. >> reporter: the incident has dealt a severe blow to already strained u.s.-chinese relations. it prompted secretary of state antony blinken to abruptly cancel the high-stakes beijing trip aimed at easing tensions. republicans are criticizing joe biden for not taking swift action. senator thom tillis tweeted, now that this embarrassing episode is over, we need answers from the biden administration on the

decision-making process. communist china was allowed to violate american sovereignty unimpeded for days. biden administration leaders say they're confident the balloon was seeking to monitor sensitive military sites. administration officials also say a second surveillance balloon from china was seen flying over central and south america. marianne favro, "today in the bay." we're going to come back locally and talk about the rain. despite it, the streets in san francisco were packed with people trying to catch a glimpse of the annual chinese new year parade, for what's billed at the largest lunar new year parade outside of asia. there were giant floats, musicians, lion dances and dragons. police were ready along the parade route, even in the parade, saying they had more staffing than any year in he cent memory. we spoke with visitors from all

over who came to watch. >> it's amazing. as a chinese, i'm really proud of my history. >> police tell us there were no issues or arrests last night. the year of the rabbit fund continues today with chinese folk dancing and entertainment from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the heart of san francisco's chinatown. warriors star steph curry limped off the court last night, and he was out for the remainder of the game. the injury happened late in the third quarter as the warriors took on dallas in san francisco. he was guarding mckinney wright when they appeared to bang knees and curry hobbledo stands. he is set to undergo an mri to determine what the injury is. he started the game with his left leg wrapped because of an injury on thursday. he has already missed 11 games

this season because of a left shoulder injury. we'll have more on the game itself coming up in sports. at 7:09, much more ahead. coming up, we take you live to coming up, we take you live to washington, c. where chuck d.

oh ms. flores, what would we do without you? leader of many, and pet wrangler too. you report to your boss, every afternoon. so beautiful. so becoming a student again might seem impossible. hello mi amor. but what if a school could be there for all of you? career, family, finances and mental health. well, it can. national university.

supporting the whole you. welcome back. please join me in welcoming moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd who joins with us a preview of today's show. thanks for joining us. i have to start with this supposed chinese spy balloon, which the u.s., as we all know, downed off the carolina coast yesterday. but not until after it flew over u.s. military assets, joe biden revealing yesterday he wanted i about it wednesday but advised to wait until it was over water so it wouldn't hit anyone on the ground. one of your exclusive interviews

today, a republican on the house intelligence committee, had tweeted he was worried the administration was not taking it seriously enough. but now that they have done something, it's resulted in a tense exchange between the two nations. what is the bigger concern here, the balloon or the relations? >> i think the relations are the bigger concern, if you will, but the balloon, i think it's symbolic, and i think you will hear that from mike turner today, he believe there is is a lack of urgency of acknowledging that the military threat from china may be more near term than we appreciate. you know, i think if you were to try to split and decipher the sort of become and forth and concerns about china, i would say democrats are more concerned about the economic threat that is china, and americans are more concerned about the military threat that is china, but they agree that china is a threat to

sort of america's ability to lead the world in one way or the other. and i think what you are hearing from turner is that line of republican criticism, they feel as if he's just not tough enough on the military front. he believes this balloon was speaking information on how we command and control our nuclear arsenal. if you look at where he says this balloon was going over, it's pretty obvious that's what they were -- they were doing there. i think the biden administration would argue that -- and i think what they are trying to say -- we were able to jam their signals. we'll get more out of this getting the way we got it than if we shot it down in the front end. i think a lot of it we will have to wait and see what we learned from this balloon, and i don't think we'll get a briefing from what they learned from this balloon. >> i suspect you're right about

that. we'll stay in the dark, so to speak. quickly, before i let you go, looking ahead to tuesday's state of the union, joe biden's approval ratings remain low. biden has a large slate of achievements. now he has a january jobs report that crushed estimates, unemployment hitting a low since 1969. how does he change the narrative, or is it just that everyone is still focused on inflation? how should he position himself going into tuesday? >> look, i think that on the economy, you know, perception always matters more than reality. that's not fair sometimes, but that is how people feel about the economy, not necessarily -- sometimes it's about having a job or not. this is not one of those times where access to jobs are how people are judging this economy. they're judging it more about how much can they spend?

so inflation has hit that hard, and we're feeling insteady post pandemic. until we feel that stability, i think that's going to have some delay in some of this accruing to joe biden's benefit. but i think the other issue here is, we're so polarized and we're so, i think, scarred still from all things donald trump and biden versus trump. i think biden is dragged down by the negative ratings of trump, as well. and i think there's an exhaustion for both of them and it doesn't help biden's numbers. >> we aired "meet the press" before the show this morning and i saw that interesting conversation about nikki haley. thanks, chuck. good to see you. "meet the press" aired before us today, but you can see it online and on peacock, on hulu, if you did miss it. again, join chuck for those exclusive interviews this morning.

and coming up in about 30 minutes, we'll talk to larry gursten and talk about the chinese spy balloon. democrats have announced it will make south carolina the first primary voting state. the dnc last night dethroned iowa, and new hampshire from leading off the presidential primary for 2024. after recommendations from joe biden, all in an effort to put more diverse voters at the front of the primary process. nevada will be next in line, and new hampshire could go on if they change a state law. however, the calendar is still not final, because it's up to the states to change their primary dates to comply. we are learning new details

about an east bay man whose body was found near pebble beach. the remains of 27-year-old zachary nelson washed ashore at sand shell. last sunday four people went diving, but only three went back. nelson was from newark, his friends tell nbc bay area that he helped launch an academy to empower jewish youth and known for going above and beyond. his family and friends are heart broken. more than 2,000 people came to his memorial earlier this week. an institution in the beauty business is closing its doors in oakland for good. yesterday was the last day for the universal beauty supply on telegraph avenue. it's been serving the community for 50 years. the store specialized in health and beauty products for black men and women. the owner hoped to pass the

business on to her daughter but she died of covid during the pandemic. >> i think that somebody like john should definitely have a key to the city, you know, and probably a street. i know that's crazy to ask, but he should definitely be acknowledged by the mayor. >> the store was the go-to place for black beauty products in all of the east bay. at 7:19, if you are looking for something to do on this sunday, we have an idea. >> good morning, kira. let's start the day with sweet news not far from oakland, the sooo chocolate festival. both sweet and savory flavors paired with wines, and spend time with the artisans and vendors, local black

earlier along king and story roads where san jose police stopped a car, then shots were fired back and forth. the suspect took off but was later found. >> the suspect shot at the officers. officers did not shoot back. one officer was struck in the leg and transported to the hospital. >> the suspect was arrested and is now facing attempted homicide charges. san jose police say they'll have more information about the shooting in the coming days. happening today, oakland police chief laron armstrong will hold a press conference regarding his request to be reinstated to the police department. last month, he was placed on temporary administrative leave following a report from a law firm that determined he mission handled two internal investigations. the report suggests opd failed to hold an officer accountable in two incidents.

according to sources within the police officer, the officer was tied to a hit and run in san francisco, and later that same officer allegedly fired his weapon inside a police station service elevator. chief armstrong will speak at a church at 1:00 p.m. today. tyre nichols' mom, whom he called out for while being beaten by police, spoke in sacramento yesterday. nichols grew up in sacramento and was known for his love of skateboarding. that's why the memorial was at a local indoor skate park where more than 300 people gathered, including family who flew in to remember him, including his brother and mother. rovon wells expressed her pain and anger over her son's death but also remembered where he was happiest. >> he always said he was free when he was on that board.

he just felt free. he didn't worry about anything. he just said his mind was free. >> skateboard legend tony hawk says he will donate half of the proceeds of autographed photos of himself and bmx rider rick thorn to a memorial fund for tyre nichols. it includes funds to build anic honor. moving you forward in the covid pandemic and new signs the end of the pandemic phase is in sight. later this month, the state of california will end its covid state of emergency. that means the federal government is expected to do the same thing in mid may. here is what it all means for nip who nodes vaccinations or treatment. >> reporter: good morning to you, kira. even after the state of california ends its covid emergency on february 28th and the federal government does the

same may 11, you can still go to your focal pharmacy or medical facility to receive a covid vaccine or medication like paxlovid, all of that still for free. however, eventually the government will no longer cover those costs and it will be covered by your private or government health insurance plans. this does not mean covid is no longer a problem, as "the l.a. times" points out, 48,000 people have died from covid in the united states since october. we spoke with dr. hong, a infectious disease specialist, who thinks the government is right to declare an end to the covid emergency, but recommends those over 65 years of age or those immunocompromised, still run out to get a booster shop. >> we're still seeing about 500 deaths a day in the u.s. we have become numb to it. but it's more than twice what the worst period of flu is in a

given year. and we're still at that level, even though things seem to be quiet in our consciousness. >> reporter: earlier this week, santa clara county end it would end its mask testing and vaccination sites by the end of this month. with the end of the emergency declaration, it is possible your insurance company may no longer have to reimburse you for those covid tests. >> thanks, bob. san jose's new mayor kicked off his term by picking up trash. it happened yesterday morning at the seven trees commune till center. when he was inaugurated, he said he wanted to give back to the community and focus on problems community members are most concerned about. so this is a ten-week mission, where he joins people from san jose to clean up their city.

mayor mahan believes this will mean a cleaner, safer place for everyone. countless families will get a shock that a fake tax return was filed in their name. you have to take action and i'll show you how. first, we are introducing you to influential african americans who left their mark on the bay area. first, we would like to highlight monia cohen, california's first african american controller. she worked as newsom's confidential secretary for two years when she was mayor of san francisco. and in 2013, she authored "the fair chance ordinance" which barred employers and landlords from asking applicants to state their criminal history on

application. wel be right back. 'l have heart failure and still experience unresolved symptoms? heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome... ...shortness of breath... ...irregular heartbeat... ...and lower back pain could mean something more serious called attr-cm a rare, underdiagnosed disease that worsens over time, so it's important to recognize the signs. sound like you? call your cardiologist and ask about attr-cm.

just about 7:42 on this sunday. if you just turned on the tv to see what's happening, we're getting started with a lot of activity. if you are driving into san francisco, you're about to see some rain out there, so drive carefully. we have storm ranger scanning the skies. let's show you where the rain is right now, just moving into the sunset across the golden gate bridge. and look at those rain rates, around three quarters of an inch an hour. so heavy down bursts are expected today that could bring hail and even some thunderstorm activity that could produce lightning. so be careful of that. and speaking of lightning, we just heard some outside our studio that might have dropped some hail. and look at the rain rates, around 0.6 of an inch an hour. so please be careful at this hour, 7:42 on your sunday.

i've seen this cell hang around gilroy for the last couple of minutes. so please be careful if you are driving down 101. and this rain today, going to come in bursts, so be careful of that. i want to help you plan your day around the bay area. you just got to bring the umbrella and the rain jacket with you. by 10:00, noticing the cell here over the shoreline, as well as over into oakland and concord at that hour. that's going to continue today, and bring with it the hosability of more hail down here in the south baby about lunchtime. we do have some pockets of clearing around southern marin, san francisco, parts of the peninsula and east bayshoreline, as well. this is what you have to be careful with on sunday, around the bay area. lighter amounts move in by about 2:30. and then we're seeing the storm exit to the south and to the east of us by about 9:30, 10:00 tonight, we'll be in store for a nice, cozy sunday night around the bay. this storm system exiting is

going to drop ourlittle bit. nevado, 53 for you there. in the sierra snow pack, we're doing very well for this time of the year, even if there is a winter storm warning up there, it's helping all of the snow pack system. it looks beautiful into the springtime. this is the best snow pack we've seen since 1995. tomorrow, cold temperatures, 30s and 40s. behind all this crazy weather, we'll see a beautiful week ahead with a chance of rain possibly as we go into valentine's day weekend. it's here already. >> i just heard best snow pack since 1995. that's amazing.

welcome back. millions of families are filing their tax returns right now, and

surprisingly, a lot of families will be declined because fraudsters filed in their name first. if that happens to you, you need to act fast. and here's how. >> reporter: here's how it happens. a bad guy files a phony federal tax return with your social security number on it, which they can get easily on the dark web. then you file for real and your return is rejected because the irs sees a duplicate. the irs says the first step is to fill out a form. of course there's a form, it's the irs. it's form 140039. download it, print it and fill it out. next, print out your return on paper. once there's an identity theft issue, you can't file electronically. then attach the form to your return and mail them according to the instruction. next, the irs will send you a

letter acknowledging it got your affidavit. then your case will be researched. what happens after the investigation? the irs says you will receive notification that your case has been resolved. after closed, you might be enrolled in the identity protection pin program. you will get a new pin each year to file, and ideally, the bad guys won't get their hands on that number. >> christopher always with the great information. thanks. it would appear that the chinese surveillance balloon floating over the united states was anything but an innocent venture that studied the weather. the department of defense noted its data gathering capabilities. but what does it mean for the u.s. and the relationship with china? and what about attitudes of china here at home?

larry gursten joins us. i touched on this briefly with chuck todd. can you paint a general picture how we got here? >> china has become a rival new york question about it. they're a huge economic and now military power. three issues come to mind. first, they are an economic power in australia, in africa, where they are investing billions of dollars to withdraw minerals, precious minerals that we use for electric batteries and other things like that. secondly, of course, there's the relationship that they have in the south pacific. the south pacific is very important. it's a major shipping channel. because it is a major shipping channel, the chinese presence -- they constructed an artificial island for military planes. and then there's taiwan, the relationship, taiwan is 100 miles away. the chinese have said since the chinese left to go to taiwan

after world war ii, that this is theirs. and the taiwanese government feels differently, and there's a tension there. you put those three things together, and we have a lot of issues with china. they have only become more explosive with this balloon. >> okay. so australia, the south pacific, taiwan. that's a lot. so what about the impact of the development of our relations with them at home? >> right. asian americans have had a hard time in this country in recent years. president trump talked about the chinese virus. that animosity toward asian americans that some people have was always bubbling below the surface has come out. we have seen hate crimes soar in san francisco, the bay area. we have also seen hate crimes soar throughout southern california. i noticed a article about gun

purchases for asian. it's something to watch for. >> that's really scary and unfortunate that they feel attacked or unsafe. what do you think we can expect in the coming days? chuck todd touched on perhaps we will never know what was in that balloon or what it gathered. >> that's a military intelligence issue that i think will work itself out one way or another. and chuck is right, we probably won't know very much. just a topic thing. i think closer to home, we've got to be careful about what happens here in the coming days, weeks, and months with respect to hate, civil liberties, for chinese americans and asian americans in general. this is tough. and the country and the government, particularly the police, need to be diligent on this. and we need to think about these relationships and perhaps think twice about the kinds of issues going on. and be careful in terms of the
