good morning. it is sunday, february 19th, 7:00, as we take this live look outside. a golden glowing sky over san jose on a very chilly bay area sunday morning. thank you so much for starting it with us on this president's day weekend. i'm kira klapper. cinthia pimentel joins us with a look at the forecast. pretty in pink i might add. >> thank you very much. i think our camera here is also pretty in pink. look at all these beautiful colors, looking like a spring palate as we see the sun rise

over san francisco. 47 for you in the city. drive a little east and 37 in concord. and you're freezing right now in dublin. we have 38 in san jose. again, very cold, freezing as you make your way into the southern valley. however, running a few degrees from 1 to 5 degrees warmer than we were on saturday as high pressure builds in over the bay area. speaking of high pressure, gorgeous temperatures to get outside today, from the mid to upper 60s. nearly 70 degrees, if not topping that in santa rosa. we are expecting changes beyond this. i'll talk about all that coming up. >> all right. we begin with breaking news this morning. police are investigating a deadly car crash in the south bay that happened just before 4:30 this morning on north bound 101 just south of san jose. you can see that red car flipped over and another car that silver

car crashed onto the shoulder. traffic was stopped, but we just learned moments ago all lanes are back open. earlier before that, a house fire in the east bay happened just before 3:00 a.m. firefighters say two people were in the home but escaped. they were taken to the hospital for their injuries. one cat was found dead inside the home, and one dog is stilt unaccounted for. the cause of that fire is still being investigated. and we are learning about more breaking news. a fatal pedestrian versus car crash in the south bay. we just learned that two lanes reopened after all of the lanes of 87 were closed while the crash was investigated. we will bring you the very latest as we learn it. and in oakland, a driver lost control and crashed into a home sparking this massive fire.

the video taken by a neighbor who rushed out to see what happened. you can see there that the car went through a wall. firefighters say the car then hit a gas main, igniting the flames. and a security camera caught what happened moments be fr this fiery crash. wow, you can see the driver appeared to lose control as the car comes down canvas drive. two adults and two children were inside the car. paramedics took the children to the hospital and are expected to be ok. pg&e crews were called out to shut off the gas. crews did have to dig up the street to find the gas transmission line. the fire was contained to that one garage. police are now searching for a man after he was caught on

camera throwing eggs at passengers on a san francisco bus. this was right after a woman recording the video you're about to see said he yelled racist slurs at her and the woman sitting next to her. both are of asian descent. we spoke to one of those women and here is her story. >> reporter: on thursday morning in san francisco, this man in the striped sweatshirt got on the 38 bus. >> the man, he had probably 48 eggs, like double packed. >> reporter: michelle young, who was in town from new york, was there, too. >> he immediately said a racial epitaph like stupid chinese, and he said it at least twice. >> reporter: he said he looked at her and the woman next to her, who was also asian american. >> unfortunately, it's not the first time i have been the victim of some kind of asian

racial hate verbiage. >> reporter: michelle said she ignored him. other passengers stepped in and told this man to stop and then -- he threw the first egg. michelle says the man in the striped sweatshirt got off the bus, threw more eggs at the open windows, which got in passenger's hair. michelle posted about this on social media and is filing reports with the san francisco police and san francisco mta. we reached out to them who referred us to this tweet saying, we are committed to doing everything we can to stop the racist attacks on the aapi community that have been on the increase over the past few years. >> if something like an egg incident can raise awareness of our daily struggle, sometimes just trying to get through our day and through public spaces, then hopefully that helps make a

change. >> reporter: san francisco muni says that any harassment or abuse against passengers or staff is utterly unacceptable. they say if you see an emergency while on the bus, do not hesitate to call 911. a deadly crash involving a tesla and a fire truck is under investigation in theest bay. it happened yesterday morning on north bound 680 in walnut creek. firefighters say the tesla hit their fire truck. the tesla driver died at the scene. the passenger in the tesla and four firefighters were taken to the hospital and have since been released. the cause of the crash isn't clear, but it is worth noting that the national highway traffic safety administration is testing how the tela auto pilot

detects vehicles parked on highways. this past week, tesla recalled more than 360,000 vehicles because of concerns with the full self-driving software. the company says it is working to deliver a software update to fix those problems. now to a dispute over a hot dog sale, sparking a brutal beating. that's what a bay area street vendor says happened to him while doing his job. and the attacks were caught on camera. >> reporter: the incident was caught on camera, and it went viral on tiktok. it happened right here in san jose a couple of days ago, and the vendor says it all started when a customer demanded a free hot dog. this is the moment that a food vendor was attacked on thursday. video shows him lying

unconscious on the pavement. raul members feeling blood on his face. the vendor says he was selling hot dogs after a concert when a customer attacked him. a bystander captured the attack. you can see a man face down on the floor. he says the man bought a few hot dogs but demanded a free one. when he refused, things got physical. he was hospitalized with a fractured nose, three loose teeth, and a bruised eye and face. he says he doesn't have health insurance, but is grateful for the public support after a witness posted the now viral clip on tiktok. now he's hoping for a speedy recovery to get back to work but admits he's afraid of another attack. a statement was issued after the incident saying in part --

>> reporter: san jose pd is still investigating the incident and looking to track that suspect. reporting in san jose, natalie vera, nbc bay area news. former president jimmy carter is receiving hospice care at his home in georgia. a statement issued by the cart e center says "after a series of short hospital stays, former u.s. president jimmy carter decided to spend his remaining time at home with family and receive hospice care instead of medical intervention. he has the full support of his family and medical team. carter, 98 years old, was diagnosed with melanoma in 2015 that spread to his liver and brain but was later declared cancer free. he was elected the 39th president of the u.s. in 1976. in 2002, he was awarded the nobel peace prize, and has long been associated with habitat for humanity. it is 7:09. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, we go live to

washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with chuck todd.

welcome back. please join me in welcoming moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd who has a preview of today's show. thanks for joining us this morning. i have to ask you about secretary of state antony blinken, who you happen to have on your show this morning. just yesterday, he met with china's senior foreign minister. i heard a little preview of your show that blinken says that foreign minister offered no apology for that chinese spy balloon. obviously, this is concerning to a lot of american people. what else is he saying about that meeting? >> well, he said that they levelled a new charge at the chinese, having to do with

warning them to not give lethal aid to russia for the war in ukraine. and they claim they have new evidence, new concerns that they might do that. china has been supporting russia's war indirectly, buying cheap oil, deepening export ties. but they have been staying away from direct military support. he is alleging that china may change its posture on that. i pressed him hard about evidence on that, and they didn't provide any. but they said they were sharing it with allies, and perhaps we will see that through the week. but it feels as if whatever the administration was saying early in the week they wanted to dial things back, not call this a cold war, this is not what's going on here. that meeting with china did not go well in munich, and it looks like we ratcheted things up, accusing them of helping russia, that amps it up. >> that definitely sounds

concerning. so basically china, if i understand correctly, china is saying stop pressuring us to apologize for that balloon. so there's a lot of back and forth. >> yeah. >> all right. chuck. >> like the old cold war days. >> yes, sounds scary indeed. we look forward to your pressing secretary of state blinken on that interview in a little bit. thanks for joining us this morning, chuck. we hope you stick right here for the rest of "today in the bay" and then "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. he'll have that interview with secretary of state antony blinken, as well as an interview with former governor larry hogan of maryland. they are going to talk about his potential run against donald trump and nikki haley. tune in at 8:00 a.m. right after this news cast. coming up, we'll talk to nbc bay area and political analyst

larry gerston and will say whether or not nikki haley can gather enough support to beat president trump. there is a new twist in san francisco's effort to stop sex workers on cat street in the mission district. last week, san francisco set up roadblocks on the street before 18th and 22nd. the supervisor hillary ronan requested the blockades after receiving numerous complaints. crews replaced the wooden barriers with concrete ones yesterday. now the firefighter's union is raising concerns about emergency access. this tweet reads in part --

in another tweet, the firefighters asked city leaders to work with them on a solution. we did reach out to supervisor ronan and her office for comment but haven't heard back. that north bound 680 road closure continues through today. this is the second of three road closures. 680 is closed between coupman road. crews are repaving the road so if you're planning to drive north, if you have to, caltrans recommends taking 880. 680 is set to reopen at 5:00 a.m. tuesday just in time for work to resume. another closure to remember this weekend is along b.a.r.t.'s yellow line. crews are updating the tricks, so you will need to get on a transfer bus to bridge your

ride. it is free. the tracks are set to reopen tomorrow. another closure is planned for april. some parents may already be familiar with the term social emotional learning. but with the return to in-person schooling, more educators are calling it critical to a student's success. the skills have nothing to do with reading, writing or arithmetic, but instead it's concepts like empathy and goal setting. kris sanchez has more on how it's helping to boost test scores. >> reporter: good morning. as we saw students returning to classroom post pandemic, we saw a lot were struggling and not just academically. students were having trouble feeling a sense of belonging because of the years of distanced learning. teachers and families here found that taking the time to grow social emotional connections

helps students feel better and eventually perform better on tests. the principal says taking the time to i dress student's social emotional learning boosted reading scores by 13%, and math scores by 7%. >> having conflicts with others, how do they resolve those and how do they approach challenges and defeat and how do we develop the growth mindset? so that was our work for last year. of course, teaching, reading and math alongside it. >> we know that students experienced a lot of trauma. so it's helping teachers and school leaders to understand the language of trauma, and how to identify it. >> the nonprofit says you can support your child's social emotional learning at home by asking them to teach you how to do things that reinforces what

they know. when your child is working on homework, ask like what strategies they use or how they see using what they're learning in the real world. and partner with your child's school and teachers. they say that part is critical. according to the national education association, some activists have taken aim saying it's indoctrination. but the national education association points out that the research shows positive test outcomes and that have a lot of support among parenting. >> thank you, kris. as we continue to honor black history and discover black heritage, assembly member alex lee and state senator aisha wahab hosted the black history celebration yesterday in fremont. they honored six community members who might not otherwise be acknowledged for their work. >> acknowledging those change makers in our community that

don't have a platform. >> among the honorees, the fremont chief police. wonderful. it is just shy of 7:20 on your sunday morning. let's chick in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. >> i hope people at home are enjoying that warm cup of coffee. but it is very chilly, as we deal with the clear skies around the bay area with the gorgeous sun rise. beautiful downtown san jose. and for your holiday monday, president's day, we'll start out with cold temperatures in the morning and then up to nearly 70 degrees. behind that, we're going to be tracking some major changes ahead as we go into tuesday. by the middle of the week, it will feel like a blustery wintery couple of days. let's check outside here in mill valley.

i used to run out there, and it's gorgeous. if you want to start your day later around 2:00, you could be maybe lose one of those layers. 60s for you there in the mill valley. high pressure builds along the bay area. we have 68 degrees in santa rosa. then tomorrow, temperatures take a bump. 71 in santa rosa. we have 69 in fairfield. gorgeous day at the coastline. 69 degrees for san jose. then you want to avoid the coastline, as we move into tuesday. a look at the temperatures drop from 5 to 10 degrees cooler, as we await the next cold front in the bay area to wrap up february and start march. yes, we are already done with february, and we'll see this cold blast, the jet stream is moving along the west as we move into wednesday and thursday. that's going to bring kind of like a canadian air conditioning to the bay area, which we really

don't want. at least i know several people don't, and these gorgeous temperatures are screaming spring, but we will have to deal with winter a little longer. here are the wind speeds on tuesday morning. hold on to your hats, because we're seeing from 30 to 40-mile-per-hour winds out there, continuing as we move into the day on wednesday, as well. here in the south bay, we will feel those wind gusts, making the temperatures feel even colder before we get into the thick of the coldest temperatures. as we go into the outlook for that rain, it's putting itself together, so we're not getting an estimate as to how much. but it could drop the snow levels around 1500 feet. even around mt. tam around 2,000 feet could see light snow. so feeling very blustery, but we might see a beautiful dusting of snow on the bay area mountain tops. prepare for the second half of the week.

i can't stress that enough. look at the highs, as i take it into the inland seven-day forecast. 49 degrees on thursday with those chilly morning lows. >> my older son is very focused on the return of the rain. he wanted to get home last night in time to avoid the rain. and i'm like, no, no. it's not coming until wednesday or thursday. he's ready. it is 7:23 right now. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a bay area native wins the nba three-point contest. and the d-league player that's only played two nba games stole the show last night with his performance in the slam dunk performance. it was unreal. sports is next.

good morning, everyone. i'm anthony flores. a special night at the tak. the sharks celebrating black

minutes from salt lake city. >> i did it two times before. they say third time is a charm. so it's perfect situation. i'm happy i could do it back here in utah. in the slam dunk contest, mcmcclung put on a show. he's the g-league player that signed a two-way contract with the philadelphia 76ers. if you are wondering, he's 6'2" tall. he had two perfect scores of 50 in the finals. look at him get up. that's a look at

sharp wire pokes his lip, hurts bad can't handle it. he'd be feeling fine, with invisalign. invis is drama free. less painful than braces. invisalign

glowing sun rise illuminates the city skyline. thank you so much for starting your sunday morning with us. again, i'm kira klapper. cinthia pimentel joins us with a look at the forecast. i was just captivated by the city's skyline. >> i didn't know if you could fit any more adjectives in there. crystal clear as we begin this sunday morning around the bay area. beautiful in san francisco right now at 46 degrees. bundle up and crank up the heater, because these cool temperatures will be with us a little longer. we have 40 degrees in hayward and freezing as we make our way into gilroy. let's go into the east bay. seeing that beautiful sun rise over dublin, 34 degrees, warming up into the 50s by 10:00. 2:00, maybe take a hike, go around town, do some shopping. it will be nice, in the mid 60s.

i want to draw our forecast to what's happening in the west with that cold air blast. all that is coming up. >> we'll see you soon. we begin with breaking news this morning. police are investigating a deadly car crash in the south bay. you can see that red car overturned, and another car, a silver one, crashed onto the shoulder. this happened just before 4:30 this morning on north bound 101, south of story road in san jose. traffic was stopped all morning, but we learned lanes just have been reopened. and earlier this morning, a house fire in the east bay that happened just before 3:00 this morning. firefighters say two people were inside the home but escaped. they were taken to the hospital for injuries. one cat was found dead inside the home. one dog is still unaccounted for. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. and yet another deadly crash

in the south bay. this one a pedestrian versus a car. it happened on highway 87 in san jose early this morning. all lanes are now reopened after police wrapped up their investigation. we will bring you more information as it becomes available. police are investigating a shooting in a typically quiet east bay city. it happened around 11:00 last night on water stone place inside the mill creek apartment complex in san ramone. police have only confirmed that a shooting took place. the condition of the victim or victims is unknown at this time. the scene is currently still under investigation. and in oakland, a driver lost control, crashing into a home and sparking this house fire. this video was taken by a neighbor who rushed out to see what happened. in this next video, you can see a car went through a wall.

firefighters say the car hit a gas main, igniting those flames. a security camera caught what happened moments before that fiery crash. take a look. wow, that speeding car appears to lose control as the car comes down campus drive in oakland. neighbors say they saw two adults and two children inside the car. paramedics took the children to the hospital and they are expected to be okay. pg&e crews were called out to shut off gas in that area. just that one home was evacuated. crews did have to dig up the street to find the gas transmission line. the fire was contained to that garage. police in san francisco are now searching for a man after he was caught on camera throwing eggs at passengers on a muni bus right after a woman recorded

video and said he yelled racist slurs at her and the woman sitting next to her. we have video from one of those passengers that says it happened thursday morning on the 38 bus. the man in the striped shirt with the backpack repeated racist slurs. he then started throwing eggs at them. here is one of the passengers who says she was targeted. >> unfortunately, it's not the first time i have been the victim of some kind of asian racial hate verbiage. >> that woman says she's filing reports with the fmta and san francisco police. sfmta said they are doing everything to stop racist attacks on the aapi community. today marks 81 years since the executive order by then

welcome back. microsoft is putting some limits in police when it comes to its ai chat bot after some unsettling conversations with the ai. some beta testing found the chat bot gave some perplexing answers. the chat bot talked about violence, love, and insisted it was right, even when it factually was not. this also follows a "new york times" report in which a reporter said the chat bot declared its love for him, and insisted he did not love his wife. microsoft says it's now going to limit sessions to no more than 50 questions a day and no more than five answers per question. longer conversations can "confuse the chat bot." last week, nikki haley announced her candidacy for the 2024 republican nomination, with

a veiled swipe at joe biden. the 51-year-old former governor and u.n. ambassador under donald trump said it was time for a generational change in washington. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us. great to see you, larry. does nikki haley -- okay, i should preface this with the fact that this is just the beginning. i'm sure there will be many more republicans announcing their candidacy to come. but how does nikki haley fit the bill for what republicans are looking for? >> good morning, kira. you're right, this is just the beginning, and it's hard to believe since we just got out of another election, we ore starting to work on the next one. look, we're going to see a lot of characters running for the republican nomination, no question. it's open for them. we know about trump, of course. now we're seeing others. nikki haley is the first one to announce. she brings two very important

aspects to her taste, if you will, that will really make her a little different than anybody else. we're talking about her gender, we're talking about her race, being a person of color, being a woman. these things are not found very often when it comes to serious presidential candidates for the republican party. you know, these things become important. particularly since the republicans have not done well with women and people of color. you start with people of color, for example, and you see that latinos, blacks, asians, all of these folks have not voted republican in proportion to their race and to who they are. and because of that, it's been difficult for republicans to get over the hump and win that election. >> i want to go back just to what you touched on. people might not actually know that nikki haley was born to immigrant parents from india. her birth name, i hope i don't

want to ruin this, and as you mentioned, republicans have not done well with females and non-whites. so how do you think those attributes affect her chances? >> that's a good question. when you -- she says, i'm different. and she's right. she's different. the question is, will she be able to draw republicans? when it comes to the issues, she's there. she's -- as far as conservative republicans there, she's conservative on taxes, she's anti-abortion, as anti-abortion as any person can be. she claims she brought in 85,000 jobs, pro death penalty, wants tighter voter restrictions and wants to control, interestingly enough, immigrants at the border. these are all red meat issues for republicans. these are the kinds of things that republicans want to hear about.

now, she is a person of color. will these things attract more voters or will they repel voters in here's what we need to realize when it comes to minorities in this country. their percentages are growing. minorities were 28% of the vote this last time. you know what? 12 years ago, they were 23%. so must bes in some way or another are going to have to find a way to embrace the fact that there are people who are not white, not male, who need to be an important part of their party. there's the data we were talking about a moment ago. latinos, only 32% voted for trump. blacks, 12%. asians 31%. that's not going to get it. you can add the white vote, and by the way, when we talk about women, women are not that friendly with republican party. 44% voted last time, but 55%

voted for biden. that is a gender gap. so what nikki haley is saying is, get off the past, turn the page. we talked about that veiled swipe about biden's age. look at somebody younger, look at somebody of a different color and race and gender and realize that i bring things to you that have not gone well for your party, our party, in the past. it's a very dynamic candidacy. whether it gets over the hump, i don't know. but it's a very dynamic candidacy. to be fair, she represents something that republicans have not done well with in the past. >> larry, thank you so much for that insight. i'm sure we'll talk about this again. see you next week. it is 7:53. up next, a quick look at the top stories, including breaking news in the south bay. we hav
