good morning. it is sunday, january 26th. we are taking a live look outside over oakland. a little bit of cloud cover there. another chilly morning.

we want to thank you so much for starting it with us. kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. how's it looking out there? it's looking much better than yesterday. we're starting to see some of those clouds parting ways through san jose, parts of walnut creek, and there in san francisco looks gorgeous, most of us starting off in those 40s. so that's a bit of a change compared to the 30s that we've dealt with this week. we are looking into more of a clear mode for today, but notice the flag there. breezy at times as this system continues to make its way down south. now, what will settle in will be some cold mornings ahead. we are going to go back down into the low 30s, possibly some upper 20s, with a freeze watch in effect as we get the workweek started and into the later part of next week, i'm also tracking even more rain chances that could hit just about everybody this time, compared to yesterday's little rainmaker. we'll talk about that coming up in about 15 minutes. cara. all right, cynthia, thanks. we begin this morning

with a bay area connection to president donald trump's campaign promise of mass deportations. the coast guard is now being used to fly undocumented immigrants out of the country, and the efforts are being led by the 11th district, based in alameda. the coast guard has already conducted several operations out of san diego. the planes flew the unauthorized immigrants to texas in coordination with u.s. customs and border protection. from there, the coast guard says the department of defense will transport them internationally. in his first week back in office, the president signed a slew of executive orders on immigration, declaring an emergency on the u.s. southern border, as well as seeking to stop children born in the u.s. to some immigrants from gaining automatic american citizenship. aederal judge has temporarily blocked that order. meanwhile, attorneys for both undocumented immigrants and those with protected status are saying their clients are petrified about what could happen to them. as today in the bay alyssa goard

reports, those fears are leading to a rush on passport applications at the bay area post offices. it's also a long line of people saturday at the robertsville post office in san jose, jonathan got here before 6 a.m. and has been waiting hours for a walk in passport appointment. there's only 15 spots that are available towards the public for walk ins on saturdays, and i got 19, which is kind of frustrating. this man just got his permanent resident card and is trying for the second day in a row to get a walk in slot for a passport, so i went online to see if i can book an appointment, but everything was takenen for the next four weeks. there is definitely an increase in processing time frames for organizations that do immigration work. passport agencies that process passports, initial and renewals. castorina says many of hercia clients are eager to get their documents, including passports, in order, but face delays. all

of that is a consequence of the current policies of the administration. people are afraid of the enforcement activities that want to have proof of their legal status. castorina says even those who have citizenship or protected status want to have documentation on hand in case they get detained. i think it would be advisable right now for even u.s. citizens or lawful permanent residents to have a passport card, a passport book, or their green card on them at all times. at the very least, have a picture of that so that a nice officer could look up at a moment's notice. attorney andrew neukom says he's not surprised people are rushing to get their documents in order. people are really terrified to really go outside of their homes, and especially even since, you know, the ice raids started prior to trump even taking office. but especially now, while newcomb and castorina wait to see how the trump administration chooses to proceed. they're encouraging people to keep their documents up to date and readily

available. alyssa goard today in the bay. also yesterday, more than 250 service members arrived at fort bliss near the southern border in el paso, texas. an initial deployment of troops went to the border on thursday. this all, of course, coming after the pentagon announced 1500 troops were being sent to el paso and san diego to help implement trump's executive order on border immigration. back here locally. in other news now there are new developments in the massive budget problem at a bay area college. sonoma state university's recent decision to cut its entire athletics program has now led to a civil rights complaint filing with the u.s. department of education's office for civil rights. a grassroots organization called save seawolves athletics filed the complaint. the group is made up of students, alumni and staff, and sonoma community members. it claims sonoma state's decision to cut all of its athletics

unfairly impacts student athletes from minority backgrounds. they are demanding transparency in the decision making process. the university had said it was forced to make the cuts to athletics and other programs, as it faces a nearly $24 million budget deficit. we have reached out to sonoma state for comment. we have not yet heard back. is silicon valley's economic growth slipping, or are other regions across america just catching up to us? a new report shows the valley's economic ranking in the u.s. has plummeted. our today in the bay marianne favro explores why. ranked the number one economy. ten years ago, the san jose metropolitan area is now ranked 108th among the 200 largest metro areas in the nation. that's according to the global think tank the milken institute, which also found silicon valley dropped 64 points compared to last year. the cycle is there, and yes, it's alarming. there is

no question about it. but tech expert ahmad bonafe says the report doesn't reflect recent job growth in the region, especially in ai. the metrics used is 2023 and in 2023, we have something close to, you know, 30,000 people lost their jobs. and in 2022 we have about 10,000. so we're talking about a big number of people. they actually get laid off in that. and the companies in 2023, they're just trying to understand what is this ai? they're trying to figure out what would be the applications of ai. he also says the region may have dropped in rankings, in part because one of the metrics studied was housi affordability. the ceo of silicon valley leadership group says moving forward, it's imperative the region develop business friendly policies, adding, to maintain a competitive edge, we must double down on our core strength, unparalleled access to top tier talent, abundant and world class institutions of higher learning.

along with san jose's steep decline, the milken report shows san francisco dropped 102 rankings to 126 this year. but some experts say despite the decline, the economic future in the bay area still looks bright. it is a lot of push for the, you know, for the ai to be here in silicon valley. the money is still here. the vcs, you know, you know, last year, 20, 24, 57%, which is about $90 billion of the funding from vcs for startups happened here in the bay area. the report also didn't take into account upcoming events, such as the super bowl in 2026 that will also bolster the economy. marianne favro today in the bay are honoring a bay area icon who fought the internment of japanese americans during world war two. yesterday marked the 10th annual fred korematsu day of civil liberties. fred korematsu was

born and raised in oakland. in 1942, when the u.s. army forced 120,000 japanese americans into internment camps during world war two. korematsu refused. he was ostracized, imprisoned, and then in 1944, the u.s. supreme court ruled against his case. decades later, that conviction was overturned, and korematsu would later be awarded the presidential medal of freedom. yesterday, the asian law alliance held the annual event to recognize kororematsu and to educate others. and this is about all of us. this is about being an american, but also our rights and the inhumanity that was also served against anybody of japanese ancestry that were forcibly removed from their homes on the west coast and put in these american concentration camps, and they lost everything. and we keep repeating those those mistakekes in history. in 2010, california declared

january 30th fred korematsu day of civil liberties and the constitution. it's the first statewide day in the u.s. history named after an asian american. nine past the hour. much more ahead on your sunday. on today in the bay. coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with kristen welker, who has a preview of this week's (vo) with fargo, your virtual assistant from wells fargo, you can pick up the tab, even when you forget your wallet.

i'm wondering the feedback on how this new white house is reshaping the politics of the border. hi, kyra. it's so great to be with you. i think you hit the nail on the head. the president is trying to send a signal. he wants to move immediately on some of these campaign promises, including and especially the border, which is front and center. so he signed a slew of executive actions on day one, a lot of them related to the border, which give authorities more power to actually detain and deport those who are here and who are on documented. so that's a key part of my focus with my conversations with senator lindsey graham and senator adam schiff. the question is, will congress fund these priorities? that's where i think kira you're going to see all of the action now, senator lindsey graham saying he can't do this without money. so he thinks that the house and the senate should act immediately on his border

priorities to the tune of about $100 billion just to deport 1 million people. so it gives you a sense of the size and the scope of what will be needed to continue along this path. and i think that's where the debate is going to unfold. and the other piece of the debate, will democrats actually work with republicans on this? because obviously they are in the minority. is this an area where they're going to take a message from the voters and say, look, they did elect president trump. this is one of his key priorities. we're going to find an area of bipartisanship here. so a lot of outstanding questions. but again, i think all of the action is going to move to capitol hill kyra. and interesting. going back a second that you mentioned, lindsey graham, because i saw a preview of quite surprising thing he said to you this morning on your show. so we hope our viewers stay tuned for that. kristen, as always, thanks for joining us this morning and we hope you join christian for this morning's meet the press. she will have an interview with republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina. you'll definitely want to watch what he

says. and an exclusive interview with democratic senator adam schiff of california. if you just stick right here with us for today in the bay, meet the press is on at 8 a.m. right after our newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now, as always, we will talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at president trump's recent visit to the los angeles wildfire zones and his meeting with governor newsom and their interesting relationship, and the request to get federal aid to southern california. meanwhile, back here locally, thousands of people came to san francisco yesterday to protest abortion for the 21st annual walk for life west coast. abortion pills, baby. abortion is abortion. a massive rally at civic center plaza brought pro-life supporters and keynote speakers. the thousands in the crowd then walked more than a

mile down market street to the embarcadero, as it does every year, the walk for life drew counter-protesters, who held up signs in support of the right to choose, saying they support women's rights, reproductive rights, including the right to abortion. in other news, lunar new year is on wednesday. people in san francisco's chinatown are making sure they have everything they need to ring in the year of the snake. we went to the flower market fair. it was busy yesterday. people were picking up their fresh flowers, their fruits and candies to put in their home to welcome the new year. the market also featured a procession through chitown featuring those beloved lion dancers, drummers and giant walking puppets. whatever they bring home today is also bringing a lot of has a lot of thoughts into it, because it's supposed to bring fortune and luck and everythin that is good about the year of the snake back to their home. mayor daniel,

lori and other city leaders led the procession through chinatown. the market was meant to be a preview before the larger chinese new year parade next month. i believe it's the day after valentine's day. the flower market will be open again this morning at 9 a.m, and san its 15th annual black historyed month and lunar new year celebration. it's a major community event that puts a spotlight on diversity in that neighborhood. it has a large asian and black population. this year, organizers of the celebration sought to strengthen their ties across their cultures and to stand united in what they say are uncertain times. with president trump's recent series of executive orders, including those challenging birthright citizenship and dei initiatives. bayview neighbors tell us they are coming together to support one another because we don't know what the new president and the new the new government. w

don't know what's up. so all we can do is just just hope and pray that things turn out for the better. but events like this bring us more together to support support for each other. it's important that people know that they that they have people who actually care about them genuinely, with no strings attached, you know, just want you to come have a good time, enjoy yourself and know where you can go to get the support that you need. so as we just mentioned, lunar new year is on wednesday, january 29th. in just a few days after that, black history month officially starts on february 1st. now to this new place for kids and families to play in the south bay. it is designed for everyone, regardless of age or ability. the nonprofit magical bridge foundation unveiled its new inclusive playground yesterday. this is in mountain view. it's the sixth magical bridge playground in the bay area. this one is located in rengstorff park, next to the mountain view community center. it is designed to be accessible for any

physical or mental ability. those are really, really beautiful parks. my kids love playing at those. time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. maybe a better day for a park date today? i think so. much better. there could be just a little bit of some water droplets on the slide, but nothing. you can't move away with your elbow. so bring a towel to every park. she's such a mom. good one too. yeah, much better day. let's stay there in mountain view. if you want to go check out that park and bring everybody in the family. we are starting off a bit cloudy this morning. low 40s, but then into the afternoon. we do need a jacket though, as we're only going to hover there at about 57 degrees. so the early morning clouds that you're seeing out your window right now, part of the system that's continuing to make its way south, pushing those rain and even some snow showers through the southern sierra. what we're also left with is those really gusty winds. i mean, look at mount diablo, but up into mount saint helena, we are looking at those gusts at around 40 miles an

hour. and that should continue throughout the day as we completely get rid of this system. and we should see more of that sunshine. putting it back into our sunday plans. a few lingering clouds there through the mid-morning hours. but then i think our sunset is going to be absolutely beautiful. if you capture good shots, make sure to send them to me. i'm going to be back tonight and maybe we'll put your pictures on air. our temperatures, like i mentioned, not going to break out of the 50s today, maybe some 60s. let's look at you, hayward. and up there towards santa rosa. everybody for some jacket weather with a high only of about 59 degrees down here in san jose. now, as i mentioned at the top of the hour, we are going to be in for some of our colder mornings. the way that this system is pushing on through the way the winds are going to die down is going to leave us with a lot of cooling. that's going to happen in the overnight hours. so just about everybody will be under this freeze. watch upper 20s to some mid 30s. some hypothermia risk could be in there if you are working out there in the elements. so just bundle up, cover all that exposed skin and

the pets. remember those. the plants and the pipes. just cover them and get ready. the mornings of course, cold will be back into our pattern where we have those stunning days filled with sunshine through at least the middle part of the week. but here's where it gets a little bit more interesting, and where we could all tap into some more rainfall rates as we go on and take this long range into the second half of the week, i am looking at one of the systems tapping into more of that pacific moisture compared to the track that it took this weekend from the inland direction. now, this could bring us some rain here as we go on into maybe friday, saturday, and maybe even on into our sunday plans with a chance of some more sierra snow now, while we are still a couple of days out from this, the timing and the totals of everything still working its way into the picture. the picture for the 7-day forecast goes like this. some breezy conditions, partly cloudy skies and 50s to low 60s in our inland valleys. really not going to break out of

them throughout the rest of the week. frosty freezy mornings ahead. so that might make getting out of bed in the mornings and getting to work a little bit difficult. you know, as we get monday started and into the second half of the week, chinese lunar new year there on wednesday in the city looks great. but then we bring out those umbrellas for the weekend celebrations with the rain returning. glad the rain is holding off for wednesday. all right cynthia, thanks 21 past the hour. there is much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up. the warriors falling to lebron james and the lakers steph curry really shouldering the blame for theoss. we'll l

it takes a rebel to make something beautiful. beauty takes courage. it's an act of joy. so resist the ordinary. and embrace the wow.

at floor & decor. i will never forget the picture that i have, i'm the only one that's not smiling. even though i'm with my close friends, i felt alone. i didn't feel pretty, i didn't feel confident. when i got invisalign, i built my confidence. it was the best investment that i could do. take that up a little bit higher. you should feel that, like, right back here. oh, yeah, i felt that! good, that is so much better than last week. thanks, i've been doing 'em every night while i'm watching tv. - oh, what are you watching? it's a mystery. high quality care that meets you where you are. on the eve of one of the biggest days of the nfl season, the nba, with a marquee matchup between two of the game's greatest players, lebron james and stephen curry. the warriors taking on the l.a. lakers at chase center. we know curry can shoot the three ball. he can also handle the rock. check it

out. nice handles and the lay in. he had 13 points before the break, but was held scoreless in the second half. james, 40 years old, still able to take defenders off the dribble. he had 25 points and 12 assists. anthony davis can score inside and out. he dominated with 36 points and 13 rebounds. the lakers beat the warriors 118 to 108. the dubs fall a game under 500 for the season. after a cold second half shooting night by stephen curry. in a game where i play like that, it's going to be hard for us to win. so, you know, at the end of the day, you got to make adjustments, find space and, you know, knock down the shots that you're supposed to. and i didn't do that tonight. college hoops cal taking on miami in berkeley. the golden bears were seconds away from victory. then matthew cleveland nails a three to tie it with a second remaining. cal almost wins at the buzzer. oh,

off the rim. they head to bonus ball. cal pulls away in the ot. jovan blacksher with the dagger. the golden bears win it 98 to 94 on the farm. stanford taking on florida state late in the first half. isaiah sellers hits the triple. the cardinal have an eight point lead at the break. more of the same in the second half. this time sellers going strong to the rack. he had a career high 27 points. the cardinal beat the seminoles 7871. stanford improves to 11 and one at home this season. sharks on the attack again. mario ferraro. here's smith. he's. will smith with his eighth goal of the season, giving the sharks a 2 to 1 lead. but then the panthers just dominated the game. they scored three in the first and four more times in the second period. florida beats san jose 7 to 2. batter up. the orange and black taking over the south bay with a stop in

downtown san jose for fan fest. it's part of their northern california tour. they're also headed to sacramento and then oracle park. hundreds of fans showed up to meet some of the players, including one of the newest giants shortstop, willy adames, and a potential pitching star, hayden birdsong. fans are the fun part. it's obviously we go out there with 40,000 fans every night and it's you don't get to see all of them here. you get a little one on one action with some of them and kind of kind of cool to get to meet some of them. i'm new here. you know, i want to get to know them and i want them to get to know me. and i think that's, you know, one of the reasons that i'm here today and, you know, i'm looking forward to be there for them. the giants will play their first spring training game in four weeks. that's a look at your morning sports i'm anthony flores for today in the bay. marking our calendars anthony thanks. 727 right now we have much more ahead on today in the bay. president trump's cabinet picks being sworn in, overshadowing a purge of

inspectors general. what this means for the administration in the president's first week back in office. plus, anxiety high as the trump administration ramps up its crackdown on unauthorized immigrants. key steps experts say you should take even if

good morning. it is sunday, january 26th. it is 729 on your sunday morning. as we take this live look outside of the transamerica pyramid, clear enough to see all the way back to the golden gate bridge. a little bit of cloud cover, but that nice pink glow. we want to thank you so much for starting your morning with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. another cold one, but maybe not as cold and really no chance of sprinkles. so we're in for a better day. it's already good with that look of the

beautil cotton candy skies over the city. we go up into santa rosa area. not bad for our morning lows, mid 40s compared to the 30s that we've been talking about. also similar feel out there towards walnut creek, but a bit breezy though. those winds out of the north at around 12 miles an hour and also a breezy situation to start our day there through san francisco in the upper 40s. san jose right now. also some gorgeous views. it was gloomy here yesterday. not going to be the case today. we have a beautiful day to celebrate the lunar new year here at the grand century mall. 12 to 8 today. do bring a jacket though. temperature is going to feel on the cooler side at 60 degrees. we'll enjoy more days like this, but some bitter cold mornings as we start our workweek. i'll show you that coming up in about ten minutes. kira. all right, cynthia, thanks. we want to give you this live look at the white house this morning in d.c. both sides of the aisle are expressing their opposition to what happened on friday night when president trump fired a dozen independent watchdogs from

various agencies. that news, overshadowed by the swearing in of former fox news host pete hegseth to lead the pentagon and south dakota governor kristi noem to head the department of homeland security. nbc's yamiche alcindor is traveling with the president in nevada. president trump speaking to supporters in las vegas to celebrate the historic first week in the white house. this is the senate, confirmed pete hegseth as secretary of defense and kristi noem as homeland security secretary. pete hegseth got approved, and kristi noem just got approved. governor, she's going to keep it back in d.c. hegseth was sworn in at the white house. mr. president, thank you very much. to the american people. we have your back. the vice president votes in the affirmative, and the nomination is confirmed. last night, vice president j.d. vance had to cast a tie breaking vote after three republican senators voted against his nomination. it was just the second time in history a cabinet vote needed a tie breaker. hegseth got the job

despite a number of controversies, including his former sister in law, danielle hegseth, saying in an affidavit his behavior made his ex-wife samantha fear for her safety. after the senate vote, danielle released a statement saying, quote, what happened today will make women who have experienced abuse and mistreatment even less forthcoming. hegseth repeatedly denied all of these allegations, and samantha has said there was no physical abuse during their marriage and criticism from both sides of the ais after the president late friday, according to a senior white house official, fired at least 12 inspectors general tasked with monitoring their agency for fraud, waste and abuse. interior ig mark lee greenblatt was one of the agency watchdogs fired. who does the president appoint in the place of the ig's that he's removed? are they going to be the taxpayers representatives inside the federal agencies, or are they going to be president trump's representatives inside

requires the white house to give congress a 30 day notice before firing an ig, and provide substantive reasons. that was yamiche alcindor reporting for us back here in the bay area. anxiety is high for many following president trump's executive orders targeting immigration and citizenship. immigration attorneys say that both undocumented immigrants and those with protected status in the u.s. are concerned for what could happen to them. they say their clients are seeing delays in getting documentation like passports, and that could be contributing to long lines at passport offices like this post office. yesterday at local post offices, we found the soonest appointment you can get is about a month out. people have been showing up hours before opening for a chance at a walk in appointment. immigration attorneys tell us their clients have been eager to get their documents in order, and are getting caught up in nothing but delays. all of that is a

consequence of the current polici of the administration. people are afraid of the enforcement activities and want to have proof of their legal status. the attorneys we spoke with are advising their clients with protected status to keep their documents up to date and keep them readily available, potentially carrying them with them. yesterday, more than 250 service members arrived at fort bliss, near the southern border in el paso, texas. an initial deployment of troops went to the border on thursday. this all coming after the pentagon announced 1500 troops were being sent to el paso and san diego to help implement president trump's executive order on border immigration. new this morning, south korea's prosecutors have indicted impeached president yoon suk yeol on charges of leading an insurrection. he imposed martial law last month,

you might recall, and yoon rescinded his martial law one day after lawmaker law voters, lawmakers voted down that decree. he was then impeached by parliament and suspended from his duties. if convicted, he could face years in prison for his martial law decree, which prosecutors say sought to ban political and parliamentary activity and control the media. turning now to tomorrow, which marks international holocaust day. some of the very few remaining survivors of auschwitz will gather at the site of the nazi concentration camp as the world marks the 80th anniversary of its liberation. in the final months of world war two. nbc's jay gray is at auschwitz. well, on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of this death camp. there are no tours today, no outsiders allowed inside this sacred ground, instead reserved today for those who escaped the

survivors getting some private time inside, many with their families. tomorrow, crowds will again gather here, including dignitaries, leaders from around the world to listen as those survivors share memories of their horrific time here. around 50 have made the trip, that number dropping significantly from five years ago, many stressing it's important to share firsthand the accounts of what happened here while thehey can, as well as to remember more than a million of their fellow prisoners who never had the opportunity to leave. that's the latest from here at auschwitz. i'm jay gray, nbc news. back here in the u.s, the trump ministration is reportedly hammering out a new deal for tiktok, and it involves tapping software company oracle. the deal was first reported by npr and later reuters. it would allow tiktok's china based owner, bytedance, to keep a minority stake in the company.

but the app's algorithm, data collection and software updates would be managed by oracle. last weekend, tiktok was temporarily offline, as we all know when a law saying the app must be sold to an american company on national security grounds or be banned took effect. president seeking to delay that law for 75 days. despite those reports, though, the president said he has not spoken to oracle's larry ellison about buying tiktok, but says he's talking to, quote, numerous people to secure a deal. oracle has not commented on those reports. just about 38 past the hour on your sunday morning. still to come on today in the bay, people in southern california are seeking to get back home in the aftermath of the los angeles wildfires. we have the latest on the containment and (vo) with fargo, your virtual assistant from wells fargo, you can pick up the tab, even when you forget your wallet.

including san francisco right there. those northerly winds at around 20 miles an hour. really, only for the morning hours. i'm looking into the afternoon, not only with clearing skies and sunshine, but also those winds starting to break apart. we are still under a wind advisory for the north bay. the interior hills there of east santa rosa, parts of napa counties and solano counties through about 10 a.m. but then we fast forward it into the afternoon. those winds will be settling down as the system that brought us those sprinkles yesterday continues to make its way south, so it will continue to track through parts of the central coast, through the interstate 10 there in the central valley, and then head into parts of los angeles. now, it's not going to be a lot of rain, and definitely not going to take them out of the extreme drought situation that they're in right now. but it could be just beneficial to further suppress the fire flames and also better the air quality down there. i do see it continuing to spin and also lingering into

early monday before we get into some clearing for just about everybody. now that clearing and the winds dying down are going to leave us with some really cold air. let's push this on into tomorrow morning, where we're going to drop into the low 30s, maybe even some places subfreezing as we look towards parts of gilroy. those 30s are going to continue, and maybe even some isolated upper 20s in the wind sheltered valleys through tuesday, where those numbers just come tumbling down up there in parts of the north bay, 29 in ukiah to start the day on tuesday. i do see it continuing on into wednesday, but the numbers coming up just a little bit. so we'll see if this freeze watch continues to hold as we go through the middle part of the week. speaking of the middle part of the week, we'll continue with those clear and beautiful skies here throughout the bay, but then switching it up, getting more cloud cover and the breeze picking up once again as we go on and plan our next weekend. we are looking at maybe that shot of some better rain pushing in here for everybody as we go on into next weekend. i

want to give you a look at the early estimates right now, where we saw trace amounts this weekend. we could be tapping into maybe a quarter to possibly an inch up there in the north bay, just depending on where the storm takes its path. a much healthier situation could also be in store for the sierra. we're looking at a couple of more inches of snow to possibly even just over a foot in parts of kingvale and down at kirkwood, so we'll continue to watch that. let's watch the 7-day forecast together for san francisco and along the peninsula. it's going to be a nice day, breezy at times, but more sunshine. and that will lead the way into celebrating lunar new year through the middle part of the week. temperatures really not breaking out of the 50s and not breaking out of the low 60s as our daytime highs in our inlanand valleys through the middle of the week. and we'll get those umbrellas ready for next weekend. we'll be talking about that. it's about time. all right, cynthia, thanks. 43 past the hour. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here to talk about president trump's promise to provide

federal aid to fire r my navame's dan and i live hee in san antonio, texas. i ran my own hvac business and now i'm retired. i'm not good being retired. i'm a pain in the neck. i like to be able to have a purpose. about three or four years ago, i felt like i was starting to slip. i saw the prevagen commercials. after a short amount of time taking prevagen, i started noticing a difference-- i stopped taking prevagen and i found myself slacking back so i jumped right back on it. i've been taking prevagen for about two years now, and i've found a huge difference. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

since those deadly firestorms broke out in los angeles, causing one of the worst disasters in u.s. history. thanks to the heroic, nonstop efforts of firefighters, both fires are closer to full containment. the palisades fire is about 89% contained this morning, i believe. cal fire just updated that number, and it has burned over 36mi■!s. for comparison, san francisco is about ten square miles larger than that. pardon me, it is 79% contained in the palisades this morning. meanwhile, the eaton fire near altadena is now 98% contained, i believe. cal fire again just updated that 95% containment this morning. cal

fire has transitioned command of that incident back to the los angeles count fire department. across both fires, there are at least 28 known deaths. more than 16,000 structures have been destroyed. tens of thousands of people are still waiting for evacuation orders to be lifted. there is new outrage for those weary southern california residents who have waited weeks to see what, if anything, is left of their homes. those delays coming to a head between los angeles mayor and president trump. nbc's steve patterson reports. another round of heartache for fire worn residents waiting to get back to their lives and what's left of their homes. obviously, an information gap. and, you know, everybody wants answers, but it's going to take time. it's just outrageous. it makes me completely lose faith in the political hacks. they're trying to all cya at the top, rather than actually facing it and trying to solve it. that

agonizing wait in recovery, the source of a heated exchange between l.a. mayor karen bass and president trump friday. you have a very powerful emergency power, and you can do everything within 24 hours. yes. and if individuals want to clear out their property, they can. but we can't even we can't even get into our homes. get in here without trump. yes, but you know that you will be able to go back on when, mr. president, we think within a week. the most important a week is a long time to be safe. they're safe. part of that safety plan, a comprehensive sweep from the epa, cleaning hazardous waste from the worst impacted communities. we don't want to deal with any of this type of activity out there in the middle of the community. we bring it here to safely process all of e different materials for one more. and with rain in the forecast, neighbors are preparing for the possibility of disastrous mudslides. my house burned down, and right now we're going to go protect my grandmother's house above altadena. these sandbags are

going to prevent a lot of water from getting into the houses that are now standing. a cycle of anxiety for s many still seemingly trapped in the never ending worst day of their lives. after the president pardon me, that was steve patterson reporting for us after the president surveyed the damage and met with california governor gavin newsom, the president said about federal assistance that, quote, we will get this done. but will the federal government come to california's aid? i'm joined now on set by nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. hi, larry, as always, great to see you. what help do you think we can expect from fema? you know, i answer that, but i want to say one thing about that. what we just saw. this is so much more complicated than just waving a wand and saying, get it done. i mean, i think there was a disservice there done to the l.a. mayor because you've got hazardous waste. you've got fires erupting all around that were smoldering. it's not so easy. it's not so easy. and that's why we have

fema and fema is there. fema is on the ground. yes, there are always mistakes. things are never done fast enough when you're in some sort of a disaster. absolutely not. but the fact is, fema is doing all kinds of things right now. thousands of personnel are there. okay, $750 per person for incidentals, just incidentals to hold things together for a day or two. temporary housing debris removal, which is incredibly expensive. it's all paid for by the federal government, along with the housing. the other matters. $42,000 per house for repairs. and of course, in los angeles or california, that's a dent. but at least igets people going. a full coverage for fighting of the cost of the fire. so look, to be sure this is not entirely smooth. absolutely not. how can it be when you've got 2 or 300,000 people affected by this? but they're doing it. they're doing it, and that's what's important, i think, to so many people, 24,000 people have already applied for assistance. so you can imagine just how complicated and difficult this is to process. staggering property

estimates also are staggering, the largest in u.s. history between estimated at least at this point, between 250 and $400 billion. i'm wondering, you know, president trump said he's willing to help financially get los angeles back up and running. but with the stipulation voter ids at the polls to stop voter fraud. more water from here in northern california for southern california. are these deal breakers? i know in l.a. councilman came out and said, you know, if i don't agree with people in the south, i'm not going to make them keep living on their cousin's couch and not send them money. so is that what we're seeing? there are two things to talk about here. first of all, aid has been given all over the place over the many years for hurricanes, for tornadoes, for all kinds of terrible tragedies. never have there been conditions associated with the aid. so u kind of wonder if there's a political side to this. the second thing is that there are two problems

here. you alluded to them water and the other one. what's the other one? water and voter ids. voter id, thank you very much. voter id california has no voter id problems. this whole idea about voter fraud, which has been thrown around forever, just doesn't exist. study after study after study shows these things. the other thing as far as water from north to the south. last year the state did a comprehensive overhaul. and with that overhaul, what they decided was we're moving more water down there. they have plenty of water. what they need. the problem in, in in the los angeles area with the fires was huge hurricane winds, massive winds and dry as can be. no rain for a year. there's no way that any amount of water could have dealt with that beyond what they've got. so. so those are things that we have to remember. and, and, and the members of congress need to, from california especially, educate these people in the, in the, in the congress about these, these problems. and so what do you

think i mean, will l.a. ever be able to be made whole again? i'm born and raised down there. it looks insurmountable. we see a lot of posturing right now, a lot of posture, a lot of political posturing, i think is upsetting to just about everybody watching it. but but at the end of the day, it's likely that l.a. will get the money it needs. but you know what? the money never gets back. those 28 lives. the money never gets back. the loss of those personal things that people have in their homes. and money never gets back. the neighborhoods that have just been flattened, those things will take a lot of time. it still will be enough, no matter how much money there is. it is true indeed. all right, larry, sorry to end on such a sad note there, but thananks, as ways for coming in. 53 past the hour on your sunday morning. up next, a quick look at our top stories, including the fight to stop major cuts to a bay area university is

from there, the coast guard says the department of defense will transport those people internationally. new developments in the massive budget problem at sonoma state university. the recent decision to cut its entire athletics program has now led to a civil rights complaint filing with the u.s. department of education's office for civil rights. a grassroots organization called save seawolves athletics filed the complaint, claiming sonoma state's decision to cut all of its athletics unfairly impacts student athletes from minority backgrounds. the university had said it was forced to make the cuts to athletic and other programs, as it faces a nearly $24 million budget deficit. and before we go, cynthia has one last look at the forecast. we should be drying out for many. sprinkle situation from yesterday. much more sunshine in the picture for our inland valleys. as we take a look over the next seven days, we will see
