the game, too. and while the athletes show off their skills, it's a chance for the bay area to show off as well. everybody is really happy to have an event like this here, you know, in the bay, especially because it was like 20 years since the last 25, right, since the last time they were here and, you know, in oakland. and so having it here in san francisco, i think everyone is really excited. alyssa goard today in the bay, our coverage of all-star weekend continues in our sports segment coming up. anthony flores was at yesterday's practice at the oakland arena with the all brinm last night's skills contest. it's all ahead of the big all star game tonight at five. we've posted everything you need to know about getting in and around the city on our website, nbcbayarea.com. we're going to turn to other news now. new. this morning, emergency crews are searching for a missing person who we are told fell into the bay water near pier 32 last night in san francisco. sf fire

says around 1030 they had reports that two people were in the water. they were able to rescue one person and take them to the hospital. crews used their boats. they used thermal imaging cameras, drones and floodlights and still were unable to locate that second person. we're told as of this morning, the search has now turned over to san francisco police, the u.s. coast guard announcing more flights between california and texas to send undocumented migrants out of the u.s. this photo showing two military planes waiting to take off. these operations are being led by the coast guard district, based in alameda. meanwhile, u.s. immigration and customs enforcement, or ice, has its sights set on the bay area. more specifically, the former federal women's prison in the east bay. it could soon be the first immigrant detention center in the bay area. ice already has detainment centers in these cities you see here across our

state. now, it appears the agency is considering turning the former fci dublin federal women's prison into one as well. union officials who represent western prison workers tell nbc bay area ice agents were at that prison in dublin this past thursday and friday. the facility has a controversial past. we reported on allegations of sexual abuse, retaliation and poor care that led to lawsuits and multiple convictions of past officers. two months ago, the federal bureau of prisons announced plans tpermanently close that compound. union leaders say the facility needs $10 million in upgrades and mold abatement. but add that despite that, ice is showing strong interest in taking over the prison. we reached out to ice and are waiting to hear back. happening right now, people on the peninsula are marching against mass deportations. we want to take you out. live. this is in san mateo. the group rights over borders said its

group is going to depart san mateo city hall any minute now. they are marching all the way to san francisco. they plan for it to be a peaceful protest, to demand immigration reform. rights over borders says it is marching for those who cannot. the group's first stop is at the san bruno city hall at 11 a.m, then the daly city city hall at 1 p.m. people are invited to join along the way. the march will end at san francisco city hall and across the country. yesterday, protests outside of tesla dealerships nationwide. demonstrators saying they're not happy with tesla owner elon musk and his new role in the trump administration. hey hey ho ho elon musk has got to go. this large group protested outside the tesla dealership in berkeley. president trump, as you likely know, recently appointed musk to lead the department of government efficiency. protesters say the cuts musk is proposing will do

more harm than good. and this handful of people gathered outside the tesla dealership in dublin. one man says he's worried about sensitive groups like children and seniors. so when elon musk says he's going to cut $2 trillion, is he going to cut off medicare? what is he going to do? he has no plan. he has a bunch of 20 year olds rummaging through the budget. trump and musk maintain the department is weeding out what they call wasteful government spending. and we want to bring you an update now to a story we a valentine's night attack at an upscale shopping mall turned deadly. a man was stabbed around seven friday night in san jose's santana row. it's still unclear what led to that stabbing, but police confirmed with us yesterday that the victim died at the hospital. the attack forced a section of the mall to shut down on a busy valentine's night. so far, no one has been

after president trump spoke wit russian president putin to launch negotiations to end the war in ukraine, blindsiding many of our allies. please join men welcoming kristen welker, moderator of meet the press. hi, kristen, as always, great to see you this morning. i understand you were in germany. you spoke with president zelensky. i don't want to give away what happened in that conversation, but i kind of want to tie in president president trump's involvement as he's now working overseas. he's also announced essentially new tariffs worldwide. the eu,

canada, mexico already signaling they're ready to retaliate. so how could these escalating trade tensions hit us back home as trump is sort of, you know, touching the rest of the world? well, first, on president zelensky, in my exclusive interview with him on the sidelines of the munich security conference, he had a stark warning, which is that ukraine will not accept any security agreement, that ukraine has not helped negotiate. and so that is why this is such an urgent moment. he also said that ukraine has intelligence, that russia is building up more than 100,000 troops in belarus. he is concerned he could be eyeing possibly going into a neighboring nato country as early as this summer. so it's a really stark warning. it does come, as european officials are concerned about the fact that there has been so much mixed messaging from the trump administration about ukraine and

concerns, that is, the administration threatening to potentially secede from europe altogether. so there is a lot of concerns in munich while i was there, which if you add the tariffs on to all of that, it adds to these international tensions both abroad and then tensions at home as well. remember why president trump was elected? he promised to bring down prices on day one. he said so far we are actually seeing prices go up. we have seen inflation go up. and if you look at history, if you talk to economists, they say consumers always, always bear the brunt of tariffs. so if prices start to go up even more, the question becomes kira could this backfire politically on president trump? now he has said there could be some short term pain to all of this. so he's trying to prepare people and set expectations. but how high the price is go. i think that's going to be a key question. and again, it all comes as he is grappling with how to try to bring the war in ukraine to an end. kira we really look forward to that

conversation with you and president zelensky. always want to thank you, kristen, for that insight this morning, and we hope you join kristen for this morning's meet the press. it's about 45 minutes from now. you can see that full, exclusive interviewith ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. 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, we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at the trump administration's halt to all foreign aid. as kristen was referring to. we want to turn here back locally. now, bank of america is closing a branch in san francisco that has served customers for more than 65 years. the branch, at 1525 market street, opened back in 1959. the company says it did not see business pick back up after the pandemic, so it is closing that branch on march 1st. customers are being told to

visit a nearby branch locations on powell street, on van ness and on montgomery. b of a if you didn't know, was founded in san francisco back in 1904. it's now headquartered in north carolina, a bay area high school mock trial team is headed to the state tournament. and here's the extra special part. this team dethroned the 14 time defending county champions we want. it's hard not to share in that joy. that's the moment the hillsdale high school team from san mateo got the news that they won. it happened thursday night when they beat their rivals, the menlo school. menlo had won the san mateo county mock trial championship the last 14 years in a row. from some good news to some other good news, one of the most recognizable jingles in

sports is making a comeback. i mean, from 1990 to the year 2000, nbc owned nba coverage, and during that time, musician and tv personality john tesh wrote that theme song, roundball rock. it quickly became popular, even voted number one sports theme of all time, with nbc sports securing media rights to nba games. roundball rock is rebounding. th says when he got the idea for the tune, he left himself a message on an old fashioned answering machine. i actually have the answering the original answering machine message that i still carry around when i do concerts, and it's this is the message for me about the nba theme. here's an idea. it goes like this. yeah. so pick it to get into the ended up being you know, and it was as

simple as that. and then i left another message which was. which is wow. i'm glad he was able to translate his own message to himself. that was incredible. just it's like a time machine takes you back. tesh composed a few versions, including a shredded version and a club mix. snl also, you see here made a skit about the creation of the song. full disclosure nbc sports and nbc bay area are part of that same company, nbc universal, and we couldn't be more proud. by the way, as we mentioned, studio eight h is celebrating five decades of saturday night live with a three hour extravaganza tonight. past hosts, former cast members joining the current ones to create some new magic. and some of the show's former writers john mulaney, tina fey, seth meyers came back to write for tonight's episode as well. i mean, it's amazing. it's the greatest toolbox of talent that you would ever have at your disposal. you know, a writing staff who has this many people

who are game to do stuff. it's an embarrassment of rics. be sure to watch tonight's 50th anniversary special right here on nbc. bay area red carpet coverage begins at four with willie geist, followed by the live coast to coast special at 5 p.m. let's turn now to cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. we are starting off raining right now, but then as we go throughout the day should dry out. so that's the good news there with stormranger we see the rain right now where it's happening. it's our exclusive mobile doppler radar. you can see it on the nbc bay area app as well. we have some heavy rain right now through vallejo up in napa, moving through parts of marin county and out there towards the coast. so the dylan beach area, point reyes, you're getting some good rain rates right now. it's spotty as we move through berkeley, orinda, highway 24, and also spotty through san mateo and the mid bay further south. we aren't seeing a drop and that's how it will stay pretty much as we go throughout the morning. i'm only going to

keep it to some light rain there for the next hour or two through the east bay, maybe some spotty showers through the santa cruz mountains, but overall just drying into the afternoon with some clearing as we go on into the evening hours. so what can we expect as we go throughout the day? as that cold front pushes on through? we're going to keep those numbers a little bit cooler up there in the north bay, 56 up in napa, 59 oakland with a little bit more of a mild feel down here into the south bay with 64 in san jose. it will be a pretty similar feel as we go on into monday and tuesday. but then the middle part of the week is when we get our next shot at some bay area rain and also some mountain snow. i know it's ski week and a lot of families want to head up there. we are looking at it staying pretty light through the bay as we go on. maybe into the morning hour, commute, light through the evening as well, and then pretty much out of here, really getting into maybe a trace of amounts of rain. san francisco and south up into the north bay. we're getting into that 3/10, 4/10 of an inch as we go on into the evening hours of wednesday. but you really want to pay attention

to what's coming up after the middle part of the week. the showers pass on through because we go on into thursday, friday and saturday. that's where you want to circle to your weekend and start making those plans, because we are looking at high pressure building on in and those temperatures warming into the mid to upper 60s for our inland valleys and san francisco. we are looking at those showers for the morning, but then into the afternoon shouldn't impact all of the events going on. with lunar new year and the nba all star games. we clear out for monday and tuesday. they are president's day with those showers coming in on wednesday. but then even the city and along the peninsula getting into some really spectacular february weather with mid 60s there for next weekend, just as i was getting used to the cold weather. we're going back. can't complain though. all right cinthia, thanks. well, as we've been talking about this weekend, the national spotlight is on the bay area and san f francisco showing off. take a look. we have a time lapse from last night of a light show on the transamerica pyramid. it was lit up with

animated stars, basketballs, all sorts of rainbow colored lights. it was up until around 11 last night. that was really cool to see. up next, it is 22 past your hour. anthony flores takes us inside chase center for a recap of last night's all star skills contest, and a look at what' [ding] [upbeat music] ♪ yeah, baby, i like it like that ♪

to chase center and been in san francisco the last six seasons to have a little bit of a moment to honor and reminisce the 47 years that we played in this building. it is a it is a moment that's just truly oakland, truly, you know, authentic to what i, you know, have experienced here and it all it all matters. so it's pretty dope. went to all star weekend in 2000. the last time that it was here and 25 years later to be actually a participant in all star weekend and doing it in my hometown and the height of my career, you know, it's an honor and a, you know, a special moment. the nba's biggest and brightest stars will hit the court behind me later tonight in the 74th annual nba all-star game at chase center in san francisco. i'm anthony flores for today in the bay. not bad anthony. thanks. 27 past the hour. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up, the largest chinese new year celebration outside of china right here in san

bay. so let's zoom it on in with storm ranger, our mobile doppler radar. we are looking at that heavy cell through parts of lagunitas out there towards the marin coast, parts of terra linda, and really light amounts right now through parts of hercules. the showers just pushed on through napa, moving in through parts of fairfield, approaching rio vista. so parts of the delta are getting some of that activity. it's really spotty. once you start to move hayward down into the south bay, so that activity will start to dwindle on out of here as we go on into the middle part of the day, keeping temperatures pretty cool as we go on into the afternoon with some cloudy skies, upper 50s as we go on through the north bay, the tri-valley, but some mild 60s down here for the south bay. now there's another shot of rain as we go on into next week, but the end of the 7-day forecast is chef's kiss. i'll show it to you coming up in about ten minutes here. back to you. all right. cinthia, thanks. well, there you go. thousands of people gathering in san francisco for the chinese new year parade.

this year, there was a 201ft dragon operated by 100 puppeteers, dozens of beautiful floats and music to dazzle the crowds. this is san francisco mayor daniel lowery's first parade as mayor. as you just saw there, he left his car on the parade route to meet spectators. there was a strong police presence, as well as barricades to help keep people and the parade route safe. an estimated 200,000 people came out to the largest chinese new year celebration outside of asia to ring in the year of the snake. it's really fun to be here. just the joy, the spirit of the new year and being with friends and just enjoying san francisco. this morning at 9 a.m, the community street fair continues right there in the heartf san francisco's chinatown. and of course, not just chinatown, but chase center moscone center across the bay at oakland arena. thousands of basketball fans have been filling up the bay area for the star studded nba

all star weekend. today is sadly the final day of the three day event. last night at chase, the all stars showed off their skills ball handling, three pointers and the beloved slam dunk contest. the city was packed out in front of chase. tickets were hard to come by if you happen to look for them. they were expensive. many people didn't even have tickets, so they just joined the celebration in thrive city. they could watch all the events on the jumbotron out front. they also tried to get photos with broadcasters, basketball greats, and we're told bay area pride was on full display for out of town visitors. everybody is really happy to have an event like this here, u know, in the bay, especially because it was like 20 years since the last 25, right, since the last time they were here. and, you know, in oakland. and so having it here in san francisco, i think everyone's really excited. yeah, lots of bay area pride here. we were proud to show off our city and our region to on the national stage, the all star

game. the cherry on top of the weekend is at 5 p.m. tonight at chase center, and we will have continuing coverage of the nba all star weekend. the final day. today we posted everything you need to know about getting in and around the city on our website nbcbayarea.com. new this morning. another busy night of illegal sideshows across the bay area. this one ending on the bay bridge. the activity started around midnight in richmond and they moved through oakland and then across the bay to daly city and san francisco. around 230 this morning, traffic on the bay bridge, you see there came to a complete standstill. while that sideshow took up all the span, it took san francisco police about 30 minutes to clear the area. again, these are illegal shows, but no word yet on any

arrests. happening this morning, people on the peninsula are marching to demonstrate against mass deportations. the group rights over borders said its group departed san mateo city hall just after seven this morning. our camera crew was there. they are marching the 18 miles to san francisco. they plan for it to be a peaceful protest to demand immigration reform. rights over borders says they are marching for those who cannot. the group's first stop is expected at san bruno city hall at 11 a.m, then they'll stop at daly city city hall at 1 p.m. people are invited to join in along the way. the march will end at san francisco city hall. also happening today, there will be a day of remembrance in the south bay for the people in the japanese internment camps during world war two, president franklin roosevelt signed an executive order imprisoning more

than 125,000 people of japanese descent back in 1942. today, the nihonmachi outreach committee, or knock, is hosting their 45th annual event in san jose. they're honoring those who were interned this year. the knock is spotlighting the work of asian american women activists. there will be a candlelight procession through japantown. it happens at 530 tonight, starting at the san jose buddhist church. the national day of remembrance is officially this wednesday. meanwhile, pro-palestinian demonstrators shifted their focus in san francisco yesterday, instead taking aim now at the trump administration. they've been calling for an immediate ceasefire and an arms embargo on israel for more than a year now. but groups like this, the palestinian youth movement, protested against president trump himself. they say they're doing that because of the president's recentt

comments calling for clearing out gaza's 2 million residents and then saying the u.s. should take over and develop the area. they see it as a threat to ethnically cleanse gaza and illegally seize the territory. we're here to send a message to the governments of jordan and of egypt that they need to stand with the masses of their people and their countries and say no to the ethnic cleansing plan of palestinians to remove, remove them from their land. the president had suggested those two countries could take in palestinians. meanwhile, the u.s. secretary of state, marco rubio, arrived in israel. this marks his first trip to the middle east after the president's statement drew internatational condemnation. secretary rubio is expected to discuss advancing to phase two of that cease fire agreement and freeing remaining israeli hostages from hamas captivity. we are learning more about a daring underground rescue of a teenager from an abandoned gold mine northeast of us in placer

county. we're going to a lower, lower. copy. this. intense rescue was captured on camera. crews were called in after three teenagers went exploring earlier this week, about 40 miles northeast of sacramento. the friends rappelled 40ft down an abandoned gold mine. look how deep that shaft is. two of the friends made it out, but then their rope snapped, sending their 16 year old friend falling to the bottom. when rescuers arrived, they said they found the teen wearing crocs clinging to a tiny stone ledge halfway up the shaft. the teen was pulled to safety and taken to the hospital miraculously for only minor injuries. the santa cruz county is about to get some outside help to recover from severe storm damage from last year. governor gavin newsom issued an emergency proclamation for the county due to that storm this past december that took out part of the wharf and the port district. that proclamation

authorizes the governor's office of emergency services to now provide assistance. it also opens up the area to federal disaster assistance. back to that egg shortage. it has many places all over the nation and here in the bay area running out. and when you do find eggs, expect to pay up. the culprit? as you likely know, the ongoing bird flu pandemic, and it has some egg lovers trying a different strategy, hatching their own. today in the bay's damian trujillo explains, even those who have their small chicken farms say they worry about the avian flu. but this might be coming. a new trend in the bay area. reporter the brett family consider themselves somewhat lucky. they get their own bounty of eggs every morning. every type of chicken will do a different type of colored eggs, from dark chocolate to light brown to green or blue. yes, green and blue eggs. this basket at the store would likely cost the family around 15 bucks. that's based on the price we found for

18 eggs at the safeway store, which is also rationing the product. the cdc reports that more than a million birds have been killed by the avian flu, including chickens and chicks and chicks, is what katie ce to buy at the feed in willow glen. we inherited a chicken house from some friends of ours, and we've repaired it, and we're going to be getting the chicks at some point today. all he found was chick feed. ganado expects the chicks to arrive from the central valley on friday. the holding cages are ready, but it won't take long for them to sell chicks. season is pretty busy, but i guess with like, everything in the news this year might be a little busier. probably with all the people who want to start thinking that. like they're going to get a lot of eggs with the shortage. 2 to 300 chicks will arrive at ganado as newborns a day later. they'll be in someone's backyard, perhaps someone scrambling to beat the egg shortage. damian trujillo

in san francisco. we watch for the showers this morning, and then a cloudy sky for all of the events going on in the city this afternoon. a high of about 56. so definitely bundle up as we go out there. down into the south bay we are waking up with peeks of sunshine and gilroy through the next couple of hours. turning cloudy as we approach lunchtime and all of that activity pushing on through. 62 a high later on this afternoon. now the similar as we go on into our monday and tuesday with a shot of rain and sierra snow as we move towards the middle part of the week. for people staying local, or maybe heading out for ski week up there in the mountains. really, that's the finish here as we go on with the rain. then we're building in with some warmer and spring like weather, as high pressure pushes those storms further up into the pacific northwest. so what does that mean? we are looking at those temperatures gradually warming up down here, especially for san jose. we'll keep it with 60 through the middle part of the week, and tn may even climb into those upper 70. that looks spectacular as we go on

and make our weekend plans for next weekend. san francisco we will watch for those morning showers clearing out for tomorrow and tuesday. a little bit of that breeze coming in as we go on into wednesday, but then even the city and parts of the coastline should get into some nice days ahead. the second half of the week, going into those mid to upper 60s there too, while our inland valleys, we see maybe a sprinkle or two here as we go throughout the morning. another one on wednesday. but then like i mentioned, we get into those spring like temperatures thursday, friday and saturday. so really we went from having a fast winter kind of makeup season the last couple of weeks to fast forwarding it to spring 72. wow. all right, cinth, thaniaks

a sense of absolute violation. of course, laura had to hire a new contractor to get her adu off the ground. she and others have spoken up for months now. a bay area lawmaker is listening and taking action. he's poised to change the contractor law statewide. tonight, after the big snl anniversary show will lay out the proposed new penalty that a peninsula rep calls righteous. it hits contractors who don't deliver in the pocketbook. and that lawmaker believes it's hefty enough to scare off crooked or corrupt contractors and protect you. a tip to our team launched our investigation. if you have one for us or a consumer complaint, snap the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. i'll join you again tonight after snl. kyra, back to you. great work. thanks, chris. well, we continue to follow the trump administration's actions to overhaul the federal government. over this past month, the president has ordered a 90 day

freeze on all foreign aid, dismantled the u.s. agency for international development, or usaid, and said ukraine should cede territory to the russians to end their invasion. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins me on set now. hi, larry. great to see you this morning. trump says he's putting america first. so what are we to make of this? well, that's you're right. that's what he says. and by putting america first, that means everything is second. right. and so we don't want to spend any resources anyplace. we don't have to. so people think about foreign aid, which trump has cited as a big drain on the us economy, why we could be doing so many other things. we know what if you take a poll as as we've done and ask people, how much money do we spend on foreign aid? they think we spend 31% of the national budget on foreign aid. that's how much money people think we spend on foreign aid. but look at the next one. how much do we actually spend on foreign aid?

1% kira 1% of the budget is spent on foreign aid. now, about half of that is on usaid, which has programs at 170 nations around the world. just that little tiny program. yet these have been targeted by president trump as things to do away with. and i understand even, you know, one of second, president bush's health initiatives regarding aids is even now, you know, saving lives across the globe. now this is cut. so it's not a democratic or republican issue because that came from a republican white house. okay. i do want to turn to ukraine. i talked to kristen welker about that. the trump administration has said that the u.s. has funded most of ukraine's defense and wants to stop. so what do we make of that? another myth. another myth here. in fact, the data shows that from january 2022 until december of 2024.

look what you see here. the u.s. is spending 114 billion. european countries spending 132. thatat mns they're covering about 54% of the cost of dealing with ukraine's problems with russia. so we need to get the facts out here. there's one more fact. it's kind of uncomfortable, but we've got to talk about it. and that is something known as the budapest memorandum. the budapest memorandum happened in 1994 when ukraine went ahead and gave its nuclear weapons to russia in exchange for russia, great britain and the united states defending ukraine in times of any attack. well, you know what's happened with russia in 2014 and in 2022, russia has attacked and the united states now threatening to withdraw all its support from ukraine, also means a violation, to the extent the united states won't be defending ukraine, as per that memorandum in budapest in 1994. these are very, very critical things we need to understand when discussing foreign policy. and kristen welker, talking to

ukrainian president this morning saying no peace dls without ukraine involved. and right now, as far as it looks like trump and putin are the only ones involved in that. which means europe, the major funder, has also been left out. and so okay, so there's a lot. but what do we what do we take from this new direction. i think we need to really think about what foreign aid means, what we're doing with it, and how realistic it is to cut out that 1% of the budget when it buys all this, what we call soft power around the world. the programs you were talking about that hiv saved 20 mimillion les so far. lots of other programs about education, about health, about water, about climate, all these things. so do we really want to take that cut sliver of the budget and take it out? well, that's the kind of thing we need to talk about. 1% of the budget, which i think people really y don't realize. d those soft touches now, maybe china could move in. maybe china could. speculation there. all

right larry, thanks as always. great insight there. kristen welker, we'll talk to the ukrainian president after this. and up next we ha a quick look at our top stories, including san francisco's big game finally here tonight. all star game tipping off at five. what you need to know

morning, including the search for a person who went into the bay. waters in san francisco
