this is cbs news bay area with reed cowan. teachers in the second largest school district are set to go on strike tomorrow

morning, where the negotiations stand as the clock gets ready to run out. plus, the late rally came up short, and it hurts, as the warriors are trailing in yet again another playoff series, some tweaks that have to happen going into the series against the lakers. and fighting mosquitoes from above, we have a sneak peek at how it is done using drones to tackle this pesky problem. and you probably know this already, rain and more rain, pouring this afternoon and we are tracking the radar. good afternoon everybody, thank you for joining us, despite some progress at the negotiations table last week , teachers with the oakland unified school district still plan on hitting the picket line tomorrow. anne makovec is here with where things stand on this. >> reporter: if there is no agreement, more than 3000 teachers and staffers are going to hit the picket lines tomorrow. this is really tough for parents and students to know what the plan for , this

affects 34,000 students in the district. the district is proposing that every teacher get a raise of at least 13% and as much as 22%, that includes for nurses, counselors and psychologists as well. but, the union says this goes beyond money, they want smaller class sizes, counselors at every school and better air quality. they spoke out at a news conference after talks fell apart last weekend. >> we know oakland is a union town, and we know our community will not cross the picket line. we promise you , we have done everything we can to advert this strike. >> reporter: according to the california department of education, the average starting salary is just over $51,000 per year but in oakland, which has a higher cost of living, it is $46.5 thousand per year, less than san jose and san francisco which have similar cost-of-living but start their teachers at $66,000 per year

respectively. we reached out to the district today for their take on the latest developments and have not heard back that monday, a spokesperson said we remain optimistic that we will collectively come to a resolution in time to prevent the teachers from hitting the picket lines and keeping our kids in school. if a strike does happen tomorrow, it is going to last at least one day, possibly many more, we are going to keep an eye out for any potential news in negotiations and keep you posted on air and online . >> thank you so much. nurses in concord are on strike today, listen. you can hear them and you can see them, that is what they want, the registered nurses are on the picket lines for today's one-day strike, they are demanding a better contract to improve recruitment and retention through things like improved benefits and they want more training. >> you are not valuing quality mental health care and you are

certainly not guiding your nurses. please know this, when you take on one of us, yotake on all of us. >> it's always important to us that we get both sides of the story, john muir released a statement saying we believe we have a very fair offer on the table, they also said they encourage union leaders to do the same. let's talk about your wallet and your money right now, we can tell you interest rates are going up again, the feds announced a quarter of a percentage point increase, putting it at the highest level in 16 years. it's an effort to bring down inflation. >> you can see a slowdown in consumer spending, you see a slowdown on the housing market and we are seeing moderation in wage growth, although it still remains relatively rapid. >> inflation is now 5% which is down from the 9% jump last summer, but the fed also asked to balance the uncertainty in the banking sector, just two days ago, first republic bank failed. plus, there's the

political standoff on the debt limit, if a deal is not reached, the u.s. government would default on its bills. jerome powell is not committing to a pause on future rate hikes but says he did not rule it out either. the impact on wall street did take a slight tumble today, down less than 1% across the board. the new housing project is working very hard to combat homelessness in the east bay. it's the city of alameda working hard to celebrate the grand opening of dignity village. the new transitional housing development has 47 rooms and conserve up to 60 people at a time. the city's mayor said this is a huge step in the path to ending homelessness. >> what we are doing here in the city of alameda will be an example for other cities to follow because we all have not only the ability, we have a moral obligation to address homelessness, and that is how we do it.

>> funding for the project provided by $12 million grant from the states project home key program and $2 million in a grant from the city of alameda. game one belongs to the los angeles lakers. can we rewind that tape and have him say something different? the lakers took game one of the second round series against the warriors, so the dubs need to make some adjustments, heading into game two tomorrow night at chase center. the dubs are going to work to fix it. >> there were size issues on the inside, terrible free throw disparity in this one. and you know what, give the lakers credit, they did what they had to do in this one , as the warriors put up 106 shots from deep, half of them from three. once the lakers settle down in the second half, there were no answers , 30 points, 23 rebounds, 15 seconds left,

they were down three. somebody beat steph curry, and his three was off the mark, la tracked down a rebound and we are done here. the lakers took game one, 117-112. >> we were right there, we gave it a great fight , and just couldn't get over the hump , but we will be ready for game two. >> they have to do something with the free throw disparity, they cannot have another game where they only get to the free-throw line 6 times, la got to the free-throw line 29 times, we just can't have that. thank you. still ahead, using a high-tech train card to make sure the tracks are safe for all the other cars. it's a new tool bart is rolling out today, we will show you. we are getting into mosquito season and nobody wants them in their yard, how

one bay area county is using drones for the first time to try to get a buzz above the problem. all of these puddles are perfect breeding grounds for those flying tasks and we have more rain falling across the bay area today, gradually we are going to see the sh

you've got to see this, bart is showing off its newest

high-tech tool, it is designed to improve train service for you. the transit agency today unveiled a $10 million, 63 foot long rail inspection vehicle, it is huge . engineers say it works fast, travels 70 miles per hour , and it inspects the tracks using a 3-d technology. the high definition images can ees or other objects on the tracks that could cause delays or accidents. >> the systems and the data that this vehicle is going to collect is going to help us predict, it is going to help us respond, and it's going to help us put our money, our maintenance money, our state of good repair money on those elements that are going to improve on-time performance for our riders.

>> they are proud of this because the federally inspected vehicle is one of only two in the entire united states, we understand it'll go into service very soon. bart also has news today in the form of a new inspector general, the governor appointed the new inspector general. aside from managing and overseeing the operation, she is going to conduct audits to prevent and detect fraud and waste and abuse. the fda approved the world's first vaccine to protect against rsv. listen up, parents, because we know this is the one we are so afraid of your kids getting, it is designed to be given as a single shot two adults 60 and over, rsv is also associated with babies and children but it can also be dangerous for seniors, especially those with underlying health conditions. it can be available as soon as this fall if the cdc recommends it for people in those age groups. three other vaccines

for older adults are also in the final phases of testing. santa clara county is deploying drones in aerial combat missions, they are fighting midair mosquitoes. they plan to zero in on their pesky targets. >> reporter: this drone is capable of carrying a max payload of 40 pounds. this is not your child's toy drone, the one the county is using to combat the mosquitoes can fly one mile or more for dropping its payload, precisely targeting the pesky insects. >> drones do a very good job of getting into and out of areas where you wouldn't want to necessarily send an aircraft or helicopter. >> reporter: davis is from the south, from alabama, he spends a good chunk of each spring and summer in california piloting these industrial sized drones

in the states annual battle against mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. >> mosquitoes, when they are adults, they can carry a lot of diseases. and one of the big ones in the state of california is the west nile virus. >> reporter: santa clara valley gave us a demonstrated in palo alto, the area popular with bicyclist and hikers in the clara ramirez. >> they are kind of annoying when they are getting in your face. if you think they are bad now, just wait until the summer. >> in about a month or so, they are going to be all over the place. it'll be interesting to see if this pesticide minimizes them at all. >> reporter: davis said the company drones can fly lower than conventional aircraft and that means more precise targeted applications of the pesticides. good news for us, bad news for the bugs. >> it's more precise in a sense that the drone uses gps guidance. >> reporter: the county shows it is easier to control the larval assays phase, they say

it is much harder if you allow those mosquitoes to reach adulthood. time for a look at the forecast with paul heggen, no mosquitoes were flying at my house this morning as the rain was coming down. >> it feels like the first week of march, and we still have some very ominous looking clouds hovering over downtown san francisco. here is what you needs to know, over two inches for the santa cruz mountains, this is a storm system that has added up over an inch and a half of rain over the last 48 hours and one inch on the nose for downtown san francisco, this is the 15th wettest water record on year, all the way back to the gold rush. other rounds have been a bit more modest, half an inch in dublin, less than half an inch in santa rosa, and let's take a look at the weather had lands r the st y.erargoing more off than on

tonight and into tomorrow, but still some left over showers possible tomorrow. a mainly dry day on friday, but a new feature in the forecast is an increase of rain chance as we head into the weekend. there's all the rain that continues to fall right now, even a lightning strike , the first lightning strike of the day just north of the golden gate. we do have that heavier rain that is sliding up to marin county, lingering showers over downtown san francisco but still plenty of rain that is falling over san mateo county and down into the santa cruz mountains. this passage of moisture is going to head into tonight, but more showers trying to develop as we head towards early tomorrow morning. the best chance of showers tomorrow is going to be for the bay area, but the largest atmosphere drying out on friday. there is more rain in

store, less than a quarter inch of additional rain on top of what has already fallen with this particular storm system, but there is more on the way friday night into saturday, another 10th of an inch is looking pretty likely to begin the weekend with a dry day on sunday and more rain showers on the way for next monday. temperatures tonight drown drop-down to the upper 40s, around 50 degrees. temperatures tomorrow still unseasonably cool, only in the low to mid 60s for most of us, the cooler spots only in the mid to upper 50s. tomorrow, saturday, and again on monday and a longer dry break, it looks like it is going to take hold by next tuesday and wednesday and warmer temperatures around 70 degrees for inland parts of the bay area . the one place that could see some showers on friday is going to be the northbay while everybody else gets at least one mostly dry day to finish off the work week for we head into an unsettled first weekend of may. a first of its kind

solutions, we know that is what so many of you want, here on cbs news bay area, we highlight people building

bridges in our community and engaging in service. over the past year, we have been telling you the effort to save the salmon is a part of a growing partnership between state and federal wildlife agencies and a small california tribe that has been fighting to save those fish for years and trying to get them to come back home. on monday, the historic pact was signed to ex >> reporter: today, if we put down our footsteps and put down some songs, that is who we are sending that out to , our elders and ancestors who were here before us. for the tribe , this day would have seemed improbable or impossible just a few years ago, a tiny california tribe without federal recognition signed a formal agreement with state and

federal partners when the moment arrived to finally signed the documents , the tribes spiritual leader could not help but acknowledge generations of mistrust. >> the only reservation i have is against the government. whether or not they are telling me the truth , but we went ahead and made those deals, we went ahead and trusted that this would be a good thing to happen . >> in many ways, the new partnership is the result of a crisis, drought and warmer temperatures each intensifying a changing climate, have pushed the chinook to the brink of extinction, their last best hope is to return home to the mccloud river from which they have been cut off since the construction of the dam. >> it felt like over this past year, we kind of had a restart to two different relationships , one among the tribe , the

fisheries in the department, and one more broadly among people , the salmon and the mccloud river. >> over the past year, we have showed you the incredible effort to save these fish, eggs floating in by helicopter to be incubated in the mccloud itself before being released and caught in a trap downstream. >> it has been about 80 years since the chinook salmon have in this part of the river , here we go. >> reporter: those fish were then transported by bucket in a car down i-5 to a release point on the sacramento river, about 1600 word moved, but the new agreement would hope to build on that kind of work and one goal is to bring wild chinook from new zealand, fish that were originally brought over from california , back to these waters. the original genetic line back where it started.

>> home is where the heart is, it is where warmth is, it is where the beginning of life is, it is often where the end of life is. ringing the salmon home is part of the salmon's future in california. so, that is the leadership in that regard. >> bringing the fish home also brings the people closer to their original home, like saving the chinook, that is a work in progress, with a lot of hope invested in this agreement. >> that it's kind of like we are them and they are us , and whatever happens to them, happens to us. so, they are on the brink of extinction , and so are we. so, we can help bring them back, and maybe we do, too. >> beautiful story, thank you. still ahead, the oakland zoo is saying goodbye to some furry friends, where these two
