progress in getting hostages back is rising. >> it's impossible that there are 240 kidnapped people and the government, our government, isn't talking to them, isn't telling them what's going on, what's on the table, what are the offers, what are the reasons for and against, nothing. nobody's talking. >> meanwhile in gaza, the israeli military has taken control of al shifa hospital, forcing thousands more people to sflee south, including doctors, nurses, patients, and families with small children. they say israel forced them to leave as they search for proof of a hamas command center. the worsening humanitarian situation in gaza continues to prompt massive protests around the globe from los angeles to london and in israel itself. thousands of people calling for an end to the violence and aid to the people in gaza. here in

the bay area people from all faiths came out to the peninsula calling for the release of hostages. >> betty yu has got that story. . >> reporter: they sang, they prayed, and shared stories of hostages being held by hamas. more than a dozen different faith leaders came together at saint bartholomew catholic church in a san mateo to show support and stand against hatred of any kind. >> i think what people forget a lot of times is catholics, muslims, and jews are brothers. we are all together. we are all religions. i went to sarah high school for four years, and i felt very welcomed there. >> reporter: isaac said it's been tough to see the war unfold on social media. it's not jews versus muslims, we're all together and need to be
11:04 pm
standing as one. . >> reporter: on saturday night, it's twaktly what they did. the vigil was organized by the peninsula jewish community center, or pjcc. the ceo said there has been a rise in anti-semitism in the bay area. >> there's great anxiety and fear amongst people in the jewish community, and people have been directly impacted. we haven't had any incidents, thankfully, in foster city as of yet. we're hopeful we won't. there has been a great deal of support in our community, but we've seen reports from all across the country, and my hope is events like tonight will remind people that's not okay. >> to create a more just and uplifting community. >> reporter: the mayors of san mateo, menlo park, and foster city spoke before the crowd. some mentioned troubling cases of anti-semitism in bay area schools. >> there's swastikas in the school yards and especially in classrooms where there's comments being made that are
11:05 pm
very anti-semitic. and that's the thing that i am proud of at this event tonight is the message is about hope. the message is about getting the hostages back. the message is about supporting the people. it is not an anti-palestinian event. >> reporter: the council on american islamic relations said its documented more than a 200% increase in complaints of islamophobia across the country. >> the so-called progressive bay area is not exempt. we have received reports of violent hate crimes in monterey, in stanford, in petaluma, in san francisco, and the list goes on. our community is under attack. >> i see that sign over there says pray for peace, what will you be praying for tonight? >> tonight i will be praying for the safe return of hostages. >> the uc system is pledging $7 million to combat islamophobia
11:06 pm
and anti-semitism on ten campuses. uc president michael drake says the money will go towards emergency mental health resources, new educational programs, and additional training for leadership, faculty, and staff. this comes a week after uc officials condemned acts of bigotry and intimidation happening at colleges. uc president drake said, quote, we are doubling down on who we are, an educational institution guided by facts and data but also a moral compass that helps us find our way to compassion and understanding in difficult moments. you can always find the very latest on the israel/hamas war on our website, kpix.com, and streaming on the cbs news app. back in the bay area, kind of a rainy day as we look at the time lapse of bands of rain we saw coming down across san francisco in the middle of the day. darren peck is here with a look at what happens now, darren? >> well, we're saying good-bye to that system. and the video we were seeing there, that was the highlight of this whole thing over the last five days.
11:07 pm
storm finally came onshore after sitting off the coast for like five days, throwing us occasional showers. i'll show you the rainfall totals in the complete forecast, but here's the last little gasp of this. you see that line across the bay? that's the last little cold front on the back edge of this thing that just passed across the bay. so we're 98% done. if anything happens, it'll be a few light showers tonight in the north bay and the north bay mountains. most of the tomorrow is over there. tomorrow it's in nevada. when you wake up tomorrow, it's going to be blue sky. show you the rainfall totals for the whole thing, more impressive, perhaps, just the last 24 hours. and we've got a look at thanksgiving. i'll see you with that in the complete first alert forecast in a few minutes. >> thanks, darren. in san francisco apec is over, the city dismantling the maze of barricades and security checkpoints. and while the fences come down, bars and restaurants are adding up their losses. the city saw apec as a boon for local business, but those barricades apparently cut
11:08 pm
down on sales near moscone center. >> if you're a small business in san francisco, i don't think you would see the benefit of the apec, right? if you're a large hotel, right, a rental company, where they rented a lot of the fences and stuff, i think you will see the benefit, obviously, right. >> he said he estimated $250,000 in losses from apec. he asked for support from san francisco. he said the city acknowledged the problem but did not take any action. >> we asked mayor london breed directly about the city possibly helping some of those businesses. she would only say she empathizes with what they've had to put up with. >> thank you for your patience and your understanding, because it was not easy to get around in this city. you know, like we had 21 leaders of 21 economies and it required a lot of increased security like nothing we've ever experienced, even on just a presidential visit. so we truly appreciate the people
11:09 pm
of san francisco for their patience, their understanding. >> the next big question people in the city are asking is will the clean streets and increased shelter beds continue now that the eyes of the world are no longer on san francisco. like in the tenderloin where the city managed to transform one of its most troubled neighborhoods, showing they can change the status quo. >> before the conference and stuff it was really, really crowded. and now it's really, really clean. >> do you think this proved it could stay that way? >> yeah. oh, absolutely. >> do you think it will? >> it can. it can, so -- and i think they've got plenty of money for it. >> we saw cleanliness and we saw safety improve. >> does it feel like something that's doable every day then? >> yes, yes, it has to be. it's critical for us to continue to keep children safe and also our
11:10 pm
guests safe. >> staying in the tenderloin, volunteers at saint anthony's organized cold weather supplies like socks, scarves, and blankets for people in need. they'll be having a block party on tuesday to give it ail away. and the sf marin food bank kicked off its 12th annual turkey drive today. they're hoping to collect at least 1,300 turkeys over the next couple of days. still ahead at 11:00, it's been 45 years since the jonestown tragedy. how survivors are remembering those who lost their lives. and the busiest travel time of the year coming up. why this year, though, might see record breaking numbers of americans hitting the roads. we'll be right back. when we challenged ourselves to create the world's most emotional and sustainable vehicle, we had tothink differently. we had to push the boundaries to not just create a car but a movement. every fisker ocean is produced
11:11 pm
with over 50 kilograms of ethically sourced, recycled materials. it's about accomplishing something bigger than itself. a clean future for all.
11:12 pm
today marks 45 years since the jonestown tragedy when more than 900 members of the people's temple died in 1978. tragedy has deep ties to the bay area as the people's temple headquarters was in san francisco before cult leader jim jones moved it to south america. >> today survivors and victim's families gathered in oakland far memorial. da lin was there. >> give us this day. >> reporter: 45 years later, the pain, guilt, and anger still linger over the deaths of so many people. a total of 918,
11:13 pm
more than 300 were children. retired san francisco police captain yolanda williams is a survivor and a former member of the people's temple. she, her husband, and their young child followed cult leader jim jones to jonestown guyana to create what they thought was a socialist paradise. >> it was truly an active concentration camp, and we were guarded 24/7 by armed security officers. >> reporter: she convinced jones to let her family leave about one year before the massacre. most people were not allowed to leave. >> they were innocent. they are victims. they did not willingly die. they did not willingly take the poison. this was a massacre. >> reporter: winona says she lost 27 family members, including her mother and her 2-month-old cousin, the youngest victim in the massacre. >> we lost generations. we lost
11:14 pm
babies. we lost seniors. >> reporter: she says jones was a mass murderer. she and some survivors are still upset his name you see here, which is his legal name, was engraved on the memorial plaques along with the other victims at evergreen cemetery in oakland. many of the victims were buried here. >> you got to be real in denial and delusional to insult us and want us to honor jim jones. it's ludicrous. it's insensitive. >> reporter: but other survivors and family members say having his name here doesn't change the fact that jones was a sick and evil person. >> whoever died that day, their names are all in alphabetical order on those plaques as a point of history. you can't change history, as much as you want. >> reporter: as the fight to remove his name continues, both sides agree, people should learn from the tragedy. >> nothing is going to be given to you freely. there is always a cost. and whenever someone
11:15 pm
tries to take your identity from you and tell you how you should think and who you should be, that should be one of the warning signs. >> reporter: some survivors and family members say they forgive jim jones. they say they don't want to live with hate and it's their way to heal from the pain and suffering. taking a live look now at sfo and in oakland we're officially in the thanksgiving holiday travel season. expected to be one of the busiest in years with aaa projecting nearly 7.5 million californians hitting the road for the holidays or the air. and while both sfo and oakland are expecting the biggest crowds they have seen since the pandemic, most will be traveling by car. >> more than 6.38 are going to be traveling by car. it's going to be busy on the roads. you can guarantee that wherever you're going it's going to be really busy. >> i'm just going to my living room. the good news of all of
11:16 pm
this is that the price of gas is down from outrageous to merely scandalous. the average price for a gallon of regular gas, this is supposed to be good news, is $5.15. that's down 35 cents. in oakland it's down about 35 cents as well. in san jose, down about 50 cents from last year. it's still five bucks a gallon. >> that's a lot. >> yep. >> but at least we might not have any rain during this thanksgiving. >> it's what he says. there's no rain on thanksgiving. that's going to work out. we don't have to factor that in. and it's really starting like by tomorrow morning, forget it. you don't have to think about rain for a while probably. >> oh yeah? okay. >> i'll show you what i mean by that. maybe like the rest of the month. that's a live look at first alert doppler. and you can see what's probably the very final little act of this system that's been with us for five days. see the line of rain there? that diagonal line, that is a weak cold front, the trailing back edge of this system as it leaves. there's a possibility we might have a
11:17 pm
stray shower that crops up, but it's a really low chance. when you wake up tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m., there won't be any clouds, finished. how did we do? rainfall totals for the total, let's bring this back. i'll explain it this way, the numbers here are what we got for the whole period. 2 inches of rain in the north bay. about 1.8 inches for santa rosa and 1.25 inches for san francisco. most of it came in the last 24 hours. you're just looking at the last 24 hours. this system came onshore and gave us the main event last night. that's what it looked like yesterday in the late morning and then the center of it got pushed onshore and i'm going to pause it right there. that was this morning at around 2:00 a.m. when the most impressive timeframe for this whole thing finally occurred. the widespread steady rain that gave us the majority of those totals for rain. and by the time we got into the afternoon,
11:18 pm
things started to quiet down. look at the visualization on this, in terms of where it rained. the big picture view of where did it rain exactly and who got the most, north bay. and it was through the coastal side of sonoma county. this storm really was centered right on the north bay. not bad, came right for us. how much rain might we get between now and sunrise tomorrow? probably none. that's it, that's our last chance. here's how it will look the next few days. as the system leaves, plenty of blue sky the next couple of days. the one thing you're going to see in the seven-day forecast for tuesday and wednesday they're going to look cloudy. i don't want you to look at that and go what's up with that, see the rain there, it's just high clouds. a few high clouds for tuesday and wednesday. they're out of here by thursday. then it'll be sunny and near 70 for many of our inland spots for thanksgiving and really most of the weekend. that's tomorrow, though. haven't quite warmed up enough yet. near the mid-60s tomorrow. here's the interesting takeaway. where's it going to rain between now and the next ten days, which
11:19 pm
brings us to tuesday, november 28th. look at the storm track. boy is that out of whack. it's all going to canada, even like seattle and portland aren't going to get much over the next ten days. this is the time of year where they usually get some of their most rain actually in november. so the storm track's doing an odd thing for the next ten days. it's really going away. but it's great news for thanksgiving. temperatures will be in the upper 60s to near 70. plenty of sunshine, and it's a good thing we put some rain in the gauge, this system kind of brought us right about to average where we should be this time of year. now we have several months to go to hopefully get some more. okay, matt, over to you. >> thanks, darren. ahead in sports, the 49ers welcoming the bucs on sunday. they'll have more confidence in their quarterback than they did last december when tampa was in town. plus, the clutchest shot of the season on saturday, was it enough? mo

look mom, i found one. oh, yeah, you did. but we need an atm from our bank unless you want to spend a small fortune in fees. uh, no, thank you. banking with us means more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined. well, that would be convenient but there is no b-m-o here. ah, you can just call us bee-mo, and there is now. you know what else is convenient? mobile banking that makes it easy to track your goals and manage your money get out of town. but we... just got here. when a bank helps you get and stay ahead. that's the bmo effect. ♪ bmo ♪

the longest losing streak in the steph curry warriors era is ten, and steph was out with an injury during that time. so even seeing this streak get to five concerning for the dubs entering saturday as they faced off against okc. steph curry back in the lineup after missing the past two games with a knee injury. no signs of rust for steph. he scored 25, including this clutch fourth quarter three to make it a one-possession game. two minutes to go, andrew wiggins knocks down the triple to give the dubs the lead. but the thunder wouldn't go away. tie game in the final seconds. no good. loony gets it back to wiggins. he capitalizes, puts the dubs up three with less than two seconds to go. one last chance for okc. inbounds to chet holmgren, and he beats the buzzer, sends it to overtime. tough contest there from wiggins but even better
11:23 pm
shot. in overtime it was all alexander, turns it into points and transition. sga finishes with 40, spoils the party at chase center. thunder win it 130-123. the warriors have lost six straight games. when the tampa bay buccaneers come to santa clara in december 2022 they must have been licking their chops. they were ready to face off against some kid named brock purdy making his first career start. back for a second straight year, a lot has changed. when he faces the bucs this sunday, it will be his 18th career start. a lot has transpired since then. he led the niners to the nfc championship game. the team traded away their former franchise qb, and to be blunt, he shocked the nfl world. all pro left tackle trent williams described purdy's meteoric rise nicely. >> it's like hitting the lottery you get a player like that with the last pick of the draft. literally like playing the lottery and winning the powerball when it's at $2 billion. so you know, i'm just
11:24 pm
as shocked as everybody else. it makes sense once you understand the guy he is, but i mean, you're right, it doesn't happen like that very often. >> the bucs know purdy's potential this time around, and the niners know they'll have to shut down baker mayfield and an offense loaded with weapons. the former first overall pick has cleaned up his turnover issues, 15 touchdowns to 4 interceptions. mike evans is less than 300 yards away from another 1,000-yard season. >> i think baker's playing at a really high level right now. i think guys probably didn't expect him going into the bucs to play as great as he's playing. he's playing really well. and mike evans, the burst off the ball, he's year 12 now, what's he doing over there. i need to ask him what kind of treatments he's doing. >> 1:05 kick-off in santa clara. coming up, big day in college football with plenty of cfp and bowl game implications. plus, throw out the record
