countless more injured on bay area streets over the last decade. >> every year it's hard for me to see this, not just the lives that were taken away, but the family members and the other multiple layers of lives and what pain they're going through. then we'll get you ready for another week of the testimony in the high profile bob lee murder trial. plus balancing oakland's budget could mean big cuts, how oaklanders are responding to the attempt to keep the town on track. >> good evening. i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. we begin with the rain moving in later this week and what it means for us in the bay area. >> national weather service says an atmospheric river -- darren will talk about this in a minute -- is headed for the north bay later this week. cal fire and sonoma county says fire risk should stay normal between november and february with little chance of large fires during that time. >> some aspects that we are looking to get done this time

before the rain really comes in on wednesday, we are looking at getting some of our modification work. we'll be doing some prescribed burning. >> and residents can use the time to create defensible space and secure windows before the wind and rain arrives and arrive they will. this escalated quickly, didn't it? >> yes. >> it's a dramatically different forecast even than it was last night. we were talking about the possibility for rain late last week. now we're talking about just how intense this might be. a little perspective, had a little light rain today. maybe you got a drop or two. we can show you what the few light showers look like today across the bay. we might see a few more overnight. see what that looks like on here? let's do the comparison because what we had today was a very weak dissipating cold front that didn't have a whole lot fueling it. in fact, here's your example now. what we're looking at on the
11:03 pm
northern hemisphere is tonight's rain and i'm only showing this to you now so you can have the perspective how different what's coming is going to look in the comparison to that. watch what happens as we transition this from tonight to wednesday's system developing out here. by the time we've gotten to wednesday afternoon, now you've got a much more impressive plume of rain directed right at us. by the way, brian mentioned it a moment ago. this does have an atmospheric river component fueling it. when you look at the water vapor imagery that shows up on here, you see that plume of moist had you're coming out of the subtropics and pointed directly at california. these are usually the systems that give us some of our best rain and by the way, just to clear off the water vapor imagery, it's coming just to the north of us. we got a lot to talk about. wednesday through saturday going to be pretty active and i'll show you what it looks like, the latest thinking and timing and amounts in the full forecast coming up. back to you. >> thank you. san francisco's project
11:04 pm
zero was meant to stop all traffic deaths in the city by 2024, but this year hasn't gone the way officials hoped. so far there are more than 30 traffic-related deaths. tonight san francisco leaders and community members came together for a world day of remembrance for traffic victims. >> our amanda hari spoke with a woman whose life was altered forever when her mother became a victim. >> reporter: this somber memorial illustrates the scale of just how many people have lost their lives walking on the streets of san francisco, 317 sets of shoes, each with a person's name next to it. ♪ each of those 317 victims' names were read aloud to remember them on world day of remembrance for traffic victims, not to mention the countless more seriously injured in traffic accidents. >> this is a photo of my
11:05 pm
mother. >> reporter: like jenny's mother. she was walking across the street in the richmond district when a speeding driver in an suv made a left turn and hit her. >> she's nowhere near who she was. >> reporter: her mother is still with us, but her life will never be the same. >> she survived physically, but she mentally is not the same person. her body was thrown across the other side of the road where she suffered traumatic brain surgery. now she has major tbi, ptsd. she's suicidal and severely depressed. >> reporter: on average walk sf says about 500 people are severely injured in these types of accidents each year. now she says her mother needs around-the-clock care. the accident happened in 2011. the shoes on the steps represent deaths in the last decade all coming after her mother's accident and the beginning of her fight for change. >> every year it's hard for me to see that so many, not just the lives that were taken away, but the family members and the
11:06 pm
other multiple layers of lives and what pain they're going through. >> we started counting when the city passed vision zero in 2014. >> so many beautiful lives cut short. >> reporter: executive director of walk sf, jodie medeiros, says they called the shoes ghost shoes painted white representing every person killed in traffic crashes since city leaders committed to vision zero, a prevent preventive approach. the legislation calls for slower streets, safer street designs and outreach to educate people on street safety, but she said as the world changes, it need to be updated. >> how do we have a new policy that reflects that learning and is very aggressive and ambitious because zero is the right number? >> reporter: while legislation helps she adds, it's important for individual drivers to take responsibility and realize they share the streets with others.
11:07 pm
>> it's meant for pedestrians, drivers, and bicyclists, but we also have many, many cases that speeding kills. so they have to understand that regardless of why they're speeding, they need to understand they need to not speed. >> reporter: walk sf says pedestrian deaths are at their highest number since 1981. so reminders like this are needed more than ever before. >> san francisco fire department sent their chopper out this afternoon to help rescue a guy trapped on a cliff after officials say he wandered off the marked trails and then he couldn't climb back up. he didn't have any serious injuries. >> thank you so much. i love you. >> although it is beautiful and the day is nice and the weather's beautiful, there are trails and we recommend people to stay on the marked trails and to avoid going off of the trails themselves. >> at the same time flood advisories are in effect for parts of the bay area. officials urge caution near
11:08 pm
beaches and shorelines as some of the trails may be submerged. in cupertino a gas leak and water line break this morning led to evacuations and a shelter-in-place ordinary creek line and november drives near highway 85. tonight residents are back in their homes after being given the all clear. the city and pg&e have not disclosed the official cause of the leak. >> i didn't expect to see an airplane drop out of the sky. four people were injured when a small plane crashed during a drag race in southern california at the pomona fairplex. the plane slammed into several cars and rvs, but amazingly, nobody on the ground was hit and the four people on board the plane survived. >> the two were coming in almost side by side and all of a sudden one of them just dropped out of the sky. the nose pitched down and it hit the ground. >> i know they became concerned when they saw the low altitude that the plane was displaying.
11:09 pm
>> hazmat crews got on scene to clean up the jet fuel that spilled on the pavement. the races were temporarily paused and then started back up later in the afternoon. we are heading into the sixth week of the bob lee murder trial in san francisco. nima momeni, the man accused of killing the cashapp founder, spent most of last week on the witness stand. the prosecution's story? momeni was angry at lee over something that happened with his sister. he drove lee to a secluded area on main street, stabbed him and left him to die. the defense's story, momeni acted in self-defense testifying before the court saying lee actually attacked him with a knife after what he said was a bad joke. >> he did make some headway. he took the stand. he faced the jurors. that's always something that matters. they will look at him as a human being and not essentially the boogeyman anymore. he presented an alternative version of events and may have raised some
11:10 pm
doubts. >> this week there will be another revealing moment. the judge is allowing jurors to submit questions for momeni to answer. you can get the very latest on everything happening in the trial on kpix.com and the cbs news app. in oakland the city's ongoing efforts to try and balance the city's budget may likely mean reducing the police force and browning out some fire stations. da lin reports on the options on the table. >> reporter: oakland is facing a deficit of $93 million for this fiscal year alone. since public safety takes up a majority of the budget, experts say any kind of cut will likely involve police and fire. much like an emergency, oakland's finance department calling for urgent solutions to close the deficit. the city admits it's already spending money from its emergency reserves. >> to cut an already short,
11:11 pm
shortened police department makes absolutely no sense and to cut the fire department makes absolutely no sense. >> reporter: tahira hodge and her family evacuated last month from their home in the keller fire and credits the fire department for saving her neighborhood. >> i looked out and saw smoke and fire in the trees. >> reporter: in a contingency budget plan released in june, the city talked about reducing the police force down to around 600 officers. right now the city has roughly 670 officers. oakland had 613 officers in 2013, so 600 would make it the smallest force in years. the contingency plan would also brown out a handful of fire stations, freeze positions across city departments and reduce hours at rec centers, libraries and senior centers. >> my priority is public safety and a clean city. i need the
11:12 pm
police and the fire department to respond. >> reporter: councilman noel gallo and others have warned mayor sheng thao and her allies about this financial mess in june. the current budget depends on selling the coliseum, but the city has not received money from the deal. >> at the end of the day, we're going to have to negotiate with the unions. we got to make some reductions. we may have to lay some people off. >> reporter: he says cuts alone won't be enough. they need concessions from the unions. >> crime numbers were down. so that restores positivity for people to want to come and shop in oakland, do business in oakland. >> reporter: business owners and residents worry any cuts will derail progress made on public safety. >> having safety is number one and you have to because if not, businesses will close. >> we need the firemen. we need the cops because it's too much crime in oakland. >> reporter: residents like tahira admit any solutions will be painful. >> they need to figure out something else because the
11:13 pm
safety of everyone in oakland is on the line. >> reporter: the mayor has been recalled and will be gone after december 5th. the city council will be meeting on tuesday to talk about how to solve this budget crisis. still ahead, how communities on each side of the u.s./mexico border are using music to bridge their physical and cultural divide. but first, a heads up from local weather officials about the last of the king tides for this month. they'll be back. so will we after a break.

welcome back on this sunday night. flood advisories are up for parts of the bay area coast. that's yesterday's king tides along the embarcadero. sidewalks were drenched by the seawater. king tides do offer a glimpse of the future when rising sea levels make these events routine a staffer said. >> when sea levels are a foot higher than they are now, which will happen sometime during this century, this high tide that we're observing today will be the high tide that we observe every day and the royal tide will be the one that's higher than that. >> she also says the port and other stakeholders have to consider not just gradual sea level rise, but events that push water levels higher like storms and winds when planning to protect the shoreline of the future. king tides are backing
11:16 pm
off now, but they'll be back in mid-december. talking about storms, we got one coming. >> yeah, we do. this will be quite rainy, especially in the north bay second half of this week. there's still a lot of nuance to it. the seven-day forecast you'll see rain every day wednesday into saturday, but it's a complicated story that requires a little bit of explanation. it's not going to rain consistently for four days, but that's the way it looks if you're looking on the forecast on your phone or on a seven-day. the first thing, morning lows tomorrow, they're still cold, so 30s in the north bay valleys, low 40ss for just about everybody else. the next two mornings will be like this monday and tuesday. i don't want to leave out the fact you got to bundle up the next couple mornings. let's look ahead here and what we want to start out by looking at is where that system is on
11:17 pm
wednesday. we've jumped ahead. we're visualizing on here the start of this, wednesday morning with this long plume of rain off the coast. we'll look at this in two ways. the first thing i want you to see is the broad overview of how this system will stick around. watch what happens as we let this play wednesday into saturday, fairly stationary. you are looking at four days on here where there's this storm parked right off the coast and it continues to funnel rain our way. we need more specifics. we need to get as detailed as we can with where the forecast sits at this point. let's go old school a moment. we'll do a compare and contrast. if what we were just looking at over here is the american model, we look at two models when we go long range. i want to contrast using the euro model up here. this one has done better in general with winter storms really over the last couple seasons actually, certainly done better with each of the weaker systems that have come through so far. let's look at
11:18 pm
this and slow it down and try and give you the specifics as best as the forecast models are able to right now. there's the start, wednesday morning. there's a pattern here, heaviest rain really with a focus on the north bay. we'll look at rainfall totals on the map of the bay in a second. you'll see the difference that really shows up for santa rosa with everybody else. everyone will get in on the act. that's wednesday morning. i'm going to let this play. you'll see all day wednesday, pretty much all day thursday and then the system will pull away very late thursday night. widespread fairly steady rain for much of the bay through that period with a focus on the north bay. we get a little break thursday night into friday and friday night the system comes back onshore. that's your atmospheric river, that consistent plume of rain like a hose pointed at the west coast, in this case at the bay, and friday night into saturday it rakes across the bay again. we get more rain and maybe a few follow-up spotty showers going
11:19 pm
into sunday. this is likely going to adjust and change in timing and details. that's where the forecast stands now and i know there are a lot of questions knowing the amount of rain we have coming our way. we'll put the rainfall totals on here and bracket it in two different time spans. we'll first look at the rainfall for wednesday by itself, just wednesday. there's really not that much rain here on this first pretty active day in the south bay. we get about 0.2-inch of rain, same story there for the tri valley, but look what happens as we walk our way to the north bay and check out santa rosa's number. that's just wednesday. i'm going to get out of the way. santa rosa will get about 2 inches, big difference there. so we aren't super concerned about flooding from streams or creeks because this is the first one and the ground can absorb it. now what we'll do is look at the total. the numbers we're about to put on here will be a more generalized overall look at the total
11:20 pm
amount of rain from wednesday through saturday. san jose, you're in it. for that whole period you could get 1 to 2 inches, livermore same story, san francisco maybe 2 to 3 inches and going back to santa rosa now look at the number for the whole event. we could see as much as 3 to 4 inches of rain up there. this is a situation where that could lead to some streams and creek issues, certainly some low lying intersections. it's spread out over four days and this is where the forecast stands now with the caveat that this system has fluctuated a bit and we'll give this a little more time to play out to get specific details as we get closer to it. that's what it looks like on your phone. that's what it looks like in our seven-day. it's going to rain? certainly, but not every moment of that four-day period. there will be breaks and some parts of the bay will feel this more than others. stay with us
11:21 pm
the next few days. we'll have much more to come. more of president-elect donald trump's cabinet picks coming under fire and a potential investigation, the newest allegations against the would be secretary of defense.

president-elect donald trump got a heroes welcome from the crowd at the ufc event at new york's madison square garden last night, but the real fight is waiting on capitol hill as several of his cabinet picks face mounting scrutiny. cbs news has learned his pick to lead the department of defense, former fox news host pete hegseth, paid a settlement to a woman who had accused him of sexual assault back in 2017. hegseth's attorney admits to
11:25 pm
making the payments but said it was to ward off a baseless lawsuit that would have likely gotten him fired from fox and insists that she initiated a consensual encounter. hegseth denies the allegations and no charges were filed. >> again, i have to say president trump, when he came into office in 2017, had cabinet members he really had no personal relationship with, had no working background with. he wants to correct that this time by finding people he has a good working relationship with. he knows how they think. they know how he thinks. he thinks it will lead to better decision making in his administration. >> some of his other picks are also controversial. those include former florida congressman matt gaetz for attorney general. he resigned last week ending a house ethics investigation into alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. after the break, how youth on either side of the u.s./mexico border are working to bridge the divide through
