6:15 am
6:16 am
welcome back. despite two republican senators saying no way to the confirmation of pete hegseth to be our nation's next defense secretary he got just enough votes to pass out of committee and now goes to the full senate today. a lot to watch here. republican senators collins of maine and lisa murkowski of alaska joined democrats in voting no. cbs news confirmed that hegseth told senators he paid $20,000 to a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017. we'll be watching the full vote today not only locally but also on cbs news 24/7. in southern california, people living in the areas burned by the eaton fire have new concerns. rain in the forecast this weekend. and that means there's gnu risk. mudslides. the reality here is homes still standing are now at risk of sliding off the mountain. in response, you see these crews. they have been very
6:17 am
busy cleaning up 200 debris basins over near those fire areas of pasadena and altadena. >> your best bet is not to be in a home when it rains, the most conservative thing to do is to not be in that home when it rains. if we have not come and seen you yet. >> wow, the city of altadena offering free sandbags to people who live along the foothills in anticipation of that rain. just like california cannot catch a break from fire or water. >> those poor residents in that area, i mean, they just went through so much and now they're like okay. we want the rain that's good news for helping our firefighters. but not good news for how devastated some of the area is. it's tough. i was talking about the drought monitor morning. we have two really amazing seasons of atmospheric rivers back-to-back. and in that caused its own devastation but really helped that drought monitor significantly in southern california and northern california too. i mean the whole state of california is pretty much out of drought conditions across the board. now we're starting to see it inch back and it's starting down in los angeles and san diego county.
6:18 am
we're already in extreme drought conditions throughout both those areas. just as of yesterday. and hopefully this rain this weekend will help that somewhat. but the reality is, is we're not going to see these heavy winters like we're used to with rain forever. so a couple of things to mention. that rain is also going to impact us here locally this this weekend. just not nearly as much i mean down in southern california expected to get anywhere up to an inch of rain. back here locally like trace amounts. showers up in the tahoe area and that's in just a minute because that's kind of exciting. snow for the friends all the way up near palisades and all the way over into the north star and down in south lake tahoe as well. but for now, this is what we're expecting today. pretty much tomorrow too as we head into this weekend. cold front is sweeping through and that's dropping our temperatures from the upper 60s that way had yesterday in san francisco to the low 60s and all the way over into the santa clara valley it was just yesterday that we were talking about 70s. now we're already down into the 60s once again and then hit the 50s by tomorrow. interestingly enough, we're expecting drier than normal conditions for the next six to
6:19 am
ten days widespread out there most of the state of california. not nearly as much as what we're used to during this time of year. advancing the clock all the way into our saturday forecast, i want to show you what it's going to look like for us. we're mostly just going to see cloudy conditions in the forecast anywhere from santa rosa all the way down into the santa clara valley. at times we can see light pop-up showers. nothing heavy, no thunderstorm activity. in some of the higher elevated areas, because of how cold it's going get this weekend we might even see just little dusting of snow at the peaks and once he -- we head into sunday evening we will start to clear up. another thing too is our friends up in the sierra expected to see anywhere up from 1 to 2 inches of snow which is kind of a big deal because they've been dealing with dry conditions recently. i was just up there last weekend and it's pretty icy right now especially in the areas that don't get that direct sunlight. now as we head into this weekend's forecast, and you are staying local, we're pretty much dealing with upper 50s and lower 60s. nothing too extreme in the forecast through the next seven days. but i kind of like
6:20 am
pulling the 7 day model up to show you that even in the inland areas we're all experiencing the same thing. get out there and get the fresh air this weekend. gianna? thank you. let's talk about traffic and if you are headed out the door making that ride over towards the bay bridge. not bad. but maybe you want to skip that and work your way towards b.a.r.t. this morning. you are not alone. few people out there as well and you have got someone there waiting on the platform as we speak. this is a live look here at the orinda b.a.r.t. station and trains are on time this morning. that's good news. no major delays to report for b.a.r.t. as you head out and looks like people are getting up and out the door on a friday morning. okay. let's jump to the freeways right now. again if you are skipping mass transit and taking the roadways, so far, so good. pretty quiet conditions on a friday morning. which is great news. for anyone miking -- making that drive into san francisco. the overview map, you can see, for the most part, things are fairly quiet. and right now, no major delays along 880 or 92 the san mateo bridge. well, the first time grammy nominees are on a quest to save the planet one album at a time. how their work with an

6:24 am
spots throughout the sierra-at-tahoe region and you know the best part? we finally have some snow in the forecast heading into this weekend. as of now, there's still no new snow in areas like kirkwood and heavenly and sierra-at-tahoe too. but hey, still great machine groomed conditions at the base and some packed powder up north. speaking of north, let's head all the way up to north lake tahoe real fast. diamond peak, north star, we can see anywhere up to 1 to 2 inches of snow heading into in weekend's forecast. that means heading out on the roads today you might not need the chains but once we head into this weekend, and you are heading back to the bay area, you probably want to keep them in the car just in case. you head over to palisades, there's about 19 to 66 inches at the base. beautiful conditions to get out there and get you some fresh air and of course hit those slopes and we'll keep you updated on that toyota tahoe report. seems like a great time when we talk about tahoe and how beautiful it is up there to also talk about project earth. two young designers in san francisco and an award-winning folk rock band from the south are on a
6:25 am
shared quest to help out our planet. >> yeah, i love this. as anne makovec reports, together they have cut a path to music's biggest night and possibly get this, a grammy. >> reporter: in san francisco,on the ground floor of an old victorian,ly find an unusual studio. welcome to the office of ordinary things. once inside, you realize there's nothing ordinary about it. >> we focus on, you know, working with companies and organizations that are doing something beneficial for the planet, for its people. >> there's so many creative and effective ways to be more sustainable and just reduce the waste. >> reporter: decedenters jonnyblack and giorgia sage work in a studio that focuses on climate, sustainability and social good. their tools include -- >> sustainable papers, printed in the u.s. versus overseas to

6:29 am
6:31 am
well, good morning to you and now taking a live look outside and happy friday tgif as we look over towards san francisco. as we like to call this the jewel box. because of all the beautiful twinkling lights and looks gorgeous right now before the sun comes up. >> yes, it's going to be cold this weekend, jess. >> it's going to be colder. i mean yesterday tell me wasn't it gorgeous? >> it's been beautiful the last two days. it's been nice. no jacket walking around. >> a little taste of what i think summer should be like in the bay and you realize summer here is usually just foggy and cool and cloudy but this weekend, we're getting back to that. that cool foggy, cloudy setup right around the corner with daytime highs back to around that upper 50s and lower 60s. today we're still kind of in that hybrid set up where yesterday gosh it was beautiful and i mean we had sunshine all around us and it was in the upper 60s near san francisco and oakland. now we're back down into the low 60s so close to a ten degree jump just right there and all the way down into the santa clara valley, it's a very
6:32 am
similar set up. i mean from santa rosa all the way north to san jose all starting to cool down just a little bit as this cold front approaches us. it's also going to bring in some more clouds for us too. we advance the clock on futurecast to the evening hours tonight. just some partly cloudy skies in the forecast and widespread throughout the bay area. nothing really to write home about. saturday, we start to see a little bit of a rotation in this and we're actually going get a little bit of showers in the north bay to start off around 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 tomorrow. heading into our early sunday morning forecast too. it will be so cool especially in the early morning hours around sunday morning we can even see a little bit of dusting and those higher elevated areas close to the -- santa cruz mountains and of course just throughout the santa clara valley area too. once we head into sunday evening, that's when we start to clear up and then heading into next week we dry up fast too. now another thing to mention. if maybe you were thinking of heading up to tahoe this weekend. well, we're getting a little bit of rain but they're getting something at least. about 1 to 2 inches of snow expected widespread from truckee all the way down into kirkwood and i'll have more on this coming up in a bit. for now over
6:33 am
to you, g. jessica, thank you. happy friday to you. and you will have a pretty nice drive overall. we're not seeing a lot of major issues or incidents as we take a live look here at the bay bridge. those metering lights are on. so yeah, you are tapping the brake lights just ever so slightly but once you are past this point, it's pretty clear the rest of the way as you work your way over into san francisco. getting an overview here, a few brake lights across the richmond-san rafael bridge. just a little crowded as you head westbound 80 into berkeley and south 880, coming away from the castro valley y getting into hayward. that's a little bit slow so you will have some pockets of slowing down into fremont but the san mateo bridge and dunbarton bridge all clear. benicia bridge looks good as well this morning. here's a live look at 880 along the coliseum. two years since the deadly mass shootings in half-moon bay. seven killed and one injured when a former employee targeted co-workers at two mushroom farms. the accused shooter pled
6:34 am
not guilty to multiple murder charges. trial is set for april. but, you know, digging deeper on to this issue, that shooting or those shootings, exposed the poor living conditions of farm workers having to endure there. you first heard governor gavin newsom highlight it in the very early hours after the violence. and at the time, local leaders promised change. our kenny choi looks at whether they delivered on that change. >> reporter: javier torres has been working at farms in half-moon bay for nearly 50 years. he remembers living with five to ten other workers in single rooms and sleeping on cardboard beds. >> [ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: she is a farm worker advocate and translates for 72-year-old. >> disrupts the families. it puts a lot of stress on the -- on the families, on the couples. on the children. >> reporter: torres now has housing for his family after decades in the fields. but is sharing his early struggles, hoping it will help other field workers find homes too. >> they've worked so hard their
6:35 am
whole lives that they deserve to have a space to call their own. >> reporter: construction is underway at 880 stone pine road to create a mobile housing community for 47 farm worker families. those displaced after the mass shooting two years ago will get priority. ray mueller is a san mateo county supervisor. >> there's a lot of work to be done to improve the living conditions and we're undertaking that now. >> reporter: the other project yet to get underway is a five story affordable housing development for senior farm workers closer to the center of the city at 555 kelly avenue. the city council finally approved it in may after some pushback and criticism from the governor to get the ball moving. >> the feedback that i have heard is there are some merchants who are worried about parking. anytime you do something close to a city center. you tend to hear more objections. >> when the community says yes, we belong here. yes, you are worthy of dignified housing. that creates an inclusive community.
6:36 am
>> reporter: for torres, any housing dedicated to farmworkers will help families who are desperately in need. >> [ speaking in a global language ] he's excited for the stability that it's going to bring several hard working families here on the coast side and seniors that have dedicated their lived to working the fields just like he has. >> the first move in date for the mobile home project is expected in may. supervisor mueller says there's also a $2 million grant that will soon be announced to improve the existing farm worker housing. so gianna, a ways to go there. >> yeah. definitely a ways to go but i hope it happens sooner than later. turning now to san francisco where a recently reinstated policy on shelters is causing uncertainty for homeless families. the city is putting a 90 day limit on the length of time families can stay in shelters with some exceptions. that policy had been on hold since the start of the pandemic. but its return comes at a time when the number of families on the street is skyrocketing. san
6:37 am
francisco conducted its most recent point in time count last january. now the report as you can see here found 405 homeless families in san francisco. that is up 94% from 2022. the city says part of that jump is because their data collection practices have actually improved nearly a third of those families were unsheltered. city officials say reviving the policy will help them prioritize families with the most urgent needs. our kara st. cyr spoke with one family who just got notice their time in the shelter will be up very soon. >> reporter: maria's family came to the salvation army harbor house from honduras last october. she told us through a translator the move to the u.s. was a necessity. >> [ speaking in a global language ] i came to this country looking to help improve my daughter's health. because in my home country, she can't receive the treatment and the resources she needs. >> reporter: her 6-year-old daughter has a disease called clipper syndrome. a condition
6:38 am
that affects the brain and spinal cord. maria says the best mode cal care for her daughter is here in the u.s. but now that's being jeopardized by a change in the city's policy. tightens eligibility for who gets priority in the shelters. >> i panicked when they told me. i'm worried and i'm feeling frustrated and i have a child who has a disability. my husband and i are very worried about not having anywhere to go. >> reporter: we've learned the harbor house sent out the letters to residents who've lived in the shelters fortune more than 9 at days. it gives families a final 30 day extension before they have to leave. maria says her deadline is february 10th. she's devastated. >> [ speaking in a global language ] i don't have the slightest idea of what we're going to do. we don't have family who can help support us here. it's just me, my husband and my children, we're all we have. and i came to this country to help find a treatment for my daughter. >> reporter: san francisco's department of homelessness and supportive housing rolled back
6:39 am
covid era extensions for families staying in 90 day shelters in december. the new policy allows for up to three 30 day extensions based on individual family circumstances. it's part of a larger reform meant to reduce shelter wait lists and prioritize families and most urgent need. hsh told us in a statement the intent of the policy is not to push families out of shelter prematurely but to enshire that shelter is used as an emergency resource. when we first reported on the policy change back in november, hope camer with compass family services says she worried it would only put more families back on the street. >> providers want flow. a short shelter stay interim housing and permanent housing solutions. but what's happening with these changes is that a family going to flow from the shelter back out on to the street. >> reporter: there's no possibility for an extension for maria. >> great story. on in map in oakland this morning, a familiar theme.
6:40 am
public schools in danger of running out of money. so let's talk about alameda county. and their superintendent. that boss of education there says that oakland unified has to take action by june to fix the problem or end up under the supervision of a state trustee. a letter from the county superintendent cites a likely shortfall of nearly $100 million a year. in fact it says the district could run out of cash during the next academic year. letter also cites ongoing problems like declining enrollment and quote, operational dysfunction closed quote. in response, county leaders sending in a fiscal advisor to help with some restructuring. the clock is ticking there. on the map now to san francisco. city officials trying to figure out who painted curbs red over at the intersections in the sunset district. so here's what happened. the sfmta says several red zones were illegally painted near the intersections off of balboa street this week. see it right there. the new law in california does make it illegal to park a car within 20

lottery tickets. they will cost more. that is starting in a couple of months in april. lottery officials say jackpots should grow larger and faster with tickets going up from $2 to $5. now officials are also adding a multiplier that increases the prize for every nonjackpot. so $2 out of the price hike will also be set aside for public schools. ÷time now for a look at what's coming up later on "cbs mornings." here's tony dokoupil. >> hey there, good morning, gianna. happy friday to you. coming up on "cbs mornings." tariffs are a big part of president trump's agenda which could have a big impact on the auto industry. we went to a dealership to see what it means not only for the price of your next car, but for getting it repaired as well. they do break down from time to time. also the state of spirituality with lisa ling is back and she's going to introduce us today to a movement that you can say is associated with the catholic church. but even if you are catholic the chances are you have not heard
6:47 am
of this. you will today. also in a special talk of the table this morning, we've got a big announcement about some of the big names in this year's grammy awards. excited about that as well. all that and more at 7:00. well, how will today's meeting between president donald trump and governor gavin newsom go? we know they have long been at odds with each other. part of los angeles recovery from the devastating and deadly wildfires really depends on help from the federal government. and president trump continues to threaten to withhold federal aid and blames the severity of the fires on improper forestry and water management. so let's drill down on this. cbs california investigative correspondent julie wattsjoining us now to really fact check the statements of the president and also the governor of the state of california. what did you find? >> reporter: hi reed, we reached out to the cbs news confirm team for help on this one. governor newsom set up a fact checking website to fact check what he
6:48 am
calls lies about the california fires. except they're not all lies. so we asked our cbs news confirm team to fact check the governor's fact check. >> i ask you we've got to deal with this misinformation. there were hurricane-force winds of misand disinformation. >> reporter: misinformation after a disaster is nothing new. but governor newsom's approach to combating it certainly is. he set up his very own fact check website using his personal domain. he never directly fact checks president donald trump and you might call it social media diplomacy. instead fact checks posts from people who echo the president's sentiments. some of the fact checks are easily verifiable, like the hollywood sign was not on fire, others require some nuance. which brings us to fact check number one. did governor newsom cut california's fire budget ahead of the l. a. fire? the governor didn't respond until it was picked up by fox news. >> more stymedty from california's democratic leader. >> reporter: he called the
6:49 am
reports he cut california's fire budget by $100 million in the months before the fire a ridiculous lie. except it's not a lie. let's start with the governor's fact check. it is a fact that since he took office, the number of cal fire personnel and cal fire's budget has increased significantly. it did not double. it is also a fact that newsom did cut more than $100 million in supplemental wildfire related funding last year. here's the budget. including $12 million in cuts for home hardening and $5 million for prescribed fires and hand crews but the bulleting of the cuts were for biomass pilot and conservation projects. unlikely the cuts would have actually impacted the l. a. fires. now to fact check number two. did california run out of water? >> for the sake of the smell they have no water. they had no water in the fire hydrants today in los angeles. it was a terrible thing. >> reporter: instead of fact checking the president, the governor fact checked a post
6:50 am
from libs. in fact the reservoirs in california are full. and there's no water shortage in southern california. in fact, state data shows that all but three of california's major reservoirs are at or abovehistorical averages, but the 177 million-gallon reservoir near the palisades fire was out of service when the fires began. newsom said he's launching an independent state investigation. now it's worth noting that the fire hydrants didn't run dry because of the reservoir. according to city officials all three one million gallon tanks were full but they ran out of water by the second morning of the fire fight. they say not due to lack of water but just due to unprecedented demand they should not refill the tanks fast enough to get enough water pressure to feed the hydrants. important context to all of these assertions here. reed? >> yeah. julie, context and journalism matter and we are so
6:51 am
glad to have you live on the airways to make that point. listen i'm an old school journalism guy and you don't get context like that on tiktok and on social media. that's why what you do is so important. the rest in my humble opinion is crap. we need context. julie watts and our cbs confirm team. thank you so much. yes. i'm on a soap box this morning. i literally can't stand the erosion of journalistic sensibilities on things like tiktok and social media. because you need fact check like that. listen, that was bipartisan. they hit governor newsom just like they did donald trump on misinformation. they cut through it and thatserves the community. okay, stepping off the soap box. >> it is needed and you know, it's nice to see her doing stories like this too. by the way former kpix reporter here. >> she will forgive me. >> can't clip it and put it on the reel. >> i know. i teach a journalism class to seventh and eighth graders and so interesting to learn where they get their news. and information. so -- i feel
6:52 am
very strongly that it is our job to teach them, you know, you have to do your due diligence. and reed, as much as possible, to learn exactly what is true. >> yep. context. so important. >> yes. oh man. that was a really big soap box we were just on for a second. i'm going to step off of it. we're going to head over here real fast because from one great point to the next, as we head into this weekend's forecast, if you are going outside, getting fresh air, i think, you know, man, yesterday was sunny and warm. we were going to get a repeat of that again today. well, a cold front is moving its way in. and this is actually going to cool us down significantly and i mean we're talking about yesterday sitting in the 70s throughout some parts of the bay area and tomorrow we're going to be in the 50s and today is kind of the hybrid day. creeping down and stepping down like a ladder as we head into this afternoon for our daytime highs. back into the upper 60s down into the santa clara valley. low 60s along the coast in san francisco. light winds to kick off this morning. but then we head to the north bay as we extend the clock all the way into saturday. just into
6:53 am
those early morning hours. it gets gusty once again close to napa and all the way over into sonoma too. and then once we head into the afternoon hours, something more interesting is happening. let's ditch the winds real fast and you know, it's going to be a breezy one for us heading into this afternoon hours now. also want to show you what's happening in the atmosphere. we're going to see more clouds in the forecast for us and a light chance of showers returning to the bay area. gosh it's the beginning of this month when we saw rain last and now afternoon hours tomorrow little bits and pockets of it. nothing crazy i mean. when we head into the sunday morning forecast. just around 1:00 a.m. and hopefully many of us are just asleep. light showers from offshore bringing in light morning showers for the friends down south to the santa clara valley and potentially snow in the higher peaks and we head into sunday evening, and then that's when we start to clear up. now in the grand scheme of things our long-range models are showing drier than normal conditions for the time being. so as i drop this and show you the next seven days, that's a beautiful beautiful sunrise behind me by the way. as we wake up this morning and get out there and enjoy that. but we're going to warm up into the 60s today. flirt with upper 50s
6:54 am
heading into in next couple of days and that's the trend in the next week. by monday through wednesday of next week more sunshine once again and that will be a treat for us as we head back to work and back to school. in the inland areas it's the same trend too. so beautiful setup for us for the next seven days gianna. i'm going send it over to you. >> all right. thank you. and you know what we're going to do? out live and get a look this morning as people get up and at them and out the door at the orinda b.a.r.t. station. and you know it's been fairy quiet but hey it's friday. less people on roadways and less people taking public transit. it seems like it's the one day maybe a lot of people work from home. but we'll always see lighter conditions per usual but you can see the sun is up and a few people hanging out on the platform there waiting for the next train. b.a.r.t. is on time this morning as no delays or issues. good news there. okay. july over and show you a live look at the golden gate bridge and what a gorgeous view this morning. no delays or brake lights and a nice commute on your friday morning. into san francisco. north of here, you might see a few slow and go conditions through petaluma and
6:55 am
if you are headed southbound 101 into novato. things are just a little slow. and of course you have got the brake lights approaching the richmond-san rafael bridge. but overall, a pretty seamless drive heading into san francisco. i can't say the same for the bay bridge commute. we do have some brake lights here and in fact traffic is pretty busy heading into the city. but the backup is only to the first overpass. it is not extending beyond that point. so westbound 80 might be a little slow as you work your way towards the bridge overall though not a bad ride at all and pretty clear the rest of the way out of the south bay and 880. reed? >> g. thank you so much. time right now 6:54. get ready for the revamped cbs "evening news" starting this monday we have the inside look at the new set and its new location and really a nice new energy coming
