11:03 pm
there. >> reporter: even before entering a single shop, a delivery man dumps live fish into a waterless trash can. a practice the animal activist group says is cruel and indicative of the abuse allegedly happening in these markets. inside a tank with live crabs is so tightly packed they can't even move. while others are tossed into a cardboard box on the floor. turtles and frogs are dumped into plastic bins. one turtle flipped on its back is ignored by workers for hours. >> cramped conditions for animals can lead to a lot of transmissions of diseases between other species and eventually to people. >> reporter: chinatown community leaders maintain that wet markets are rooted in ancient tradition. >> it just puts the whole community in a bad light. >> reporter: donald liu, president of chinese chambers of commerce, and the benevolent

11:05 pm
but provided a statement saying while the allegations are shocking, they can only act what they see. our animal control officers respond to constituent complaints and concerns as quickly as we can with the resources we have available. michelangelo torres is the chairman of the san francisco animal commission, which advises officials on welfare issues. he says more needs to be done. >> we can have more enforcement visits. we can cite the perpetrators of these crimes. i believe we can bring awareness. >> reporter: awareness to an issue organizations like animal outlooks say must be addressed. >> san francisco animal care and control has 14 dedicated officers addressing animal related emergencies. they respond to calls from 6:00 a.m. to midnight every day of the year. the agency says in fiscal

11:07 pm
years, they still remember like the date when they hear the gunshot. i think all those memories from time to time. >> reporter: while many services have been offered to the victims families, healing has come with hurdles. this band was created through the cultural arts music therapy program to sing and play music through grief. >> that has been such an immense help for our community to come out and share how they're feeling. sometimes, you know, the regular therapy, one to one. it's a lot to process. so through music, through lyrics, we found our community has found the means of healing. >> reporter: since the mass shooting, san mateo county and other government agencies work to improve living conditions for farmworkers. organizations now

11:09 pm
>> reporter: a historic and intense day in southern california as president trump came to the area to visit the palisades disaster area. take a look here. this is the president arriving at lax, where he met the governor. then the president made his way via helicopter over to the palisades, first touring the devastation via air. the president then landed after taking that helicopter tour. he met with families, fire victims who showed him pictures of their homes. talked about their horrific losses and their desire to rebuild. and then came a meeting, a roundtable meeting with leaders locally here in southern california and fire officials. the meeting started off very positive. the president reiterating he wanted to help southern california rebuild and get the aid that it needs. he said he wanted to streamline the federal permitting process. he wanted local leaders to do the same thing. karen bass and the governor have already issued
11:10 pm
executive orders, saying they are streamlining and watering down that bureaucracy to make the permitting process go faster. the president did make or repeat the false claims about water being sent from northern to southern california. having been a factor if that happened. putting out the fire. cbs news has confirmed that is just not factual. that's not the case. fire officials have told us the same thing that the hurricane forced winds in that fire, when it started two weeks ago was so overwhelming that it was just an incredible inferno that could not have been put out at that point. just the winds and the incredible devastation there. of course, debatable about the issues that are relating to the reservoirs that were empty. water pressure overwhelmed by the unprecedented fire. all of those will be topics discussed in the coming days and weeks. and the president though, having some, you know, tense exchanges at times with the democratic officials who were here at the meeting including l.a. mayor,
11:11 pm
karen bass, as president trump pushed her pretty hard on the issue of getting people back into their homes. here in the palisades, the mayor saying she needs people to stay safe. >> but we are going to move adds fast as we can, but we want you to be safe. we want you to be back in your homes immediately. >> but the people are willing to clean out their own debris. it doesn't cost a lot. >> yes, they can. >> and it will be two years. >> if a family -- >> the people are willing to get a dumpster and do it themselves and clean it out, there is not that much left. >> reporter: also a big topic at this roundtable was the issue of fema. president trump has repeated several times he intends to dismantle or reorganize it. he spoke about that during the roundtable. >> fema is a very expensive, in my opinion, mostly failed situation. we had great people and great jobs. but each state
11:12 pm
should take care of their problem and get money from the federal government. it would be so much better, so much more efficient. so we're looking at that. a man in southern california made his way to san francisco today, all the thanks for station 25 firefighters personally for helping save his home from the palisades fire. eugene qua had to evacuate, but came home to find his neighborhood had been spared by the flames. the san francisco firefighters left a note, letting him know his valuables had been moved to his car. >> i want to thank the four crew members who saved that block as well as the rest of firefighters in california and many who are still fighting active fires. thank you so much. >> 222 san francisco firefighters including the crew of engine 25 are still in l.a. helping fight the fires. the two most destructive, the palisades and eaton fires are now 79% and 95% contained. oakland unified school
11:13 pm
district is facing a financial crisis. it could lead to some big changes and big losses. we have to get our priorities in order. we probably tried to spend too many priorities. >> the decisions and deadlines the school board is facing to take care of a budget shortfall. for the first time in weeks, a decent chance of measurable rain is going to move across the bay area this weekend. it is not a guarantee of rain for everybody though. we'll break down the hour-by-hour timing with a look at futurecast coming up in first alert weather. pay attention to this one, paul. should pineapple go on pizza? okay. why one restaurant is charging a high price if you want to mix sweet and savory.

11:16 pm
to alameda county where one school district is in danger of running out of money. oakland unified is facing a june deadline to take action to correct the issue or the county superintendent said the district will fall under supervision of the state trustee. the county superintendent projects the shortfall of nearly $100 million in each of the next two years. but the district could run out of cash by november. school board directors could lay off administrators and educators to close the gap. the board needs to vote next month on the layoffs to send notices out if march. >> and if they do not vote next
11:17 pm
month, it will trigger a lot of bad scenarios. because the budget we have currently will be locked in next year pushing us over a financial cliff. >> the board will likely look at merging schools again in june. and they are not happy about the potential layoffs. telling us in part, this manufactured budget crisis could be solved by working with oakland educators to ensure our schools are thriving and joyful places for every student to learn, grow, and dream. the school district there to cut $113 million in the upcoming year. they have said school closures are off the table for now. but more layoffs could be ahead for teachers and staff. so there is a new road design meant to slow down dangerous driving. it's called a neck down or a raised curb extension that will narrow the
11:18 pm
road and forces drivers to yield. the spokesperson said past attempts to manage traffic didn't work, so they settled for this design. but a cyclist who lives just across from the neck down says it is a let down. >> and they think it is two lanes and look at how close it is and nobody honked, but that's very close. i just feel like it is clear to drivers who will have to yield, but vehicles have the right of way, meaning eastbound drivers should yield. inspiring weekend forecast. >> big words on the friday
11:19 pm
night. >> we will see what we could do. whether they are the right big words, we will find out. long enough word. we will see some of that over the weekend. the big picture perspective dropping down the west coast is going to move directly over the bay area, but they will not have access until they make their way farther to the south. so we will see the pop-up showers on saturday and sunday, but the bulk of the more widespread rain will be concentrated over southern california. and that is what they need. and the very dry fire fuels and a very low potential, not zero, but low of any mud slide or debris flow issues basically for that to be a concern, the heaviest downpours will have to set up over the burn scars, where the odds are pretty low. something they will need to monitor through the weekend. our weather and how they will shape up with it here, we will turn on the labels, as we will try to bring some blank labels. you can keep
11:20 pm
your barings as we bring them into view. we will start by noon tomorrow through 6:00 in the evening when we're going to see the first showers developing. and becoming more widespread by late afternoon and early evening. we will see them beginning to move in from south to north as everything will pin wheel into the storm system. 6:00 p.m. to midnight, we'll see the showers and the possibility of an outside chance and a rumble of thunder continuing to make their way south to north and they will not last too long with the amounts of the showers that will be mostly in the few hundredths of an inch if they decide to camp it overhead and pick up closer to a quarter of an inch of rain, but this chance will continue through much of the day on sunday. and they are also going to be lowering snow levels to contend with and dropping to around 3,000 feet and a little
11:21 pm
frosting of snow on the taller peaks. and into the neighborhood of mount hamilton as well as you can see the wintery colors showing up to the east of san jose. the first kind of measurable rain that we've seen in the last few weeks, a very dry january so far. but the presence of the storm system and the cloud cover that it is bringing will limit the high temperatures. 59 is the warm spot in san jose tomorrow afternoon. 54 degrees will be the cool spot. not a wide variety of temperatures. almost all of us between 55 to 57 degrees to top out tomorrow, which is only a degree or two below normal, but it will feel pretty cool because of the pretty mild air mass that we have been in for the past couple of weeks. as they get squeezed by the storm system moving through and gusts over 50 miles an hour. rest of us will gus in the 25 miles an hour range. the likely scenario. the breeze will be a factor, as is the snow.
11:22 pm
take a look at the winter weather advisory. a couple inches, picking up 6 to 8 inches on top of the higher peaks, and they might pick up to a foot of total snowfall. but it will be a little bit tricky, especially if you will be coming back on sunday. something to keep in mind there. take a look at the forecast, not just the chance of rain over the weekend, but another chance late next week. tail end will bring another chance of light showers late thursday into friday. so it is kind of more typical january weather. to finish off the month of january. >> thanks, paul. ahead in sports, he's back. 49ers have their long awaited defensive coordinator. i know most fans will be very happy. and plus it could be tough to be the new guy at work. so let's just all hope we have a coworker like steph curry.

11:28 pm
bleeping sport. he doesn't think his intensity is any different from the head coach. >> i wish they would show these other coaches losing their minds at the officials in other games, where i would look when i'm not talking to officials. i'll see the other coaches as i am. i have created this for myself. i'm not a victim. but i just wish they would not have the camera, i mean, 90% of the time, unless they feel like it's driving ratings, and more on twitter, which could put the clips of me from a game, and they will look at how big of a monster he is. >> and he is animated. and also a two-time national champion. i also covered their brother at arizona state university. i was a college journalist, and i made eye contact with bobby during one of his rants, which is very

11:33 pm
situation is about to change in the next 24 hours. for the first time in three weeks, snow is likely in the sierra this weekend. in effect from 7:00 on saturday morning through 4:00 on sunday afternoon. but the heaviest snow will fall on saturday evening and overnight. total snowfall will range from a couple inches of up to a foot. it is going to be cold and breezy as well. air temperatures will stay in the teens and the 20s. windchills dropping to near zero at times. i don't think travel will be treacherous, but it is going to be slippery, so allow extra travel time especially if you're coming back on sunday. be safe on the roads. enjoy the fresh powder on the slopes. we will keep you updated here in the toyota tahoe report. all right, let's talk pizza. it's a debate that will tear apart friends and family on social media and now one country does pineapple belong on pizza?
