from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. >> it's not a political battle between the republicans and the democrats, it's between god and the devil. >> hundreds in san francisco turn out for today's walk for life. how the annual event is taking on a new tone in the new political climate. >> i'm very hopeful that this is a new opportunity for oakland, for alameda county. >> and change in alameda county. we hear from candidates running for the district attorney seat. and still the fires burn on in the south land. we've got the latest on the next threat homeowners are preparing for tonight. thanks for joining us, i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. after the demise of roe versus wade, the fight against abortion became a rallying point for many conservative voter es. >> now with the re-election of donald trump, pro-life activists have become even bolder. john ramos has that story. >> reporter: at last year's march for life, the supreme court had just struck down roe
5:02 pm
v. wade, this year it seems like every branch of the government is sympathetic to the cause. there are those here who insist this is not a political movement. san francisco's walk for life began in 2005. now 20 years later, ken remembers what it was like in the beginning. >> we used to walk down, what was it, embarcadero, and it was pretty small then. i don't think -- maybe 5,000 at the most. and so it was, yeah, you felt a bit intimidated. because there was a lot of protesters. >> reporter: boy have things changed. now the abortion opponents at the march measure in the tens of thousands and only a small die hard group of abortion rights activists show up to counter them. >> we are here once again to say that you don't get to just waltz into our city and push your regressive values. you
5:03 pm
know, they're really fired up because trump is returning to office and they are hoping to advance more anti-choice. >> reporter: but waltzing into a city that was once the stronghold of reproductive rights is exactly what they've done in recent years. the walk for life cofounder say not meant to divide people politically. >> ours is not a political movement. nobody seems to believe us, but it's true. we've never had a politician, and we want to make sure -- we would not want to impede in any way anybody who's apolitical from coming forward if they need help. >> reporter: they may not have intended it, but it's definitely become a political battleground. president trump did not refer to abortion in his inaugural speech, but on friday he rescinded a pair of biden executive orders that expanded access and defined abortion as healthcare. and since much of the opposition is faith based, there's a healthy mixing of church and state. sister deirdre
5:04 pm
burns spoke at the pre-walk rally, but she addressed the gop convention in 2020. >> president trump will stand up against biden/harris, who are the most anti-life presidential ticket ever. we have to speak truth about how evil this is. it's not a political battle between the republicans and the democrats, it's between god and the devil. >> reporter: it sure sounds political, but as someone who's being cast in the role of the devil, this abortion rights activist admits her side may have become too institutionalize d in its approach. >> something that's been an issue on our side is the professionalization of the movement. so when the movement is your job, you might not be as fired up as when you are feeling like, you know, this is my life at stake, these are the lives of my families, of my siblings at stake here. >> reporter: everyone in the
5:05 pm
abortion debate seems to feel that lives are at stake, and that's why few people are willing to come promise, another thing in common with american politics right now. alameda county supervisors planning to appoint a district attorney this week. this after pamela price was recalled in november. >> reporter: of the seven candidates under consideration, three appeared on saturday at lakeshore avenue baptist church to answer questions on how they would lead the district attorney's office. two candidates sent in videos to explain their policies. among the people in attendance was sylvia guzman a longtime oakland resident and community advocate. >> this was my first time hearing from everyone. >> reporter: guzman and most
5:06 pm
alameda county voters know very little about the candidates since their names emerged just a couple of weeks ago. venus johnson is generally viewed as the front-runner, given amount of endorsements. johnson is the california chief deputy attorney general. her boss, attorney general rob bonta, is endorsing her for the job. so are the district attorneys in san francisco and contra costa counties. >> i'm home grown, born and raised in oakland. this is my community. i run a $1.3 billion prosecutor's office at the attorney general's office, and i have executive experience. but i'm also a seasoned prosecutor. >> reporter: for the most part, all the candidates provided similar answers at this forum, talking about leading a balanced approach when it comes to criminal justice. this man says he has the experience to strike that balance. he's the city attorney for alameda. >> i have been the head of an office for six years. so i know how to run an office as the head
5:07 pm
of an organization, and i've demonstrated that to the community and to elected officials. >> reporter: lewis spent years working at the alameda county d.a.'s office. right now she's working as the alameda county deputy counsel. >> day one, ready to jump right right in type of leader. i don't have a ramp-up time that's needed for me to get into the work, because i've already been doing it for the county. i've been serving the county for 25 years. i'm a resident of east oakland, raising my son here. >> reporter: the two candidates that sent in answers are annie esposito and jones dixon, both endorsed by the people who organized the recall of pamela price. guzman says all strong candidates, which makes it hard to make up her mind. >> i would like to see someone who is generally present with our community, who embodies the values of the people who live, work, and play in this area.
5:08 pm
now let's get a look at our weather today. there were some dark skies out there earlier, but there is some nice sunshine there in the background as we look at the sunset. darren peck joins us now with more on what we can expect this weekend. >> well, we got some light rain coming in on the last three hours of radar, andrea, we've been able to see the showers develop a little more over the bay. watching the last three hours, just a few drops showing up here. barely enough to measure, but at least we've started to see some rain. if we look at what happens over the next couple of hours, in fact, we're going to play this forward from where we are now and let this go through tomorrow into the early afternoon. isolated hit and miss showers stay like this. you will get more breaks of blue sky tomorrow. it'll be on again, off again. most places won't get any rain from this, but you could just as well be the part of the bay that gets a shower. it wouldn't amount to a whole lot should we get it. look at
5:09 pm
the extent of this system, it has all of california involved, and this is going to be a much bigger rainmaker for l.a. let's get a better handle on how that's going to play out for them. close up look at southern california. if we add up the rainfall down there, they get way more than we do. we'll be lucky if we get 0.01 an inch of rain. places in southern california will get well over an inch. that's overwhelmingly good news. there is one small concern here. look at the fire perimeters. the eaton fire, the palisades fire. what we don't want to have happen is have some of these isolated cells with heavier downpours land within within of those perimeters, and that's a possibility. when that happens, now you've got brief heavy rain on a landscape that is prone to either mudslides or even worse debris flows. and particularly over here in the san gabriel mountains. they are a notorious risk for a very dangerous situation should that develop. it could happen. but there's a small likelihood of
5:10 pm
that happening. the bigger story at this point is the great news that southern california is about to get much-needed rain. we're about to get much colder in the mornings here at home. for now, back to you. >> thank you, darren. as you just said, l.a. does have a chance of rain so there's also, as darren just said, chances for mudslides. they're handing out sandbags, and as a san jose state professor says, the back-to-back evacuation warnings could be wearing on residents. >> people get a little shell shocked from all of those warnings, and especially after such a traumatic experience that those regions down there have felt, you know, hearing more warnings to get out, it's just going to kind of fall on deaf ears. >> she says she'll be keeping an eye on just how much rainfall will land in those burn scar
5:11 pm
areas in los angeles. same time, president trump is in las vegas after visiting the aftermath of the l.a. fires. held a rally touting his proposal to eliminate taxes on tips and celebrated the confirmation of his controversial pick for defense secretary. >> trump had just learned his controversial pick for defense secretary was confirmed by the senate as he was leaving california. war of words and social media posts between the president and the governor heightened tensions between the visit. governor newsom cordially greeted him before his tour of the fire-ravaged area. the president took an aerial tour of the destruction, talked to residents and walked through a neighborhood destroyed in the palisades area. he met with firefighters but briefly wrangled with the los angeles mayor over the recovery and rebuilding process. >> if they want to start now, they want to start removing things. they're not allowed to do it now. you mentioned
5:12 pm
hazardous waste. well, hazardous waste, what's hazardous waste? you're beginning to have to define that. we're going to go through a whole series of questions on determining -- >> nope. nope, nope, nope. >> i think you have to allow the people to go on the site and start the process tonight. >> and we will. >> okay, good. >> despite suggesting conditions for federal aid, president trump promised to speed up federal permits for rebuilding. come monday, officials will hold a news conference to reveal critical evidence about the cause of the eaton fire. the eaton fire is one of five active fires in southern california and the closest to being fully contained at 95%. the palisades, hughes, and laguna fires all nearing containment as well. the border fire is just at 10%. and coming up, after not accepting applications for 14 years, the deadline for federal housing vouchers is quickly approaching. we'll have the latest when we come back.
5:14 pm
i guess what i'm looking for from you is, i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true. [joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise]
5:15 pm
well, for the first time in 14 years, applications are being accepted for housing vouchers in oakland, but tomorrow is the last day to try to get in on the wait list. housing choice vouchers still commonly referred to by their former name of section 8. covers 6% to 70% of represent and utilities. one oakland resident had been on the wait list for five years. >> honestly, i don't know. i don't know where my family and
5:16 pm
i would be living, i don't even know if we would have a home to live in. sometimes it's surreal for me, like when i pull up to my house and i'm like, i own that. >> applicants for voucher must make under 50% of the median income for the area. for a family of four in oakland, that would be just under $78,000. and as you know, we've got a chance of rain coming in, and darren's here to talk about that. >> yeah, and we've seen a few of those light showers having already begun to work their way across the bay. looking out the window here from the virtual set out towards the east bay. it has looked gray out there for the last several hours. let's get the radar on here and see what that has to say about it. we will watch the last three hours of it. and we have seen a few showers coming across the diablo range and over the south bay. i don't have anything measurable from this stuff, but at least it is light rain that's falling. a lot of it's probably not hitting the ground. some of it is, and it's fairly light whatever it happens to be. so
5:17 pm
let's take it from where it is now from live radar and put this ahead for the remainder of tonight and through tomorrow morning and see what the futurecast has to say about the likely areas where we'd get rain that actually reaches the ground. and there are spotty showers. there goes one in the predawn hours, again, across the south bay. but there wasn't a lot, and there won't be a lot to this from now through the morning. just on again off again showers. not worth putting rainfall totals on here because it would be 0.001 or 0.002 of an inch at best, if you happen to be one of the locations where this even falls. it's going to continue to look unsettled. the sky's going to keep looking like that out our window for the next few days with gray skies visible across the bay for much of the rest of the weekend. then we get to monday and the cold air filters in behind this system. and that becomes the focus then as we look ahead towards how the weather's going to impact you most directly. and that is a freeze watch is in
5:18 pm
place for the morning of monday, tuesday, and wednesday, and it covers a wide area, even here on the peninsula. you've got a freeze watch that stays in effect through the morning hours of monday, tuesday, and wednesday. so this doesn't go into effect tomorrow, but for the three days after that, it's going to get noticeably colder. if we look at the morning lows, a lot of lows in the low to mid-30s. livermore, 32. a lot of low 30s. you get to the freezing mark in the north bay communities. if we look at everybody else's morning lows on here, a lot more low 40s. still cold. san francisco, you're at 44. that is a cold morning. 41 in redwood city. this is going to be three mornings worth. so monday, tuesday, and wednesday, all three of them are going to be just as cold. heads up on that, it's about to get noticeably colder. daytime highs will be fine. they'll actually stay around 60. upper 50s to lower
5:19 pm
60s for daytime highs will pretty much be the rule the next few days. we touched on possibility for more widespread rain in southern california. we looked at that at the top of the newscast. we'll look at all of this again in the 6:00 hour. let me get you to the seven-day forecast, because there's an added item of interest which shows up on here friday. so we've covered all this. the real story cold mornings monday, tuesday, wednesday. daytime high around 60. that is rain in there. getting rain on friday. this isn't like one of those big blockbuster storms that's got an atmospheric river component to it. nothing like that. but it's at least a good sign to see a high degree of confidence that we'll be getting some rain and it should get here by friday. more on that as we get closer to it. matt, over to you. coming up in sports, if you weren't awake this morn at 3:00 a.m., we'll show you how this american took down the world number one to claim her first grand slam title in the australian open final. and stanford continues to
5:21 pm

5:23 pm
the warriors are looking to build off thursday night's win with a familiar foe town, lebron james and the lakers. we'll have the recap tonight on the light show. the dubs may have found something on thursday night in the form of second rounders. rookie center quinten post scored a career high 2 points in the win. the vets have given this guy a lot of support. after the game on thursday, he told a story of a night where he needed a favor and he got some help. >> it was like 2:30 at night, and we were at the airport, right, and i'm trying to get an uber to go home, but the uber service isn't working. everybody's kind of leaving, are you good, i'm good. steph walked by, and steph's like, are you good? i'm like, i'm good, i'll figure it out. he's like, what do you mean? i'm
5:24 pm
like, i'm getting a uber. steph's like, are you trying to go home? steph's like i got you. he drove me home, made a little detour, and i mean, that just shows how he is as a person. >> good guy steph curry. to tennis, madison keys taking on the world number one in the australian open finals. on upset early. strong forehand to clinch the fist. sablanka won the second set. first ever grand slam championship for keys, she becomes the first american woman to win the event since 2020. >> i finally got to the point where i was proud of myself and proud of my career with or without a grand slam. i feel like finally letting go of that kind of internal talk that i had
5:25 pm
just gave me the ability to actually go out and play some really good tennis to actually win a grand slam. stanford men's basketball has improved tremendously this season. and one of the biggest reasons why is pretty hard to miss. >> renault, oui oui. >> reporter: on a historic run for the stanford cardinal. >> it's an amazing experience i wish every single basketball player could experience. >> reporter: right on the top of the leaderboard in points and rebounds. he credits this stellar season to his consistency throughout his career. >> when you see my improvement and my progression throughout college, it's like four points, eight points, 15, now 20, rebounds, it's all about being consistent. >> reporter: first-year head coach kyle smith was hoping to get the french native when he coached at washington state. >> i'm not really aware of who
5:26 pm
recruited me, to be honest. >> i recruited him a little bit, he doesn't know that. his coach reached out at washington state and sent me film and said what do you think? i said yes, pullman in french, i didn't know his transcript, i recruited him the next day. he was in the portal, tough and hard guy, the word on the street he didn't want to leave. i was happy about that. >> once you come to stanford, get a degree for three year, it's hard to give it away. >> reporter: renault leads in double-doubles, a candidate for conference player of the year, and has raised his nba draft profile. >> now that we moved to the acc, the team as a whole the doing better than last year with more lights on it. objectively, nothing really licked. it's just the same constant improvement. >> make threes, mid-range, plays pacing up, good in the low post.
5:27 pm
one of the best rebounders in the country. it's all come together, and it's a neat thing to see. >> reporter: stanford will go as far as renault, he's one of a kind, and kyle smith knows it. >> he backs it up with the work. he's usually the first one in, last to leave. when your most talented guy is doing that, whether it's tim duncan for the spurs or steph curry for the warriors, he's just that kind of person. he's the most talented human being i've ever been around. >> and right now he says that he's not focussed on the nba draft but his stock is just going straight through the roof. projected to be a high second round pick. good for him. >> that's the problem with basketball. if they're good they're going to leave very, very quickly. >> that's right. >> do they all do that? do they all do it? >> not all. >> if they're good? >> not all of them. >> steph curry stayed in school. >> with davidson you have
