>> now at 6:00, people come out in force in san francisco for the annual walk for life. >> it's not a political battle between the republicans and the democrats, it's between god and the devil. >> they are hoping to advance more anti-choice -- >> john ramos spoke to folks attending the life for march event and the counterprotesters. plus, candidates for alameda county's district attorney got a chance to hear from concerned citizens. >> 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. >> da lin has the latest on up the search to replace former d.a. pamela price. and later, federal officials investigating abuse of power woke up this morning without a job. more on president trump's decision to fire more than a dozen federal inspectors. live on this saturday evening from cbs studios in san francisco, i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. >> after roe v. wade was struck
6:01 pm
down, the fight against abortion became a rallying point for many conservative voters, and now with the re-election of donald trump, pro-life activists turned out in the thousands for the walk for life in san francisco. >> the event caused a bit of traffic for those driving into the city and attracted a group of counterprotesters. john ramos has the story. >> reporter: at last year's massachusetts march for life, the supreme court had just struck down roe v. wade. this year it feels every branch of the government is sympathetic cause. still, some 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
6:02 pm
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 know, they're really fired up because trump is returning to office and they're hoping to advance more anti-choice. >> reporter: waltzing into a city that was once the stronghold of reproductive rights is what they've done in recent years. still, the walk for life cofounder says it's 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
6:03 pm
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 also a healthy mixing of church and state. sister deirdre burns spoke at the pre-walk rally, but she also 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 that is. this is a battle not against -- 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 cast as the devil, christina admits
6:04 pm
her side may have become institutionalized 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 know, you might not be as, like, fired up as when you're 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 abortion debate seems to feel that lives are at stake, and that's why few people are willing to compromise, which is another thing that the movement has in common with american politics right now. >> and of course, california's considered a stronghold for reproductive rights, which is in the state's constitution, andrea? in l.a. county neighborhoods damaged by the wildfires could soon have to face yet another natural disaster. they're preparing for potential mudslides from the incoming rain. crews have been clearing out catch basins and installing
6:05 pm
protective cave rails along the hillsides most susceptible to mud and debris flow. they're also handing out thousands of sandbags to vulnerable residents. we spoke with a san jose state professor who says the burn scar areas from the wildfires are the most at risk. >> we've had very little time in those areas to do some debris removal, some management of house debris and things like that. so we're likely to see in some of those areas some mudslides or debris flows. >> she says she'll be keeping an eye on just how much rainfall will land in the burn scar areas over the weekend. right now the three most destructive l.a. wildfires, the palisades, eaton, and hughes fires are all more than 80% contained. many residents have returned home after evacuating. we spoke with one couple who says many of the homes in their neighborhood are destroyed. >> are we expected to drive our kids through the destruction every morning when we bring them
6:06 pm
to school and in the afternoon when we pick them up? like what does that do to their mental health. >> the l.a. wildfires have burned more than 78 square miles in total, including more than 12,000 homes and buildings. >> and down near the mexican border in san diego county, fire crews are battling the border two fire. it's grown to 6,500 acres in the otay county park. we heard from campers who had to be evacuated from there. >> the smoke was billowing and starting to fill the valley. we left our beds and our sleeping bags. but we brought what we could. >> that fire down is there is currently 10% contained. >> so mudslides, i'm thinking there's going to be a need for quite an amount of rain from the south for that to happen, or is that wrong? >> you'd only need 0.25 an inch in an hour's timeframe over a
6:07 pm
burn scar. that's the vulnerability. now, that's possible, but it is a small chance. however, if it happened, it'd be a big deal. if we put on what the radar looks like, you can see this counterclockwise spin. we got a chance of rain from this. we got it out there now. i'm going to talk about us coming up later. look what this system wants to do in southern california. it really wants to just kind of park out there and sit there for a couple of days. if you look at the total rainfall that southern california's going to get, on the one hand, this is excellent news. this is going to help with fire season. it's not going to end fire season for them. but it's definitely going to buffer the landscape and reduce their extreme vulnerability, because they're at record levels for dryness now. an inch of rain is going to help. but to go into detail on that one concern andrea brought up, what about the possibility for mudslides or debris flows should they get enough rainfall down there. if
6:08 pm
we look at the rainfall down there and play this forward, in detail you can see what happens as the rain comes together in isolated pockets. a burn scar on here, that's the eaton fire. lot of rain in southern california, but southern california 's a big place. what are the odds you happen to get one of those isolated cells with heavier rain right in that burn scar. well, here's a chance, that's tomorrow 3:00 in the afternoon. heavier cell moves over the west side of it. another one comes up and grazes it again. not to say that it goes exactly this way, but the possibility is there. so they're on guard. anybody who lives down hill from these burn scars has already been put on guard, and they're very much on watch for this. the bigger story, though, in southern california is great news with the amount of rain coming their way. this is going to help. we're going to get some rain here. i'll show you our forecast in a few minutes. for now, andrea, back to you. >> thank you so much, brian. alameda county supervisors are planning to appoint a district attorney this coming week. >> this after voters recalled
6:09 pm
pamela price back in november. da lin's got the story on today's forum about what's next. . >> reporter: of the seven candidates under consideration, three appeared in person at this community forum 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 a community advocate. >> this was my first time hearing from everyone. >> reporter: guzman and most alameda county voters know little about the candidates, since their names emerged a couple of weeks ago. venus johnson is generally viewed as the front-runner. johnson is the california chief deputy attorney general. her boss, attorney general rob banta, is endorsing her for the job. so are the district attorneys in san francisco and contra costa
6:10 pm
counties. >> i'm homegrown, born and raised in oakland. this is my community. i run a $1.3 billion prosecutors 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 with a balanced approach when it comes to criminal justice. shen says he has the experience to strike that balance. he is the city attorney for alameda. >> i'm the only candidate who is current through head of an office, and i have been the head of an office for six years. and so i know how to run an office as the head 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 in type of leader. i don't have a ramp-up time that's going to
6:11 pm
be needed for me to get into the work, because i've already been doing it for this county. i've been serving the county for 25 years. i'm a resident of east oakland. i'm raising my son here. >> reporter: the two candidates that sent in video answers are annie esposito, a veteran prosecutor, and ar sell la jones dixon, an alameda county superior court judge. both women endorsed by the people who organized the recall of pamela price. voters ousted price, accusing her of swinging too far left. this forum is organized by organizations that supported price and her restorative justice approach. >> we're really looking for candidates who can have a larger understanding of public safety that's not just about incarceration because we know that returning to the age of mass incarceration is not going to make anyone more safe. >> reporter: guzman says she's hopeful the next d.a. will represent all sides. >> 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.
6:12 pm
>> reporter: the alameda county supervisors will appoint the new d.a. next month and serve until 2026. tomorrow is the last day to file an application for -- >> well, andrea, i'm going to read this really quickly. tomorrow is the last day to file an application for a housing voucher -- for a housing choice voucher in oakland commonly known as section 8. they help recipients cover 60% to 70% of represent and utilities. and we spoke with one oakland resident who used the voucher to -- >> honestly, i don't know. i don't know where my family and i would be living. i don't even know if we would have a home to live. in sometimes it's surreal for me when i pull up to my house and i'm like, i own that. >> applicants for the housing choice voucher must make under 50% of the median income for the area. for a family of four in oakland, that would be just

stands. one booth started off creating videos online of their culture and is now selling merchandise. >> we've noticed like over the years there isn't a lot of things that people can wear or use or have that represents our culture. so we're trying to share that as well. >> lunar new year officially starts next wednesday. more celebrations set for the next few weeks, which include the chinese new year parade on february 15th. >> san francisco's bayview district is celebrating two cultures. our loureen ayyoub shows us how an annual event is bringing together lunar new year and black history month. >> reporter: here in bayview, black and asian communities are coming together in unity to celebrate both lunar new year and black history month. traditional lion dancing, it's just one of many cultural expressions on display during this annual community celebration. held at the bayview hunter's point ymca, the

6:18 pm

6:19 pm
the world and make dreams become real. [ speaking in a global language ] that's how you say it. >> reporter: dreams big enough for everyone to share. well, we got shaken up a little bit. 2.9 magnitude quake struck about ten miles off the coast of daly city today. happened around 2:30 this afternoon. with a measly earthquake like that, no reports of damage, in fact, i don't know if anybody much felt it. maybe the fish. >> right. >> maybe the fish a little bit. but we're expecting a little bit of rain, and it's been a while since it's rained up near the bay area. >> yeah, i mean, we're not setting crazy records like southern california has, but we haven't gotten rain since january 4th. >> been a while, yeah. >> we've done this before, but we're like in the top three or four for the driest januarys so far. let's see if we can fix that. a little bit of rain to go for tonight and tomorrow. and then there's another one now at the end of the seven-day forecast. there's a chance of rain on friday. that's pretty good. we haven't been able to look out five, six days with
6:20 pm
much confidence over the last six weeks and see rain. we do see some. let's take these one at a time. live radar on, at least the last three hours in the last little timeframe on here. you see the time stamp up there. that gets us to right now as we go towards the 6:00, 7:00, this brings us to a few light showers over the south bay. this looks good. i don't have a whole lot that's measurable down here, but at least the radar is detecting some rain in the atmosphere. and when we skip from live radar, put it in the futurecast, you're going to see how this comes together in terms of where it likely would rain where it reaches the ground over about the next 18 hours, basically from now through tomorrow afternoon. there's not a lot. best chance would be tonight. isolated showers overnight tonight. i'm not even putting rainfall totals on here because it's 0.001 an inch at best if you get it. none of these really look all that impressive. that basically covers the story of the rain for this forecast. the temperature story, though, also needs to be
6:21 pm
covered. the daytime highs are just fine. they're not really a major factor in this forecast. they're not changing a whole lot. so we'll be sitting in the upper 50s until the 60s for daytime highs. what is more interesting is the morning lows. about to get noticeably colder. tomorrow's not all that bad. monday, tuesday, and wednesday have a bit of an issue. in fact, when we take a look at what the national weather service has done, they've covered in a big portion of the bay in blue. and this is where we've got a freeze watch. pretty much everybody's got it but the city and the coast. this is one of the more significant bouts of cold mornings we've had in terms of widespread extent. always colder in the north bay valley. when we look at the north bay valleys and the inland east bay, you see the numbers going down into the low 30s there for the inland valleys and low 30s up here for the north bay valleys. those are our coldest spots. if we fill in the lows for everybody else, we'll say good-bye to the microclimates inland and broad
6:22 pm
brush the temperatures on here. you're going to 44 in san francisco. so you didn't need a freeze watch. you're, relatively speaking, the warm spot in the bay. but that is cold. 44 in the city is going to be a cold morning. and this is, again, not tomorrow. tomorrow's numbers will all be three to four degrees warmer than these. these temperatures apply to monday, tuesday, and wednesday. and that's when the cold air is going to settle in and that freeze watch stays in effect for all three days. you want to see one other thing that stays cold. let's take a look at the monitor. we're looking at the sierra. while we've gotten rain here, we're going to continue to see snow fall up there. the totals are better if you go farther south. but we do get a couple of inches that fall locally. there's not a whole lot to this. but it's, you know, close to, say, an inch or so at donner pass. certainly cold enough to have snowed thereupon. we didn't have enough moisture lining up with the cold air. let's get to the seven-day forecast because there's one other item to discuss. we talked about that chance for rain on friday. and
6:23 pm
that shows up now in the friday terrarium. we've got some rain on here. it does not look like a big soaker. doesn't really look like a significant rainmaker. so that's not where the high degree of confidence is. it's not that it's a big amount. the high degree of confidence is that, yeah, we got a chance of rain coming, and at five days, that's pretty good. the rain we're getting today 36 hours ago didn't look like we were going to get it. it materialized in the forecast model. nice to see one. matt, over to you. >> thanks, get your tee times in before friday is what i just heard. the grand slam title in the australian open final. and as stanford continues to make its mark in the acc, a four and seven footer is taking

the warriors are looking to build off of thursday night's win over the bulls with a familiar foe in town, lebron james and the lakers. we'll have the recap tonight on the late show. the dubs may have found something on thursday though when it came in the form of a second rounder. it was a coming out party for quinten post. a career high 20 points in the win. the vets have given him a lot of support. in fact, after the game he told a story of the night where he kind of needed a favor. and someone, maybe to guy, gave him 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, you know, are you good? i'm good. steph walks by and steph's like are you good. i'm like, yeah i'm good, i'll figure it out. he's like, what do you mean? i'm getting an uber. steph's like, are you trying to go home? yeah. steph is like i got you. he trove me
6:27 pm
home, made a little detour. that 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. keys put the favorite on upset alert early. strong forehand clinched the first set. she gets the second but keys was clutched down the stretch. forehand drop, shot clincher. takes the match, takes the championship. first ever grand slam for keys, and 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 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 trying to win another game
6:28 pm
tonight against fsu. they have improved tremendously this season. one of the biggest reasons why is pretty hard to miss. >> renault. oui, oui. >> reporter: 7'1", maxime renault is on a historic run for the stanford cardinal. >> it's an amazing experience i wish every single player could experience. >> reporter: he's put the acc ono tis, right at 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, similar trend. 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 aware of who recruited me, to be honest. i'm sure there was many schools. >> i recruited him a little bit. he doesn't know that. his coach reached out to me when i was at washington state and sent me film. i was like, yes, pullman

6:30 pm
he's usually the first one in, last to leave. when your most talented guy is doing it, whether it's tim duncan for the spurs or steph curry for the warriors, he's that kind of person. the most talented human being i've ever been around. >> so he's really good at basketball. and by the way, studying computer science and mathematics at stanford. >> at stanford. >> pretty well rounded. he'll be okay. >> thank you, matt. coming up in our next half hour, president trump just fired federal officials tasked with investigating abuse of power. >> these firings are donald trump's way of telling us he is terrified of accountability. >> lawmakers from both sides of the aisle now demanding answers. plus, anxiety among immigrants as i.c.e. activity is reported across the country, including here in the bay area.

6:35 pm
republican chuck grassley demanded further explanation from president trump, writing in a statement, there may be good reasons the igs were fired, we need to know that. president trump is in las vegas to tout his proposal to eliminate taxes on tips -- friday where he said he was considering dismantling fema and possibly shifting more disaster management responsibilities to states. >> you don't need fema, you need a good state government. when you have a problem in los angeles or the state of california you have your own essentially fema. you fix it yourself. >> nomination is confirmed. >> reporter: on saturday kristi noem was confirmed as secretary of homeland security. that was on the heels of the confirmation of his secretary of defense pick, pete hegseth. hegseth and noem are likely to work closely together on trump's mass deportation efforts which have gotten underway this week. >> vice president vance cast the

harm another person. secret service has been notified. they'll determine if he'll face any federal charges. hundreds across the country have already been arrested for illegal migration into the united states, including more than 500 during i.c.e. workplace raids in the northeast. this comes just days after president trump promised a massive crackdown on illegal immigration. since starting his second term, the justice department also sent out a memo threatening to prosecute state and local officials who resist federal immigration crackdowns. in san francisco, officials have debunked a report that an i.c.e. agent confronted a middle school student on a muny bus, sfpd and the mayor office have confirmed the encounter did not happen. as kenny choi reports, the rumor has only added to the anxiety that's spreading through local immigrant communities. >> reporter: images of deportation this week have
6:38 pm
stoked fear within undocumented communities. >> instilling fear is part of their playbook, and it's working. >> reporter: a report of an i.c.e. agent boarding a muni bus was false but caused concern within the immigrant community with social media posts stating the rue nor as fact. >> we understand people are fearful, so we will -- we are in contact right now with community leaders and we will continue to communicate with the public. >> reporter: the mayor's office sent this statement that reads in part, after conducting a thorough, multi-agency review, we are confident and relieved that there was no federal immigration enforcement action on a muni bus yesterday. at the same time, the fear in our community is real, and that fear makes all of san francisco less safe. bill is the founding director of the immigration and deportation defense clinic. he says he understands the concerns but urges caution. >> when mr. trump talked about mass deportation of 10 to 12 million folks, there's no
6:39 pm
capacity to do that. there's no resource, not enough detention centers, immigration judges. >> reporter: days ago the trump administration rescinded a biden-era policy that protected areas such as churches, schools, and hospitals from immigration enforcement. i.c.e. says it takes many factors into account when targeting and arresting individuals including their criminal and immigration history. as for the immigrant community, jeff harp is a former fbi agent who says the first step is to verify a person identifying him or herself as law enforcement. >> if they don't show you id and indicate, you know, why they're there, or show you id that shows that they're actual immigration and custom enforcement agents, then you know, you don't, as a person here in the u.s., you don't have to identify yourself. >> reporter: while many undocumented are coping with deportation fears, he also believes it's crucial to not let that fear lead to extreme measures. >> the message is send your

that's a pretty shot of the pyramid out there. and darren peck says, you know, there are reports of some light rain around the bay area right now. >> yeah, i'm going to spend most of this visit talking about that. we'll track where the showers are and why there are not a lot. i want to start with something that looks better. friday. a week from yesterday, this coming friday, next system coming our way, both of the long range models now are in fairly good agreement we're going to get some rain. what we'll do, we'll say good-bye to the satellite imagery where we spread it out on the floor, as
6:50 pm
cool as that vantage point looks on it. and we'll just bring it back to the northern hemisphere for a moment, because what we're seeing develop out in the pacific now out on this side. so we got to go out -- pretty far out to find it. we'll see it play a little better when we look at it here. take a look at the time stamp up there. all the way ahead to friday. and it's late in the week. there's a nice line right there where the rain starts coming towards california, and both models seem to think we're going to get a little rain out of it. best to do is to look at the accumulations at this point. this is not an explicit exact forecast. we really can't do that when we're still six days out. but the fact that we've got a good agreement on both models is a good sign. you look at the accumulated rainfall totals on here, first model up, this is the european model. that shows us we could get 0.5 to 0.75 an inch of rain. the american model is not as bullish, but it shows the best rain that we will have seen all month, and it brings in perhaps
6:51 pm
0.3 to 0.4 of an inch of rain from the system getting developed on the other side of the pacific right now. doesn't get here until friday. stay tuned. much more on up that as we get closer to it. let's get back to the matter at hand tonight. this is what we were just talking about. light rain out there, no doubt you noticed this. the sky started to look gray and like they were getting gloomy just as we got towards sunset. when we look at the last three hours of radar on here, there are a few light showers. it's not amounting to much. i can't find rain gauges that have gotten measurable rain from this. at least not from that first wave. look back here. as we start to get later here, some of these are developing with higher intensity on what the radar's depicting. the returns that the radar beam's hitting here coming back in bright colors tells us there's more meaningful rain in those batches there. not that any of is heavy
6:52 pm
downpours . we'll switch to the futurecast. you'll see more of those concentrated little bands, like what we were seeing on the radar that come in and out. hit and miss on and off showers. they're pretty much done as we get into sunday. there's a chance for rain tomorrow with these but not a very good one. it'll probably still look a lot like today did. breaks of blue sky, then the sky will start to look a little gloomy and get a little oppressive looking. you'll think, oh, maybe it's going to rain. if it does, it's going to be isolated and probably won't amount to a whole lot in terms of rainfall totals. that covers tonight through sunday. the other issue that needs to be discussed is it's about to get cold. so if we just look at that aspect of this forecast, national weather service has put out a freeze watch, and this covers all of the inland valleys. you see a whole bunch of blue on the map here. if i put the morning lows on, monday, tuesday, and wednesday. this is not tomorrow morning. tomorrow morning is going to be about four, five degrees warmer than this. but by
6:53 pm
monday, tuesday, wednesday, we have it down to about freezing. a lot of those inland valleys, north bay, inland east bay, we won't get quite that cold everywhere if we put everybody's morning low on here. maybe not going to 32. 44 in the city, that's cold. so first three days of this workweek, both -- all, monday, tuesday, wednesday, all three of those days noticeably colder in the morning. the seven-day forecast, that's the same thing. daytime highs around 50. and then there's that rainy terrarium by the time we get to friday. brian, back to you. coming up next, music that'
