11:00 pm
if you're 50 or older even if you're healthy... you're 6 times more likely to be hospitalized. so, schedule at vaxassist.com. it's okay to come out. >> how they're trying to revive the city's image. then i.c.e. in the bay area,
11:01 pm
the arrests that have already been made and the concerns about how many more could end up in handcuffs. so this is conclusive proof as to where the fire started and where it spread. >> lawyers in southern california say technology has revealed the origin of the eaton fire. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi. i'm sara donchey. if ever a city needed a crisis pr team, oakland certainly might. the city has no shortage of well publicized problems like crime and blight and that has become part of its brand , not just here in the bay area, but really all over the country, but if you ask people who live in oakland, a lot of them will tell you pretty enthusiastically they're city is so much more than its bad reputation. it is beautiful, for one, and its incredible food scene is one of the most exciting ways to celebrate its
11:02 pm
many cultures and that's what restaurant owners are banking on when it comes to changing people's ideas about the town. our kelsi thorud talked with several business owners who want oakland's new reputation to be dining destination. >> reporter: what better way to showcase the energy and joy of a city than through its food? that's the newly launched oakland restaurant collective's vision when they hope their brand, savor oakland, will inspire. >> the one thing that is arcane to who we are, we always have broken bread. >> reporter: paul iglesias is a founding member of the collective. he also owns two restaurants in the city. >> i also own a contemporary afghan restaurant. both i own with my wife. >> reporter: paul said he and a few other restaurant owners decided to create the collective, not only to help the restaurant industry in the city, but to help bring oakland's reputation back up to what they
11:03 pm
believe the city has always been. >> the narrative, the things people have said about oakland, were also part perception, if that makes sense. there's a way for us to be able to trigger and talk about things that are negative and then other people will say that those things are negative, whereas it's almost like the same story that gets circulated, but the truth of the matter is there's quite a bit that we're doing that has always been positive and has been positive for a long time. >> reporter: restaurant owners like paul and michelle mcqueen say they know oakland has experienced issues with crime and safety in recent years, but say every city has. their goal is to get people back out exploring oakland, to see just how much good still remains. >> let's come together. let's work on this. let's show them the positive influences that we have here in oakland. let's show them that the crime has gone down significantly and it's okay. it's okay to come out,
11:04 pm
you know. come out with your people. have a good time. have a good drink. have a good meal. have a great experience. >> reporter: food is at the heart of every city. both michelle and paul say it doesn't hurt that oakland was named the best food city last october. they hope to ride that wave into a new era for oakland and show everyone how much this city has to offer. >> we want everyone to come. everyone that wants to be part of oakland, come. be part of our community. we know big changes are coming when it comes to immigration under president trump's new administration, which means i.c.e. is in the spotlight again. more than 1,100 people were taken into custody today alone. some of the arrests happened here in the bay, including in san jose. at least one arrest happened on warfield
11:05 pm
way near tully road this morning. the amigos de guadalupe service center keeps track of i.c.e. activity and sends out volunteers when they see it. one volunteer member says mass deportations has not been happening yet. >> what we are seeing right now is targeted enforcement. we're not seeing any large scale raids. these are individuals who i.c.e. is looking for specific individuals. >> volunteers shot some video of another i.c.e. arrest near story and king road yesterday. the city says the man in that case was a colombian national. san jose mayor matt mahan says the city does not cooperate with these kinds of arrests. these operations happened during the biden administration, too. in fact, overall enforcement and removal operations shot up over the last year according to the department of homeland security, but as our john ramos heard from some community members, the rhetoric seems to be very
11:06 pm
different. >> what we're feeling, what we're hearing is a sense of fear, a climate of anxiety. >> reporter: fear has always been an effective motivator and george galvis with the oakland social justice group courage says the messages from the white house about immigration are having their effect. >> parents are scared to drop off their children to school. people are scared to even access healthcare. we're hearing about our farmworkers here in california are scared to report to work and that crops are not necessarily getting picked and we're hearing about we should anticipate a shortage of food. we should expect a rise in food costs. >> reporter: that's a lot for all of us to fear, but are the i.c.e. raids really happening? the answer is yes, but not as much as some might think. on sunday i.c.e. said it arrested nearly 1,000 people across the country, up from the nearly 600 picked up friday. that would
11:07 pm
certainly be reason for concern for immigrants, but ironically the data shows that far more people were ever deported under presidents obama and biden than during the first trump administration. galvis thinks things may just be getting started and he sees a difference. >> i do think we are going to see increases, but i think it's really more of the climate of xenophobia, of intolerance, of hate that's going to actually create a perpetuation of hate crimes towards it people who are perceived to be otherwise. >> reporter: when the president presented a policy for i.c.e. arrests at schools, it presented a fear in the classroom as well. >> this talk, these threats really have created anxiety amongst our students, families, community members, and our staffs. >> reporter: dr. adam clark is superintendent of the mount diablo unified school district in the east bay. he says no arrests have been attempted at any of his campuses and they don't have hard data showing how many students may be out of school because of the fear, but he says the fear does exist and
11:08 pm
he's doing what he can to make people aware of their policies. >> any officer from any department cannot just walk onto our campuses, flash a badge or give a card and expect to have access to students. we would need some sort of official documentation, specifically a signed warrant from a judge even to start the conversation and so i'm really trying to calm fears and calm anxieties by really just going back to the very strict and clear policies and protocols that we already have in place. >> reporter: there have already been reports of i.c.e. interactions that turned out to be false. so even though galvis is concerned where the enforcement is going, he says it's important not to fan the flames of fear. >> we're trying to promote some restraint. don't promote something unless it's actually been confirmed and what we'd like to see is actually video and photo documentation, receipts and really some confirmations from several sources before it's something
11:09 pm
that we're sharing. >> reporter: president trump promised deportations in his first term, but those didn't turn out to be as extensive as people expected. now that he's doubling down on the rhetoric, the question is how much will his words be put into action this time? >> here's a closer look at the number of i.c.e. arrests over the last six years. orange shows arrests of convicted criminals last year under president biden i.c.e. reporting carrying out the most deportations since 2019. 32% of those deported were convicted criminals. a copper thief did so much damage at a school in vallejo that classes had to be canceled for at least a week. this happened at solano widenmann leadership academy. the school district says staff hosting a basketball competition over the weekend figured out that somebody had been stealing copper and apparently had done some significant damage to the school's electrical systems. >> it's been tough, but we know we have to move forward and do
11:10 pm
what's right for our families and community. so we've tried as quickly as possible to organize and figure out what to do next. >> so if the repairs take longer than a week, the district will have to move its 600 k through eight students to other schools. people who lose their homes to wildfires have plenty of frustration and don't always have somewhere to place the blame, but a new proposal says they might be able to hold someone accountable, oil companies. >> if this bill passes, they're going to have to take a very hard look at seeking compensation. >> why some are worried about this plan's potential fallout and one law group says their video might be the key to figuring out how the deadly eaton fire started, what they say was to blame. a storm system over the weekend brought light rain showers to the bay area and more substantial rain to southern california, but that storm system is now moving out. calm weather for the next few days, but another rain chance is
11:11 pm
headed our way before the end of the seven-day forecast. we'll look at the extended outlook coming up in first alert weather. when you reach for the springtime floral fragrance, you're probably thinking rose petals or something nice, but this flower has notes of rotting meat, where people are waiting in line just to smell it. mmmm... planet oat's so creamy and not watery like- exactly! and unsweetened has 0 grams of sugar. and don't forget, it's an excellent source of calcium. ♪♪ wow! planet oat really has it all... you guys are so right! no you are. no you are. no you are. yeah, you are.

a proposed state law would pave the way for wildfire victims and insurance companies to sue oil companies over climate change. this comes in response to the l.a. wildfires. steve large has the details on the plan and the possible pushback. >> reporter: the l.a. wildfires now leading to a possible new lane for lawsuits over climate change. >> absolutely catastrophic wildfires happening in the middle of winter. >> reporter: democratic state senator scott wiener is proposing a new law directly linking the wildfires to climate change caused by oil companies. >> for insurance companies, if this bill passes, they're going to have to take a very hard look at seeking compensation from the oil companies. >> it will be an invitation for lawsuits. >> reporter: republican state senator roger nelo is opposing the bill. >> this furthers the false narrative that this is all about
11:15 pm
climate change. it is, of course, much more complicated than that. >> reporter: nelo says forest management and cuts to fire departments should also be considered for their roles in california wildfire disasters. the western state's petroleum association ceo issued a statement reading in part, "the announcement of today's proposal is the latest installment of an ongoing effort to scapegoat our industry and the thousands of hard working women and men who keep california running." >> yeah. it's going to probably go to the u.s. supreme court. >> reporter: jamie court with consumer watchdog said the bill would create a new payor in the aftermath of wildfire disaster, oil companies. >> it's no different than tobacco companies. tobacco companies hid the danger of tobacco and were ultimately held liable for billions of dollars in healthcare costs. it's the same theory. >> reporter: wildfire fallout. as rebuilding begins, this proposed law to have oil companies pay part of the price. >> southern california edison said there is no evidence it is to blame for the eaton fire
11:16 pm
according to a new court filing today which was in response to a lawsuit, but new video shared by another legal group, l.a. fire justice, claims to show the moment that edison equipment sparked a fire in eaton canyon. >> that is a street lamp. it's not the fire, but you're about to see the fire down and to the left of the street lamp. there it is, the first flash, and look where it is relative to the towers. eventually that arcing is consistent with what the witnesses saw. now this is where the videos from 6-14 to 6-18 are shot. so because we've used lidar and three dimensional analysis, we know where everything is and then we can superimpose the video you've seen with where we know the transmission poles and the lines are. so this video conclusively shows that this fire started up at the top of transmission pole
11:17 pm
number 3, fell to the ground, ignited grasses and the like. >> the official investigation into the eaton fire is still ongoing. now the rain in southern california has moved out, but not without creating problems in these wildfire burn scars. altadena and malibu were both under advisories for mud and rock slides this weekend and the danger is not over. crews are worried the mudslide risks could last weeks, especially as we move into february when more rain typically falls. >> as we come into rain season, that's going to be a genuine concern of ours and then we'll have all hands on deck monitoring that, working with the national weather service and deploying resources as needed. >> obviously this is of great concern because the palisades fire burn scar alone covers 36 miles. join us as cbs news bay area tomorrow is on instagram as

11:19 pm
plenty of sunshine tomorrow warming us up to near or slightly above average temperatures tuesday afternoon. we'll stay quiet most of the week. that changes for the last day of this workweek as an unsettled weather pattern returns friday with the next chance of showers moving into at least parts of the bay area. not everybody will get into this next one. clear skies over san jose now, temperatures dropping off quickly, 37 degrees in livermore, 38 in santa rosa, 50 degrees, clinging to 50 degrees, right now in san francisco, but that number will drop by almost 10 degrees through tonight. the light offshore wind will keep the marine influence at bay and allows to really drop off overnight down to around or below freezing for most of the north bay, even down to the mid-30s along the coast in bodega bay. the cold spot is east of the oakland hills, 30 degrees top morning in livermore, 7 degrees chillier than now. upper 30s and low 40s around the bay and along the coast and 30s in the santa clara valley as well, but without any
11:20 pm
fog, the sun will work warming up the atmosphere. we'll be back to the mid-60s in san jose, 64 degrees, 4 degrees above average, the warm spot across the bay area, only mid-50s along the coast because that marine influence will start to return. we'll see a little fog start to sneak in by this time tomorrow evening, but most of the day we'll be sunny with temperatures topping out as a mix of upper 50s and low 60s across the region. the next rain chance doesn't head our way till the end of the workweek. let's look at the day-by-day rain chances. it's not off the charts, about 50/50 by late friday continuing through the weekend because of the nature how this sets up. the farther south you go, you're not going to get much rain at all in the santa clara valley. the farther north you go it's going to be much more substantial in the north bay and look at futurecast as we add the rain up through the weekend into early next week. it's kind of an all or nothing pattern. the nothing decide of this would be around san jose, basically the southern half of the bay area. like the
11:21 pm
systems that came in in november and december, i-80 was often the dividing line for the all or nothing. some spots close to 1 inch of total rainfall and the heftiest amounts with this first wave of moisture will be farther to our north. northern california will hit the jackpot with several inches of rain likely over the weekend and into early next week, but just beyond the seven-day forecast there is another storm system heading our way by tuesday and wednesday of next week. that has a much better chance of spreading rain across the entire bay area. it's going to be more of an equal opportunity rain event. two halves of the seven-day forecast, calm weather tomorrow, wednesday, and thursday with near or slightly above average temperatures. temperatures don't change even as the clouds return and the rainy pattern returns, showers most likely for the northern half of the bay area, but since we're talking about the latter half of the seven-day forecast, a lot can change over the next several days. we'll see if that wants to drift farther south and keep you updated where the rain will

a chiefs super fan is celebrating his team's next trip to the super bowl and he's got some ink to prove it. david leach got the so-called champ stamp. i guess that's a play on the other way of saying this, of qb patrick mahomes after losing a bet. that bet was kansas city would never have a franchise player. kc later drafted mahomes. leach lost the bet. now he has a nine by six inch likeness of him on his lower back. >> since i got tattoo and patrick signed it on jimmy kimmel, we have never lost a game i've attended. that
11:27 pm
includes super bowl in arizona, afc championship games and regular season games. the most painful tattoo i've ever gotten in my life. >> yeah. that spot hurts. leach was at yesterday's afc championship game where he was hoping to add signatures from taylor swift and travis kelce. don't know if he was able to get those or not, but just asking. >> i kind of doubt that. security! >> hey, i'm a fan of tats, but, man, that guy, man. >> it's a commitment. >> if you're a real 49er fan, no love for the kansas city chiefs, not in the super bowl. >> no, no. as we transition to the san jose sharks, second time in a week we've talked about them. how about that? you know something? this would have been a big deal about a decade ago. stanley cup finals 2016, pittsburgh-san jose, remember those days? that's when the sharks were the sexy pick to win
11:28 pm
it all. sharks 2024 numberone overall pick macklin celebrini up against 2005 top pick sidney crosby, seconds into the third period, 37-year-old crosby poked it in, tied the game 1-1, sid the kid, 20th on the all time scoring list. face-off between celebrini and crosby. pittsburgh turned it over behind the net and celebrini scored his 16th goal of the year. under ten minutes left. penguins drew o'connor with a penalty shot, but san jose rookie goalie yaroslav askarov said no. san jose kept in front. askarov made 31 saves and the sharks won it 2-1 and snapped their six-game losing streak. all right. nfl and pete carroll, grew up in marin, redwood high school, 49er fan, went to games at kezar stadium. there was always another team, though, in the bay area that caught his attention and all these years later pete carroll is the new head coach of the
