she backed jones dixon but tells us she ultimately wants a da who will listen to the people. >> accountability, yes, number one, but a district attorney who listens to the people to hear us out because this whole time under the previous district attorney, we were not heard clearly. so we had to put forth this recall to get her out and choose a new district attorney, and we hope it works out. >> ursula jones dixon will begin serving as da until 2026 when the seat goes up for election. all seven candidates indicated they would run. another top story tonight, california's water system has been thrust into the national spotlight as trends executive order promises to deliver more water tower states farms. the president announced an executive action during his visit --

excuse me, southern california's wildfire zone last week ordering federal agencies to immediately come up with ways to move more water through the central valley and southern california. instead of trying to protect a tiny fish species. you remember he also sent water from the northern part of the state could have put out the fires which is not the case. so, as recently as last night the president posted about the military turning back on water pumps , immediately rebuffed by state water officials. california's water system is complex. most of the water comes from the north and is delivered to the state through two different large, pumping systems. the federal government is only one part of the players when it comes to divvying up those pressers -- precious resources. >> this is the intake for the central valley project. the federal system that takes water

from the delta and distributes it to farmers in the central valley. >> reporter: if you are looking for the valve at the center of the california water discussion , this, perhaps, would be one of them. >> this is a project that the federal government controls. it is operated by the united states bureau of recommendation, and the president certainly has a sway over how this is operated. >> reporter: just a few miles away there is another , not so much, a valve, like a giant straw. >> the state of california has its own separate canal system called the state water project, that supplies water to the central valley and all the way to southern california. and this is the point where it is removed from the delta. >> reporter: it is a bit further above the river. there is another one for more than half 1 million people in the bay area. >> this is one of the intakes

for the contra costa water district. so, the water that is taken from the delta here supplies the drinking water for a good portion of contra costa county. >> reporter: a captain for this tour is michael brodsky, legal counsel for the save california delta alliance. he says, the freshwater pool that is so critical to much of california simply has too many straws. >> right. the term or technical term right now is the delta and sacramento river system that are oversubscribed. more people have rights to take more water down the system can possibly support. >> open up the pumps and valves in the north. we want to get the water pouring down here as quickly as possible. >> reporter: as for the executive order, the fish would be the federally protected smelt, but saving those tiny

fish is not just about preserving them. it's also about preserving a freshwater delta against the push of a rising sea. >> and more water is diverted from the sacramento river from the delta . the farther upstream and the saltier the delta gifts. it gets through that point where the water cannot be used for agriculture, and cannot be used for drinking water. >> reporter: and the debate flows into another critique of california water policy. >> president trump talked about millions and billions of gallons of water going out to sea. and he blamed that on the delta smelt. the main reason why a whole lot of water goes out to sea that might be put to other use is because we have nowhere to put it. we don't have any storage, we don't have the reservoir capacity, and we

don't have the capacity to recharge groundwater in the central valley where it could be stored. >> reporter: for his part, he says there are possible ways out of this generational standoff over delta water. he says, the real answers lie much farther south. >> we cannot continue to send an unlimited water supply to los angeles. and it makes sense to look at other ways to supply los angeles with water. >> reporter: and while it is unclear exactly how the president plans to change this conversation, brodsky says the notoriously complex water challenges do have some simple truths. >> at one level, though, it is pretty simple. with the infrastructure we have now, we can't take any more water out of the delta system without harming our northern california farmers, northern california cities and the environment. >> reporter: now, we are already living with invocations of all of this. they are building a desalination plant for the water they pull out of the river, anticipating changes as the

pacific moves in. this really is a generational discussion about what to do with delta water. the delta tamil debate is part of this like the peripheral canal that was proposed back in the 1980s. how does trump change the course of this conversation? that, right now, is anybody's guess. and, coincidentally, california announced an increase in water deliveries thanks to an above average water reservoir storage. a show of solidarity with the immigrant community around the bay area today, high school students were among hundreds of people who marched in san jose against the trump administration's threat of mass deportations. >> no justice, no peace! >> students at over felt high school led a walkout this afternoon holding signs as they marched through the streets. the

crowd made their way to the intersection of king and story roads where they block traffic for more than two hours. the rally forced major traffic backups on 101 and 680 as officers directed cars away from the protesters. >> what trump is doing is inhumane, and criminalizing community members who have done nothing but contribute to this country. they put their labor antibody into this country. it's time we give them a pathway to citizenship, and we stop separating families because we are better than that. >> this all comes after mayor matt in him confirmed at least two operations in san jose. meanwhile, san francisco officials reaffirm the century status today. city leaders stood with community activists to show support for the immigrant community in the wake of the trump administration's clock -- crackdown, including the mayor. >> this city is your home. and know that i and everyone here will continue working to make sure it remains a safe and welcoming home for all families, no matter where you come from. >> the san francisco city attorney says they will fight

against any pushback from the trump administration if they have too. up next, more on president trump's attempt to hold federal grants, the impact in california including services like meals on wheels. also, the pushback against drastic

mmmm... planet oat's so creamy and not watery like- exactly! and unsweetened has 0 grams of sugar. and it's an excellent source of calcium. wow! planet oat really has it all! ♪♪ a lot of confusion tonight over president trump's order to freeze federal funding. a federal judge has since locked the trump administration's plan until monday. right now, it is unclear how much funding will be

paused. how many groups are affected, and how long? it could impact everything from aid to nonprofits and universities to small business loans, and state and local government grants. meals on wheels san francisco told us they have not received a direct confirmation on their funding status. >> there have been a lot of scare calls from seniors who depend on us, asking, does this apply to us? are you still doing deliveries? can you put a message out on your website? can you let us know what is happening? >> the white house says, social security, medicare benefits and assistance provided directly to individuals would not be impacted. and so far, the pause will apply to any programs that conflict with the president's executive orders on topics like immigration, foreign aid and eei. federal dollars support many services in california, about one third of the state budget comes from the feds. most of that money goes to medi-cal,

california's version of medicare. sonoma state university students, faculty and staff, they are pushing to save the athletics program. they sounded off during the board of trustees meeting in long beach, today. the university announced last week it is eliminating all sports and several academic departments as it faces a nearly $24 million budget deficit. so the cuts weren't on the meeting agenda, but many people who joined public comment expressed frustrations to the board. >> the programs for athletics are the center of the university. id funding the athletic program you are robbing the future of student athletes across all backgrounds who have invested their time and commitment. >> students, athletes and coaches have filed a federal civil rights complaint against the university. attorneys are

also working on a class-action lawsuit. rookie nba player in former sonoma c wolf jame and wells is joining the push to save the sports program. he shared this photo with the hashtag save seawolves athletics. he played basketball at sonoma from 2021 to 2023 and later transferred to washington state. he currently plays for the memphis grizzlies. all right, here we go. weather, first alert, paul heggen. that's all i've got for you today. >> you are on a roll with these segues, here. [ laughter ] reading directors notes in the 6:00 half-hour. here, full screen comes up, it says first alert weather. >> a but i added, take it away. >> the improv master. >> tune in wednesday. i will work on it. >> that's the key to improv. here's what you need to know for the rest of this week. a little bit of fog as we look at salesforce tower. that's the change you will notice into tomorrow. chilly temperatures overnight, but locally dense fog

in the first half of wednesday. dry weather continues tomorrow and thursday. then rain continues for parts of the bay area. the forecast will be unsettled over the weekend and into early next week. several different rain chances headed our way. see a different perspective of fog and cloud cover as we look downtown at the bay bridge. temperatures dropping off, not too bad for january evening, mix of upper 40s and 50s, 52 degrees is the least cool spot in san jose. but the fog will continue to spread through the rest of the night. let's check future cast. it's going to become pretty widespread by tomorrow morning. fog and low temperature to begin the day, we haven't seen that in the month of january. so give yourself a few moments to navigate and reduce visibility as you are not in that mode of thinking because we have been fog free for most of the month. but fog will come back to the coast. temperatures will warm up to what is basically normal for this time of year, a couple degrees below average it will be tough to shake that fog , only

in the low 50s, mid to upper 50s around the bay, and mid to upper 50s for most of the bay area which is within 2 to 3 degrees of where we are supposed to be in late january. the warmest spot will approach 60 degrees, 61 degrees in san jose happens to be exactly tomorrow's average temperature in san jose. this is what january is supposed to feel like with similar temperatures in store on monday, then things change with the next rain chance headed our way on friday. let's look at future cast. we will start the clock at 4:00 on thursday afternoon when we are just going to be seeing an increase in cloud cover. but we will approach the coast of the north bay already before the sun comes up on friday morning. the north bay will get the heaviest spread from this first system friday and into friday night. the previous couple that of headed our way during the month of november and december, remember i-80 was often the

dividing line, not very much rain. this one is shaping up well as we freeze the map at 10:00 on friday, quite a bit of rain from san francisco northward. you go across the hills, we are not seeing nearly as much rainfall. this will give way to intermittent showers but still a little bit more of the much-needed moisture at this point. we are falling behind the pace at this point in the season. but even if you look to the south, you miss out on the first chance of rain, often on showers still on saturday, best chances are in the northbay. the next chance of rain heads our way monday into tuesday. that is going to bring rain on a more evenly distributed basis. you can see as we add up the rain during the course of the systems. friday into friday night, talking about barely a trace for the bay area generally up to a quarter inch or inch of rain for parts of the northbay with a little bit more on top of that on saturday, not much for sunday. sunday looks like a dry half of the weekend, still flexible plans have an indoor backup ready to go. the system comes late monday into tuesday. it is going to spread the rain further across the bay area.

everyone will pick up short of half an inch of rainfall over the course of the next seven days to potentially over three inches of rain in parts of the northbay, and the amounts are much more eye-catching as we look to the north coast. this is one version of the north cast model. this will value the numbers through the rest of the week. this will have flooding issues for northern california over a foot of rain over the next seven days. again, one version of one forecast model does not mean it will be exactly this amount, but still, signs of this atmospheric river may overachieve for neighbors to the north. let's look at the seven-day forecast. we will see the dry weather the next couple days replaced by the generally unsettled pattern friday through the weekend and into next week. notice the phrasing at the

bottom on friday, showers likely. saturday and sunday, showers possible. then they become likely again by monday and tuesday of next week. again, we need the rain. we have fallen behind the pace of where we should be into early february especially i-80 itself, so we will take it. >> for sure. if you are a golfer, you might say, not this weekend, right? coming up, the number one golfer in the world headlines pebble beach, but he might want to let somebody else handle the

i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe.
