now flying over city hall. this is a live look. you can see a crowd of people there gathering with signs. these protesters are calling to limit what they call the executive branch's overreach. since the start of his second term, president trump has signed 65 executive orders, many of them facing legal challenges. protests are also planned in other cities around the country as part of a national day of action to show resistance to the trump administration in oakland. chopper five flew over a group just starting to gather at fruitvale plaza recently. they're planning to march to lake merritt right now, and that is where they are expecting to be joined by a bike and car caravan. organizers say they are doing this to fight back against the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. demonstrators got a head start over the weekend. yesterday, hundreds of people marched 21 miles from san mateo to san francisco. our da lin was there.

12:03 pm
i wouldn't be out here today. hundreds >of people stretching for blocks marched from san mateo city hall to san francisco city hall, making brief stops at daly city and san bruno city halls. >the reason we chose to do this is because it's a resemblance of the walk that many of our parents did to come to this country. >21 miles and thousands of steps. san mateo county sheriff's department and other agencies providing traffic control. >my feet are in pain. probably have blisters by the end of the day, but i feel like it's worth it for the cause. >g7 >>i'm very tired, but i think the adrenaline has been kicking in. a lot of these girls have a lot of energy. everyone's still chanting. >the young organizers remind the public it was the republican party and president ronald reagan who signed the last sweeping immigration reform bill into law back in 1986. they admit it will take a lot more work and pressure for that kind of change under the trump administration. >honestly, i. did not expect this many people to come out, but it's really empowering.
12:04 pm
turning >fear into strength and unity. martinez zaragoza says this is part of a lengthy journey for change. >when it comes to us asking for citizenship, we're really just asking for basic human rights. >well, protests against the trump administration also happening in washington, d.c., some people gathering outside the capitol and on the national mall this morning for what they call a not my presidents day rally. a cbs news poll released about a week ago shows most americans approve of president trump's program to deport immigrants here in the u.s. illegally. all right. to our first alert weather now. it is a dry end to the three day weekend as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge. a lot of people observing the presidents day holiday, so traffic's been pretty chill today. meteorologist jessica burch has our forecast, including the next chance of rain not too far away. >throughout the bay area. today we are gearing up for partly cloudy skies and daytime highs right where they should
12:05 pm
be for this time of year, meaning upper 50s in areas like san francisco and along the coast all the way down into redwood city. we're in the 60s, which looks very similar to our friends up in the north bay near napa, and all the way down into the santa clara valley, too. now winds are light for us currently, but they are going to get gusty into the afternoon hours today. and the other big weather story for us has nothing to do with the winds. it has everything to do with rain. shockingly, we actually have a cold front sweeping throughout the bay area as we head into our wednesday forecast. so not now, not tomorrow, but wednesday morning. we'll get a light sweep of showers throughout the bay area. it moves off into the east, and that cold front will actually bring in some chillier temperatures for our daytime highs on wednesday, and it will also give us about a 10th of an inch of rain in areas like santa rosa. stretched all the way over into napa. less impressive numbers and more south we go, but after that we start to warm up and dry up too. taking a quick look at the next seven days, we're in for a treat heading into this weekend with daytime highs jumping into the 70s with sunny skies around the corner in our inland spots. >thanks, jess. sierra ski

12:08 pm
president vladimir putin soon, following their phone call last week. but secretary rubio says there's still a lot of work to be done. >the next few. weeks and days will determine whether it's serious or not. ultimately, one phone call does not make peace. one phone call does not solve a war as complex as this one. >ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy said ukraine was not invited to the talks, and any deal made without them will not be recognized. secretary of state rubio's trip to the middle east comes as he's also in the region to discuss the future of gaza and the cease fire between israel and hamas. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he and the trump administration are working in complete coordination. >have a common strategy and we can't always share the details of this strategy with the public, including when the gates of ... will be opened, as they surely will if all our hostages are not released. >rubio said the u.s. is not
12:09 pm
in favor of waiting weeks and weeks for all hostages to come home. he also said hamas cannot continue as a military or government force. >in addition to being in saudi arabia for talks about russia, secretary of state, rubio is also discussing president trump's plans to resettle palestinians out of gaza. the u.s. can take over the strip and develop it. at least 11 people are dead, thousands without power after destructive storms swept through the southeast. water levels reached historic highs in kentucky. heavy rain, flooding and tornadoes hit multiple states. millions of people now bracing for an arctic blast that is expected to set temperature records this week. still ahead here at noon and streaming on cbs news. bay area nba all-star weekend. wrapping up. we have a closer look at the excitement that brought tens of thousands of people to the bay. and a bay area teen wins big bucks at the all star game. we're going to

12:16 pm
time. i had to hit the shot and i used the backboard, but which i never usually do. >wow. he says he plans on using that money to help his family and further his college education. the chinese new year parade and street fair saturday also attracted thousands of visitors over the weekend. vibrant energy coming through chinatown. the celebration featured entertainment, live performances and shopping. the annual street fair on grant avenue, along with some other events, provided a significant economic boost. all throughout downtown. back to our first alert weather. now taking a live look at a foggy golden gate bridge. let's check back in with meteorologist jessica burch. >it's a mild start to the week for us here in the bay area, with our daytime highs today only topping off in the upper 50s and lower 60s, anywhere from petaluma all the way over into san francisco, down into the santa clara valley as well. it will be a partly cloudy day for us today, but we are gearing up for some changes in the forecast right around the corner. before we get there, though, let's start
12:17 pm
off with the winds. it was nice and light for us this morning heading into the afternoon hours today. yeah, it gets a little bit breezier with wind gusts along our shoreline anywhere up to around 20 to 30mph. at times. those winds will die down into the overnight hours tonight. here's the other big story for us. it has to do with rain right around the corner. as we head into this week's forecast. late tuesday night, early wednesday morning, we're going to see a lot more dense clouds form. and then just from offshore, we get this weak cold front that's going to sweep through all of our communities, producing just a little bit of showers all the way up into the north bay and down into the santa clara valley. the time stamps just above my head. this moves throughout those morning hours for those morning commute hours, anywhere from the north bay down into the peninsula, we could see close to around a 10th of an inch of rain, a little bit less impressive numbers. the more south we go closer to the santa clara valley, where we have a better shot of seeing about 100th of an inch of rain down near san jose and fremont. so nothing really crazy to write home about, but that's going to split our week in half with just some light showers here and just a little bit of snow for our friends up in the sierra too. so if you were thinking of doing a midweek trip, keep that in mind. they're dealing with those
12:18 pm
dusting conditions and you probably want to have the chains just in case. now, after the cold front sweeps through wednesday, we're in for a treat. we start to warm up fast. we jump into the mid 60s as early as friday. suddenly we're talking about upper 60s and some lower 70s in the forecast too. heading into this weekend's forecast, you know where we see those 70. it's down into the santa clara valley and off into the east bay. that's going to be a beautiful setup for us as we dive into this weekend's forecast. so we'll keep you updated on that here in the weather center for now. luckily we're sitting with mild conditions today and tomorrow. we get that quick splash of showers for wednesday, and we're in for a treat for the rest of the week here in the bay. so this is amazing. this is a permanent hair removal medical device cleared by the fda for all skin colors from. you're talking about like the one at the spa that cost thousands of dollars. that's right. every single time you go in, it's 100 to 800 bucks per service. you've got to go 6 to 8 times for permanent hair removal. this one is amazing because this
12:19 pm
uses two forces of energy. they find the hair follicle, they warm that hair follicle up, and once they warm that hair follicle up, guess what? it disables it so it can never grow back. you're going to utilize this one time. there we go. one. feel that. no pain right. no pain in seven weeks. you use it once a week. okay. men from the chest down, women from the cheeks down. so, hey, have we got a little spare? something, something. and again, it's going to grab that hair follicle, warm it up and disable it. if you get this now you are going to see in seven weeks 94% less hair permanent. and then when you need it, you use it for a touch up. my daughter has already claimed it. after i get when i'm done with it, she's going to use it. $359. it's $100 savings, by the way. they're throwing in the electric razor and a special piece that you can use for the hard to reach places on the body they're throwing that in, as well as a bonus. so you're saving a fortune. to get this. deal and more. scan the. qr code at the top of your screen or

strength that's anything but ordinary. well, if you are looking for a better night's sleep and aren't we all, it might apparently start with a better diet. lots of americans are tossing and turning the night away. the national institutes of health say 50 to 70 million americans struggle with sleep disorders. about one third of adults don't get enough uninterrupted sleep. and that's where your diet might be the best remedy. a new book called eat better, sleep
12:27 pm
better says the trick is eating more fiber and less saturated fat. that means more veggies and fruits, plus nuts, including walnuts and pistachios, along with seafood. also, they say stick to whole grains and try not to save your biggest meal for dinner time. >it's a vicious. cycle or a healthful cycle, depending on how you look at it, right? so how do you sleep. at night? influences what you choose to eat during the day. the next day when we have poor sleep at night, we often tend to gravitate over more snack type foods. less healthy foods. definitely muffins. for me. higher fat, higher sugar typically. right. and those types of foods tend to lead to poor sleep at night. >another tip is looking for foods that are high in tryptophan. that includes turkey, which is why people might get better sleep on thanksgiving. that is it for the afternoon edition. remember, we are streaming 24 over seven on the free cbs news app. our next newscast is coming up at 5:00. meantime,
