owner is just not fair. >> and i'm very concerned. >> what they're saying about the plan to remove bike lanes in san mateo. >> i understand there are two problems and this is not solving either of them. and later. >> so once they showed up, it was a major concern. >> solving for free. what humans couldn't accomplish with millions. how hungry sea otters likely saved a monterey county ecosystem as they fought back from near extinction. >> and they are certainly the heroes of the story. >> and a creative way to punish shoplifters without throwing the book at them. good evening, a new district attorney officially taking the reins as ursula jones-dixon was sworn in less than two hours

ago. the board selected dixon to replace pamela price who was overwhelmingly recalled by voters in november. her critics say the progressive policies were soft on crime. long-time superior court judge said she has plans to hear some changes. >> reporter: dixon spoke briefly, a message of urgency and a desire to let them know that they will be protected and heard. >> congratulations. >> i've had a lot of blessings. and this is one of the greatest ones. there were seven

finalists. dixon was unanimously voted into the position of the alameda county board of supervisors after a long interview process. >> the one thing that i'm concerned about is the cohesiveness. and it is the alameda county's office, which just happened to be leading it now. >> reporter: they were there for the swearing in. price was not. taking over the position after being recalled in november by 63% of voters. one of her top priorities is reversing some of their directives, that limited how they could be charged. >> and they are no longer in place and the expectations that they know how to charge the case. they shouldn't have to go through three levels to determine whether or not that should be charged. >> reporter: and they came out in favor of the price recall

last year. she's been the court judge since 2013, taking over the office. >> she's a talented lawyer in the office and a fair judge when she was on the bench. she's got her hands full. on one hand, she has to put together the office that has been dismantled and project to the community that tay will be prosecuted. >> our biggest call is to try to make sure they realize it is our job and the process and it is our job to make sure they're heard. >> reporter: will she plans to hit that ground running. rebuilding their assistance programs, and meeting with the murder victims and their families. she's in it for the long hall. i'd like to stay

there longer, but we'll see how it runs out. >> reporter: they run through june of 2026. then they'll have the opportunity to re-elect her or someone else for the next two-year term. the recall was the first time in history. on to concord where police shot and killed a man accused of stabbing a family member this morning near the drive of willow pass road just after 10:00 or 1:40 in the morning. so officers opened fire, where the family member was expected to survive. and a wild story about the alleged cult. we are talking about multiple murders. a shootout with the border patrol agent here to explain how they've connected to the bay area. >> kind of a lot going on here

and certainly something to explain. they're called the zizians, focusing on a.i., gender identity, and artificial intelligence. they're tied to six murders including one in vallejo. this all started with founder jack lasota and lives in berkeley. this is the mugshot when she and two other zizians were arrested yesterday in maryland. they were charged with trespassing and hiding a gun in their car. they're being held without bail. michelle zajko is one of the people arrested. and the 2022 murders of her parents, richard and rita in pennsylvania, charged with obstructing the homicide investigation and living with other members of the group. they tried to evict them, stabbed in the eye with a sword and shoots

and kills one of the zizians. this january, she was stabbed and killed if vallejo. a man named snyder was charged of the murder, trying to stop them from testifying. three days after that shooting, there was a shootout near the canadian border. the other member of the group was charged with gun charges. we know the fbi has searched the home where zizian was living with the two people involved and the border patrol shootout. and we're waiting on the next steps in the trespassing case out of maryland. so i know that there is a lot to keep track of there and a lot of tragedy in the loss of life and everything. the story that will get attention for years to come. >> the investigation into it all. all right, thank you.

okay, there's construction on valencia street in san francisco and again this time, the city is getting rid of the bike lane. the officials say they heard from angry business owners who said it made parking difficult, they drove away customers. there will be some road closures while they will take it out. they will be putting in lanes on either side of the streets, so you could see the difference there in green. the new design lets businesses have floating parklets in between the street. and they will take two to three months. a similar battle over the bike lanes happening in san mateo now, where the city is removing some bike lanes, exploring other ways for drivers to share the road. we spoke to neighbors on both sides of the

issues. safety is important on every bike ride, especially those that involve picking up her 5-year-old daughter from school. >> reporter: it's one of the reasons she liked the street in the neighborhood where she was looking for a place to live. it has bike lanes, providing her with aceps of safety as she goes about her carless life. >> at least four rides on the bike lane every single day. >> reporter: they're pushing forward with the removal of their bike lanes. >> i'm honestly very concerned. >> reporter: as a solution to the other problems that they created when they were installed about two years ago. >> and sometimes they will need to put them out to try to get people from going into the driveway. >> reporter: the long-time resident lives a street away from humboldt. >> it is an extremely dense neighborhood. >> reporter: parking was an issue in the north central neighborhood, well before the bike lanes eliminated hundreds of spots. >> but these people, they lost their parking rights or privileges to park on the street. >> reporter: as a result, she

says people frequently can't park near their homes. >> and this is not san francisco. it is not oakland. it is san mateo. it is a suburb in the city. and i'm 88 years old. this neighborhood is full of a lot of people who are my age and older. they're not going to get out and walk at night. >> reporter: the city is exploring a plan that could cost $2 million to remove bike lanes on humboldt. bring back 100 parking spaces. in turn, pilot a bike boulevard on two streets in the neighborhood. and not bike lanes, however. issue is a hot one if the neighborhood. dozens of people recently spoke up at a city council meeting, taking it well into the nights. some people pleaded city officials reconsider, reminding them the lane went up after the traffic series in the area and because there are several schools in the area. others argue that there aren't enough people using the bike lanes to justify them. some neighbors took weeks of video surveillance that they argue illustrates that reality. >> and not against the bike

riders. i want people to be able to ride. but to take something away from a property owner is just not fair. >> i understand that there are two problems, but this is not solving either of them. >> reporter: and they think there is a better compromise that the city could explore. >> there could be some permit system just as we tested these things. we could test the parking permit to make sure at least our neighbors have a place to park. >> reporter: but to her, the idea on the table is a lose-lose for the neighborhood. >> and i'm worried for my safety and my daughter's safety. >> reporter: a new layer of anxiety for her only way of getting around. >> and proponents of keeping the bike lanes tell us the survey of north central and san mateo residents will show more people say the lanes are good for the neighborhood than those who say they are bad for it. still ahead. they say nature finds a way. in this case, they took a cute furry predator to beat back an infestation in a

monterey county estuary. >> my colleague is retrieving his traps. in the background, he hears this loud chewing. >> and how the sea otters will fight for survival may have saved an entire ecosystem. and plus an east bay camera shop ceo describes the helpless feeling of watching thieves ransack her store overnight.

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. [skateboard sounds]

a camera shop in business suffered a devastating loss that is helping to bounce back. here is the story. robbers rammed the vehicle into the looking glass. the store's present said they got a security alert on their phone that woke them up in the middle of the night. she could see the thieves on camera stealing gear worth thousands of dollars. >> and not really a wig, overwhelmed, feeling furious. and scared, and worried, and unsure, you know, like i'm at home, i'm not here. so what do you do? >> reporter: and insurance will pay for some of the damage, but they have set up the online fundraiser to replace the broken store front and install a security door. all right, onto teachers in

san ramon. they're pushing back against the proposed budget cut. they held a rally today. >> when we fight, we win. >> the san ramon valley unified school district said they need to cut $26 million next school year. that's on top of the $13 million that's been cut. the proposed cuts include reducing counselors and social workers, and a limiting position and custodians. so the district released a statement saying it doesn't want to do cuts, but they're necessary to keep the district financially stable. it also says they are committed to working with students and staff during this time. now we take you to monterey county, a classic tail of nature finding a way. crab threatening the entire ecosystem of the slew, that is until an

unexpected hero stepped in as we report, it turns out the solution is as cute as it was effective. setting traps in elk horn slew trying to catch an invader. >> will and they would wreak havoc. so once they showed up under the west coast, it was a major concern. >> reporter: the researcher at the elk horn slew reserve, tracking these troublemakers, who were throwing the entire ecosystem into chaos, no matter how many traps they set, they always come out of full, as they started to disappear with no explanation. >> and now there are no crabs

here. >> reporter: the teen was stomped. >> my colleague is retrieving the traps. he hears the loud chewing. >> reporter: the snackers? the sea otters. once nearly wiped out by the fur trade. they had made a sunday comeback, with them, so had the entire habitat. >> and they are essentially the heroes of this story. >> they are certainly the heroes of the story. >> reporter: had and today, about 100 otters would call them home. devouring tens of thousands of green grabs each year, doing for free what humans couldn't have accomplished with millions. a local volunteer and an otter whisperer. he says they want -- just save the environment, they also jump started the local economy. >> and the income here is several million dollars a week, so it is just incredible the

amount of money that they bring. >> never before have we done anything. >> reporter: taking a bite out of the green grab invasion restoring balance to the utter chaos. >> reporter: and they now hover around 3,000 and the far cry from the tens of thousands where they considered that plan to grow the population further. comfortable temperatures across the bay area. seeing some clouds out there ahead of the next rain chance, but it won't amount to too much. a couple degrees above normal for the middle of february. a big warm up for the last weekend of february

gorgeous view of the city there for you. now paul, it's going to rain on our parade, just a little bit? >> a tiny bit of a parade. it depends on what's on the agenda.

cloud cover is thickening over the bay area. the bulk of the moisture is going to be missing us to the north. so we're talking about the storm system that will be directing atmospheric river towards the west coast, but not towards the bay area. all that moisture will be aimed at the pacific northwest, and that's the trend that will repeat themselves over and over again, over the course of likely the next couple of weeks. the minimal rain chances in the forecast through the end of february and even into early march. but minimal doesn't necessarily mean zero. we're going to see at least a few light showers making their way into the bay area tomorrow. for the moment, all we have is the cloud cover out there, which will have an impact on the temperatures throughout the rest of tonight. looking towards the bay bridge and looking good. otherwise mid to upper 50s across the board. they will get thicker and thicker throughout the rest of tonight. even if you don't see any of those showers tomorrow, you will feel the

influence tomorrow. and underneath the blanket of clouds. for wake up temperatures on wednesday, and once the showers come to an end, we will make it up to what's normal for this time of the year. those 60s in the santa clara valley and all these numbers within 1 to 2 degrees of what's normal for the 19th of february. 59 degrees in san francisco with mostly upper 50s along the coast as well. low 60s in the north bay, even with the thicker cloud cover and a better chance for tomorrow morning. let's time it out for futurecast through midnight and 6:00 tomorrow morning. one band of sprinkles, largely going to evaporate as they make their way through during the late night hours. we'll freeze them the a 6:00 p.m. that's when they will be making their way into the north bay, but they will not amount to very much at all from 6:00 to noon. watch the showers fall apart as they would try to make their way deeper into the bay area. other than the north bay,

a few sprinkles, just enough to maybe make you fiddle with them on the morning commute. from midday into the afternoon, even the leftover sprinkles will fall apart as we might see them by tomorrow afternoon, partly why they are going to bounce back close to what's normal for this time of the year. let's add it up. it doesn't take a whole lot of adding. first, i want to make sure we get that dog walking forecast in. this is rocco, adoptable from their legacy in petaluma, where they have one of the better rain chances in the morning, so better to put them off until later on in the day. but the temperatures are still warming up to around 60 degrees, which they will be happy enough about that and happier with the forever family. i'll put up the adoptable information on social media after this weather cast. here is the rainfall totals for tomorrow. again, it doesn't take a whole lot here. we are talking about less than a tenth of an inch, more than a trace if you managed to add up more than a trace. for some locations, you will come up with nothing, just

evaporating on the way down to the santa clara valley. rain chances after tomorrow, there aren't any. we'll be seeing dry weather through the rest of the seven-day forecast and significantly warmer weather through the rest of the seven-day forecast. look at the ten-day outlook for san jose. we climb up to 70 degrees on sunday and then staying in the low to mid-70s through the end of february, which is a week from friday. let's take a look at the seven-day outlook as we will start inland. one of the warmest spots. everyone else topping out in the low 70s by sunday, monday, tuesday. and that is not too bad at all for the last weekend of february and then the last few days. even threatening 70 degrees with a mix of clouds and sunshine. and the temperatures along the coast, you're going to climb out of the 50s into 60s. again, just hardly any rain in sight once we get past tomorrow. jules? >> do you see what i'm running

over here? >> i'm trying to pick which side i'm on based on whatever side you're not on to make sure you get your steps in. >> and the pitter patter. >> nice job. you never love to see you sweat. when we come back, an unusual punishment for petty theft. the unique sentence for shoplifters at a midwest walmart store. and here is what's ahead on cbs evening news. >> here in los angeles in the aftermath of disaster, the question is whether to rebuild or retreat. i'm mark strassmann. that's our eye on america on tonight's cbs evening news.

we find this story very interesting. a judge in michigan has found a creative way to punish shoplifters at a local walmart. nearly 50 shoplifters have been ordered to wash cars for free over four weekends in the spring. the judge says the car wash is a way to deincentivize shoplifting, while also rewarding shoppers who could see higher prices or possible store closures if the thefts continue. he expects about 75 to 100 people will eventually be ordered to work the walmart washes in march and

april. >> and these people, they don't get it. so they are either going to get it, wash cars a lot, or they're going to go to jail. >> there you go. and guess what? the judge says he also plans to grab a sponge and wash cars with them. they better show up. cbs evening news with maurice dubois and john dickerson is up next. we're back here in 30 minutes with more news just for you at 7:00. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> announcer: from cbs news headquarters in new york, this is the "cbs evening news." ♪ ♪ >> maurice: good evening. i'm maurice dubois. >> john: i'm john dickerson. we began last night with this amazing image of a jetliner belly-up on a runway at the toronto airport, and the questions: how did it happen? and what was going on inside that plane? >> maurice: tonight we begin with some answers.
