talking about 60s in the forecast near oakland and san francisco. upper 60s a little bit more south closer to fremont and down into the santa clara valley. and that matches up with a lot with what our friends up in the north have too. you head over into santa rosa and napa. we're already close to the 70s and a similar trend as we head into next couple of days but just a degree or two warmer day-by-day. now some other things to mention too. as we head into the afternoon hours today, after the sun starts to rise, we're going to be left with light wind for the most part throughout the bay and max winds closer to around 15 miles per hour through the coastline and that happens around 3:00 and in the evening hours tonight it dies down. i'm going to drop this real fast though. we are warming up this weekend and high pressure is starting to build its way in. so our inland forecast is expected to see 70s nod only for saturday and sunday but heading into next week too. with sunny skies as well. a beautiful setup for us right around the corner. i'll have more on that coming up in a bit but for now over to you. all right, yeah a look at

your thursday morning commute. starting off with the bay bridge. traffic building up so far at the top of hour, yeah, no sign of any accidents there. but commuters definitely prepare for some heavy traffic as you work your way into the city. over to the altamont pass, as you can see from our map, live map there, tons of red and slow speeds along that route as well. heading over to the east bay near antioch and pittsburg, same situation. lot of people more than likely heading to work right now. so brace yourself. buckling up and expect some delays and slow speeds there. to the north bay, golden gate bridge, is running clear. no heavy traffic in that area coming into the city. all right, anne, thank you so much. well, let's talk about your morning headlines locally. shrinking school budgets and fewer students leading to painful decisions for bay area school districts and families this morning. so standing right here on the map in sonoma. santa rosa school board overtrust trees just voted to close three

elementary schools. however, trustees say they're not going to make a decision yet on the middle and high schools. we the do expect to learn a lot more today on this but parents and students at else see allen high school, that one at risk of closure, they vow to fight to try to save it. >> it's one of our only high schools in southwest santa rosa. so a lot of our kids are going to be impacted. >> all the high schools have a really special spot in sonoma county and santa rosa. they really should consider not closing any high schools at all i think. >> how painful are the cuts? a crowd of parents and teachers and students made appeals to trustees in a marathon six hour meeting last night. moving on the map now to solano county. similar theme despite outcite from parents vallejo school leaders moving ahead. mare island health and fitness academy, they will close. and vallejo charter school will move in instead. environmental science academy also closing. you know, just like many bay area school

systems, leaders blame huge budget shortfalls. so let's go deeper into other bay area district closures. blamed on money and declining enroll. the franklin mckinley and alum rock districts in san jose, sf unified and oakland unified all of them facing the same issues. today a san francisco supervisor's committee will vote on a resolution supporting birthright citizenship. this just hours after a federal judge in seattle blocked president trump's executive order ending the constitutional right that anybody born on u.s. soil is a u.s. citizen. so the battle over birthrightcitizenship has historic ties to the bay area. we own it. in 1898 a san franciscan sued when he was denied entry to the country when coming back from china. he went to the u.s. supreme court and became fundamental to the 14th amendment to the united states constitution. well, it has been almost a month since president donald trump took office and brought elon musk along with him.

musk's department of government efficiency or doge spent the last few weeks pressing ahead with the administration's push to overhaul the government. and that has led to some mass it cuts across the board and more are coming. federal workers from coast-to-coast held protests against musk and his involvement with doge. here in the bay area people demonstrated outside after a tesla dealership at the corner of van nuys and o'farrell in san francisco. cuts to the federal work force continue. the trump administration and doge have said that they are making the government more efficient. by stopping what they describe as wasteful spending. but protesting federal workers say that is not the case. >> trying to privatize the government and they're trying to stop americans, everyday americans, from getting the services they rely on. that me and my co-workers provide just so that billionaires can profit more. >> it's a crisis, it's completely dire. and we need to be getting into the streets and we need to be speaking out and we need to be pressuring musk

and his minions to stop this. >> roughly 80% of federal workers are based outside of washington, d.c. north bay wineries say federal layoffs could impact them as well. john ramos has more on the valuable research that could be going up in smoke. >> reporter: the 2017 wine country fires were just the beginning. every year thereafter, seemed to bring another huge wildfire somewhere in the state. sending smoke into the air for the wine grapes to soak up. >> 2020 is the year that took us down you know, we lost -- millions of dollars, just personally here at the winery. as the industry goes, we figure it's about a $3.7 billion hit to our industry. >> reporter: tom day sees president of the winery said they were not even sure how much the smoke could get into the finished product. they tried

correcting it but they were not taking any chances of ruining their reputation in the industry. >> we dumped millions of dollars of wine. >> reporter: so the wine makers went to their congressman mike thompson. >> we need research on this. you need to help us. so, you know, he went and he secured funds for us. you know, we asked him to do this. and now with the stroke of a pen, it gets taken away. >> reporter: that's because the trump administration, supposedly looking for fraud and waste, terminated the two scientists at uc davis hire today research the cause and effects of smoke exposure on the multibillion dollar wine industry. dr. aaron rambagh was one of them. >> that's how i started working with usda is because stakeholders wentz to congress and asked for research to be done and we were gain, momentum. how i'm feeling is -- that this is impacting stakeholders greatly. they went and they asked the federal government for assistance in an issue that they

were seeing dramatically impacting their crops. and two and a half years later, my position was removed. >> reporter: after earning dig tension for her research. the form letter she got terminating her delivered one parting shot. >> it said at the bottom that based on my demonstrated performance, my position in the agency was no longer of public interest. >> reporter: erin says she will soon be looking for a new job probably at a yurt or private city and she said she will not be considering working for the government anytime soon. >> makes absolutely no acceptable. they cut two jobs. and we lost $3.7 billion worth of wine and inventory and property due to a wildfire. wouldn't you want to have those two people researching there? >> reporter: those who have an interest in climate change know that wildfire and its impacts aren't going away and will continue to threaten the wine industry. for those who are not interested, it really doesn't matter. time right now is 6:10.

israel bringing home the bodies of four kidnapped by hamas, among them, children. a heart-breaking return of those hostages when we come back. plus, the east coast dealing with severe winter weather and we're going to take a look at the impact and when a change is in the forecast coming up next.

welcome back. this morning hamas released the remains of four israeli hostages three of them thought to be the bodies of a mother and her two children. one just 9 months old on october 7th. 2023. from here they will determine if the bodies belonged to her and her children. thousands of people looked on in gaza as mass militants delivered those coffins over at the red cross. president donald trump this morning roundly criticized by members of congress and world leaders for calling ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy a dictator. accused him of mismanaging u.s. aid to ukraine amid the country's ongoing war with russia. zelenskyy said trump lives in a russian disinformation space. all playing out think about this while u.s. envoys work with russia and ukraine to try to end

the war. you can by the way follow the cbs confirm team on social media. they did some fact checking on president trump's assertion of how much money the u.s. has given ukraine in recent years and their fight against the russia invasion. a good tool to have. cbs confirm. president trump says crime in washington, d.c. is so high the federal government should take over the city. he made the comments on air force one in the night. backing a republican idea for the federal government to just seize control of the city. out of the hands of local leaders. it's playing out while new numbers from police in the nation's capital show that crime there has dropped below pre-pandemic levels. people along the east coast, that's what they have and they are bracing for more of it. snow and bitter temperatures. in fact the winter storm system brought heavy snow to alabama, georgia, virginia and north carolina wednesday. officials telling drivers just stay off the roads all across that region. >> once again, making us feel so lucky to live in california. when you look at weather pretty

much anywhere else across the nation right now. it is a mess. it was a mess especially yesterday. now that eastern -- winter storm is starting to push offshore as we head into the afternoon hours today. the mid-atlantic will see a little bit of snow flurry leftover. but the bulk of it is coming to an end for them and they're still dealing with temperatures freezing though while we're over here getting a nice little warm-up. which i'm excited about. i mean we have 70s in the forecast this weekend. we have beautiful sunshine in the way for us just today alone. so let's actually dive into that forecast. we head outside today with beautiful conditions into this afternoon. we're talking about upper 60s into area like antioch and concord and santa rosa too. a beautiful day to get up there to wine country. in san francisco we're topping off in the mid 60s a little bit cooler for our friends along the coast this afternoon. with light winds moving in from offshore and daytime highs down into the santa clara valley slowly but surely creeping back up to the 70s as we head into the coming days. now it's a clear day for us today. with those winds gusting anywhere up to around 15 miles per hour along our shoreline as we head into our

3:00 hour. it dies down into the overnights hours tonight. but the other thing to mention too, we're seeing drier than normal conditions and this is right behind me is issued by the climate prediction center. not only drier than normal conditions but also temperatures just a little bit above average for this time of year. so not a drop of rain in sight for us as we head into the next seven days and then our temperature outlook all throughout the west coast is a little bit above normal for this time of year. how does that play out for us though? we start off over in our inland areas and we jump from the 60s to the 70s pretty quick. as early as this saturday and then we hold on tight to the exact same forecast as high pressure ridges its way in. that's going to keep us dry and warm next week which honestly not complaining too much. because it's a beautiful setup for us to get out there and get so much fresh air and outdoor activities are all a go as we head into the weekend. and heading into next week when we're all going back to work and school. we're seeing a similar trend. i mean, even along the bay. daly city, san francisco, across the bay bridge you see behind me over into oakland, we'll see 70s as early as mid next week. so it's going

to be a beautiful setup right around the corner. we have that cold front sweep throughout the bay area yesterday. leaving behind some cloudy skies and a little bit of drizzle. now we're in for a treat with a stretch of seven days that are going to be dry and warm for us. back over to you, anne. all right. yeah let's get another check on your traffic. because things are building up in several locations. starting off with a look at a commute that is pretty calm. this is the train station caltrain train station in san jose where commuters are making their way on board right now. everything appears to be on time there. but let's take a check of the roadways if you are driving a work. taking a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. really building up as you can see. so those drive times have been increasing and metering lights obviously on. if you are taking b.a.r.t. here is a heads-up. ten minute delay right now on the berryessa green line heading toward richmond. and daly city. because of some sort of equipment issue on the tracks.

so if you know somebody taking b.a.r.t. plan accordingly there. also taking a live look at the golden gate bridge. that is a bright spot in our commute. traffic both ways moving smoothly. right now at least. it is 18 minutes after 6:00. and we are shedding some light at a dark time in history. coming up next, our ryan yamamoto is taking us to a new exhibit in the bay showcasing some heart-breaking stories about what japanese americans su

father inside a jail at @ tow lee lake internment camp where nearly 19,000 of the 121,000 japanese americans taken from their homes were imprisoned during world war ii. >> i didn't know he was ever in the jail. >> reporter: a jail she had a chance to visit the side by side photos showing her standing and thinking inside her father's actual cell. >> just took some time to reflect on what it must have been like for him to be separated from his family. not knowing how long he's going to be gone or where he was going to be sent to. >> reporter: the image of sateski taken by pulitzer prize-winning photographer paul jr. whose project and research began after he discovered a photo of his own family taken in oakland before they were about to board a bus and sent to the internment camp in topaz, utah. >> my grandparents, my aunt, and my dad, he's 14, i just couldn't believe they were in this -- i mean i looked at my

barbed wire. it's just such a shameful part of american history. >> reporter: it is a part of history she has written about in a book documenting her family's journey and now travels the country speaking about the links of the japanese american experience to what is happening today with other immigrant groups. >> it's the same rationale that's being used today to do mass roundup and detention of asylum seekers and other immigrants. >> reporter: her goal to keep telling her story that all began 83 years ago with the signing after on executive order. now with the hopes that history does not repeat itself. >> i just have to brag about ryan yamamoto. his reporting in this space is epic and you can go to our website and see a whole series of reports that capture the history here and especially the bay area history in photographs from several different answerfuls. his work is amazing and it's a part of history and should look it up. >> certainly important. always

>> i put that on your car too. a great day to get out there and that also includes a car wash for reed and i and for anyone at home who's thinking the exact same thing. now throughout the next seven days we are drying up and we are warming up. so you take a look around me, these daytime highs are already pretty nice. i mean, upper 60s in santa rosa and novato. low 60s into san francisco and redwood city. but we're right back up to the upper 60s down into the santa clara valley. now as we head into this week there's going to be little day-to-day changes in the forecast for us. this morning, alone we're starting off with a light winds pushing a little offshore. that changes directions as we head in the afternoon hours a little bit more of the on shore breeze with gusts anywhere up to around 15 miles per hour. nothing crazy. it will be a nice beautiful sunny day for us today. and drier than normal too as we extend into the rest of this week and heading into early next week as well. now this is issued by the climate prediction center so what does that mean for us? through the n seven days dry conditions but the climate prediction center also puts out

a temperature outlook. we're seeing above normal temperatures for not only us here locally, but all throughout california and the west coast. so just to tease aid a little bit you look at the forecast into next week, it's beautiful. but it's also spring-like. this is our inland areas to the east bay, the santa clara valley, our friends up into wine country, we're going to see 70s day-by-day as we head into next week with sunny conditions. so this is the time to take advantage of this beautiful weather and of course go get a car wash and speaking of cars, want to send it over to you, anne. let's take a look at your traffic this thursday morning. yeah. kicking things off right now with a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. where you can see things are moving very slowly. bumper-to-bumper traffic for people working their way over to san francisco this morning. also a slow go coming out of tracy. and on to the altamont pass. no surprise there. if you are taking b.a.r.t., you can expect a ten minute delay right now on the berryessa green line that's heading toward richmond and daly city. there's apparently some

u.s. general administration services and so far we have not heard back but we'll stay on that story. san francisco's iconic presidio landmark is now in the crosshairs of cuts also by the trump administration. president trump issuing an executive order to eliminate the federal agency created in 1996 that manages that historic park that once served as a proud military post here in the bay area. trump's executive order says the trust is unnecessary. the order gives managers two weeks to submit a report confirming compliance. that trust sent us a statement asserting its compliance with the federal law and emphasizing they will continue operations as usual despite the executive order. but think about this. by the way, the trust is a pride point for trump's political enemy speaker emerita nancy pelosi whose name is also one-on-one of the federal buildings they want to sell off. she helped establish the trust. today she and san francisco to join local community leaders for a round table discussion of how the republican budget plan will impact bay area children and families. we'll be there and we'll try to ask her about the

selloff of the federal building and also the executive order to end that trust in the presidio. in the south bay, pg&e crews in san jose say moving power lines underground will mitigate wildfire. they are removing more than a mile of those overheadlines as part of that mission. the utility says this will eliminate safety related outages for about 9,000 customers in the valley and sant teresa communities. now this. ♪ we are your community station and we are always proud to see and celebrate black history month. >> and this morning, we are highlighting the life of reverend amos brown. he fought for equality alongside dr. martin luther king jr. and our veronica macias had a sitzdown interview with the civil rights icon and she is joining us now. he is such adynamic person. >> reporter: the moment you meet him. takes over. >> yeah. you know. >> reporter: you would think

>> i broke down segregation at white first baptist church in atlanta, georgia. now that's the largest white southern baptist chunk in the southeast region. and remember, the southern baptist convention was founded in 1845 over the issue of slavery. and even when the supreme court decision was rendered, outlawing segregation in public education, who fought it? for 10 to 15 years. southern baptists. >> reporter: re rends brown has served as the pastor of san francisco's oldest african american church since 1976. and as the president of the naacp in san francisco and a former city supervisor he's become an icon for social justice. >> i led the first school board cut in 1978 because of

what martin luther king jr. really wanted. he has achieved it. >> reporter: church on mccallister is like a home when reverend brown isn't with the congregation, you will likely find him in his office where the walls tell a story of his civil rights act victim. showing pivotal moments in time like his arrest in 1961 for a lunch counter sit-in along with dr. king. >> this is john lewis up here. still the nation. that does not live out equality and opportunity for all people. >> reporter: despite the advancements for the african american community, the current dissolvement of diversity, equity and inclusion programs worries him not only for black americans, but for all races. >> see people of different races, different countries, coming together. learning from

morning to talk about it is san francisco sheriff paul miyamoto. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> what do know about this bizarre incident? the people involved, the investigation? >> we have individuals coming into city hall and people -- recognizing what they're wearing and being concerned about this interactions that they have with them. these individuals were wearing an actual t-shirt that said doge coin and didn't identify themselves as a federal employee. however, because of the concerns that our community has right tow about our interactions with the federal government, brought it to our attention. and we put an alert out in the building. we let people know what they looked like and who they are. and what they were doing and we've asked everybody to just let us know as soon as something like that happens again. >> right, so any -- concerns that these people are are connected some other larger group? >> the individuals asked for unless and they were handing off flash drives to ask people to put them into their computers. the city government employees

were very cautious about that. so they didn't comply with any of the demands and the individuals came in and out of the building fairly quickly. so we're just aware of it and aware of the behavior and making sure people know that it's not part of government. that it's something that they should get in touch with us immediately if anything like that happens and we want to reassure everybody that we still abide by sanctuary city ordinance and we still abide by all of the different things that we do here in san francisco. >> well, before we roll the video for our next topic i have to ask you about the sanctuary city status, we saw you on the steps with mayor daniel lurie and talking about that. do you see san francisco really having to go toe to toe with the feds and especially donald trump and his administration? on issues like immigration. is that what we're really headed for in the city? >> i believe we're already there with the litigation that's been placed out. the work with the city attorney and the many things that make us who we are. have also made us a target in terms of some political focus on the immigration issue. i want to reassure the public right now that we don't enforce

immigration laws with the federal government. there are exemptions to our sanctuary city ordinance. very specific. very tight exemptions where we can interact and notify them if we're releasing somebody that's a serious or dangerous or violent felon. back into the community for their opportunity to come pick them up. >> okay. but what you are saying basically is none of your policies have changed because of everything that's going on. >> absolutely right. >> okay. all right. let's -- get local again. talking about 6th street. infamous corridor and really out of a movie half the time. a lot of drugged out people. property crime. i know that mayor daniel lurie has made id a point to start a crackdown on some of the illegal activity there. where are we at? >> we're absolutely involved in that. every day our people are out this. we work with the police department and department of health and a lot of different perhapses and we're very, very involved if making sure that people actually -- feel safer out there. and i think that this

combined effort this collaborative effort we've transferred over if the tenderloin from the different hotspots in the city where we have a fentanyl problem, we have a drug problem and we have people out on the streets this combined effort with all the city agencies really paid off and shown results. now the hard part is going to be the keep it up. especially with the budget coming up and concerns over public safety. we appreciate the support for mayor lurie in our efforts and we hope to continue them on indefinitely. >> show up to meetings. right? the public needs to show up to meetings when there are public meetings. sound off. >> absolutely. >> say what kind of city you want. last question. it's an important question. we always ask the sheriff. what did you have for wreck past this morning? >> today, i had a cup of coffee and i'm getting ready to have breakfast after this segment. >> you have some aunts i'mgoing the call them. shake their finger at you. >> we appreciate it. taking a live look outside this morning. it is a gorgeous day as the sun rises over the bay. let's get a check on our weather right now with jessica burch. you can finally sort of relax, jessica, after a few

crazy weeks. right? >> my goodness gracious, we had atmospheric rivers just the past few weeks. this week -- >> no big deal. >> are you kidding me? [ laughter ] >> he is. >> and then on top of that yesterday's little cold front swept throughout the bay area. bringing in just some light drizzle through the to midday forecast. but now we're in far treat. we warm up and we dry up in the next couple of days so let's start off with the map and show you kind of where we're heading this afternoon. we're expecting mid- to upper 60s in the forecast in areas like oakland and concord and san francisco. actually over into antioch, san francisco today topping off in the mid- to low 60s there. that will be the case along the coastline with a little bit breezier conditions along our shore today. all the way down into the santa clara valley. we're already getting close to the 70s and right around thecorner we'll actually hit the 70s and then hold on tight to the same forecast as high pressure continues to move in from offshore keeping the storm track just to the north of us. so with high pressure it's going to do a couple of things. we dry up in the next six to ten days all throughout the state of california. and specifically here in the bay. so not a drop of rain in sight as we head into

in next couple of days but another thing that it does for us, it also warms us up too. at least right now. as we take a look at the characteristics of the system. we're going to be dealing with warmer than normal temperatures. so what does that look like for us in the next seven days? pretty much what i just said. upper 60s for now as it builds its way closer to us and 70s as soon as saturday for our inland areas and then we'll continue to see sunny skies and 70s into next week's forecast. which is just amazing news for anyone who wants to get out there and get some fresh air and do any outdoor activities in the local communities or a new one to do. in the bay, cooler conditions. mid 60s now and actually see upper 60s in the forecast as soon as tomorrow. and then warm up into the 70s by mid next week. back to you. all right. sounds good. taking a quick check at your weather -- i mean, at your traffic this morning. if you are heading out the door, a few delays with b.a.r.t.. delay of up to 18 minutes right now on the oakland airport line because of some scheduled track maintenance. ac transit stepping in offering bus service between
