we have the details of its goal to connect people having a mental health crisis to the care they desperately need. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it's wednesday january 15th. it's been an unusually nice and sunny for january. steve's been talking about this a little too nice. yeah i mean, you know, you hate to enjoy it when we know we need rain. >> we get about five months to get rain, and that's it. yeah. and if you get don't get any rain in one month, then you're really banking on a couple others. so we're going to have to bank on february and march because january does not look promising at all. i mean, there's nothing really out to about the 30th unless something zigs instead of zags. so we're 12 days from the last rain, and that was a carryover from december. and temperatures 30s, 40s, not as cold as yesterday, but there's still plenty of low

30s mid 30s. menlo park is 33 degrees. santa rosa 34. still an offshore component. it's not that strong, but there's a slight breeze. so it's a dry pattern. it's a cold mornings and mild afternoons. temperatures in the 60s. it does look colder end of the week, but today should be okay 62 to 66. all right. sal is here 5:00. and we are. >> we're okay. i don't i don't see a lot going on, which is just the way we like it. we'd like it to be nice and quiet. let's go right to the bay bridge. i want to show you that traffic is looking very good. as you drive across into san francisco. there are no major problems there. and also traffic continues to look very good. if you're driving approaching the bridge on 80 or 5, 80 or 24. we look at the east bay commute and we're off to a very nice start on highway four, interstate 680, and interstate 80. it's 501. let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. well, three men are due in court today. they are accused of being involved in a

deadly freeway shooting in 2023 that killed a five year old girl, five year old eliana crisostomo was shot and killed as she rode in her family's car on interstate 880, in fremont. three men were arrested. they were charged with murder when former alameda county district attorney pamela price announced charges last year. she didn't include special circumstances in the charges. a legal expert told ktvu that without the special circumstances, the suspects in the killing, if they are convicted, could be eligible for parole in the future. >> there are some crimes that you can rehabilitate the criminals, but there's no coming back from killing a child. i hope they get life without the possibility of parole. that's what's deserved. why gamble with the future of other children's lives? >> now, the interim alameda county district attorney hasn't said if he will add special circumstance charges. today, a

judge will start hearing evidence to determine if the case will go to trial. >> powerful winds are hitting parts of southern california again this morning as crews continue fighting those multiple fires. 25 people are now confirmed dead. as for containment, the palisades fire is now 18% contained. it has burned more than 23,000 acres in altadena. the eaton fire is 35% contained and has burned more than 14,000 acres. investigators are now searching for answers to what set off these massive fires. multiple lawsuits have been filed against the utility company southern california edison. now, those lawsuits claim the utility's equipment sparked the eaton fire near pasadena. edison acknowledged it's investigating the claim. investigative teams are also examining the site of a brush fire that started on new year's eve. neighbors say that fire burned near the origin of the palisades fire, indicating it

may have been smoldering for days. >> they are combing through the debris, looking at burn patterns, talking to witnesses. that is a week apart, so that's a long time to have any embers smoldering. however, you did have some significant wind that could blow on anything that's there. >> a team from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives is leading the investigation. the teams say it could take months to determine the cause of all the fires. >> well, a candlelight vigil was held in los angeles honoring the victims of the wildfires. community members came together paying their respects to the fire victims. also showing appreciation for the first responders. several community groups organized a vigil, calling it a gesture of solidarity. >> it's important that we all come together, and what tonight is about here in south los angeles is that there are no borders. we are here in solidarity for our communities

across this city. >> now, the fire victims are facing a long and very challenging road to recovery. there's a new study released by accuweather saying it will cost more than $250 billion to rebuild. well, the white house says the federal government will pay most of the recovery costs for six months. and after that, president biden wants congress to approve funding for the help that's needed. however, political challenges on capitol hill are expected as many republicans, including house speaker mike johnson, say that any federal aid should come with conditions. democrats say that's outrageous. >> we should not be leveraging the pain and suffering of our fellow americans to try to force through policy changes. no one wants to leave any american who is in need. hanging, so to speak. right? but at the same time, we recognize we have a $36 trillion federal debt, and we have to balance these needs. >> now, republicans want

financial conditions related to fire prevention and management. last month, congress approved $100 billion in emergency aid for wildfires and other disasters. >> alameda is taking the next steps to give new life to a historic building. ktvu sally rasmus spoke to people about building 92 and what they'd like to see at the site. she joins us now live from alameda this morning. good morning ali. >> good morning. yes, this is the building here behind us. it doesn't look that exciting and impressive at this hour, but it is a historic building. going back to when all of this land here was part of an active naval air station here at alameda point. this building for sale, about 90,000ft!s. and it is for sale. the city of alameda would like to know what developers and prospective buyers would do with this property, and how they would repurpose and reuse it. it's located at alameda point on west ranger avenue, next to the popular almanac beer company. it

used to house the alameda food bank, but that organization was able to move into a new place right across the street. starting this week, the city of alameda will start taking proposals from developers who want to buy this and turn it into something new. the city council gets to approve the sale based on those proposals, and the priority is something that will provide jobs and add to the developing sense of community in this new neighborhood. >> we are making sure that this part of the city is kind of incorporated into the larger fabric of the city of alameda. we are really just trying to make a vibrant place for people to quite honestly, live, work, play and visit. >> now these are some pictures of the inside. this comes from the real estate office website representing this property. the asking price has not been disclosed, but other former naval base buildings have sold in the millions in the past decade. building 91 next door, for example, which houses almanac beer company, was bought

in 2017 for 2.8 million. now, since this is a historic building, the developer would have to abide by certain guidelines. the building would have to be some sort of business, not housing. and as for the timeline on when this could become something new? well, the city of alameda will continue to accept some of those proposals until april and then by the summer or early fall, city council could make a decision on what should be built here next. live in alameda. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you ali. well, san francisco mayor daniel lurie has introduced an ordinance to the board of supervisors to take on the city's fentanyl crisis. he outlined the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance. it would expedite funding for additional hiring of public safety and health staff. the plan would also add shelters, expand treatment and implement new mental health initiatives. mayor lurie says this will allow the city to bypass bureaucratic obstacles that have prevented progress in ending the fentanyl crisis. >> our time now 508. a new

crisis response team being launched today by the city of san leandro. the alternative response team will connect people having a nonviolent mental health crisis to care, beginning when someone calls 911. this new team is a partnership between the alameda county fire department and a nonprofit group that's based in oakland. the san leandro city manager says the crisis response unit reflects our commitment to compassionate, innovative approaches to public safety. >> well, maybe not as cold as yesterday morning, but it's darn close here. there are many that are around 3233. we'll take a look at some now. lima valley and marin county is 32. petaluma, san martin, walnut creek, felton all 32. saratoga, woodside 33, and danville, san ramon 34. lafayette's in there as well. back to back days with a low. record low in san francisco was 29 degrees january 14th and 15th in 1888. not the coldest 27. december 11th, 1932.

the coldest. most rain on this date 1.94 and 1878. long time ago. speaking of rain, where is it? we can't find any. we are now 12 days without any rain. and i don't see any. it's just more of the same. there's nothing this week, and probably not even next week. so it looks like we did pick up a 0.01 on the six. so officially it's 19/100 for the month. that would make this the third driest. i don't think that's changing anytime soon. at least we won't be the driest or second driest. everything is still a slight off shore direction. not that strong, but it's there north or east. so with that east breeze, 30s and 40s on the temps, i think we'll get a little cooler here before everything starts to bounce off. there's lafayette's 32, walnut creek 34, another 132 alamos in there. dublin's in there. union city pinole. martinez. so it's another cold one. 16 and 18. truckee south lake tahoe. reno's at 23. the high to the north. the low to the south. and that's just a this pattern is just on hold here. i don't think anything's really changed. it does look a

little cooler to colder as we get some systems digging into nevada. as we head towards the weekend and early next week. same old song and dance though sunny side up once we get going. and temperatures end up in the 60s after lows in the 30s and 40s. >> thank you steve. president biden is giving his last speech as president. tonight we have a look at the senate confirmation hearings as we prepare for the trump administration. >> and first lady jill biden is in san francisco. we'll tell you how she's praising investments in women's health by the federal

13. three men due in court today. they are accused of being involved in a deadly freeway shooting in 2023 that killed a five year old girl. she was shot and killed as she rode in a car with her family on interstate 880, in fremont. this will be one of the first high profile cases at the alameda county district attorney's office has handled since the recall of former da pamela price. >> we're keeping a close eye on the fires in southern california this morning. fire officials say strong winds have returned today, posing elevated fire risks again. the palisades fire, currently 18% contained. the eaton fire is 35% contained but has burned more than 14,000 acres. >> the long delayed sale of the

oakland coliseum is a step closer to being finalized. the alameda county board of supervisors approved the terms of the agreement for selling the county's 50% interest in the coliseum complex. this follows the agreement by the a's and the city of oakland to sell their shares of the coliseum to the african american sports and entertainment group. the sale is expected to be completed by june 30th. well, tonight, president biden is scheduled to deliver his final address to the nation just days before donald trump returns to the white house. defense secretary nominee pete hegseth was questioned by the senate armed services committee ahead of a confirmation hearing. hegseth gained a hold a hold out vote. republican iowa senator joni ernst, and is now expected to have enough support to be confirmed. the confirmation hearings are scheduled today for florida senator marco rubio for secretary of state and pam bondi

for attorney general. >> my assumption is at least that on some of these key national security positions, that we would have a level of cooperation that would enable us to get some of those positions filled quickly. >> in the meantime, president biden is preparing to deliver his final oval office speech. he released a letter to the nation this morning. it said in part, i ran for president because i believe that the soul of america was at stake. that very nation nature of who we are was at stake. and that is still the case. president biden will address the nation tonight at 5 p.m. >> first lady jill biden is spending her final days in office right here in the bay area advocating for women's health. the first lady spoke at the health care conference that coincides with the j.p. morgan healthcare conference in san francisco. she advocated for research into women's health issues, saying the topic has been neglected by researchers for years. >> globally, women live longer than men, yet we spend 25% more

of our lives in poor health. and that's because women's health is understudied and research is underfunded. >> the first lady called for more research to determine how heart disease impacts women specifically, and to gain a deeper understanding of menopause and treatment. doctor biden says she plans to continue to use her platform to push for more research into women's health. >> our time now. 516. california newborn babies could be coming home from the hospital with free diapers. if an initiative in the governor's budget plan is passed. the diaper initiative would set aside $7 million in this year's budget. it would also set aside 13 million the following year to provide a three month supply of diapers to families of new babies, regardless of their income. california's diaper banks lost out on extra funding in 2023,

after governor newsom vetoed a bill to expand the state's distribution of diapers and baby wipes. >> new research says people are spending more time at home. the study from clemson university, found more people are embracing the homebody lifestyle that started during the pandemic. since 2019, activities outside the house are down by about an hour a day. besides, some employees continue to work from home. the study found people are spending less time socializing. >> maybe we need less shopping, which people are doing less of. maybe we need fewer restaurants. it's a real challenge for commercial real estate. some municipal areas are getting hit really bad with office vacancy in their downtowns having a lot of trouble recovering. >> the behavior is causing concern for retailers nationwide, including here in the bay area. researchers are proposing possible changes to future infrastructure projects to accommodate the trend. >> our time now 518. well, after

a successful launch, two robotic landers and a small rover are now headed to the moon. firefly aerospace, based in texas, is sending its lunar lander lunar landers to collect information with nasa instruments, and the japanese based ispace is sending a lander in its second attempt to reach the moon. the lander is set to carry out several experiments. >> all right. 518 is the time. clear skies to see that beautiful moon over the past few days. i think that's going to continue. yes. >> the clear. there's nothing to obscure it, that's for sure. we do have another round of cold lows for you. pass me a cold one here this morning, because there's a lot of 30s. olema valley, petaluma, san martin, walnut creek, felton, saratoga, woodside and danville, all between 32 and 34. we had a few upper 20s yesterday. haven't seen that yet. doesn't mean it won't happen. we still have another hour or two before we can bottom out on these lows, but it's cold enough. no frost

advisory though. yeah, i don't make the call, but there is nothing for us. it's still an offshore direction. there you go, east or northeast, and that's probably not going to change anytime soon. so cold mornings 33 santa rosa. now napa airport, 36 fairfield. martinez, 37 walnut creek. down to 31 hayward and fremont. 37 menlo park, now 34 half moon bay is in there. take your pick. livermore 35. although livermore yesterday was 31 on the peninsula, a los altos, palo alto, stanford, menlo park, redwood city, san carlos, foster city, belmont and pacifica all in the upper 30s. 19 in reno, truckee, 1614, in minden, minden and south lake tahoe at 18 cold degrees, high pressure to the north. low pressure is retrograded offshore, there's still an offshore breeze. in southern california, we have a slight one. they have a little bit stronger. one cold morning, i should actually say cold mornings, mild afternoons, at least until the end of the week. then it does look colder as we

get these systems digging into nevada. we're too far to the west, but we'll get some cooler air coming in. same old song and dance though. 60s on the temps. after today, i don't think. i think we're going to top it out because it does look cooler as we go into the weekend. >> all right steve, thank you. time is 520. tiktok could be banned in the united states very soon. we'll tell you about the new app that some users are hoping can be a good replacement. and macy's announced the stores that they plan to close this year. the local stores are lready

without the possibility of parole, rather with the possibility of parole. now, elian's mother told ktvu, that's not the kind of justice that she would find sufficient, and she's hoping that the next leadership in the district attorney's office would change that. >> there are some crimes that you can rehabilitate the criminals, but there's no coming back from killing a child. my daughter deserves justice, and i won't stop until she receives it. that's my job as a mother. i won't, i won't give up. >> humberto anaya, crystal valderrama and emanuel serrano are each charged with murder in this case. a judge will determine if and how the case will proceed to trial. that hearing this morning is set to start at 830 at the county courthouse here in dublin. we'll let you know what happens. we're live this morning in dublin. i'm

completion, you see how all the points of sequence had to work. >> now, last night's approval should mean that within 30 days, days, a deal could be signed solution that the county board of supervisors unanimously approved is a public signal and direction to county staff to move forward and make this assignment so that a single entity can control that coliseum site and then move forward with the development project that is envisioned, a transformative project for not only oakland, but for the region. now, there are still some steps that need to be complete even after the county portion is done. but if all goes smoothly, the entire transaction could be completed by the end of may. that would mean a final payment of $95 million to the city of oakland, and redevelopment could then get underway at that coliseum site. >> our time now 5.38 will next week. baseball hall of famer and lifetime animal advocate tony

29 is the second coldest going back to january 14th and 15th in 1888, but 27 on december 11th, 1932 is officially the coldest temp. also snowed on that day. we are in a not so good territory here though. this is currently the third driest january on record for the city going back to 1849 1850. the driest was ten years ago. 11 years ago was the second driest and now we're in the third driest. that's not good. it's all or nothing. now in january, either we're getting about ten inches of rain or nothing. lots of high pressure and offshore breeze. and you know what that means. temperatures 30s 40s on the temps. we'll end up with 60s 30 in boulder creek. felton 31, hollister 32, 33, in campbell, even santa cruz, soquel and aptos in the 30s. so starting off cold, 17, prescott 37, las vegas 14 and 18, truckee and south lake tahoe. and there's just not a lot to tell you, except we'll end up with 60s on the highs, and this pattern

5:00 this evening. next monday, president biden will fly out of washington, d.c. at noon, marking the end of his more than 50 year career in politics. san francisco mayor daniel lurie introduced an ordinance to deal with the fentanyl drug crisis. it would speed up funding for additional hiring of public safety as well as health staff. the plan would also add shelters, expand treatment and also put in place new mental health initiatives. >> an investigation into a shooting at a religious school in butte county last month shows the gunman used a modified weapon known as a ghost gun. the man opened fire at feather river adventist school, critically injuring two kindergartners. he then took his own life. authorities say he purchased the gun illegally in arizona. it didn't have a serial number and consisted of parts from different guns. in one of the final moves of president joe biden, the presidency, the u.s.

is going to remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. the administration says the deal is a strategic move to free political prisoners. it reached an agreement for the cuban government to release prisoners deemed unjustly detained by the end of the president's term. about 550 prisoners are expected to be released. that deal is a direct reversal of a decision, then president donald trump to designate cuba a state sponsor of terrorism, in january 2021. >> time is now 545. a bill was just passed by the house of representatives that would change the title nine rules, and transgender athletes would be banned from women's sports at many schools. the rule applies to colleges, universities and k through 12 schools that get federal funding. the bill passed in the house with two democrats voting with the republicans. title nine is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education programs. critics say the new legislation is part of

an anti-transgender agenda. but supporters of the bill say the integrity of women's sports is being protected. >> it was created to protect women, and so we need to make sure we stay on that track. >> for some reason, you know, people think that trans women and intersex people have an advantage in sport when in actual fact there is no evidence for that. >> now, the president of the ncaa says transgender athletes make up less than 1% of ncaa athletes in all sports. this is not law yet. the republican majority in the u.s. senate has to pass it first. >> a big change is coming for fire protection in southern santa clara county. supervisors have unanimously voted to end a contract with cal fire and instead put fire services directly under county control. right now, people living outside the main cities of gilroy and morgan hill belong to the south.

santa clara county fire district, which is marked in green on the map and had been has been serviced by cal fire since 1980. the union representing cal fire crews say more than 30 employees can now lose their jobs. >> i'm absolutely opposed to the idea that 30 plus firefighters who have served our community with courage, distinction and distinction could be replaced by an annexation idea that is confusing, dangerous, expensive, expensive and reduces community protection. >> county leaders say budget constraints at the state level have resulted in a lower level of service. supervisors add the south county fire district can't afford its contract, and has relied on the county to fill the gap. >> what is at stake here is the viability. can can they continue to provide the services that they they committed to? and what we have seen is that no county leaders also see the situation

as an equity issue. >> they want all county residents to receive the same level of emergency response. >> time now 548. a lot of cities are cutting fire department budgets, but at least one bay area city recently added new equipment and personnel. the fremont fire chief, zuraida diaz, brought a new fire truck into service. now, it took almost 20 years of planning, but the department worked with the city to get extra funding for staffing. diaz says the fire truck costs about $2 million. >> it's a pretty expensive piece of equipment. the city granted us another million and a half to recruit and hire to support opening up the 14th company. nine personnel. >> we have to make bigger investments to prevent against the next natural disaster. >> congressman eric swalwell was there at the fire ceremony in fremont. he says he introduced a

bill that will increase the amount of money that fema has to put into preventative measures. >> all right. 549 is the time. back over to sal. keeping an eye on the commute. middle of the week. how does it look, sal? >> yeah, it doesn't look bad so far. pam and dave, i've been looking at a couple of these commutes, and i will let you know when things start getting busier. but highway four is getting a little busier now. you can see it here in our picture as you see the traffic heading over to concord. you can also see it here as you see the map beginning a little bit more red in that area where we just showed you. but 680 looks good all the way to san ramon. some slowing at the altamont pass. 880 and 680 heading south are still good. so if you can, you should go. now, metering lights have come on, and there's a little bit of a backup starting to form at the toll plaza. 550. what about today's weather? let's bring steve back in. >> i think you know it, sal. yes. >> it's going to be nice. >> same same same same same same

same same. but different. not really. santa rosa 32. walnut creek 31. menlo park 34. mountain view 35. livermore 35. brentwood 36. fairfield 37 half moon bay. one observation over there as well. we'll head north. point reyes is 50, but point reyes station is 33. big difference there. novato fairfax in there as well. sonoma. napa. petaluma. occidental. sebastopol. windsor. healdsburg. cloverdale, of course. upper lake and middletown, all in the 30s. there we were colder yesterday morning, though. 19 in reno. carson city says, hey, so are we. 14 in truckee, 12 minden and south lake tahoe at 18. it is, you know, january. now it seems like it's either all or nothing. and right now it's nothing. if you're looking for rain, there's just no sign of anything. so cold mornings, dry pattern for the foreseeable future. i don't see anything. cold morning, mild afternoon. and same old song and dance. clear cold morning. lots of 30s. sunny side up. mild, mild afternoon. there is an easterly

breeze. 60s on the temps here a few mid 60s. does look like a lot of systems that will be digging into the west of us. that should usher in some cooler temps by the weekend. >> thank you steve. >> the number of suspects fleeing from oakland police has jumped 230%. the changes. oakland is now considering two police pursuits. >> also, more outrage in san francisco as people gathered outside of a safeway store that's expected to close in a few weeks. we'll tell you what the neighbors there are demand g (vo) with fargo, your virtual assistant from wells fargo, you can access your fico® score in a snap.

on two. guess what? it's national bagel day, and to celebrate, there are some special deals. panera is running a bagel bash promotion until january 21st. customers can get an asiago bagel sandwich for $8. nice cheesy bagel, right? according to national geographic, bagels date back to the 13th century, but it wasn't until the 19th century that bagels made their way to the united states. >> all right, pam. in just two months from now, it will be baseball's opening day. but, giants fans, you can start marking your calendars now. the san francisco giants released their promotional and special event schedule for the coming season. some of the highlights include pride day on june 7th. it will be accompanied by a pride day bucket hat on july

12th. the giants will have their first barry bonds bobblehead in four seasons, and on july 26th, stephen curry superhero night will take over oracle park, complete with a steph curry bobblehead. >> fun. yeah. well, the countdown is on for nba all star weekend. the big event is returning to the bay area for the first time in 25 years. all star weekend kicks off in one month at san francisco's chase center, and the all star selection process is well underway. the 2025 nba all stars are voted on by fans, current players, and a media panel. coaches select the backups. the game is already sold out. tickets start at $1,400 in the resale market. i'm sure that's for pretty high up too. here is just a few of the many events happening throughout the weekend. friday is the celebrity all star game. saturday, you can catch the all stars on the court at an open practice at the oakland arena. that is also a ticketed event. then on sunday,

it will be the 74th annual nba all star game. >> bravo! the time is 556. san francisco now has a $15 million grant to help meet the growing demand for ev charging in the city. the funding was awarded by the department of transportation. it will be used to install 270 level two chargers and 30 fast chargers in neighborhoods that include the civic center, chinatown, and the mission, and even more. the chargers will be built with future expansion in mind, helping to inch the city closer to a goal of achieving 100% emission free transportation by the year 2040. >> a $20 million donation will help bay area students attend private schools. the basic fund provides scholarships for pre-k through eighth grade students based on need. the gift will allow it to support nearly 2000 additional students. the nonprofit organization currently provides scholarships to more

than 3200 students. it says more than 98% of their low income scholars graduate from high school. >> time now, 557 people in san francisco's fillmore district are pressuring city leaders to do something ahead of the closure of the only full service grocery store in that neighborhood. advocates met outside of the safeway store in the fillmore before they marched to city hall. now, safeway says it will close that store on webster and geary by february 7th. after 40 years of being there. the safeway said it made the decision because of continuing theft and concerns about employee and customer safety. families say the closures will make things really hard for people who simply need a convenient place to buy groceries. >> i have to, like, go to a further safeway and we won't. we wouldn't be able to walk there no more. >> well, the group called on the board of supervisors to deal

with that closure with a special hearing. the residents hope to see another grocery store replace that safeway. well, walgreens is closing two more of its locations in oakland. the store on east 18th street by lake merritt and the one on telegraph by children's hospital. they will be closing by the end of next month. that's in addition to the walgreens on high street in east oakland, which is closing this month. last month, walgreens announced plans to close 1200 of its stores around the country over the next several years. >> the marin county board of supervisors is making some history. [applause] brian colbert was sworn in as the first african american member of the board since it was founded 173 years ago. his daughter was there as he took the oath of office. colbert is an attorney, a former san anselmo town council member. he now represents district two,

which includes san anselmo, green bay, and ross, among some other communities. >> well, she was riding in her family's car in fremont when someone on the freeway opened fire and they killed the little girl. today, the loved ones of this five year old are seeking justice. >> plus, they're combing through the debris, looking at burn patterns, talking to witnesses. >> it's been a full week now since the start of those fires down in los angeles county. the continuing search for what sparked these deadly fires as firefighters are dealing with extremely critical conditions. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it's wednesday january 15th. let's head right over to steve paulson. i think the weather pattern is pretty steady right now. >> stuck steady. whatever you want to say. it's not in our favor for rain. everything will be east. arctic air will be

plunging in over the weekend. we may be on the western edge of some of that, so our temps will probably start to come down by the weekend. but as far as rain goes, we can't find any. it was 12 days ago on the third when we had 18/100 in san francisco, and there's nothing showing up for at least 7 to 10 days and maybe two weeks. the next hint of anything really is until the end of the month, and that looks iffy. they're not in sync on that. it's too far outside the forecast window. a lot of 30s and 40s on the temps here. maybe not as cold as yesterday, but still cold enough. the high to the north, that low retrograded west. that's still giving an offshore breeze for many, and even some wind in parts of southern california. no doubt cold mornings and mild afternoons will take us into the end of the week. then it does look colder. highs today will be in the 60s. i think after today we'll start a slow trend downward though. all right sal, here we were looking at the bay bridge toll plaza at 601. we are going where? >> back to that because it's getting more crowded. steve, at the toll plaza. as you can see, it's getting more crowded by the moment here. as you drive into

san francisco. the metering lights came on at about 550 or so, and now we have a little bit more of a crowd. what we don't have is a lot of incidents and that's good. we don't have a lot of crashes or stalled vehicles or that kind of thing. we do have some slowing appearing on highway four, but the rest of the east bay still looks pretty good. 601 let's get back to the headlines. all right. >> thank you. well, three men are due in court today. they're accused of being involved in a deadly freeway shooting in 2023 that killed a five year old girl, five year old eliana crisostomo was shot and killed while riding in her family's car on interstate 880, in fremont. three men were arrested. they were charged with murder last year when former alameda county district attorney pamela price announced charges she didn't include special circumstances in the charges. a legal expert told ktvu that without the special circumstances, the suspects in the killing, if they are convicted, could be eligible for

parole in the future. >> there are some crimes that you can rehabilitate the criminals, but there's no coming back from killing a child. i hope they get life without the possibility of parole. that's what's deserved. why gamble with the future of other children's lives? >> now, the interim alameda county district attorney hasn't said if he will add special circumstance charges today. a judge will start hearing evidence to determine if the case will go to trial. >> well, today, oakland police chief floyd mitchell will present proposed changes to the city's pursuit policy. the proposed changes are in response to governor gavin newsom's declaration that oakland needs to loosen its policy on police pursuits. currently, oakland police are only allowed to pursue a suspect if there is suspicion of a violent forcible crime or if that person is believed to have a gun. we don't know the changes that will be proposed, but chief mitchell

will present them in front of the oakland police commission tonight at the sixth at 630. during a town hall meeting. well, firefighters are facing another day of dangerous, windy conditions as they work to maintain their progress in the deadly palisades and eaton wildfires. >> and a red flag warnings in effect today. through this afternoon, conditions are expected to be perfect for an explosive fire growth. ktvu is andre senior is in the studio now with the latest on that fight against those wildfires. >> it's a shame too, because they've been able to hold the palisades fire, a slight containment there. the eaton fire a little bit better. but now we have this weather situation to worry about here. the palisades fire has burned nearly 24,000 acres since it started last tuesday. so far, it's only 18% contained, up from 17% yesterday. firefighters continue to gain containment on the eaton fire. it has burned a total of 14,000 acres and is now 45% contained. that is up 10% from last night. firefighters hope to maintain those numbers

as the national weather service issues a rare, dangerous fire warning for areas in l.a. and ventura counties. gusty winds paired with low humidity and dry fuel are threatening to fan new flames or undo the progress made on the palisades and eaton fires. >> life threatening and destructive and widespread winds are already here for this significant wind event. we are taking an aggressive, lean forward posture. >> engines are staging in high risk areas, and power has been preemptively been shut off to thousands of customers. 88,000 people remain under evacuation orders. another 84,000 are under evacuation warnings. officials are urging people to be ready to go now before evacuation orders are even given. law enforcement and members of the national guard have been tasked with the grim work of looking into 37 missing persons reports across both fires. >> we also have been working with teams that are coming in to work on the palisades to begin

searching for remains as well, so this operation continues. its active, not easy work. >> law enforcement is also watching over abandoned neighborhoods as looters try to take advantage of the situation, and l.a. mayor karen bass says she's working with the governor to expedite debris removal and the rebuilding process for victims. the death toll now stands at 25. l.a. county officials are expected to give their latest update later this morning. we'll have more for you when that information does come out. dave. >> all right. andre. thank you. time now, 606. a candlelight vigil was held in los angeles honoring the victims of the wildfires. community members came together paying their respects to the fire victims and also showing appreciation for the first responders. several community groups organized this vigil, calling it a gesture of solidarity. >> it's important that we all come together, and what tonight is about here in south los angeles is that there are no

borders. we are here in solidarity for our communities across this city. >> now, the fire victims are facing a very long and challenging road to recovery. there's a new study out released by accuweather saying the price tag will be more than $250 billion to rebuild. >> the white house says the federal government will pay most of the recovery costs for six months in the fires after that. president biden wants congress to approve funding for the help that's needed. however, political challenges on capitol hill are expected as many republicans, including house speaker mike johnson, say any federal aid should come with conditions. democrats say that's outrageous. >> we should not be leveraging the pain and suffering of our fellow americans to try to force through policy changes. no one wants to leave any american who is in need. hanging, so to speak. right? but at the same time, we recognize we have a $36

trillion federal debt, and we have to balance these needs. >> republicans want financial conditions related to fire prevention and land management. last month, congress did approve $100 billion in emergency aid for wildfires and other disasters. >> our time now. 607. the city of alameda taking the next steps to repurpose an historic building at the former naval air station. ktvu sally rasmus talked to people about building 92 and what it could become in the future. good morning ali. >> good morning dave. well, it could become a brewery. a new business. we just don't know. what we do know is that building 92 right here behind me is for sale. and while it doesn't look that impressive from the outside, there's a lot of space here. it's got 90,000ft!s across three acres. the city of alameda is going to be taking proposals from developers on what they want to put here, and how they might repurpose this building. this building has a long history

here in alameda point, built back in 1942, in the middle of world war two for use back when this whole area was a working naval air station. it's located on west ranger avenue, and it used to be home of the alameda food bank, which moved across the street starting this week. the city will start taking proposals from developers who want to buy and repurpose this building. the city council gets to approve that sale based on those proposals, and their priority is seeing something here that will provide jobs and add a sense of community. >> we first of all, have to acknowledge that it is a contributing historic structure, and so it has to stay in place, but it could be adaptively used. we're looking for job generating uses. so it could be office. it could be makerspace. it could be neighborhood serving functions. >> i think everyone's really appreciative of what alameda has. i talked to a lot of people that have, you know, kind of moved all over the bay and all they can say is how much they

enjoy living in alameda and how much there's like actually community here. so hopefully that's something we're able to preserve. >> now these are pictures of what building 92 looks like on the inside. from the cushman and wakefield commercial real estate website. it was built from old growth douglas fir, the kind of building materials you'd only find back in the early 1900s. they don't make buildings with that kind of material anymore. the building would have to be some sort of business, not housing, and it would have to stay intact so it couldn't be razed. since this is a historic building, the developer would have to abide by certain guidelines. asking price hasn't been disclosed, but other former naval base buildings here have sold in the millions. building 91 next door, which houses the almanac beer company, was bought in 2017 for 2.8 million. as for the timeline, the city of alameda will continue accepting those proposals until april, and then the city council could make a decision about what goes here next in summer or fall of this year. live in alameda. allie

rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you allie. president biden is delivering his final address as president tonight in the transition. defense secretary nominee pete hegseth was questioned by the senate armed services committee ahead of a confirmation hearing. hegseth gained a hold out vote from republican iowa senator joni ernst, and is now expected to have enough support. confirmation hearings are scheduled today for florida senator marco rubio for secretary of state and pam bondi for attorney general. >> my assumption is at least that on some of these key national security positions, that we would have a level of cooperation that would enable us to get some of those positions filled quickly. >> president biden is preparing for his final oval office address. he did release a letter to the nation this morning saying in part, quote, i ran for president because i believe that the soul of america was at stake. the very nature of who we are was at stake, and that is still the case. the president will address the nation at 5:00

this evening. >> all right. our time is 611. it's time to check in with sal. see what's happening on our roads. now. how does it look? >> it looks okay. there is a little bit of a backup out there. dave and pam right now at the bay bridge, which is not unusual. it's backed up to about the 880 overcrossing. should be backed up to the maze pretty soon. what we don't have is a lot of problems in the way of crashes or stalled vehicles, and that's good. we have the regular slow traffic here and there and 880 still looks good. peninsula. remember, yesterday was kind of an issue. it's nice and quiet on the peninsula and also in the south bay at 611. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal. one of the nation's largest retailers. polishing up a new look. see if you can spot the differences between walmart's old and new logos. >> and parents know it can be really expensive to raise a child. but mothers and fathers of newborns, you may soon ge some help from the

dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business.

you this morning. three men are due in court today accused of being involved in a deadly freeway shooting in 2023 that killed a five year old girl. she was shot and killed while riding in the car with her family on interstate 880, in fremont. this will be one of the first high profile cases. the alameda county district attorney's office has handled since the recall of former district attorney pamela price. >> well, as the southern california wildfires keep

burning, consumer advocates are accusing some landlords of raising rents and taking advantage of the situation. the bay area news group reports online listings show some rent prices more than doubled compared to this time last year. one realtor says rents jumped 20% on the very night the fire started. it's illegal to increase the cost of leases by more than 10% in an area that's under a state of emergency. >> the long delayed sale of the oakland coliseum is a step closer to being finalized. the alameda county board of supervisors approved the terms of the agreement for selling the county's 50% interest in the coliseum complex. this follows the agreement by the a's and the city of oakland to sell their shares of the coliseum to the african american sports and entertainment group. the sale is expected to close by the end of may, and the bill was just passed by the house of representatives. >> that would change the title nine rules, and transgender athletes would be banned from women's sports at many schools.

now, the rule applies to colleges, universities and k through 12 schools that get federal funding. the bill passed in the house with two democrats voting with the republicans. title nine is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education programs. critics say the new legislation is part of an anti-transgender agenda, but supporters of the bill say the integrity of women's sports is being protected. >> it was created to protect women, and so we need to make sure we stay on that track. >> for some reason, you know, people think that trans women and intersex people have an advantage in sport when in actual fact there is no evidence for that. >> now, the president of the ncaa says transgender athletes make up less than 1% of ncaa athletes in all sports. this is not law. yet the republicans in

the senate majority there still has to pass it first. >> california newborns could be coming home from the hospital with free diapers if an initiative in the governor's budget proposal passes. the diaper initiative would set aside $7 million in this year's budget. it would also allocate $13 million in the following year to provide a three month supply of diapers to families of new babies, regardless of income. california's diaper banks lost out on additional funding in 2023, after governor newsom vetoed a bill to expand the state's distribution of diapers and baby wipes. new research says people are spending more time at home. the study from clemson university found more people are embracing the homebody lifestyle that started during the pandemic. since 2019, activities outside the house are down by about an hour a day. besides some employees continuing to work from home, the study found people are spending less time socializing. >> maybe we need less shopping, which people are doing less of.

maybe we need fewer restaurants. it's a real challenge for commercial real estate. some municipal areas are getting hit really bad with office vacancy in their downtowns having a lot of trouble recovering. >> the behavior is hurting retailers nationwide, including here in the bay area. researchers are proposing possible changes to future infrastructure projects, such as combining living space with shops and restaurants to accommodate the trend. >> all right, our time is just about 619. sal is back. what's happening in traffic now? >> well, for now, it's pretty straightforward. we have one place with a bigger backup, and that would be, of course, the bay bridge. we have a bigger backup there. it's backed up now almost to the maze and the metering lights are on. the good news is we haven't had a lot of concerns of concerns like blocked lanes because of a crash or a broken down vehicle. right now it's looking okay on 880. now sometimes these things pop up later. so we're here to let

you know we do have some slowing. and now just as i said that of course whenever i say we don't have anything going on and then we get, you know, we get something like that. looks like the richmond bridge on westbound 580 may have something on the span. i'm going to investigate, but we have some slowing on westbound 580. it looks like it's a. here it is. it's a hit and run crash on the bridge a semi and another car. so they have to move them out of the bridge. and now there's a bigger backup on that richmond bridge 619 let's bring steve back in here with today's weather. >> sal thank you sir. we'll take a look at some lows. we finally got a 29 that's at boulder creek in the santa cruz mountains. 29 hollister, 31 degrees campbell, lafayette, 32 stanford campus, 33. saratoga is in there, fairfax in there. and danville is close at 34 degrees. there are a lot of 30. menlo park's also in at 33 degrees, and novato is also 33 degrees, so

there's plenty to go around. second day in a row. the record low for the city is 29. that happened on january 14th and 15th in 1888. most rain on this date 1.94 and 1878. the record high not that long ago 73 2009. but if you didn't see yesterday, the coldest low ever for san francisco was not 29, which happened yesterday and today in 1888, but 27 on december 11th, 1932. it also snowed that day. that was an official snow day. climate data, san francisco. we are currently the third driest ever. the driest was ten years ago 2015 when not a drop fell, and before that only 0.06 was the second dry. what was the wettest january in san francisco? steve, i'm glad you asked. that goes way back. hold on. my data here 1862 when 24 and a third fell. that was part of the great flood of 1862. offshore breeze. nothing else really going on. i mean, we're just in a really on a holding

pattern, if you will, and 30s, some mid 30s, low 30s santa rosa is down to 32. there's plenty to alamo 33. there's lafayette 32. orinda is close as well. dublin is in there 33. even el sobrante, pinole and martinez in there, along with union city, upper 30s 18 and 17, truckee, south lake tahoe, carson city 18, reno at 19. nothing really changing, although there will be an arctic plunge here in the middle of the country, and some of that will kind of work its way back to the west and may clip us a little bit over the weekend. so i think today is probably the warmest day, and then we'll start a slow decline going into the weekend on those high temps, same old song and dance, though there's really not much change here. 60s on the temps, 30s and 40s on the lows. >> all right. thank you. steve. calls for price gouging. calls of price gouging during the wildfires in los angeles. we're going to show you a few examples of the new costs for fire victims. and moana and moana two are among the most successful animated films of all time. but

a shooting of a little girl two years ago are due in an east bay courtroom today. we'll hear from the victim's family and the reason they're happy about a change in the alameda county district attorney's office. >> from ktvu, fox two news, this is mornings on two. >> all right, as we take you live to that opening bell ringing right now, wall street is rallying on some strong earnings reports and an important report on inflation. the consumer price index for december was just released this morning. shows the rate of inflation is slowing. it came in

better than analysts expected. that is sending the dow up about 600 points on the opening. the nasdaq set to jump more than 300 points. also this morning some great earnings reports from some of the big names in banking jp morgan chase, wells fargo, goldman sachs. we'll talk more about that in today's dollars and cents. thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. i'm pam cook. >> and good morning i'm dave clark. middle of the week. it's wednesday january 15th and pam is just plain cold outside. >> oh, you snuck out. >> it's steve. you said it was. it's cold. >> it might even get colder earlier next week. now, most of the country will be in an arctic plunge here, but some of that might clip back towards us. unfortunately, it looks like another offshore event is in our near future. as in maybe sunday or monday. there's no rain in sight. i mean, this this is going down probably as the third driest january in san francisco's history. unless something gets us around the end of the month. a lot of 30s here. santa rosa 32, menlo park 34. if you get any puff of a breeze,

might hold it up a little bit. even concord 30 for that high to the north and then the low, it's all going to be about cold air plunging, though into the middle of the country, the rockies, and a little bit to the west. but boy, we're stuck here in this pattern. cold morning or mornings, mild afternoon for a couple of days. but i think sunday, monday, tuesday you're going to notice a big change here in our temps. highs may only get in the upper 50s today though they'll be in the 60s. all right. south here. 631 a freeway, a bridge. what? >> yeah, we have to go to the richmond bridge. steve, there was a crash on the bridge. you know that. there is no shoulder there heading over to marin, so they're trying to clear it. but look at the backup now. it's almost completely stopped here at the richmond bridge. so if you take the richmond bridge, i know it's not usually this backed up this early. you're going to get out there and say, oh my goodness, i'm going to be late. if that is your commute, add 1520, maybe add 30 minutes just because even though they're trying to get this thing off the bridge, it is already backed up

pretty big time there. speaking of bridges, the bay bridge is backed up to the maze. that's more of a normal backup. we don't have any problems on the actual span. 632. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal. today, a judge will hear arguments in the case of three men accused of killing a young girl during a freeway shooting. the case may move forward as alameda county is still without a permanent district attorney. ktvu james torres is live from the courthouse in dublin, where that hearing is set to happen later this morning. good morning james. >> good morning pamela. that shooting happened about two years ago was along 880 and fremont. that's when police tell us that three suspected gang members shot into a car, killing a young girl inside. that young girl, five year old eliana crisostomo. and at the time that the district attorney's office filed those charges, then da pamela price added enhancements to those charges against the three men, but did not add special circumstances. as a result, that could make the accused murderers up for

eligible for life without the rather with the possibility of parole. we spoke to eliana's mother and she told ktvu she hopes the next leadership within the da's office will change that. >> we will never recover. that's something that you can never it will never go away. the pain will never go away. we just learn to live with it. you know, my son was only six years old at the time, sitting right next to her. they're only 11 months apart. >> humberto anaya, cristo valderrama and emanuel serrano are each charged with murder. a judge today will determine if and how the case will proceed to trial. that hearing is set to start at 830 this morning at the county courthouse here in dublin. will be there listening to those hearings and those motions. we'll let you know what happens. we're live this morning in dublin. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, james thank you. time. 6.34. a former antioch police

officer pled guilty to several charges that include conspiring to injure, threaten and intimidate residents. eric rambo confessed to his role in a massive law enforcement corruption scandal in a deal with federal prosecutors. investigators say rambo conspired with other colleagues to preplan violence, give false police reports, not report uses of force, and deprived the people of antioch of their rights. he's one of 14 former police officers in east contra costa county, charged in a federal and state investigation that started back in 2023. >> the firefight continues down south this morning, with strong winds picking up again in the area. the palisades fire is now 18% contained, but it has burned nearly 24,000 acres. the eaton fire near altadena and pasadena, now 35% contained 14,000 acres, have burned there. 25 people now confirmed dead in the fires and the dangerous fire conditions

persist, and authorities are warning people to be ready to leave their home at a moment's notice. consumer advocates are accusing some landlords in southern california of violating the state law against price gouging during an emergency. that law stops landlords from raising rents by no more than 10% after a state of emergency is declared. bay area news group reports. local online listings show some rents are up 124%. a five bedroom property in santa monica was listed for 12,500 a month in february last year. now it's 28,000 a month. one real estate agent says rents shot up 20% the night the fire started. >> well, more bay area businesses are stepping in to help the wildfire victims down in southern california. several fund raising events are taking place to support several relief efforts. one san francisco restaurant is bringing back a popular bake sale, and the chef there says all the proceeds will

go towards feeding thousands of evacuees and first responders on the ground. >> i think in restaurants like what we do is hospitality, and i think that doesn't just stop at serving people dinner. like taking care of people is what we do. >> it's nice to be able to provide people with, you know, warm meals and what they need. and so like, this is what we can do. we're far away. but this is kind of like what we can do. and it feels good. >> now several bay area bars are also donating part of their sales to support relief efforts. >> a big change is coming for fire protection in southern santa clara county. supervisors have unanimously voted to end a contract with cal fire and instead put fire services directly under county control. right now, people living outside the main cities of gilroy and morgan hill belong to the south. santa clara county fire district, which is marked in green on the map and has been serviced by cal fire since 1980. the union representing cal fire crews say more than 30 employees

may now lose their jobs. >> absolutely opposed to the idea that 30 plus firefighters who have served our community with courage, distinction and distinction could be replaced by an annexation idea that is confusing, dangerous, expensive, expensive and reduces community protection. >> county leaders say budget constraints at the state level have resulted in a lower level of service. >> what is at stake here is the viability. can can they continue to provide the services that they they committed to? and what we have seen is that no county leaders see the situation as an equity issue, and they want all county residents to receive the same level of emergency response. >> our time now. 638. well, starting today, the east bay spca is offering free pet adoptions to help clear out its shelters. volunteers drove down to the l.a. county animal care center in lancaster to bring back adoptable pets here to the

bay area. they brought back ten dogs. now they're trying to make room to take in even more animals. now you can join fox and our support of families affected by the california wildfires. with your help, we've already raised more than $3 million. you can scan the qr code on your screen or go to ktvu.com/wildfire to make a financial donation. >> the alameda county board of supervisors approved the terms of a deal giving control of its portion of the coliseum to the african american sports and entertainment group. now the process has taken years, but the group said some key things had to happen. the city and the a's, who shared the ownership, both had to agree to sell. those deals were made for $125 million each. there were also bonds and a lawsuit that needed to be resolved. >> all of these pieces had to fall in place in order for us to close with the city, as well as the county. so these were very critical pieces. and, you know,

it's hard to explain it, but i think when you look at it in its completion, you see how all the points of sequence had to work. >> last night's approval should mean that within 30 days, a deal could be signed resolution that the county board of supervisors unanimously approved is a public signal and direction to county staff to move forward and make this assignment so that a single entity can control that coliseum site and then move forward with the development project that is envisioned, a transformative project for not only oakland, but for the region. there are still some steps that need to be completed even after the county portion is done. but if all goes smoothly, this entire transaction could be completed by the end of may. >> that's exciting. time now 640. sal is back watching our commute. everybody behaving for you? >> well, dave, that's a subjective question. yeah, i know. >> i figured i'd ask anyway.

>> i you know what? dave and pam, i would say so. we have one problem that i'll tell you about in a second, but i want to check in with the bay bridge. just because everyone always wants to know what is the bay bridge doing? it's pretty normal. i would say behaving for this time of the morning is a check mark there, but the richmond bridge is not. the richmond bridge had a crash. it's kind of hard to get that thing out of the way. and remember, the richmond bridge has no shoulder. although things are improving. they're getting things better now and i can see things are moving better. but we had that crash involving a big rig and a car. and now if you drive on the richmond bridge, you'll be surprised. you know, commuters hate surprises. it's usually the same amount of time to drive from point a to point b at a certain time. this morning, you need an extra 20, maybe even a half hour to get out there and stay on schedule. 641 let's go back to steve. >> thank you, kind sir. yes, sir. all right. i'll tell you. it's looking more and more likely. like we may not get any

more rain this month unless something, you know, zigs instead of zags near the end of the month, because there's nothing this week and doesn't look like anything next week except more of the same here. the third driest january on track for san francisco. we picked up 19 118 fell on the third. at least it's not the driest. but it wasn't that long ago, ten years ago. and then 11 years ago, it was the second driest. so january is kind of turning into an all or nothing month here. offshore breeze. i don't want to say wind, but it may be a more wind may be in our near future as in sunday. monday is kind of looking that way. we still have a slight offshore breeze, so we start off with 30s and 40s, a couple of 20s. we had more yesterday, but still cold enough, no doubt about it. lafayette's 32 walnut creek, alamo, dublin. orinda all at 33. clayton's 35. look at el sobrante. pinole, martinez in there, union city, brentwood. they're all in there in the 30s as well. even pittsburgh in there. reno's at 19. truckee 18. south lake tahoe 17. it does look colder, especially on the

weekend going into early next week. up in the mountains. could be a few flurries, but really the entire much of the country is expecting an arctic plunge starting on tuesday into monday into tuesday, we might see a little bit of cold air. unfortunately, it does look like another offshore event for us and maybe southern california early next week. cold morning, mild afternoon. after today, though, i'd be surprised if we got any warmer. same old song and dance, though. clear cold morning, sunny side up. mild afternoon. there's a little easterly breeze. 60s on the temps. warmest temps, probably san jose, santa clara valley. but it does look like a much colder pattern. maybe a windy pattern will take us into the weekend and early next week. >> all right steve. time now. 643 from the octagon to the fire lines, the very special honor that a california firefighter received from an mma

trump could establish the department within a different existing agency. >> well, in one of the final moves by president biden, the united states will remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. the biden administration says that's a strategic move to free political prisoners. it reached an agreement for the cuban government to release prisoners deemed unjustly detained by the end of president biden's term. about 550 prisoners are expected to be released. the deal is a direct reversal of a decision that then-president donald trump made to designate cuba, a state sponsor of terrorism, back in january of 2021. well, new. this morning, south korea conducted a massive law enforcement operation. it included arresting that country's impeached president. south korea's anti-corruption agency took him into custody. his security force did not try to resist. authorities accused him of

inciting a rebellion by declaring martial law last month without approval from the legislature. the parliament then impeached him. >> jpmorgan chase reported record annual profits that were driven by strong performance in deal making and trading activities. profit for 2024 rose to $58.5 billion, from about $50 billion this time last year. the nation's largest bank projects this year's income to exceed expectations, despite concerns about government spending, inflation and growth sustainability. wells fargo and goldman sachs also reported strong quarterly numbers this morning. people in san francisco's fillmore district are pressuring city leaders to take action ahead of the closure of the only full service grocery store in the neighborhood. advocates met outside the safeway in the fillmore before marching to city hall. safeway says it will close the store on webster and geary by february 7th, after 40 years of

operation. the chain said it made the decision due to ongoing theft and concerns about employee and customer safety. families say the closure will make things tough for people who simply need a convenient place to buy their groceries. >> i have to, like, go to a further safeway and we won't. we wouldn't be able to walk there no more. >> residents hope to see another grocery store replace the safeway. >> all right, our time is 649. again, back to sal. he's going to help you get to where you need to go. sal. >> yeah. you know, i have to keep going back to that richmond bridge. it's not good right now. and, you know, we don't talk about it a lot when it's not, you know, when it's okay. it's kind of okay. but today, because of a crash on the span, it's hard to get to the richmond bridge once you get past the crash. it's wide open for you. but that crash has just been taking a while to clear. and even after it does, it looks like the you know, it looks like

the backup is still very much there. so we're going to keep watching that. it is backed up at the bay bridge toll plaza from the macarthur maze to the metering lights. we also do see traffic on 80 westbound and el sobrante slowing down as you drive into berkeley. highway four is slow. 31 minute drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. 650. let's bring steve back in with today's weather. sal. >> thank you kindly, sir. another cold start to the morning here. 30s for many. not as cold as yesterday, but cold enough. 32 sonoma county airport. 31 one observation walnut creek. menlo park. 34. 35 even mountain view out to livermore. hayward. fremont in there. even over to one observation on the san mateo coast. there. i've seen upper 30s and low 40s here. at one time, pacific was 39. now 42, foster city, san carlos, redwood city, woodside, menlo park, stanford campus down to 33, los altos and palo alto all in there around 34, 35, 36, 37, ten and

minden, 19 and reno teens, truckee and south lake tahoe and 18, in carson city. this is a just a really dry pattern for us. everything is going to be in from the rockies. east arctic plunge will move in sunday into monday. so dry, dry pattern. i mean, it's looking like this month may not get any more rain unless something really changes fast. cold morning, mild afternoon. although we will see some colder air coming in as that plunge will be on the western edge of it. there could be a few flurries up in the mountains. i'll mention that for sunday. monday, if you're going up there, and i think single digits on lows for truckee, maybe south lake tahoe early next week. we'll have highs in the 50s is the way it looks, but probably another offshore wind event for us. if it isn't sunday, it will be monday. same old song and dance and i'll use aerosmith on that one. 60s on the temps low to mid. warmest temps will be south. probably the way it looks, but by the weekend, especially early next week. some pretty cold temps here, mr. clark. wow. >> all right. steve. time is 652. making history in marin

655. some really special honors for a firefighter from modesto who is battling the l.a. firefighters. a wildfires now yesterday, ryan fenton was promoted to engineer, but since his team is in altadena battling the wildfires, his badge ceremony was also held down there. but the event became even more memorable because legendary mixed martial arts fighter chuck liddell visited the firefighters camp to thank them for all their hard work, and he also pinned the new badge on fenton and even autographed it. >> getting promoted alone is a big deal, and then having

someone like the iceman do it is unheard of. >> it's stressful on the guys and they're out doing 24 hour shifts and it's pretty depressing. so that kind of thing, just something like that, just to lighten the mood a little bit. it was very nice to do that. so anything like that helps the guys. it helps the morale out a lot. >> now modesto fire plans to give fenton a proper pinning ceremony when he comes back home. time now. 656. happening today, the u.s. supreme court will hear arguments in a case involving pornography and the first amendment. the supreme court are considering considering a texas state law that requires users viewing adult sites to first verify their age. the law has angered free speech advocates, who claim it's vague and imposes significant burdens on adults trying to get access. and show their expression that is constitutionally protected. well, san francisco mayor daniel lowery introduced an ordinance

to the board of supervisors to take on the city's fentanyl drug crisis. he outlined the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance. it would speed up funding for additional hiring of public safety and health staff. it would also add shelters, expand treatment and implement new mental health initiatives. mayor lori says this will allow the city to get around the bureaucratic obstacles that have prevented progress in fighting the fentanyl crisis. time is now 658. the marin county board of supervisors just made some history.

well as green bay and ross and other communities. well, a $20 million donation will help bay area students go to private schools. it's called the basic fund. it provides scholarships for pre-k through eighth grade students based on their need. that gift will allow it to support almost 2000 additional students. the nonprofit organization right now provides scholarships to more than 3200 students. they're saying more than 98% of their low income scholars graduate from high school. >> where are we? this seems like a war zone. this just doesn't seem real. >> another day of strong winds in southern california, and firefighters and residents are on edge. the effort to help prevent new flare ups as the investigations into how the fire started ramps up. with just a few days left in his term, president biden will address the nation for the final time tonight. what we've just learned he's expected to say about what

he calls the soul of america. then the next step could be on the way for the refurbishment of the former alameda naval base, with the city is now looking for as it works to redevelop an area that's been abandoned for years. [music] >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. and it's a gorgeous morning, but it's cold out there. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. i can back that up too. good morning i'm dave clark. it is wednesday, january 15th. steve will tell you more about your weather. he's right here. >> well, it's the same as we've seen for a while. it's cold, but the day will be nice. but it's a dry pattern. it's just. i don't see any rain here. usually on the first to look out there and try and find something. but i don't see any. maybe end of the month, but this will probably go down as the third driest january in san francisco's history. we'll probably get another offshore event early next week. today though, it will be 30s 40s on the lows and then 60s on the highs. there's still a slight easterly breeze, but this
