some sort of business or businesses, not housing. >> this building we're looking for uses that would either bring jobs and or be neighborhood serving. what's special about it is that it is built from this, this old growth wood, and it has this beautiful trellis roof system inside the building. >> now, these are pictures of the inside of building 92 from the cushman and wakefield commercial real estate website. the asking price has not been disclosed, but other former naval base buildings here at alameda point have sold in the millions. building 91 next door, for example, which houses the almanac beer company, was bought in 2017 for 2.8 million. now, since this is a historic building, the developer would have to agree to follow some specific guidelines about how to repurpose it. they would not be allowed to just tear the building down, for instance. but as for the timeline on all of this, the city is going to be accepting those proposals from

prospective buyers and developers through april. and then by this summer or early fall, the alameda city council could make a decision on what will be here next. live in alameda. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right ali thank you. time now. 707 today, president biden will deliver his farewell address to the nation. the president's speech from the oval office is scheduled for 5:00 this evening. in remarks that just came out this morning, he tells the nation, 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, unquote. president biden will fly out of washington, dc next monday at noon. it will mark the end of his more than 50 year career in politics as hearings for president elect trump's cabinet nominees continue today, it appears one of mr. trump's most controversial cabinet nominees will be able to earn enough support from the senate. >> former fox news host and

this morning. today, oakland police chief floyd mitchell will present proposed changes to the city's pursuit policy. they come in response to governor newsom's assertion that oakland should loosen its police pursuit policy. currently, oakland police are only allowed to pursue someone if they're suspected of committing a violent forcible crime or if they are believed to have a gun. the long delayed sale of the oakland coliseum is one step closer to being finalized. the alameda county board of supervisors approved the terms of an agreement for selling the county's 50% stake in the coliseum complex. the a's and city of oakland have already agreed to sell their shares of

the coliseum to the african american sports and entertainment group. the sale is expected to close by may 30th. >> our time now 714. a big change is coming for fire protection in southern santa clara county. the supervisors voted unanimously to end a contract with cal fire, and instead put fire services directly under county control. right now, people living outside of the main cities of gilroy and morgan hill belong to the south. santa clara county fire district. it's marked in green on this map. it's 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 40, 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. >> now, county leaders say

budget constraints at the state level have resulted in a lower level of service. supervisors also say the south county fire district can't afford its contract, and has depended on the county to fill that 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 get the same level of emergency response, as some cities have been forced to make cuts to their fire department budgets. >> one bay area city is touting some recently added new equipment and personnel. after nearly 20 years of planning. fremont fire chief zoraida diaz bought and brought a new fire truck into service. the department worked with the city to get additional funds for staffing. chief diaz said the fire truck itself cost 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 swalwell said he's introduced a bill that would increase the amount of money fema allocates for preventative fire safety measures. >> our time now. 716 with the future of tiktok in jeopardy here in the u.s, downloads from another app from china are skyrocketing. the app is called red note in english. it looks and feels very similar to tiktok, but there's one big difference. a lot of the content is in chinese, not english. even so, that app jumped to the top of the u.s. charts in the app store. >> apparently, the company itself has been caught by surprise with the surge in popularity. so they're rushing like around the clock to make sure a lot of their videos that are in chinese are translated for an american audience.

>> now, some american users of red note are even calling themselves tiktok refugees. it's a form of protest against tiktok being banned in the united states. >> i think like we want to prove that to the government, like we should have the right to go to all of these apps, and we should have the free speech in america to do this. like that's what we are based on. >> now, red note is also owned by a company in china, so it might not last long. according to a report by tech publication the information, tiktok is preparing for an immediate shut off this sunday. if the u.s. supreme court allows that ban to take place, that means the app could stop working for american users this weekend. >> time is 718. typically, we'd see a heat up in the morning commute. is that happening, sal? >> yes, it is. kasha and dave. good morning to you both. southbound 680, in walnut creek. we're going to start there at

north main. there's a crash blocking lanes and we're not sure if anyone is injured, but all of a sudden we're having backup into pleasant hill, almost into concord. we also had that richmond bridge problem we had where they had a crash there for a bit. that crash has been cleared, but it takes a while for the traffic to unwind. trust me, it's a lot slower than usual. bay bridge is backed up to the macarthur maze and the metering lights are on. we haven't talked a lot about the south bay or the peninsula. we're getting some slow traffic, although it is a lot more routine than it was yesterday when we had all those issues. peninsula still looks good. 718. speaking of looking good, steve, i read your book. >> who came in? who came in? >> but i still can't do it like you. >> oh, stop, i can't. those days are over. all right, here we go. it's a cold one out there now. this morning. boulder creek. we had a few more 20s yesterday. boulder creek, 29, hollister, 30 campbell, lafayette, a little cold. take that walk around the reservoir this morning. fairfax

of another offshore event that looks to be early next week. unfortunately, we still have a slight easterly breeze at walnut creek now. one observation down to 30. there's plenty of 30. santa rosa 32. brentwood's 35. concord 34. there's your boulder creek 29. hollister at 30 degrees. felton is now 30. so cal, aptos, santa cruz all in there. campbell's at 32. i mean, you take your pick. there's a bunch everywhere around. so it's cold. 16 bookends. truckee, south lake tahoe, 22 in reno. and this high is not going anywhere anytime soon. all the all the activity if you will. the big news will be the arctic plunge that starts to make its move in the middle of the country. and some of that might work its way back here a little bit as we go into monday and tuesday. but it'll be all about the brutally cold temps starting next week, and maybe there could be a few flurries up in the sierra. i'll mention that on monday, maybe sunday night monday, but there's no rain in sight for us. same old song and dance. sunny side up. once we get going here. there's a little easterly breeze. 60s. this might

old eliana crisostomo. her mother says the girl's brother was sitting right next to her when her when his sister was killed. at the time the charges were filed, then district attorney pamela price added enhancements to the charges against the three men, but did not add special circumstances that could make the accused murderers eligible for life with the possibility of parole. we spoke to eliana's mother, she told ktvu she hopes the next leadership within the da's office will try to eliminate the possibility of parole. >> 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

deal to happen and we want the assignment assigning the county's portion of the sale to the entity that has proposed this transformative development out in east oakland. we want that to happen within 30 days. so this is a huge step forward. >> there are still a few steps to go here. lawyers for each side have to finalize the agreement. bonds need to be paid. as it stands, oakland would receive $95 million for its share of the coliseum by may 30th, which would help with the city's budget issues. >> obviously, we're all local and we want to see things better, you know. and so if we can, we're going to try to get this. we're going to move as quickly as we possibly can. so but it is a very complex, large transaction. and there's just i mean, it's really hard to describe the level of paperwork and, you know, the documentation and just the things you have to go through and due diligence. it's pretty massive.

>> once the transaction is complete, site planning for the future of the coliseum complex will be able to begin. >> our time now. 735. well, very strong winds are again hitting parts of southern california as firefighters keep battling several fires. 25 deaths are now confirmed for the fires. the palisades fire is now 19% contained. it has burned more than 23,000 acres in altadena. the eaton fire is 45% contained. it has burned more than 14,000 acres. investigators are still searching for the cause of these huge fires. several lawsuits have been filed now against the utility company southern california edison. those lawsuits claim the utility companies equipment sparked the eaton fire. now, southern california edison admitted it is investigating the claim. investigative teams are also examining the site of a brush fire that began 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. >> now, a team from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives is heading up the investigation. the team say it could take months to figure out the cause of all of those fires. >> consumer advocates are accusing some landlords in southern california of violating a state law against price gouging during an emergency. the law means landlords can't raise rents by more than 10% after a state of emergency is declared, but some online listings show the cost of rent has skyrocketed. anecdotally, one agent showing a listing increased the cost by $1,000 a month just in the span of one showing. one realtor says rents shot up about 20% the night the fires broke out. four bedroom home in topanga jumped 24%, up

to $14,300 a month in the past week for bay area businesses are stepping in to help wildfire survivors in southern california. there are several fundraising events to support multiple relief efforts. one san francisco restaurant is bringing back its santa bake bake sale, which has helped support other causes in the past. the chef there says all proceeds will now go to help feed thousands of evacuees and first responders. >> 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. >> several bars in the bay area are also donating a portion of their sales to support relief efforts. >> all right. gasia time. 738. hey, sal. did you fix everything out there in the commute yet? >> well, we're trying to. dave and gasia. good morning to you both. right now, we do have slow traffic almost everywhere. some of it is routine. some of it is

hearings scheduled for president elect trump's cabinet nominees. today's hearing include florida senator marco rubio, nominated for secretary of state, and pam bondi for attorney general. and this week, the city of alameda will start hearing proposals from developers who want to buy a very historic building near the former naval air station. city leaders want to bring new life to alameda point. they're hoping to fill that space with some kind of business, not housing. the goal is to create more jobs and develop a sense of community in that growing neighborhood. >> after the deadly new orleans attack on new year's day, police in atlanta say there will be plenty of law enforcement for the upcoming weekend. atlanta is getting ready to host the college football playoff national championship and martin luther king jr. day events on monday. more than 100,000 people are expected to be in and around atlanta this weekend. police are asking everyone to be vigilant and report suspicious in person or online activity.

>> we have protected super bowl. we have protected college football championship game in the past and many other sporting events. we have a plan. they need to be lucky one time. we have to be right every time. and so when we look at new orleans, we look around the globe. we do look at how attacks have been carried out before and how it could be replicated here. >> a number of local, state and federal law enforcement officers will work with police to help ensure safety in atlanta, just weeks after that deadly new orleans attack that left more than a dozen people dead and many more injured. >> all right. gasia time. 744 wall street is really rallying on some strong earnings reports and a very important report on inflation. >> pam cook back in the studio here to explore in dollars and cents. yes. >> some good news to talk about this morning. and some up arrows. 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 sent the dow up about 600 points and the nasdaq up more than 300 points. right when that opening bell rang this morning before the bell rang, some of

the big banks jp morgan chase, wells fargo and goldman sachs all posted strong quarterly numbers, thanks in part to higher fees and an increase in m&a, which is merger and acquisition business. all right. taking you live to see those numbers and that nice rally. dow jones has held steady. they're up about 1.5%. 630 points. the s&p 500 up more than 1.5%. and the nasdaq gaining more than 2%. now up 420 points. the upcoming tiktok ban has a lot of social media users scrambling to find a new app. it's also impacting small business owners who use the app to connect with customers. small businesses can use tiktok for more than just generating engagement. they can also use the app to sell products and services. instagram and other social media apps offer similar tools for businesses. however, users say tiktok's algorithm is built, so accounts with not so many followers can still reach

thousands of people with a video talk. >> anyone can go viral. anybody can have that moment. >> time to shift gears when look into maybe some of the platforms that we had not invested so much in and learn, you know, how what do we need to do to boost those videos on those other platforms? >> now, the deadline for tiktok's china based parent company to sell the app is this sunday. otherwise, it will be banned in the u.s. the securities and exchange commission is suing elon musk for actions taken before the takeover of twitter. the sec says musk failed to disclose his ownership of more than 5% of twitter stock in a timely manner before he bought the company in 2022. the lawsuit also states that musk, underpaid by at least $150 million for additional shares he purchased. right now, it's unclear if the lawsuit will continue under the trump administration. the chair of the sec plans to step down on inauguration day, and the

interest rate for the most popular home loan rose to more than 7% last week. the 30 year mortgage went up for the fifth straight week, hit its highest level since may 2024, data from the mortgage bankers association shows. since september, home financing costs have increased nearly a full percentage point. mortgage brokers say the trend is discouraging potential buyers already facing rising house prices and limited supply. i'm pam cook. that's a look at your dollars and cents. >> thank you pam. 748. straight back to the traffic center. where do we start, sal? >> yeah. you know, we're starting in the east bay because we've had a lot of slow traffic and some of the spots. i'm going to start off with contra costa county, because 680 is kind of a mess. they cleared a crash at north main. so pleasant hill and concord slowing highway four is slow and then west contra costa county slow traffic in hercules heading down to berkeley. at least the richmond bridge is improved somewhat. we had an earlier crash there and the

traffic at the bay bridge is full strength, backed up to the macarthur maze. metering lights are on, so we've had some slow traffic there for a long time. no crashes on the bridge. interstate 880 is going to be slow and 880 is slow from hayward to fremont. again, all pretty typical. 748. let's talk about today's weather here, steve. >> i think you could do the weather today, sal. i think you know what's going on. >> well, you've taught me well, steve. >> well, yeah, you taught me well. thank you sir. it's a pattern that's just, you know, one of steve's weather rule. rules of thumbs stuck patterns tend to stay stuck. and, boy, is this one stuck. we get cold lows, and then we see afternoon highs. even though the days are getting a teeny bit longer now, but slight offshore breeze, east wind or northeast breeze. not as strong a wind as we had a couple of days ago, although i would plan on maybe monday being a wind event kind of leaning in that direction right now. plenty of 30s. coast bay, inland concord, 33. walnut creek, 30

brentwood, livermore in there, fairfield, napa, santa rosa, petaluma, san carlos, menlo park, mountain view, all san jose, novato 33, fairfax dropped to 32 sonoma, napa, middletown, upper lake, cloverdale, healdsburg, windsor. all in there. point reyes station 33. i did see 32, in a lima valley. 16 truckee, south lake tahoe. mama says, hey, hey, so are we in? winnemucca says. so are we. that's your morning superfecta. and as dave knows, i take very little in taxes out. so you get paid quite well there, right. all right. we do have high pressure. just saying. you know what? i'm hanging out here for a while and i don't think i'm going anywhere anytime soon. so cold mornings, mild afternoons and temperatures. well, they'll be in the 60s on the highs. however, if you haven't heard, there's going to be an arctic plunge of air. we may see a little of that kind of kind of filtering back into the west. could be a few flurries up in the mountains sunday night, monday. but it looks like another offshore event is on track for early next week for us. same old song and dance,

that's for sure. 60s on the temps after today i think. slow decline on these temps here and then by the weekend and early next week it will be highs in the 50s only. dave. >> all right steve. time now 750 with just a couple of days until the presidential inauguration, some schools increase their efforts to protect students from immigration agents. next, at 8:00, the efforts to protect undocumented students and their families against donald trump's threat of mass deportations. and a sex abuse lawsuit against sean diddy combs stemming from anle y area, may soon be thrown out of court. why a judge says the plaintiff may have run out of time. [music]

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.

lawsuit filed by a bay area woman against music mogul sean diddy combs may be thrown out. a woman filed that lawsuit last october, saying combs and his entourage sexually assaulted her in orinda back in 2018. by law, she had to serve combs and two co-defendants with that lawsuit within 90 days. but the judge says the deadline has passed, so now she has until february 14th to show proof of service. her lawyer says that because combs is being held in jail in new york, they haven't been able to

serve him with those papers. >> so you have a process server who can be anybody who has a license to process serve, but those are for people on the outside. when you have people on the inside, it's a different process. >> now, if the plaintiff misses the deadline, she could possibly refile the lawsuit in october. the contra costa county sheriff's office said that a report was taken in 2018 after an investigation. detectives determined the claims were unfounded. it's now 755. a new crisis response team is being launched today by the city of san leandro. the city says the alternative response team will connect people having a nonviolent mental health crisis to care. starting with when someone calls 911. the new team is a partnership between the alameda county fire deparent and a nonprofit group based in oakland. the san leandro city manager says the crisis response unit reflects our commitment to compassionate, innovative

approaches to public safety. well, san francisco mayor daniel leary introduced an ordinance to deal with the fentanyl drug crisis to the board of supervisors. mayor lori calls the it calls it the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance. it would speed up funding, staffing and resources to expand treatment and shelter capacity, as well as mental health initiatives, and would also hire more public safety and health staff. mayor lori says this will allow the city to get around bureaucratic hurdles that have been slowing the progress. it is now 756. a bill was just passed by the house of representatives in washington 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. two democrats voted 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 senate in washington still has to pass it first. well, 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 allocate 13 million the following year to provide a three month supply of diapers to families with new babies, regardless of their income. california's diaper banks missed out on extra funding in 2023, after governor newsom vetoed a bill to expand the state's distribution of diapers and baby wipes. well, there's new research that says people are spending more time at home. new study from clemson university found more people are embracing the homebody lifestyle that began during the pandemic. since 2019, activities outside of home are down by about an hour a day. >> 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. >> now, researchers are proposing possible changes to future infrastructure projects, like combining living spaces with shops and restaurants. to accommodate that trend. well, people in san francisco's fillmore district are pressuring city leaders. they want action taken before the closure of the only full service grocery store in the fillmore neighborhood. advocates met outside the safeway store in the fillmore before they marched to city hall. safeway says it will close that store at webster and geary by february 7th, after being in operation for 30 years. safeway says it made the decision because of continuing theft and concerns about the safety of employees, and customers have to, like, go to a further safeway and we won't. >> we wouldn't be able to walk there no more.

>> now, the group called on the board of supervisors to deal with that closure with a special hearing. >> i hope they get life without the possibility of parole. >> why gamble with the future of other children's lives? >> the men accused of a deadly freeway shooting in alameda county appeared before a judge, while the victim's mother is gripped with uncertainty about whether the suspects will face any real justice. fear building up among immigrant parents and their kids. inauguration day draws closer. the race to shield schools and empower undocumented families amid the incoming president's threats of mass deportations. >> plus, not enough water for the firemen to put out a fire. it's just that should never have happened. >> los angeles county fire victims are left wondering what could have been saved if hydrants in their neighborhoods didn't run out of water. the challenges mounting this morning as the search for a cause presses on. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> welcome to mornings on two at

8:00. as you look live at the oakland skyline this morning, sunshine is coming out. waking up to cold temperatures again. and another mild day across the bay area. thank you so much for joining us. i'm andre senior. >> good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian. it's wednesday, january 15th. let's get outside in this gorgeous, pretty picture behind us. nothing but sunshine on the oakland estuary. >> if you just look outside, it looks already pretty nice, doesn't it? well it is. it's cold though. yes, a lot of 30s 40s. but we'll end up with sunshine today. oh, plenty. wall to wall now. mostly sunny. it will be sunny for everybody but 30s and 40s on the temps. and we'll end up with 60s. there's a little easterly breeze, mainly easterly, slightly northeast. maybe for some that's offshore. that high at the aloft and at the surface, as you shall not pass when it comes to any cold front or any rain. so it's the same old song, same old song and dance here. we'll have temperatures above average. although after today i think they start to trend downward and maybe much cooler as we go into the weekend and early next week though. all right, sal here. 801 usually we head south around this time. yes. no.

>> yes we do. and i am there in the silicon valley right there for you, steve. we're looking at a bunch of slow traffic, which is becoming typical now that we're in 2025. we have a lot of slowing getting up to sunnyvale and cupertino. so basically the commute, as you know, goes from east to west going that way. and that's why they call it the west valley. that's where everyone is going. 280 is pretty slow. we've had some slow traffic also on 101 and 85. bay bridge is still backed up to the maze. yesterday it did finally back up or clear out closer to nine, but it seems to be getting more crowded every day. it's 801. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal, that daily update on the los angeles county wildfires is now underway. officials giving the latest on the firefight and recovery efforts. we'll bring you the big takeaways here in the coming minutes. first, though, we'd like to learn more about how federal firefighters are working alongside state and local crews as hundreds of u.s. forest service personnel are on the front lines of those fires. we welcome the forest service

spokesperson, adrian freeman, to mornings on two. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> good morning. five airtankers ten firefighting helicopters, dozens of fire engines. tell me how all that plus people are being used in southern california. >> well, so first of all, the fire is actually in unified command with the forest service. so we are a major decision maker there. we do have thousands of firefighters on the ground right now from california and across the nation supporting that firefight. we also support in a big way with aircraft, those huge air tankers that you see going across the sky. those are all forest service contracts. >> let's talk about those tankers. we've seen dropping fire retardant and other aircraft, bringing water, putting it on the flames. winds have been a major factor in how these fires started and spread over the past week. plus, we've had some ups and downs when it comes to winds. we're still in a wind advisory right now. can your aircraft fly and how is this affecting the fire fight?

>> yes. so there are three things that affect aircraft. the first one, unfortunately, is incursion by drones, private drones. so we have to be really careful to remind people this is the time to keep those drones on the ground. the second thing is simply conflict in airspace. these are pretty small geographic areas. and as you said, we have dozens, probably hundreds of aircraft up there. we have to be really careful that we are avoiding any kind of conflict in the air. the third, as you said, is weather. our biggest air tankers are not quite as impacted by wind, but they certainly can be impacted by visibility. now, we've had very good success over the past few days. we haven't seen any growth overnight on either the eaton or the palisade fire, so that's a really good sign. we do still have this incoming wind pattern though, so we're hopeful that that continues and we are able to continue utilizing those aircraft. >> good, good. let's talk about resources here. the forest service, like many agencies

under a budget crunch, instituted a hiring freeze last year. has any of that affected the availability of people or resources for this current mission? >> yes. so that fire a hiring freeze actually did not affect firefighters. so we are seeing great staffing. the eaton fire yesterday had received all of the resources that it needed, all its critical resources. of course, one of our biggest priorities right now is pre-positioning resources. we know that we're in this weather pattern with these offshore winds. those are always high fire potential for southern california. we also have very, very dry conditions. so we're focusing on pre-positioning those resources and ensuring that the eaton and palisades fires are brought to a successful conclusion. >> our forest service firefighters staying only in forested areas. i remember we drove through topanga canyon last year and it's, you know, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but then not far away, you have sort of, you know, dense city living. how do your firefighters get allocated?

>> well, so they belong to different forests. they're employed by the angeles national forest or the san bernardino or the cleveland. however, we have really robust sharing, not just among firefighters in california, but also from out of state. so we have firefighters as of yesterday from at least seven different states helping us. many of those are forest service firefighters from across the nation. so we allocate basically with the kind of need that we have. so for example, we have a huge number of firefighters from northern california helping as well as those firefighters from out of state. >> all right. we could talk for a long time, but we'll have to leave it here. i wish everyone working with u.s. forest service, you know, safety and what they're doing on the ground. thank you for your time, adrian freeman. >> thank you. thanks. 806 now, thousands of firefighters come together to help in the fight against the southern california fires. others are stepping up and pitching in. communities around the country are participating in fundraising efforts to help fire victims and firefighters who are working around the clock to contain the fires. we caught up with a group of friends who grew up around

the palisades. their firefighter friend told them about some of the supplies they need to keep them going. they've gathered enough donations from locals and friends around the world to keep the firefighters stocked up with essentials. >> we've been told that some of these firefighters are working 5 or 6 of these a day. i've had friends who i haven't talked to since college who are now living in portugal. reach out. hey, what can i do from afar? >> the latest request from firefighters include chapstick, face wipes, sunscreen, liquid iv packs and hot, healthy meals and a reminder if you want to help, you can join fox's support of families impacted by the california wildfires. with your help, we've raised more than $3 million. you can scan the qr code on your screen or visit ktvu.com/wildfire help to make a financial donation. president elect donald trump will take office five days from now, and many k through 12 schools in california are gearing up to protect students from trump's promise to deport millions of people. 1 million children in california have at least one

undocumented parent, and about 133,000 children in california public schools are undocumented. state attorney general rob bonta released updated guidelines about what k through 12 schools, colleges and universities can and cannot do under state and federal law. that includes the right to attend public school and reminding families that immigration statuses are private and are not needed for school enrollment. >> small schools in rural parts of california are losing a crucial federal funding source that goes back more than 100 years. a funding bill died in congress after republican lawmakers eliminated it from the federal budget. the bill is intended to compensate counties that have large areas of nontaxable national forest land and lower enrollment numbers. last year, it brought nearly $40 million to our state. the money was used for after school programs, repairs, and much more. the bill's sponsor hopes to reintroduce it before the final budget deadline in march. >> time is 808. i'm beginning to see signs of the bay bridge loosening up, and this could mean that we're going to have

much better traffic by 830. it seems to be moving pretty well moving through, so we'll see. some days it does get better by 830. other days it certainly does not. so we're going to keep an eye on it for you. this is northbound 880 now slowing down past the coliseum. getting into downtown 880 south is slow from hayward into fremont. pretty long delay there, but again, not out of the ordinary. south bay commute. also busy, but again, this is the new normal for 2025 as a lot of people are going to work in person 808. let's get back to the desk, sal. >> thank you. a big change coming to fire protection in the southern part of santa clara county. with the end of a contract with cal fire. and a merger in fire departments. means for residents.

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. >> airbnb is facing a discrimination lawsuit after a woman says she was denied a stay because she has children. the lawsuit filed in federal court in san francisco, where where airbnb is based, says the woman was denied a long term stay in huntsville, alabama, by a host who said the apartment was not suitable for children. when the woman responded that her children are nine, 11 and 14, and that it was illegal to discriminate against people with children, the host didn't respond. in a statement to us, airbnb did not comment on the lawsuit and said that discriminating on the basis of familial status is prohibited. >> 817 we do have the traffic beginning to get just a little bit better on some of these commutes as the mass has gone

through, although 817 right now, you can see it's still backed up at the bay bridge toll plaza. it may be better by 845, maybe earlier. we'll see. as you look at interstate 880, it is slowing down from about the coliseum to downtown. and southbound 880 is still slow into fremont. yesterday the peninsula was a mess. today it's a lot more normal. some slow traffic. likewise for the south bay. pretty normal slowing there. 817 let's talk about the weather now. here's steve. >> well, it's a short subject here today, so there's not a lot going on. as you know, we had a couple one upper 20 today that i saw, boulder creek 29. we had a lot more yesterday but still cold enough. hollister, campbell, lafayette, fairfax, saratoga, stanford and danville all between 30 and 34 cold degrees. san francisco climate data for january 15th to 29. again, we had that yesterday and today. second coldest ever 62. 45. the forecast. high average 58 4773. the record high in

2009. that 29, as we mentioned yesterday, that ties for the second coldest have happened in 1888 on the 14th and 15th. but on december 11th, 1932 27, that is the coldest low recorded for san francisco. and it was a snow day, an official snow day as well. just shy of an inch of snow fell. boy, this is a dry. not only us, southern california. i saw national weather service in flagstaff sent out some information. it's their driest. prescott's driest, driest. so we have company here. at least we're the third driest. so not our driest was 2015 when not a drop fell. and then 2014 only 6/100. but i'll tell you, i just don't see anything here unless something develops. end of the month here. we still get that easterly breeze. not strong but it's there. and that's going to equal some mild temps later today. we start off cold and a mild key though is what's going to happen in the middle of the country here going into sunday, monday and tuesday, 30s, 40s to 50 down in southern california,

39 las vegas. they as well, i think they've gone 185 days without any measurable rain. and this high is just once a pattern locks in. they are just you have to change the entire hemispheric pattern to really get this to change. so cold mornings, mild afternoons. if you like this kind of pattern, then enjoy same old song and dance. there's nothing really going on. occasionally gets a little easterly breeze, 60s on the highs, maybe cooler to colder by the weekend. early next week you guys. >> thank you steve. coming up, what could be a lifeline for uninsured fire survivors? the relief option now available for los angeles county families and business owners o 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.

research says people are spending more time at home. >> a study from clemson university finds more people are embracing that homebody lifestyle. so many of us were forced into during the pandemic. since 2019, activities outside the house are down by about an hour a day. of course, some employees continue to work from home, but the study also found that people are spending less time outside socializing. researchers are proposing some possible changes to future infrastructure projects, such as combining living space with shops and restaurants to accommodate the trend. so this morning, we've been asking if you've become a homebody. the largest group of you say, yup, the couch is my best friend forever 68%. the next largest group, about a quarter, say, kind of about the same. only 9% of you say you are out there and living it up. make those numbers

change by weighing in. scan the qr code at the top right of your screen, or head on out to ktvu.com/vote. >> i want to see solitude. there's nothing wrong with it. but they do say for longer life, people that live longer have social lives. those social connections can keep you going. going for sure. all right, let's move to this now. good news on inflation and the economy. and for some of the big banks, it's driving a rally on wall street. >> cook upstairs here in interesting dollars and cents today. >> some good news. and you know what stocks benefited from all of us staying at home stocks like home depot. yes they do make our homes. you did a lot of that. i did a lot of home projects. still do. this morning 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 sent the dow up about 600 points, the nasdaq up by more than 300 points right when that opening bell rang this morning before the bell rang this morning. also some great news from some of the biggest banks jp morgan chase, wells fargo,

goldman sachs all posted strong quarterly numbers, thanks in part to some higher fees and an increase in m&a activity. that's merger and acquisition business. all right. taking a live look. the dow jones has pretty much held steady since that opening bell rang this morning. up about 1.5%. the s&p 500 up close to 100 points. more than 1.5%. the nasdaq, the biggest winner, up 400 points. that's more than 2% gain for the nasdaq this morning. now, the interest rate for the most popular home loan rose to more than 7% last week. the 30 year mortgage went up for the fifth straight week and hit its highest level since may 2024, data from the mortgage bankers association shows. since september, home financing costs have increased nearly a full percentage point. mortgage brokers say the trend is discouraging potential buyers who are already facing rising home prices and limited supply. well, as wildfires continue to burn around southern california,

one government agency is some relief for business and homeowners. the small business administration is giving low interest emergency loans to businesses, homeowners, renters and nonprofits. does follow president biden's disaster declaration. it's also one of the few relief options for those in los angeles who do not have fire insurance or who are underinsured. people can apply for that disaster assistance through fema. california newborns could be coming home from the hospital with some free diapers. if an initiative in the government's budget passes, the diaper initiative would set aside $7 million in this year's budget, it would also allocate 13 million the following year to provide a three month supply of diapers to families of new babies, regardless of income. the last time around, newsom vetoed a bill to expand the state's distribution, so that does still need the governor's signature on that, i'm pam cook. that's a look at your dollars

and cents. >> pam, thank you so much. the city of oakland has land worth more than $100 million. and a group of people who want to take it off their hands. the new chapter in the long awaited sale of the coliseum.

in alameda with the building's neighbors hope to see as the city gets ready to hear from prospective buyers and developers. >> then it became apparent that, like we needed to do something. >> 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. >> bay area restaurateur is doing what they can to help southern california firefighters and displaced residents. why they say what they're doing goes to the very core of their mission. in good times and bad. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm andre senior. thank you for joining us. today is wednesday january 15th. if you stepped outside just yet you notice a little bit cooler outside. it's been the same thing we've been dealing with for the last few days. meteorologist steve paulson joins us this morning with a look at your forecast. >> the forecast is pretty easy. it will be sunny for everyone. here. we'll go back and take a look at the high temps in san

francisco. now of course january when you don't get rain, you're probably favoring above average temperatures and going back to last thursday. that's true. these were the high temps 68, 65, 66, 65. last two days come down a little bit 62. but the average high temp for january 15th is 58. so we've been above. and it makes sense. we're not getting any rain 30s and 40s on the temps here. the low has been pretty close to average here some below inland. but the coast has been pretty close to average. and that's that east wind right there. there's just not much we can do. and the high pressure man this is just i just don't i think we're going out with our third driest january on record. this is kind of the way it looks for san francisco here and for many as well. 60s above average. once again the city 62. that will be three days in a row. sal is here. 831 good. bad. indifferent. better. same. >> it's. it's about the same. yeah. it's better today in the south bay. steve. i'll say that much. yesterday we had a bunch of issues. today it is slow. don't get me wrong, but it's

more along the lines of regular, slow traffic. i went to the richmond bridge by accident here, but i might as well talk about it improving. we had a much earlier accident. finally, we're beginning to see improvement. i wanted to go this way to the peninsula because there's a new crash southbound 101 at woodside road. remember yesterday we had that very slow traffic condition? it's not quite as bad as that, but there is some slowing. there's also some slowing in san mateo and of course, at the bay bridge, everyone always wants to know, is it getting better yet? is it getting better yet? well, it's getting a little better. it's backed up to about the end of the parking lot, so it's improving. 831 let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you sal. the city of alameda is taking the next steps in repurposing a historic building at the former naval air station. >> it is called building 92. ktvu ali rasmus spoke to people about what it could become in the future. good morning. ali. >> good morning. well, it could become a new brewery or any type of business. we really don't know. what we do know is that building 92 is for sale. and

while it may not look impressive from the outside, there's a lot of potential here. there's got it's got about 90,000ft!s of space over three acres. and this building has a long history here on alameda point. it was built back in 1942, in the middle of world war two, back when this whole area was a working naval air station. now, alameda city leaders want to hear from prospective buyers and developers about how they would repurpose this building. it's located at alameda point on west ranger avenue. it used to be the home of the alameda food bank, and they're still here for the next couple of weeks, but then they're going to be moving to a new location across the street. so starting this week, the city will start taking proposals from developers who want to buy and repurpose this space. the city council gets to approve that sale based on those proposals. their priority is something that will provide jobs and add a sense of community. here. >> we first of all have to acknowledge that it is a contributing historic structure, and so it has to stay in place,

but it can be adaptively reused. 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 materials you only find back in the early 1900s. this building would have to be some sort of business, not housing. since it's a historic building, the developer would also have to follow specific guidelines. for instance, they would not be allowed to tear the structure down. the asking price hasn't been disclosed, but other former naval base buildings here at

alameda point have sold in the millions in the past decade. building 91 next door, which houses the almanac beer company, was bought in 2017 for about 2.8 million. now the timeline over the next few weeks and until april, the city of alameda will accept proposals from prospective buyers and then city council will make a decision by summer or fall of this year. when it comes to which proposal to accept and what this building becomes next. live in alameda. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. thank you. >> allie. right across the estuary, the sale of the oakland coliseum has passed a key hurdle. the alameda county board of supervisors approved the terms of a deal that would give control of its portion of the coliseum site to the african american sports and entertainment group. the process has taken years. the city and the a's, who shared ownership, had to agree to sell some bond issues in a lawsuit had to be resolved, and the county had to sign off. while alameda county has already sold its portion of the coliseum, it still had control of the rest of the site. >> this is, as i understand it,

the first public piece of legislation that the county board of supervisors has approved to say, we want this deal to happen and we want the assignment assigning the county's portion of the sale to the entity that has proposed this transformative development out in east oakland. we want that to happen within 30 days. so this is a huge step forward. >> there are still a few steps to go here. lawyers for each side have to finalize the agreement. bonds need to be paid. as it stands, oakland would receive $95 million for its share of the coliseum by may 30th, which would help with the city's budget issues. >> obviously, we're all local and we want to see things better, you know. and so if we can, we're going to try to get this. we're going to move as quickly as we possibly can. so but it is a very complex, large transaction. and there's just i mean, it's really hard to describe the level of paperwork and, you know, the documents and

just the things you have to go through and due diligence. it's pretty massive. >> once the transaction is complete, site planning for the future of the coliseum complex will be able to begin. >> all right. another round of dangerous fire weather and dry conditions forecast for southern california today. because of those conditions, power has preemptively shut off to thousands of people amid those high winds. and this comes as the death toll has increased to 25 since yesterday. containment for the palisades fire, now at 19%. the eaton fire, 45% contained los angeles county and city leaders are providing updates on the wildfires burning in southern california. >> the los angeles county fire chief anthony moroney, said there are nearly 3400 firefighters still battling the flames, and that the fight is far from over. >> critical fire weather conditions will continue through this evening. the anticipated 70 mile an hour winds have yet to materialize. however, this could

change and we are still at risk. >> the los angeles county sheriff also mentioned they're investigating 26 active missing persons reports. 20 of them are in the fire of the eaton fire area. six are in the palisades fire area. >> meantime, dramatic new video this morning showing the firefight from the sky. what you're seeing here. pilots flying their choppers into the heart of the flames. video showing here, captured by coulson aviation from inside the cockpit of one of its aircrafts. by day and night, these crews enter the battle ready for precision water drops. coulson aviation is a canadian company contracted year round to help fight fires in southern california. >> federal firefighters are working alongside state and local crews. the u.s. forest service is providing thousands of firefighters from seven states, along with five air tankers, ten firefighting helicopters, dozens of fire engines. hope you're with us. at the beginning of this hour, when we spoke with a forest service

spokesperson who said the weather is impacting their efforts, our biggest air tankers are not quite as impacted by wind, but they certainly can be impacted by visibility. >> now. we've had very good success over the past few days. we haven't seen any growth overnight on either the eaton or the palisade fire, so that's a really good sign, she says. >> firefighters from seven different states are on the ground. they're focused on pre-positioning resources based on weather patterns. they're more bay area businesses stepping up to help wildfire survivors. in southern california. there are several fundraising events to support multiple relief efforts. one san francisco restaurant is bringing back its bake bake sale, which has helped support other causes in the past. the chef there says all proceeds will now go to help feed thousands of evacuees and first responders on the ground 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. >> several bars in the bay area are also donating a portion of their sales to support relief efforts. >> today, president biden is scheduled to deliver his farewell address to the nation. a preview of his remarks was just released this morning. he tells the nation, 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 still the case. end quote. the speech from the oval office is scheduled for 5:00 in the evening. biden will fly out of washington, dc at noon next monday, marking the end of his more than 50 year career in politics. >> first lady jill biden is spending some of her final days in office in the bay area advocating for women's health. first lady spoke with the health care conference that coincides with the j.p. morgan healthcare conference in san francisco. she advocated for more 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 in particular, and to gain a deeper understanding of menopause and treatment. doctor biden said she plans to continue her push for more research into women's health once she and her husband leave the white house. >> a legal battle by a bay area woman against sean diddy combs may be in jeopardy. the reason her case could be

for you this morning. three men are in court right now. they're accused of being involved in a freeway shooting in 2023 that killed a five year old girl. she was shot and killed while riding in a car with her family on interstate 880, in fremont. this is the highest profile case involving the alameda county district attorney's office since the recall of former da pamela price. >> city leaders in alameda want to bring new life to alameda point. and so this week, its leaders will start hearing proposals from developers who want to buy a historic building near the former naval air station. a business and not housing is the preferred future use of the site. the goal is to create more jobs while using the space to develop a sense of

community in the growing neighborhood. less than nine hours from now, president biden is scheduled to deliver his final address to the nation. then next monday, donald trump will be sworn in as commander in chief. there are a number of hearings scheduled for president elect trump's cabinet appointments. today's hearings include florida senator marco rubio for secretary of state and pam bondi for attorney general. >> happening today is hearings for president elect trump's cabinet nominees continue. it appears one of mr. trump's most controversial cabinet nominees will be able to earn enough support from the senate. former fox news host and military veteran pete hegseth faced four hours of questioning during his first hearing. he's the president elect's choice to run the pentagon. democrats grilled hegseth over accusations of sexual assault, alcohol abuse and financial mismanagement. >> you entered into an nda and paid a person who accused you of raping her. >> yes or no? did you lead an audit? yes or no? completely mischaracterized. you've never led an audit. a small handful of anonymous sources were allowed

to drive a smear campaign. because i'm a change agent and a threat to them. >> hegseth can afford to lose only three republican senators. republican senator joni ernst of iowa previously seemed ready to vote against him. yesterday, she announced her support. a vote is expected early next week. a new survey shows that most americans have doubts about federal law enforcement agencies under the incoming trump administration, according to a poll from the associated press, about 1 in 5 u.s. adults is confident the justice department will act fairly while mr. trump is in office. the report also says most americans do not approve of the president elect's cabinet picks and have a more negative than positive view of key nominees. >> at 846, a former antioch police officer pleaded guilty to several charges that include conspiracy to injure, threaten and intimidate residents. eric brown confessed to his role in a massive law enforcement corruption scandal in a deal with federal prosecutors. investigators say he conspired with other colleagues to preplan

violence and give false police reports, not report uses of force, and deprive 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 began back in 2023. well, a judge in federal judge says a federal lawsuit filed by a bay area woman against rapper sean diddy combs may be dismissed. a woman filed that suit last october, saying combs and his entourage sexually assaulted her in orinda back in 2018. now, by law, she had to serve combs and two other co-defendants with the suit within 90 days, but the judge says the deadline is past. she now has until february 14th to show proof of service. her attorney says that because combs is being held in jail in new york, they have so far been unable to serve him with those papers. >> so you have a process server who can be anybody who has a license to process serve. but those are for people on the outside. when you have people on the inside, it's a different process. >> if the plaintiff misses the

deadline, she could potentially refile the lawsuit. in october, the contra costa county sheriff's office said that a report was taken back in 2018 after an investigation. detectives determined the claims were unfounded. >> a possible tiktok ban in the coming days has many users of that app scrambling to find a new home. it's also impacting small business owners who use the app to connect with customers. countless small businesses use tiktok to engage with customers, sell products and services. instagram and other social media apps offer similar tools for businesses, but users say tiktok's algorithm is built so accounts with fewer followers can still reach thousands of people. with a video talk, anyone can go viral. >> anybody can have that moment. >> time to shift gears when look into maybe some of the platforms that we had not invested so much in and learn, you know, how what do we need to do to boost those videos on those other platforms? >> the deadline for tiktok's china based parent company to sell the app is this sunday. otherwise, it will be banned in

the u.s. we'll note that tiktok has not indicated it plans to sell. a california filmmaker accuses disney of stealing his story about polynesian culture to make the moana franchise. buck woodall is suing disney for copyright infringement. he says parts of moana and moana two have breathtaking similarities to his script. bucky the wave warrior. woodall is seeking at least $10 million in damages, plus 2.5% of gross revenues from moana two and merchandizing, which could be worth another $5 billion. >> all right. it's almost 849 now, and one california city is considered one of the safest places to live in the nation. personal finance website money geek recently ranked the 25 safest small cities and towns in the u.s. based on crime rates. here's a look at that list. columbia, indiana came in number one. it was followed by wallingford, connecticut, then lone peak, utah. zionsville, indiana. and the safest city in our state is a mountain town in southern california called rancho santa margarita. it came in at number 15 on that list.

>> time now is 849. we have improvement. finally, it's almost nine. but who? we have improvement at the bay bridge. it is backing up to the end of the parking lot. if you wait a little longer, it might even be completely backed up or gone. that backup. you can still see that there are some trouble spots in the bay area. 680 is a little slow from concord to walnut creek because of an earlier crash in pleasant hill. 80 is slow from a carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze, so still plenty of slow traffic all over the place, including the peninsula richmond bridge finally getting better. 849 let's bring steve back with today's weather. >> thank you kindly, my friend. yes, sir. thank you kindly. all right. boulder creek, what about it? 29 this morning. 29. hollister was close at 30 campbell lafayette. fairfax, 32, saratoga. stanford, 33, and danville, 34. san ramon was in there. orinda was 33. there were many around san francisco. climate data. the most rain on

this date was in 1878, when it was an inch and almost two inches of rain fell. but again, the record high 73, 2009. the record low back to back days when it was january 14th and 15th in 1888. however, that was if you missed this yesterday, that was not the coldest low recorded for the city. 29 twice 1888 january 14th 15th, but 27 on december 11th, 1932. not only was that the coldest low, it was a snow day, an official snow day. they had almost an inch of snow. boy, i'll tell you, san francisco this january, though, is how dry i am. my goodness, next rain. i don't see any. seems like more of the same. maybe end of the month, but right now there's nothing that says, hey, it's going to rain. so we are currently the third driest on record. the driest was ten years ago when not a drop fell, and the year before that, 20 2014 was the second driest. so right now we are in third driest category. and i think that's safe for now. so if you're not getting any rain, temperatures must be above average for the last six days. san francisco going back to

thursday. 68, 65, 6665. came down a little bit monday. tuesday 62. but average high temp 5758. so they've been above and they'll probably be above again today. there's just nothing changing yet. i mean there's a lot of 30s 40s on the temps. we end up with mild afternoons. that high is built in the low retrograded. but there could be a series of them kind of clipping us over the next few days. they're called inside sliders. they mainly favor the sierra nevada, then form a low off southern california. i don't really see much changing here. same old song and dance. we could see some cold air kind of filtering in here. maybe sunday, monday and tuesday. the arctic plunge will be the big story in most of the country, but there could be a little bit of that kind of making an impact for us. 60s on the temps here, but really, except for cold morning lows and high temps, they'll be starting to come down. there's no rain in sight, you guys. >> all right steve, thank you so much. 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 last weekend to bring adoptable pets to the
