[music] >> plus, with just a few days left in his term, president

biden will address the nation for the final time tonight. what we've learned. he's expected to say about what he calls the soul of america. >> then the city of alameda, one step closer to repurposing its historic naval base. what it could become and how locals feel about the potential transformation. [music] >> live from jack london square. this is mornings on two. >> the nine. >> today is wednesday, january 15th, and we're looking live at a picture of the bay bridge and the city in the background. it's unfortunate that the weather is so nice this time of year. sometimes you feel guilty for having nice days when we do really need the rain. firefighters are facing another day of dangerous, windy conditions as they work to maintain their progress in the deadly palisades and eaten wildfires. a red flag warning is in effect today through this afternoon, and conditions threaten explosive fire growth. >> already, the palisades fire

has burned 24,000 plus acres. it only started last tuesday. there's a little bit of good news this morning. it's 19% contained. that's up 1% since yesterday. >> firefighters continue to gain containment on the eaton fire two, which has burned a total of 14,000 acres. containment there 45%. that is up 10% from last night. firefighters hope to maintain those numbers as the national weather service issues a rare, political, particularly dangerous situation. fire warning here for areas in la and ventura counties. gusty winds paired with low humidity and dry fuel threatening to fanned new flames or even undo the progress made on the palisades, 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. powers preemptively been shut off to thousands of customers. some 82,000 people remain under evacuation orders, but officials are urging people to be ready to go now, just in case evacuation orders are

expanded. the los angeles county sheriff says there are still 26 active missing persons cases they are investigating 20 in the eaton fire area, six in the area of the palisades fire. >> 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. it's active, not easy work. >> law enforcement is also watching over abandoned neighborhoods as looters try to take advantage of the situation. 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. >> so as those firefighters there come together to help and fight against the southern california fires, others are stepping in to help the firefighters themselves. communities around the country are participating in fundraising efforts to help fire victims, and the firefighters who are working around the clock to contain those deadly wildfires. 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 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 and healthy meals. reminder. if you want to help, you can join fox's support of families impacted 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 visit ktvu.com/wildfire to help to make a financial donation. >> the city of alameda is taking the next steps to repurpose a historic building at the former naval air station. ktvu sally rasmus spoke to people about building 92, what it could become in the future, and what leaders and the neighbors say they hope to see there. ali.

>> well, sal, it's a historic building. it is built back in 1942. and while it may not look that impressive, there's a lot of space here. it's got about 90,000ft!s, and it is for sale. alameda city leaders want to hear from prospective buyers and developers about how they would repurpose and reuse this building. it's located at alameda point on west ranger avenue, next to the popular almanac beer company and studio lofts apartments. it's right now housing the alameda food bank, but in a couple of months, they're going to be moving to a new location across the street. starting this week, the city will start accepting proposals from developers who want to buy it and turn this building into something new. the city council gets to approve that sale based on those proposals, and they would like it to house some sort of business or businesses. it's not going to turn into 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 what it looks like on 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 have sold in the millions. building 91 next door, 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 specific guidelines about how they repurpose the building. for example, they would not be able to just tear the building down. the structure would have to remain more or less intact when it comes to the timeline, the city of alameda will accept those proposals through april, and then the city council could make a decision about what happens next here by late summer or early fall. live in alameda. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. thank you. >> ali. gorgeous blue skies behind ali there in alameda. that's pretty much the story for

the entire bay area. according to our meteorologist steve paulson. >> that is true. i am seeing wind speeds picking up a lot though, in malibu. just so you know, malibu hills, 53mph on the beach, 32 in malibu, 45. and about 50 up in the san gabriel mountains. there's a couple of things here to talk about. one will be not yet, but this will be sunday, monday and tuesday. there will be an arctic plunge that will do this and do this, and it will be brutal. there will be some incredible wind chills and cold temps. some of the ten day outlooks then kind of follow up with one a little bit more this way. now, you know we'll see. but we could be getting in on a little bit of colder air, more so than what we've had. unfortunately, there just does not look to be anything that says, hey, you're going to get rain. 29 boulder creek, hollister, campbell, lafayette, fairfax, saratoga, stanford and danville, all between 29 and 34 degrees this morning. there were a lot. oh, boy. i'll tell you, we are hard pressed to find any rain on january 3rd. last time we had

over a 10th and i don't see anything. there's really nothing showing up on the seven and ten day outlooks. maybe 30 or 30 somewhere around there. currently we are the third driest january on record. the driest. we didn't get a drop was just ten years ago. second driest was 11 years ago. so january kind of trending now either all or nothing. and this so far looking like nothing but not not the most temperatures. as you might imagine, if you're not getting rain, they must be above average. well, they have been in san francisco going back to last thursday, 68, 65, 66, 65. last two days came down a little bit, 62 and 62. but the average high temp for january about oh, you know, the ninth through the 15th is 57 to 58 degrees. so above no doubt offshore breeze. it's not a wind but it's a breeze at least for us. mainly 40s now on the temps. but this will translate into 60s on the highs will be above average on the highs and this high is just not budging anytime soon. and the pattern is one that does favor maybe some more wind for us. now the forecast models are not in sync, but maybe on monday we could have

another round of offshore wind, not only here, but also maybe monday night tuesday in southern california. same old song and dance though. sunny side up, mild afternoon. that's the good news. a little east breeze. but boy these temps drop fast 60s on the highs. after today i think we start dropping on these high temps. could get downright windy and cold around here late sunday into early next week you guys. >> steve thank you. new research says people are spending more time at home. the study from clemson university finds more people are embracing the homebody lifestyle that started in the early months of the pandemic. since 2019, activities outside the house are down by about an hour a day. of course, many people still work from home, but the study also finds people are spending less time out and about socializing. researchers are proposing some possible changes to future infrastructure projects, such as combining living space with shops and restaurants to accommodate the trend. we've been asking you about this all morning long and boy, you have been responding. it looks like most of you say the couch is your best friend forever. yep, lots of downtime, 70% there. the

next largest group is far behind. 21% of you say you're doing about the same amount of stuff you used to do. 9% of you say you're out there living it up, making up for that lost time in the first couple of years of the pandemic. you can make numbers change by scanning the qr code top right. of course, head out to k tv.com/vote. i know we talked a lot about revenge travel. people saying, well, i couldn't fly in, you know, 20 or 21, but now i'm out there. my answer to this is i am doing fewer things, but when i go out i'm doing them big. >> like you go big. >> i'm not just like my sister is taking me to the ballet, right? we're also going to dinner. we may have a hot chocolate afterwards. so if i'm out of the house and dressed and wearing makeup, then i'm like, let's just make the most of it. >> well, that makes sense. >> once you're out, you're out, right? yes. but i think during the pandemic, a lot of people made their homes a little nicer. they got or bigger to bigger, or perhaps they even got a nicer tv because they had to be inside. and now it's like, well, you know what? my living room is nice. now i'm going to stay in.

>> yeah. what's wrong with it? yeah. nothing at all. yeah, i'm getting out too. yeah, i'm spending my money instead of going out. out. >> you know, just like going to the bar. invite some friends over the bar. >> yeah, yeah. you know, i'll travel a little bit more. yeah, that's kind of my thing now. >> yeah, i like it, i like it good for sure. >> i'm growing up now. i'm becoming an adult. look at you. look what happened. are we some breaking news just into the newsroom right now? major progress in that war between israel and hamas. that deal we've been talking about coming up on mornings on two, the nine, the cease fire deal just reached between both sides. that just coming in right now. we're going to break it all down for you and find out what it means for the hostages. >> also ahead, hearings for president elect trump's cabinet ramp up on capitol hill. i'm rebecca casto in

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.

into the newsroom. now, within the last few minutes, we've learned that a ceasefire between israel and hamas has been reached. a last minute snag reported earlier today by the associated press appears to now be resolved. but like all things between israel, palestine and hamas, the question remains will the cease fire deal hold in a tenuous situation between these two groups, there is a three phase plan as part of this cease fire deal. so joining us now is stephen zunes, an international politics professor at the university of san francisco. first professor, i just want to get your reaction to the

announcement of a deal being reached in a ceasefire between israel and hamas. >> well, certainly, if it does end, end up being an end to the war, that would be great news. tens of thousands of civilians have died, and it has isolated israel and the united states, the international community, and, you know, the havoc and destruction is just has been horrific. so any kind of reprieve, even a temporary one would be a good one. good, a good development. >> 15 month war. yeah. go ahead. >> the problem is that this is apparently a pause for now. whether there's a second and third phase, which may be more tricky to implement, but at least for a time, the suffering will will end for a time. >> all right. so let's go over the first phase of this draft as we know it right now has been previously reported here. hamas would release 33 hostages,

including female civilians and soldiers, children and civilians over 50. and then israel would release 30 palestinian prisoners for each civilian hostage and 50 for each female soldier. halt the fighting. israeli forces move out of populated areas to the edge of the gaza strip, and displaced palestinians can begin returning home. more aid will be able to enter the strip. all right, so this is the first phase of it. what is your take by hearing that this this deal was announced, a cease fire deal was announced. and hearing about the details of the first phase will certainly be a relief for the for the israeli hostages and their families. >> also for many palestinians, because let's remember that in addition to terrorists and people who've fought israel, that the vast majority of those detained by israel are actually nonviolent palestinians who've not been charged with any crime, the palestinians consider them hostages as well. so obviously be welcome for their families

and the like. and the being able to resume aid would be a huge deal, because palestinians have literally been starving and freezing to death because of the blockade of necessary humanitarian aid. but there are problems are going to remain, including israeli troops will remain in parts of gaza. and for many palestinians, not just those who support the hamas, that is obviously problematic. >> professor, we're talking here just to so people can understand the magnitude of this. 90% of gaza's 2.3 million people have been displaced by this 15 month war. so that is how many people we're talking about that are not getting much aid right now, are chased away from their homes. so that is effectively what this could solve here in the future. but there still remains this underlying issue between both sides here. israel does not want hamas in power ruling over that

territory. so there is that issue. so do you expect things to break down. and there of course, is the issue of, of hamas not wanting israel in palestinian territory. israel has encroached on the territory. they've built military bases in the northern part of the gaza strip. what's your take on all of that? >> well, hamas is not popular even among palestinians. and, you know, there is a legitimate concern about them having any kind of continued leadership. the problem, of course, is that israel's been unable to defeat them militarily because it is hamas is more than just an armed group. they are a de facto government. and they do have a they do have something of a popular base, albeit a minority one. the problem, though, of course, is that the more palestinians israel is killed, it's creating more fighting. there are actually more people, more palestinians fighting gaza, fighting israelis in gaza than there were at the time the war launched. and these aren't people who necessarily support

hamas terrorism or the reactionary ideology, but they don't like the fact that their their land is being invaded and their people are being bombed. so, so and so we've seen as the professor, though, of this, is this the approach that israel has been taking. >> now, we don't know the minute details here, but the approach of, of military invasion of the land. there is this as someone who studies this really the wrong approach for israel? >> yeah, very much so. i mean, you think of israel's invasion of lebanon in 1982 led directly to the rise of hezbollah, just like the us invasion of iraq led to the rise of isis and the soviet invasion of afghanistan, you know, led to the rise of al qaeda, that these kinds of massive military operations ended up killing more civilians than terrorists, and to creating more terrorists. and really, the ultimately what has to happen is that the occupation must end. there must be a viable palestinian state alongside israel. but for now, the urgent thing is to end the suffering

and make sure that some kind of ceasefire can hold. >> so with with that said about, you know, how israel is approaching battling hamas here, what do you see the ceasefire continuing making it to phase two and then eventually to phase three? and by the way, these are separated by, i think 42 days each. phase one, the first 42 days, phase two, 42 days, and then the third phase comes after that. >> well, this has definitely been a lose lose situation for both sides. and that, and not only have the palestinians, you know, lost tens of thousands of civilian lives, quite a few israeli soldiers have died. israel has been in a constant state of war. they are more isolated than ever from the international community and its radicalized elements of the palestinian population, who who for the majority of which were open to a two state solution and now are more are more and more skeptical that that might even be possible. so it's clearly in the interest of both sides to, to end the killing. and but it's hard to even think about longer

term solutions to the conflict if people are continuing to suffer and die at this at this level. so but the good thing is, is oftentimes when you have a temporary pause like this, when people are able to breathe. people can finally start looking at, you know, the more the interim steps that need to be taken that will end the israeli occupation of gaza, have some semblance of authority, legitimate authority restored in gaza, and that the rebuilding can begin. >> i want to ask you this real quick. we only have a few seconds left here, but in this outline, i didn't see anywhere where israel is demanding maybe the arrest of those who participated in the attack that led to this 15 month war on the festival. when hamas raiders went into israel and kidnaped all those people because those hostages are still there, i think nearly 100. but some of them may have indeed passed away by now, but i don't see in the outline any responsibility toward the hamas fighters. like,

is hamas going to turn over the folks that took part in that in that day? >> well, neither israel nor palestine, the palestinians are in a position that they can prosecute war criminals in either side. the international court of justice, of course, has indicted both israelis and palestinians who were who they suspect of engaging in war crimes. but that's something that's going to, unfortunately, have to take only on the international level, because neither side really has the capability of such such prosecutions through their own court systems. >> all right. professor stephen zunes from the university of san francisco, always interesting to talk to you. and of course, i'm sure it won't be the last time because, you know, this thing is going in three phases and we'll have to see. it's always tenuous dealing with issues between in the middle east in that part of the world. we appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. all right. >> coming up on mornings on two, the nine, you'll find it in candy, drinks and so much more.

but now the fda is taking action to officially ban red dye number three nationwide. [music] >> also ahead, south korea's president is now in police custody after weeks of defying court orders and arrest warrants on greg palkot in

xfinity internet customers, ask how to get an unlimited line free for a year, plus a free 5g phone. they not like us? they not like us. [music] they not like us. >> probably know the song by now from kendrick lamar called not like us. the artist released this diss track against drake

last year. well, this morning, drake filed a defamation lawsuit claiming their shared label, universal music group, spread the, quote, false and malicious narrative that drake is a pedophile. he's claiming umg promoted the track for financial gain and accuses the label of undermining his brand for leverage in contract negotiations. drake is not suing kendrick lamar directly. >> the judge says a federal lawsuit filed by a bay area woman against rapper sean diddy combs may be dismissed. she filed the suit last october, saying combs and his entourage sexually assaulted her at her home in orinda back in 2018. by law, she had to serve combs and two other co-defendants of the suit within 90 days. that deadline, of course, had passed. the judge extended the deadline. she now has until february 14th to show proof that they've served combs. the plaintiff misses this deadline. she could potentially refile in october. the contra costa county sheriff's office said a report was taken in 2018, and after an investigation, detectives determined the claims were unfounded. >> capital one is being sued by a u.s. watchdog. the lawsuit

alleges the bank misled customers about its high interest savings accounts and cheated them out of more than $2 billion in lost interest payments as a result. the consumer financial protection bureau claims despite capital one promoting 360 savings as an account that provides high interest rates, the bank froze its rate at a low level for the last several years. capital one says it disagrees with the agency's claim and says it will defend itself in court. >> three people believed to be responsible for a freeway shooting that killed a five year old are appearing in court in just moments. next on the nine how a recent recall by voters could affect the outcome of this case, and why the victim's family says it's afraid justice won't be served. >> plus, millions of people remain on edge as the last round of strong winds passes through the area. i'm connor hanson in los angeles county with a look

report we had for you just minutes ago in the middle east. israel and hamas have just agreed to a ceasefire deal to pause a 15 month war in gaza. we're able to bring you these live pictures now from tel aviv, israel. people gathering here upon hearing the news, mediators announced a deal earlier this morning following negotiations in qatar as part of the deal. hamas agrees to release dozens

of hostages. israel would release hundreds of palestinian prisoners. this would also allow humanitarian aid to make its way into gaza. the deal is expected to go into effect here in the coming days. we should note that we have yet to see and hear reaction from people here at home. so many people directly invested, carefully watching what's happening overseas here, feeling the toll on themselves and their families very deeply. so we wanted to bring this live picture to you from tel aviv, israel, as certainly this is major news, not just in this region but worldwide. we'll bring you more as we get it. we're also, of course, staying on top of the southern california wildfires as crews are facing another day of dangerous, windy conditions. >> the high winds could make it difficult to make progress on the deadly wildfires that have torn through los angeles county. >> fox's connor hansen is in la this morning with the latest on the situation. >> more than 6 million people in southern california facing a critical fire threat as another round of strong winds moves through the area wednesday. cal fire says it's ready to respond

and on tuesday stopped several new fires from spreading. >> we have over 5000 firefighters on this fire alone for 540 rigs, 115 camp crews, tons of dozers, aircraft, water tenders. we are fully ready to go. everybody is in position. >> firefighters are working around the clock to prevent any flare ups dropping flame retardant on dry hills and building containment lines, while utility companies are shutting off power to thousands of people to prevent their lines from sparking new flames. >> we understand that the shut off of the power can be of inconvenience to our residents, but we ask that you please be patient. >> the palisades and eaton fires are now two of the most destructive in southern california history. local firefighters were among the many to lose property, including captain al hugo, who says he and his wife lost their home of two decades in just minutes. >> a blowtorch through my city and i've never seen anything like it. >> thousands across the region,

now facing a long and expensive rebuild. >> just working through it. but, you know, we're glad that the community has helped us. >> forecasters say conditions will improve on thursday, finally giving crews a chance to contain these fires. in los angeles county, connor hansen ktvu, fox two news. >> well, this morning, dramatic new video showing the southern california firefight from the sky. pilots are flying their choppers into the heart of the flames. this video was 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. >> but federal firefighters working alongside state and local crews in the southland. u.s. forest service is providing thousands of crews from seven different states, along with five air tankers, ten

firefighting helicopters, dozens of fire engines. in the past hour or so. we spoke with the forest service spokesperson, who said how the weather is impacting the firefight. >> 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. >> he says. she says firefighters from seven different states are on the ground at the palisades and eaton. fires focused on pre-positioning resources based on weather patterns. >> thousands of homes have been destroyed in the palisades fires, and one of those homes belonged to a firefighter in altadena. al. hugo is a 32 year veteran and captain of the los angeles fire department. he was fighting devastating wildfires when he and his wife lost the home they had lived in for 20 years. >> you know, fire has never done what this did this it blow torch through my city. and i've never

seen anything like it. >> i can't even explain it. just thinking. i want to go home. i want to go home knowing there's no home to go to. >> the hugo family is currently living in the echo park area with his mom. they're hoping to find a place to call home. a gofundme page has been set up by their son. >> well, as wildfires continue to burn around southern california, one government agency is offering some relief for businesses and homeowners affected by all of this. the small business administration giving low interest emergency loans to businesses, homeowners and renters, and nonprofits, too. it follows president biden's major disaster declaration, and is one of the few relief options for those in los angeles who don't have insurance or are underinsured. residents can apply for disaster assistance through fema. >> happening now a bay area judge is hearing arguments in the case of three men accused of killing a little girl during a freeway shooting. the case may move forward here, as alameda county is still without a permanent district attorney.

ktvu james torres has details on the charges and more on why the victim's mother is calling for stiffer penalties. >> that girl, five year old eliana crisostomo. her mother says the girl's brother was sitting next to his sister when she was killed. at the time charges were filed. then district attorney pamela price added enhancements to the charges against the three men, but did not add special circumstances that would make the accused murderers eligible for life with the possibility of parole. eliana's mother told ktvu she hopes the next leadership within the da's office will 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. a judge will determine if and how the case will proceed to trial. those hearings will get underway right here at the county courthouse in dublin. we'll let you know what happens. reporting from dublin. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> three people were killed in a crash near gilroy after the driver lost control of their vehicle and hit another car. the fatal collision happened on shore road, west of lake road last night. chp says the driver was westbound on shore road when they lost control and crossed into opposing traffic, hitting another vehicle going east. the driver and two rear passengers were killed in the collision. the passenger of the vehicle that crossed into opposing traffic, and the solo driver of the other vehicle were airlifted to a hospital with critical injuries. the cause of the crash is under investigation. >> well, now to south korea, where the president of a key u.s. ally spent the night behind bars after he was detained in a high stakes legal battle. fox's

greg palkot has more from london. >> i grew up the political crisis in south korea escalated on wednesday, when some 3000 police officers arrived at the heavily fortified residence of yoon suk yeol and took the impeached president into custody. it all stems from his imposition of martial law last month, which only lasted a few hours but resulted in a major political backlash. now the president is spending the night at a detention center near seou, as prosecutors consider bringing charges of insurrection and unfortunately, the rule of law in this country has completely collapsed. >> i cannot help but feel deeply dismayed as i witnessed a court without proper jurisdiction issue arrest warrants. >> yoon says he's cooperating with what he calls an illegal investigation because he doesn't want bloodshed. but police had to scale the walls of his compound in order to arrest him, and he was a no show. at the first day of his impeachment hearing. >> yoon forced the authorities to issue detainment warrants.

he's been displaying an extreme attitude of contempt, humiliation and disregard toward the law. >> meanwhile, the president's supporters and critics have held competing protests near his residence for days. one side claiming he's the victim of a conspiracy, the other calling for him to step down immediately. >> the current situation is being used as a way to spread communism in south korea. >> i hope yoon takes responsibility and faces investigations and helps bring an end to this division. >> it's not clear how long yoon will remain in custody, but under south korean law, the leader of a rebellion can face the death penalty. in london, greg palkot, ktvu, fox two news. >> happening today, the ramp up to a return of the trump administration continues. five days before inauguration day, capitol hill is busy with cabinet confirmation hearings. as fox's rebecca castor reports, some nominees are expected to sail through. others seem to be more of a long shot. >> a busy day on capitol hill

with multiple confirmation hearings for president elect donald trump's cabinet nominees. florida senator marco rubio, who's up for secretary of state, received a warm, bipartisan welcome from his senate colleagues. he could be among the first trump cabinet members to be sworn in on inauguration day. >> under president trump, the top priority of the united states department of state will be the united states. >> i believe you have the skills and are well qualified to serve as secretary of state. >> attorney general nominee pam bondi also began her two day hearing today. she was pressed by democrats, but faces an easier road to confirmation than trump's first pick for ag, former congressman matt gaetz, who dropped out amid a storm of controversy. >> do you believe that those who have been convicted of the january 6th riot, violent assaults on our police officers should be pardoned? that's a simple question. >> so, senator, i have not seen any of those files. but let me

be very clear. in speaking to you, i condemn any violence on a law enforcement officer in this country. >> confirmation hearings got off to a fiery start yesterday with trump's defense secretary nominee, pete hegseth, fending off attacks from democratic senators. >> yes or no? did you lead an audit, yes or no? completely mischaracterized. you can't answer this question. yes or no. did you lead an audit? do you not know this answer, senator? yes or no? of my leadership of these organizations, yes or no? misrepresented. i will take that as a no. >> no one can be confirmed until donald trump takes office on january 20th. we expect the senate to vote on some nominees that evening. in washington, rebecca castor, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. making sense of your food labels coming up on mornings on two and nine. the new proposal from the fda, which aims to simplify nutrition with clear warnings, making healthy choices easier than ever. then we might be saying goodbye to the controversial body mass

index. [music] will the next plan that could. the next plan that could redefine. pardon me, i'm having some trouble speaking what is idered pete g. writes, "my tween wants a new phone. how do i not break the bank?" we got you, pete. xfinity mobile was designed to save you money

and gives you access to wifi speeds up to a gig. so you get high speeds for low prices. better than getting low speeds for high prices. right, bruce? -jealous? yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get an unlimited line free for a year, plus a free 5g phone.

fda has banned the use of red eye red dye number three. the dye is used in thousands of products, from candy to drinks and other food products. critics raised concerns about the dye being linked to health risks such as cancer. california became the first in the nation to bad red dye number three back in 2023. ten other states have since followed suit. a new proposal could change how obesity is defined and diagnosed. shifting focus away from the controversial body mass index. the recommendation suggests moving beyond bmi, which is a calculation of height and weight, and instead it would include other measurements such as waist circumference and health conditions linked to excess weight. obesity affects more than 1 billion people worldwide, and the cdc reports that 4 in 10 adults nationwide are classified as obese. >> the fda is proposing new nutrition labels for the front of food packages. the abbreviated labels would display levels of saturated fat, sodium,

and added sugar by displaying if the numbers are low, medium, or high. the agency says by making this information more readily available to shoppers, manufacturers would be encouraged to create healthier products. the proposal is facing opposition from the food industry, which says it prefers voluntary labeling. let's get some more insight by welcoming jacquelyn hackett, a lead dietitian and founder of hackett health. thanks for being with us. >> hi. thank you. thanks for having me. >> do you support the new labels? >> yeah, i think in terms of transparency and clarity for the consumer, the new labeling system will hopefully make it easier to just at a glance, pick a product. hey, is it good or is it bad? off off the bat without looking to the back? because the nutrition facts are a little bit confusing for a lot of people, even. >> you know, when you do look on the back and i do, i'll go to one of my favorite things that i'm trying to consume less of soda, you know, 40g of, of sugar in a soda. i know that's not

good. but if i'm told, oh, that's high, then it might hit me a little bit more. is that the thinking? >> yeah, definitely. i think it can really nudge individuals to choosing, you know. hey, is this something i'm going to have less often or something i can have on a daily basis, like the sugar in soda, for example. like what is what is 30, 40, 50g mean to somebody if you're not educated in nutrition? >> right. it's interesting. we were in mexico very briefly recently, and i got a, you know, the coke in the bottle with the real sugar. and my spanish isn't great, but i could understand it said excess calories, excess sugar right there on the bottle. and it did make me think twice. >> yeah, definitely. a lot of other countries i know chile, brazil, mexico. they have either like the stoplight traffic light system or they just have really simple low, medium, high big black label on the front to notify us, given what's out there now, whether or not this change takes place, how do you advise people to make better

choices? yeah, i think regardless, these are helpful things that can help the consumer to just if we're in a hurry really quickly trying to make a decision. but at the end of the day, we still have to educate around nutrition. nutrition education is not taught commonly in schools, and that's why working with a dietitian or reaching out for help to learn about more. because these excess nutrients like the sugar, sodium, and saturated fats are linked to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. so education is still, at its core, the most important of all to make informed, healthy choices. >> is there any danger of over labeling? it's going to save this on the front. it's going to have these numbers on the back. at a certain point. might people just tune out though? >> i could i could definitely see that. but i think the simpler the better, right? people don't want to have to spend a lot of time overanalyzing, so i think it would be beneficial. but again, people still need to understand what what do the label, the new

labels even mean when people don't even understand what the old labels exactly are clear for, right? >> like again, what's 40g of sugar? do you think companies would rework their products changing recipes to avoid, let's say, being in the high category for sugar, but instead medium is okay? >> yeah, i mean, definitely, i think sales could drop if, you know, they're not making these reformulations. but also note that just because they reformulate something doesn't equate to improved health outcomes, right? when the whole trans fat ban happened. well, people were low fat, low calorie. they're adding in something to replace that flavor. for example, artificial sweeteners, which aren't necessarily better choices, though it may say, hey, low in sugar. so again, we still have to be a conscious consumer. >> i have to say these companies are ten steps ahead of us. a long time ago, i always, you know, just by like the basic yellow box of cheerios, it happened that multigrain cheerios were on sale and i thought, okay, maybe i'll get those right. i happen to look at

the label and it turns out the multigrain cheerios have a lot of added sugar that you don't find in the plain yellow box. so i got what i usually get. >> yeah, again, checking, learning, comparing, just taking that extra moment to assess. really? >> yeah. i was so drawn to that sale price though i can't believe i resisted. all right. jacqueline hackett, founder of hackett health, thank you for joining us this morning. thank you, thank you. coming up on the nine here a big step forward for the effort to buy and redevelop the oakland coliseum site. what still has to be done to complete it. and when the city of oakland could see some budget relief from the resulting funds, then, as kitchen nightmares returns to fox on tuesdays, you have the chance to transform your own kitchen, similar to what we see gordon ramsay do on the show. enter the kitchen nightmares screams to dream sweepstakes for your shot at winning a 20 piece hexclad cookware and serving set. this is a dream for any home cook pots and pans, chef's knives, mixing bowls, so much more. and of course, watch kitchen nightmares tuesday at eight here on ktvu fox two and

of middle east. right now, israel and hamas have agreed to a cease fire deal to. pause the 15 month war in gaza. the details are still coming in, but we. are learning that the cease fire is set to take effect immediately. the first phase. will begin immediately. and that would mean releasing some of the hostages. during that phase. it's not clear when that part will begin. and in exchange. israel will give up some palestinian prisoners it currently has in custody. the deal still needs to be ratified by the israeli cabinet, but it's certainly an encouraging sign as both sides have finally reached

an agreement after working months in qatar, united states. part of the talks here to get this worked out. right now, the deal was announced and i talked to stephen zunes as this was happening. he's an international politics professor at the university of san francisco. here's what he told me just a few minutes ago. >> well, certainly, if it does end, end up being a an end to the war, that would be great news. tens of thousands of civilians have died, and it has isolated israel and the united states, the international community, and, you know, the havoc and destruction is just has been horrific. so any kind of reprieve, even a temporary one, would be a good one. >> so a major breakthrough here. judas went on to say, this appears to be the first phase of the ceasefire, and the second and third phase could be a little more tricky to implement. so we will definitely see what happens here. >> here at home, 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 agreed to sell some bond issues, and a lawsuit had to be resolved and the county had to sign off. while alameda county 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 more steps. 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. >> 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 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? >> the future of tiktok in jeopardy, andre. >> all right, the tiktok jeopardy! here in the u.s. for another app from china are skyrocketing. the app is called red note in english. it looks and feels very similar to tiktok. but one big difference here a lot of the content is in chinese and not english. even so, the 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. >> some american users of red note are even calling themselves

tiktok refugees, in a form of protest against tiktok being banned in the u.s. >> and 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. >> red note is also owned by chinese company. so two might be banned in the future. according to a report by tech publication the information, tiktok is preparing for an immediate shut off this sunday. if the supreme court allows the ban to go into place, that means the app could stop working for american users this weekend, and a lot of people are waiting to see what happens. but you know, right now it doesn't appear they're going to intervene. but you never know what's going to happen at the last minute. and as we reported yesterday, you won't lose. the app will still work on your phone, but it will start to diminish over time because you won't be able to get any updates anymore. right?

>> i've seen a lot of creators sort of make pleas on social media saying, this is how i make my living, this is how i support my family. i hope it doesn't go away. i hadn't heard of red note before this morning. >> so there's also another one called lemon eight. oh, i've heard that's also owned by bytedance as well. >> so the same problem. >> it's all it's all the same thing. so i don't know find out soon i guess we'll find out soon what happens instagram is at least based here- [music] tle bit. but it's not theund for same. many people don't. it is not. it's not the same at all right. >> it's like the reach you get with any who will go into this i'm sure in the newsroom we have to ake a >> three, two, one... it's showtime! >> ♪ we're gonna have a real good time ♪ ♪ feel good time ♪ ♪ spreading love and joy and laughter all over the place ♪ ♪ we're gonna have a good time ♪ ♪ we're gonna have a good time ♪ ♪ it will be so legendary ♪ ♪ sherri's got you feeling good ♪ >> announcer: and now, you
