situation that started long before bart service even starts. 345 this morning on eastbound highway four is when the chp says two people in an suv traveling at a high rate of speed just before bailey road lost control of their suv, and it ended up hitting the concrete barrier, crashing through a chain link fence and then landing on the bart tracks the tracks in both directions. a man in the vehicle was ejected. he died. the extent of the woman's injuries isn't known, but she was rushed to the hospital and, according to the chp, was conscious and able to communicate with emergency responders. the cause of the crash is under investigation, but the chp says neither of the two people were wearing seat belts. initially, bart representatives were concerned that the crash may have damaged the tracks. luckily, it did not. there's a cover board, according to bart, that protects the third rail on those tracks. that cover board was damaged, but the track itself was not. bart representatives say incidents like this are very unusual, and when serious car crashes like this do happen and end up on the

tracks, there's not much bart can do to prevent it. >> cars crashing into through a barrier and onto a bart track. i'd say it's happened about 3 to 4 times in the last decade. it's very rare. usually it's at extremely high speeds, so even the very significant barriers that are in place are already sometimes are just not preventable. >> by 630 this morning, a heavy duty tow truck with a crane was able to hoist that wrecked suv off the tracks. dozens of bart workers were on the tracks early this morning, checking and inspecting again. they did not find any damage to the tracks themselves. bart service, though, did have to be stopped in both directions from north concord to antioch, and the pittsburg bay point station was closed for the start of the morning commute, but by about 730 things had reopened. the pittsburg bart station reopened and service resumed. so things are back to normal here in this stretch of the bart tracks. live in pittsburgh ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> ali. thank you. tonight, a

candlelight vigil in half moon bay will honor seven farm workers who were killed in a shooting two years ago. the victims were asian and latino immigrant workers. that shooting revealing dangerous and the dangerous conditions those workers were facing and the challenges many still face today. ktvu james torres is live in half moon bay with more on the story. james. >> well, andre, good morning to you. that suspected shooter, a farm worker himself, killing a number of his coworkers. some of those farm workers were actually living on the farms where they worked. that shooting investigation eventually exposed a lot of those terrible living conditions that these farm workers were having to deal with. people were living in housing units that were either yellow or red tagged, meaning there weren't supposed to be people living in those spaces. those workers often were also drinking water filled with bacteria. all of that prompting local task forces and the governor's office to try and make improvements. advocates supporting those workers say it's a vulnerable community and the challenges they face still

continue today. >> we need to know that they're not alone, that we're standing with them, and we're here to work together. >> those advocates say part of those vulnerabilities will be enhanced under the trump administration. of course, we know the president already signed a number of executive orders in an attempt to try to crack down on illegal immigration. and just this week, community members here locally say they were sent a postcard saying to report illegal aliens and, quote, there's nowhere to hide. advocates from the nonprofit group have been working to inform undocumented workers of their rights, while still making sure living and working conditions are acceptable. now, later this morning, there will be a display of proposals for a memorial to honor some of those that were killed in that shooting two years ago that will be open to the public starting at about 1030 this morning. and then later tonight, the city will be hosting a candlelight vigil to honor those victims. we're live

this morning in half moon bay. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. james. now to southern california, where a new wildfire is burning. it's forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate in the area of the grapevine in los angeles county. it's putting a strain on firefighters still spread out across the region dealing with other wildfires. the hughes fire is burning near castaic lake along i-5, not far from magic mountain, just northeast of there. at one point, some parts of five were closed in both directions. that main artery is now back open. the fire just exploded in size after starting mid-morning yesterday, it reached more than 10,000 acres in the span of just 12 hours. after a quick ground and air assault, firefighters are starting to get the upper hand here. at last check, the fire was 14% contained. no homes have burned, but more than 30,000 people are under immediate evacuation orders. another 21,000 are being told to prepare to evacuate. >> we're actually we're very nervous. so i rushed home. i went and got my daughter from school up the road. immediately we packed up the car, got all

our belongings, our paperwork, documentation and i just started soaking my house. i, you know, wetting it down as good as i can. >> firefighters are concerned about the dry, windy conditions and the reminding people that embers can travel for miles. >> president trump travels to southern california to survey the fire damage. at a time when california republicans are butting heads with the president and other leaders over aid. president trump and house speaker mike johnson said federal aid may be withheld from california wildfire survivors until the state adjusts how it manages its water resources. mr. trump falsely claimed the fire hydrants running dry in l.a. county were due to california's fish conservation efforts. >> they have they have water coming down from the pacific northwest, which has a lot of water, so much water that they'd have to let some of it go at some point. they don't need reservoirs, they don't need any. they're spending all this money on these reservoirs. if and they're fake reservoirs.

>> l.a. county officials also say fish conservation efforts were not to blame for the fires, and say the local water system was just not designed to handle such a big demand for water. both california democrats and republicans are pushing back, saying the suggestion to withhold aid for political reasons is a slap in the face to first responders and the thousands of people displaced. >> people from other states. though they might like to bash california will ultimately realize california sends more to their states during emergencies than any other state in the union. we give more than anyone else. we give more than many states combined. >> president trump has also falsely claimed former president joe biden left no fema money for him, while the fema funds were completely used up. last year, president biden signed a bill putting $27 billion back into fema. as the fire danger continues in los angeles, you can always get up to date information and forecast in the

fox local app, as well as coverage from our sister station in los angeles. just search for fox local on your phone or on your smart tv's app store. >> let's turn things over to steve paulson right now. he's watching our local forecast here and the weather down south as well. good morning to you, steve andre. >> we had like 50, you know, in florida this morning down in miami. i know how do they park it weather is that parker weather down there for them. >> whatever they've got the everything they've got completely covered up. >> and pensacola had like a foot of snow. amazing. all right, we have clear skies. that's not the big story here. the story this morning was that there was some 30s to even 50s and 60s, and because the wind picked up early this morning right above the caldecott tunnel, right near the caldecott, above the claremont, 50 miles an hour in the oakland hills. there, berkeley lab 35 was close by. west side of mount tamalpais was 38. sunol ridge trail 33 above the oakland zoo. that was 30. pacifica 28. napa airport had an east wind to 25 and kensington, el cerrito, el

sobrante also had pretty good little gusts there that kept their temperatures in the 50s. there's still a decent gust, although wind speeds have come down, it's noticeably east or northeast, no doubt about it. sonoma mountain, mount veeder, also atlas peak, davis point, oakland hills, and even into the city. it's all offshore. so at one time this morning, 530 in the morning, fairfield, danville, sonoma and novato were in the 30s. pillar point was 61. bolinas was 58, pacifica 57, and half moon bay was 56. so huge differences in temps. last rain in the city over a 10th of an inch or anywhere close to that was on the third. so 20 days ago we may get a little bit of rain this weekend, although it just looks like we're going down with the third driest january in san francisco's history. and records go back to 1849, 1850. the kind of alarming message here is the driest was only ten years ago and the second driest was 11. so january is turning out to be one of those months where it's all or nothing, and this one is pretty much nothing. i don't

think we'll get too much more to add to that. 19/100. clear skies, sunny and warmer, though temperatures are running well. warmer than yesterday at this time. half moon base plus 11. palo alto airport plus 11 novato is 14 degrees warmer with petaluma 11 and napa airport ten. that's all because of a breeze. so 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s on the temps even at 9:00. oakland 58, berkeley 57. half moon bay, pillar point 63. it's still 30s for some 2124 truckee south lake tahoe 24. also in flagstaff. had a lot of 30s this morning. now they're 40s in the sacramento and san joaquin valley, san diego and 60 in la. at 67 degrees. the high says you get nice weather today. it's a dry pattern. maybe we'll put a little dent in it on on the weekend, but sunny, breezy 6070s today. upper low is going to backtrack and be right over us late saturday, saturday night into sunday. that could trigger a little bit of activity more likely for central and southern california, for sure up in the sierra. so if you're going up there this weekend, there will be some snow. i'm not sure santa rosa really gets that much, but i do think around san jose,

santa clara valley, santa cruz mountains, and santa cruz area down to monterey is the best opportunity to get a little bit of rain here. a couple inches of snow looks likely though. up in the mountains, 1 to 3, maybe four. should cover it late saturday into sunday. today it's against the wind or the breeze. some areas don't have much one others continues to kick right along there. 60s to low 70s so warm today. but then tomorrow we start to cool down and a big drop on those temps and conditions on the weekend. you guys. >> all right steve thank you. a major budget shortfall in the east bay's largest school district coming up on mornings on two and nine. the alameda county budget office warns that the district is putting off difficult but consequential decisions here, as it faces a $152 million budget shortfall and why tough decisions must be made in the oakland unified school district. then president trump plans to add new tariffs on goods from canada, mexico and china. we'll talk live with an rt about w if you like options, you'll love my $6 all day big deal meal. choose from 4 delicious entrées and 5 tasty sides with a drink. oh, and nobody else includes breakfast items all day.

could run out of money during the next school year. the alameda county budget office warns the district is putting off difficult but consequential decisions, as it faces a $152 million budget shortfall. in response, the school district acknowledge it's set to run out of cash by november. the alameda county office of education says to avoid running out of money, the district should approve cost saving measures, including closing and merging schools this summer. >> the number of people making

only the minimum payments on their credit cards is the highest it's been since 2012. about 11% of credit card holders only make the minimum payment. the amount of the balance that was more than 30 days past due nationwide rose slightly. it's still not as high as it was in the 2008 financial crisis. the average credit card rates are about 50% higher than three years ago. so we've been asking you about this. let's talk finances. do you pay the minimum? do you pay more than that when it comes to paying off your credit card every month, 68% of you say, yes, you're perfect. you do it every time. 13% of you pay what you can and 19% say, yep, i carry a balance. you can still vote and change those numbers by scanning the qr code or heading to ktvu.com/vote. >> well, president trump says he's planning to add 25% tariffs on goods from canada and mexico starting february 1st. he says he would also put an additional 10% tariff on chinese products by the same date. trump says he's adding these tariffs because these countries are allegedly allowing mass numbers of people and fentanyl to come into the united states. now, uc berkeley's haas school of business economics professor ann

harrison joins us for more insight. and the president speaking just within the last hour at the world economic forum in davos, really continuing to affirm his intent to impose these tariffs on these countries. as someone that's been studying this. what are your takeaways from this? >> well, trump, president trump has been talking about this for a while. and we do know that initially he suggested he was going to impose them the first day that he took office. we see that the president and the administration has backed off a little, and now they're saying they're considering putting on tariffs. the markets are very excited about this. they are excited. they don't want broad based tariffs. and so i kind of interpret this as trump's advisers have suggested to him to think a little bit more carefully about what he's going to do and to use maybe the threat of tariffs as a

negotiating tool. >> so maybe you're seeing that's what's happening now. but in the case of what it could mean for, for consumers here, because if these tariffs are going to go into effect, we talk all the time about the effects on the consumer. but and the reality is you look closer. some items like, you know, cars are assembled, parts of the car are assembled here in the united states. and other parts of the car are assembled in another country, canada or mexico would each time the car crosses the border as it's getting assembled, be hit with a tariff? >> yeah. so that that's a problem. so let's say that the negotiations fail and we do impose 25% tariffs on mexico and canada on february 1st. there's the cars typically are made in in segments. and every time the car is being made crosses the border. this would imply that there would be a 25% tax that would be paid by the importer of the car, and the importer of the car is us, our producers here.

so imagine if these cars crossed the border eight times in the course of being assembled. that would be a huge price increase for cars. enormous. and it would be massively disruptive for the for the auto industry. >> we talk about cars, but even things like avocados that come from mexico during the dead of winter to parts of the country to keep up with the demand. you know, the you know, the united states does go out to mexico to send more avocados up here. so you're talking about the prices of that going up too. because now, while we don't know what items will be hit with the tariffs, if we're understanding the examples of how this works, this could be hitting the bottom line for people who are already dealing with high prices for things like, you know, eggs that are out there right now. >> absolutely. a 25% tariff across the board would hit a lot of items that that mexico exports to us, there's no question. so and we know this because during the first trump administration, 10% tariffs on things like, for example, washing machines led the price of washing machines to go up

from $800 to $900, $100 increase for every washing machine. so that's going to happen across the board. also for goods coming from canada, if it happens, it would increase the price of tariffs because those tariffs would be passed on to consumers. >> all right. so what are you watching here. are you suspecting that this is going to be more of a threat to get these other countries to come in line with immigration, keeping, making sure not as many people are coming to the border to the us and maybe curbing the issue of fentanyl crossing the border as well. >> yeah. well, i mean, the president has been very clear that to him this is a negotiation. so he's asking to see action on reduced crossings of the borders. he's asking to see action on fighting the drug trade. in the case of china, he's actually saying, well, i will reconsider that 10% tariff

i promised if tiktok can become a us company. and just this morning in davos, he was very clear, he said we will not put tariffs on your goods if you send your factories to build in the united states. >> right. that's one thing he reinforced at davos. he wants these companies to build factories here to give more american jobs. in terms of aside from immigration and maybe the fentanyl crisis here, what are the other issues that the president could be using this as leverage for? >> well, i think that the tariffs, you know, tariffs are a super blunt instrument, right. they they apply across the board. and what we've seen, of course, is that manufacturing jobs in the united states have fallen dramatically from 1 in 4 jobs in 1980 to only 1 in 10 jobs. and those were good jobs. so this is seen by certain

elements of the manufacturing base as responding to the fact that workers wages have not gone up. so it's definitely a response to that, but it's an expensive response. >> well, it's a negotiation right now. so we'll see. february 1st is when we could learn more about what happens here. and harrison from uc berkeley's haas school of business. thank you for joining us and providing your insight into this topic that we have not heard the last of just yet. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> coming up on mornings on two, the nine. as many women know, being a mom is no easy feat. but on this maternal health awareness day, we're highlighting the physical and mental health struggles many face. we'll talk live with two doctors about that as they help bring awareness and solutions to the challenges moms encounter. also ahead. >> parts of the gulf coast still cleaning up after some cities saw snow for the first time in decades. i'm brandy campbell with f

has not responded to ktvu request for comment. belmont is still in custody. if convicted, he could get life in prison without the possibility of parole. >> the family of a teenager who was shot and killed by an officer with the sunnyvale department of public safety has filed a lawsuit against the city and the officer. 19 year old emmanuel perez becerra called police in march of last year as he was struggling with mental health issues. when officers arrived, becerra was holding a knife. officers say he refused to drop the knife and as he walked toward him, the officers fired two shots. becerra was killed. the lawsuit seeks damages and requests a training overhaul in the sunnyvale public safety department. the department reports it hasn't received notice of the lawsuit and doesn't comment on ongoing cases. >> a woman in san joaquin county was arrested for animal neglect after dozens of dead horses were found on her properties. san joaquin county sheriff's deputies say they found underfed horses and 27 dead horses on jan johnson's home in clements. four

since she was little, and had promised to cover the costs for her daughter's special day. now, when the stepdaughter found this out, she was furious and called it unfair, especially because her father and mother aren't contributing to her wedding. so now the father steps in and says, well, he thinks the wedding money should be split between the daughter and the stepdaughter. the reddit poster says she is not budging. she is giving every cent of that wedding money to her own little girl. yikes. >> oh look. >> that one is way. that is hot. >> it is. >> it is hot. i don't even know what to say about that. that is crazy, right? but it's. you have two daughters. i mean. >> but weddings are everything. it's money, it's family, it's love, it's religion. it's, you know, and it's like. oh, so i'm not surprised that this is, you know, going wild online. >> i just can't even. >> really have a quick answer either. >> there is no quick answer to this. but although i will say, you know, if you have step doesn't. i mean, step doesn't mean anything, right? your daughter's your daughter, right? right. you know, that's just my

feeling about it. >> i would have to know more before i. i mean, go to dinner at their house. yeah. we'll see. >> no, i'd like to watch. yeah. popcorn. >> we'll be outside at the window. >> yeah. yeah. i don't know. i think all of us feel as if we would need to know more before judging, right? but, i mean, i would go on reddit and read all the stuff, though, that's for sure. for sure. all right, let's get to this now. evacuation warnings were lifted overnight after another fire in los angeles along the 405 freeway, but there are other evacuations in place because of a fire in the grapevine area. ktvu roberto gonzalez is live in the los angeles area, with more on the new fires and the weather conditions. roberta. >> we are off sepulveda and the weather conditions right now suggest the winds are increasing again. right now, pretty much sustained winds 5 to 10mph. and then we occasionally get a stronger gust as i'm getting right now. but that's the problem. we have a red flag warning in effect again today. a high wind warning as well. and when you combine all the wind with the very dry conditions, you get this. look what happened

overnight. this is just outside of brentwood. we are just off the 405. and look at the chart hillside there. this fire started at 11:00 last night. and the big difference is residents called in immediately. so firefighters were able to get up in the air. there was no wind. they were able to douse this fire with big buckets from tankers. there were emergency evacuation orders in place. residents fled the area. they were able to return again about 2:00 this morning, but there are still firefighters on the scene and they're up there and they are trying to put out all of the hotspots. i asked one particular spokesperson for the fire department, what's the difference between the response time with the pacific palisades fire, the eaton fire and this fire that happened last night? and here's what he had to say. >> we have very dry vegetation out there, so any spark will

make this this vegetation just catch fire immediately. and that's because of the drought we've had for the last over decade. we've been having a lot of new starts. for example, the hughes fire the day before and now this one here next to the 405 freeway. >> yes. and he was saying the big difference is also that it takes a village. it takes all of us to protect our home, our neighborhood and our community. you need to call in. you see something, you smell something like right now, it definitely smells like smoke. you need to call somebody now. why am i still out here? take a look at all of this right here. see this? this hose right now contains water. we've had so much action. we have fire truck after fire truck. they come in, they hand off water. then that water comes through all these hoses and they make their way. they snake their way up this

hillside so firefighters can continue to work on the different spots that continue to blaze up spontaneously on this particular hillside outside of brentwood, next to the 405. i was just talking to one firefighter. also, he was showing me his drone and they've been flying a drone around here. they say it's so amped to pick up those hot spots so you don't have what happened with the oakland hills fire where they thought the fire was said and done, but another hot spot kicked up and caused that fatal blaze in that area in the late 80s. so we are here, and i think you can see that the winds are picking up again. it's another dangerous day and everybody is on high alert here throughout los angeles county. i just received an alert on my phone. there's a new fire that just broke out. it's called the laguna fire, and that's in ventura. so we keep seeing these fires and hopefully they don't grow. you know, that huge fire that took us all by surprise? it started off at 50 acres

yesterday. it blew up to 350, 500. then all of a sudden 8000. and now it's over 10,000 acres. so they have to try to jump on these. but as you can imagine, after two and a half weeks, the firefighters are exhausted. so i've seen lots of firefighters from northern california, especially the bay area, utah, also oregon, washington, also in las vegas and phoenix. they're all coming in to lend their support. we are live here in brentwood, outside the 405 talking about this fire. and hopefully it's said and it's done. back to you in the studio. >> hey, roberta, i have a question for you. now that a lot of the aid from other states and cities has arrived. do you get the feeling that those firefighters that have arrived in los angeles are going to be there for a while, especially in light of you saying that there's another fire that just began? >> yes. and there's so many fires that keep spontaneously

combusting. and, you know, we're talking about san diego as well. we had three fires that broke out there on monday. so it's from san diego through los angeles into riverside, into san bernardino, into ventura counties. and yeah, they're going to be here for a while because of the fact that it's just not los angeles county. they may arrive here, but then they're trucked out and sent to other locations to assist. it's really funny, though. i was just talking to another firefighter and he was saying, yeah, they came here to help us, but they're working alongside of us and we need them to go out on their own. and so they've been really enforcing that to, you know, it's a kind of a collaboration where you all have to figure out who goes where and when. and that happens with the first spark that happens. >> roberta. thank you. >> well, as roberta mentioned, the other fire that sparked and exploded in size this week is burning near i-5 in northern los angeles county. thousands of people were told to evacuate. fox's mario ramirez reports from castaic on the most recent fire happening in southern

california. >> exactly a little over two weeks after those two major wildfires broke out. you probably heard the sirens here. we've been watching emergency vehicles, fire engines making their way through here. castaic, about 40 miles north of downtown los angeles. we're near the five freeway and lake hughes. and just take a look. we noticed that plume of smoke picking up there near just behind homes on the ridge top there near castaic lake, to our north, in steep canyons and grassy hillsides, where the fire continues to burn away from the freeway. and we hope it doesn't get any closer to those homes there. we want to show you the video here. just take a look at what this fire activity did overnight, as it burned through thousands of acres in just the first few hours, burning through brush. fire officials describe as critically dry as those flames were spreading. parts of the five freeway that connects l.a. to bakersfield was closed through the grapevine, an area that can typically see extremely strong winds during events like this. >> with the winds cooperating, hopefully with us, the fire

department out there distinguishing the fires, we're hoping that eventually we can repopulate those people who were evacuated back into the evacuation zones. but for the safety, for the public, the safety for the first responders who are out there fighting the fires, we want to keep those zones clear for them so they can do their job and make sure that their properties remain safe. >> the l.a. county sheriff's department telling us they hope to repopulate those areas as soon as it's safe to do so. but that's just not the case yet. unfortunately, there have been no reports of damage or injuries from this fire, and you'll notice here at the closure along the five freeway and lake hughes, the national guard is still positioned around these burn areas now assisting local law enforcement here with the hughes fire. nearly 800 are still in southern california, helping with multiple fire zones in castaic near the five freeway. i'm mario ramirez. back to you. >> well, los angeles county wildfire survivors will thank san francisco firefighters who helped save their house tomorrow afternoon. the sffd fire

department firefighters went to l.a. to help fight the palisades fire earlier this month.wners of a house that they helped save say they also saved valuables from one of their neighbors houses that unfortunately burned down. >> as president trump heads to southern california tomorrow to survey the fire damage, many are wondering if a recent executive order about sanctuary cities will affect wildfire aid. in a recent executive order, the president cut off federal funds to all sanctuary cities in the country. los angeles is one of 600 nationwide. many are worried that mr. trump's order will prevent wildfire survivors from receiving aid. l.a. officials say the city will not lose funding under this executive order, and that sanctuary city law protects all immigrants and families during an emergency. >> the justice department is ordering federal prosecutors to investigate state or city officials who interfere with the trump administration's immigration crackdown. a memo from the acting deputy attorney general targets sanctuary cities and states that put limits on cooperation with federal immigration agents. the bay area is home to a number of sanctuary

cities. san francisco among them. it became a sanctuary city in 1985. many who live in the mission district, which has a large latino immigrant community, say they're concerned about president trump's threats of mass deportations. >> have you heard from business owners who say, my workers are afraid to come to work? >> i've heard from business owners that want help because they have their workers who are telling them that they don't want to come to work. >> what's going to happen to them? they go through those borders and they get raped. they get murdered. >> san francisco sheriff paul miyamoto says the department will not be working on immigrant. working on immigration and customs enforcement. on any enforcement activities. with one exception, more than 560 cities, counties and states have passed sanctuary policies. the courts have repeatedly upheld those laws. >> from physical to emotional. there are many struggles mothers face during and after pregnancy. coming up on mornings on two and nine, we'll talk live with two

doctors about what can be done to improve maternal health for women e rywhere on this maternal i have prepared a thomas' breakfast for you to savor together. thanks, thom. hey, are english muffins from england? heavens, no! they're from the pantry. are you from england? nay, i'm also from the pantry. huzzah! a toast to breakfast. herbal essences is a force of nature. made with supercharged botanical blends, our sulfate-free formulas deeply penetrate to boost hair health. without the salon naturals price tag. herbal essences. it ain't my dad's razor, dad. ay watch it! it's from gillettelabs. this green bar releases trapped hairs from my face... gamechanga! ...while the flexdisc contours to it. so the five blades can get virtually every hair in one stroke. for the ultimate gillette shaving experience. the best a man can get is gillettelabs. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals,

is coming to an end, but the threat for dangerous travel remains in place as roads all across the gulf coast are still covered with snow and ice. fox's brandy campbell has the latest. >> the gulf coast is not out of the bayou just yet. baton rouge, louisiana coming off its snowiest day ever with just over 7.5in of snow, some of that has melted thanks to blue skies and sunshine on wednesday, but there was some freezing overnight, making for an icy walk or commute on thursday morning. >> if you do have to be on the roadways, make sure to go extremely slow. use a lot of caution. >> transportation crews in new orleans digging up inches of snow cover, revealing thick ice below. it was fun at first, residents breaking out their skates and boards, but as more ice melted, more froze overnight. the rare winter storm swept across the south on tuesday, bringing the first ever blizzard warning to the gulf coast, blasting communities from texas to florida to the

carolinas. the record shattering, snow snarled travel, bringing daily life to a halt. >> if someone lived in montana and was looking out the window to see a hurricane for the first time, it's like, oh my god, it's crazy. it's like, is the world ending? did someone make a deal with the devil that no one knew about. >> the widespread historic snowstorm is even visible from space. these images are from a satellite showing white snow painted across the gulf coast. now, with crews clearing the snow and temperatures going into the 60s next week, this should be gone very soon. for now in new orleans, i'm brandy campbell, ktvu, fox two news. >> just hours after taking office, president trump halted an executive order placed by the biden administration to lower prescription drug costs. the hope was to phase in a cap for out-of-pocket costs at pharmacies, and allow negotiations with pharmaceutical companies for medicare patients. there is also concern that this will result in higher prices for prescription drugs. the biden administration was also planning a $2 prescription plan for medicare patients, but that has

also been reversed. >> today marks national maternal health awareness day, a day meant to bring attention to the mental and physical health struggles so many mothers face. let's get some more insight by welcoming doctor erica canales, kaiser, permanente's, east bay medical director of perinatal services, and doctor sabel aasen, a reproductive psychiatrist with the health system. thank you both for being here. i remember those early days like it was yesterday. and the stress on mothers begins even before the baby is born. i remember feeling bad for how much weight i was gaining at each checkup. doctor canales, we'll start with you. what do you say to those mothers who are just starting that journey? what's most important to remember? >> having some self-compassion along the way and recognizing there are many right routes to get to the end. and each person's journey is unique. really. so just really being kind to yourself. and i also recommend to my patients having some flexibility and a good sense of humor, both during the pregnancy, the delivery and the raising of children. right. this is this can really help us. >> it continues there in high

school. i still need that sense of humor. you mentioned something about being unique, and now we'll talk to you. i'll turn to you. doctor asked. in the beginning, all i did was compare, right? that mom lost the baby weight. why do i still look like this? that baby's walking. why is mine sitting in my lap? it can go on forever. >> it's constant. and it's even worse with the societal pressure as we see them today. there is social media expecting everyone to be the superhero, and we really don't see what's in the background and everything that it takes. especially in the early days. >> you and i were talking a minute just off camera about, i think it was 20 years ago. the actor brooke shields went public with postpartum depression, and she was ridiculed by some, including actor tom cruise. the fact that she was talking about postpartum 20 years ago was major. please tell me we've come past that. >> we've made so much progress. there is still a lot of work to be done. what we are doing is that we're partnering together. psychiatry and obgyn and doctor

canales and our colleagues are really working to set up, you know, a holistic system to try to help people during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. >> and how is that, you know, symbiotic mind body relationship hopefully paying off for women? >> i think there's a lot more awareness from early in the pregnancy and during. so we check in multiple times during the pregnancy about a patient's what mental health. we really check in about what help they have at home and how to prepare for the home journey through many different paths. and then in the hospital, we also are connecting our patients with resources during the pregnancy, afterwards and into the postpartum period. so i think there's a lot of awareness, a lot of and when we talk about not only the physical recovery, but the mental recovery and psychological is every bit as important. and we're there for them. and we have many different options to get extra support through the health care system. >> what have you heard from women you've been able to help?

>> so it's really interesting. once they have gotten through these really tough times. and on the other end, it's about that realization that, oh, actually, you know, being a super mom is asking for help is getting the support i need, activating the support system and trying to get sleep, which is really, really important to remember even with caring for a newborn. >> do you have some women who aren't doctors, as you two are able to kind of. you know, i always joke, i've got like little sisters in the newsroom, right? young women who are starting their parenting journey. my boys are teenagers. i tell them all the time, look, it's going to be hard. you're not always going to be like sitting on a floral blanket, and your baby will be well fed and clean. there are really tough times, so talk to me about that kind of sisterly advice. >> well, i think one way to think about getting the right care and the right mindset during the pregnancy to be supported is to consider

something like a group prenatal care. we offer centering pregnancy for our patients. we even have, for example, centering for patients who are african american to get that extra sense of community and not being alone. they're going through the journey together. >> because when you're the only one in a room who looks like you do, you don't want to say anything. >> that's right, that's right. so we really try to foster that sense of community, that shared journey together, and then partnering with, for example, a midwife for your care, for your delivery, a doula, which is a non-medical but trained support person. this is not only something that provides sort of physical, emotional and informational support, but the advocacy of a doula has been shown to mitigate or mitigate disparities in outcomes for our patients who are at higher risk. and it really helps create a true cocoon around our patients having those support services. >> finally, if i can have you say a word to everyone around the mother, right? we get so much input from well-meaning family members, coworkers, strangers at target. what do you say to those who are just hoping to offer advice but maybe should keep it shut?

>> two things exactly like you said. maybe instead of offering advice, volunteer to do something without asking what you should be doing. just noticing. you know? maybe i'll just take the baby and take care of them for an hour. and also, i think realizing that they are true physiological changes that happen, like the mommy brain that we know that we see in brain imaging nowadays is really important to recognize. so they are changes that we have to adapt to that are significant, and we have to support our birthing people. >> i really appreciate you saying that. i remember every time i hear, what do you mean he's not potty trained yet? i took it as a personal failure. i was not the one in diapers. we could talk about this for hours. i'm so glad that both of you joined me today. it's an important day. one that deserves the attention you brought to it. doctors. thank you. >> thank you. >> really appreciate it. >> coming up here on the nine, we'll head up to the north bay and explore what major budget

cuts are doing to sonoma state university, the departments there that are on the chopping ock, a

is ending its athletics program. university officials say they have a $24 million deficit to settle. as a result, they've announced several budget cuts in addition to ending its athletic program to save $3.7 million. they'll eliminate degree programs, lecturers and the management staff, which is expected to save all that money. students we talked to were shocked by this news. >> when was it decided that our positions on our team were going to be done after this year? when was the decision made to cut athletics? because that has a heavy impact on people like who maybe would have transferred out at the break if they knew that they weren't going to be able to come back next year and they could get started at a new place right away. >> in an email sent to students,

the interim president said, quote, i know this is difficult news for our campus community. i am keenly aware of its human impact and how individuals, families and relationships and communities are affected by such news. the changes are expected to go into effect next school year. >> oakland, mcclymonds high school is renaming its gym for a former graduate who soared to new heights in the nba. the gym will be dedicated to bill russell. he was born in louisiana, moved to oakland as a child. russell won two championships at mcclymonds and went on to win several nba championships. a former coach at mcclymonds was also a good friend of russell, says russell made quite an impact when he came back to support the team at a tournament ahead of a championship game. >> he walked in and the guy said, oh, bill russell. bill russell. he said, hey fellas, how are you doing? just laid back and everything relaxed. he said, see that trophy over there? it's got my name on it. he said, after this game tonight, it better be even climates high school. so

needless to say, i didn't have to do a lot of coaching. >> no pressure. right? russell was the first black nba coach to win a championship. his number six jersey is the only one to be retired across the league in his honor. bill russell died in 2022. he was 88 years old. >> the oakland roots and soul soccer club are changing their strategy, as both teams look for a new, permanent home. the roots say they plan to make the coliseum their short term home beyond 2025. they're abandoning plans for a temporary site near the coliseum that was proposed in the nine acre malibu parking lot. even if it's approved, it would not be built for several years. >> this morning. this year's oscars nominations are in. emilio perez led all films with 13 nominations. musical. the wicked musical brought in ten nominations, including for best picture, best actress and best supporting actress. other films pulling in a large number of nominations include the brutalist conclave and a complete unknown. oscar nominations were supposed to be announced last week, but were

delayed due to the l.a. fires. the awards ceremony, hosted by conan o'brien, will be sunday, march 2nd. >> even though the queen of rock n roll, tina turner, is no longer with us. there's a new song of hers being released that was made at the height of her popularity. take a listen. >> but i can't take it anymore. that's why i'm out here on the floor. so won't you dance with me? i'm hot for you, baby, happy baby, happy baby i want to love you today. baby i'm happy for you. >> that's hot for you, baby. a rowdy 80s rock song that was originally meant to be included on her 1984 album, private dancer. it's now featured on the 40th anniversary edition of that album. it comes out march 21st. i remember not long after she died, i was, i think, in like grocery outlet in oakland, and she came on and the music, you know, and i was just like, picking out my cheese. and then a woman, i could kind of tell. and we just turned we had like a half hour conversation about tina turner. yeah. her death was so impactful. she lived such a

life. >> well, you know, her voice was a soundtrack, you know, part of the soundtrack of my life back in the 90s, you know, and for many other people as well. so. yeah. >> and, you know, that video that they just showed, obviously they made a video, they didn't release it. but now we can go back to the 80s and watch that video, look at her hair. >> and she ended up i think in her later years she lived in like switzerland. she like wanted to escape it all. she's like, i just want to be able to go to the store, sit at the park. i mean, she she did it right? >> yes she did. >> she got her fame and she got out. >> well, thank you so much for joinin >> 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 ♪
