[music] >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> and good morning i'm dave clark. welcome to monday, january 27th. roberto gonzalez did a great job covering those wildfires in southern california. but you're here with us this morning talking about our forecast. >> yeah. and i got to tell you, i have this real knee jerk reaction. >> yeah. >> last night i went outside and i could smell all the fireplaces going because it's cold. but when you smell that and you've been working for a week in los angeles, and that's what you're taking in every day, didn't bring back too many good memories. you know what i'm saying here. so we should probably give it a rest and give our air quality a break as well. we have cold weather each and every day all the way through thursday morning until we start to see a little increasing cloud cover. bundle up. heading out the door. we do have a clear morning. it's going to pan out to be a really pretty day, and

then a weather whiplash with a big change in the forecast by the end of the workweek. but starting off your morning today through thursday morning, each and every morning, anywhere between a frost advisory. a freeze watch, a freeze warning. temperatures right now 28 degrees in throughout livermore. it's freezing in walnut creek as it is in novato. look at san francisco 38. but in the inner richmond district, i was seeing temperatures near freezing 30 in palo alto. and the winds are pretty much on the calm side at this particular time. but we will be seeing temperatures 57 to 63 full forecast. but right now, sal castaneda, we were talking bay bridge. we were talking richmond bridge. where are the problems. >> right now? the bay bridge. roberta. good news. they cleared the crash. that was right before the harrison street exit and traffic is flowing again. hopefully that will get things going again on the bridge. now it's going to take a while for this to unwind. you can see how slow it is by looking at this picture. and that's why the

metering lights are extra slow. it hasn't reached the toll plaza yet. you can still see that the carpool lanes are pretty slow. and so we're going to keep watching for this. but again, the good news is the lanes are open. coming back in a few minutes. we'll talk about some of the other problems on other parts of the bay area. now at 702, let's get right back to the headlines. >> thank you sal. this morning a school in vallejo is closed after thieves broke in and stole copper wiring, leaving that campus without any power. our james torres live in vallejo here to tell us what happened and how soon james district leaders might be able to make needed repairs. >> garcia, we are just in front of the solano leadership academy. it's a school that serves students from tk up to eighth grade. it's about 605 students here at the school. and the superintendent says people were here over the weekend on campus, getting ready for a basketball tournament. that was supposed to happen. and once they realized that the school had gone completely dark. >> we pretty quickly realized that something was wrong. and

when we checked, started checking the systems and looking, they discovered, you know, the damage where things had been broken into cages and things like that were accessed. and then the straight, you know, cutting of the wiring and stripping of the wiring. that wiring was supposed to be protected by cages. damage estimates now close to $200,000. but now the problem is getting the more than 600 students back into a classroom. that's what school leaders say they will work on today. >> did cancel school in the immediacy, just because we need a day or two to make sure we are able to house students, we might look at alternative campuses and placements, but we'll you know, we don't have a single campus where we would necessarily put 605 students, but we could distribute them across maybe multiple schools. >> the superintendent says that money for those repairs will

come directly from the district's general fund, which means in the long run, it's going to affect what they can do for students in the schools for the year. they say they are working as fast as they can to get a solution going, which includes probably using nearby campuses to displace some of those students as repairs are still underway. no word on how long until those repairs will be done, but the superintendent says he is asking for the community's patience, and we will be checking in with the vallejo police department to learn where it stands and its investigation. we're live this morning in vallejo. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, james. thank you. time now 705. the trump administration taking action to fulfill the president's campaign promise to crack down on people in the u.s. illegally. now, ice, which is the immigration and customs enforcement agency, reports there were raids and arrests in several states. there was an early morning raid in colorado where almost 50 people were taken into custody. some

reportedly are members of a venezuelan gang. at a rally in las vegas, president trump said the gangs days are numbered. >> as bad as the bloodthirsty ms13 gangs that we have gotten all over the place. we'll get them out. we'll get them out. >> several states led by democrats are now passing new laws to toughen the laws that protect migrants. some lawmakers claim the crackdown goes beyond getting tough on criminals and gang members. >> going after people who are law abiding, who are holding down jobs, who have families here. these are not people who are causing problems in our country. and what we need is a path to citizenship for them. >> now, white house border czar tom homan says ice officers are making a priority of criminals. >> the white house says president trump's threats of big tariffs are also helping in the crackdown on illegal immigration. the administration is claiming victory after colombia agreed to accept flights of migrants deported from the united states. colombia

had rejected two planes carrying deported migrants and accused president trump of taking away their dignity. however, the white house ordered visa travel restrictions against colombians and 25% tariffs on all colombian incoming goods, which would increase to 50% in another week if those planes were not allowed to land. >> well, the estimated cost of the wildfires in southern california, it is just skyrocketing to more than $250 billion. that's an early estimate from the weather forecasting service accuweather. it doesn't include the cost of the damages, but also disruptions to businesses and other impacts to the economy. economy. one aspect that really drove up prices is the high price of homes. many of the homes destroyed in malibu and pacific palisades were worth multiple millions of dollars apiece. now, while the major wildfires in l.a. county are mostly contained now, communities and firefighters are facing some brand new risks.

ktvu is andre senior is in the studio now. it's also about these new problems in southern california in the aftermath of the wildfires. >> well, dave, recovery efforts are far from over for l.a. county residents. firefighters are now bracing for a new concern. we're talking about potential mudslides and debris flow from this weekend's rain. precipitation. precipitation finally moved into the los angeles area yesterday morning. it's the first that's happened since last spring. and while it's good news for controlling the major wildfires, it brings the threat of slides in the hillsides of the fire zone. >> if a mudflow or debris flow starts, it's too late to get out. >> we've suffered this terrible loss of thousands of homes, but thousands of homes did survive and now they're under threat. so our focus right now is to save, to help save the homes that we can. >> the wildfires destroyed trees and brush on the hillsides, making it more difficult for the soil to absorb any rain. and the debris from burned homes and businesses can easily be picked up by any flowing water and makes it make its way into the

ocean. the national weather service has issued a flood watch alert in many of the same areas hit hardest by the wildfires. on top of mudslide concerns are ash and debris worries. the palisades and eden fires burned in urban areas, charring homes, cars, electronics and other items containing dangerous chemicals. this is putting plastics, pesticides and more toxic chemicals into the air and the wind is continuing to spread the lingering ash. because of this, parents are worried kids may be returning to school too early. >> canyon reopens at the current site. it is now in the next few weeks. we're not sending our kids back. >> children often have more hand to mouth behavior and their bodies are rapidly growing in these first few years, and so they can be more sensitive to this type of pollution. >> the los angeles unified school district says workers are examining ventilation systems, cleaning facilities and installing air purifiers to ensure students safe return. some schools are also under a do not drink water advisory, so water fountains are turned off and schools are giving bottled

water to their students. garcia. >> andre. thank you. 709 here. you can't just shoot down i-5 today if you're heading to southern california because the main artery, interstate five, is closed over the grapevine due to snow. this is a live. look at that truck escape ramp. i know you've seen it when you're coming down the hill in lebec. this is still well north of los angeles, but super quiet. not a single car making its way through right now. we'll show a video here of what the backup looked like in castaic. you can see a bunch of semi trucks all stuck on the side of the road, essentially nowhere to go. there's no word yet this morning as to when i-5 will reopen. now, the closest detour isn't great. you could go all the way out to tehachapi pass, or you could take the scenic route, highway one. but again, interstate five shut down over the grapevine due to snow. it's important for you to know this morning. >> all right. and right now, we do have some things to talk about here. i have a little bit better news for the bay bridge commute. westbound bay bridge. there was a crash on the span.

it was right in this camera view. this is where the bridge empties out into san francisco. and now you can see things are moving well there. however, we do have a very slow traffic across the bridge. it is it's getting a little bit better, but you can see that the carpool lanes are still slow. that's when you know it's going to be very slow. we've had other things going on. we've been looking at 880. that traffic looks all right. we also had some slow traffic on 80 westbound. there is a new crash reported west 80 right at powell street in emeryville. and that has traffic backing up into berkeley. we had an earlier crash westbound 580 at the richmond bridge, and that is slowing traffic there as well. 711 let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. well, three years after alexis gabe was killed in the east bay, her family says they still are waiting for justice. why? her family is frustrated by a decision made by prosecutors. >> the price of eggs is not expected to come down any time soon. that has people across the

country taking matters into their own hands. what they're doing in their own backyards. >> after a car accident. beware of insurance companies bearing small checks. if you've been injured, you may feel pressured to settle too soon and for too little money. don't be fooled. the minute you sign, your claim is over. no matter how serious your injuries are or how many bills come in later, choose jacoby and meyers. for over 50 years, we've turned low insurance offers into big settlements. call us and find out what we can win for you. jacoby and meyers because everyone deserves

following for you this morning. it is a very cold start to the day in the bay area. a live look at the south bay from our camera atop monument peak. the national weather service has issued a freeze warning and a frost advisory in parts of our region that's expected to stay in effect until 9:00 this morning. city leaders in san jose have confirmed u.s. immigration and customs enforcement agents were in the city this weekend conducting operations. it appeared they were carrying out existing arrest orders. we reached out to immigration and customs enforcement for details and were asking if the agency is conducting other operations in the bay area. ktvu tori gaines will be in at 730 to share how one south bay woman says she took action upon seeing immigration officers. then the stage is set for super bowl 59,

less than two weeks away at the superdome in new orleans. it will be a repeat of the matchup from two years ago. the kansas city chiefs and the philadelphia eagles. the chiefs open as very slight one and a half point favorites. you can watch it all sunday, february 9th right here on ktvu fox two. >> all right. our time is 715. one family in oakley is honoring the memory of their daughter, who was murdered three years ago at a vigil held in her memory, the family of alexis gabe talked about their disappointment with what they claim is a lack of justice for the people involved in her murder. the police say alexis gabes ex-boyfriend marshall jones murdered her. he later died in a shootout with the police. and just last week, the contra costa county district attorney said his mother would not be charged for helping him. district attorney diana becton's refusal to charge the mother of jones has led to more people pushing to recall her. >> not a retribution for us joining the recall. it's just

that it's not just us. there's a lot of families who have that she failed. >> now, video shared with ktvu shows jones unloading two trash bags into his mother's garage. law enforcement says the two bags contained the remains of alexis gabe. >> time now is 716, two days away from the start of the lunar new year. celebrations are underway across the bay area and beyond. hundreds headed to san francisco's chinatown for the final day of the annual chinese new year. flower market along grand avenue, lining the street with dozens of booths. one vendor tells us the market is a great way to help people shop for the holiday. >> this would draw a lot of people to chinatown. yeah. and people are so happy right now. the money tree. a lot of things, you know, that people that they celebrate in the chinese new year. >> the next big event will be an opening ceremony on the first day of the lunar new year this wednesday at portsmouth square.

>> well, if you think eggs cost a lot now, the bird flu outbreak is expected to cause the price of eggs nationwide to really set new records this year. and that has a growing number of american consumers taking matters into their own hands. they're raising their own chickens. instead of buying eggs at a grocery store, and those backyard chicken coops are popping up outside the homes of egg lovers around the country. >> eating here is tripled. so i'm going back to oregon, where i can raise my own chickens. >> in a joke the other day with one of my friends, i said i might as well just start investing in my own chickens. >> and that's what they say. it's easy to understand why raising chickens is becoming more common now. the consumer price index shows u.s. egg prices soared almost 37% when compared to this time last year. and there's a new government report that says those prices will probably keep climbing another 20% this year. >> and that's if you can find.

>> them, if you can find them. >> all right. let's swing out to our traffic center, see what sal is carefully watching this monday morning. hi, sal. >> hey, guys. you know, i thought of you when i when i think of eggs. because i know that you like to bake. yes. are you still baking as much? >> i am, and i'll tell you, it's not the baking that's the problem. it's my young son who's decided to eat four eggs a day for breakfast so he can bulk up. you know, he's 14. >> he's a. i'm sure you remember, star. you remember those days. >> so, yes. it's crazy. >> yeah. yeah, it's tough times out there. all right. good morning everyone. i think she, i think dave and pam or dave and gasia asked what is the problem out there. and one of the problems are is westbound 80 at powell street. there's a crash there. but also the bay bridge has been very slow because of an earlier crash. that crash has been cleared, but it is still very slow. things take a while to unwind. we've been carefully watching the carpool lane. once that gets going, they might loosen up the metering lights a

little bit. i do want to mention that traffic is also going to be slow approaching the richmond bridge as well. south bay commute is getting slower getting into that west valley at 719. let's bring roberta in. she's talking about today's weather. >> so i want to talk to you about this, though. i was in arizona a couple of weeks ago. they have no problem. they were 250 a dozen. >> what? >> what's up with that? and then when i stopped at the love's truck stop to kind of use the restroom, they have a little thing like this a for hard boiled eggs for $2. so it almost seems like, hey, let's go get some hard boiled eggs at the love's truck stop. let's go on a road trip. hey, everybody. good morning. if you're up and about ready to make breakfast? 25 degrees in moraga, 27 in orinda. how about 30 degrees a piece? mill valley, pleasanton. and in ross. it's freezing. and you know it in san lorenzo and san leandro, sunnyvale, sporting 34 and in the haight, it's 37 degrees. this is why we have a freeze warning, a freeze watch. a frost advisory in effect this

morning and each morning all the way through thursday, cold air mass slipping into the bay area. check it out. 32 in nicasio. it is now 30, in east palo alto and in palo alto, 35 in hayward. the winds have been picking up from time to time, but under ten. but when they do blow, it adds to that wind chill factor. so it feels colder than it actually is. i'm getting out of here. you got to take a good look at this. it's our live weather camera official. sunup was just three minutes ago at 717. it will set at 528 and smack in between. it's going to be a beautiful day. high pressure right about here. low pressure right about there. you could see the core of the center of this area of low pressure, because you have the precipitation and a counterclockwise fashion around this. we have had rainfall amounts right here, and even some mudslides in the malibu area, pacific palisades. and there you have the snow around the grapevine. this is around

castaic lake. and i'm talking about where the hughes fire was rapidly growing out of control. it's snowing there, so that's a good thing. take a look. santa monica over an inch of rain so you know you have some runoff in the burn scar areas lax with approaching an inch. same in simi valley and altadena. hard to get some totals there, but right around 2/10 of an inch of rain. so here we go. today, a real pretty day under the influence of high pressure 58 in pacifica to 63 to the south and to the north. smack in between central bay temperatures into right around the low 60s. enjoy your day, roberta. >> thank you. those fires in southern california aren't just a problem on land. the impact scientists are seeing in the ocean. following weeks of fires across the region. >> also, the oscar ceremony still weeks away, but movie fans are already arguing about some of the movies chosen. we'll tell you why. the use of ai is the focus of a

24. happening today. holocaust remembrance day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz. earlier today, survivors of the concentration camp were joined by leaders of poland and germany at auschwitz to remember all those who died at the camp in poland was the largest and most infamous of the holocaust. more than 1 million people were killed at that complex alone. the holocaust

resulted in the genocide of more than 6 million jewish people, along with millions of other minorities, by nazi germany between 1933 through 1945. tens of thousands of palestinians are returning to the gaza strip this morning, after israel lifted its closure of northern gaza for the first time since the start of its 15 month war with hamas. video from earlier today shows palestinians carrying their belongings along a coastal highway in northern gaza, ending their months of exile in temporary encampments. they returned to gaza is the latest sign that the fragile ceasefire agreement between israel and hamas appears to be holding. >> our time now. 726. the two movies leading so far in the oscar nominations. they're now dealing with controversy over how they used artificial intelligence to enhance the voices of the actors, and more. the brutalist is a drama about a hungarian jewish architect who flees the united states after surviving the holocaust. that movie received ten academy award

nominations. artificial intelligence was used to make the two leads hungarian accents more accurate for the movie. emilio perez musical about a transgendered mexican cartel leader. it led with 13 nominations. emilio perez was nominated for best sound, but the lead actress singing voice that was enhanced with artificial intelligence. >> dangerous implications, certainly, for giving awards to performances that might be computer generated as opposed to real performances. >> they should be judged on their skills versus the ai. >> the technology kind of takes away from the talent that there is in a lot of these films. >> now, both movies earned nominations for best picture and best film editing. the brutalist also used artificial intelligence on the movie's ending visuals. many critics say the award academy's need to set parameters for the use of ai in the future, when they consider awards.

>> 727 here. the battle for ai dominance in the tech industry has a new competitor. why? a chinese company's announcement sent silicon valley stocks into a freefall this morning. >> and residents in southern california speaking out, making their voices heard after those wild wildfires with people who have been out of their h es

can we go to work? can we go shopping? can we go see our relatives? >> immigrant communities in the south bay. nervous and on edge. after an ice operation in san jose took place over the weekend. we'll tell you the impact here in the bay area of the trump administration's promised crackdown on illegal immigration. and days after president trump visited the southern california wildfire zone, he is taking action on california's water supply. why? critics say his executive order may not do what he says it will. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you. thank you for joining us. welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. it is monday, january 27th. to answer a question from roberta at the top of the 6:00 hour. you bet. i had those seat heaters going

this morning. it's cold out there. >> but you are so politically correct because you said seat heaters. i called them bun warmers. >> oh, that's that's a lot cuter than what i say, right? >> i call it as it is. i like the steering wheel warmth also, if you have that, do you have that? >> i'm not that fancy. >> no, no. me either. i have gloves. you got them, dave? >> i have them too. >> yeah. we know who makes the big bucks here. okay. >> yeah. >> morning, everybody. today. morning, sunshine. with some seasonal afternoon high temperatures. right where they should be for this time of the year. the rain arrives by friday night with cooler temperatures during the day. lingering rain showers for your weekend. but right now, we are starting off on a clear and cold note. you just can't tell how chilly it is out there, but keep this in mind. we have a frost advisory. we have a freeze watch. we have a freeze warning in effect until 9:00 this morning. because take a gander at these numbers 28 in throughout the tri. yeah, it's 28 throughout the tri valley.

tri saying that 28 tri valley. it's 30 in palo alto and it's freezing in novato later today, 58 to 63 degrees. full forecast in a matter of minutes. but right now, sal castaneda. all right. where are we going to this time? bay bridge. >> yeah, we're going to go to the bay bridge. it's improving a little bit. roberta. westbound. we had a crash in the last hour that was there for a while, and now traffic on the bridge is finally improving. and you can see the carpool lanes are beginning to pick up. so that's the first sign of improvement. but it is at least a 30 minute delay because the backup is beyond the macarthur maze on the 580, on 580 and on 80 coming in, and also on 880. let me put up a map. just since i said that 580 is backed up from highway 24, 880 is backed up. so we have quite the backup this morning going approaching the bay bridge. let's go to the south bay where 280 traffic is slow, and the san mateo bridge traffic is moderate. 733 let's get back to the headlines.

>> okay, sal. thank you. well, the trump administration is ramping up its crackdown and detainment of undocumented immigrants all over the country. and in san jose, community members say they saw ice agents yesterday. ktvu tory gaines is right outside of san jose city hall with more information. good morning tori. >> good morning dave. those reports of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement enforcement agents being here in san jose first hit social media, which obviously caused worries for community members here. we have seen ice operations in several major cities across the country since president trump's inauguration from newark to chicago, as well as in san francisco. city officials and advocates here in san jose, confirming to ktvu on sunday that ice agents were in the area at two separate locations. they were spotted at a residence near story and king roads and at a target nearby. now, this coming after local immigrant support organization called the rapid

response network, received more than 100 calls stating ice agents were spotted nearby. we spoke with one woman who saw the agents for herself. >> was documenting both with my camera and mentally what was going on. now that created panic and ruined my sunday. but i have the security of being born and raised here now for all of our immigrant families that have come to build their homes, networks, families in san jose, that's created a totally different day. >> san jose mayor matt mehan shared a statement with ktvu on the operations. he clarified that san jose police does not participate in or assist with ice operations in any way. he also said, quote, i sincerely hope that ice remains focused on enforcement actions related to violent and serious criminals harming our city, not neighbors who are contributing and law

abiding members of our community, unquote. now, it's important for immigrants to know that you do have rights, even if you are undocumented. and coming up in the 8:00 hour, we will be speaking with a team member from that rapid response network. so if you want to hear more, stay tuned. we're live this morning in san jose. tori gaines, ktvu, fox two news. >> tori. thank you. 7.35 president trump's cabinet continues to take shape this week. senate committees will start the confirmation hearings for robert f kennedy jr. kash patel and tulsi gabbard. the most recent confirmation hearings placed two trump allies in key roles. kristi noem will now lead the department of homeland security. pete hegseth will be defense secretary. political experts say that president trump has more freedom with his cabinet nominees this term. >> similarly, trump is able to move his agenda without a lot of concern about moderates or institutionalists blocking his agenda. that would not have been the case eight years ago. >> so far, the senate has

confirmed four of the president's nominees. the other two are. former senator marco rubio was confirmed as secretary of state. john ratcliffe confirmed as director of the cia. >> our time now. 736 president trump is ordering the release of more water diverted to southern california after his trip last week here to california. the president signed an executive order overriding existing water policies. he said he wanted to make sure there is adequate water resources in southern california. however, the california aqueduct that carries water south of kern county to l.a. county is run by the state, not the federal government. critics say president trump's executive order will only bring water to farms, not to those communities affected by the wildfires. >> some people who lost their homes in malibu to fire are joining others who say they are frustrated over the response to the disaster. they packed a town hall meeting to confront los angeles county's fire chief and other local leaders. one man in malibu who lost his home said he

used two garden hoses trying to save it, then watched it go up in flames with no fire engines in sight. >> how do i know that next time the fire department will be present and help me defend my home? >> we don't have enough fire trucks to put one on every street. that's the unfortunate truth. i'm sorry that you lost your home. i truly am sorry. >> the palisades fire destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses in malibu alone. hundreds of others were badly damaged in the firestorm. >> all right, garcia, well, there are growing concerns over how those wildfires could affect the water quality and marine life all across southern california. a team of scientists from uc san diego have detected ash and debris coating the ocean surface as far as 100 miles off shore from the smoke from the fires. they're also finding a large amount of toxic materials in the ocean. water tied to the charred rubble from the wildfires. >> we were collecting a lot of

ash and burnt debris. not your typical forest fire ash. as soon as you smelled the debris, it did not smell like your typical bonfire. when you go camping, it smelled very synthetic. >> now, the scientists say the dark colored ash even swirled around in their boat during this research mission, and they said their nets filled up with charred rubble from the wildfires. >> all right, 738. sal always says commuters don't like surprises. so how about you give them word of what you've been watching in the traffic center? >> yeah. surprises are terrible for commuters. they like routine, as you say. and today, the bay bridge and some of the east bay commutes are not very good and they're longer than normal. so let's start. first of all, highway four looks okay. so does 680. those are the routine commutes. 80 though, is much slower. this will be a surprise for you if you come in from richmond. it is jam packed. part of it is because the bay bridge had problems. we also had a problem on the richmond bridge that's cleared up, but it's very

slow. across the entire richmond bridge. 280 is slow. i think it went out of order because i did want to show you the bay bridge. let me let me show you that here. bay bridge is recovering from that earlier crash here. and you can see traffic is just now getting better in the carpool lanes. so yeah, the bay bridge. if you're going today, don't let the surprise you. you need an extra 10 or 15 minutes to stay on track. maybe even more than that. if you're on a schedule, just check. or perhaps consider using transit. 739 let's go back to the desk. >> thank you sal. despite the pricey entrance to disney resorts, many families will save up and make the trip to what's billed as the happiest place on earth. >> and to make sure they don't miss out on freebies or any secret experiences, there are some ways to prepare for that visit. we'll talk more about that unique phenomenon. it's trending on social media on the nine and andre is here as well. >> good morning to both of you. let's get right to the question of the day right here this morning. we're asking, do you consider yourself a disney devotee. and here are your

matchup is all set. it's a rematch of the one we saw just two years ago and last night's afc championship. the chiefs and the bills faced off in kansas city. the game was tied. buffalo managed to come back from an 11 point deficit to take a one point lead in the third. there you go. but several missed two point conversions would come back to bite the bills. kansas city would retake the lead, which brought it all down to a fourth quarter play where josh

allen, he couldn't quite connect under pressure. oh just missed it. patrick mahomes and the chiefs head to their fifth super bowl in six years. the nfc championship game was not quite as tight. the eagles took the lead with a few fast touchdowns and big play. look at this. can anyone tackle saquon barkley. no they cannot. he is not going to be tackled. this basically kept going all day. they never looked back. the commanders looked like they had a chance to start the fourth quarter down only 11. philly would score 21 unanswered. and they just basically had a dominating performance. they beat washington 55 to 23. and in true philadelphia fashion, the fans started climbing the polls. that's why they greased the polls in philly. no shortage of people climbing up those polls despite the city. they're trying to grease the polls. guess what? it's not working. so that means the stage is set for super bowl 59, no less than two weeks away, at the super bowl in new

orleans. the chiefs open as a very slight one and a half point favorite. you can watch the super bowl on sunday, february 9th right here on ktvu fox two. >> thank you sal. 745. here are some of the stories we're following this morning. a vallejo school has closed classes until further notice after copper thieves damaged the campus's electrical system. the vallejo school district says thieves stole copper from solano wiedenmann leadership academy, cutting all electricity to the school sometime between friday evening and early saturday morning. repairs here could take anywhere from a day or two to a couple of weeks. down south here, as firefighters in southern california are bracing for a new challenge now, the threat of mudslides and debris flows following rain over the weekend. burn scars make it more difficult for soil to absorb rain, and the rain can also send harmful debris into the ocean. the national weather service has issued flood watch alerts in many of the same areas that were hit hardest by fire. a live look at oakland here along the estuary. it is a very pretty but very cold start to your day. the

national weather service has issued a freeze warning and a frost advisory in parts of the bay area region that's expected to stay in effect here until about 9:00. >> all right. our time is now 746. can i tell you something, please? there is a huge sell off on wall street this morning. >> particularly in silicon valley. we don't often hear this. pam cook had it back in the 6:00 hour. she's monitoring developing news here. >> tech stocks which have really surged are down here in the us. i'll tell you why. the ai chip stocks amid reports that china, a china based company, is pulling ahead in the competition for ai. we'll talk more about that specifically in just a moment. but as that opening bell rang this morning, nvidia stock dropped down. and it's down about 1 at this hour. it has been considered the leader in the ai chip sector and now faces this new competition from china. broadcom and amd, also based in the bay area, are trading lower as well. the nasdaq, which includes all of the top tech companies in the us, plunged close to 800 points as that bell

rang this morning. and ringing the bell. by the way, i just want to mention shake shack celebrating ten years of listing on the exchange. so one little happy moment there. but as we take a live look at the big board, the nasdaq has come back a little bit from that earlier drop. still down almost 2.5% though. the dow jones faring much better, just down about $45.45 points. that is s&p 500 also down 1.5%. a lot of tech stocks in that index as well. a new chatbot ai chatbot is what's shaking up the tech stocks this morning. deep seek is an artificial intelligence company based in china. now it released its new chatbot app, which is said to perform as well as chatgpt. the big difference? deep sea is free and open source, meaning any company or individual can easily use it and adapt it to their needs. it was also reportedly developed for less than $6 million, compared

to 100 million to $1 billion for other prominent ai models. that led investors to sell tech stocks in the us and japan overnight to buy the chinese competition. and that also sent deep sea to the top of apple's app store. sales of existing homes dropped across the country, but not here in the bay area. data from the national association of realtors shows sales of previously owned homes fell to the lowest level since 1995. analysts say it's while home prices have increased, mortgage rates have also stayed relatively high. however, it's a different story here in the bay area, where home sales bounced back from a 15 year low. real estate agents say since many companies are requiring employees to work in person again, many people are looking for a shorter commute and they're buying homes closer to their job. winemakers in california are seeing lower profits, but that could actually be good news for some wine lovers. consumers can expect to see lower prices on wine thanks to a massive oversupply.

typically, wine brands don't outright discount their products because it hurts their brand image. however, they will sell their wine at a lower price through a private label at stores like trader joe's or safeway. i'm pam cook. let's look at your dollars and cents. >> pam. thank you. 749 straight back to that traffic center. what are you watching most closely here, sal? >> you know garcia, the bay bridge, because we had that crash. we've been talking about garcia and dave and still kind of lingering effects whenever there's a crash on the bay bridge, and we are at full capacity as we are today, this is what happens. and it also ends up affecting interstate 80 and 580. so we have slow traffic this morning approaching the bay bridge, 30 minute plus delay before you make it onto the bridge. also this morning we do have traffic that is going to be busy on the san mateo bridge. that bridge is going to be busy. i think a lot of people are using that as an alternative and well, it's okay, but it's not. it's not great. got to be honest

with you. it's not great. as you drive out toward the high rise 280 and 101 in san jose, that's more of a normal ish commute. so not a lot of surprises there. as you can see. i put the grid up there. northbound 280 and 101 and 85 are all pretty slow getting into that west valley. 750 let's bring roberta back in with today's weather. >> now i want to ask you, eagles or chiefs, who are you going with? >> well, i don't like either team, but i think i'm going to i think i'm going to go with the nfc and the chiefs. >> the chiefs. yeah i favor jalen hurts only because he was qb for the university of oklahoma. >> wait a minute. did i say the chiefs. >> yeah you did. >> i said i meant the eagles nfc and the eagles is what i'm thinking. yeah you see i really don't like either team. >> no you don't. >> but but the eagles and because they are the nfc team i want the nfc to win. >> well just come on over to my house. we won't. we'll just eat. that's good. we'll just eat and watch the game okay. hi everybody. good morning to you. your morning headlines and

morning sunshine. some seasonal temperatures later today. rain by friday evening and then lingering showers over the weekend. but we're kick starting this morning. look at these numbers. morgan hill, one particular neighborhood down to 24. springtown in livermore, 28 mill valley at 30. it's freezing. if you plan on golfing at coyote creek in the south bay. burlingame peninsula. 33 berkeley. 33 sunnyvale. now at 34, it's cold everywhere, cold valley and san francisco at 37 degrees. and this is why the national weather service has issued a frost advisory, a freeze watch and a freeze warning not only this morning, but each and every morning through thursday morning. a cold slot of air has trickled into the bay area, leaving us with 34 degrees and half moon bay backing through moss beach into montara beach. good morning to you. in fremont you sit at 32. it's equally as freezing in alviso and milpitas it's

freezing and walnut creek back into alamo as well. 35 at mineta international airport. these winds are slight, but it's enough to kick up a wind chill factor, making it colder than what the actual temperature is at this hour. these winds will be northeasterly up to ten today. wow. oh, wow. dave, can i have some applause for this? >> that's. that's a beauty shot. >> i got to check and see who's in tiktok. is it doug this morning? because these are beautiful views. visibility is unlimited due to high pressure. fully in command. look at the clear slot of the air that has filtered into the bay area. low pressure to the south of us. this is that area of low pressure. look at the precipitation and a counterclockwise fashion around the core that's sitting over just about l.a.x. it is producing some problems as far as mudslides are concerned. right here, pacific palisades, right there on pch and then over here in the altadena area, home of the eaton canyon fire. we've

had some precipitation this morning, up to about 2/10 of an inch there, but over an inch in santa monica, also in malibu and also in pacific palisades. so that's why we're seeing the runoff in the form of mudslide, landslides and debris flows locally. sunny skies today, 5060s across the board. and check out the lows tonight. similar to this morning. your extended forecast. we've got rain arriving by the end of the workweek in and out of the rain with cooler temperatures this weekend, dave. and we can use it. >> we sure can. all right, roberta, thank you. time now, 754. more companies bringing more employees back to their offices in 2025. next at 8:00, the new poll showing what the workers think about that plan. and it's a much anticipated event in oakland that has people lining up around the block. we'll show you this year's

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.

six, thousands of people from all across the bay area and beyond headed for oakland for the annual white elephant sale yesterday before dawn. dozens of people. look at this. they camped out to be the first in line. now hosted by the oakland museum women's board, it's northern california's oldest and biggest market. from glassware to toys to clothing to furniture and a lot more. there was so

much to see. >> i think it's the generosity of the community and the wonderful things that we find inside. >> seems like it's a communal experience. >> totally. we actually just met some new friends today. we're gonna go in there and shop around with them now. >> hundreds of thousands of donated items are on sale. they were sorted out by almost a thousand volunteers. the proceeds from the sale benefit the oakland museum of california. that sale has raised more than $30 million over the last six decades. and by the way, the sale will be open again on wednesday. well, san ramon held its annual culture in community celebration. the doherty station community arts center really came alive with international performances, cultural booths, children's activities and prizes, and the event featured cultures from around the world and people who were there. they were encouraged to wear attire representing their country of origin.

>> you don't have to travel to all these different places. you can go talk to your neighbor. you can go talk to your friend. you can learn about their background and their history, their art, the music, all the different types of cultural celebrations and foods. those are all great things to be able to learn from your neighbors. and this event that we have here in ceremony is a great opportunity to be able to do that. >> the way is san ramon's eighth year hosting the community and culture celebration. well, a small island has just been sold for $3.8 million, and that ends a long time dispute point. butler island was sold at auction to the john muir land trust last week. the battle over that land started between its former owner, john sweeney, and regulators back in 2016. now, sweeney was facing a violation of the clean water act over the work he did on the levees, and a court ordered sweeney to remove an unpermitted building. well, he lost his bid to reverse the fines. the island, which is north of bay point, has been

used as a club for duck hunters and windsurfers. >> and we discovered that a majority of the copper wiring, if not most of the copper wiring, had been stripped from the breakers and the big units basically leaving the campus dark. >> a bay area school hit by copper thieves forcing the campus to shut down. how long it could be until students can return to the classroom. plus. >> if a mudflow or debris flow starts, it's too late to get out. >> the fires in southern california making way for a new concern rain and mudslides. then the trump administration ramping up its promised immigration crackdown across the country. white house officials say criminals are the target, but other leaders say that's not always the case. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good mornings on two at 8:00. as you look live across oakland this morning and jack london square. we're waking up to another chilly morning on this monday. thank you so much

for joining us. i'm andre senior. >> good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian. it's monday, january 27th. let's get straight to the weather here. roberta gonzalez reporting on a very cold start to a monday and some changes ahead. >> but with the cold weather. take a look at the pristine conditions right behind you there. that is just postcard perfect. morning, everybody. rise and shine. and yes, as you step on out the door this morning, make sure you are dressed in layers. we do have an awfully chilly start to your day, but full sunshine later. a very pretty winter day, and then by the end of the workweek, a weather whiplash with rain arriving. but this morning. what you need to know. frost advisory. freeze! watch. freeze! warning. in effect. look at these numbers. springtown was down to 28 now, jumping up to 31, but still below freezing. walnut creek back into danville, freezing 34. in nicasio and novato backing all the way into larkspur along the peninsula. freezing temperatures from palo alto through woodside, atherton

into burlingame. and 39 now in san jose. later today, a bit of a recovery, 58 to 63. pretty seasonable. we'll talk more about the local forecast and track the incoming storm together. but right now, sal castaneda, he's in the house. morning, sal. >> morning, roberto. we have to start on the peninsula this time. northbound 101 at oyster point. there's a car fire, and the chp issued a sig alert for the area. because the car was fully involved, and it's causing a big backup in both directions. in south city, this may be the morning for you to use 280 northbound if you can, because 101 is a mess in both directions. also, talking about the east bay commute, we have a crash eastbound 24 at pleasant hill road. we also have very heavy traffic from richmond all the way to berkeley, to a very crowded bay bridge because of an earlier crash. 802 let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. more than 600 students cannot go to school today. that's because thieves stole copper wiring from a

school in vallejo, leaving it without any power. ktvu james torres live in vallejo this morning with the details. james. >> yeah, andre, we're talking about solano whitman leadership academy here in the city of vallejo. it's a school that serves students from k to eighth grade, and that's about more than 600 students that come here every day. the superintendent says over the weekend, there were a group of people who were here supposed to report to a basketball tournament. but it was yesterday, around 9:00 this morning, that group of people realized the school campus was completely dark. they say copper wiring was supposed to be protected by cages, but these were able to break in and steal it all. and now damage estimates are coming in close to $200,000. >> from our general fund, which impacts what we can do for our kids. it means taking dollars directly from our students, which is unfortunate that these, you know, this community has a lot of pride. and, you know, when these things happen, it's

so disheartening. >> the problem now is figuring out how to get the more than 600 students back to a classroom. that's what school leaders say they will work on and meet about today. they'll likely use nearby campuses of other schools as a temporary displacement while repairs are underway. no word on how long those repairs will take, but the superintendent says that they are working as fast as they can to come up with these solutions. they're asking for the patience of the community. at the same time, they did report this incident to the vallejo police department. we will be reaching out as well to see where they stand with the investigation. we are live this morning in vallejo. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james thank you. 804 now the trump administration is taking action to fulfill the president's campaign promise of cracking down on people who are in the united states illegally. immigration and customs enforcement reports raids and arrests in several states, including an early morning raid in colorado where almost 50 people were taken into custody.

some were reported to be suspected members of a venezuelan gang. at a rally in las vegas, the president said the gangs days are numbered. >> that is the bloodthirsty ms13 gangs that we have gotten all over the place. we'll get them out. we'll get them out. >> several states led by democrats are now passing new laws to toughen laws that protect migrants. some lawmakers say the crackdown goes beyond getting tough on criminals and gang members. >> going after people who are law abiding, who are holding down jobs, who have families here. these are not people who are causing problems in our country. and what we need is a path to citizenship for them. >> white house border czar tom homan says immigration officers are prioritizing criminals. the white house says president trump's threat of big tariffs is helping in the crackdown on illegal immigration. the administration is claiming victory after colombia agreed to accept flights of migrants deported from the u.s. colombia had rejected two planes carrying deported migrants and accused president trump of taking away their dignity. however, the

white house ordered visa travel restrictions against colombians and 25% tariffs on all colombian incoming goods, which would increase to 50% in another week. of those, planes were not allowed to land. >> well, none of this. 805 the estimated cost in southern california of the wildfires is skyrocketing. more than $250 million. now that's an early estimate from weather forecasting service accuweather and includes not just the cost of damages, but also disruptions to business and other impacts to the economy. one aspect that drove those prices up is high home prices. many of the homes destroyed in malibu and pacific palisades were worth several million dollars each. recovery efforts are far from over for l.a. county residents. firefighters are now bracing for a new concern. potential mudslides and debris flows from this weekend's rain. precipitation finally moved into the los angeles area yesterday morning. it's the first time that's happened since last spring. and while it's good news for controlling the major wildfires, it's bringing the threat of slides in the hillside to the fire zones higher. >> if a mudflow or debris flow

starts, it's too late to get out. >> we've suffered this terrible loss of thousands of homes, but thousands of homes did survive and now they're under threat. so our focus right now is to save, to help save the homes that we can. >> reporter the wildfires destroyed trees and brush on the hillsides, making it more difficult for the soil to absorb any rain. and the debris from burned homes and businesses can easily be picked up by any flowing water and make its way to the ocean. the national weather service has issued flood watch alerts in many of the same areas hit hardest by the wildfires. on top of the mudslide, concerns are ash and debris worries. the palisades and eton fires burned in urban areas, charring homes, cars, electronics and other items containing dangerous chemicals. this is putting plastics, pesticides and more toxic chemicals into the air and the wind is continuing to spread the lingering ash. because of this, parents are worried kids may be returning to school a little too early. >> canyon reopens at the current site. it is now in the next few weeks. we're not sending our kids back.

>> children often have more hand to mouth behavior, and their bodies are rapidly growing in these first few years, and so they can be more sensitive to this type of pollution. >> the los angeles unified school district says workers are examining ventilation systems, cleaning facilities and installing air purifiers to ensure students safe return. some schools are also under a do not drink water advisory, so water fountains are turned off and schools are giving bottled water to students. >> you can't just shoot down i-5 today if you're heading to southern california because the main artery, interstate five, is closed over the grapevine due to snow. this is a live look here at that truck escape ramp i know you've seen coming down the hill in lebec. well, north of los angeles. you can see no cars are headed through the area. a typical for what we would be seeing on any other monday morning. video now of the backup in castaic, a bit farther to the south, you can see a lot of semi trucks stuck on the road. nowhere to go. at this point, we don't know yet when interstate five will reopen. the closest detour isn't great. you could go

all the way out to tehachapi pass or if you have the time, you can take the scenic route. take highway one. >> 808, and as you mentioned, we'll be checking that because i assume it's going to open at some point today, especially if you're leaving now. by the time you get there, if you're driving, it should be open. but we'll check for you. let's stay here in the bay area and talk about 880. it's pretty slow and it hasn't caught a lot of attention because other commutes have been worse. but between hayward and union city we have a bunch of stuff. some of the crashes have been cleared to the side, but it hasn't been great this morning. let's talk about some of these other things we're talking about here. the peninsula. northbound 101 chp issued a sig alert for northbound 101 at oyster point. they had a car on fire, and now that car has to be towed away. it was completely burned out. 101 is in terrible shape. you look at eastbound 24. there's a crash there. highway four has been normal. and i want to tell you that the bay bridge is finally looking a little bit

more normal. it's backed up all the way out to 580. 24, though, because of earlier issues. 809 let's go back to the desk. >> sal. thank you. the lunar new year is on wednesday, and san francisco's chinatown was filled with flowers this weekend as people get ready to usher in the year of the snake. >> the price of eggs is not expected to come down any time soon, and that has people across the key matters into their own hands. what they're doing in their own backyards. >> after a car accident.

city leaders in san jose have confirmed u.s. immigration and customs agents were in the city this weekend conducting operations. it appeared they were carrying out existing arrest orders. we reached out to immigration and customs enforcement for details, and to find out whether the agency is conducting other operations in the bay area. ktvu tori gaines will join us at 830. she has the story of what a south bay woman did upon seeing immigration officers, and the stage is set for super bowl 59, less than two weeks away at the superdome in new orleans. it will be a repeat of the matchup from two years ago. the kansas city chiefs and the philadelphia eagles. the chiefs open as very slight one and a half point favorites. you can watch the super bowl on sunday february 9th right here on ktvu fox two. >> two days away from the start of the lunar new year, celebrations are underway across the bay area. hundreds headed to san francisco's chinatown for the final day of the annual chinese new year. flower market along grand avenue. lining the streets with dozens of booths. one vendor told us the market is a great way to help people shop for the new year.

>> this would draw a lot of people to chinatown. yeah. and people are so happy right now. the money tree. a lot of things, you know, that people that they celebrate in the chinese new year. >> the next big event will be an opening ceremony on the first day of the lunar new year. that's this wednesday at portsmouth square. >> 814. now, the bird flu outbreak is expected to cause the price of eggs in the u.s. to soar to record breaking highs this year. and that has a growing number of american consumers taking matters into their own hands. some people are raising their own chickens instead of buying eggs at the grocery store. backyard chicken coops are now popping up outside the homes of egg lovers outside and across the country. >> since eating here is tripled. so i'm going back to oregon, where i can raise my own chickens. >> in a joke the other day with one of my friends, i said i might as well just start investing in my own chickens. >> well, it's easy to understand why raising chickens is becoming more common. the consumer price index shows u.s. egg prices have soared near 37% when compared to

this time last year, a new government report found. those prices will likely climb another 20% this year. >> more people are turning to a little known travel option in hopes of saving money on a vacation home. swapping it works when you and a total stranger agree to swap homes for a defined period of time so you can be a visitor in the other person's city. people who do it say it helps you experience a new place, like a local, and say it's more economical than paying for a hotel room or vacation rental. >> swapping has been skyrocketing in popularity over the past few years, especially since the pandemic, as travel costs have increased. >> there are a number of home swapping groups and sites. in one kindred, people can search for homes around the world. the platforms do charge a membership fee, but hosts never exchange money. top destinations here in the u.s. include los angeles, san francisco, seattle and austin. >> interesting idea to be sure to save a bunch of money, because hotels and airbnbs can cost. >> you have to, like, put all your secret things in a closet

and lock the door. that's, you know, do you want someone living in your home? is the question. >> some airbnb people still live in their houses. you know, they just airbnb it when they're out of town. so you just have to have the right setup going on. all right. time now. six. eight. 16. sal castaneda is back with us with a check of the roads. have been busy this morning, sal. >> it sure has. andre and i just checked with los angeles chp. grapevine is still closed. if you're trying to drive down there, i assume that you know, by the time you make it there and 6 to 8 hours, whenever you get there, it will be open. but right now, it's still closed. bay bridge still slow, although it's improving a little bit from what we had earlier. we had a bunch of slow traffic because of a crash there. i want to mention that traffic is going to be slow. still on the peninsula northbound 101, we had a car fire and a sigalert. northbound 101 at oyster point, the car completely burned down and southbound 101 is slow. don't be late for your flight. now, if you're coming out of san francisco, you might want to think about using 280, which is a little more predictable as you head south. that traffic jam

anyway, and the south bay has been slow. things are just a little bit slower on 280. 101 and 85 this morning. it's kind of a kind of a brutal monday. got to be honest there. 817. let's bring roberta back in with today's weather. >> quick question for you here. when it's this cold outside, do they put frost holes on your golf course? >> no, no, not that i. but the thing is, when it's this cold, i usually don't play. >> so that means steve has to sleep in a little bit longer before he goes on out there this morning. then. okay, then. hey, how cold has it been so far this morning? try 24 degrees in morgan hill. pockets of cold temperatures in and around the livermore area, including springtown at 28. mill valley at 30 degrees. freezing at coyote creek. if you're heading out to play a round of golf there. look at burlingame equally as cold and same story in berkeley. sunnyvale 34 and cold valley and san francisco dropped to 37 degrees. these chilly

temperatures are with us each and every morning all the way through thursday. that's why the national weather service has issued a frost advisory, or a freeze watch or a freeze warning each morning. until then, look at the numbers in your neighborhood. 37 degrees in hayward, mid 30s, and throughout castro valley. how about 31 at the airport in livermore? it is now high 30s around the rose garden district. 37 degrees along the sea shore. it is cold out there. bundle up. and when the wind does pick up, even though it's under ten miles per hour, we start to talk about a wind chill factor, which means it's feeling colder than it actually is. but the sky is pristine. visibility is unlimited at this hour. there's the cold slot with the passage of that area of low pressure. it's spinning its wheels over southern california. you can see that the core is right about here over the la area. you can see the spokes of rain, sleet and snow counterclockwise. fashion. rain has now ended right there around pacific

palisades. a little bit of sleet in the mountainous areas above 1000ft in pasadena and altadena. and then we do have the snow. it has come to an end around the grapevine where sal says it still is closed. rainfall amounts in the past 24 hours. santa monica with over an inch approaching an inch at lax. keep in mind none of these areas have seen any rainfall since april of last year. and when i was walking around there last week, their drains are not cleared out at all, so there's a lot of ponding on the roadways. in addition to toxic materials that are running off from the burn scarred areas. we have a better, brighter picture. we have sunny skies today, temperature wise, pretty seasonal. 58 to 63 degrees. that's the span. and check it out tonight. equally as cold tomorrow and the rest of the week dry until friday. we cloud up leading to rain showers by friday night through your

saturday. a lingering chance by sunday. and bring it on. we need it, gang. >> roberta. thank you. coming up here, your morning starbucks visit may be a bit different this morning. how the coffee giant is bringing back a personal touch that went away years ago, and why people want to take a diy approach are in luck. >> the battle for ai dominance in the tech industry has a new competitor. why? a chinese company's big announcement sent silicon valley stocks tumbling this morning

touches of black. they say a lot without having to say much. they stand for elegance. refinement. and prestige. even a little can go a long way. and though they're darker than the darkest night. they make you see everything in a new light. get 1.9% apr for up to 60 months on the purchase of select new 2025 sportage and 2025 sorento models.

a treat this morning. >> especially for tech stocks in silicon valley, which we don't usually see. pam cook is monitoring a very interesting dollars and cents. >> yeah, rough day for a lot of investors in these tech companies in silicon valley. the ai chip stocks in particular are down this morning nvidia, broadcom, amd all based here in the bay area amid reports that a china based company is pulling ahead in the competition for ai. more on that specifically in just a moment as we go to the opening bell earlier this morning, shake shack rang the bell to celebrate ten years listed on the exchange, but that was pretty much the only cheering going on right now. nvidia stock down more than 12%. it has been considered the leader in the ai chip sector, but now faces that new competition from china. the nasdaq, which includes all of the top tech stocks in the us, plunged close to 800 points as that bell rang this morning. as

we take a live look at the numbers. the nasdaq has come back a little bit, but still down 3%. it's down more than 600 points, the s&p 500 down almost 2%. back below that 6000 mark down more than 100 points. the dow jones as you can see a live look there faring the best. not as many tech stocks there and the dow jones down just slightly. now the drop for the tech stocks is being blamed on a new ai chatbot out of china. deep seek released its new chatbot app, which is said to perform as well as chatgpt. the big difference? deep seek is free and open sourced, which means any company or individual can easily use it and adapt it to their needs. it was also reportedly developed for less than $6 million, compared to 100 million to $1 billion for other prominent ai models. that led investors to sell the tech stocks in the us and japan overnight to buy the chinese competition. it also sent deep seek to the top of apple's app

store as the most downloaded free app. well, it appears many americans who are still working from home hate the prospect of returning to the office five days a week, a new study found. nearly half of those workers would likely quit their jobs if they were ordered to return to the office full time. at the same time, u.s. employee employers continue to scale back remote work that hit a peak during the pandemic. the pew research study found 75% of u.s. companies now require their workers to come into the office at least a few days a week, and starbucks is rolling out some changes that take effect today. they are changes that may remind many customers of the old starbucks. the chain is bringing back the condiment bars after they were taken away during the height of the pandemic, so you can add your own additions to your coffee. the baristas will also return to handwriting customers names on their cups instead of printing out labels. the company says. both changes are part of starbucks plan to reboot the coffee house vibe and

lure back those customers. i'm pam cook. let's look at your dollars and cents. >> pam. thank you. 826 upset over what they say was an inadequate response in an emergency. how one southern california resident who watched his house burn confronted the fire chief and what he got in response. >> immtionaids are being carried out across the country and here in the bay area. what local advocates in our area are doing to make sure people are prepared and know their rights?

for all those making it big out there... ...shouldn't your mobile service be able to keep up with you? get wifi speeds up to a gig at home and on the go. introducing powerboost, only from xfinity mobile. now that's big. xfinity internet customers, cut your mobile bill in half vs. t-mobile, verizon, and at&t for your first year. plus, ask how to get the new samsung galaxy s25+ on us.

can we go to work? can we go shopping? can we go see our relatives? >> immigrants and their supporters are nervous. after an ice operation in san jose over the weekend. the wider impact of action on illegal immigration in the first week of president trump's second term. then, after criticizing california water policy in the wake of a massive southern california firestorm, the president is making moves with our water supply. but critics say the changes won't have the intended effect. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm andre senior. it's monday, january 27th, almost the end of the month. still pretty dry and cold. roberto gonzalez is in for steve paulson this morning with a look at your forecast. good morning to you roberta. >> good morning. and andre you nailed it. still cold and dry.

but the dry part is going to change. and then the cold will change too. because when you have the increasing clouds, that serves as a blanket. good morning, everybody. for this monday morning kick starting with a cold forecast. bundle up out the door. it certainly is clear. and it's going to pan out to be a nice pretty day. but by the end of the workweek, increasing cloud cover will lead to a weather whiplash in the form of rain arriving. but this morning, it's a frost advisory. a freeze watch. a freeze warning each and every morning through thursday morning, with the clear skies and temperatures into the 20s and 30s. in fact, this morning it dipped down to 28 in livermore. it's now rebounded to 31 degrees. it's 36 degrees still in san francisco as well as santa rosa. san jose is at 39 degrees and later today, 58 to 63 degrees. not bad. that's pretty seasonal. with the bright sunshine. we'll talk about the rain when it will arrive in the

days it will affect. but right now, here is sal castaneda. okay. which area is the problematic area now? >> well the peninsula, we were talking about it. i don't want people to miss their flights. roberta on southbound 101 coming out of san francisco, it might surprise you that 101 is so slow. however, they cleared the car fire and took the car off the freeway, so things should begin to improve a little bit and hopefully things will just get better now that everything is gone and there's no more, there's nothing to see. southbound, by the way, was never blocked, but people were taking a look at the car that was on fire. and then the aftermath. east bay commute still slow. eastbound, 24 pleasant hill road. we have that crash. traffic is nearly backed up from orinda all the way out to the area. i want to let you know that traffic is also going to be slow on 880. heading south and at the bay bridge, we are backed up beyond the maze. 832. let's get back to the headlines. >> sal. thank you. the trump administration ramping up its detainment of undocumented immigrants across the country. some people in san jose say they

spotted immigration agents in their city on sunday. ktvu tori gaines live outside of san jose city hall with more tori. >> good morning. garcia. yeah, the reports of those ice operations were first spotted on social media, which obviously put people in this community into a bit of a worried state. now, we've seen ice operations in several major cities across the country since president trump's inauguration, from newark to chicago, as well as in san francisco. city officials and advocates here in san jose, confirming to ktvu on sunday that ice agents were in the area. agents were spotted as at a residence near story and king roads and at a target nearby. now, this coming after local immigrant support organization called the rapid response network, received more than 100 calls stating ice agents were spotted in the area. now, we spoke with one woman who saw them for herself. >> i was documenting both with my camera and mentally what was

going on. now that created panic and ruined my sunday. but i have the security of being born and raised here. now, for all of our immigrant families that have come to build their homes, networks, families in san jose, that's created a totally different day. >> now, san jose mayor matt mehan shared a statement with ktvu on the operations. he clarified that san jose police do not participate in or assist ice operations in any way, saying, quote, i sincerely hope that ice remains focused on enforcement actions related to violent and serious criminals harming our city and not neighbors who are contributing and law abiding members of our community, unquote. now, it's also important for immigrants to know that even if you are in the country and you don't have the proper paperwork, you do have rights. coming up next, we're

going to be hearing from a team member with the rapid response network, and she'll have more information. so stay tuned. we're live this morning in san jose. tori gaines, ktvu, fox two news. >> tori. thank you. 8.34 is your time. immigrant advocate groups across the bay area are launching new programs and efforts in response to the increase in enforcement by the new trump administration. and some say it's reminiscent of work they did back in 2017. we're joined now by jan de vries with the north bay organizing project. jen, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having us. >> so, jen, first let's start with this. what fears are you seeing right now among the north bay communities, the schools of farmworkers there? >> yeah, we're you know, hearing a lot of fear and anxiety, very real fear from our immigrant farm workers, from family members for from family members who have undocumented folks in our family. and what we're trying to do is combat this fear with our solidarity work with our mutual aid, aid work as well, that we can, you know, address this fear with the connections that we have within

ourselves. >> so. so what are you all doing now there in terms of reaching out? how are you helping the community right now? >> yeah. so back in 2017, the north bay organizing project launched the rapid response network, which is a rapid response network through three counties sonoma, solano and napa county, which is a 24 over seven hotline that community members can call. it is organized within the community and by the community to help offer people those resources that they need. people call for various reasons. some it's for support for getting connected to legal support, but oftentimes it is for concerns about witnessing ice. and it is our job. and what we're doing is to try to build trust within the community and prevent misinformation by confirming those sightings. are they real? and if so, we have legal observers both to document ice activity but also to offer accompaniment to people. you know, we're trying to build this solidarity work between organizations within ourselves to not let this fear intimidate

us. >> so you have the 24 hour hotline that's linking immigrants to legal advice. what kind of concerns are you hearing from them in terms of when they're seeing these ice raids? i don't think there have been any up in that area yet. but but what are you telling the folks that are calling in? >> you know, we're they're you know, first we're there to support them and help them through this process. you know, we're we're gathering information about, you know, what they're seeing. and then, you know, tell them that we'll get back to them. and then we'll, you know, send people out in our team to make sure that this is, you know, a real report. and then and then from there, you know, disperse that information to keep our communities safe. but more than anything, what we're hearing is people calling, you know, wanting to empower themselves in their community with know your rights information, with how can they support their community members, what organizations are around that can give them that information that they need. and so we're also using our networks to connect people with that, with that work and, you know, telling them about the red cards or the tarjetas rojas so that

they have that information. >> jen, what what are some of the information that you want people out there to know right now? what is some of the overarching concerns that you want to get across to folks? >> some of the overarching concerns is that, you know, we you know, we've been here and we are continuing to do the work, and we won't let this, this fear intimidate us. if you're concerned, call your local rapid response network. they're throughout many different counties in california. continue to build the networks that you have. you know, what we're seeing is the power of, you know, people who are organizing within their communities. at schools, in healthcare institutions, people are organizing their spaces to be prepared. and that's what's building the power and solidarity. so the message we want to get out is to continue to do that work, because we know how to keep each other safe. >> all right. jen devries with the north bay organizing project's immigration defense task force. thank you so much for joining us this morning. we

appreciate your time. >> thank you for having us. >> all right. >> 8.38 people have their jackets on behind us as they walk along the oakland estuary. roberto gonzalez. i think i've been living in my jacket for the past month. >> i'm right there with you in our uggs, our little boots, to keep our feet warm as well because, boy, this has been one of the coldest mornings so far this year. check out some of the numbers anywhere around the moraga and orinda area. we've had temperatures dip down to the mid 20s. same around morgan hill and in springtown in livermore mill valley 30 degrees freezing at coyote creek and burlingame. check that out. 33 degrees around the peninsula this morning. same around berkeley. sunnyvale dipped to 34 and cold valley and san francisco 37. same around the haight. we do have a frost advisory. a freeze watch. a freeze warning just for the next 20 minutes. these temperatures are gradually recovering. we're up to 31 degrees after 28 in livermore. 34 now in fremont. after freezing early this morning,

it's now jumped to 43 around the belmont area, as well as sfo back through portola valley. the winds are light. thank goodness. or we would be talking about a wind chill. these winds today northeasterly and easterly up to about ten. look at that. with the cold air filtering in we've got nothing but the abundance of clear skies. visibility is unlimited. there's that clear slot. there's the rain over southern california, spinning its wheels in a counterclockwise fashion. flash flood watches are allowed to expire. snow fell in the grapevine area. sleet around altadena up to about 1000ft in elevation. back at home. our numbers back in between 58 degrees in pacifica, moss beach. montara beach to 60 across the bay and emeryville. alameda back through piedmont, 60 in fremont and milpitas. how about high 50s around mountain view? outside number 63. the extended forecast featuring rain and when you should expect it in your

in california after his trip here last week, the president signed an executive order overriding existing water policies, and that makes sure there's adequate water resources in southern california. however, the california aqueduct that carries water south of kern county to l.a. county is run by the state, not the federal government. critics say president trump's executive order will only bring water to farms, not to communities impacted by the fires. >> some people who lost their homes in malibu to fire are joining others who say they are frustrated over the response to the disaster. they packed a town hall meeting to confront los angeles county's fire chief and other local leaders. one man in malibu who lost his home said he used two garden hoses trying to save it. said he ended up watching it go up in flames with no fire engines in sight. >> how do i know that next time the fire department will be present and help me defend my home? >> we don't have enough fire trucks to put one on every

street. that's the unfortunate truth. i'm sorry that you lost your home. i truly am sorry. >> the palisades fire destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses in malibu alone. hundreds more were badly damaged in the firestorm. >> there are growing concerns over how those wildfires could impact the weather, quality and marine life across southern california. a team of scientists from uc san diego have detected ash and debris coating the ocean surface as far as 100 miles off shore from the billowing smoke. they're also finding a large amount of toxic materials in the ocean, water tied to charred rubble from the wildfires. >> we're collecting a lot of ash and burnt debris. not your typical forest fire ash. as soon as you smelled the debris, it did not smell like your typical bonfire. when you go camping, it smelled very synthetic. >> the scientists say the dark colored ash even swirled around in their boat during the research mission, and their nets filled up with charred rubble from the wildfires. >> as fire survivors start to shift into cleanup and recovery

mode in southern california, people from the bay area and beyond are helping in any number of ways. this includes a dear friend of ours, former ktvu anchor ken wayne, and his nonprofit, flying tails. >> he and several pilots have been flying dogs from l.a. county shelters to the bay area to make room for animals found in the fire zone. ken spoke with our frank mallicoat about how it all started with an opportunity just a few years ago. >> one day this thing popped up on this email group and it was two bear cubs needed to get from south lake tahoe to ramona in san diego county because their mother had been hit by a car and they were too young to hibernate, so they wanted them in warm weather for the winter. and i was like, oh man, what a great not only a great trip, but a great story. so i had a bunch of cameras that i put in the plane's little gopros and so on, and i got the trip, went down and did it and did the story. and it just like was a whole, you know, different level of what was going on. and it just

kept me going. i just, i just got so much satisfaction out of telling the stories of why these animals needed to be moved. >> well, you just finished a big rescue with, i believe, four other planes and pilots. talk about going down to the fire zone and bringing back some, as you call them, big dogs. >> yeah, well, i mean, they're 70 pounds plus. some of them were close to 100 pounds. and so for other planes, five in total, i call it our la airlift. we had three planes out of hayward, one out of concord and mine out of petaluma. we all met in van nuys with la animal services. they had a bunch of dogs from three different shelters in la. what we're doing is taking those dogs that had been in the shelters since before the fires and getting them up here where they can be adopted and make room in the shelters down there for the animal fire victims as they continue to come in. so that was the whole purpose of that. so we moved a bunch of dogs up here, got them happy homes or in the process of getting happy homes

right now. and we're ready to go back and get get some more animals. >> you touched on it, but can you just talk about the sheer satisfaction? you're an old news guy. you're a big pilot, but there's something about taking care of an animal that just warms your heart, i guess. right? >> yeah. you know, and you can you can be jaded after being in this business for a long time. right? so you're you're empathy factor seems to kind of go down a little bit in some cases, especially in human stories where it's like people do dumb things and it's kind of sometimes hard to feel sorry for them. and when they make the news, when they do dumb things, animals are animals, and a lot of the things that happen to them are completely out of their control. so i feel, i guess, more empathy in many respects for animals, children, of course, but animals that find themselves in a situation that through no fault of their own and need some help. >> it does cost money to fly the planes. and i know you've got a big fundraiser in sonoma on february the 6th. tell our

viewers about that and how they can get involved. >> so we're having a fundraiser february 6th at 5 p.m. at the hannah center in sonoma. it's kind of an auditorium facility. we're getting a bunch of people together who enjoy being around animals and want to support what we're doing to move wild animals and domestic animals to safety. we have a frank sinatra tribute artist from the city, jonathan poritz. he's very, very good. and his seven piece band, they're going to perform why frank sinatra? well, frank sinatra liked dogs, so that's a very loose connection to what we're doing at the benefit. and we're going to have a lot of great, pet friendly kinds of prizes and auction items to put out there. and we also are going to have a special surprise announcement that night, which i'm not going to tell you here. frank, as much as i love you, buddy. but that night, we have a big announcement about how flying tails is going to be more widely seen, not only in the bay area, but perhaps across the country. so we're excited about

that. >> it's pretty, pretty impressive work. i've been following his work on instagram as he posts videos before he even started the la part of things, but but going and rescuing animals around different parts of the country as well. so it's pretty cool to see what he's doing here. >> yeah, he's flown bear cubs. he's flown bald eagle. i mean, we should mention ken is a navy veteran, so he knows what he is doing in the cockpit. he's an all around great guy. i mean, sal, you know him as well as we do. longer even. and i will say a lot of kind of the journalism lessons that he taught most of us when we were coming up are still in effect today. >> yeah. and, you know, he really does. he really does love journalism and flying. so this is perfect for him. right. so i'm glad to see he's doing well. all right. one more traffic report here before we start tonight. and i want to let you know that the bay bridge is still very slow from earlier things that happened. it is now a little bit more normal, but it's backed up beyond the maze. metering lights are on. san mateo bridge is a little busier than normal. i do want to

mention that the peninsula is finally better. we had a crash. i was actually. i take that back. it was a car fire that was in south city. look how much better 101 has become. it's still a little slow out of san francisco, but it's improving quite a bit. the only problem is now we have a crash southbound 280, in south city, daly city. it's at hickey boulevard, and we have a big backup building there. so, you know, it's just one of those mondays. that seems to me we had a lot of glitches in this commute. 850. let's bring roberto gonzalez back in here. >> and we have a lot of jackets in our weather forecast. sal, what a cold start. this has to be the coldest morning so far this year. we've had temperatures dipped between 24 and 25 degrees in the morgan hill area. also out towards the tri valley. right now we do have that frost advisory, a freeze watch, a freeze warning in effect this morning for the next few minutes until 9 a.m, then allowed to expire, but then it'll go back up later on tonight through tomorrow

morning, wednesday morning and through thursday morning then done. right now we're still below freezing in throughout the tri valley. it's 40 in hayward and across the bay 43 now near belmont and san carlos and burlingame. high 30s still in throughout willow glen, cupertino and campbell. it's now 39, in novato and cooler than that. to the north in santa rosa. the winds are under ten will be out of the northeast, offshore and easterly. today, 5 to 10mph clear skies. visibility is unlimited. under the influence of high pressure. you can see the clear slot here with that cooler air mass that has filtered into place behind this area of low pressure, spinning its wheels in a counterclockwise fashion, producing spokes of rain showers. in fact, we've seen over an inch of rain in throughout santa monica, nearly a full inch in throughout malibu. so there has been some mudslides. there has been some

of the debris flow as well. that should be all cut off later on this afternoon. we will see increasing cloud cover by wednesday, but until then we're talking about a seasonal day. temperatures into the 50s and low 60s, right where we should be for this time of year. but tonight, overnight, with the clear skies again, pretty similar conditions into the 30s for the most part, freezing temperatures with that advisory watch and warning into place. so here we go. a few high thin clouds. on tuesday. we begin to cloud up on chinese new year on wednesday. those clouds thicken up on thursday for sure, leading to the potential of rain showers by friday night. on again, off again on your saturday and perhaps a lingering shower on your sunday. so bring it on. we need it, gang. >> roberta. thank you. 853. fresh off a major change in the white house, many families, even friend groups, may find themselves torn apart by a political shift. next on the nine, we'll talk live about how to mend uncomfortable rifts and when to know it's time to let go. >> it's a much anticipated event

that has people lining up around the block. we'll give you a look at this year's white elephant sale in oakland. - man, i need some serious help with this health insurance stuff. - check out covered california. it's a free service from the state that helps you get health insurance. millions of people have used it. - wait, for real? - mmm hmm, they even offer financial help to lower the cost. - nooo... how you know about all this? - that's how i got my insurance. i got a great plan for about $10 dollars a month. - okay, i see you. - if you've got questions, covered california can help, every step of the way. enroll by january 31st. covered california. this way to health insurance.
