morning. there are reports that ukrainian forces may have launched an attack across the border inside of russia. now. these are first pictures released by the russian government showing explosions at an oil depot in russia about 20 miles from the border with ukraine and the russian regional governor claims the fire was started by an airstrike from ukrainian helicopters that has not been confirmed yet, and the ukrainian government has made no comment on this at this point. now it comes as british intelligence as russian soldiers are sabotaging vladimir putin's war efforts in ukraine. british security agencies say some russian troops are disobeying military orders, destroying their own weapons and equipment and even shot down one of their aircraft. despite all of that russian forces continue airstrikes across ukraine just days after they pledged to pull back their troops. russia has repeatedly lied about its

intentions. so we can only judge russia on its actions, not on its words. ukrainian authorities say russian troops have left the chernobyl nuclear power plant and gave back control of that plant. there are reports of russians may have been exposed to high levels of radiation. ukrainian forces have taken back in town from russian forces in the northeastern part of the country. after weeks of fighting the town of trust your nest was met mostly damaged, many destroyed buildings, including the hospital and train station. ukrainian response teams are now clearing mines and rubble. evacuations in the heavily damaged ukrainian city of mariupol are planned today after a temporary ceasefire was agreed to by russian and ukrainian leaders. some 100,000 people are still in mariupol cut off from food and water, unable to leave as constant russian attacks hit their city. put it. we didn't even expect to be attacked. no

one was expecting it. it was such #### i can't express it. the red cross is preparing to send in a convoy of 45 busses to evacuate people who are trapped there, tom now 74 happening today. a major public transit project in san francisco is finally completed and is open the badness bus. rapid transit lines have been in the works for years now. ktvu james torres is in san francisco to tell us how things are going out there and how commuters are going to be effective. good morning, james. thank you, marty. david we're still a couple hours away before those first busses actually start operating. but you see behind me some set up here for a little bit of a mini ceremony that will happen to kind of commemorate this milestone for the city. all of that. getting set up and happening right along, then that's avenue here. there's a two mile stretch of road where you'll notice some of these red lanes. that's where these busses will be traveling on, and it took us a little

while to get here more than six years on the $300 million later , those red lanes will be without any construction and finally open and free for bus traffic. san francisco transportation leaders say those red lanes will be for all immunity and golden gate transit busses before those busses were on the road with the rest of traffic. and now, as a result of these changes, they expect rides on meetings to be at least 15 minutes faster and traffic on the road to be smoother, since busses won't be adding to the congestion the project started in 2016 and sfm to says they didn't expect it to take as long as it did. they found shallow power power lines that they didn't know who who they belong to. they found native american artifacts, and all kinds of things were down there that they had to deal with that really lengthen this process. according to the transit system, upgrading technology underground now means the city is better prepared for the next major earthquake. that's because crews were able to replace them infrastructure that was more than 100 years old. the city says other major

improvements in the area include better lighting, sidewalk extensions and new countdown signals for people crossing venice. the city, including mayor lenin breed will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony this morning in front of the city's veterans building memorial. the first bus to run along the red lanes will start running at about 10 o'clock this morning. we're live this morning in san francisco. i'm james torres ktvu . box two news, james. thank you know this morning, the chp's asking for help in finding a missing teenage girl and her stepfather. authorities say the stepfather likely took her nine months ago. 14 year old qatar, a with it was last seen in july. investigators say they think she was abducted by her 39 year old stepfather, santa's flores. roman alerts have been issued into hama shasta insists q counties. the man has family in santa rosa. they were last seen in the 1993 silver. toyota corolla, california license plate three f k r. 698 please call 911 if you know where they are no word yet as to why authorities are issuing these

missing alerts now. our time is 76, a convicted sex offender is now in the santa rita jail, charged with inappropriate contact with a minor 49 year old ruben ramos is due in court on monday. police in fremont, say ramos last february followed the 14 year old girl who was walking home from school and they accused him of posting a note on a tree, inviting her to call him. well neighbor gave that note to the authorities. police say an undercover officers sent him a text message and began sending explicit photos. class will be back in session soon this morning at your balbuena high school in san jose, after one student shot another near campus. police say the victim was shot at least twice yesterday morning taken to a nearby hospital with non life threatening injuries. some parents and students say the surrounding your boy, the neighborhood has seen some violence. but never so close to its namesake high school. sometimes they're spice. but you know, that's like i feel like every school has fights, you know, just cause problems there

for about two years and two years we've seen about six shootings. in about three deaths. police say that a male juvenile is in custody. they also recovered a gun. your time is 78 president biden ordered the release of one million barrels of oil every day for six months from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve. the president says this is all named at reducing the skyrocketing price of gasoline. he also wants us oil producers to increase their production and to act on already approved but not used drilling leases. and i'm calling for use it or lose it policy. now some u. s. oil companies have said they will be able to produce a million extra barrels a day. by this fall. could oil prices fell just a bit following president biden's announcement when u. c. berkeley energy economist says we could soon see gas prices come down more significantly at the pump. i think we are going to see prices come down pretty soon because we

had a big spike not just in crude oil prices, but in that margin between the crude oil price and the price of gasoline, the refinery margins and those seem to be coming down already at the wholesale level. when that happens, it's usually a week or two before they really come through to the retail level. professor borenstein says he expects in the next couple of weeks. gas prices will drop 20 or 30 cents a gallon berries finally beginning to see a very slight drop in gas prices. tripoli reports this morning in san francisco. a gallon of unleaded regular gas is averaging $5.92. oakland it's a it's a $5.84 and as a is 5 83 on average, all these prices down a penny from yesterday's average and about four cents lower than what we were paying a month ago. time is 79 will. gas rises are still so high here in california . some people in southern california are leaving the country to fill up their car going to mexico to buy gas prices at some gas stations, antifa wanna or as much as $2 a

gallon cheaper. part of the reason for that is the mexican government approved fuel subsidies to help drivers their deal with the war in ukraine, but people from california are benefiting from it, though they do have to pay the price with their time. like right now. it's okay to cross the border. it's only about hour and a half. even with an hour and a half way to the border. it's worth it to come here and fill with. yes yes, i'm retired, so i need to save my money. and some people who often crossed the border into mexico have been timing their gas fill up when there are already in mexico. and as for the quality of that gasoline, it turns out. a lot of the gas near the border is actually imported from the us. all right. let's see what's happening. for those of us who are behind the wheel. they rely on mass transit sell. you talked about a delay on bart. is that where you want to start? yeah you know, i do want to talk about bart because bart did have an alert out for trains on the daily city line. and on

the there was some delays. now, one of the things that we mentioned is that the trains are getting back and you may not even notice it. this is a look at interstate 80 westbound and eastbound. now i do want to mention that eastbound 80 right before university. there's a medical emergency and they had the right lane blocked for the last half hour or so. 80 eastbound is taking a look at. i'm sorry. 80 westbound is taking a look at it. it's eastbound, but you can see that's where it is. but people coming this way or taking a look, so give yourself extra time. i'll put it on the map here for you. it's backed up out of the l. c. bronte area all the way to berkeley. concord, walnut creek. slow traffic it again for people who are taking part in this area part is recovering from an earlier problem. major delay on the berryessa line in the daily city direction due to a train removed from service. foreign equipment problem. 7 11 . let's go back to the desk. okay sal drought conditions here

mountains, which forecasters say the dry winter means drought conditions this year will only get worse. of course, a lot of people think about, you know, running up to the snow for fun, skiing and snowboarding, but steve paulson that's money in the bank when it comes to our water supply, and it's just not there well last year disappeared almost overnight, and this year it's already going fast. and next week is going to be warm. i mean, maybe even you know. possible record warm so it doesn't. i mean, there's just not much maybe middle of the month, though. maybe middle of the month. there's some signs that maybe we'll get some little bit of activity around the 10th of the 15th. but by the time you get to april, you're really you're pretty much do the lack thereof. i should say us. m what? we're probably gonna bad fire season december was fantastic for rain and snow. and then once january about january, 6th or seventh rolled in the tap just turned off san francisco's total rainfall for january, february march 1.13 ancient 13 100 that is the lowest in 173 years of record keeping. and the

reports this morning that ukrainian helicopter gunships have crossed the border. bringing the war to russia, the first pictures released by the russian government show explosions at an oil depot in russia about 20 miles from the border with ukraine. if this was , in fact an attack by ukrainian forces, it may show a bold new front in the war, a russian convoy near kiev was also destroyed as ukrainian forces are increasingly on the move. russian forces near the chernobyl nuclear site, meantime , have moved out and missed unverified reports that they may have suffered from radiation poisoning. there will be another round of peace talks today. but there is not much optimism and ukraine supply lines could be struggling. the pentagon dismissed reports that military aid shipments to ukraine are being delayed. i've never seen the department of defense be able to move with this sense of alacrity and speed, as i have in just the last few weeks could come down. the better part of you know anything from 10 cents

to 35 cents a gallon. president biden spoke of the economic costs of the war here at home. blaming russian president vladimir putin for soaring gas prices and announcing the release of oil from the nation's strategic reserve. but the impact on gas prices could be minimal and there are risks. so when you start burning your strategic reserves in hopes that you you're gonna come out the other side at low price environment that's a big bet a big bet, as we contend with soaring inflation. and we expect to hear from the president today a new jobs numbers. in washington, doug lucid er fox news. all right, doug. thank you. time is 7 35. well this weekend, a concert in the wine country will benefit ukrainian refugees. the event is called napa valley to ukraine benefit concert. it will be at the napa valley expo sunday afternoon at two pm there'll be food, wine and beer. profits will go to nova, ukraine and to the world central kitchen of food relief agencies. the musical performers

rent relief program by midnight last night, and those who are still waiting for an answer. thousands continue to wait for relief whether applications are pending. it would be cruel, wasteful and unfair to subject californians to eviction the loss of rental income now when they've done everything, asked of them by filing and completing their application. and tenants rights groups who want the state to extend the deadline for struggling renters to apply for assistance. and with that bill signing, lieutenant governor lenny quinella has made history. she's the first woman to ever signed a bill into law and the entirety of california's 171 year history. governor newsom is out of the country now on vacation. that means the lieutenant governor is in charge until he returns. she spoke with our sister station in los angeles about this history making moment. well, i can't help it feeling the weight of history. certainly generations of women all the way back to native american women pioneers and the many women who have served in the legislature. people have been involved in

case hasn't been. we've had a crash on the bay bridge they were clearing. we've had problems on 80. let's start with the bay bridge toll plans. i want to show you the traffic here. is getting a little better. they cleared the crash on the bridge and the traffic is going to be a part of me. okay to see the traffic is moving along. all right. in the east bay commute no major issues. 8 80 south, dont hayward and union city a little bit slow northbound at 80 as well. but things seem to be settling down a little bit, which is good. 802 let's get back to the headlines. all right, sal. thank you knew this morning. there are reports that ukrainian forces may have launched a cross border helicopter attack at an oil depot on russian soil. these first pictures here, released by the russian government show explosions at the oil depot located about 20 miles from the border with ukraine, and a russian regional governor says two people were injured in that nearby businesses were also hit. it was not immediately possible to verify the russian accusation

. the ukrainian foreign minister said he could neither confirm nor reject the claim that ukraine was involved. this comes as british intelligence as russian soldiers are sabotaging vladimir putin's war efforts in ukraine. british security agencies say some russian troops are disobeying military orders, destroying their own weapons and equipment and even accidentally shooting down one of their own aircraft. meantime russian forces have kept up airstrikes across ukraine just days after pledging to pull back their troops. russia has repeatedly lied about its intentions. so we can only judge russia on its actions, not on its words. ukrainian authorities say russian troops have left the chernobyl nuclear site and gave back control of that nuclear plant. there are reports the russians may have been exposed to high levels of radiation. ukrainian forces have taken back in town from russian forces in the northeastern part of the country after weeks of fighting , the town of trustee and nets

has been heavily damaged buildings are destroyed, including the hospital and train station. the ukrainian response teams are now clearing mines and rubble. evacuations in the heavily damaged ukrainian city of mariupol or planned today after a temporary ceasefire was agreed to by russian and ukrainian officials. some 100,000 people are still in mariupol. they're cut off from food and water, and they're unable to leave as constant russian attacks hit the city. to put it. we didn't even expect to be attacked. no one was expecting it. it was such #### i can't express it. the red cross is preparing to send in a convoy of 45 busses to evacuate the people who are trapped happening today, the rapid transit lanes along van ness avenue in san francisco are ready for use the goal to increase transit times for immunity, as well as golden gate transit. ktvu james store is live this morning in san francisco and james, this was a long time coming no doubt about that, mike. good morning to you

. we're about two hours away from seeing that first bus take off and taking advantage of what the project was finally completed. but before that, in about an hour, you see the stage set right now, with all the cheers we're going to hear frome other city transportation leaders about what this project means and how excited they are to finally get it all started and it's all going to be focused on the red lanes of the road right along van ness avenue. busses driving in the red lanes means they won't be on the roads with the other cars. and with that, transportation experts say, bus rides. will be moving along a lot quicker by about 15 minutes, according to the city's transportation agency. the project cost about $300 million and took six years to complete and over that time. the road was full of construction equipment, cones and workers. if you were driving on here, at some point, it was stop and go and some of the peak traffic times and some people would tell us that it would take away from their businesses nearby, while others say it just plainly. they didn't like the way they make the city look. they could drive their

cars parked on the street and come in. just pay a meter. that's all gone. most of it. i mean, you have one spot available now. so yeah, it's really impacted. parking i mean , it was kind of a nightmare. it was an eyesore to look at. this is way better. city leaders say working on this project opened the opportunity to upgrade the city's underground technology. some sewer pipes replaced for me than 100 years. the city bettern francisco for its next major earthqua hold a ribbon cutting ceremony and a little less than an hour the first bus to run along the red lanes will begin running at 10 o'clock. we're live this morning in san francisco. i'm james torres. ktvu fox two news, james . thank you knew this morning, the chp's asking for help to find a missing teenage girl and her stepfather. authorities say the stepfather likely took the team nine months ago. 14 year

old catanha wisdom was last seen in july. investigators say they think she was abducted by her 39 year old stepfather, santos flora's roman authorites have been issued into hama, shasta siskiyou counties. the man's family is in santa rosa. they were last seen in the 1993 silver. toyota corolla, california license plate three f . k r 698 called 911 if you know where they are no word, though, on why authorities are issuing the missing alerts now. convicted sex offender is in santa rita jail this morning on charges of inappropriate contact with the miner. 49 year old ruben ramos is scheduled to appear in court on monday. fremont police say he followed a 14 year old girl walking home from school last february. they accused him of posting a note on a nearby tree. inviting her over that note to authorities, policd hi will be back in session soon this morning in your boy in a high

school in san jose, after one student shot another near campus. police say the victim was shot at least once yesterday morning taken to a nearby hospital with non life threatening injuries. some parents and students say the surrounding your boy in a neighborhood has seen violence but never so close to its namesake high school. sometimes there's spikes. but you know, that's like i feel like every school has fights, you know, just cause problems there for about two years and two years, we've seen about six shootings in about three deaths. police say a male juvenile is in custody and that they also recovered a gun. president biden ordered the release of one million barrels of oil every day for six months from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve. the president says the release is aimed at reducing those soaring gas prices. he's also calling for us oil producers to ramp up production and to act on already approved but unused drilling leases. and i'm calling for use it or lose it policy. some u. s. oil companies have said they will be able to produce a

million additional barrels a day by fall. crude oil prices fell following that announcement by president biden. when u. c berkeley energy economist said. we could soon see gas prices come down more significantly at the palm i think we are going to see prices come down pretty soon because we had a big spike not just in crude oil prices, but in that margin between the crude oil price and the price of gasoline, the refinery margins and those seem to be coming down already at the wholesale level. when that happens, it's usually a week or two before they really come through to the retail level. professor bernstein says he expects over the next couple of weeks. gas prices should drop by about 20 or 30 cents a gallon. barry is finally beginning to see just the tiniest drop in gas prices. tripoli reports this morning in san francisco. a gallon of regular gas is averaging. $5.92 oakland's averages. 5 84 san jose's 5 83 all these prices down a penny from yesterday's average just a couple of cents lower than where we were a week

ago, and gas prices are still so high in california that some people in southern california actually headed to mexico to fill up those tanks. prices at some gas stations in tijuana are as much as $2 less a gallon. part of the reason for that is the mexican government has approved fuel subsidies to help drivers in mexico deal with the war in ukraine. by people from california are earning the benefit, though they do have to pay the price with their time. like right now. it's okay to cross the border. it's only about hour and a half. even with an hour and a half way to the border. it's worth it to come here and fill with gas. yes i'm retired, so i need to save my money. some people who frequently crossed the border have been timing their phillips with when they're already in mexico. as for the quality of the gas, it turns out, a lot of the fuel near the border is actually imported from the united states. people seeing these record high gas prices, driving more and more people to public transit, which has been great, but then today we have a problem. sell well, you don't bart is recovering, which is good. garcia and mike so i don't

think you should be afraid to take part. today the traffic also is getting better as we get into this eight o'clock hour, but we still have some remnants of some earlier issues. let's go to the east bay. that's where all the traffic was six eighties , getting better highway four has improved and 80 is finally a little bit better as you drive here from richmond into berkeley can see that is still a little bit slow, but i like what i see here. things are getting better. when you get to the bay bridge. they did clear an accident at the treasure island area. and it's gone. and that's good because traffic is much, much better. so getting into san francisco will be good. so if you've waited until this hour to go, you've made the right call you if you wait a little longer. some of that mid day traffic may be completely cleared up. it's 8 11. let's go back to the desk. all right, sal. thank you. area drought conditions are considered considered severe. now this comes ahead of a final sierra snow survey later today after the break details that point to even worse drought conditions. also ever since the pandemic it we've seen a skyrocketing number of people

conditions this year will continue to get even worse. let's take a look at the latest that from the u. s drought monitor. it shows most of the bay area, along with the big portion of the state is now under severe drought conditions. many counties in the northern part in the central valley or in extreme drought. most of the western half of the united states is under drought conditions. not good, steve. i mean, after the big december we had i thought, okay, here we're going. but then january from my goodness, this is just and what? well, it's a driest ever ever parts of the sierra, also for us, san francisco and this is three years in a row now of below normal rain. what are you gonna do with that puts so much pressure on next year already, and we're seven months away some fog. most of it's about san francisco south, you can see half moon base down to three miles. visibility so maybe highway one, and it pulls off a little bit pulls back in around santa cruz capitola. down to monterey, but overall, that's really all we can find and sends to hang on the san mateo coast. the longest system is going up and over so some fog, but a lot of sun hazy skies a little breeze. they're picking up later
