the warmer air coming up from the lower levels that can really cause a lot of issues, and that's what we're dealing with. we're also dealing with freeze warnings and frost advisories and it's just it's a cold one out there lots of thirties. sandwiched in between that deep, low system. it's a cold pattern this week, except for higher clouds coming in. it looks really quiet. it almost looks scary, quiet, but you know again , we go from one extreme to another. and this one is a dry one. at least for now. some higher clouds might break through, but other than that might break on through to the other side. but cold morning i'll throw in patchy fog. some of that developed yesterday. mostly sunny, nice but cool. cool cool mount diablo, probably sitting at 30 degrees or so i would think so. 36 come up, let's come up a little bit. still a little slight northeasterly breezes in place. truck is 14 thirties here. sacramento monterey, fresno, santa barbara las vegas 35. phoenix 39. talked to a friend of mine. a lot of locals are saying the coldest it's been in years down there. for some in arizona and look at flagstaff at

to end stops for nine different minor infractions, including a broken tail, light or expired registration. it would also limit what officers can do once a stop is made the group stop crime. sf is against the proposal, saying sometimes traffic stops end up exposing criminal activity. just last year, a guy was stopped, uh, the person mike on the windows because the guy was sleeping in the car and they found the gun. he was a murder suspect. um so this is actually increased crime , it's likely to increase traffic accidents and make us like, let's say. supporters of the policy change say that these miners stops often target people of color, according to an analysis by the chronicle in san francisco. black drivers are 10 times more likely to be stopped than white drivers for these minor infractions. elon musk is not commenting about a report that he is taking drastic steps

dividing line between that cold air and also the warmer that you can see where the boundary is. i mean, 15 and denver yet houston's 59. so when you get that kind of dynamic and place, it can generate a lot of snow and a lot of severe weather. it's exactly what happened. yesterday the couple of forecasts are really struggling with a plunge of cold air. one of them brought it over us even around. i think it'll be east of us. it'll be next week, so we'll see how they sort out the details. but they are all over the place with that cold air and also how it impacts us. freeze warning is out. no doubt about that, or frost advisory out. except for higher clouds. these weak systems. it's a cold pattern, and i don't see that changing anytime soon. at least we're not, you know. getting hot or anything here, then that would be the double whammy. but it is cold and it's going to be dry, at least for awhile into the weekend. that's for sure. so cold morning, thirties twenties for some, maybe some patchy fog. we had some yesterday. mostly sunny, nice but cool. i'm you know there might be a few high clouds, but it's no big deal. 14

in truckee lot of thirties here until you hit southern california. but even phoenix at 39 las vegas, 35. that's cold thirties here on the temps, including berkeley, oakland. i mean sfo's in there, except for the city. everyone's in the thirties. all the way down to carmel at 37 toss in there. watson ville socal santa cruz. so it's a cold pattern, even on the coast. for many lots of sun today, temperatures will be still below average here. a few of these higher clouds were kind of pay a visit tomorrow. no biggie, though, and the extended outlook unless against something happens on the 20th or 21st. the rest of the month looks dry. fifties on the temps low, they'll try and bump up a little bit, but really, not until the weekend. they still looked at me slightly below average, pam all right. thank you, steve, outgoing san jose mayor sam liccardo says he wants to change how police officers are investigated for misconduct coming up why the police union is now pushing back and volunteers are making sure children and teens have something to unwrap this holiday

provide advanced weapons to help his country and its war, with russia. providing patriot surface to air missiles will help ukraine repel russian aerial attacks. approval of the plan could be announced as early as tomorrow. the us senate committee has determined the u. s bureau of prisons quote fails to hold employees accountable for sexual abuse of female inmates. the bipartisan senate panel released a 68 page report after an eight month investigation revealed that the bureau of prisons employees sexually abused women inmates at a majority of the 27 federal prisons where women were held. over the last 10 years. abuse at

dublin with some of the most notorious and horrific in the country. you had a warden and a chaplain, both of whom were sexually abusing inmates. but it was by no means unique or an isolated case. we found, for example, at fcc coleman in florida. multiple correctional officers abusing multiple women in their custody over long periods of time, none of whom faced criminal prosecution and some of whom retired with benefits. this is a systemic issue. now just last week, former fcc dublin warden ray garcia was convicted of eight felony charges involving sexual abuse of three women. he is awaiting sentencing. jose mayor sam liccardo is leaving office at the end of this year. but he is pushing for a big change in how police officers are investigated when they have misconduct charges against them. right now. the police department's internal affairs unit investigates public complaints and independent police auditor can then review the internal affairs unit cases

. the mayor now wants to allow the independent auditor to also initiate its own investigations into claims that are not related to criminal allegations. what's being proposed? here is a hybrid model. we'd be starting with a small investigations unit and allowing the council to evaluate how it does. the police officers association says it would be a violation of existing laws. the city council sent the proposal back to a committee that will take up the idea in april. that will be months after mayor elect matt mehan and newly elected city council members have been sworn into office. san francisco police will add two new members to the department today. they are not your typical recruits, though the department will swear in two horses, gusts and duke. there they are to the mounted unit. the ceremony will take place at police stables and golden gate park, adding horses to the mounted unit is a lengthy and difficult process. the department says the horses are well trained there in top physical condition. 99% of the

candidates are rejected. stoneridge shopping center in pleasanton, is in line for a makeover. pleasant in city council and planning commission will meet tomorrow night to discuss development options for the mall. the mall is under new ownership and is facing financial challenges with the closing of anchor stores, sears and nordstrom. ideas that have already been proposed, including grocery store, outdoor gathering spaces and a hotel. the public is invited to offer suggestions. edie weighed in calling for a grocery store, outdoor gathering spaces and a new hotel. the recent storms have dumped a lot of rain in the bay area and snow in the sierra local water agencies. tell ktvu tom baker. we still have a long way to go before we put a dent in our drought. lake shasta and oroville by far california's biggest reservoirs depend almost exclusively on melting snowpack , though both are woefully low. last week's storms help oroville go up. 8% shasta, just one last

couple of years, the storms have have primarily, i guess mostly missed the shasta watershed. california's five big mega reservoirs average only 27% full. that's actually down 6% from just five weeks ago because not all water goes to human activities, reservoirs they need to release water for the fish in for, you know, for outflow for water quality in the delta luis reservoir, which receives little rain or snow gets water pumped uphill. from the california aqueduct reservoir is an off stream reservoirs and that means that it doesn't have a significant amount of natural inflow. reservoirs need many atmospheric rivers and thick heavy blankets of snow to help build smaller local reservoirs. example the storms gave a big boost to the south bay's valley

water supply. so a week ago before all the storms came through, and we were at 14.7. i just looked at valley waters, 10 reservoirs and we're now at 19.4% so about a 5% boost. that means valley water is still 80 women. percent empty. for way, way, way, way, way below normal for what we should be seeing this time of the year, state climatologist dr mike anderson says the mega reservoirs or where they are, because that's where the most rain has fallen. historically largest systems. well when you deplete them like this, it takes from much more than average to kind of get their recovery because you have to have water that you're not using this year going towards recovering that spent storage climatologist says. that's hard. well we've had three increasingly record setting droughts in the last 15 years. it's going to take more than this to get us out of the hole. we've dug ourselves. remember last december, started out gangbusters, too, but then dried

out for weeks on end tom baker, ktvu fox two news. thank you, tom. yes, steve. you have been saying the same thing and months on annual january february march was just unbelievably quiet right to see that repeat itself. hopefully not. hopefully not. surely to tell, i guess whether or not too early too early. i mean, there's been some some talk, you know, and people that i respected maybe january does look a little systems coming underneath more of an active weather pattern. but will you know there's nothing that says that yet. before we get there, though. i mean, it looks really quiet unless something develops on the 20th or 21st. to forecast models do have rain on us the other one. of course, the gfs is the outlier. nothing new there. freeze warning is out. frost advisory. it's cold enough high clouds will be the only fly in the ointment. it's a cold pattern here. that's not changing any time soon. could get really brutally cold if a couple of forecast projections pan out, but i think it's going

to stay east of us. it's just doesn't this is not a pattern that looks really promising for us for anything except dry weather. the mornings are cold fifties on the temps here for the highs low to mid up in the hills, though it stays in the upper forties could be some patchy fog. mostly son. it'll be sunny but nice but cold little bit of an east breeze or northeast breeze. it's not strong, but it's off shore, even though the days are very short thirties for almost everyone to hit southern california, even phoenix and las vegas, and they've been very cold down in arizona. very very cold 21 in reno, 14 in truckee, 32. on a creek. i mean, there's 32 santa rosa 30 to palo alto 28, boulder creek. 32 santa clara camels in there. santa cruz aktas at 37 hollister's down to 32 san martin 33, except for some higher clouds. that's really the only thing we're going to see out of this pattern. maybe next week, but i don't trust anything. the only thing i trust is dry weather at this point. nothing is showing up yet fifties on the temps, that's it

and all the days are nice. they just don't last very long. will have higher class. otherwise the mornings will be called the days will be studied mostly sunny, maybe a little bump up in the tents by the weekend. thank you, steve, the oakland calling for a recount in the city's mayoral race still ahead, the concerns being raised about the election and oakland's ranked choice voting system plus an engineering marvel beyond belief. we are learning more about the important scientific breakthrough that brings us closer to clean energy. we're going to hear from the lead scientist about his initial reaction to that discovery.

where can you save time shopping... and spend quality time, at the same time? lowe's, actually. this holiday season experience the magic of winterfest. this milestone moves us one

significant step closer. to the possibility of zero carbon abundant fusion energy. powering our society. it was a major breakthrough announced at the lawrence livermore national laboratory that is working towards the future of renewable energy. it's a discovery years in the making, and it happened right here in the bay area. ktvu brooks jarocz spoke with the lead livermore scientists, who at first couldn't believe what the team had achieved. it took nearly 60 years to reach a scientific milestone. that's also an engineering marvel beyond belief, replicating the energy of a star nuclear fusion ignition could prove to be a new clean energy source. it took a while to sink in that we'd finally gotten over the turtle scientist alex soul stra led the experiment. 192 lasers shot into a cylinder the size of a pencil eraser, squeezing hydrogen

atoms, then combining and igniting the result, more energy than the lasers put in a task that required planning and precision. these are really extreme conditions, actually, the temperatures, densities and pressures that we achieve our higher than at the center of the sun. and so one of the main scientific objectives is to be able to understand how matter behaves at those conditions. one step closer to harnessing and creating, never ending clean energy, no nuclear waste of potential replacement for fossil fuels and an alternative to solar and wind that rely on storage. this is the ideal complement to clean, renewable energy, energy storage. it allows you to think about fusion as a base load partner, not a competitor, but a real partner with clean energy going forward as we need to meet these mid century targets of zero emissions sustainability,

experts say this breakthrough could lead to a long term climate change solution, but there's still a long list of engineering hurdles, scaling and manufacturing fusion power technology could take 10. in years or more. now we need to simplify. the strip away the engineering to find out what do we need at minimum to make this work, and that's what's going to excite graduate students going to start excites silicon valley startup companies. it's going to get the really competitive, innovative juices flowing, pushing toward a clean energy future. u. s. department of energy officials say this advancement redefines the boundaries of what's possible. i have a special message to listeners who want to work on exciting, challenging and important problems. we're hirind clean energy. it also opens the door to futuristic transportation. just imagine traveling within our own solar system by harnessing that power one day, scientists say it could

be possible. brooks jarocz ktvu , fox two news. very exciting. thank you. brooks happening today glide memorial church in san francisco is preparing for its 42nd annual toy wonderland. glide staff and volunteers are sorting through and packing up 500 bags of new handpicked toys and bikes for children of all ages this year, they have 300 more bags than last year, glide says. there's been a rising need for toys this year due to the pandemic, inflation and the current economy. this is a tough time for a lot of people, and we just want to make sure that they have the best holidays that we can provide and help them with the volunteers will finish packing the bags today and begin delivering them tomorrow. the san francisco fire department received a big donation for its annual holiday toy drive. firefighters picked up hundreds of toys at st francis memorial hospital for the firefighters oy program. the toys collected were donated through a partnership with dignity, health and fire

fighters union local 7 98. we happily we'll take these toys back to the union hall. for distribution. and we really, really appreciate your kindness . and as my boss always says, it's a blessing to be a blessing. now the program is still accepting donations of money and new unwrapped toys will be distributed to families in need in time for the holidays. they didn't help opened at all. they helped hollywood and hollywood ran roughshod all over oakland, oakland allowed it. hollywood movie project meant to spotlight the city of oakland is leaving oakland business owners with a bad taste in their mouths. the reasons they say this movie is doing more harm than good, and new government figures on inflation show it is easing up a bit. we'll tell you the other economic markers that are being closely watched as the fed gets ready for today's announcement about interest rates. from ktvu

. fox two news. this is mornings on two. good morning to you and thank you for joining us. welcome the mornings onto i'm dave clark. good morning. i'm pam cook wednesday morning, december 14th jean was concerned about you whenever viewers she tweeted and she said, we're sal castaneda. you're staying late because we have world cup coverage today, so to cover all bases and steve. they're going to be out there by the salesforce transit center again. i imagine it's going to be cold again. it will be cold. dave. pam took your parking spot. i know she did. okay pants. first in forgets. that's exactly right . that's all right. it is cold out there. nothing new. that's not changing any time soon. 31 in santa rosa 32 the napa airport could be a little bit of fog popping up, but i doubt it. 35 conquered a lot of 37. so again, it's a cold one. you can look at your phone and say, yep, it's cold out there. it will be dry. it'll be nice. it's just

not going to be very warm here so cold and sunny but temperatures in the thirties to start and then we really mainly low fifties on a lot of these. i kind of just threw in the towel when 54 for all because there won't be a big spread. alright, it's five o'clock. take a look at traffic now. steve thank you . yes. and we will look at the south bay because we've had a couple of things bong water. one near helier. there was a crash involving a truck that flipped over. traffic is going to be slow approaching the area. pardon me. it's kind of early for this. but once you get past it looks okay. that's a back up there. if you are driving on north bend six city there's a construction project that begins right at highway 84 traffic seems to be getting by on the lines that are open. and westbound 5 80 does have some slowing right now. coming in off the altamont pass its light by the way at the bay bridge, toll plaza, five oh, one. let's go back to the headlines. thank you knew this morning just hours ago , another fatal crash in san jose, it was the 62nd fatal

traffic collision of the year 25 year high for deadly crashes in san jose. ktvu demagogues is there at the scene? you have the latest from san jose police. good morning, emma. good morning, dave. police do have traffic blocked off between capitol expressway heading towards monterey highway and we can even see in the distance the actual site of where this car crashed. it collided with a tree , according to san jose police. this was just around two o'clock this morning, not far from the capital. caltrain station, and this comes just a day after a woman driving near the san jose d. m v office on alma avenue, was killed after a truck collided with her sedan. san jose is at a 25 year high for traffic deaths this year in total 64 people have died this year in 62. separate traffic collisions in san jose, which means there were some collisions

that killed multiple people. the previous record was 60 traffic deaths a quarter century ago in 1997, san jose, has also seen a record 31 pedestrians killed by vehicles this year just a week ago, 47 year old maria marcello was struck at perry, mont avenue. right by the plant shopping center while leading a procession to honor a oaxacan christmastime tradition. now back here over on capitol expressway, we're working to confirm the identity of the person who crashed earlier this morning and we'll bring you the latest updates as we get them from san jose police reporting live in san jose, and i gots ktvu, fox two news. all right. thank you, emma. we are waiting for important announcements today from the federal reserve about the nation's economy. first the fed is expected to raise interest rates by half a percentage point. that is less, though, than the boards three quarters percentage point increases in four straight meetings. chairman jerome powell is expected to speak at 11 30

this morning, and economists predict he will signal more rate hikes next year than previously forecast. to rein in the worst inflation in about 40 years. the only way they're going to be getting prices down further is by depressing the economy. economists are curious to hear what the fed will say about the unemployment rate. it's currently at 3.7% but will go far higher if a recession hits next year. the white house and wall street are optimistic after the latest financial data yesterday morning showed inflation cooled much more than expected last month. numbers are unambiguously positive. let's face it. they are good numbers, and we probably in all likelihood have seen peak inflation. do what your bank economist who was a former research analyst at the fed predicts policymakers will slow down their hikes next year to just a quarter point at their next meeting in february time now five oh 4 $100 million.

that's how much the biden administration says will be invested to expand the young african leaders initiative. vice president kamala harris made the announcement at the start of the three day african summit that's hosted by president biden. us officials met with the leaders of 49 african country. aries to improve relations between the u. s and africa. last week, president biden said the u. s will support adding the african union as a permanent member of the g 20, which helps set global policies. it's been eight years now since africa was the focus of a u. s summit meeting today. the state's committee on reparations for black californians opens a two day meeting in oakland. the group is discussing how to compensate people who are descended from slaves. it's also setting the groundwork to ensure no group of people is considered to own. another group. california is the first state to discuss the ongoing negative effects of slavery on african americans living here now, time is 505, a

movie that's being filmed now in oakland features well known stars, famous directors and beloved rap star. the movies. goal is to spotlight oakland and raised the city's profile nationwide. but many oakland business leaders affected by the filming are not happy. and they told ktvu is henry lee about their frustration. they didn't help oakland at all. they helped hollywood and hollywood ran roughshod all over oakland, oakland allowed it. glenn kaplan is angry, he says a movie being made in oakland has shut down streets and cost him business with no advance, warning this after merchants are being challenged by covid and smashing grabs, we got no notifications. zero update. no compensation. kaplan owns make questing a bar at 17th and telegraph in the heart of downtown oakland. he says filming has gone beyond posted times they tried to put porta potties. in front of our bar. they try to move our neighbors park lit. that was rotten. busted in front of our bar talking about two sure one do first. well known bay area

rapper too short is executive producing the movie freaky tales inspired by his iconic song, the movie is set in 1987 oakland. they blocked off the area, so there was no parking are regulars who live in the neighborhood were furious because 19 eighties film cars were sitting here. it's a star studded affair that includes the co directors of the captain marvel superhero film, but kaplan is super annoyed love letter of a film to oakland. is going to destroy uptown and reverted back and it's going to be a lose, lose lose situation. supporters say the movie is good for oakland this past weekend, mayor libby shock was on hand as the city renamed part of foothill boulevard after two short all the glitz and glamour, a stark contrast to empty storefronts. downtown cost us $30,000 at a time where we have no capital and cannot afford any lost like that fish sandwiches. tina johnson owns mama teas restaurant downtown. she thought the movie would bring her more business. but she says food for

those working the film was catered. how about patronizing the business? spending some money? since i'm here? i got employees. i got to pay and you don't spend any money with me on this multi million dollar film circling for parking, and now you see these big trucks taking up two or 34 times. the parking space also owns a business downtown. we need to have more coordination with the small businesses, as well as the city of oakland, and also the film crew is well, the city of oakland says they're working with film officials to try to minimize disruptions. now, some residents say they have gotten flyers with a number to call with any concerns or complaints. that number goes straight. voice mail in oakland. henry lee ktvu fox studios. alright thank you, henry, the oakland chapter of the akp says it supports calls for a recount in the oakland mayor's race. the organization claims the cities ranked choice voting system confused many older voters in particular and is blaming the county registrar's office for the

confusion. centaur declared victory with 50.3% of the vote over second place lauren taylor. alameda county does not conduct a recount under any circumstances, but candidates or other groups can pay for one in a statement, the did not say it would fund a recount, but that it would support one. taylor has said he would not lead a recount effort himself. alright pam. time is 509 ready to talk about wednesday's weather. here's steve paulson. you should probably talk about the giants. we were just talking about that a huge contract. i mean, is that the longest ever 13 years, right? a lot of money. they're getting those career carlos correa to ask sal, he said. they need a player that will get people into the stands. i don't know if he's the guy to see the guy. i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. i'm the guy to tell you. it's cold out there. you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. but you do need one to tell you. it's cold out there because it is so this is a pattern that is

just not real promising for us except cold. it looks really ugly to me as far as precipitation goes, but maybe things will change. freeze warning is out, or frost advisory covers the entire area that goes until nine o'clock except for high clouds. it's going to be a quiet pattern. it's cold. the days are nicer just so short. you can see some higher cost trying to come in, but they really don't have a lot to work with, but i think we'll see an increase in those tomorrow. cold morning, maybe a little patchy fog showing up mostly sunny. it'll be sunny. it's nice, but it's on the cool side, a little bit of an east breeze or northeast breeze so not strong, but it is offshore thirties for many, even down to phoenix and las vegas. even then, santa barbara monterey's at 38 uk is 31 thirties here won't creek 32. except for san francisco, sfo now was 39. now they're 40 to everyone else's in the thirties. and we can find twenties middletown, upper lake lakeville bodega bay is 39 point reyes 37 31 sentence elmo sonoma is in their rohnert park sebastopol. it's a cold one.

indeed so that verifies that that frost and freeze warning up just everything is just it's too much high pressure over us something we're very familiar with. in the outlook looks quiet. one forecast model has this dry 100% dry the rest of the month. other two trying to bring something in on the 20th 21st. we'll see fifties on the town's nothing's going to happen except high clouds, cold mornings and mostly sunny days taking us into the weekend, you guys thank you, steve as that cold is settling here in the bay area of big storm system is sweeping across the country with snow to the north and severe weather, such as tornadoes in the south of next we have a look at some of the damage already left behind and nurses it out. debates hospital say they're ready to go on strike, but the third time in a year you ave

13 on mornings onto a nurses at alta bates summit medical center has issued a nine day strike notice that would start christmas eve and run through january, 2nd at its facilities in oakland and berkeley, in a statement, sutter health says the nurses demand for a 40% increase is unreasonable and that their current offer is for a 22.4% pay raise over four years. center is currently making contingency plans to serve patients during a strike. hospital beds in the north bay are filling up with patients and nearing capacity. health officials in marin county tell us the flu. rsv and covid have staffers stretched thin, they say, with waiting rooms filling up. you can expect a long wait if you have to go to the hospital and some pharmacies in more rural parts of the county stores are having trouble restocking supplies of drugs like children's tylenol or tamiflu, which is used to combat the flu. we've run out of it,

and we can't even replace it by purchasing more from the wholesalers because they're also out. we have a couple of very challenging weeks ahead of us that are going to put a stress on our health care system and be worrisome for those in our community that are most at risk. wastewater sampling shows that all three viruses are increasing in may not peak until early january. the county's health department says it is prepared to respond to the county if the county enters a shortage of drugs like tamiflu, the deputy health officer says there are alternative antiviral medications available. if tamiflu runs out. time is now 5 15. new uc berkeley study explains why covid-19 can cause serious damage like respiratory failure. the research finds covid-19 can damage the walls of blood vessels, causing what's called a vascular leak throughout the body, and that can lead to more serious conditions when that happens, plasma and other fluids carried in blood vessels can cause lung

and heart damage. it often occurs in cases of severe covid. and the fda says some covid tests may not be reliable because of mutations of the covid virus. the fda says the newer macron sub variants harder to detect with some of those rapid antigen test. the fda is working with companies to test the impact of the omicron variant and its sub variants on the dependability of those tests. moderna and mark are working on a potential vaccine for skin cancer, and it is showing promising results. the vaccine uses the same mrna technology is modernist covid shots, researchers say patients who took a combination of the vaccine with immunotherapy cancer drug had a reduced risk of melanoma and death. the company's plan to start a phase three study using the two drug combination next year. our time now, 5 16 millions of americans of right now under severe weather alerts as a as massive storms are just sweeping across the country in early morning

tornado damaged several homes, knocked out power and toppled trees throughout oklahoma and texas. i was actually shocked. nothing worse happened to us because of all, like looking outside. i was. i'm just thankful we're okay because i mean, they could have been a lot worse if that same storm is bringing heavy snow to parts of montana, nebraska and colorado. the weather services at times the snow could fall at a rate of 1 to 2 inches an hour. that storm system is expected to get even stronger as it moves east, bringing more snow and freezing rain. okay we would take some of that freezing rain, at least somewhere. you don't want that? yeah, that's the worst freezing rain because of the power line snapped. and yeah, it's better than no rain right. it's freezing. rain is one of the worst weather. thankfully we don't get that because i mean it . snaps trees, power lines, and you believe me, you would not get into work. pamela won't wish

for that. sorry would you like another request? just some rain, please. tropical rain. okay, that's good. and we think that the system that we had on the weekend is now a powerhouse so you can see the low circulating there up in the south dakota and the tornadic activity. see what happens is when these when these strong systems this time of year come out of the rockies, they have a lot of cold air. right well, then what comes up from the gulf? you get that low level jet bring in warm moisture when those two collide. you'll have a definite boundary. and there it is. you can see the cold divided by the warm dallas 56. houston 61 new orleans 73. that's warm, moist air high dewpoints, then you have that that wants to lift the cold air wants to sink and there in lies the problem. we have cold and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. freeze warning is out or frost advisories out. take your pick. i mean, it's anywhere. you look at it. it's called revel thirties we are in i've been doing this a long time. and when it's a good, good pattern, it's

a good pattern. but when it turns dry around here for some reason, it just seems to want to last forever. and i don't like the outlook here for the rest of the month unless something develops on the 20th or 21st. but until we get to that point, it's going to be a quiet pattern. it's a cold one. we do have temperatures that will end up in the fifties. there's still the highs are well below average here. they should be around 58 59. we're not seeing that yet. there is a little bit of an east breeze or northeast breeze 14 in truckee. lot of thirties here, very, very cold arizona. couple of people. i've lived here my whole life. i can't remember this golden december. well, it's cold and it's cold for us here as well. a lot of thirties here wanna creeks 31 dublin's 31 even pittsburgh 37. kensington piedmont thirties panel. martinez elsa bronte hayward union city. i mean, these are cold readings for us, except for a few high clouds, which have little to no chance. we're not going to see much here. if something developed. there's a couple forecast models want to bring something in your 20th 21st one does not. the one that does not is usually the one that wins out when it says dry. it's

living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems... if you have a rash or other allergic reaction symptoms,

stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato. with 5 22. argentina is heading to the finals of the world cup and 35 year old soccer superstar lionel messi opened the scoring with a penalty, helping the lead argentina to a three nil win over croatia. today france and

morocco will meet they will decide the other team in the finals. make sure you join us this morning for a viewing party of that match up at the crossing east cut in san francisco. it's near the salesforce transit center come out and join us. as if you're in the area. we're going to be live there for benign. our coverage begins at 10 a.m. the match begins at 11 a.m. and you'll see it right here. ktvu. and the soccer becomes more popular here in the us, many new players are getting out on the soccer field, especially children. ktvu claudine wang talked with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon from ucsf benioff children's hospital about the injuries he's seeing now and teenagers who play soccer. it is the most popular sport in the world. with an estimated 3.5 billion fans around the globe and as a sport continues to grow here in the us, some unique challenges have come with it. what's the biggest

sport? for injuries. soccer by far why. i think a lot of it is part of it is, you know out here in california, it's readily accessible. you know, everyone's playing soccer from a young age. you just need a ball. i need to go and get a bunch of kids to play with. so i think part of it is just it's easily accessible. but it places a lot of strain on the lower extremities. you're kicking your cutting. you're doing agility, and there's this columnist's business of let's get our kids in the club. let's get our kids training. let's get our kids year round and everyone wants that goal to get to the next level of pandya is an associate professor of orthopedic surgery and the chief of pediatric orthopedics at ucsf benioff children's hospital. he says kids used to play multiple sports. now many play just one and they play it nonstop. i do think, though now the way we've changed, we are seeing more and more injuries in terms of kids playing one sport and as a result of that, we're seeing kids get adult injuries and younger ages. so what we saw in athletes at age 25 30 happened in 14 15 16 year olds, the most

common injuries for soccer players, he says, are knee injuries torn a cls that bring with them a 9 to 12 month recovery. that's what 14 year old walter galindo is facing. he tore his a c l and meniscus tackle. and i twisted my leg and i try to get up and i just couldn't get up. i gave up on me. soccer is in fact, the only sport walter plays because, he says, it's the only sport he likes, and he dreams of playing professionally. i love it so much been playing for five years. every single time i have the chance to go out and play. i do. play won't be playing for a while. but ucsf says recovery times are improving. we've got a zero gravity treadmill, so basically limits how much force is going across the joint when you run, so it's great for getting people doing things without putting that pressure on their body when they're rehabbing, so it's really revolutionized how quickly we get people back to things and when it comes to solutions, doctors say, you have to look beyond treatment to prevention. back up beautiful. catch touchdown. beautiful at ucsf

motion lab doctors analyze form , so how many people run properly and how improperly are people running? actually the vast majority of people are running improperly. but he also says it is critical to change the conversation about nonstop training. look you don't have to find that extra training session for them. actually have them just sit at home and spend time read a book that may be better for their bodies. so i think it's convincing. the parents rest days are not lazy days, not at all rest days may actually be more beneficial than doing another workout sometimes 5 26 advocates in san francisco wanna end traffic stops from minor violations coming up, while critics say that idea could do more harm than good. plus there may be a new plan in the works for a shopping ball in the east bay. we'll show you what could be built on the side of the stoneridge mall in pleasant.

supporters say really, the point of the hubs is to get people suffering from addiction in the doors and then direct them to rehab and other social services. safe consumption is just the beginning of that tier of services. it's the place that people go before they see a way out of their addiction. san francisco supervisors in community activists got together for a rally at city hall to support the idea. the city's department of health earlier this year had already planned to open several wellness hubs in various san francisco neighborhoods. over the next 2.5 years, but that plan was abruptly scrapped by mayor london breed a few months ago. again these are difficult situations because this involves legal advice. significant criminal liability, which we cannot just ignore. safe injection sites are technically illegal under state and federal law, the supervisors who support the opening of the sites say they have enough votes to override the mayor, and they

plan to hold hearings on this topic. and they say they want to produce pursue the idea of opening these wellness hubs anyway. live in the newsroom. ali rasmus ktvu fox two news. thank you. ali today, the san francisco police commission will hold a public hearing on a proposed change in policy that would limit when police can make certain types of traffic stops. the proposal is to end stops for nine different minor infractions , including a broken tail, light or expired registration. it would also limit what officers can do once a stop is made the group stop crime sf is against the proposal, saying sometimes traffic stops end up exposing criminal activity. just last year, a guy was stopped, uh, the person marked on the windows because the guy was sleeping in the car and they found the gun. he was a murder suspect. um so this is actually increased crime , it's likely to increase traffic accidents and make us like, let's say. supporters of

the policy change say these minor stops often target people of color, according to an analysis by the chronicle in san francisco. black drivers are 10 times more likely to be stopped than white drivers for these minor infractions are time now. 5 34 no comment yet from elon musk about a report that he's taking drastic steps to cut costs at twitter. the new york times reports, musk has revamped twitter's legal department, which reportedly is telling employees don't pay vendors. in anticipation of lawsuits. also twitter hasn't paid rent at several twitter offices, including the headquarters in san francisco. new york times says twitter is debating not paying severance to thousands of people who laid off since the line must took over the company. twitter is also refusing to pay $200,000 bill for charter flights that were takenf the tae founder of the failed cryptocurrency exchange, ft x will remain behind bars in the bahamas for at least two more

that the bureau of prisons employees sexually abused female inmates at the majority of the 27 federal prisons where women are held. over the past 10 years. abuse at dublin with some of the most notorious and horrific in the country. you had a warden and a chaplain, both of whom were sexually abusing inmates. but it was by no means unique or an isolated case. we found, for example, at fcc coleman in florida multiple correctional officers abusing multiple women in their custody over long periods of time, none of whom faced criminal prosecution and some of whom retired with benefits. this is a systemic issue. just last week, the former warden at the prison in dublin, ray garcia, was convicted of felony counts involving sexual abuse of three women. and he's waiting now to be settled, talked about san jose mayor sam liccardo is leaving office at the end of this year, but he is pushing for a big change in how police officers are investigated when

they have misconduct charges against them right now the police department's internal affairs unit investigates public complaints and independent police auditor can then review the internal affairs unit cases . the mayor now wants to allow the independent auditor to also initiate its own investigations into claims that are not related to criminal allegations. what's being proposed? here is a hybrid model. we'd be starting with a small investigations unit and allowing the council to evaluate how it does. the police officers association says it would be a violation of existing laws. the city council sent the proposal back to a committee that will take up the idea in april. that will be months after mayor elect matt mehan and newly elected city council members have been sworn into office time. 5 47 san francisco police will add two new members to the police department today. they're not your typical recruits, though. take a look. they're going to swear in two horses pan, gus and

duke to the mounted police unit ceremony will take place at police stables in golden gate park, adding horses to the mountain of mounted police unit is a long and difficult process . the police department says the horses well trained, they look good, their entire physical condition. 99% of the candidates for the mounted police are rejected. all right. congratulations officers. duke and gus. yeah welcome to the foresight, right? i love seeing them that's seems like it seems like that's pretty. it's not a bad gig, right? cruising around on a horse in golden gate park. i was fascinated by that i grew up in san francisco would go out to golden gate park and my dad would take me around where the stables were and just check them out. it's pretty cool. good morning, everyone. let's go out and take a look at what we have. now this is a look at 8 80 south. we have a new crash, reported southbound 80 near eastern. it's not even that new. it's maybe about 10 minutes old and the good news is it is a non

injury crash. it was blocking all the lanes and chp briefly issued a sig alert. but i don't think it's going to be there for that. long westbound 5 80. we have a lot of slow traffic coming in over the altamont pass, and that's because of some earlier issues. they got that to the shoulder as well and culture cost a little slowing on how nwe 468 looks clear. from martinez to walnut creek metering lights have been turned on at the bay bridge went on at about 5 40. but it's not a big delay. yet bart has a 10 minute delay because of some ice on the tracks. uh and east contra costa county will get to the bottom of that. hopefully it won't be a thing for too much longer. speaking of cold and ice cold as i, steve. farewell tour, i believe is coming next summer. some of the original members, not the leads, not not lou gramm, but mike mibach mick jones. who's the guitar? little little google's research here that i'll get back to you? yes.

what band has any original have very many original members left anymore, all right, we'll have to be that's that's true. darn cold. that's what flavor said when he got out of bed this morning. well, not really. but exactly right. i'll start saying that instead of something else when i roll out of bed and it's 37 degrees, actually, i think it's 36 now, so it's darn cold. that's right. 32 atherton, menlo park, stanford, palo alto all thirties. unless you're on the san mateo coast, then you find some low forties. freeze warning is out or frost advisory is out, and that will take us until nine o'clock this morning. cold is not getting budged anytime soon . it's a pattern that looks very dry here for a while. here, we've gone from one. we had rain sunday night and monday and honestly, unless something develops on the 20th or 21st that maybe it for the month. cold morning sunny days. they just don't last very long. today's angle of sun is so low now. thirties forties in the hills upper thirties low forties . there is a little bit of an east northeast breeze but not as strong as yesterday. 14 in

to clean energy. we'll hear from the lead scientist about his initial reaction to that discovery. [cell phone vibrates] - i got some batteries and two flashlights. - what's up, champ! - i feel like you get taller every time i see you! detect this: living with hiv, i learned i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex.

don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash or other allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato.

car abundant fusion energy.

powering our society, a major scientific breakthrough at the lawrence livermore national laboratory could have a huge impact for the renewable energy in the future. it took decades to get to this major discovery and it happened right here in the bay area. very exciting. ktvu is brooks jarocz spoke with the lead livermore scientists who at first couldn't believe what the team had achieved. it took nearly 60 years to reach a scientific milestone. that's also an engineering marvel beyond belief, replicating the energy of a star nuclear fusion ignition could prove to be a new clean energy source. it took a while to sink in that we'd finally gotten over the turtle scientist alex soul stra led the experiment. 192 lasers shot into a cylinder the size of a pencil eraser, squeezing hydrogen atoms, then combining and igniting the result, more energy

than the lasers put in a task that required planning and precision. these are really extreme conditions, actually, the temperatures, densities and pressures that we achieve our higher than at the center of the sun. and so one of the main scientific objectives is to be able to understand how matter behaves at those conditions. one step closer to harnessing and creating, never ending clean energy, no nuclear waste of potential replacement for fossil fuels and an alternative to solar and wind that rely on storage. this is the ideal complement to clean renewable energy and energy storage. it allows you to think about fusion as a base load partner, not a competitor, but a real partner with clean energy going forward as we need to meet these mid century targets of zero emissions sustainability, experts say this breakthrough could lead to a long term climate change solution, but

there's still a long list of engineering hurdles, scaling and manufacturing fusion power technology could take 10. in years or more. now we need to simplify. the end. strip away the engineering to find out what do we need at minimum to make this work, and that's what's going to excite graduate students going to start excites silicon valley startup companies . it's going to get the really competitive, innovative juices flowing, pushing toward a clean energy future. u s. department of energy officials say this advancement redefines the boundaries of what's possible. i have a special message to listeners who want to work on exciting, challenging and important problems. we're hirind clean energy. it also opens the door to futuristic transportation. just imagine traveling within our own solar system by harnessing that power one day, scientists say it could be possible. brooks jarocz ktvu fox two news. alright, there's

your next college major, then happening today glide memorial church in san francisco is preparing for its 42nd annual toy wonderland. glad staff and volunteers are sorting through and packing. 500 bags of new handpicked toys and bikes for children of all ages this year, they have 300 more bags than last year, glide says there has been a rising need for toys this year due to the pandemic, inflation and the current economy. this is a tough time for a lot of people, and we just want to make sure that they have the best holidays that we can provide and help them. the volunteers will finish packing the bags today and begin delivering them tomorrow. a big donation of holiday toys was delivered to the san francisco fire department for its annual holiday toy drive. hundreds of toys were picked up by firefighters at st francis memorial hospital for the firefighters, oy programs those tories will be were donated through a partnership with dignity, health and fire fighters union local 7 98. toys

allowing the council to evaluate how it does the police officers association says it would be a violation of existing laws. the city council sent the proposal back to a committee that will take up the idea in april. however that will be months after mayor elect met mehan and newly elected city council members have been sworn into office 6 36 happening today of preliminary hearing in san francisco for the man accused of attacking the husband of house speaker nancy pelosi. 42 year old david cpap is accused of attempted kidnapping and assault in the break in the pelosi, san francisco home in late october. pap has pleaded not guilty to all charges in both federal and state courts. the district attorney's office expected to outline the evidence to support those state charges today, federal prosecutors have asked a judge to give them until february to examine all of the evidence. president biden signed the bill during a big ceremony
