And oakland, heavy rain. Lets check the rates. Rates tell you a lot. Accumulations matter but rates,. 05 near oakland, pick this up year. 09, its a lot less now through parts of the east bay. But heres the thing were picking up on. Let get into my little drawer thing going here. That area of orange to the north of us, right in here, this line, thats kind of the strongest dynamics and those strong dynamics are now just starting to push through the bay area. They are attached to that area of orange. So we are keeping an eye on it. Were live outside theres the Golden Gate Bridge. Winds have been coming on, too. We have that winter storm warning in the mountains and could easily, easily, easily see two, fleet of snow by the time this is all done. So, um, we got mark tamayo on the roof right now. Its light right now but were in between waves, right . We have that next deal upstream looks like its about, you know, maybe 10 minutes away from some significant rainfall rates in oakland and San Francisco. Reporter thats been the timing all week long. You have been forecasting things starting up in the north bay and moving to the south. We are live here on the roof here in oakland of ktvu channel 2. People are still walking their dogs so still not the heavy enough rain to stop them from going out but still, i have noticed over the past few minutes the overall rainfall rates have been picking up. I need my umbrella. I have been out here for a few minutes and if you sometimes get away with just having a few showers out there and not getting a soak. But in fact, i will say the rain has been picking up and as you know and everybody knows, the timing right now is not so great. It does not take a lot of water to mess up the commute. Im sure thats going to be a challenge for the motorists on the roads now. Thats right, mark. You know, in fact, i dont know if you have a monitor up there, but i showed that area up in the Fairfield Area up around napa, that orange reflectivity, the rainfall rates in there over an inch an hour. So parts of the napa county area, near the burn zones are seeing some significant rainfall rate. Looks like it will be short lived but there are significant rainfall rates. The forecast moves this through. Its not stalling out. But still, it looks like its going to give us a good soaking. Its doing it right now. Ill take away the umbrella and just expose myself to the elements and a few showers hitting me right now. So a little more of a moderate downpour i would say here in oakland. All right, mark. Well leave you up there until 10 00 tonight and check back in. [ laughter ] very cold. When we come back, we are going to talk more about what you can expect, the commute is a mess, and then the mountains, as well.

In other news tonight, we have breaking news from the uc board of regents meeting this afternoon. A vote was expected on a proposed tuition increase at campuses but that vote isnt going to happen until may. Ktvus alyana gomez is at that meeting in San Francisco with more. Reporter a surprising move, the board of regents voted to postpone that proposed tuition hike until may. I think some people thought they were going to at least push it to march but they pushed it even further to may which were finding out to be problematic for recruiting students. Incoming freshmen may not know what they are going to have to pay in the springtime. But the board of regents moved forward with the vote and decided to postpone it. But immediately following that vote, the board went ahead with discussion on tuition hike as planned. Again, they were proposing a 2. 7 tuition and student fee hike for instate students amounting to about 350 per student per year so students if that tuition hike goes through would pay 12,974 a year in tuition. Now, for outofstate tuition, they are proposing a 3. 5 hike amounting to 28,992 a year in tuition costs. Now, among the Board Members, there were some concerns about the accessibility and affordability of the uc education to all students. But some members see the increase as a way to provide more resources to current and incoming students. Again, this proposal has been postponed until may. We did though hear from the uc berkeley chancellor who spoke to the board about 30 minutes ago about why a moderate tuition increase will be used to support their students but also discussed how the campus has been reducing operating costs by eliminating 500 administrative positions. However, she said, putting the vote off until may creates uncertainty for incoming students. Families at the time they are admitted to berkeley wont know the cost of attendance. And we will not be able to effectively recruit students from out of state if by the may 1st deadline when, um, students have to make their commitment, they dont know how much its going to cost. Reporter the discussions amongst the chancellor representing the 10 campuses of the uc schools and, of course, the Board Members inside is still going on. That meeting is being held just beyond the wall of security you see behind me so they are still discussing the proposed tuition hike but again, will not vote until may. Thank you. Now to San Francisco also in San Francisco there is a political shakeup. The third mayor in six weeks started his first full day on the job today. Former district 2 supervisor mark farrell will hold the position until a citywide election in june. Ktvus Tara Moriarty live for us in San Francisco after talking with supervisors who voted for and against appointing farrell. [ no microphone ] [ screaming ] reporter it was a city hall stunner acting mayor london breed out, supervisor mark farrell in. I felt betrayed. Reporter her close ally on the board supervisor malia cohen. Im saying its a back room deal. Reporter a most deal city hall insiders said happened between progressives and farrell who is considered a moderate like breed. There was backlash for replacing the first black female mayor with a white man. I think what you saw last night wasnt, um, so much about elevating one white man, it was about sending a message to another white man, a tech titan billionaire named ron conway that San Francisco cannot be bought. Reporter peskin alleges that conway bullied supervisors into backing breed and it backfired. Did conway ever have a conversation with you . Ron conway has tried to have a conversation with me but we have yet to actually meet. Reporter but supervisor jeff she me who was considered the swing vote in favor of farrell said it didnt factor into the decision. You cannot concentrate all the power of the city in one office. Thats just not right. Reporter sheehy said he and other supervisors didnt think it was fair for breed to wear two hats, one as supervisor and one as mayor, while also running for mayor in june. I dont have to focus on the campaign trail. Im going to focus on San Francisco for the residents. Thats what they deserve. Reporter breed today appeared upbeat. I think this is going to empower people who traditionally may not get involved in elections. Reporter progressive jane kim and mark leno are also run in the special election and its no secret they wanted breed out to level the Playing Field so to speak. Mark farrell is keeping mum on who he will endorse if anyone and right now, the big task he has before him is the city budget and with his Prior Experience on the budget and finance committee, he definitely is equipped to do that. Live from San Francisco city hall, im Tara Moriarty, back to you some big challenges ahead for this interim mayor, tara, including the city budget. Did farrell talk at all about how he plans to sort of bring everyone together . He didnt. He said i was voted and i accept it with humility and great responsibility and im potentialed on the day to day tasks of focused on the day to day tasks of trying to make sure the city is up and running and right now its not about politics, its getting the city where it needs to be with the issues that, you know, all san franciscans are concerned about with regard to homelessness, Affordable Housing and, of course, public safety. Thank you. A judge in Riverside County today barred the parents of the 13 siblings found living in deplorable conditions in their home from contacting their kids. David and Louise Turpin are accused of abusing the children ranging from 2 to 29 years old before they were rescued last week. They allegedly held them captive chained to furniture and not feeding them for days. The siblings remained hospitalized in Southern California and prosecutors say they are slowly providing valuable information to investigators. Sir, im giving you 175 years, which is 2100 months. I just signed your death warrant. Usa gymnastics former team doctor learns he is never getting out of prison. Coming up next details about his sentence and how bay area schools made sure Something Like this never happens here. And President Trump talks about his immigration plan. What he just had to say about a pathway to citizenship for Daca Recipients. Ecipients. I just signed your death warrant, those were the words from a judge today to larry nassar, as she sentenced the former usa gymnastics doctor and serial abuser to decades in prison. That wrapped up days of emotional statements. Its impossible to write and convey. I will carry your words with me for the rest of my days. Reporter disgraced former sports doctor larry nassar speaking directly to his victims before a judge gave him a heavy sentence for his role in sexually assaulting young gymnasts. The sentencing hearing lasted 7 days as more than 150 of nassars victims including former olympians came forward to share their stories. You still think that somehow you are right that you are a doctor that youre entitled, that you dont have to listen and that you did treatment. I wouldnt send my dogs to you, sir. Reporter nassar pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting ten girls under the guise of medical treatment. The judge sentenced him to up to 175 years behind bars saying that with sentence, she has signed his death warrant. You do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again. Reporter usa gymnastics has been under fire over their mismanagement of the scandal with three of the organization Board Members stepping down earlier this week. The new president and ceo of usa gymnastics released a statement after the sentencing, saying, quote, i will not waiver on my commitment to focus each and every day on our organizations highest priorities, the safety, health and wellbeing of our athletes. We will create a culture that empowers and supports them. They say they care and that they want to be there for us and theyre assuring us safety. But what are you doing to do that . Reporter in addition to todays sentencing, nassar is already serving 60 years for child pornography creams crimes. In chicago, matt finn, fox news. This calls into question safety in sports. Ktvus brooks jarosz reports. I think the number one takeaway is that everyone has a role from the top down so were talking school administrators, teaches, coaches, parents, even the athletes themselves. But it begins with the policy and repetitive training. We found the state department of education does not track the specific number of Sexual Assault or abuse allegations against teachers or coaches. But state law does lay out the duties to protect students, specifically adopting a policy to stop discrimination, harassment, intimidation or bullying. There has to be a formal complaint process and schools or School Districts are required to investigate all complaints. Also, publicize the procedures every year to students, parents and employees all in an effort to promote a safe environment. There are also clear and strict child abuse identification and reporting guidelines. Some employees, administrators and coaches are considered mandated reporters so that means they must contact Law Enforcement if they suspect any child abuse other sexual misconduct. If they dont, they could face six months in jail or a 1,000 fine. In 2015, a new law required annual training to identify and report potential cases of sexual abuse and california even developed a new tool and online fourhour Training Program for anyone in contact with students or student athletes. One of organization is trying to be proactive to prevent any sexual abuse from happening within athletic organizations. Its called the us center for safe sport and allows Young Athletes to report allegations of Sexual Assault or misconduct. They also developed a code of conduct in hopes of other schools or sports groups will take that and implement it and the ceo says thats the first thing parents should be asking what policies are in place to protect my child and then talk with your kids. We need to have open dialogue with our kids about these subjects and it has to be ongoing. And we have to instill the sense of boundaries and being the boss of our own bodies and also instill in our kids that if someone asks you to keep a secret, what would you do . You know, would you feel comfortable coming to me and making sure that kids understand where they can go, who they can turn to in terms of providing that safe environment. Reporter so the takeaway message here really has to be a cultural shift encouraging anyone if they suspect something to speak up. So you have been looking into this. Right. Does it appear that more people are coming forward to report potential abuse . I mentioned there are mandated reporters like teachers or coaches or anyone that thinks there may be abuse going on. So all of those complaints then actually they dont go to the department of education. They go to whats called the California Commission on teacher credentialing. And they have seen about 200 complaints year to year but most recently in this past fiscal year, they saw more than 300. Hm. So there was a little uptick in the number of sexual abuse among children reports. You mentioned that some things are not being tracked. Is that going to change or do you know . At this point theres nothing that beyond the laws that are in place right now that says people have to report it other than those mandated reporters. So its really encouraged that they do that. If they dont, then it comes out later that they knew about it, as weve seen before, then they can face jail time or a possible fine of 1,000. Hm. All right. Brooks jarosz, thank you. Youre welcome. Appreciate it. Rain is heavy through the central bay. The heavy showers moved through napa valley a little bit ago. You can see had the rain in fairfield. Thats some significant rainfall and again we point out the rainfall rates in these areas are significant. So its the half inch of rain in an hour and again just gives you this obviously an example of a measurement of intensity and in these areas, certainly not far from the burn zones of napa, youre getting some really significant rain. Im not anticipating debris flows or anything like that but its something to watch because its shortlived stuff. Its moving through quick. And thats the key. If it hung out there for a while, we would be in some trouble. Um, im just putting in the storm reports right now to make sure were not missing anything, and i dont see any storm reports so thats good. Um, more showers all the way south. Youre seeing San Francisco right now getting heavy rain. Um, or moderate rain. Oakland moderate rain and those rainfall rates, again, lets check out lets go down to noe valley. Yeah,. 07, tenth of an inch an hour so thats mild rainfall with wipers on the regular settings. Mountain view and san jose, youre like hey, whats the big deal . We got nothing going on here. And in the mountains it turns into a winter storm warning as we go into this evening and into tomorrow morning at 10 a. M. So thats a pardon me, thats tomorrow morning, friday morning. We are going right through the day tomorrow. This storm really more than for the bay area, this storm for the mountains is going to be extremely productive. 30 inches i think is conservative. I think between tonight, tomorrow all day, and then all day all night thursday night with scattered snow flurries, they could see up to 4 feet of snow in some places. This type of system very productive up on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada so theres some good news there. We are getting rain, as well. You see the live camera shot outside. An afternoon commute thats not to be envied. I hope that you maybe had the day off or were leave early. Tomorrow will be scattered, it will be the day where you have clouds out for a walk and then it rains. Might get a thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon. Its not out of the question. But scattered showers stay in the forecast and those scattered showers for us, hit andmiss showers, but in the mountains its going to be persistent, persistent snow. There you will need chains. So its today good storm. When i come back well talk i just gave you the broad brush on tomorrow but i will give you the computer model layout hour by hour for your bay area thursday. Thank you. Two big developments on two topics involving President Trump.

Reporter down the street in congress, members are up against a february 8th deadline to reach a budget deal or shut down the government once again. Republican leaders in the senate have promised debate on immigration by that date, as well. Based on these negotiations the white house released a legislative framework on monday that represents a compromise that members of both parties can support. Reporter democrats argue they need a clear signal from President Trump on immigration before they can reach any agreement. If we dont solve this problem in 14 days, the republicans are going to have to explain to dreamers what their plan is to prevent them from being deported. Reporter about three dozen senators from both sides are meeting to try to hash out an immigration deal but the two sides acknowledge they are still far apart on related issues, everything from dreamers to the wall.

A new regulation overseas may change the way we recycle here in the bay area. Tom vacar reports on how a massive and backup of Recycled Materials may find its way back to our backyards. Reporter recologys 400 San Francisco recycle trucks bring in 650 tons of material every day and becomes clearly and is usually exported most of it to china for reprocessing. But as of new years day, china has changed their regulations involving the cleanliness of the materials they import. China is not going to take these bales any longer until we can get those impurities down to 1 . The deadline has passed. The limitations have already taken effect. Reporter that leaves most of recologys materials unacceptable and pretty much every other recyclers. Recology says its bales of cardboard are already clean enough and the chinese take that but they are not taking paper and plastic because it has too much impurities. So thats going to Southeast Asia. But theres only very limited capacity in Southeast Asia and once thats gone, all of this stuff will start piling up at other recyclers. Cities around the globe and the recycling companies that serve those cities are working very hard to find new homes for this material. Reporter thats because the only alternatives are either putting it into landfills or, worse, incinerating it worldwide with the greenhouse gasses that that pumps into the atmosphere that would quickly and substantially raise garbage and recycling fees nationwide. The solution is in every individuals hands. Wash out cans, bottles and jars before throwing them into recycling. The idea is to keep any small food residuals out of the recycling bin and protect the integrity of that recycled paper. Reporter members of congress have and are sending letters to the Chinese Government asking them to reset that deadline to give the nation time to catch up. Its really an effort to do right by the environment and to manage costs for all of us Going Forward to try to push off the day when we need to seek an increase.

Reporter members of the Bay Area Toll Authority approved a resolution that would put an initiative on the ballot before voters this june to increase the tolls at all stateowned bay area bridges. Thats all the bay area bridges except the Golden Gate Bridge which is operated by another district. Now, on most of those bridges, the base toll is 5. Under the proposal, if voters approved it that would go up to 6 by 2019, dollars by 2022 7 by2022 and 8 by 2025 and would pay for about 4. 5 billion in projects to reduce congestion. Specifically, things like more bart cars, more bart extensions, more express bus service, a new ferry system and even possibly the beginning of a second transbay tube for bart. The money is raised in the bay area, it stays here in the bay area. And it does a thing, Congestion Relief in these corridors that we cannot do in any other way. The federal government is not going to bail us out. Its not going to happen. The State Government cant either. If the bay area wants Congestion Relief, heres the plan. Reporter some of the commuters we spoke with say they are unsure about this solution and the idea of paying more for already expensive bridge tolls but just about everyone we talked to agrees something has to be done about the congestion. Absolutely. Yeah. I do. But i dont know what the answer is. Theres no money other than paying tolls. Wheres it coming from . Everything is going up. I dont see the roads improving. I dont see anything improving even if folks arent necessarily wanting the toll increase. Its going to go towards alternative forms of transportation to make them more accessible. Its going to make them happen which will help everyone. Reporter a bay Area Authority toll Spokesman Says there would be a discount for drivers who have to cross two bridges to where they are going, paying half price for the second bridge that they cross in a single trip but again, this all would need to be approved by voters. It will go before them on that june ballot later this year. In San Francisco, allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. And not only bridge tolls but drivers out there are dealing with some rain. Yes.
