Democratic president ial candidate Bernie Sanders says he will drop out of the race if joe biden ends up with more delegates heading into the Democratic Convention in july. Well run through i suspect well run through the process of people having a right to vote. If biden walks into the convention or at the end of the process has more votes than me, he wins. He made these remarks on a show after winning fewer states in the super tuesday primaries than expected. Biden picked up ten states, sanders took four. This idea that we didnt have a movement, look at the results. Look at who is showing up. We are bringing out this campaign, the people behind me, are bringing out people who have not participated. Senator Elizabeth Warrens campaign is said to be assessing the path forward off her bad results on super tuesday. The next round of primaries is tuesday, march 10th, when voters in six more states head to the polls. So lets give you an update as to the delegate count. Biden, 566. Sanders, 501. Elizabeth warren, 61. Michael bloomberg, 53, but he dropped out right about this time yesterday morning. Most states including california are not winnertake all.

Check it out. Look for the story right there on the front page. 7 08. Out the door, traffic is nice so far. Yeah. For the most part. Now we have had a couple of things going on in the last two minutes that might change that. Lets go out and take a look at 80 westbound. I want to show you the commute coming in to the macarthur maze, 30 minutes. Then at the bay bridge toll plaza, youll see the traffic is backed up. 880 is not so slow just yet. We look at some of these commutes, American Canyon traffic slow. Novato to san rafael, slow traffic there. Theres a new crash in san bruno on 380 at 101. If you are trying to get to the airport, give yourself extra time if you use the san bruno freeways there near the airport. Temperatures coming down a good 15 degrees. It seems like forever and a day since temperatures have been either normal to below. They will get there by saturday. Today, theyre trending that way. San francisco, 62. Exactly where they should be. Others are still above by about one to eight degrees or so. And the low thats in front associated to the north is on its way to bump the high out of here. A lot of cold clouds coming out of the gulf of alaska, too, thats going to play into a cooldown for us. So this weekend, today it will be cooler, well get 50s at the coast, up to the 70s inland. Tomorrow cooling, and light rain makes it in here saturday. Another 24 hours. Hopefully they dont, you know, knock us off the rain pedestal and say, oh, we were just teasing. But there it is for saturday morning, looks about. 18 at sfo saturday morning. Then a low comes in. Where that sets up shop will make a huge difference in our weather next week. It looks like central and Southern California to me, but its close. Things can always change. Those are really tricky to forecast when you get those things that cut off to the west southwest, and they can play havoc for the forecast. It does look wetter for central and Southern California as we hopefully get an end to these dry stretches on now for 37 days in San Francisco. 50s, 60s to 70s. And cooling continues tomorrow. The fog maybe even a little drizzle certainly possible late friday into early saturday. Does look like some light rain and staying cool on sunday again. Thank you. Time is 7 10 00. Last nights episode of the popular tv show the masked singer gave viewers something to taco about. The singer was revealed. Coming up, well talk live with the latest unmasked contestant on the show and why being on that show was the hardest work theyve done in years.

Welcome back to mornings on 2. Its 7 14. In central tennessee, neighbors are helping neighbors after two deadly tornadoes. At least 18 people died when a powerful storm leveled a neighborhood in putnam county. Only a couple of homes were standing. Most people were sleeping when the tornado hit their homes and turned them into piles of debris. They were badly shaken when they actually saw the devastation. Grown mans not supposed to cry. But let me tell you, Something Like this, it will make you cry. People from across the central part of tennessee have been donating clothing, bringing in bottled water and organizing supply kits. The storm that hit downtown nashville killed six people. The National Weather service said the winds were as strong as 165 miles an hour. Investigators say they think a missing 9yearold boy from petaluma was taken to maui by his mother. The Sonoma County Sheriffs Department says Surveillance Video shows santiago boarding a flight with his mother yesterday. Federal authorities are searching. This is his mother. Her name is autumn stone. She does not have legal custody. Stone is facing parental abduction and child concealment charges. 7 15. Happening today, hundreds of teachers, students and parents will be rallying outside of the San Francisco school board headquarters. The school board called a special meeting to talk about laying off staff to help close a 26 million budget deficit. The board canceled that meeting. But the parents, students and teachers say they are still going to hold their rally to let the school board and the public know they want to work with the board to find other ways to cut expenses. That rally is due to begin at 4 30 p. M. Today. The Oakland School board approved 20 million in budget cuts and will send layoff notices to nearly 100 workers. Teachers, students and parents attended a meeting and demanded the school find other ways to fill the budget gap. Many suggested shutting down the School Police program, which they say would save 2 million. The board rejected that suggestion. The oakland superintendent says the cuts are agonizing but necessary. Being insolvent is not an option. Even though we did do our best to try to keep cuts as far away from students as possible, there will still be impacts to schools. Staff cuts will include librarians and counselors. The board also approved using one Million Dollars from the Emergency Fund to help close the budget gap. A new report says San Francisco police completed less than half of the reforms called for by the Justice Department. Oakland police Department Says it wants to pick up the pace on the 272 reforms called for by the Justice Department in 2016. Those reforms were initiated after several officer involved killings that led to the resignation of former police chief greg suhr. Despite slow progress, there have been some positive changes including a reduction in the use of force cases. A state Appeals Court has ruled that Berkeley Police should not have searched a car even though the Police Officer could smell marijuana in that car. The officer stopped the car that did not have a front license plate. The driver pulled over, told the Police Officer he had a small amount of marijuana and passed a field sobriety test. The marijuana was in a closed tube as required by state law. No other drugs were found. However, a loaded gun was discovered under the seat and the driver was arrested. The court ruled the car should not have been searched and the gun charge should be dropped. Sal, you pointed out some important issues on the commute affecting many people. Yeah. Gasia, this is great im wrong. Gasia, gasia sorry about that not so fast. Yeah. My work sister. Good morning, everyone. Although, youre not that wrong. 32 minutes for this time of the morning on the eastshore freeway . Ill take it. I will take that. Thats not the worst time weve seen. And you can see traffic here at the approach doesnt look too slow. But we do have some slowing a little bit more here on 880, a little slowing and on 580 getting into oakland. But things are not as dizzy as i thought they would be on some of these commutes. Highway 37 is slow getting out to the. We also have highway 4, slow coming in antioch to concord. And then some moderate slowing on the san mateo bridge and dumbarton bridges. And some slowing in the south bay. So theres slow traffic. Its not the worst day weve seen. But there are some things 17 had some slow traffic, and i want to let you know that traffic is going to be mostly routine out there. 7 18. Heres a man who is never routine, steve paulson. Thank you, sal. I appreciate that. We have a change here. And you probably saw it, probably felt it. The low clouds are back, a big cooldown after recordsetting temperatures again yesterday. Good morning. Just saw your forecast for saturday. So planning a picnic on saturday, is that a bad idea . I just had a couple of ants invading your picnic on saturday are canceling because its going to rain. We dont have berkeley proper, but we have santa rosa, San Francisco and concord. Theres up to. 15 forecast for saturday morning. Couple of models coming in now are showing light rain. So theyre not backing off. Theyre Holding Court with some rain. This may end our dry stretch at 38. I dont think well get rain tomorrow. But maybe at 39 which would keep us in fourth place. Third place is 42. Then 43 days, this happened twice, depending on what parameters youre looking at, but thats the the consensus, 43 days. 12 degrees lower today in San Francisco. No 80s in San Francisco today. Down to the 60s. Moving fog coming in looks like may or june, not early march. Water temperatures are cold. Once they got help from a west or south wind, it will fly in. And its exactly what happened. Mainly the onshore breeze, not the offshore. And in the hills, its even west or south. Thats the boy, a cold front actually making an appearance here. Its going to bump the high out. So the fog is back, it will be cooler. If you are inland, you dont get the fog. It will be cooler, sunny and nice. More clouds for the weekend. Cloudy saturday. Right now it looks like some light rain saturday morning. What about next week . Another low is going to drop into the westsouthwest. These are always a bear to forecast because nobody on the forecast models really handles this all that weather. The trend looks to be central and Southern California for next tuesday and wednesday. But its close. Well deal with it next monday. But that looks to be the theme for right now. 50s, 60s to near 70s on a few temperatures. They are heading down. Cooling will continue friday. Gasia, dare i say, dare, dare, maybe some light rain saturday morning . Fingers, toes, everything crossed, thank you, steve. The james bond premiere has been pushed back due to the coronavirus.

Reporter good morning to you, gasia. Anne kirkpatrick will be joined by Howard Jordan, another former Oakland Police chief. And im also learning this morning that noel gallo will be speaking as well at the conference. He plans to head to washington, d. C. , this weekend where he is calling on the department of justice to end the federal Oversight Program that the Police Department has been under for 17 years now. Kirkpatrick and jordan plan to talk about calls to remove the federal oversight monitor, and they plan on releasing new allegations of wrongdoing by him. Its been two weeks since kirkpatrick was fired by the Oakland Police commission, and she sat down with me shortly after where she told me the department was very close to being in compliance with all of the reforms, but then the monitor moved the goalpost, so to speak, and the new reforms would be added. I am truly deeply concerned that we have been under 17 years of oversight. Something is wrong. Its a milliondollar contract. Where is the incentive to find you in compliance . Reporter the federal oversight monitor has we competedly declined to comment saying he cant speak on the case. The lawyers who filed the original suit agree that the Oversight Program is too long, but they say the alternative of possible legal settlements from police abuse cases would be far more costly than an annual milliondollar contract. Kirkpatrick was fired without cause by the Police Commission, which was approved by mayor libby schaaf. It was a decision that schaaf says was hard to make. The trust has been broken between the chief and the Police Commission. So again, Anne Kirkpatrick will be speaking out this morning with Howard Jordan, both of them planning this Media Conference later this morning. Well of course be there.

Things are recovering on some of the commutes. The way this goes is the east bay commute starts first. It ends first. Lets start with the eastshore freeway and ill show you that 36 minutes of that drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze about typical. Then to the bay bridge, about 20 minutes. And 880 is slowing down, which is typically slow here. If you are driving on highway 4, its still slow, and there was an earlier accident coming out of antioch but it is still slow on highway 4 and 680. We have not seen lighter commutes. We maybe heard that some people may try to work from home  during these times. It doesnt look like it. People still are going where theyre going. The south bay commute is in full strength here getting up to sunnyvale, cupertino and los altos. Again, all typical uneventful peninsula commute, just the way we like it. Sal, thank you, sir. Well take a look. As you know, the dry spell continues here. But that may end on saturday. Most all the forecast models are putting in some rain on saturday. In fact, its widespread now. Theres a consensus on it. For San Francisco, the last rain was on the 28th of january. I included today, so that would be 37 days. Thats the fourth longest. Twice they have hit 43 days before. I dont think well get there. But what about san jose . The National Weather service in monterey was kind enough to answer my request. San jose last recorded rainfall on january 28th. Thats 36 days. You can makeit 37. No rain today. This is the first place. Physical being 1934 when they had 54 days. They had a streak of 54 dry days. They are not even in the top one or two yet. I think the streak will end this saturday. So you can see right there, thats a little rain on a saturday. San jose would have. 16. San francisco about the same and santa rosa. That streak will end for San Francisco and san jose. We will not be setting any record. What about snow . Well, it does look like some snow will make it into the sierra, as well. They got a nice over achiever last weekend and they get up to five inches this saturday, and we should get some rain. We have fog, it flew back foot picture. Cooler weather is on the way along with westsouthwest onshore wind. Napa 81 for a record high, gilroy with a record high. But thats over. The pattern is changing. So the fog is back. Its cooler and well continue that into friday. Clouding up on saturday, saturday morning with light rain on the way. Well see if they change their mind tomorrow. I hope not. But its looking you get this close, now usually theyre on the moneyed. 50s and 60s on the temperatures. Near 70. Cooler tomorrow. Same through the weekend with temperatures in the 50s. Oakland Public Schools are facing staffing cuts after board supervisors approved budget cuts. Hear why the Oakland School superintendent says those cuts are necessary.

The Oakland Unified School district superintendent says the cuts are agonizing but necessary. The staff cuts will include librarians and counselors. The board also approved using a Million Dollars from the Emergency Fund to help close the budget gap. Another check of traffic with sal. How are we doing out there . Were covering some of the commutes getting busier. For example, if you turn on now and youre a south bay commuter, some of the east bay commutes are beginning to improve like the richmond bridge, better than it was earlier if you were looking at 7 15 with more traffic. Things are better. At one point it was 45 to 50 minutes now down to 36 minutes here. And counting down getting to the bay bridge, which is about a 20minute delay. Interstate 880 slow northbound. You would expect that and so is 580 from san leandro boundary over to the lakeshore area of oakland. In the north bay the traffic is rather uneventful here on the on 101. Slowing in petaluma and slow from novato to san rafael. Thats not unusual. Lets bring steve in with todays weather. Sal, our weather has finally turned more towards where it should be, not rain yet. But it looks like its in our near future on saturday. The fog came roaring up the coast today. Onshore breeze is in place. We talked about the cold water temperatures, 52, all it needed was a little help. The high backed off allowing the fog to make a push and theres your onshore wind west southwest or south. That will do it versus a north northeast. So 50s, 40s on the temperatures. We have a system on the way. You can see it up there. Thats going to start to work its way in rate there. Theres your front. As that comes in that will really enhance that fog bank. Can we get any rain in here . Thats the question. It sure looks like we want to on saturday. The forecast modest models ramped it up a bit. It might favor central and Southern California. That would end our dry street. Temperatures are coming down closer to where they should be. Not 15, 20 degrees above. Thank you, steve. San franciscos District Attorney is about to join us live in studio. We are going to talk about a case thats drawn worldwide attention.

But with rising stress in the modern world, yawning a good nights sleep is nearly extinct. However, theres hope on the horizon. Every day, ikea is designing vital sleep sanctuaries. With rest reserves like these, repopulation is possible, and together, we can save our sleep. Welcome back. San franciscos District Attorney is under fire for his decision not to pursue criminal charges for one participant in a violent incident that happened in San Franciscos Bayview District last month. After a 20yearold man was arrested on robbery, hate crime and elder abuse charges, the d. A. Dropped the charged and pursue Restorative Justice instead. Lets talk about this with San Francisco District Attorney chesa boudin. Thank you for having me. What did you think when you saw the video of of the attack in the bayview . It was tragic. It was heartbreaking. You have an old man vulnerable, limited english if any english. He is out there collecting cans for his livelihood to pay rent. He is target. He is harassed and discriminated against based on his race and the cans are robbed from him. Its black and white. Very offensive. So why the decision to drop the criminal charges involved in the attack. We see the man crying, being chased, being assaulted this man clearly has no agency as he is standing in his own neighborhood. When we look at this video, it seems quite clear just looking at the video that a crime was committed. Thats why we filed the serious criminal case alleging the robbery against the man that did the robbery. Now, theres a younger man who makes the video. That man was also arrested by the police and he was booked by the police on a robbery charge. But theres no evidence that he took any property. He is a young man with his whole life ahead of him. And making a video is not in and of itself a crime. So he is the one holding this camera at times pushing it up into the victims face. Sounds like we hear him making some statements. Very offensive. Yet none of that is criminal . Well possibly some of it could be. But its not a robbery. And making a video and being racist is not a crime. So why decide to pursue Restorative Justice in this highprofile case . The key thing for us always is starting with the victim. And we reached out to the victim. We asked what he wanted. We asked what his views on the case were. And he was very clear. He said, this is a young man, and i want a letter of apology and healing for the community. We wanted to honor the victims wishes here not only because we always listen to victims and not only because we always want to up lift victims, but i made a Campaign Promise that i would give every victim of every crime the right to participate in Restorative Justice if they choose to. This was directed by the victim in this case . Absolutely. Id like to put a quick pause here and read to our viewers a statement. I reached out to the San Francisco Police Officers association. And the sfpoa issued this statement in response to the decision to pursue Restorative Justice saying, quote, this was a violent hate crime and should have been prosecuted as such. Chiesa is supposed to stand up for victims, not repeat offenders. His idea of having a violent criminal motivated by hate paint over graffiti to call that justice is an offensive joke. Whats your response . We charged the person who took the cans with robbery in jail right now as we speak facing a very serious strike charge. He turned himself in on sunday . Correct. It also ignores the fact that we cannot successfully prosecute crimes when victims refuse to cooperate. The victim said he wouldnt have spoken out against the 20 yearold who recorded and posted this video on social media. Correct. More over, it uses victims. This statement and this mentality would have our office use victims as a piece of evidence rather than focus on what victims want and need to heal and move on from a horrific traumatic experience. We are going to use this to heal the victim and tensions dividing San Franciscos communities across the city. Lets talk about Restorative Justice. It may be new to some people. In a case like this where you have an elderly man who who has not much command of the english language from what i understand, who didnt even come forward as a victim, the community had to find him. Correct. And bring him to the Police Department. Correct. How do you give that man agency to look his attacker in the eye and say what you did was wrong . It starts with asking him what he wants and his needs. We know what his needs are. He has been clear, he doesnt what to go to court and testify against the young man who made a video. Can you still prosecute the case with criminal charges if you dont have the victim agreeing to go to court . In some cases, you can. Other cases, you cant. Its an open question. It certainly makes it much more difficult for us to prove that a crime was committed. Ordinarily, making a video and being racist is not a crime. The second person, the older man in this case, he is being charged with crimes. Correct. With robbery, which is a strike, and he is in county jail right now as we speak. Thats been largely overlooked by the naysayers and the people who would have us simply treat the victim as a piece of evidence, have us ignore his wishes and his needs. So the victim says that he will speak in court against the man who was seen swinging the the the trash picker at him we hope he will cooperate. Robbery is serious. We take is seriously and we need to hold people accountable. I believe in many cases this justice is a more meaningful way to hold people accountable than simply giving them a criminal conviction and probation. It is a very difficult to look someone in the eye who you have harmed, apologize and to go through a long process of making amends, especially when the crime was motivated as in this video by racial animus. Can you understand why at least some people think that Restorative Justice is a soft way to deal with a crime that captured hearts worldwide . Theres a go fund me raised 60,000 for this man i forced myself to watch the whole video last night and it brought me to tears. Absolutely. Its heartbreaking. So do you understand why some people think Restorative Justice may seem a little soft f what happened . I dont think they understand what Restorative Justice is. A book about it based on decades of experience of cases even more violent than this one, in which she explains that often its a much more powerful and difficult way for people to take responsibility and be held accountable than even going to prison. Certainly, you campaigned on the platform of criminal reform here we see it in action. Thank you, chesa boudin, for coming here to talk with us about this. Thank you. Well be right back.

Today former Oakland Police chief Anne Kirkpatrick is renewing her calls to end the federal Oversight Program of opd. She will be speaking this morning along with another former Oakland Police chief. Ktvus Cristina Rendon live in oakland to bring us more. Cristina. Reporter good morning to you. Anne kirkpatrick will be joined by Howard Jordan, another former Oakland Police, and city councilman noel gallo who is going to washington, d. C. , this weekend to call on the department of justice to open an investigation here into the federal oversight monitor program that oakland has been under for 17 years. He wants to see that program ended, as does kirkpatrick and jordan. Both of them plan to talk about this federal Oversight Program and specifically the federal monitor. They plan to release new allegations of wrongdoing by him. And we all know this comes two weeks after kirkpatrick was fired by the Oakland Police commission.
