traffic and was killed there. and also they don't know a motive for this attack. the investigation is still ongoing. we don't know. >>what precipitated or or what motivated this individual that to commit the stabbings during the investigation. we were in the process of obtaining an arrest warrant for him for attempted murder for this incident. >>obviously, very tragic sequence of events this morning. i 3 victims. their injuries range from minor to moderate. and now we have the deceased suspect. >>we're having some technical difficulties charles is live shot, but he'll continue to have updates for us on this story as we go throughout the day to the east bay now where teachers with west contra costa county unified school district are threatening to go on strike if the district doesn't address some covid safety concerns among their demands. the teachers union wants kn 95 and n 95 masks provided to all students and staff daily. they want opt out instead of opt in covid testing, meaning more students and staff will likely get tested. they also want to plan that ensures a qualified adult is available to fill in when a teacher is out of the classroom and they would like a formal procedure for what happens in the case of a class covid outbreak. all of this comes after dozens of students and teachers tested positive for covid over winter break, which then forced classes to be canceled. the union and district leaders are set to resume their talks today after meeting on monday. kron on's phillipe chagall is following the story. he's going to have more for us coming up on kron. 4 news at 3. a similar discussion over in oakland has resulted in a tentative deal between the oakland educators association and oakland unified schools. educators had threatened to strike and students held sickouts for the last few weeks over covid-19 safety concerns. the tentative deal, though, does call for weekly testing for students and staff at all school sites. if there is a limited supply, the tests will be prioritized to those who have been exposed to the virus. the deal also provides access to n 95 and higher quality masks and better ventilation and the classrooms as well as more outdoor spaces for students to eat their lunch. the deal still needs to be voted on, though and approved by the union of the school board. big story out of wall street this afternoon.

about 500 points. are 1.4%. nasdaq come composite added 3.2% and the s and p 500 gained 2.2% iyer interest rate means a wide range of borrowing from mortgages, credit cards, auto loans will get more

is planning to retire at the end of this supreme court term as our dc correspondent trevor shirley reports, this sets up president biden to make his first supreme court judicial nomination later this year. well, this announcement really came as a surprise earlier today. what it will do is set up a showdown in the senate over confirmation hearings. >>what it will do, though, likely is change the ideological breakdown of the court as it stands right now. justice steven briar was appointed to the court in 1994. by former president bill clinton. he's a consistent liberal voting. many of the court's decisions that split down ideological lines. but it 83 years old. his retirement is not totally unexpected. the white house said earlier that any decision to retire is left entirely up to the justices now begins the washington guessing game of who president biden will nominate to fill this vacancy back on the campaign trail, biden pledged to nominate the first black woman to serve on the court. so there will likely be high expectations that the president remain committed to that pledge. whoever he nominates the current breakdown of 6 conservative justices and 3 liberal justices likely won't change the timing on this, though, is worth noting since the midterm elections could see democrats lose control of the senate, which votes to confirm judicial nominees. justice briar may have considered that when making his decision. but so far, neither he nor the supreme court has commented on this announcement. and so far the white house also hasn't laid out any kind of timeline as to when president biden might name a nominee to fill this opening reporting in washington. i'm trevor shirley. >>coming up at 2 o'clock, i'm going to be speaking with law professor rory little to discuss a little bit more about what the justices retirement means for the supreme court. back here at home, governor gavin newsome was in the south bay today highlighting his proposed climate related

live look outside east bay over berkeley. we are noticing better lifting and clearing with that fog bank. a lot more sunshine, though, this afternoon, but they expect another round of dense, low

storm really just going to make its way north of the bay area. bringing us cooler cloudier weather more sunshine for the 2nd half of the weekend. and take a look at all this rain. you would think that we're going to get a lot with this storm. it turns out it's going to be on the weaker side already trending drier, as i speak with, not even traces amount of rain showing from our futurecast rain totals from now through monday night. so i'm definitely not looking forward to this weather pattern. it looks like long. yes, starting to shift and really dry out. she did give us abundant rain to start out our wet season. but now this 2nd half looking dryer as i speak. so let's take a look at temperatures out there right now. still going to continue to see very mild, dry, hazy conditions for your wednesday afternoon, oakland, upper 40's because of that fog bank as a santa rosa, everyone else in the bay area tracking widespread 50's and then expect to see 60's throughout later this afternoon with a few degrees above average temperatures for warmest inland valleys, about 5 degrees above normal. and taking a look ahead at the next 7 day forecast not liking this pattern at all know. well, we're going to stay cool and dry overnight, but then no rain in the forecast. unfortunately, back to you. that's upsetting. all right. thank every said the world health organization is

the first time this week. they got an advantage by playing early on saturday. the last time that the rams were here, they but weapon when they played the forty-niners, they lost 31 to 10 and then couple weeks ago when they play this sunday, it will be exactly 3 weeks when they had a meltdown for the ages when they were up 17 points against the niners and then they let the niners come back in when and why was that so important? because had the rams won, the niners would not even be in the playoffs altogether. the trends, if you want to based on history is for sweeping a team in a regular season facing each other for a 3rd time. history says that the niners should win, but that's why they play the game. there's that phrase any given sunday. nobody knows that better than coach kyle shanahan who says when they hit the field, it is just pedal to the metal. >>i mean, every time reading came word that talk about and help with the all these things can change and how quick game can get out of hand. go back to our first game this year with detroit and being a 41 to 17 with them enough. if he left and we went by 8 points and they have the ball or experience you get on that. you start to realize you should never be comfortable. should never be comfortable today given that. i think it just i think it helps you stay more humble. more crown didn't never get too confident. he'll are too until you get the job done. and that job is never done until you're shaking hands with the game's over at this point in the season. rest everything. the niners. they will hit each other for the next 3 days. here's the advantage of playing on saturday. >>the team historically that plays on saturday and not sunday. the rams play the bucks on sunday. well, they have won 2 out of 3 games when they faced each other on this sunday on a conference championship game. so arrest us everything. we do know that the niners will take the field here at one 15 this afternoon. and when they travel down there, it looks like most of the fans will be traveling as well. early guess is it looks like 2 thirds of sofi stadium will be a sea of red if the niners win. a lot of fans will come into work on monday, meaning i helmet this size. >>well, take a look at this display in sacramento. home lit up with a replica forty-niners football field. the official forty-niners logo and jerseys hanging on the garage and even a model golden gate bridge on the lawn. the owner of this house has been putting on this forty-niners team display since the 1990's. he puts up around thanksgiving just in time for the holidays. but this year he's decided to keep it up to bring the niners some good luck in the playoffs. he says it's, of course, about rooting on his beloved team, but also about bringing joy to the community. >>i like people enjoyed. i just feel like i'm i'm helping. yeah. maybe lightning up to the attitude people's out. you know that we feel right now. it is. but it is pretty dark times right now. hopefully help this and plus a plus. what's more forty-niners. don't forget that. haha. >>if you've got the outside was impressive. take a look at the inside. there's a room. bruce calls the

giants slugger barry bonds. snub from the baseball hall of fame in his final year of eligibility. he got 66% of the vote, but he needed at least 75% again and re entry to cooperstown. it was always going to be an uphill climb for the home run. king, though he could became the face of a generation of players who either used or were suspected of using performance enhancing drugs. bonds still has an outside chance of getting in via the hall of fame's. today's game committee, the halls committee is comprised of players, executives and media who are charged with evaluating overlooked candidates. i know a lot of people are hoping that he does get his spot. that vote won't come down until december. well, step aside, generic cookies and ceam. oreo is making its own brand of frozen treats. oreo fans have long been enjoying frozen treats with the classic cookie. but those desserts were always co branded with oreo. now oreo has its own line featuring ice cream bars, sandwiches and cones. the cookie company says these treats are more authentic in that. the ice cream is flavored to taste like the iconic cream stuffing of their cookies and the cookie pieces inside are made from actual oreo cookies as well. i'm not sure how be able to tell the difference between these ones and the ones that are branded them or co-branded, but not theirs. but i will definitely be trying that because cookies and cream is just my favorite. well, do you know the world's oldest aquarium? fish lives right here in the bay area? that's right. s to sell a is a 90 year-old australian lung fish and she lives at the california academy of sciences right here in san francisco. she's named after a character in the bible. actually, noah's grandfather who was said to have lived to the ripe old age of 969, i guess we'll have to wait and see if she reaches that age. this fish came to the academy of sciences back in 1938. back then. researchers say she was already pretty old. >>based on the pictures that i've seen in the size of her when she arrived. she was a young either. so baby per se. so i want to say maybe tack on maybe 5, 6, years. just a conduit here. >>australia month fish are believed to be

very shoddy. i mean, once we get a little connection, it's only about, you know, a minute 2 minutes. so, you know, we make contact there ok or our facilities are fine on lots of ash or getting a lot of complaints about the air quality and as far as any flooding in it, where are our facilities that, well, a little bit inland from the coastline. so we were okay. just the ash we'll clean up the group outside on sanogo and take years of work, come back out and actually so it's weird how it's still a big issue. >>it's a mauling like that. >>yeah, it's still falling. and they say they can visibly see it but they win for now and come back. it's covered where we are >>yes, some of the images i've been seeing really hard to believe because of, of course, john does increase incredibly green and lush. but now everything is completely brown and gray. have you been able get a better idea of what it is the biggest need over there in terms of relief right now. >>from based on talking to our work family and some are family members. they were happy. we had mass headed there already on a vessel. so luckily was they are ready, but the mask a really helpful erin hill, you national obviously causing people to water. sources are pretty much depleted, but they were lucky. a lot of that use. ealing vessels have come in already and provided water some some flights came in with with water as cargo. so they're slowly getting and getting that help. but it seems like mostly asked the air quality horrible. like i said earlier, but definitely the water there was some information released. i guess that the municipal water there was okay to drink, but against we even saw after that that recently she says the equalizer everyone scared. you know what, the next move is going to be. so we're really focused on our efforts on getting as much water. there's possible. >>definitely, i like you mentioned, australia and new zealand military planes. they arrived over the weekend with large crates of water. i know 80% of the shipments that come from you guys as prizes and logistics. go there to tonga. i know you sent a ship last week, but you're getting ready to send another one. are you encouraging people to bring donations to you guys to be sent over there? now? >>again, we'll take whatever we get. we'll send it that that's not an issue, especially general donation to mall. fortunately, our organization working closely with the lines and we're able to get help get some relief rates because not only are there people that directly affected that don't have any help from here. but there's also people that want to send their family members. you know, our usual work. you know, been doing this for 37 years. so, you know, family members that ship every vessel now even more urgent like, listen, i know i just in the box in the last year, but he want to be right behind it. you know, so we're helping with our hope when i'm getting relief rates just for the next couple feelings. because after we want to be able to rebuild its economy. you know, the local market for local stores, we can send all this really will not think about the long-term effects. it's going to have on on the businesses. you know, mean, all this free water, clean food. so putting a limit on it. we're doing it for the next 4 ceiling just to get people on their feet. but then we also have to look at the long-term health the economy. after all this, you know? >>right, because right now they're unable to to work. really. they're having to clean up and and try and just keep themselves safe. right? >>right. exactly. exactly. so when people cut, we've been getting lots of calls. i had a cobb paper called and said i want to do entire container. put the out. you won't think that that's a comfort that something you need right away. but yeah, i mean, we're not going to stop people from money to help. the outpour of support has been, to say the least. i mean, my surprise know, it just showed you a humanity and how when someone's in need people are not afraid to help out and want to help. that's a crazy thing. >>well, especially when you know something like this, we even felt the effects, very tiny, you know, we have that tsunami advisory. so i think law allowed people to have heightened awareness about what was going on there on those your next shipment leaves next week, correct? >>cricket is a vessel leaving on february 6, 7, so are receiving donations and also just the regular shippers until wednesday. the second before 4. >>ok and and you want people bringing donations just straight there to your location in oakland. >>yes, and there's a process because we have to distinguish what donated this to and what you know for personal should be. so there's plenty of help here. when you show up to give you a form to fill it out and we'll make sure your car will gets where it needs to get to. >>right. and the mo is basically their equivalent of fema. >>right. it's a national emergency management office. again, calls have been tough to get the call seem like they're coming to us from tonga. so we've been trying to call their it all. they're not able to pick up moving getting also. i'm having my office there in tonga try to make contact looking good. these containers is they get there. they process it right away. >>okay. okay. so if you have a basic needs type of donations, like you said, toilet paper, water masks, that sort of thing. that's what you guys are looking for from folks. yeah, anger. i nonperishable foods because my concern 2 now after seeing that, i still have water that that showed up after last cut off. and i'm going to on this vessel i'm starting to feel like maybe we might need to start bringing some guy nonperishable food. some organizations came light. >>canned food like noodle stuff that they can be right away. you know, just until bacon, who have no props props were so they're kind of depending on nonperishable food at the moment until they can get the forms back. >>okay. and i know that those shipments take a while to get there. but as soon as they get there, that's going to be a really big help for anything else you want people to keep in mind when it comes to this process there men and how long it's going to take to really rebuild. >>i definitely think it's going to take a little loud just like we did with michael key to this is you know, larger magnitude and just regular to be patient. and, you know, everyone's trying their best to it is much help to their family as much help to the general population one thing i did want to say what i've also talked to the organizations that helping is pay attention, expiration dates because you want to receive something and it's expired in march with this missile is to get there to march. okay. so you want to make sure that you have time on your donations, it there and get this person still be usable you. so all right. cecilia, thank you so much
