can immediately let them know. police say the best way to really protect yourself and protector merchandise is to keep it under lock and key. but in a display case of put it at the back of the store

wave competition in hawaii has been called off. the invitation-only event known as the eddie was called off because waves were just too small. tens of thousands of people were expected to jam north shore rose to catch a glimpse of the surfers caching serious ways. this last competition was held some six years ago. since then, the waves haven't gotten big enough. the cancellation has many wondering if the surf will cooperate for the titans of mavericks competition. people are hopeful that they don't know. >> i think we will be okay. a look at what is shaping up on friday. what do you think, mark? you never really know until you wake up in the morning and go out there. that's when the actual forecast verifies but it looks nice for the bay area in the friday forecast for mavericks. this will explain analyze. ucb's well we are watching, this blob in the pacific with high seas. as we look at hawaii, this was the trajectory for the swell after north shore in the main brunt of the swell wasn't focused toward hawaii but more energy will approach the west coast california and toward mavericks. that's why we're confident that we will have pretty good event coming up on friday. wave heights right now range between 5 feet to 28 feet. here is a look at some of the wave heights just offshore. as far as mavericks, the buoy shows only 5 feet but that will change over the next 24 hours. here is pillar point. deepwater offshore, shallowater closer to pillow -- pillar point. that puts the energy of that wave closer to mavericks. that's where you get the permission of the waves. we could be talking about wave faces from 25 to 35 feet as we head toward friday. that's all the forecast models are shaping up as we take a look at the mavericks friday forecast. great commissions. we will keep an eye on the weather pattern as well. just 30 minutes ago, the cdc confirmed the first case of zika virus in california. they aren't saying the name age or gender of the person who has a virus. the cdc says the patient recently traveled outside of the country and is a resident of yolo county. previously, we have reported about a suspected case of a pregnant woman in berkeley but have not heard from the cdc if that woman has indeed been confirmed to have the virus. the zika virus is transmitted by a certain species of mosquito and can cause very serious birth defects in babies whose mothers contract the virus while pregnant. the field of presidential hopefuls is now dwindling after the new hampshire primary. we will breakdown whose out, who still fighting and the impact for the win for donald trump and bernie sanders. ktvu is celebrating the lunar new year. the very latest on festivities all around the bay area and be sure to tune in on february 20 for the chinese new year parade in san francisco. we will bring it to you live right here on ktvu a quick look at 880 . warriors on the road. a nice victory at oracle. traffic pretty slow northbound toward downtown oakland. the polls got it right has predicted, donald trump and ernie sims won the new hampshire primaries. is giving some campaigns the shot in the arm they needed heading into the next round of primaries like south carolina but this time with a much smaller field. republican hopefuls carly fiorina and governor chris christie both have dropped out of the race following their disappointing showing barry new hampshire. kristin fisher has the latest on the race for the white house. >> reporter: after spending more than 70 days campaigning in new hampshire and only placing 16 the grant state primary, chris christie says he is out. carly fiorina is also throwing in the towel after a close to last-place finish in new hampshire. meanwhile, john kasich is enjoying his wave of popularity after coming in second. not wasting any time, he arrived in south carolina early this morning and spend the day meeting with constituents. >> when people go negative it's because they've got something they aren't doing right to connect and i would rather be connecting. >> reporter: jeb bush is still hanging on telling voters they push the pause button. today, he unveiled an ad featuring his father. -- brother. taking the blame for his fifth- place finish, marco rubio is admitting that his performance at saturday's debate took some wind out of his sails. the freshman senator says he is ready to move forward. >> here is the good news. we've got egg game coming up there? there is a future for us in this campaign but more important for this country. >> reporter: after crushing hillary clinton in the primary, senator bernie sanders spent the morning having practice -- breakfast with reverend al sharpton pick >> i think it's very important that he sends a signal that on the morning after a historic victory, it's the widest margin we've seen in the history of new hampshire that he would come and have breakfast with me. >> reporter: sanders and clinton will square off in what is expected to be a pivotal to -- a pivotal debate tomorrow. brian solow is back and i want to bring up the final standings and look at the final numbers in the republican race. i know we saw donald trump with the overpowering win with 35%, john kasich 16%, ted cruz 12%, jeb bush and marco rubio both with 11%. do you think it's voter's belief that they believe in donald trump or the issues that he supports? >> i think at the end of the day, we are seeing something that's really unique. you've got donald trump who is appealing to the same 20-30% of people in the republican party who are really just dissatisfied with government. ironically, bernie sanders is appealing to people who are very upset with government and that sort of thing on the democratic side. there's a lot of similarities between people on the republican and democratic side not happy with government and looking for new people. >> with that said, should the republican establishment be ready for donald trump as the nominee? should they start to prepare themselves for that? i also have to ask about john kasich because wow, second place ? where did that come from? >> with respect to donald trump, it's a long way to the end of the line.>> maybe after tuesday we can answer that?>> we will see a lot clearer after super tuesday as to donald trump. the john kasich story is very interesting. he set a record for doing town halls. he did over 100 in new hampshire. he was all in on new hampshire. he needed new hampshire where he was done and today we know carly fiorina and chris christie are out but it very well could have been john kasich. so, he's all in. he's got nothing left in the tank necessarily to move on. but he is going to try. he's putting calls out -- >> moneywise? >> yes, in terms of money and to fight in south carolina. >> is the real winner ted cruz? because of his first-place finish in iowa? >> you could make that case. he was virtually untouched. he got the job done. he is out of new hampshire, moving on but another one on the republican side may have been jeb bush. he kept himself in the game. south carolina, over the years has been very good to the bushes. if he scores very highly in south carolina, can he gains momentum? >> i saw a headline talking but democrats. it said clinton regrouping while sanders takes victory lap. does hillary clinton need to regroup now? we are hearing more and more headlines about bernie sanders trying to? africa -- the african-american vote. >> she needs to take seriously what happened. aaron sanders not only won and won big, but that had to be a message that hillary clinton is not resonating with a whole lot of people including the minority community. >> historically, that has been the clintons group. >> absolutely. so well she is still doing well, she is concerned that bernie sanders is going to cut into those numbers. young people supporting sanders , a whole spectrum of people supporting him. >> young people, minorities. name it. >> he's got some momentum. the real truth of the matter is it's always in the mouth but you can't knock anything going on with bernie sanders right now. he almost won the iowa caucus, maybe did and then wins big in new hampshire. >> does that mean clinton needs to restructure her campaign message?>> yes, you. >> how do you do that at this point? >> i think you try to find yourself to be relevant on the issues with the groups that she isn't tracking very well with. but you can't invent that. you can just come up with it and a day. i think she went back really to retool and say we are missing a lot of people here. we need to figure out how to reach those folks. >> it would be a shock if hillary clinton lost south carolina. >> yes, it would be. but bernie sanders has to go down there and maybe the shock is that he finishes very close. >> right, right. >> it's a good fight. >> oh yeah. thank you. let's send it over to mark. >> weatherwise, the dry weather pattern and the very warm one as well. if you high clouds approaching the bay area is probably the key difference over the past 24 hours. we have some high clouds moving over northern california and we have traced upper-level winds. the main stormtrac where the energy is producing the dynamics to produce rainfall release and showing up in the bay area. no significant storms in our forecast. in fact, just a few high clouds moving into the region right now from san jose to san francisco towards santa rosa and ukiah. some 60s out there with santa rosa at 700, livermore upper 60s. san jose 670, oakland 630. oakland airport of -- unofficially tied a record. is our lifetime and for the golden gate bridge showing traffic. i'm looking at these beautiful cloud formations. some nice patterns here. some mid to high level clouds showing up in the bay area. they will stick around into your thursday and friday forecast. we will have partly cloudy skies tomorrow morning and temperatures in the 40s to the lower 50s. not extremely cold out there. tomorrow, san francisco our sky cast model shows scattered high clouds. 520 at 7 am. patrol caught, still some high clouds. 660. throughout the afternoon, high clouds and temps back into the 60s. in terms of rainfall, a few light showers last week as significant rainfall so far for the month of february. extended forecast still locked in a dry weather pattern until possibly february 17. we will keep an eye on that. storms are heading north following the jet stream. this area of high pressure has been warming up a good portion of the state toward southern california. it backs off a little for thursday and friday. high clouds come showers remain out of the area and temperatures will drop a few degrees. i will bump in the numbers by the weekend. 4:00 tomorrow afternoon, partly cloudy skies same deal into friday. some scattered high clouds especially for the north they neighborhoods. temperatures tomorrow, still pretty mild showing you 60s and lower 70s. some 80s a couple days ago across parts of the bay area but tomorrow still warm. your five day forecast, this is what we don't want to see. no rain clouds and no chance of rain, just partly sunny skies. temperatures trending up by the weekend. even the rainfall next week won't be measured in inches. hopefully, things will change but still that looks pretty warm . feels like spring. its tesla's most affordable car yet and it's being unveiled in a few weeks. this $22,000 the right price to get you in the vehicle? new talks on the fight against isis at capitol hill. the president's special envoy on isis gives his take on the terrorist group just a day after the director of national intelligence warn congress that terrorists will continue to plot against the united states. catherine heritage has more on his assessment before lawmakers today. >> reporter: lawmakers aren't pleased with the obama administration's current isis strategy and making no secret of it. >> still doesn't have a strategy. the tide has not turned in terms of the growing influence of isis. >> reporter: the growth of islamic terrorist not just in numbers but two countries. lawmakers want answers. during a hearing on capitol hill, the president's special envoy to conquer isil or isis, those concerns were addressed. >> at one point, more than an hundred 30,000 fighters from countries all over the world. we acted aggressively and we are now beginning to see some results. >>reporter: but isis isn't the only terrorist groups the u.s. is focused on. the taliban is making a comeback in afghanistan specifically in helmand province where the afghan army is on the brink of collapse. in response, the u.s. is sending an infantry battalion, roughly 500 soldiers to the area. it will be the largest deployment of troops outside of major bases in afghanistan since the end of the nato combat mission in 2014. the pentagon maintains the soldiers will be retrained, we equipped and revised. the american troops in afghanistan were supposed to fall to 5500 by the end of the year but that appears to be in doubt as afghan officials advocate for larger us presence. president obama arrives in the bay area just a few hours from now for party fund-raising events. the president is scheduled to arrive at moffett field where he will spend the evening in the san jose area. tomorrow morning, he will attend a fundraiser for the democratic national convention at the home of steve wesley, the silicon valley venture capitalist. he is also scheduled to attend about a democratic fundraiser tomorrow after his bay area appearances. the president will then travel to southern california. are you in the market for a new car? tesla may have its first affordable electric car. the automaker is not going to unveil its new model 3 until next month and it's actually a platform for both a sedan and a compact suv. you on musk tweeted out that the price point will be around $35,000 -- elon musk tweeted out that the price point will be allowed to $35,000. when you add any tax incentives, with the average tax break for out-of-pocket costs of $25,000 it could be as low as $22,000. that would make the model 3, the least expensive electric car in the nation, even beating out the chevy volt. >> let's see it. it still expensive but if you're saving gas and plug it in, go for it. >> but when you're thinking as low as $25,000 compared to a tesla that cost $70,000 -- >> well that's the whole goal. bit more teslas in the driveways. >> someone who drives as much as you, maybe an electric vehicle in your future? >> i still like my big trucks but there is a possibility. when prices go back up and sunday they probably will. just don't catch fire. that's in the back of my mind. >> we will have to see what it looks like. san francisco high schoolers have had access to condoms for years but the school board is expanding -- is considering expanding the offer to middle schoolers. coming up, we talk to the vice president of the school board about the plan and how the school district is teaching students about safe sex. take a look all the way around the new red -- the red planet. in the battle of the burgers, one made a "declaration of delicious"... ...jack. he set forth, armed with artillery no one saw coming. so that everyone could taste history-making burgers. and america ate it up. true story. we're making every burger better, like the new double jack. history never tasted so good. san francisco schools are considering a controversial plan to make condoms available to middle schoolers. the school board was set to discuss the idea last night but delayed it some more parents could participate after the and lunar new year. the san francisco unified school district already makes condoms available to high school students. we are taking format string the 4 to take a look at how schools are trying to teach students about safe sex. >> with us now the vice president of the school board. thanks for being with us. okay, so middle school students, some as young as 12 years old, that's around 10,000 kids possibly getting access to condoms. tell us about this proposal. how would they get the condoms? >> the proposed policy is about making sure the very small percentage of students in our middle schools who are sexually active have the opportunity to access condoms. this access would not happen without conversations and counseling with a nurse or school social worker or with the counselor about safe sex, abstinence options but at the end of the day we just want to make sure that small percentage has an opportunity to make itself and healthy choice. >> you have an exact figure of how many middle schoolers in san francisco are having sex?>> research tells us about 5%. >> for 95% aren't having sex. i guess the question is why start changing the social norm? i'm a parent. the norm is not to have sex when you're that young but if you have a sliver of a percentage, why even start to change it? >> again, this policy does not promote sex that it's a policy that recognizes we do have a small percentage of students who are sexually active. i had children at 16 and 17 and if i was aware of a policy or opportunity to maybe be safe and healthy, i may not have had children so early. again, we are talking about a small percentage of students, counseling with nurses and social workers and cancel workers with experience in these conversations but we need to make sure if our students are sexually active, they have an opportunity to be safe. >> and you think it's the school's responsibility to do that? to educate them about when it's okay to have sex? and not parents at home? >> i definitely don't think the parents at home shouldn't be engaging in conversations with their children about sexual activity and being healthy. in fact, it is the parents job but what we're saying is we recognize it's happening at the middle school level and we want our students to be healthy and safe. >> and there's currently a policy in place for high schoolers? how do the two policies differ? can parents opt out and say thanks but no thanks? i will deal with my child on my own? >> we already do have formal policies and high school. that would differ because in high school, there's not always that conversation with a nurse or a social worker. we can't allow parents to opt out because of state law. there is family code 625 that states we can't deny confidentially access to condoms and contraceptives to our students. so we aren't creating those laws about the conversation you may want to have with state legislators but at the end of the day, we just want our children to be healthy and safe. >> i'm trying to picture this conversation. for example, 12-year-old johnny talks to a social worker and says i think i'm ready for sex and he or she asks johnny questions and says i think you are ready, here is a condom and off he goes?>> i definitely don't want to play make- believe. >> that's a conversation you are going to have the right? >> again, not a conversation i would happily professional who is trained to have these conversations with young people about sexual activity, abstinence and being healthy. that is a trained social worker, nurse or counselor. we train -- we have trained people who get paid to do this. >> the national media has picked up on the story. is there something in particular, an incident last year or the year before that brought this up for discussion? has that small percentage increased? our eighth graders getting pregnant? >> i haven't heard anything about an increase. i would bet my life there's an eighth-grader pregnant somewhere. we want to make sure we avoid >> into san francisco? >> again, i'm not sure but i would bet somewhere. the bottom line is this. we want to make sure our students, the small percentage that are sexually active have the opportunity to be safe and healthy. >> let's look at the bigger picture. what other sorts of sexual education goes on within the district? other classes? what else happens besides this condom policy? >> right now at the middle school level, we don't have any formal policy around access to condoms but we do have sexual and health education classes in all of our middle schools. >> everyone is required? >> they are required. these conversations are being have with our middle school students right now. >> in case but the reaction so far from parents at home. email filtering in. is a 50-50? to some parents say great thanks looking out for my son or daughter or are you getting more what are you thinking? >> i have conversations from both sides. we have some parents that say we are thankful that just in case if my child may be sexually active at that age that they're going to have the opportunity to talk to an adult that may have knowledge about how to be safe and healthy but definitely getting emails and having conversations with parents who are not happy but i think part of that is in terms of misinformation that gets out and the fact that people may be saying we are promoting condoms , that we are promoting sexual activity, which is not the case. we're just saying that if a child who may be sexually active, the small percentage, comes in and wants to be healthy and safe, they are going to get the right advice, have the right conversations with the right professionals so they can be protected and safe.>> what's the next step? when will the meeting vote happened? >> we had a meeting last night. a full board meeting. the table this conversation until we have more community engagement and more conversations with families. we don't have an exact date of when that what will happen. it could be as early as two weeks or later.>> if it's passed, will that policy go into effect this school year or next? >> the district team will work on that strategy. i don't have an exact answer in terms of the date that it will be happening once the policy passes. >> will it need a unanimous vote?>> 4 to 3. >> it's an interesting proposal. i appreciate you coming in and giving us that story. >> thanks for having me. start coming up, it's been two months since the san bernardino mass shooting that killed 14 people that law enforcement is still trying to access a key piece of information. the roadblock in the information -- investigation. the record-setting heat is coming to an and a little. clouds paying the bay area visit right now. a look at the long range maps. we could be talking about some rain showers next week. and a quick peek outside. not bad southbound as usual. a slow start north. time now for our app of the week. while there are lots of fitness apps out there, there are few available specifically designed for teenagers and children. today, we learn about kurbo, meant to coach children and teens into healthy exercise and eating habits. the cofounder is here with us. you have some extensive research that you've done on childhood obesity over at stanford. what was your vision and inspiration?>> it actually started with a phone call. my cofounder and ceo of kurbo reached out to me about three years ago and she was really struggling with her son who is having issues with weight and ask for some advice. i was the lead behavior coach at stanford in the childhood obesity program. we talked a lot about the different modification behavior tools that she could do with her son and what she realized was that there are not a lot of resources available online and that was frustrating to her. we spent time trying to figure out if there was an opportunity to bring these great behavior modification tools to a larger population. >> and you guys described this as a virtual version of an expensive hospital weight program. how does kurbo work and what makes it different?>> it's definitely geared specifically for kids and teens but it consists of two components. we have the app for kids to track their food and behavior and exercise behaviors. and then we have this coaching aspect as well. that's really important part of kurbo. kids talk to a coach once a week over facetime or skype. in addition to using the app, have somebody other than my parents talking to them and motivating them to make these healthy changes. >> how do you balance the healthy eating, exercise and maybe going over the line like a competition or maybe children are becoming obsessive? >> such a good question. we feel very strongly that if you give the kids the tools and the things they need to make healthy choices and empower them, they have an information to make good decisions. i think we run into issues when kids don't know what to do. this gives them the proper tools to do it in a balanced way. >> can be seen of her children. i imagine games are involved? >> our whole goal is to make it simple, fun and easy. we have adults using it. it's a different look at food and exercise. all the foods are classified as radial and greenwich simplifies the whole message. >> like red is stop? >> kind of like that. there are foods we want to eat a lot of. fruits and vegetables. yellow foods we want to take a look at and read light foods are those foods that maybe we need to eat fewer, reduce those on occasion. >> moderation. >> kurbo is available on android and apple. anywhere between $50 and $80 a month. other success stories that this is worth the investment?>> we have fantastic success stories. we encourage everybody to take a look. collis and talk to us if you are concerned about this. we know it can be a sensitive issue. we have tremendous resources in- house and we want to be able to help families across the country who need this. >> cofounder of kurbo. thank you. the titans of mavericks surf contest set for friday. the first mavericks surf contest was held in 1999 after decades of elite surfers taking to the spot off the coast near half moon bay. server jeff clark eventually convinced fellow surfers to do the same. we dug into the ktvu archives and found this video from back then. -- lee won the invitational that year and he became the only three-time winner. >> in the contest highlights how talented the locals are from pacifica to santa cruz. they know that break so well.>> they open up the invitation across the world. several changes as we know over the years. it used to be a tradition for spectators to line the beach on class to watch the contest but during 2010, the sneaker wave took out part of the crowd and 12 or injured. that prompted organizers and local law enforcement to ban spectators from watching along the shore. the viewing was moved further back onshore to other bars and restaurants. >> they always want people to stay away. hip was never really a concern until that finally happened. you see how traumatic that was and that changed all the rules in the organizers putting on the contest. >> last time we had mavericks, january 24, 2014. this is a look at some of the for surf from that day. tweedy baker won that year. no mavericks last year because the conditions never turned out like they needed. >> tweedy baker won the year i was watching from a boat. i came in second. i was on a media about an unrealistic to be flat for several minutes and then all of a sudden you get a big monster forming.>> it would be interesting because we always have our helicopter, sky fox overhead and you can tell how big it is so it's just being on board. >> when those ways are coming in and i thought, i felt like i was a celebrity for the first time.>> all right, what's going on? the weather conditions for friday, everything is lining up nicely, just a few nice clouds paying us a visit. the major wind event but it has been breezy
