i'm karen. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. i really like the flexibility. and for me, it's one less thing to think about while traveling. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva.

serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is calling for a quicker supply of tanks and air defense units from the

government as it deals with this crisis. at least four children also killed. they died as the helicopter came down at around 8:20 a.m. local time, spreading debris over this kindergarten just as parents were dropping kids off at school. the investigation into the crash is being led by the state security agency of ukraine, the country's domestic security agency. they say they are not ruling out any possibilities, including pilot error, some kind of technical malfunction on board, or the possibility that this helicopter was deliberately targeted. raf sanchez, nbc news, ukraine. soldiers who have lost limbs fighting in ukraine are getting help from the u.s. specialists at a lab in maryland are volunteering to create the prosthetics and teach soldiers how to use them. it's cutting-edge medical technology the soldiers cannot get in ukraine. >> they come in on a wheelchair

we'll finish at least 102% of normal, which is phenomenal. how about the wettest season ever? not quite there yet. the wettest season, 1983. 43.75 inches. 1998 coming in at 42.17. we still have february and march to go, which can be huge banner months for us. there are some increasing signs that we would get more active weather certainly for february. we'll continue to tally this up and track it for you. already our entire season rainfall now in san francisco. so putting damage aside, good stuff at least on that front. otherwise, storm ranger and mobile doppler radar, areas of light to moderate rain developing. nothing too heavy. moving off to the south with showers in petaluma by 6:26 tonight. we do expect it to pick up around 7:00 with some heavier downpours in the north bay. it's going to move quickly to the peninsula and east bay by 9:00 p.m. gets down to the south bay at 11:00 at night. and then it does clear out after

it's going to push that storm track off to the north, so high pressure bringing it in with dry weather. cold mornings. in san francisco, we have that sunshine through the next seven days. daytime highs in the 50s. morning lows upper 30s and low to mid-40s. inland valleys, below freezing saturday morning. so find those heavier blankets. i'm sure they've been out but you might need two or three if you're saving on heating because we're going colder as we hit the weekend forecast. >> frosty, my lawn was frosted over this morning. brr. >> extra blankets. thanks, jeff. bumpy ride at new york's jfk airport. two jet blue planes bumped into each other before taking off.
