the decision. >> we welcome you to the city of oakland. a plan to redevelop the site of the concord naval weapons station clears a significant hurdle, but more work is necessary before any shovels hit the ground. a popular cafe in fremont quickly reopens after being hit by burglars one day earlier, now it may be attracting even more customers than before. good morning, it is saturday, march 23rd, i am kelsi thorud, we begin in oakland where the city is getting a permanent police chief for the first time in more than a year. floyd mitchell will be tasked with leading opd , he comes to the bay area from lubbock, texas where he was the police chief for four years the mayor revealed her pick in a video statement on friday. >> chief mitchell is a strong leader and smart crimefighter who delivers results.

>> da lin has reaction to the announcement . >> reporter: the mayor said chief mitchell will start in late april and early may, a lot of people i talked to support him but say he will face a lot of challenges. the owner and chef of snail bar just wants to focus on making great food, but lately, he has had safety meetings with staff. >> it is very frustrating because we are living in this lawless city. >> reporter: he said last week, two men held up a worker with a knife, when the robbers couldn't find any money in the restaurant, they took the workers wallet, phone and backpack. back in january, two thieves broke in and cost them thousands of dollars. >> it is a crisis and we are

all suffering from it and it trickles down like a domino effect. >> reporter: mayor sheng thao believes chief mitchell will lead the department out of federal oversight. >> he is very smart on crime fighting but most importantly, he can deliver results. >> reporter: chief mitchell worked at the kansas city police department for more than 25 years and more recently served as a chief in texas. >> when he was the chief of both of those cities, we saw that under his leadership that overall crime did decrease and police response times did improve. >> reporter: pamela has been following oakland politics for more than four decades. >> i am glad this time it is an outsider, previously i would have said like most people, let's pick somebody homegrown but, it has shown that it is really tough to be a chief of people that you were comrades with for so long.

>> reporter: while bishop bob jackson was hoping for an internal hire, he welcomes and is ready to support the new chief. >> not knowing the city, not knowing the culture or the community or politicians, this guy is in for a big shock. >> reporter: supporters say they hope this is a turning point for oakland. >> at this point all we can do is be optimistic. >> reporter: the chief will answer questions next week, he said one of the first things he wants to do is meet with community members before coming up with crime-fighting strategies. >> the oakland police officers association had this response, saying we are pleased that the uncertainty has been resolved. our diligent police officers eagerly anticipate collaborating with mitchell. and former police chief armstrong who is fighting to get his job back said this, this is my hometown. i want

everyone to be safe and will do everything in my power as a private citizen to assist in the goal. we have more reaction to the appointment of the new oakland police chief on kpix .com. saturday morning, we are about halfway through the first alert that we've got issued which is going to go through tomorrow and sunday. this is the forecast put out by the storm prediction center, everywhere shaded in light green falls under about a 10% to 20% chance for an isolated thunderstorms today. there's not a lot of action in the morning, but you are going to see the picture change. in regards to today, take a look at 7:00 tonight, now we see more of a widespread area. the first alert status for saturday is for this evening. we have the possibility of thunderstorms but we are not

done, there is more on sunday and we need to talk about snow in the sierra. governor gavin newsom is expanding emergency storm declarations throughout the state as many counties are still recovering from last month's severe weather. 11 additional counties were declared under a state of emergency including alameda, monterey, san francisco, santa cruz and sonoma. the governor requested the white house declare several other counties a presidential major disaster. city officials have approved a $6 billion plan to redevelop the former naval weapons station, the concept would include more than 12,000 homes, 6 million square feet of commercial space and almost 900 acres of green space. the naval weapons station site is just off willow pass road, concord has been trying to develop the

land for years. the city has already cut ties with two previous as -- developers. this is far from a done deal, brookfield properties has up to four years to finish a logistical checklist, the navy is still responsible for cleaning up toxic chemicals that leaked into the ground and even then the project will be built in five phases spread over 40 years. new complaints are emerging about the effort to build a new city in solano county. the group of investors called forever california wants to build on what is now mostly farmland. voters would need to allow them to bypass protections that prevent agricultural land from being turned into urban space. the county has received multiple complaints about deceptive tactics from petition gatherers seeking to put the issue on the ballot. in a statement, the mayor of fairfield said, residents have contacted me about the petitioners harassing them and lying about the

petition. these petitioners regularly stand outside grocery and retail stores and are generally paid for each signature collected. we reached out to forever california but have not heard back. a popular cafe in fremont was back to serving customers on friday after being burglarized the day before. skillets cafe on niles boulevard, people tell us they have lines that spill out onto the street. the family that owns it have a great relationship with customers. they said, they took everything we worked so hard for, we all work seven days a week, doubles, and they took it all. please help us find who did it. the restaurant posted that they are open and asked for support, so we stopped by and found it bustling. >> i found out this morning that they got broken into and

robbed yesterday and it breaks my heart because there's too much of that going around. people need to stop, please, this is a family-owned restaurant, just the best people ever. >> some folks told us they were already regulars but now they will be coming even more often. friday was the start of the restaurant week, nearly 50 restaurants, bistros and coffee shops are taking part. the event runs through the end of the month. berkeley's restaurant week also started on friday. coming up, lata keeps flowing from volcanic eruptions in iceland and toxic gases are drifting thousands of miles into parts of northern europe. and here is a look outside before we head to the break, we will be

business. it's not a nine-to-five proposition. it's all day and into the night. it's all the things that keep this world turning. the go-tos that keep us going. the places we cheer. and check in. they all choose the advanced network solutions and round the clock partnership from comcast business. see why comcast business powers more small businesses than anyone else. get started for $49.99 a month plus ask how to get up to an $800 prepaid card. don't wait- call today.

welcome back, the time is 7:11. in iceland, the effects of recent volcanic eruptions have rippled beyond the peninsula and now they are spilling into the tourism scene across northern europe. the country's southern peninsula recently had its fourth volcanic eruption since december. the eruption is stable but sulfur dioxide which can be deadly in big doses and smells really bad could drift as far as russia. the toxic

gases have already reached ireland and the uk, they are expected to cross scandinavia before heading into northwest russia. the main concern for today, and the reason why we have red alert status for saturday and sunday, is because there is a chance for isolated thunderstorms as we get into the later hours today. maybe there is an isolated shower or two in the morning, but noon, they start to increase in number, you will get breaks of blue skies today, however, when we get to the evening, watch what happens, 7:00 and 8:00, there is a second impulse to this system that comes with more widespread showers, this is where we have the potential to see an isolated thunderstorms. we get closer to the center of the storm so you get a little more energy, that is a well organized line. early sunday, we are still looking at

these. notice, there's still plenty of breaks, isolated showers, and once we get past about 1:00 in the afternoon on sunday, it comes to an end. we will start clearing out. if we add it up, just through today, this is the total through tonight at 11:30, look at the totals, we already got about an inch of rain in the santa clara valley, a lot of that came through with friday night stuff, but this is still the accumulation taking today's rain into account. and sunday, the totals will go up a little bit more, that will cover the aspect of rain here and the primary concern being the thunderstorms. brief downpours throughout the day. on the other side of the state, look what is about to happen over here, a couple things we need to discuss about the sierra, it is a weekend obviously, there's going to be more travel of people trying to get into the mountains, and this is a storm that will be quite impactful. the weather

prediction center this winter has started visualizing messaging in terms of impact, they call it the winter storm severity index which sounds more dramatic than it needs to be, but take a look at the coloring. primarily it is red. there's 80 and 50, they are both going through patches of red. on the scale, it is taking into account saturday and sunday, from friday night through sunday, and they have categorized it as major which is fairly high on the scale. but, hazardous driving through the mountains this weekend and road closures may be needed. chains will certainly be needed if anyone is getting over the mountains. how much snow falls in addition to last night, it keeps going through the remainder of today and the remainder of tomorrow. in total, we are looking at perhaps two feet of snow coming to the sierra nevada from that system. impactful storm for

sure, and when we put it in the forecast, we see a scenario that keeps not only the showers going through today and tomorrow but take a look back towards wednesday and thursday. there is another system coming our way. two separate systems . the first one will get here on wednesday and there is another one that comes on friday. there's going to be a lot more to discuss for those as we get closer to it. the take away for now, we are not done with winter and things are going to be a bit active for the next week and a half. coming up, you could say march madness brackets are bound to be busted, we look at the upsets on the second day of the tournament. it might be march but the warriors were in action trying to fend off the rest of the west with playoffs approaching. plus, the madness has begun and the folks in moraga were certainly hoping to celebrate on friday night, but grand canyon university had something to say about it.

also, try our allergy headache and nighttime pills. they aren't necessarily the most known program, but they have been successful over the last few years, and they came ready to play friday night trying to win a first round game in a third straight season. low-scoring first half, over to mitchell saxon, they are up 21-20. but, they came out on fire for the second half, he throws down the alley-oop, putting grand canyon up. and on the other end, they are up by 13 after the dunk. the deficit is cut to five.

they are excited and four to go, harrison hits the tough jumper, pushing the lead to eight. grand canyon goes up, it is the first ever tournament win for gcu. >> i'm proud of this team, we had a great season, proud of the kids hanging together and accomplishing what they did and although i don't think we played very well tonight, but it doesn't diminish what they did for the overall year. so, grand canyon, good program, they played well enough to win. we did not. >> crunch time, that is what it is for the warriors, they have to focus on the 10 seed so they make the playoffs, houston is

just two games back as they hosted indiana at chase center friday night. they were exactly 500 when playing at home this season, first quarter, golden state showing off the ball movement, jonathan kuminga cannot finish, but he knocks down the three in the corner, love that. second quarter, they are up four. klay thompson hits from deep. how about that, the dubs lead at the half but the pacers would end the quarter on a 25-12 run, and the warriors have lost five of their last eight. stanford beginning their tournament run at maples pavilion. 17 points, 15 boards,

six blocks, then it is the other half of the cardinals one-two punch, scoring inside, she matched brink with 17, stanford beat the spartan, cardinal gets seven seed iowa state in the second round on sunday. that is going to do it for sports, have a great day. we are two days into march madness, lots of great games and surprises came out of yesterday's matchups, and if your bracket is busted, don't sweat it, it's the same for everyone else. the ncaa, cbs and even yahoo say there are zero perfect brackets remaining, a lot of madness so far in the first round of the tournament, the bulldogs handed the fourth seed, auburn tigers a big upset, that marks the ivy league's second win ever in the ncaa tournament and earlier in the day, the 10th seed, colorado buffaloes knocked off

the seven seed florida gators with one second on the final clock, a clutch race line jumper to stamp the buffaloes to get to the second round. that is why it is called march madness. 10 former players are on a mission to make disability benefits accessible, last year, those 10 retirees filed a class action lawsuit, claiming the league routinely denied injury claims, leaving many retired players without much-needed benefits. on thursday, a federal judge ruled that a portion of the lawsuit can go to trial. the judge dismissed claims against individual defendants like nfl commissioner, roger goodell but is allowing claims against the league's disability board to

move forward. coming up, the senate stays in session late into the night and passes legislation to avert a government shutdown. but, an earlier approval in the house may put the speakers job in jeopardy. and reaction flows from within the uk and around the world, after kate middleton, the princess of wales says she has cancer and is currently in treatment. here is a look outside in san jose, and here is your cbs deals. my skin has never felt better or my makeup has never gone on smoother after having had microdermabrasion at the dermatologist's office. this amazing treatment reveals your smoothest skin underneath by polishing off those dead skin cells and extracting from your pores. but it can be so expensive. that is why i'm so thankful for dr. lanser, a dermatologist to the stars for over 40 years, he gets the celebrities red carpet ready.

legislation. it is keeping the border open. >> there were objections of the far right, it cost kevin mccarthy his job and history may be about to repeat itself with the current house speaker, mike johnson. marjorie taylor greene filed a motion to vacate the speaker's chair. >> it is time for us to go through the process and take our time and find a new speaker of the house that will stand with republicans and our republican majority instead of standing with the district. >> johnson said, he is not concerned. >> we have to do our job, we are doing it day by day. >> reporter: house members are going on a two-week recess which could give him time to convince marjorie taylor greene to withdraw the motion. we are halfway through the first alert we've got issued, which goes through tomorrow and

>> reporter: she did not mention the type of cancer, neither did king charles when he announced his diagnosis last month. they are sad and upset about the revelation. >> obviously she's going to have the best treatment but absolutely, you never want to hear somebody has cancer, such a young family. >> reporter: the reaction was similar in new york city. >> i feel a lot of sympathy for the family, and anybody going through a similar situation. >> reporter: the last royal function was on christmas. now to a developing story, the terror attack in moscow, the number of people confirmed dead after last night's mass shooting at a sold-out concert hall is now 133. isis has claimed responsibility for the massacre, it began around 8:00

welcome to jack in the box! rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective

in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. i chose arexvy. rsv? make it arexvy. well, a bay area scientist may have help for an animal species threatened by climate change in this morning's project earth, elizabeth cook explains the threat to arctic foxes and the help coming in.

dominated world, she explains how human activity and climate change are challenging the survival of many species around the world. >> extinction happens in a heartbeat and evolution takes a very long time. so, it is easier to kill something than it is to allow it to persist. so, biodiversity is threatened in many ways by humanity and the arctic fox is exemplifying those threats. >> reporter: back in the arctic, norwegian scientists have set up more than 30 feeding stations across the wilderness, they believe without this food, the arctic fox would go extinct. >> if we stop the feeding now, we would see a decrease in the population sizes and that would be really detrimental. >> reporter: the international union for the conservation of nature reported how over 44,000 species are threatened with extinction. dr. headley believes we have a moral responsibility to consider what we could do to stem the loss. >> it requires major activities on the part of humanity, not just a single person, but it requires major, major action

where we have the potential to see an isolated thunderstorm. we get closer to the center of the storm. so you get a little more energy, that is a well organized line. as we look ahead to very early sunday, we are still looking at these. but notice, there's still plenty of breaks, isolated showers, and once we get past about 1:00 in the afternoon on sunday, it comes to an end and we start clearing out. if we add it all up, just through today, this is the total through tonight, at 11:30, look at the totals, already about one inch of rain, a lot of that came through with the friday night stuff. this is still the accumulation taking today's rain into account, when we add sunday, the totals go up a little bit more. that covers the aspect of rain and the primary concern being the thunderstorms. meanwhile, on the other side of the state, look what is about to happen

over here, a couple things we need to discuss about the sierra. it is going to be more travel for people who are trying to get into the mountains or over them, and we have a storm that will be quite impactful. here is another way to message this. the weather prediction center has started visualizing messaging in terms of impact, they call it the winter storm severity index which sounds dramatic. but, the devil is in the details, take a look at the coloring. primarily it is the color red. both are going through patches of red. on the scale, this takes into account saturday and sunday, from friday night through sunday and they have categorized it as major which is fairly high on the scale. but, reading the details, hazardous driving through the mountains and road closures may be needed. chains will

certainly be needed. here is another way of looking at this, how much snow falls in addition to what we have already seen come through last night, it keeps going through the remainder of today and into tomorrow, we are looking at perhaps two feet of snow coming to the sierra nevada from that system. so, impactful storm for sure, and when we put it in the forecast, we see a scenario that keeps not only the showers going through today and tomorrow but, take a look towards wednesday and thursday, there is another system coming our way. in fact, two separate systems. the first one will get here on wednesday and another one that comes on friday. there's going to be a lot more to discuss as we get closer to it but the take away for now, we are not done with winter and things are going to be active around here for probably the next week and a half. more than three quarters of adults aged 50 and up say they want to stay in their homes as they get older. a san francisco woman has spent many years helping people age in place
