>> happening right now, police in gilroy are looking for this 14 year-old boy. they say neo noga ceqa has been missing since friday and was last seen at broughton l junior high school at a school dance. police say that he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, doc martens and a black mask. he has brown hair gray eyes and is 5 foot. 2 weighs about 100 pounds. they say he's known to go to parks throughout gilroy. if you see him contact police now to the south bay where google's plans for mega campus in downtown san jose is now facing some obstacles that are forcing the company to reassess the entire project at stake, though, 25,000 bs as well as 155 million dollars for the city kron four's will tran explains. >> 2 years ago, google and t city of san jose. they were talking about campus near this location that snp and across the street from the station. well, 2 years have gone by and

now it does not look good for the city of san jose because google is pausing all future developments in san jose for the foreseeable future. >> the renderings well and offered all kinds of spaces. we're talking 4,000 living units, retail shops. >> 25,000 workers not to mention all the money that that would bring him. plus once they get all the google employees into the offices that will bring in another 155 million dollars in community funds to downtown san jose. for them to work with whatever needs that they have. but the trend is going the opposite direction. and the reason why is google recently said that they would announce a layoff of 6% of theieihaworkforce. that's 12,00 of ers across the glo that 12,000. we're talking 1200 right here in the bay area loand it looks like google is trying to get out of some their obligations on offices

across the globe. they are seeing that more and more op people are working from home so they might not need. although those office spaces as far as the mega campus, there was no hard deadline on when they would start or when they will finish. but all the signs point to it probably will not happen for the foreseeable future. >> ryan, mardi gras festivities are underway in new orleans. elaborate parades will travel down saint charles avenue ending with a wild party throughout the french quarter. there are some concerns about me occurring violence as one person was killed, 4 others wounded during a shooting on sunday night during a parade. the orpheus parade was delayed about an hour after a float caught on fire. you can see the smoke parade goers posted video showing the floats stalling and the smoke coming out. but the issue was dealt with them party on wheels continue. there are a couple

hold on... you're a night manager and mom, and the bill payer, baker, and nightlight maker? that's a lot. so, adding “and student” might feel daunting. but what if a school could be there for all of you? career, family, finances and mental health. -happy birthday! -happy birthday buddy. well, it can. national university. supporting the whole you.

representative barbara lee has entered the race for the seat being vacated by state sen sorry, senator dianne feinstein. we made this announcement this morning. joining us now to discuss what this means for the 2 other candidates that have already thrown their hat in the ring us. our political expert, michael yaki. michael, thank you for joining us. thank you, justin. all right. so senator dianne feinstein has said officially she is retiring the past couple times. we've talked that wasn't official yet. and names are being thrown out there who want replace or she's officially

not taking it. so i don't feel as talking about who's going to replace sir. but we already have katie porter and we have adam schiff. they both officially announced and now we have senator u.s. congresswoman barbara lee, who wants to be senator. so of those 3, are there going to be more people putting their name in the ring and how to each of them stand apart to you and who could, you know, pull ahead. a lot of questions. >> thank you. i love multiple multiple lot of the mobile park question. so i think the answer's going to be yes, there probably will be more people. there certainly are at least a few others. we know roe conn up in the south bay of congress and there's been thinking about running. we know that the possibility of maybe the lieutenant governor later caucuses thinking of running as well. but certainly with barbara lee centers in the rate was circle, not well-kept secret. she basic. gone ahead and and told a lot of our colleagues, especially in the congressional black caucus, but she was going to be running. this is a seat that for a lot of folks in the

black community in california who thought they had lost an opportunity and lost the sequin kamala harris and moved on to the vice presidency. they think this is a seat that they want back and bar really is going to be the person is going to try bring it back for that. now that being said it's going to be it's going to be a tough race with one with one little caveat. california is a top to stay. so the top 2 finishers if their vote democrat, can make it to the general? and i think barbara lee's look at this as being trying to squeak into that number 2 position, the which one i think either katie porter friendship probably has the will have a large advantages in terms of money, joseph and raising in terms of media bar really is going to work on and basically had doesn't have the kind of history he still could. but i think a lot of is going to be about getting turnout and field operations out there to turn people out to get her into the top 2.

>> i interviewed adam schiff right after he made his announcement. he had said senator dianne feinstein endorsed him as much as she could because she hadn't officially announced that she wasn't running yet, but he sort gave her. gave him her blessing. and nancy pelosi has also sort of given the not that she would encourage endorse adam schiff. so it seems like congress and barbara lee has a little bit of ground to make up because shift and also katie porter do have more national names for themselves. they've been kind of fighting against donald trump on the national stage for a little while. >> yeah, it certainly barbara lee about i would say 10, 15 years ago, maybe 20 years ago it was a national name. she let the opposition now to the to the second gulf war, the lone congressional vote against it. she is someone who a lot of progresses have have really admired for quite some time for speaking her mind and staying true to her beliefs. the question is how does that rank up say against katie porter, who's pushing against that same kind of more left

progressive agenda. and then adam schiff whose basically hearing more today i went moderate. his mother is always a weird thing say, but he's more of a traditional liberal, but nevertheless has made it made quite a name for himself. as you accurately pointed out during me, trump, trump administration and having the support the explicit support. now, former speaker nancy pelosi. i get her has explicitly endorsing yet certain that that statement that you put out. but having those 2 behind him, it's really going to help him in terms of money recognition. and certainly in terms of sort of what california is looked to as a as gde to how they should be voting because it's important senate seat that they don't want to lose. on the other hand. the amount of money that's going to be put in this race in st. louis is a national detriment to the democratic party and the fact they're 23 other seats. but they need to defend. and

california is really see if they need to defend. so all the money pouring in here is money that could be going to montana could be going to arizona could be going to other states where the democrats need resources to be to compete against the republicans in 2024. is going to take a ton of money for each of these candidates. >> to have to raise and spend on their campaigns in order to win the seat. i want to leave it there because we have some significant weather happening across the bay area. we're going to spend a little more time talking about that. but michael the wind blowing. you can feel but we thanks, michael. all right. so here's a live look outside right now at the embarcadero in san francisco where the winds have picked up that palm tree. an indication that ferry boat also an indication of what it's like out there right now. kyla grogan here now. and this is just the start of this winter weather that's returning to the bay area this week. yes, no doubt about it. it is for every mother. nature is on board with the winter thing and we're getting the

party started today with those both being tossed around or something >> here's a live look at it from the east bay. and you can see we have, you know, some sunshine out there, too. and it looks kind of peaceful from here because you can't see all of the wind that is blowing now tonight, it is going to be chilly and we're going to see temperatures inland get down into potentially the upper 20's, low 30's, but it won't be quite as widespread as what we'll see tomorrow night when we do have this happening, which is that we have a freeze watch and we also have a frost advisory. so the freeze watch, you can see pretty much all of our inland areas and then the frost advisory along the coast and around the bay. so frost advisory, meaning we get down to about 32 to 34 degrees freeze warning, meaning we get below freezing in many areas. so it is a dangerous cold that will be out there tomorrow night. it would surprise me if we see more of a those watches and warnings going up for the following day also week have one of my cameras just decided to take a vacation. but we have temperatures here that are getting cooler as we get into our evening at this time of day, we're usually looking at the heat of the day, right? but right now we're at 55 in

san jose. we were warmer than that about 2 hours ago. 48 right now in san francisco, you can see 54 nevado 49 at a point race where they're seeing an awful lot of wind right now. that's an indication of the cool air that is rushing in with this low pressure system as it tracks down so well tonight will be gusty and windy and start to see some of that cold roll in tomorrow. we're going to start to see some of the showers pop up from this along the coast and then the work their way inland. and then behind this. and while this is tracking it, lots of cold air funneling in behind it. so let me show you futurecast how this plays out. notice as we get into the overnight tonight, most of the staying offshore, but a few cells could certainly bring a shower or 2. going to take you into wednesday evening. so it's kind of hit or miss throughout wednesday. but by the time we get into thursday, this is thursday afternoon. notice more widespread showers rolling in that very heavy in the overnight thursday into friday. all of this cold air could mean we have some snow on our peaks in the north bay and the east bay and certainly in spots like the santa lucia

how much rain we're going to get? well, it's not going to be a whole lot at first. you can see just a little bit there wednesday night, a little bit more as we get into thursday with that overnight thursday into friday. that's when the big totals are going to be coming. so as we look at temperatures also set to drop santa rosa as an example. you know, tomorrow will be looking at 50 then just 40's before we see some recovery as we get into the weekend. these are the current winds we're looking at right now. and again, you can see oakland right now, 37 miles per hour. 39 in san francisco. there's your extended forecast. it is a busy one. a little bit of a break as we head towards the weekend. back the cold. one. thanks. kyla. >> still ahead here, 3, the supreme court begins hearing arguments in 2 cases that could change the internet as we know its details on the potential reshaping a free speech online. but first, why the cost of food in america is sky high.

correspondent eytan wallace gives us a look at the proposals and shares what lawmakers says needs to happen to cut the red tape. well, keep in mind, the state has spent billions of dollars to address homelessness and members i spoke with here says the spending continues. they want to see accountability and t results and they hope to achieve that with new pieces of legislation. >> homelessness numbers from both parties at the state capitol agree it's one of the issues, if not the issue. top of mind across california really want to put forward real solutions to homelessness, things that are actually going to solve the issue, not band-aid solutions. that's exactly what assembly member of people are. szabo says she wants to accomplish with 3 bill. she just introduced among them a proposal to remove cost barriers are fees for people experiencing homelessness specifically when they apply for state issued id ease. >> and other records or documents people need id's just to get a job to get housing, to get social services. you the id is such a critical piece of what you need to be able to get on your

feet and get stabilized. >> and house and another bill from szabo aims to simplify the process for builders. applying for state funds for low-income and homeless related construction projects. right now, there are 4 different agencies at the statewide level that you have to apply for to get funding to build either homeless or low-income housing and they have different deadlines. and then if you miss a deadline, you'll have to wait until the next year to be able to apply. and that means the cost of labor goes up. the cost of building materials goes up. and if taxpayers are funding those projects, that means the taxpayers are eating so we really want to streamline that process. we can get this housing online as as as fast as people really need it. the 3rd proposal from szabo calls for cities and counties to share their plans to address homelessness. something that goes hand-in-hand with the bill from assembly member lose a grievous. if signed, the release proposal would require local government to use state funds for homeless related matters to publicly share their goals. if the goals are not met, the funds could be transferred to other local governments where they're

seeing success over the last few years. california invested. >> of nearly 10 billion dollars on homelessness. but a lot of our constituents still see, you know, homeless encampments. they see. you know, not enough permanent housing being built. and so they want to know what is the state getting for the money that it's investing. >> and we, of course, will track these bills. the first approval from various committees over the coming months and only with that approval can make it to the floor for a vote reporting from the state capitol. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> we'll talk about our windy weather now with this live look outside from our camera on top of mount tam, even there we see a little bit of shaking meteorologist kyla grogan here now with details. what's happening here in the bay area and also across the country. winter is back. yeah, no doubt. back with a vengeance is you can see as we take a look at the country in total, it is a very busy pattern. you can see this wintry weather extending all the way from the west coast right into the midwest. even some of the great lakes getting a little lake effect snow there. so it is all kind

of originating from the west coast where this cold air has been rolling in as this next system starts to make its push across the country. you see some of that cold air there in reno where they're at 38 degrees. but bakersfield sittin 70 right now. so a real contrast between where the cold air is and where it is headed towards. this is a look at lake tahoe. we're looking at times peak where you cannot see any of the usually you can see the sunset kind of happening here. temperatures about a drop of seeing some snow showers there already happening tonight. just a little bit of snow. but then as we get into wednesday and thursday, you see those highs just in the 20's. that's a really good to get that snow falling. now. notice all of these warnings and advisories not just for tahoe, but you can see to the north of us to the south of us in the santa cruz mountains and also the santa lucia mountains. also looking out for some snow. so i mentioned tonight, just a few inches. that's what that advisory is for. but then all the area that you see in red that is for the bigger system coming in as we get the latter part of the weekend, you can see above 7,000 feet were expecting 3 to 5 feet of snow.

it's going to be a lot. and if we look at future snow, just focusing on tahoe. but i wanted to show you what the models are showing here is that many of the peaks in california could be picking up a dusting of snowfall. so, yes, it's possible that we see that in some spots. you really haven't seen it all season as snow levels lower to about 1500 feet. as i mentioned, santa lucia mountains, where the places we're expecting some snow, but, you know, around the bay area, north bay, east bay, we could see some snow dusted peaks that you haven't seen for a while. so keep your eye on the weather. it's going to be an interesting week. back to you know, kim, thanks. kyle will turn out to the latest on the ohio town affected by that toxic train explosion from earlier this month. >> the head of the epa along with the state's governor where there today for the opening of a health clinic in the town of east palestine, where the derailment leaks, toxic chemicals into the air. the clinic will be staffed by medical teams from the cdc and the u.s. department of health. meantime, the environmental protection agency is cracking down on the rail company responsible for this toxic
