ways, a wait and see. will there be casualties, how much of an impact is there on the ground, that will then determine the israeli response. the united states is really trying to keep israel from the escalation risk that could happen here. really trying to keep them from making this into a wider regional war. >> and, of course of , that is the president has been talking about with his national security advisers at the white house. natalie, the president convened his entire national security team, he came back early from delaware. what are they doing tonight? >> reporter: we're talking the top administration officials from the defense secretary, secretary of state, cia director, national security adviser, met in the situation room with the president as this began unfolding. he tweeted this message a short time ago, and re-emphasizing the

message that u.s. commitment to israel security against threats from iran and its proxy is ironclad, as he told you yesterday. that is a messagethat is a mess clear from the white house ahead of this attack. it's also being echoed by congressional leaders who are starting to put out statements and post on social media, including senate foreign relations chair ben cardin, who is also cautioning iran against widening this or escalating further. >> natalie, thank you. our continuing coverage streaming on cbs news 24/7 and at cbsnews.com. cc1 test message live in the cbs news studios in san francisco i'm brian hackney.

iran's delegation to the u.n. released the statement that you just heard with weijia jiang's bulletin, saying the matt can be deemed concluded but should the israeli regime make another mistake, iran's response will be considerably more severe. statement also warned the u.s. to stay out of the conflict. leading up to the attack, the lebanese group hezbollah said they launched dozens of rockets at israel's air defense headquarters. the group declared support for the palestinian people in gaza. despite the attacks, israel says that they have been able to shoot down some of those drones coming in from iran. >> and that is the sound of the air raid sirens going off over jerusalem. they started about an hour ago. israel is telling people to go into protect its bases. the idf says people should stay in place until they get word from the home front command. and a live look at washington, d.c., this evening. white house officials have said that president biden will not

on the kpix 5 doppler . low pressure continues to spin offshore. there will be a few showers tonight. there's even the possibility of a thunderstorm or two but in general while a few showers begin to unpeel over marin county under the influence of that southern flow, it looks like most of the action will be toward diminishing showers as we get into the evening hours and tomorrow that low pressure will ease south and the showers will begin to let up for tomorrow and, in fact, even through tonight. we'll have more detail whence we cover the forecast in a few minutes. here's andrea. >> thank you, brian. california's attorney general says he won't be filing charges against former windsor mayor don. the attorney general said they just didn't have enough evidence to prosecute. well, several women had accused the former mayor of sexual assault. the allegations range from threats to violence to drugging the women. they

also say he used his power as mayor to silence them. today the women held a press conference to respond to the dropped charges and talk about the impact of the alleged assault. >> how many rape victims does it take to get a rapist criminally charged? as women we need more voices because for some sad reason 15 women saying the same thing isn't enough in the state of california. >> he has denied all the allegations and said the encounters were consensual. da lin will have more on this story coming up at 6:00. well, xart muni still trying to get riders back on board, b.a.r.t.'s weekday numbers are down 60% since 2020. and muni says they have an added problem. more people are just not paying the fare. kelsi thorud has that story. >> reporter: fare evasion is not a new problem for sfmta,

but executive director jeffrey tumlin says they've seen a significant spike in people not paying to ride muni since the pandemic. >> when we stopped charging fares, stopped inspecting fares during covid, it's taken us a while to get our fare collection rate back to where it should be. so what we've seen is about an eight percentage point increase in fare evasion. >> reporter: to try and crack down on evaders, tumlin says sfmta will be adding dozens of additional fare inspectors. tumlin says the inspectors will rotate through every muni line in the city. >> we try to make sure that the distribution is random. we also want to make sure that if you're a low-income resident that you're no more likely to get inspected than if you're living in a wealthy neighborhood. so we make sure the distribution across the city is pretty even. >> reporter: tumlin says only about 20% of sfmta's revenue comes from fares, but with

ridership still well beelow pre-pandemic level, every dollar counts. still, he says it's a delicate balance between hiring more inspectors and getting fare revenue up. >> it costs more to get to 100% than you actually make in fare revenue. so what we're trying to find is that optization point with fare inspector where is the cost of each new fare inspector is more than paid for through an increase in fare compliance and fare revenue. >> reporter: tumlin says his goal is to make every muni passenger feel like they're all contributing their fair share for the use of public transit. he says passengers can expect to see the new inspectors on buses and trains very soon. >> meanwhile, b.a.r.t.'s also installing new gates at eight additional stations. you can see them on the map there. the goal is to cut down on fare evasion. and still ahead here at 5:00 --. >> families in walnut creek

opening the doors to life in their new homes. the

well, something that never seems to go away is the housing crisis. it's been difficult, it has been time consuming, and it seems unsolvable. there's one nonprofit builder that celebrated a new development in walnut creek. >> the homes built next to the pleasant hill b.a.r.t. station will be giving hope to those willing to put in the work. john ramos has the story. >> reporter: they're still putting the finishing touches on some of these homes, but habitat for humanity east bay chose this day for a welcome home ceremony, the first one since the pandemic. it's an example of how long-term the challenge is when it comes to

building housing and what can be accomplished with sheer determination. the spanish word for hope is esparanza, and it's a fitting name for the neighborhood in walnut creek. 23 families will move into the homes they helped build next to the pleasant hill b.a.r.t. station. janice jensen, ceo of habitat for humanity east bay/silicon valley, says these townhomes are an example of how much things have changed over the years. >> back in the day, we would build single-family homes. we don't do that very much anymore. first of all, the land prices here are so expensive. >> reporter: but habitat's workforce hasn't changed. about 80% of the project was built with volunteer labor. 40,000 hours for each house. construction manager ben grubb says it's amazing how quickly inexperienced people can learn

the trade. >> well, you'd be shocked. in the first hour of the job, feels like a schoolhouse, right? you're teaching everyone what to do. after that, people come out, they're % want to do a good job, right? basically, we're not the fastest builders of all time, but we're thorough and do a good job. >> when they told us that we were selected, i think i felt like we had won the lottery and having to do a lot of work was something that we were looking forward to learning how to build your house, how to, you know, how to paint. elisa specialized in painting the interiors of all the home, even though she had never picked up brush before. >> now when i go into buildings and other people's homes, i notice the paint and notice they probably need a retouch. >> reporter: this new home is a real dream come true for her since her partner guillermo is

busy full time raising their son who faces autism. >> the change for the future is so important for us. here i see a place for me and guillermo where we could grow old and take care of cecil as long as god allows us to. >> reporter: housing advocates often say the solution to the housing crisis is to build more housing, but that doesn't happen quickly. they broke ground in september of 2021 and there are still 19 homes to build. ceo jensen says just because the solution seems simple, it is by no means easy. >> incomes have not risen. costs have skyrocketed. and that creates a -- it creates a problem that is very hard to overcome. and we need better public policy. we need more funding. we need everything. >> reporter: the need is everywhere, but so is the willingness to help. all you have to do is ask the people who dream of a place to call their own. >> in all, it will contain 42

new townhomes when completed. they will be zero net energy, meaning they will provide more energy than they use. we're going to check back in with brian with the weather, and hopefully after this little system we might have a few clear days. >> hope on. >> hope on, okay. >> well, actually, there is good news ahead for you if you want more sunshine, although, talk about back and forth and back and forth. 80s last week, and then, wham, we get hit by the cold front that moved in overnight and gave us a good amount of rain. you'll see in a minute. you can see much of it has now moved out of the bay area. it's just led to scattered showers around parts of the north bay. we'll expect scattered showers around much of the rest of the bay area as the evening wears on. closer view here shows that much of the rain now is in the central valley and south. low pressure is spinning south. showers will ease up tomorrow. and then it does look like we're going to go to dry conditions. but it

did leave us with nearly 0.7 of an inch of rain in santa rosa. concord had about 0.33 of an inch and san francisco 0.6. we've got cloudy skies over much of the area. oakland picked up 0.4 of an inch, hayward a half an inch, in san jose almost half an inch as well. more showers overnight, we don't climb out of this quickly. it will be over -- in fact, we could get a thunderstorm tonight even as temperatures get chilly for this time of the year. boy, it is just going back and forth. the numbers in the moment in the upper 40s and lower 50s . that low will get kicked out to the east, high pressure begins to build in, and then sunshine increases. it'll be warmer on monday, and then looks like the numbers will be near 80 inland by the time we get to tuesday. tomorrow though still kind of a cool day. we start out in the upper 40s in san jose and top out in the low 60s. in santa rosa not dramatically

different, just not quite as warm. there's a chance of a linger shower or two, especially in the north bay and in parts of the south bay. but after today the chances pretty much collapse. tomorrow there's just a chance for a scattered shower or two, and the rest of the week locks like not much so. in general, we are drying out so. an tree eya's over there celebrating, getting ready to do sports. showery conditions will ease up tomorrow afternoon, increasing sunshine. warmer on monday and tuesday. low 80s inland by the time we get to midweek. actually looks like next weekend will be dry as well so. that hasn't happened lately. overnight lows tonight will be in the mid-40s, and you had cloudy skies, so we won't get that cold. tomorrow things look nice. we'll be cloudy in the south bay and a lingering shower or two. ditto for the east bay. tomorrow pittsburgh at 61. in brentwood, 61. danville, 60 nchlts the north bay, few showers tonight. the doppler is showing we do have rain now. up around ukiah we'll

only manage the low to mid-50s. standard sunshine after tomorrow for monday and tuesday. we'll cloud it up on wednesday, but it looks like it'll be dry through next weekend after we dispense with the showers tomorrow. monday, tuesday, wednesday increasing sunshine and inclosing temperatures. and that holds true for the east bay as well. along the coast it'll be fairly cloudy not only tomorrow but also midweek. in general the showers, they are going away so. that's why an tree ya's got a smile on her face. >> all right, thank you, brian. coming up in sports, who said the giants didn't have any power? they lit up tropicana field with their bats today. and the masters with thrilling moments with several cal bears in contention to wear the green jacket. we'll head out to - [narrator] at kpix, we're taking weather to the next level. - we can show not just what's happening at ground level, but we can show what's happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere. let's lift the clouds off of ground level and talk... - it really spotlights how unique the geography is here. - it's dynamic. it's different.
