democratic presidential candidate michael bloomberg is

in the area today campaigning. anti-took bart -- he took bart. he attended a campaign event as well at a barbecue in jaclyn square. he wants to cut down the greenhouse gases by closing down coal power plants. >> i want to close those dirty coal power plants. i want to combat climate change. >> he will be at another campaign event this evening in monterey. now let's go to alex michelson for more. >> reporter: good to see you.

mike bloomberg is really betting big on the state of california. he is essentially ignoring iowa and new hampshire. he thinks super tuesday will be good for him in california and that is because he has $52 billion. he spends that money on advertisement. we talked about those and he said he is spending that money to try to hurt donald trump. i have more on his conversation coming up. i also talked to kevin mccarthy . he is making the argument that joe biden should sit out the campaign trail for the next few weeks during the impeachment trial because many of his impoundments will have to sit out to be part of that as jurors of the senate. >> the only thing that has changed are the four senators that are running for senate are

now being denied the ability to run their campaigns. so as long as the campaign is on others should not campaign either because of the advantage. bernie sanders has been through this many times. if you are a supporter of bernie sanders you understand it. >> you believe that joe biden should not campaign? >> a lot of the others are not allowed to because it is a disadvantage to them. >> you think the president can campaign? he is a defendant in this. >> yes the president can because right now we are in the primary process. the republicans are being very fair about this process and that is the difference. >> kevin mccarthy also talks to us about the issues of homelessness and the issue of iran.

i will have more on that as well for you. >> it's interesting on who he thinks can and cannot campaign when it comes to this entire impeachment trial. it is very interesting when you asked him about the president and he said that he could campaign. >> right. . essentially one could argue that if you are getting an unfair advantage, it would be an unfair advantage for all the democrats to not be on the campaign trail while the president is doing campaign rallies. the president is the subject of the impeachment to begin with but that was his explanation. >> thank you so much alex. that is part of the issue is which is on sunday mornings. be sure to check it out. and there was a campaign appearance last night in san

francisco and hundreds turned out. the supporters called themselves the yang gang for andrew yang. they want to get a chance to qualify for the february 7 debate in new hampshire. >> this race is very much up in the air. people have not decided yet who to support down the stretch. we have been growing faster than any other campaign. >> evan lowe joined in on that campaign last night. and a poll shows that bernie sanders is gaining support. his supports go on up. sanders at 20%, biden at 19%, worn at 12%, bloomberg at 9%.

and the jury is set with the new york trial of harvey weinstein. we will break down the case for you coming up next. plus officials are screening passengers coming in from china. more on that coming up after the break. we made usaa insurance for members like kate.

a former army medic, made of the flexibility to handle whatever monday has in store and tackle four things at once. so when her car got hit, she didn't worry. she simply filed a claim on her usaa app and said... i got this. usaa insurance is made the way kate needs it - easy. she can even pick her payment plan so it's easy on her budget and her life. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa we have the flu season now in full swing. and one particular strain is problematic.

>> reporter: flu season is nearly halfway through but the activity is still widespread. the cdc says 120,000 people have been hospitalized across the united states. >> it is hard to sleep with it. >> reporter: the latest report says the b strain is the predominant one this season. >> we know it does impact children more. we usually see that during the second half of the influenza season. dropped more than three dozen children have died from the flu this year. experts say that the flu shot is the best way to prevent the flu this year. >> children under six months old cannot get the flu shot so it is important for all of those around them to get the flu shot to minimize the risk of them getting the flu themselves.

>> reporter: the cdc says it is too early to determine yet if the flu season has be. people with flu symptoms are encouraged to see doctors immediately, especially if they have other risk causes. >> things like diabetes or cancer. that can reduce your immune system and make you more susceptible to catching the flu. >> reporter: the flu season nearly ends in spring. sfo is going to begin screening passengers for a new virus coming in from central china. the screenings will begin tomorrow at a specially- designated part of the airport. l.a.x. and jfk are also doing the screenings. this is for passengers coming from china. they will be questioned and

check for fever and other symptoms. >> we think that connecting number is about 10-25 passengers per day. on top of that we have three nonstop flights per week coming in from the area on that happens on tuesday, thursday, and saturday. >> this virus was identified last month by experts. so far two people have died from it. and 200 people got sick after going to yosemite national park and the nora by ms. may be to -- and the norovirus may be to blame. at least two cases have been confirmed of the norovirus. crews are working to clean and disinfect common areas in the park. and the jury selection in the harvey weinstein trial is now finished. they have selected

seven men and five women on the panel. testimony will begin next week. he has pleaded not guilty to his charges. he said that any sexual activity referenced was consensual. thank you for coming in to talk about this, michael. when you look at the makeup of the jury, do you see one side having an advantage going in? >> i'm not sure which side would have the advantage. both sides have strategies. we want more women than men, or vice versa, or we want younger, or we want older people, there are all types of strategies. i do not know if either one hired jury consultants

beforehand. but i think the thing that distracts me is it's sort of like mike tyson who gets into the ring saying everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face and then the plan goes out the window. >> prosecutor's accuse the team of weinstein of eliminating white women on the jury. do you believe that is a strategy that would be deployed? >> absolutely. as a prosecutor myself i learned early on that sometimes women are tougher on the women victims then the men. the men can be more sympathetic. i'm not sure about that psychology but they say that women for example will say she

was wearing a dress that was just too short. men do not think that way. so sometimes that type of thinking can really backfire. did you see him walk into the court room on that walker? i will tell you about strategy. that is the type of strategy, to make them look sympathetic to the jury. >> now let's talk about the jurors who have been set for the trial. there is no doubt that they have read or heard about the allegations against harvey weinstein. how do we know they can still move forward and judge this case based solely on the evidence? >> that is a question asked by either the judge or the attorneys on the case. if they say that they know about the case, the next question would be whether or not you have already made up your mind. you would be surprised in

cases like this, the number of people that don't pay any attention to the news at all. i have tried some pretty big cases and people say they don't know much about it. but the bottom line is, knowing what you know have you already made up your mind in this case or will you wait to hear all the evidence that comes from the witness stand to make up your mind? and not on what you hear on the news? people say that they can do that. >> and as an attorney you look them in the eyes and figure out if they are being truthful. >> yes some people always want to get on a case that is high profile and we look out for those. >> we have to leave the conversation. happy friday to you, michael. i appreciate the input as always,. a long time political

leader has passed away, terence hallinan . he died peacefully this morning. hallinan was known as a legendary civil rights activist, defense attorney, former city supervisor, and an outspoken advocate for marijuana legalization who became san francisco's district attorney in 1995. he was also a boxer and sparred with muhammad ali, earning him the nickname "kayo." he grew up nearby. he was a champion of progressive causes just like his father, vincent. terence hallinan passed away in his sleep at age 83. a search for survivors has been called off following a deadly avalanche. next we will go live to the location to learn about avalanche dangers in the sierras. and i will have your forecast. stay tuned. we will be right back after this break.

more now on the deadly avalanche at alpine meadows ski resort. the person that was killed was cole comstock, 34, of blairsden, california. another person suffered serious injuries and is undergoing surgery now. a wall of snow came down this morning inside the resort boundaries. for more on what took place today we are joined by kevin

cooper. it is good to hear from you but a very somber day in your area after that tragic avalanche at alpine meadows. the resort did take steps to try to decrease the danger from the avalanche. what do you think led to this? tell us about the conditions. >> we received a significant amount of snow in the last 24 hours which fell on top of hardpacked. that created the serious avalanche danger. you can go to the avalanche website in the backcountry and yesterday the advisory was high both above near and below the tree lines. today it is still in the considerable zone. we have up to 24 inches of snow received here recently.

this was near the promised land and the scott chair where it is a little bit steeper. this is probably what caused it , the increase in the wind. we do not know if this was caused by a human or if it was natural breakoff. i guarantee you that the team at alpine meadows and squaw valley did everything to clear out the routes. unfortunately we are dealing with mother nature and she is in control. it is a somber moment. it is a wake-up for just how careful we need to be in the mountains while in the backcountry at a resort. avalanches are very rare in bounds because of the avalanche mitigation done by the teams. but we do still need to be aware of it. >> and in 1982 there was

another avalanche at alpine meadows. that one killed seven people and sent snow onto the building , the resort itself. is there something about that particular area where the terrain is more susceptible to these avalanches? >> that's a great question. there is a book about that called the "while of life." the terrain you are talking about about thaw wall of snow that came down in 1982 was a known avalanche path. during that winter the ski patrol was working at alpine meadows. and there was a very high level of concern that something was going to let loose and it actually did. it did take out the lodge at alpine meadows.

kirkwood mountain resort is a class a resort. that means the majority of the terrain is in the avalanche terrain. they do have avalanche awareness programs as well as training programs. again, unfortunately in this area by the promised land it is steep. it is a challenge we need to be aware of. >> and how worried do you think folks heading up the mountain this weekend need to be about the possibility of another avalanche? >> that's a great question. i do not think you need to be worried. all of the resorts will be talking. the patrols and mountain terrain keepers will be talking to make sure the resort is safe and ready to go. for the backcountry now that is

a little different. >> we have to go. thank you so much. have a great weekend. we appreciate your insight on this topic. now let's look outside. let's look at the conditions in the bay area. we have a football game coming up on sunday and beautiful weather expected, don't we rosemary? >> yes we do. we will have dry conditions at levi stadium on sunday. and we are looking forward to that because we have been stuck in the low 50s for quite some time. this is the rainfall total of listing for this latest storm. pretty impressive totals. over 1 inch in oakland. the farther north you go, the more you did receive.

that is good news because look where we stand. 55% in oakland as far as the season. the next chance for rain looks like tuesday. right now we have partly sunny skies. this system will remain to the north of us for the next few days. this is the futurecast model going all the way out to tuesday before coming back around. we do expect the clouds to be with us sunday. filtered sunshine expected. on monday, it is dry. things do change by tuesday. tuesday morning will be our best shot to see more rain and snow in the sierras. if you are going to the game on sunday, upper 40s expected at kickoff time. partly cloudy conditions expected as well.

we are in the upper 40s in concorde right now. 51 in napa. mid-50s over san jose. tomorrow morning will be called with temperatures into the 30s. upper 30s expected around a in the morning. tomorrow the afternoon highs will be increased just slightly . mid-to upper 50s over the north bay. for the east bay, 55 . san francisco up to 54. san jose will be warmer with 57 . sunday will be the warmest day . very cold in lake tahoe right now. below freezing. overnight, temperatures drop down to the

20s. low 40s expected for saturday and sunday. for us at home temperatures warm up. the next chance for rain is tuesday. >> thank you so much, rosemary. a lot of folks are showing their 49ers pride all over the bay area. more on that coming up after the break. and a father is accused of kidnapping his daughter. that little girl was just released. this is video of her with her grandmother. tonight at 5 p.m. we will hear from relieved family members after this standoff with police.
