investigations. we saw people taken into custody in sunnyvale, but it's not clear if they were workers. google says a small number of employees did disrupt things at some of its offices. in a statement, it says, quote, physically impeding other employees work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies and completely unacceptable behavior. after refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety. >> pro-palestinian protesters who shut down the golden gate bridge on monday may have to pay the people they inconvenienced. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins is urging anyone who was, quote, trapped on the bridge to contact her office. jenkins wants to know what happened to them to determine whether they're the victim of a crime, which may entitle them to restitution. officers arrested a total of 26 people on various charges, including felony conspiracy and false imprisonment for shutting down the span for hours. jenkins has not yet filed charges, saying

more investigation needs to be done. well, so far no charges have been filed against pro-palestinian protesters arrested in alameda county. 12 people were taken into custody after they blocked lanes on 8-80, essentially shutting down the freeway in oakland. in a statement, alameda county district attorney pamela price said prosecutors are prepared to receive case information for those arrested during that incident. she adds, while my office supports the essential right to protest, it is important to note that public safety should never be compromised in exercising the first amendment right of free speech. >> we make it our mission every day to find the breakthroughs in our neighborhoods, the stuff that builds a better bay area. and tonight we wanted to highlight one breakthrough in progress in the south bay. neighbors and city leaders in san jose all came together for a town hall to address several street encampments along one part of town. they say the encampmes lid several sections of willow street, and now city leaders are working through their options. abc seven news south bay reporter lauren martinez has more.

>> i'm opting for option number one. you try to do a better job finding solutions for a san jose homeless encampment brought dozens of residents out to a community forum. >> the ad spaces that are managed. and then we shut down spaces that are unmanaged. >> on wednesday, mayor matt mehan and council members omar torres and dev davis held a town hall on what to do about the homeless encampment off willow street and la long. the mayor brought up two options the first to continue what he called the status quo approach and increase cleanup and some enforcement. but the encampment would remain as is. >> or we could take valley waters offer and take that paved area. i know some of you don't like it. no no. >> the second option garnered some heated reaction. the mayor proposed the city could use the land across the street owned by valley water, and create a safe sleeping site with rules with tents in a row, with trash pickup, with some amount of

security and case management. the mayor says if this were to become a safe sleeping site, people would be required to use it or leave with again, the noise, the drums, the crime, all the issues you're facing. >> you've got to give us an option of where people can go. >> some residents were upset the safe sleeping site is similar to an idea council member davis proposed years ago. >> i don't see how moving that same group of people across the way and suddenly managing them is suddenly going to change those entire people and change the environment. >> i think our city needs to sue the county. i think the county needs to do their job and as one person said earlier, find some unincorporated property somewhere else, not smack dab in the middle of neighborhoods. >> other residents were supportive of the interim housing site. >> for one thing, it's a temporary location and these people need to go someplace.

it's a very human problem. we're having, so this isn't the best solution. but it is a move in the right direction. >> the mayor says this open conversation to find a solution will continue in san jose. lauren martinez abc seven news. >> pumping life into downtown san francisco has grabbed lawmakers attention at the state capitol. there now multiple proposals weaving their way through the legislature. one bill introduced today by assembly member phil tang, would help the city with its plan to turn vacant office space downtown into housing. ting estimates the city has 32.5 million square feet of empty office space. that's the equivalent. listen to this. of 23 salesforce towers, his bill would create a revitalization district that would rely on tax incentives. >> while many people know our famous office buildings, the newer office buildings, those really won't be the ones that will be converted. it will probably be some of the older buildings, the buildings that

are smaller or less famous because those are the ones that are easier to convert into housing. >> there's a second bill backed by scott wiener that made it out of committee today. >> the warm weather has been an early taste of summer, but that may all be changing for some of us. abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel is peeking ahead in our 24 hour accuweather forecast. sandhya. >> yeah, and ama, we really had a beautiful day. no doubt about it. it did feel like summer in our inland areas and even in places like san jose. check out the high temperatures for today 81 in san jose, 80 in san rafael got up into the 70s from san francisco to oakland, all the way out towards santa rosa. concord livermore is 61 degrees in half moon bay. it is still really mild across many parts of the bay area. 63 in san jose and concord, 62 in hayward, 55 in the city, north bay. you're looking at 63 degrees right now in fairfield. as we check out your day planner tomorrow morning, we'll start out with mild conditions a few clouds, temperatures in the 50s, sun and

guys on the boys than the girls, that he had really good relationships with. a lot of the girls and was very like friendly and buddy buddy with them. my son, when this initially happened, i said, what's the deal? >> he said, i don't know. he said he seemed cool. he said he seemed like a nice guy. he said, but he was very friendly with the female students parents we spoke with at this district-wide community meeting wednesday night learned that rao has been charged with 21 felonies. >> court documents say the alleged crimes began sometime last summer and continued until last week. the victim said to be 15 and 16. during all of this, the napa county sheriff says rao was first arrested on april 9th after the school resource officer looked into the matter. >> he came across some very disturbing evidence. we're kind of pushed it past the rumor realm into the evidence realm, and then the decision was made to immediately arrest him. >> rao bailed out and was then arrested again on the 12th. when authorities say more evidence surfaced, he is currently still

in jail. superintendent of napa valley schools rosanna musetti spoke at this meeting. she says the alleged sex acts are believed to have occurred on the american canyon high school campus, in the weight room, in a vehicle and in a janitorial closet. she addressed her concerns with us wednesday night. >> it's extremely concerning. it's absolutely unacceptable to us. and so we are going to look at our systems. we are going to investigate the matter comprehensively and thoroughly. >> the complaint also says that rao was in possession of material that showed a minor engaging in sexual conduct. parents said the details in this case are painful to hear. >> heartbroken because this is such a tight knit community. we have great parents, we have great students and it just shouldn't have happened. >> now law enforcement is trying to determine if there are any more victims in american canyon. j.r. stone, abc seven news. >> sfmta is set to propose

changes to a traffic intersection that was recently the site of a fatal crash. the san francisco chronicle reports tomorrow that transit agency will propose a reconfiguration that would prevent cars from cutting through the intersection of yulo street and west portal avenue. that's that same area where just a month ago, an suv crashed through a bus stop, killing a family of four. among the proposed changes, drivers heading toward the muni station from west portal avenue or yulo street would be forced to make a right turn. cars would no longer be allowed to access yulo from claremont avenue nearby, and lenox way, which also crosses yulo, would be converted into a one way street with automobiles rerouted, the roadways would form what sfmta officials call a grand welcome plaza at the front of the west portal muni station. >> all right, coming up, a fire truck slams into a california home, and the homeowner finds out from right across the street. plus, this pretty traumatic to be pulled out of a tree like that. >> definitely stop the selfies. the story behind these teens and

>> the study looked at people with moderate to severe sleep apnea, both with and without cpap therapy. and not only did the drug lower apnea events by up to 63. their data shows it also reduced body weight by up to 20, and apnea event is when someone stops breathing or doesn't breathe enough while sleeping. in many patients, it went from about 45 events an hour to just 15. >> we believe that this medicine removes fat around the airway, which reduces sort of the cause of sleep apnea, which is that the excess tissue that causes the airways to collapse the once a week injectable treatment isn't new. >> under the name manjaro, it's approved to treat type two diabetes under the name zep bound. it treats weight loss. >> the generic name is called tirzepatide, and then we commonly use these brand names, which confuses people. >> doctor raj dasgupta is excited about having another weapon for sleep apnea, but he thinks it's only one piece of the puzzle. >> is this going to be the magic bullet? is this going to be the drug? and now you don't need to

get evaluated. you don't need cpap, you don't need to do other things. i don't think we're at that stage yet. >> well, this may be a turning point for sleep apnea patients, he says. we still need to learn more about the long tum effects. >> when we talk about what is the gold standard, of course, it's still going to be wearing that mask for right now. >> remember, zepp bound is already approved for weight loss. eli lilly will now submit it to the fda for it to be used to treat sleep apnea as well. they hope to do so in the coming months. tony cabrera, abc seven news. >> new at 11. this is something you definitely should never do, no matter what. video shows some people pulling bear cubs out of a tree in asheville, north carolina. the reason they wanted to take selfies with them. wildlife officials were called out. by the time they got there, only one of the cubs was still around. the others had wandered back into the woods. look. look at this. so stupid. the people responsible. well, they got a talking to. >> total selfishness. this is

not what we talk about when we talk about co-existing, we did confront them on site that day. we let them know how irresponsible and potentially deadly it could be for that cub to be separated from its mom. >> the cub was rescued and is at a rehab facility. it will eventually be released back into the wild. there is an investigation and the people who pulled the cubs out of the tree, they could face charges. what are you thinking? waiting to watch that. >> come on, let's have some. >> the poor mama bear somewhere. it's like, where are my babies? >> all right, let's move on. talk about the weather forecast changing a little bit. yes. >> sandhya patel is here with those changes. sandhya. yeah? >> we're going to start you off with some minor changes tomorrow. dan and anna. and then we'll move on to some bigger changes. let me show you some live views right now from our tower cameras. really glorious views from all of our tower cameras. we have a few high, thin, wispy clouds passing through, but other than that, skies are clear. and here's a look at the forecast. so today's high temperatures in the first column tomorrow in the second.

and you will notice 79 in napa today going down two degrees, san rafael will drop four degrees from 80 to 76. certainly we'll see four degrees cooling in san francisco. but san jose only a 1 degrees drop off. so you get the drift here. minor fluctuations, high pressure in control of our weather. that's what brought us the warmth. temperatures anywhere from 8 to 12 degrees above average for this time of year. this system is pretty strong in the pacific now. right now it's not going to bring us any rain, but we certainly will see those changes occurring in the form of more cloud cover, more fog by friday, and cooler weather on live doppler seven. all is quiet. your temperatures at this hour, 50s and 60s. it's pretty mild outside. you can even feel it out there as we look at a live picture from our mount tam cam tomorrow. co schools warm inland friday. temperatures drop in all areas and as we head towards your weekend, mainly sunny and warmer weather. so let's talk about your weekend in case you're making outdoor plans. 60 to 78 degrees saturday morning fog will give way to brighter
