they're not put back on the streets. the county plans to double its outreach to help 800 people each year find housing. >> homelessness has become the moral crisis of our time. >> just as the homelessness crisis statewide isn't simple, our solutions cannot be either. we must face the work together. >> getting a huge chunk of money and they know where it goes. who decides that? >> there are a number of housing and homeless advocates that work with them. i met one today, chad was homeless in the bay area for four years but is now housed. he helped found the lived experience advisory board of current and former homeless people who help advise the politicians on what works and what doesn't. >> the funding decisions, which

nonprofit partners receive the funds, is our community holding ourselves accountable and performing? getting people housed is the ultimate goal. we have influence from people who have been there before. >> those are the programs that are working right now. this is a nationwide initiative with half a billion dollars into communities that need it. will it work, make a dent here? he thinks so, but we'll have to wait. time will tell. >> you'll stay on top of it for us. >> we will. santa clara council member anthony becker was in court but he didn't enter a plea, he's getting settled on a legal team so he has until may 3rd. the district attorney is charging becker with leaking a report about whether the san francisco 49ers tried to exert power and influence over city council policy, a misdemeanor.

he is also charged with lying to the civil grand jury investigate the leak, a felony. >> we're not charging the 49ers for criminal violation for this conduct. we don't believe what happened here rises to that standard. however it does rise to the standard for the elected district attorney to say that's wrong, do not attack individual jurors. >> the judge did rule that becker can remain free but has to be booked into jail sometime between now and may 3rd. we're less than three hours away from tip-off for the warriors' next playoff game. most of us are excited but a lot of people are talking about what happened in the stands over the weekend. legendary bay area rapper e-40 was kicked out of the game and won't be coming tonight. that's what we're learning. here's the video of e-40 getting escorted out of the golden 1 center in sacramento.

this happened after an argument with a fan in the stands in the fourth quarter. e-40 says he was being heckled throughout the game and eventually turned around and talked back. soon after, kings security took him out. e-40 is alleging racial bias. saying quote, security saw a disagreement between a black man and white woman and immediately assumed that i was at fault. the kings say they're investigating the incident. the warriors have work to do after losing game one, sacramento's first playoff win in 17 years. it's been a while and the kings fans are loving it right now. anthony flores saw it all firsthand, he's there again tonight. you're so lucky, look at you there for game two. wondering what it's like out there. what is the vibe? i'm sure the kings fans are happy right now. >> reporter: they certainly are. sacramento is beaming with pride, literally. that's what they do, they light

the beam after each win and it was shining bright saturday night after the kings beat the warriors 126-123. in game one it was t-shirts. tonight it's rally towels, feel the roar. this place hasn't experienced playoff basketball in 17 years and they're cherishing every moment of it. >> i bet they are, anthony. i think what we want to know, warriors fans, what do the warriors need to do for game two for the win? >> reporter: coach kerr talked about several adjustments the team needs to make. in game one, they had good shots and looks, but he thinks they can pass more, make the kings work more on defense. great shots. warriors have to do a better job containing malik monk and de'aaron fox, they combined for 70 points. and rebound rebound rebound. the kings had 17 offensive rebounds, too many second chances for sacramento.

that's what coach kerr says the team is focusing on, making adjustments for game two tonight. >> so they need to rebound? >> reporter: rebound! >> who is winning tonight? >> reporter: well, this is a tough question, because i always think the warriors are going to win. but looking over the body of work the whole season, they've been an average team and struggled on the road. but i'll lean on the championship experience for tonight. this team has never started a playoff series 0-2 under steve kerr and i don't think that streak will be broken tonight, i think the warriors walk away with the w. >> we'll see. thanks, anthony. we'll see in an hour or so, stay with us. our sports teams in the bay area have always shown each other love, but this tweet from the 49ers has warriors and kings fans calling them out. 49ers tweeted best of luck in the playoffs warriors and kings.

welcome back, we told you that earth week starts today and we're kicking off a week-long series. if the thought of climate change keeps you up at night, you're not alone. a lot of people are dealing with climate anxiety. so here's our conversation. >> about a year ago you brought this issue to the forefront, ecogrief or climate anxiety. tell us what it means, how it affected you. >> this is personal for me, covering climate change day in, day out, i started feeling depressed. overwhelming feeling, the more i learned, the worse i felt. as i looked into it, i realized this is a thing a lot of people, potentially tens of million in the united states and more around the world are feeling. consider the everyday stresses of life, then watch the news and

hear about climate change and it's that compounding effect which can feel incredibly overwhelming for some people. >> and you found a lot of research and books written about it. you also found more people who are feeling that climate dread. >> it is particularly pronounced among younger people. millennials and gen-z are feeling this. what broke my heart to hear talking to experts that specialize in this, she said some members of gen-z have killed themselves because of the overwhelming feelings about climate change. it's not to be taken lightly. but at the same time there are a lot of tools and coping mechanisms people can try that work for them. >> important topic there with chase cain and kerry hall. we're learning more about the giant garbage patch in the pacific.

it's so big and it's permanent now it's created an entire ecosystem. the vortex of garbage is between california and hawaii, 620,000 square miles, twice the size of texas. scientists found dozens of coastal creatures living there, including tiny crabs and anemones. floating plaster for those who live near the coast and wouldn't be normally in the open ocean can thrive there. abortion rights in florida got more limited. ron desantis signed a law banning it after six weeks. here's a closer look at the law and its impact. >> abortion access in one of the most populous states just got a lot more limited. thursday evening florida governor desantis signed a law that bans abortion after six

weeks, one of the most restrictive in the nation. in the case of rape and incest, it's allowed up to 15 weeks. the ripple effect will impact people in other states. those seeking access in states with bans would come to florida for care. according to florida health care, the number of residents traveling for abortions doubled 2020 to 2022. with a republican supermajority in the state legislature, the law passed easily, even though half the country is opposed to these bans. a recent poll found that 50% strongly or somatopose a national six-week abortion ban, including 44% of republicans. 43% of republicans say they were less likely to vote for a politician who supports the restriction. restricting abortions has been

key for legislatures around the country after the supreme court struck down federal protections. it's not just political, it impacts health of tens of thousands of women across the country. i asked the president of the national association of nurse practitioners and women's health about the potential impact of the six week ban. >> it's one of the most restrictive in the country. at six weeks, do many women or those who can carry a child even know they're pregnant at that point? >> 1 in 5 people confirm pregnancy after week seven. 15 to 19 discover their pregnant six weeks or later. most people don't know. >> how do laws like that impact the physical or mental health of people who want or need abortion services? >> any restrictions or bans on

abortion cause unnecessary dangers for people. disproportionately harm the populations already suffering from the disparity of health and it makes it harder for people we're helping. >> people from out of state would come to florida, with the ban, what do options look like in the southeast for folks who need abortion access? >> this is another state in the region placing bans or restrictions on abortion access, when means it's going to be harder for accessing the quality health care. in louisiana and mississippi, bans of abortions all levels, georgia has legislation in place to ban the procedure after

cardiac activity is detected around six weeks. patients will have to travel farther, take more time off work, spend more money and have to rely on child care. not everybody has the job security and resources to do so. >> what can doctors do to make sure their patients can receive the reproductive treatment they need? >> biggest thing is we have to be aware of what is going on within our region and state levels. my national organization provides some resources. there are membership population can access. it's criminal what is happening within the respective states. to ensure you can help support-year patients. >> watch more on nbc lx at
