on the peninsula. good afternoon, welcome to nbc bay area news at 4:30 pm. outside the jail in san bruno trying to get more information. and tracking other stories including details on the protesters who blocked the golden gate bridge. the semper cisco da talked moments ago, the reason she says she is not filing charges right now. back in court to try to get his conviction overturned. scott peterson begins a series of hearings today, we were there for what happened today and what is to come. at an all-time high, it has never been better to own gold, why the price has shot up and where it is likely to go from here. let's begin with the situation at the jail in san bruno that brought out a tactical team, two prisoners refused to come out of there's cell and after a week of lockdown.

sent them out there, would you learning?>> reporter: it lasted about two hours, looks very different than what it did before before when we saw sky ranger ahead, they tell me it's all because two inmates refused to come out of a two-person cell and deputies were also searching for jail made weapons they believed were involved in all this. negotiators had to come in, and talk with the inmates, eventually they surrendered after about two hours, of the whole situation taking place. luckily no one was injured. we know there have been several different incidents that have happened since march 29, where several deputies and staff have been injured, and in other situations, luckily today no one was injured. this is something that they are still investigating. as of just about an hour ago,

deputies were still looking for the weapons that they believe were involved in this as well. >> and i understand there were other issues at the jail from over the weekend? >> yes, so on friday, two different jails throughout semper cisco county went on lockdown. it all stems from various different incidents that have happened since march 29, since march 29, nine deputies and/or staff have been injured in incidents that have taken place at several different jails throughout the county. and so the sheriff took the action on friday to place two of the jails on lockdown, san bruno being one, the other one in downtown san francisco, to try to get a handle on all of this. in the coming days we expect the lockdowns to be lifted, the sheriff spoke to us a couple of hours ago, saying that one of the jails will be lifted from lockdown tomorrow, and the

latest incident that happened here today, audrey. >> thank you for updating us on everything that is happening. we will see a full story tonight. we're learning today that 26 protesters rested on the golden gate bridge yesterday spent the night in jail, arrested for multiple misdemeanors and a felony conspiracy charge. some of the protesters rallied outside the main jail in san francisco to denounce the looming charges. a spokesperson says they believe the conspiracy accusation is unfair. today the chp released video showing just how hard it was for officers to remove those protesters. first on 880 in the east bay, they had to cut through barrels the demonstrators had chained themselves to and the golden gate bridge were protesters linked themselves together using pipes and cars. the san francisco da says her office needs more time to file charges, and is sending the

case back to the chp for further investigation. governor newsom was also weighing in today. >> it allows for the agency to provide us with more evidence than they otherwise would be in the short timeframe.>> and an answer right away, everything we need to, with the case. >> around the cease-fire, the president of the united states supporting that and supporting his approach to that issue. i believe fundamentally that's part of what he's expressing, but better than the nine people the ability to get to work. somebody in an emergency that can get to the destination. and accounting for the actions. >> in total 38 arrested, and if they plan to charge the protesters with a crime. marking the first of three hearings that could determine

whether convicted killer scott peterson will get a new trial, ian cole was in the san mateo courtroom today and joins us now, what happened today. >> the first of three motion, put forward by scott peterson's attorney, they say peterson was wrongfully convicted of killing his unborn wife and sun, and appearing virtually from the state prison outside of sacramento, only spoke to confirm he could hear and see the proceeding, the judge heard a motion to seal them from public view. and the argument has been that they want to protect the identity of people they've interviewed fear retaliation from the modesto police department. the defense basically withdrew the motion after all sides agreed that the names will remain redacted. >> ultimately the defense is going to make a motion for new trial. so they are laying the

groundwork right now. >> laying the groundwork right now, so what happens next? >> next on may 29, that is expected to be much more intriguing than what happened today, that is when scott peterson's lawyers were asked the judge to let them test multiple pieces of evidence for lacey's dna, they pointed to a burned-out orange man with a bloody mattress, said to have been found in modesto the afternoon after lacey disappeared, supporting a theory that she was killed by burglars from across the street, both lawyers declined to talk, we spoke with legal analyst stephen clark. >> there is a protocol that allows scott peterson to come to court and say, i did not get a fair trial, there is information that was not given to my team, there is new evidence that needs to be tested. all of that is going into his motion and the court will rule on that once this is all culminated. >> while today's hearing was

only about 30 minutes, the next one focusing on dna testing is expected to go all day and we will dive deeper into the next that's coming up at 5:30 pm. >> see you then. transit leaders have given the green light, the last 30 minutes, unanimously approving the use of cameras at 33 spots across the city starting next year, once there activated they automatically flag speeding drivers, they will get a violation mailed to them. all part of a pilot program approved by state lawmakers, six cities will receive the cameras, including oakland and san jose. have you seen the price of gold lately, the all-time high, $2400 an ounce, almost a $600 increase over the past six months. let's bring in our business and tech reporter, scott, you have been looking into it, what is behind the recent spike? >> not something we talked about that much we talk more

about stock or real estate prices or even crypto bitcoin prices but gold has been steadily creeping up higher, people generally buy it for several reasons, most popular would be because of economic uncertainty, if you're looking at the economy, you're wondering what are interest rates when you do, how do i save money, you might say gold is a tangible asset, it grows very slowly, not like bitcoin ago -- goes up and down by thousands of dollars a day, and something is physical, something they know they can have in a safe deposit box. even costco is selling bars of gold, it is in the mainstream as people get used to the idea of something that maybe they've heard about from the grandparents, and now seems like a smart investment. >> even costco is getting into it, what are other shop saying, do they see a spike in business? >> yes, seeing locally what is going on, they say that people

are paying attention to the price of gold and say i've got a watch or ring or some jury or something like that, bars or coins, $2400 per ounce, this is something i will cash in on, they will go in and buy some gold, whether in a watch for more jewelry for more bar form. all sorts of stuff, it's really interesting, they are seeing a whole lot more action than usual, even over the last three weeks as the price of gold has climbed.>> any comparison, i heard you mention bitcoin earlier, bitcoin and gold? figure sometimes people will conflate the two, some out there thing that we don't talk about, but crypto is untraceable enough physical, that's why people like it, gold is very traceable and very much a physical asset, that's why people like it also, very new,

sexy but not that known by whole lot of people and very volatile and speculative, whereas gold always hangs in there, there are countries, the vatican, everyone has gold, the question is do they hold onto it for long time or sell it to try to get the cash value, which makes the whole thing churn a little more. people are looking at the interest rates, if they drop, people like gold, when interest rates drop you can get as much money for your savings, whereas gold is seen by a lot of people is something like a savings account, something safe and solid. >> for someone clueless like me with all the stuff, what does the rest of the year look like and what might move the price of gold? >> what the federal reserve does to interest rates, if they do lower rates gold often goes out, if they raise rates people say i've got somewhere to go with my savings, it is really

hard to say, gold doesn't move all that much except when people get worried, hard to predict but if something strange happens, people might say i want a safe haven for my money. >> i got it, thank you so much, i appreciate it. helping kids become financially responsible. we break down ways to help your children get comfortable handling and saving money. also it is win or go home time, the warriors headed to sacramento to take on the kings in an elimination game, anthony florez is there, joining us live with all of the excitement ahead of the plan gain. before we had to break we want to know which training story would you like to see later on in the newscast. and on the instagram, you have a little bit more time to vote, doj takes on ticketmaster, albums added to national recording registry, or funeral
