be estimating about 50 or 60 demonstrators have taken over this building. behind me. you can see some are actually in front of the building camping out in tents. some have been going in and out of that building as the evening went on. uc berkeley is calling this simply a crime scene, and even some people's park protesters have a problem with what's going on out here. mullin palestine chanting coming from the previously vacant building near the uc berkeley campus, the occupiers brought signs about the war in gaza. a woman with a bullhorn demanding an end to occupation, an amnesty for protesters and abolish the ucpd cops off campus. it's hot breaking to say people are dying. babies are dying, children pregnant, mothers, husbands and their older relatives. what kind of a madness is that? a uc berkeley spokesperson says this group of mostly non-students is not connected with the protesters who left their encampment at

sproul plaza yesterday after reaching an agreement with the university. one protester says this takeover is because today is nakba day, a day palestinians remember hundreds of thousands of their people being displaced in 1948. today is also the 55th anniversary of the people's park riots. in 1969, which happened just one block from here when people's park protesters says the occupiers of this building should not be just a one issue group. i mind when it becomes insular and local. issues like people's park get swept under the rug and nothing happens. university says it's not going to comment on what it may or may not do about the takeover of the university's building, we do know that there is a police and security guard presence, very low profile presence in the area tonight. live in berkeley. terry mcsweeney nbc, bay area news now at san jose state,

pro-palestinian protesters also marched on campus tonight demanding the university divest from israel. the students are camping out on tower lawn, where the tommie smith and john carlos statues are located. tonight. they invited the artist behind those statues to speak. this monument at the center of san jose state university celebrates the very thing that's happening right now. when we did the monument, we left an empty spot for the students to step on and use it for their own advocacy. university says they told the students to leave the encampment last night and that they are now violating it's quote, time, place and manner policy. now the university released a statement saying in part, we are seeking opportunities for dialog with our students and organizers to reach a peaceful resolution. some other headlines tonight. did you see anything? antioch police need help to figure out what happened to a man who was found dead on a sidewalk. it all

sunshine. summer vacation approaching and plenty of outdoor activities. but be warned here tick season is also here. lyme disease experts say % ticks due to the longer than usual rainy season. here's nbc's pete serratos. the fog is thick at tilden park but is not stopping many from enjoying an evening hike. however, the moisture in the air could mean more tick sightings than usual. don't do a lot of prevention. and, i just check my body for ticks after going for a hike. they like moist, more foggy areas. and, and they like wooded , leafy areas more than the chaparral. dry areas of the bay area. linda giampa is the executive director of the bay area lyme foundation. she says ticks thrive in wet conditions, and with the rainy season in the bay area extending into may, she expects tick season to last through july, which is why she's

cautioning hikers in areas such as tilden park to stay in the middle of the path away from grasslands, be sure to check for ticks on family members and pets. and once you get home, throw your clothes in the dryer. ticks are not killed by your laundry or showers or are, they are killed in a hot, a hot dryer. linda says tick season will begin to wind down as conditions get drier. she expects bay area counties to put out advisories regarding the uptick in ticks in the coming weeks, but some hikers are already prepared. just don't be near. like certain plants or like certain bushes or trees. like don't get too close because realistically, that's how they're going to jump on you in the east bay. pete serratos, nbc. bay area news. a proposed new ordinance could soon force unhoused people living along santa clara county creeks to leave. valley water says creekside camps are posing a growing hazard to the environment. look at that. crews recently hauled off nearly 800 tons of debris from creekside

land and waterways. now, the proposed ordinance would ban creekside camping along 295 miles of property that the district owns and manages in santa clara county, and the idea is to, protect the natural resources in the area to reverse the effects of the amount of garbage, trash, debris, hazardous materials that are entering the waterways. if the district board approves the ordinance, it could take effect as early as this summer. the public, however, will get a chance to weigh in this friday at 1 p.m. at valley water headquarters. she went there to help, and now she's stuck there. a bay area doctor trapped in gaza. perhaps her only hope right now is federal intervention. here's nbc's gia vang. it's no longer there. the same sign, doctor sheikholeslami stood out when she arrived in gaza. not after israeli tanks drove over it when it seized the rafah crossing more than a week

ago. her brother. last night, she did speak to her daughter and had some text to us, and we were encouraged that she's doing well and she's in good spirits. but she was really worried about the you know, they're really low on medical equipment and supplies. the san carlos doctor at sutter health is also worried about her patients who depend on her in the bay area. she left at the end of april on a two week mission with a group of other doctors. she was supposed to come back monday through the now closed rafah border crossing between egypt and southern gaza, which has been a vital route for aid. we have to reopen the border, we have to stop the violence and we have to get both our health workers out and other doctors back in because, you know, the people of palestine really need the services. what the family needs is for their congressional representative and the state department to step in. congresswoman anna eshoo has spoken to the family on the phone. in a statement to us, she said, i'm doing everything i can to help my constituent doctor, sheikholeslami and the other 19

american doctors get home from gaza. i'm in daily touch with the family and the state department to get these heroic americans home. but when is still a question. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu told our partners at cnbc. there i-5 operation will likely last for weeks, acknowledging the rift it's creating with some nations, including the u.s. yes, we do have a disagreement on gaza and rather on rafah. but we have to do what we have to do. the intense part of the fighting, the smashing of the battalions, is just weeks away. it doesn't take that long. his firm stance stoking fears over the safety of palestinian civilians and others there to help, like doctor sheikholeslami gia vang, nbc, bay area news president biden thanked the men and women and families of fallen law enforcement. today, national peace officers memorial service is held in d.c. annual event honors the members of law enforcement who gave their lives in the line of duty. during the ceremony, the president hailed those officers for their courage, their service, and their sacrifice. among those remembered today, oakland officer tuan lei lei was shot

and killed while responding to a burglary back in december. lei was the 54th oakland police officer killed in the line of duty. alameda county district attorney pamela price is responding to last night's big vote, where the county board of supervisors decided the date of her recall election will be part of the november 5th general ballot. this is a victory for the people of alameda county. this is a win for democracy. the embattled da and her supporters praised the board of supervisor for not approving a separate special election. she also shot back at critics who claim she's soft on crime. the da says her office has prosecuted people at a higher rate than her predecessor, and she blasted recall organizers, saying their efforts are being fueled by misinformation. those organizers say the november 5th election date has a significant is a milestone. okay, all this accusation is not going to help

her anymore, okay? the reality is she will be recalled. and she also faces, recall election. one thing i have to say stop using our tax dollars and using your office hours and campaigning. now, if the recall on november 5th is successful, the supervisors would then appoint a new da to carry out the remainder of price's term. south bay teachers rallied today, calling for better pay to keep up with their bay area's high cost of living. teachers lined up outside los gatos high school, their union is negotiating with the saratoga high school district, but the teachers say they used to be the best paid educators in the area. now they can't even afford to live with their students. do. the district tells us it looks forward to continuing negotiations that are both beneficial and fiscally responsible for the community. we are back in 60s up next is crime in oakland really going down? that's what published

crime reports show. but our investigative unit has uncovered major gaps in the data. we'll fill you in. plus, the countdown is on to the nfl season. and the 40 niners just made an announcement. you are going to want to hear. and of course, we've got that fog lingering around the coastline 56 degrees right now. what can we expect overnight and into your thursday morning commute? sounds like a chge ofan

on social media today, welcoming chief floyd mitchell to the oakland family. this ceremony, private, but the mayor says a public ceremony is in the works, so chief floyd can officially be introduced to the community. so are we getting the real story when it comes to the oakland police department? from homicides to shootings to car break ins, op pd says crime is

down this year. at least that's what their published crime reports show. but our investigative unit started digging around into opd's data and found some major gaps that span years. let's bring in investigative reporter candice nguyen, candice, this information is from the oakland police department's crime reports, where you'll find the latest car break ins each week. during this one week in april, just ten car break ins. if that sounds too good to be true, it is. another day in oakland. it happens so quick. hey hey hey, another day hoping your car is spared. it happens all the time. it's blatant and it's out of control. according to our analysis of opd's raw crime data, people have reported about 20 car break ins every day. this year. but you might miss that detail if you looked at the department's weekly crime summary posted on their website.

it take this week in april, for instance, opd's public crime reports show just ten break ins. but if you look at the actual number of reports for that week, they show 58 break ins. and we found this troubling inconsistency has been going on for years. let's look at three years ago in 2021, in this first week of november, opd's weekly crime report shows 14 car break ins. the following week eight, then four, and then three. that's about 30 car break ins for the entire month of november. but when we look through the actual crime reports for that month, we found about 30 car break ins each day, meaning opd was underreporting the numbers by nearly 97. we asked oakland police to talk with us about this issue, but they declined and they told us they eventually true up all that extra crime data by adding the excess reports in their year to date columns. so although the

weekly and monthly stats may be wrong, they get it right by the end of the year, they say. our review shows that appears to be essentially true, but that makes the weekly and monthly crime numbers basically meaningless. police data are complicated, and they're often very messy. jacob kramer is a senior policing researcher. he worked as an analytics supervisor for the tucson police department and says law enforcement need timely, accurate data to respond to crimes for instance, to staff up patrols at car break in hotspots. so there's a lot of, missed opportunity when the data is not put together in a in an actionable or useful way for departments, but also for communities. so why is opd's crime data so far behind? in their statement, police told us they use an online tool called cop logic. it allows people to report crime incidents when it's most convenient to them, which means some people don't report right away. according to city officials like council member

janani ramachandran, the department is understaffed so they might enter information into the system long after some reports come in. and rather than try and add each to the week, it actually happened again, they just add them all into year. to date, we don't have the police record specialists and some of these, you know, behind the scenes, but incredibly important roles that aren't being filled a city staff report from february lists dozens of open civilian staff positions, including crime records, specialists, evidence technicians and crime analysts. it's infuriating to see that we can't get our basic records management systems down, to be able to present a clear picture of what's going on. agencies are understaffed nowadays, kramer says. although agencies want to be proactive, they often end up being reactive. and oakland, unfortunately, is an example of that. oakland officials tell us they recently hired a new hr

director to start filling those civilian police department vacancies. a big step to help those numbers add up. again with the investigative unit. i'm candace. when nbc. thank you candace, if you have a story for our investigative unit, you can call candace or you can reach us at 888996 tips. you can visit our website, nbc bay area.com/investigation. okay, let's turn our attention to the weather. vianey arana is here. as we inch toward the weekend and it's exciting. we start to smile a little more. i know right the middle of the week one thing that we've seen lingering all day long, though, starting since monday, really has been that marine layer, especially around the coastline. so we're going to be heading to the city. this is something that's going to stick around for quite some time now. let's talk about your temperatures. right now it's about 54 degrees and your microclimate forecast. we do have some changes ahead and it's going to include a change in those temperatures now. right now in san jose we're at about 59 degrees now. we had an overall pleasant warm day. we got up into the 70s and the 80s. right now we're in the 50s, but

we've still got some 60s. look at this and south san jose overall satellite radar painting, a mostly calm picture throughout. but you're going to notice in the next couple of hours overnight into early tomorrow, especially around that early morning commute, a chance for some drizzle around the coastline, primarily areas, you know, around san francisco, half moon bay stretching down through santa cruz as well, but also into portions of santa rosa, san rafael. and you'll notice the fog stretches further inland as well, including concord, fairfield. we had some low visibility, limited down through gilroy, less than five miles. we could see that once again heading into tomorrow, so be mindful of this now. as far as the wind speeds go, it's also been somewhat breezy at times. you probably notice your allergies acting up. we're going to see that breeze continue into tomorrow at around 8:00. you'll notice 1315 plus at times in the 20 plus mile per hour range, but your daytime highs for tomorrow are going to be once again on the warmer side for inland areas. san jose 82 degrees in through livermore 82. meanwhile

areas like hayward 75, oakland 71. in san francisco in those 60s. now the long range outlook right now does show the warmth lingers till about friday. but by the time we get to saturday, we do get the influence of a cooler air mass that's going to pass to our north. what that's going to do for us here is it's going to drop our daytime highs down by just a bit, but it'll be more noticeable in inland areas that saw those mid and upper 80s. we're going to be maxing out in the upper 70s heading into saturday and sunday. it will be much cooler. we're also going to notice the winds pick up, especially leading into sunday. by the time we inch closer towards next week, san francisco will also be in those mid 60s low 60s. by the time we get to sunday. so raj, your weekend forecast does look fantastic. it looks good, mild and nice. comfortable. thank you. vienna got it. up next. standing on your tippy toes. it's not going to work for this. how do you feed a giraffe? yes. we're going to show you the new device being used at the oakland zoo. and we have jimmy. hey,
