6:00 pm
to get the issue on thenovember ballot. how the year's long battle could get extended again. and it includes everybody. vote on the ordinance. that's all i ask. plus the total solar eclipse is almost upon us. what makes this occurrence so work related calls while you're not on the clock, one bay area lawmaker says he's got the solution. >> every single person deserves some amount of time when they could just be with their family when they are not expected to respond. >> good evening, i'm kenny choi in for brian and andrea who have the evening off. we begin in concord where landlords are pushing back. the landlords are proposing a ballot referendum saying let the voters decide. john ramos reports from a rally held by housing activists looking to bring attention to the issue. >> reporter: after seven years of often angry debate, the city of concord passed a new rent control and eviction ordinance, much to the delight of tenants rights advocates. but now the new law is on hold as landlords
6:01 pm
will scramble to try to put the matter before the voters. >> by preventing the high rent increases, renters will be able to save money for other needs like groceries and medicine. >> reporter: the rally at this concord park sounded like a campaign for rent control, but that's a battle that has already been won. the question is who will win the war? >> this was approved by city council four to one. the wealthy realty groups are putting this on hold. this will create for renters to keep getting more rent increases or just evictions. so we want people, the residents of concord to know what's going on with the city. >> vice mayor? >> yes. >> mayor? >> yes. and with that this item is closed. [ cheering ] >> reporter: in february the
6:02 pm
city approved new rent controls and just cause eviction protections for renters. they made it clear there needed to be more control over landlords. there it's been a rough night. it's been a rough seven years. we gave it seven years without acting and quite frankly it didn't work. >> we wouldn't be having this conversation if colleagues and friends or whatever who own property weren't harassing tenants or abusing their rights. >> and what i say to that is penalize those people. >> reporter: they think he went too far. the concord resident and real estate broker says the city's tenant ordinance went from eight pages to 30, and now gives eviction protection to people living in all residential buildings, including single-family homes. homeowners could lose all control over their properties, so she is spearheading an
6:03 pm
effort to put concord's new ordinance on the ballot. >> my feeling was that we asked them to put this to a vote. let the citizens of concord both tenants and landlords. i'll let the citizens of concord, which includes everybody vote on the ordinance. that's all we ask and that is what the referendum was about. >> reporter: by law the ordinance is on hold for 30 days while he tries to raise enough signature to qualify the referendum. if she can't, the ordinance goes into effect immediately. that's why the tenant's rights activists were caravaning through the streets on sunday afternoon, trying to raise awareness and support if it should come down to a vote. she says she is okay with that. >> reporter: if they vote as the majority that they want rent control and this ordinance, then so be it. we will need to live with it. because we are in it. that's a democracy. if they vote it down, then that should tell the council something. >> reporter: if the referendum is successful, the entire ordinance would be scrapped and
6:04 pm
the city council would be back to square one on a tenant protection law they spent seven years creating. >> proponents have until april 18 to gather 7,200 signatures to qualify this measure for the november ballot. and coming up in our next hour, one way to make housing more affordable is to build a lot more of it. but it's not happening fast enough across the bay area. we crunched the numbers on what's causing projects to get stuck. a solo car crash in concord killed a 9-year-old child early this morning. police are still looking for the driver who ran away after the crash. this happened around 5:00 this morning. police say that the driver veered off interstate 680 flipping over several times. the driver got out and ran. the 9-year-old passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. four other passengers were taken to the hospital with major injuries. in the south bay, an investigation at the santa clara county jail after a 27-year-old was found dead in
6:05 pm
his cell yesterday morning. the coroner's office is working to determine a cause of death. so far the sheriff's office says there is no evidence of foul play. mountainview police say that the two boys reported missing yesterday have been found and are safe. police say that 38-year-old taylor wu took the children from missouri. 9-year-old daniel wu and david wu. taylor wu was also found safely, but police did not share the details or circumstances. all right, a total solar eclipse is less than 24 hours away. here in the bay area, we won't get the full spectacle, but brian hackney shows us even the partial view is still worth checking out. >> i'm dr. jeff matthews. here we are on the foothill college campus with the foothill observatory here on the left. the crowd center for innovation
6:06 pm
here on the right. >> and while jeff is the professor of astronomy, he has never seen this, a total solar eclipse. unfolding over north america on monday. >> i will not be in the bay area. i'm traveling to where i will be able to see totality. i'm so excited. >> reporter: that means traveling to 130-mile wide path of totality that in the u.s. stretches from southern texas across the midwest up through new england and out the canadian mirror times. outside of that path it is just a partial solar eclipse like the bay area saw back in 2017. >> even the partial eclipse is just fantastic. i loved it. >> with a little bit of focusing. >> reporter: that's what will happen in the bay area on monday. >> oh my god. >> reporter: a partial eclipse. >> i think that it will be. it's not the sun, is it? >> it is the sun. >> it is? >> and that is the only thing bright enough to get through the filter is the sun itself.
6:07 pm
>> reporter: at 10:14 a.m. on monday, the partial eclipse begins over the bay area. reaching maximum partial eclipse at 11:13 a.m. >> from the bay area, imagine you pick up the cookie, taking a bite out of it. that's how the sun will appear. if you're looking at it through a filter. >> reporter: and you must use one of these filters. solar filtered glasses are the most common. >> the future is so bright. i got to wear shades. >> reporter: if you don't have glasses? how about a punch card. >> this is actually my favorite way to look at the sun. because it's the simplest. you can just project an image of the sun onto another surface. if you don't have something like this handy, just use a nearby tree. the leaves from the tree will naturally produce a series of pinholes. each of those will produce a little tiny image of the sun. >> reporter: while jeff knows exactly where the path of totality is. >> oh, i'm so looking forward to it.
6:08 pm
>> reporter: we don't know exactly what the weather will be like. clear skies are anything, but certain along the path of totality. >> well, one of the first lessons that the astronomers learned is that weather wins. >> reporter: and always the year 2034. >> you're right. >> reporter: the next time a total solar eclipse will visit the continental u.s. >> yeah, we are definitely looking forward to that. while oakland's space and science center is one of several spots around the bay area holding a special party for the eclipse. visitors can watch the eclipse and take part in some special science demonstrations as well. they will provide some eclipse safe glasses, and you will also have the chance to look at the interstellar spectacle through a telescope. >> it will remind us that we're a part of a much larger universe, that there are things going on out there without any human involvement at all. and that certainly is kind of something to stop and think
6:09 pm
about things off the earth. >> we will have complete coverage of the eclipse throughout the day tomorrow starting on cbs mornings. co-anchor tony dokilpo will be live. at 11:00 a.m., you can join norah o'donnell for a cbs news special report. total eclipse of the heartland. and you can join us tomorrow for eclipse watch. our special coverage of the solar eclipse. it all starts at 10:00 a.m. streaming on cbs news bay area. you can find us on the free cbs news app or on pluto tv. still ahead at 6:00, a coastal community left without any nearby medical emergency care. why the long-time representatives say that the reasons for the shutdown just aren't adding up. you simply cannot leave people without any emergency center on the coast side. and later six months of fighting in gaza with no end in
6:10 pm
sight, where the war could be heading as israel pulls some troops back from the southern part of the gaza strip. and we had another day with the real pretty cloud show out there. time lapse from the top of mount diablo will show us that view. tomorrow things start changing. noticeably warmer tomorrow by about 5 to 7 degrees. but thursday, thursday, we are doing 80s for inland locations. i'll show you that, and then we'll talk about how that quickly comes to an end as well. the forecast is next.
6:11 pm
6:12 pm
people in one coastal community are without an emergency room and will be for months for repairs, recent
6:13 pm
storm damage. but as max darrow reports, the district's long-time congresswoman says that is not sustainable and demanding more detailed answers. >> reporter: it may be small, but seton medical center coastside is home to the only emergency room in the san mateo coast. >> you simply cannot leave people without any emergency? on the coastside. >> reporter: the associate chief operating officer for seton medical center says the closure of seton medical center coast side is only temporary, necessary to take the building repairs. encouraging them to seek care at seton's daly city
6:14 pm
campus. >> depending on where you live on the coastside, that could take minimally 45 minutes to get there. that's simply not acceptable. >> reporter: eshoo is demanding more transparency and specifics. she wrote this letter to the california department of public health. >> i want to know under what circumstances they made this decision. how can it be that all of these people on the coastside are left without any emergency services whatsoever. i mean are they rebuilding the building? what are they doing? they need to be transparent, fully transparent. >> reporter: seton's associate coo says the medical center considered keeping the standby emergency department open during repairs and renovations. however, this was not feasible because of the extent and nature of the damages to the facility and that will require the ancillary services that will not be available during construction. >> a lot of questions will need
6:15 pm
to be asked and answered as i said. full transparency. >> reporter: in her letter, she copied the california attorney general to ensure all laws are being followed and enforced. >> a for profit corporation bought seton medical center in 2020 after the hospital that was previously owned by a catholic organization, filed for bankruptcy. we reached out to the state department of public health and we are waiting to hear back. highway one is back open through capitola after caltrans demolished an overpass last night. they took down the bridge as part of the plant eventually widening the freeway. adding a bus lane to it and creating a pedestrian overpass. as for the capitola avenue bridge, that's suppose to be replaced next year. about 50 miles down the road near castle rock highway 1 still has a big hole in it from a collapse last weekend. caltrans continues to take
6:16 pm
convoys passed it at 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day. and to finish some temporary safety construction yesterday and then we'll start drilling anchors this week. a check of our forecast with darren. a lot of people are still excited to see that total eclipse here in the bay area. that partial eclipse. we won't see the dramatic affect. but weather still matters? >> the weather for us is easy. we will have clear skies for it tomorrow. i'll show you that. we'll pause that moment on the futurecast in one second. 11:13 a.m. tomorrow for us. here is today by the way, the scene of mt. diablo. we're looking at the leftover clouds. it's been beautiful watching time lapse over the last few days. we'll have far less of that tomorrow. here is why i say that as we watch the futurecast. there are a few scattered showers out there in the far north bay mountains. not really holding together amounting to much and they will fall apart. then we'll be done with whatever light rain there is out there
6:17 pm
from the current situation. look at the time stamp. that's tomorrow at 11:15. no clouds. so protective eye wear is a must and as long as you've got it, you'll be able to enjoy the show. if you don't, you'll remember all the tips from brian's package with so many other ways to see the reflection of that in a safe way. that is far more important than anything else tomorrow, making sure that nobody will damage their eyes tomorrow. okay, there's a way that it will play out in the next few days. but instead it's what we would have is another version of weather whiplash coming our way this week. so we're going to warm up really big. for like thursday, wednesday, thursday, and then we're going to cool right back down again by the end of this week. and there is another chance for light rain. just to visualize this. here is where we are over the weekend. temperatures a bit below average. but watch the complete reversal here as we would get into wednesday and thursday. those colors are now trending well into the warmer than average. let's start out with the example for tomorrow. i'll show you tomorrow's daytime highs first. and these are already noticeably warmer than today. we are going back to the
6:18 pm
low 70s tomorrow already. and so san jose, you will top out at 72. a lot of the numbers we're looking at out here is two sets of numbers in this because i want you to more so see how much warmer these numbers are than right now. because in general it is anywhere from about 5 to 10 degrees warmer. it's warmer than sunday afternoon. we are looking at monday afternoon here. the comparison. let's lose the actual numbers. instead, let's just do the math on it. it will be 8 degrees warmer in the city tomorrow. santa rosa, your numbers will go up far tomorrow. take a look at the whole map. let's get you down to the south bay. you'll see the numbers down there. also going to warm up about 11 degrees. that'll get us back up to the low 70s, and just like average for this time of the year. you're going to see temperatures climbing into the low 80s and maybe some mid-80s
6:19 pm
on there. one other thing to discuss is how we're going to cool back down again almost as quickly after the big warm up. and by friday, the next system will try to get in here, nothing happens over the next few days. it's a little too early to get specific. but what we're going to do is generalize friday and saturday with a chance for rain. it doesn't look like a lot either way no matter how the system comes through, but it's rain regardless, right back here and you will see partly cloudy on there and a look at the change in numbers. and back down to the low 60s by friday. out to you. >> thanks, darren. the warriors are a big thing. and it came

get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. hello from chase center where the warriors are big. i could hear the crowd behind me where they came before they began. they beat the houston rockets and their contention, which means that they would have secured that spot. all right, to college hoops. the national championship, trying to lead iowa to their first national title. camilla cordoso standing in their way. clark came out swinging scoring 18 points in the first quarter and the hawkeyes jumped out to an 11-point lead and they regrouped in the second quarter before the half. picking clark, going the other way for the
6:23 pm
layup. gamecocks led by three at the break. in the third quarter, they started to get some separation. tessa johnson drilled that three with a career high of 19 points. and loving this and that they will sing it later and they would prove to be the difference as they would grab 18 offensive rebounds with the putback as she finished with 13 and 17 and it wasn't enough where they won it 87-75 and the first team with a perfect season since uconn in 2016. >> i want to personally thank caitlin clark for lifting up our sport. she carried a heavy load for our sport. so caitlin clark if you're out there, you are one of the goats of our game, and we appreciate you. >> to be honest, look, after last year, i was kind of like well how do we top doing what
6:24 pm
we did last year? and to be honest, this year was probably more special than last year. the teams we had to get through meant to be in this position and to battle. i mean south carolina is just so good, like there is only so much you can do. >> you can book it, caitlin clark set to be the number one overall pick in the wnba draft in this season. let's pivot to baseball, giants at oracle park in front of another sellout crowd. this guy must have read the calendar wrong. the dodgers aren't in town until next month. he admitted he struggled with the sun last night. today, he took on the wall. lee lost. that'll allow fernando tatis to score all the way from first. still getting used to his new surroundings. logan webb managed to limit the damage, turning two double plays behind him. and when we would pick things up, giants
6:25 pm
down 2-1 with that ground ball they needed. kim couldn't make the tag on jorge soler at second and that would allow the tieing run to score where he was out in that ballpark earlier this week where he looks like a linebacker. and that extended the inning, delivering the big hit where they came with two outs and that is the difference where they beat them 3-2 and they take the series. he makes the season debut tomorrow night. i mean this fan put on their sunday best to watch the green and gold in detroit. hitting the triple in the first time up. he had a four-hit day finishing shy of the cycle. he pitched five scoreless innings to pick up the first of the year and racing over, beating the tigers 7-1 as they win the
6:26 pm
series and they continue in texas. he hits one wide off the tee and watch what happens. the volunteer trying to avoid contact and falling backwards. give them credit. they did pop up and marked that ball. and the heater ended on the 73rd hole when he put that second shot in the water. he rolled in that winning putt where he led wire to wire, picking up the second tour win. more importantly, he'll get the final spot in the masters. kenny choi, warriors are up big time here at chase center where it will be a fun night here in san francisco with the giants win and the a's win and potentially a warriors win. >> the win will sound good to me. thanks as always. appreciate it. coming up in our next half hour. businesses, they were closing their doors before they decided to skip town after this season. the concerns from oakland residents over the

now at 6:30, it's been six months since the hamas attack
6:30 pm
that sparked the current war in the gaza strip. civilian deaths continue to climb and hostages are still being held. this weekend israel is reducing their military presence in parts of gaza. well this comes just days after biden the update. >> reporter: six months after the deadly october 7 attack that sparked the war, growing frustration in israel. those whose loved ones are being held by hamas say the israeli government need to do more. >> this is the time to bring them back. all of them as soon as possible. >> reporter: she lost her two daughters who were born in los angeles in the october 7 attack. >> i will be looking for a way to keep on going without him. it's really difficult. it is really difficult. >> reporter: the prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel is a step away from victory. sunday morning, israeli troops started to reduce their presence in southern gaza. israeli spokesman told cbs news it is an evolution of the war effort and not a partial
6:31 pm
withdraw. >> the indications that we have been getting is largely rest and refit for troops that have been on the ground. >> reporter: several days ago president joe biden held an intense call with netanyahu following the fatal air strikes on seven aid workers from the central kitchen. >> and he was clear and if there are not changes and things don't get better, then we'll need to make changes of our own. >> reporter: dozens of congress members including former house speaker nancy pelosi have signed the letter urging them to reconsider sending billions of dollars in weapons to israel. >> and cease-fire negotiations are expected to resume with cia director bill burns attending. gaza's ministry of health says they have killed more than 33,000 palestinians so far. it is estimated that more than 200 workers have also been killed to date. on capitol hill, the house of representatives is set to vote this week on a resolution that would oppose a cease-fire and also voice support for
6:32 pm
israel's right to defend itself. and it could put democrats in an awkward position especially if they were critical of israel's conduct. here in the bay area, handful of demonstrations marking six months since the start of the war in palo alto today. people held a vigil for the children of gaza. so far more than 12,000 palestinian children have been killed with countless more at risk of starvation. in lafayette. another community vigil along a highway 24 overpass for the 133 remaining hamas hostages. it's the same group that has been using the overpass for various protests for more than 20 years. turning to oakland now. the a's announcement to leave oakland after the season certainly hurts sports fans, but it's also another major economic glow for the hegenberger business corridor. some residents tell da lin that the a's departure are setting the hegenberger area back decades.
6:33 pm
>> retired city officials tell me it took decades to invest in east oakland and the corridor. many people are angry that years of hard work vanished in a short amount of time as businesses, they leave the city. the a's will soon join a growing list of businesses that have left the road area. the move will result in job losses. >> we don't necessarily want to call it an economic desert, but it's starting to look that way. >> it is absolute frustration and it even goes through at times a level of anger. >> reporter: this is how the hegenberger shopping center looked eight years ago with a lot of shoppers and cars. the parking lot was always full on game days. but the business corridor has seen a decline of
6:34 pm
recent years. that started with the departure of wal-mart in 2016. and two starbucks, a subway, in-n-out, and a black bear diner. two restaurants have closed their dining rooms to do drive through only. this is how the shopping center looks now and fences in the quiet to prevent people from doing donuts. >> and you look at it today, they are leaving here like the city is on fire. >> reporter: axle church is near the coliseum. bishop bob jackson says it took decades to bring vitality to the hegenberger corridor. while the a's are leaving over a different reason, the result is the same. fewer tax dollars and fewer jobs for people in east oakland. >> just helping crime escalate even more. without the jobs, without making the money, what are you going to do? how are you going to live? so crime seems to be the only thing
6:35 pm
that's working in the city. >> reporter: neighbors believe it may take many years to revitalize the area. >> especially like a younger woman coming to the gym here is scary. i make extra sure i look my car. i look always, it's scary. >> reporter: the city has to improve public safety or more businesses will continue to leave. >> i don't they it is over. i think you need some optimism and some visionaries who would like to come back to make them tough and strong like they were before. >> the a's are scheduled to play their last home game on september 16. it feels like it just started, but the crab fishing season ends tomorrow. dealing with later and later starts over the past several years. now the state is cutting them short for the wails returning to california's coastal waters
6:36 pm
to feed. cities are under pressure to build more housing. one of the major hurdles is the time it takes to get a permit. we crunch some of the numbers recently, which shows what our builders are up against. and then we can shape the outside of the building. >> reporter: but thing up booms isn't a problem. cork tocks to a halting height when building permits aren't issued in a timely matter. >> it is difficult to get an inspection scheduled. it's not impossible, but takes time. >> reporter: housing experts say building and planning departments are still facing staffing shortages, leading to a backlog of permits to be processed. and longer waits for on-side inspections. >> i don't see any problem once you would get to building inspection. but the permit process itself is laboring. >> if you don't have enough
6:37 pm
inspectors, it might take a month. >> more than 10,000 permits have to be issued to meet the requirements, to build 82,000 homes between 2021 and 2031. the urban regional for san jose are down a lot. they show the total of 240 housing unit buildings were estimated in 2022. last year it dropped to roughly 136. this year through the february, only a total of six. >> the reason that they are down because they're not pulling hurdles. the high cost of labor, materials, and breath rates are making investors stay on the sidelines.
6:38 pm
>> that'll make these bigger 500-unit projects in feasible financially. >> reporter: there is a way to cut into wait times for smaller projects and larger ones too. they believe the limited number of permitting staff on constitutional projects rather than small construction like pond single-family home with streamline the process for all parties. >> you put thong that are going to move the needle. there are all these boxes to check. if one of them doesn't get checked, the plan sits there. if they are in traffic, it's the slowest car that will determine the speed of traffic. >> reporter: it is a waiting game, pond, builders, residents can't afford in the midst of a housing crisis. >> housing and urban development shows more permits were down year over year in 2023. in other bay area

we are just over 16 hours away from the total solar eclipse. and how it will affect wildlife. some animals like bees will think it is nighttime, but two eclipses in the last seven years. researchers will be given a unique chance to see how
6:47 pm
creatures react to changes in daylight. >> there is a lot of evidence that crickets will respond pretty quickly to this change in light. so by listening, we're engaging a whole new group of folks in the scientific process. and don't forget to join us tomorrow for an eclipse watch for special coverage of the solar eclipse that will all start at 10:00 a.m. streaming on cbs news bay area. you can find us on the free cbs news app or on pluto tv. and let's get a check of the forecast. and what are we going to see even though it's not a total solar eclipse. i highly recommend taking a look, of course, if you have those glasses. >> we can't stress that part enough. hopefully that word has gotten out too and people are
6:48 pm
ready to enjoy this. a path that will move through the heart of the nation. starting in texas and going out through maine. and the important aspect of this is going to be will you be able to see it there and there are some weather concerns if you take a look at texas in particular that there will be some rain moving through, that it might be a bit of a difficult show for a good swath of texas. the upper midwest will be the best opening. so we have been looking at this for month in terms of what's your probability for having sunshine here in texas and it is always the winner for having the best chance for clear skies. but it will turn out that the way the weather is moving through that part of the country in the next 24 hours, that it might be reversed. you'll be better off
6:49 pm
going to the upper midwest. doesn't mean they will miss out on the show there that you will get it and the pictures will be quite dramatic coming across the country. and this is our view tomorrow when a mere 34% of the sun is covered. this is such a different experience for those in the path of totality because you'll get a full solar eclipse and a very different experience. the show is different. the ability to see the sun's corona is different and they come out, the whole thing. a look at our forecast for tomorrow at 11:13, our skies are clear. the thing about monday is in addition to being sunny and having a real nice looking day maybe a few clouds in the south bay showing up the latest run of the high-rise forecast. but the real thing about tomorrow that i want to talk about, it's going to be noticeably warmer. daytime highs tomorrow are going to start cracking the 70s again. we start this warm up tomorrow because you're going to be anywhere from 5 to 10
6:50 pm
degrees warmer for daytime highs. but tomorrow is the day when you notice the change has begun. in terms of this warmup, which is going to peak on thursday. thursday is really the day when you're going to feel this the most. so we're going to look at that in your seven-day forecast in one moment, and i will show you how much more. we have a lot of low 80s coming our way for many inland locations. a look at one other item on the forecast, which is how we're going to do a cool down just as dramatic on the other side of it. when we would look at the bigger picture that we can see there is a system coming out of the pacific. i'll put this into the long range and just get us ahead to friday, right there. friday into saturday. so after we do our big warmup on wednesday and thursday, that's just going to take those 80s and clear them right out. bring us back down to the 60s. and give us a chance for some rain. we'll have a few light showers that will likely move across for friday and saturday. so let's look at that seven-day forecast first for our inland micro climate. and for our
6:51 pm
numbers here. you can see the low 80s here show up, turning to the low 60s. the rain on friday and saturday does not look big. it will be pretty light rainfall amounts. so it doesn't look like a significant rainmaker, but looks like a significant change in terms of the way it's going to feel. even if that bay is not doing 80s, you'll do the mid-70s by wednesday. all right, back to you. >> thank you. up next, you feel like it is impossible to disconnect from work even after your shift is over. how a bay area lawmaker is trying to - [narrator] at kpix, we're taking weather to the next level. - we can show not just what's happening at ground level, but we can show what's happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere. let's lift the clouds off of ground level and talk... - it really spotlights how unique the geography is here. - it's dynamic. it's different. as i lift this, you can actually see it in real-time. this is shaking it up for me as an meteorologist. - [narrator] the bay area's only virtual weather studio. next level weather. only on kpix and pix+.
