to contribute back to the city and keep the history of our first responders, all the different departments, alive. >> reporter: david cruz is with guardians of the city, an organization that preserves the history of first responders in san francisco. >> remembering our history, remembering the survivors, remembering those who perished is an incredible way for us to remember who we are as a city, how resilient we are as a city moving forward today. >> reporter: as events this week mark 118 years since the 1906 earthquake and fire, reminders of the impact on the city can be found everywhere, including the san francisco elks club lodge number 3. it was destroyed in 1906 and rebuilt at the location it stands in today, a place at the time to help house survivors. this week it hosts ceremonies to honor those who helped to protect pieces of that history. and even welcomes artifacts that remain part of the

collection. these events help david to remember the 1989 loma prieta earthquake which has a lasting impact on him. >> i lived here. i was a young child and it was a scary moment for me. that's what i think about when the next one hits, what our community will look like, the type of support that they'll need and how we'll continue to rebuild san francisco. >> reporter: the ruins of the city captured in photos like these serve as a window into the tragedy at the time, but volunteers like david with the guardians hope history provides just as powerful of visual for all of us to be prepared in the future. this morning city leaders and first responders held a commemoration ceremony at the fountain on market street which residents used as a meeting place after the quake. a wreath was laid in memory of senator dianne feinstein and those who died in the quake. afterwards

there was a procession to the gold painted fire hydrant on 20th and church streets at dolores park and after both the 1906 and 1989 earthquake the city has worked to try and make buildings as safe as possible in the event of another massive earthquake. in 2013 5,000 buildings were identified as needing reinforcements to withstand the next earthquake. then mayor ed lee signed legislation requiring all buildings with five or more residential units over a wood frame base level to be retrofitted. during the last 11 years the city says more than 90% of those identified soft story buildings have gotten the necessary improvements with 385 builds in the city still waiting to get fixed. two more companies are ending home insurance coverage here in california. according to the chronicle, trans-pacific insurance and tokyo marin american insurance are the latest to stop insuring homes in the state. nonrenewal notices will be going out to

inconsistencies in his answers to questions on tuesday. the usually talkative former president was noticeably tight lipped thursday morning. inside prosecutors asked he be held in contempt for seven more social media posts they said violated the judge's gag order, including one with a claim that liberal activists are lying in order to get on the jury. judge juan merchan is set to hear arguments on that next week. >> right now there's the gag order. the question is whether he can enforce the gag order and he's going to try to do it with admonition after admonition after warning and perhaps fines. >> reporter: the presumptive republican presidential nominee is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniels. trump denies wrongdoing and alls the case politically motivated. >> this is the first of trump's four criminal cases to go to trial and maybe the only one that sees a verdict reached before the november election. still to come here on cbs

americans are losing millions of dollars every year to criminals who steal money from their bank accounts, often through fraudulent wire transfers. as a result, u.s. senators are now pressing banks for answers about what they're doing to stop the scammers. anna werner has the details. >> reporter: in new york jennifer davis says she lost $25,000. >> i was horrified. i was devastated. >> reporter: in connecticut andrew simestuk said he lost 15,000-dollar. >> their job is to protect our investments. otherwise what's the point of putting it with a bank? >> reporter: in florida nicki kelly says she lost $48,000. >> my life has basically been

destroyed. >> reporter: money they all say stolen by crooks using fraudulent wire transfers. this is this was stolen from me and this is a crime. >> reporter: florida's karen rose says her ordeal began last year when she was in the hospital and her phone rang. the caller id? chase bank and a man said -- >> we need to verify a transaction that's been processed on your account. >> reporter: the transaction? seventy-one dollars spent at a walmart in new mexico. >> i said absolutely not. i said i'm in orlando. i'm not in new mexico. i haven't been to new mexico. >> reporter: then she says he claimed someone was trying to wire transfer money out of her account. he said he could stop it. he just needed to verify her identity. >> he said that he was going to send an authentication today to make sure it's me on the other end of the money. >> reporter: but it wasn't to verify her identity. instead the crooks used that code to authorize a wire transfer out of her account to their own, $27,000 she'd earned from

running her countertop installation business gone. what does that feel like? >> it totally rocked my world. >> reporter: not only, that but the fraudsters stole another $19,000 from an account she managed for a nonprofit industry group. >> that wasn't even my money. that was the members' money and i just was sick, was sick to my stomach. >> reporter: in a letter to her, chase acknowledged she was the victim of a scam, but nonetheless contended the wire transfers were authorized, that chase had received calls verifying the wires as valid with someone providing her debit card number and pin and further said, "we processed it as you instructed." essentially they're saying you did it. >> right, yeah. >> reporter: how do you feel about that? >> well, i think it's bizarre they're not taking responsibility for what is happening to their customers. >> reporter: chase told us it does reimburse customers for unauthorized transactions if it decides a customer had no part to play in the transaction, but in rose's case and those of

the other victims we interviewed, chase said it would not reimburse their money because despite them reporting to law enforcement they were conned, chase decided their actions were authorized. >> it's erroneous. >> they left me high and dry. i don't understand. >> reporter: consumer experts say the problem is the federal law that protects consumers in other banking transactions such as debit card transactions generally leaves wire fraud transactions exempt meaning they don't have to reimburse those losses. >> if they knew they were on the hook and would have to reimburse consumers, i think they would have stronger security procedures. >> reporter: the national consumer law center's karla sanchez adams says that loophole in banking regulations needs to be closed so they improve their security procedures. you say they could do a better job protecting consumers, but they aren't because there's no penalty for them. >> that is correct. >> reporter: but now the issue is getting the attention of members of congress. in this letter obtained exclusively by

cbs news, senate banking committee members wrote to four major banks, including chase, saying in part, "banks should make consumers whole for unauthorized transactions and for fraudulently-induced transactions like wire transfers where a consumer was deceived or manipulated into receiving or sending a transfer." >> it's on the companies that allow the scam. people should be able to have an expectation their money is safe. >> the committee wants information on the money from the banks on how much money was lost, but all four banks have declined to comme comment on the matter. chase said it's unreasonable to ask the banks to subsidize criminal activity and that the government and police should do more to stop and prosecute them. coming up next, an annual 4-20 celebration goes up in smoke, what to expect this

weekend at hippy hill. straight ahead in sports, why the san jose sharks are on the verge of franchise history. and we're going to the warriors future, one of the decisionmakers who matters. coming up on the cbs evening news for our heart of america, we're paying tribute to a rock and

area. they're asking marijuana fans to stay away. good look with that one. you'll see that haze all over golden gate park on saturday and it's not fog, right, paul? >> some of it will be fog. >> maybe the fog will help blow it away. you know what i mean? >> don't do the thing that you look forward to every year. >> save it for special occasions is. that what you're saying? >> volleyball. >> i'm sure that will work just fine. today was a great day to go to golden gate park. it was so lovely and warm, a rare warm day in the city. >> now the fog will roll back in, first the atmospheric fog and then the other kind as we head into the weekend. let's look at the way the big picture weather pattern is shifting. up and down temperatures the next few days, closer to normal because there's a ripple in the atmosphere moving through reducing the weight of the atmosphere on top of us

allowing the marine layer to expand and push touch farther inland the next couple nights, friday and saturday morning a foggy start for most of the bay and changes kicking in the second half of the weekend. sunday and monday there's another ridge, another area of more atmospheric in the upper levels of the atmosphere weighing down on top of us suppressing the marine layer and allows temperatures to warm back up sunday and monday. it's a mix in transition today with 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, 50s along the coast, 60s in san francisco and 70s farther and farther away from the coast, 81 degrees in concord, just sort of 80 degrees in san jose and santa rosa. that fog will be pretty widespread heading through the rest of tonight into early tomorrow morning. on futurecast the fog shows up bright white. the clouds farther up in the atmosphere, a duller shade of gray, a lot of the bright white pushing into the inland valleys and retreating to the coast midday and temperatures warm up away from the coast. low 50s to begin the day and then

temperatures climb into 5 to 7 degrees above average inland, mid- to upper 70s for the santa clara valley, 77 in san jose, not as warm in fremont and redwood city, low 70s and mid- to upper 70s common inland and the east bay, upper 50s in half moon bay, low 60s in san francisco, 5 degrees cooler than today and temperatures in the north bay because of the morning fog a little slower to warm, low 70s for highs in the afternoon, not bad for april, similar temperatures in store for us saturday. the next warm-up kicks in sunday and monday. you can see the ten-day temperature trend for san jose. temperatures spike monday and a bigger drop heading into the middle of next week. that will be accompanied by at least a chance of showers, but it's not much of a chance. next week's day-by-day rain chances, a little butch up to the 20 to 30% range next thursday night and friday, nothing to get too excited about. i wouldn't adjust any outdoor plans. we'll keep you

updated on that. no rain over the weekend, finally dry conditions across the entire bay area other than maybe coastal drizzle. inland temperatures back up to around 80 sunday and monday and the big drop the middle of next week. temperatures around the bay warm up a little sunday and monday. sunday looks like the warmer and sunnier half of the weekend. we haven't had too many dry weekends in 2024. this does look like one of them, just some early morning fog potentially adding up as some coastal drizzle. temperatures aren't changing a lot along the coast while everybody else warms up for the second half of the weekend. >> thanks, paul. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00. let's switch over to sara donchey. >> hi, ryan. coming up at 6:00, the ground is sinking in the central valley threatening the lifeline for water deliveries. they built a whole new canal to solve the problem, but the pricey solution is sinking, too. we're getting reaction from the west portal neighborhood where they've just announced new safety changes after the crash that killed a family of four, why some business owners say the

want him back. i'm hopeful we can make it happen. it's a deal. both sides got to be good with it. we'll work through that, hopeful and optimistic. >> i do think there's tremendous value in the three of them being warriors for life. it matters that kobe was a laker for life. that's meaningful to the laker franchise. i think it would be incredible if these three guys could play their whole careers here. in case you missed it, st. mary's guard ada mahaney entered the transfer portal while the warriors season was ending in sacramento. the gaels guard grew up down the road in moraga and went to campolindo high school. the san jose sharks wrap up the regular season tonight in calgary and finished with the league's worst record the first time since 1991/'92, the franchise's first season in the nhl. die, die, die. >> oh, it's been a minute

my boys, they'd still be fighting. there is no way that would happen in my house, but that was a very sweet moment. >> what do you do? would you take the ball and split it right down the middle? >> no. i would take it for myself and say this is mine, put it on a very high shelf. don't mess with mama. >> thanks, vern. still ahead at 5:00, another of the big four u.s. sports facing a betting scandal, how the nba is dealing with a player accused of illegally betting on games and the other names now being investigated for similar allegations.

he felt ill. the bet was frozen because of the unusual activity. porter was also found to have placed 13 bets on nba games, including bets on his own team to lose, although he doesn't play in those games. the league's collective bargaining agreement forbids any player who directly or indirectly wagers money or anything of value on any game or event. yesterday commissioner adam silver took the rare step of banning porter from the league for life writing, "there is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of nba competition for our fans, our teams, and everyone associated with our sport." >> reporter: betting content is everywhere. the nba has official sports betting partners with ads on nearly every broadcast. commissioner silver supports a regulated betting market. >> i think at least in a
