4:04 am
cannot wait important matter that people need to understand. people are dying every day. it's our inaction is costing the loss of life. california department of health now says more than 5700 people died in 2021 from overdoses linked to fentanyl. that's about 110 people every week. president biden is expected to announce he is running for re election next week. he's considering making the announcement on tuesday, which marks four years to the day since he entered the 2020 race. for now, the white house is staying quiet about the election. not going to comment on 2024 or potential plans or whatever is going to happen in 2020 president biden does face some challenges, including a new associated press poll showing just a quarter of americans want him to run again. but there are signs he's building support among democrats, 81% of respondents in a recent survey said that they would probably or
4:05 am
definitely support him either democrats other democrats who have announced a white house bid include robert kennedy jr and writer marianne williamson. now on the republican side, californian and conservative talk show host larry elder says he will run for president he is joining a crowded gop primary field that includes former president donald trump and former united nations ambassador nikki haley. elder will speak at the iowa faith and freedom coalition this weekend challenged governor newsom last in last year's recall election. time is 404. the warriors won a big game last night. you're happy. they beat the sacramento kings. transition. curry loan. three the team returned home to chase center to win 1 14 97, the dubs were playing without draymond green was suspended by the nba for that incident in
4:06 am
game two. also without gary payton, second who was out with an illness. but even without those key players, steph curry had a huge game 36 points and andrew wiggins stepped up, adding 20 points, helping the warriors hold that lead for all 48 minutes of the game. pretty bluntly. if we lost this game, it's pretty much over. so you gotta understand the moment and we gave ourselves life. the biggest thing is we've been here before. we've been in a situation where momentum doesn't necessarily carry over from game to game unless you you know, executed the same level so you know, it's just one game. um but it was a big game for sure. come on. loony also had a big game in raymond's absence, 20 rebounds and nine assists in that wind for my former bruin, i hear you all right time is 406 pumped up. warriors fans packed chase center that was a big difference to game three against the sacramento kings. it was

4:08 am
good matchup. energy is great. you you feel that the whole crowd and how everybody's excited. i think everyone feels their urgent the urgency of this game. and some other warriors fans drove a long distance to support the warriors, including the family who drove 3.5 hours from clovis, then plan to drive right back after the game. warriors fans hope the team can just keep that momentum and keep winning. so here's a quick look at the warriors schedule for the upcoming games. game four sunday at 12 30 chase center. game five is next wednesday night. seven pm in sacramento and if it's necessary necessary. game six would be next friday. back and chase center. oakland mayor xiang tao says she's angry and disappointed that the ayes have signed a binding agreement to buy land for a new ballpark in las vegas. it's been what it looks like from the outside that they've always wanted to leave the city of oakland. oakland is

slower than what they expected to be rather where they want it to be. bart's board director now reporting wednesday, april 19th that was the highest number of passengers since last september , bart sayesday. but even that r is still only of pre pandemic levels. with that part, officials say they didn't need to plan any extra trains for san francisco's 4 20 events. plenty of capacity because our ridership is still well below the levels that we had before the pandemic. the bay area had a very busy thursday, along with thousands showing out for 4 20 events, the city hosted a giants game at oracle park. a must win game three for the golden state warriors in the first round of the nba playoffs at chase center . now, the numbers for thursday aren't in just yet. but bart officials are hoping all of those events all those events rather combined. we'll give them

5:05 am
public safety committee, wanted to wait to hold the hearing in june to put a spotlight on the issue. but he changed his mind after lawmakers from both sides demanded that the hearing be held sooner. i think an acknowledgement of how many of our colleagues realized that this is an urgent issue that cannot wait important matter that people need to understand that people are dying every day . it's our inaction is costing e health department says more than 5700 people died in 2021 from overdoses linked to fentanyl. that's about 110 people every week. president biden is expected to announce he is running for re election next week. he's considering making the announcement on tuesday, which marks four years to the day since he entered the 2020 race. for now, the white house is staying quiet about the election. not going to comment on 2024 or potential plans or
5:06 am
whatever is going to happen in 2024. the president does not does face some challenges, though, including a new associated press poll showing just a quarter of americans want him to run again. but there are signs that he is building support among democrats, 81% of respondents in a recent survey said that they would probably or definitely support him. other democrats who have announced the white house bed include robert f. kennedy kennedy jr and writer marianne williamson. show host larry elder says he will run for president he's joining a crowded gop primary field that includes former president donald trump and former united nations ambassador nikki haley. elder will speak at the iowa faith and freedom coalition this weekend. you might remember he challenged governor newsom last year in the recall election. alright, our time is 506. the golden state warriors won a big game last night, defeating the sacramento kings. when such a key factor on
5:07 am
the interior and on the glass warriors. zone in the third quarter defensive rebound but you don't threaten outside the team returned home to the chase center to win 1 14 97 beautiful shots. they're playing without draymond green, as we know was suspended by the n b. a for that incident in game two. also without gary payton, second who was out with an illness, but there's that curry flury bit of that, even without those key players, steph curry had a huge game 36 points, andrew wiggins stepped up, adding 20 points, helping the warriors hold onto that lead all game pretty bluntly. if we lost this game is pretty much over. so you gotta understand the moment and we gave ourselves life. the biggest thing is we've been here before . we've been in a situation where momentum doesn't necessarily carry over from game to game unless you you know, executed the same level so you
5:08 am
know it's just one game, but it was a big game for sure. come on. loony also had a big game and raymond's absence, 20 rebounds and nine assists in that win, given time now, 507. meantime california says this year it will fill 100% of the water request from cities and farms thanks to an unusually wet winter time, the department of water resources plans to deliver all of the requested water where it's facilities serving 27 million californians and 750,000 acres of farm. farmland it's the first time the department has done that since 2006. just last year, water allocations were cut to five resent when california was dealing with a third year of a drought. five away. it is the time speaking of that we have some pretty nice weather. i think for the weekend. let's check in with roberta gonzalez. yes, it's hard to believe that just back in october we were in
5:09 am
extremely exceptional drought conditions. right and i have often had people ask me. can we get out of the drought and one winter and the answer was always no. and we did. i figured it was going to take us three years to get out of this extreme drought situation, but you know what we went through in december. january february and even early march to take a look at your drawing update for this april 21st where you just see the green? that's because we're doing great. we are out of the drought, but insists q at modi counties to the north of us and also certainly the desert southwest, including san bernardino, riverside and imperial counties. still with some restrictions due to abnormally or moderate drought conditions, but pam is one of the first ones to jump on that soapbox and say we always must served 24 7 12 months a year. she is my hero. alright here you go. the skyline of oakland clear skies official sunrise is at 6 26, and when it does rise, boys

5:11 am
when i was mowing my lawn the other night alright, here we go. we have a series of areas of low pressure as well to the north of us going to remain there until about sunday when it flattens our ridge of high pressure. and encourages our marine layer. so today and tomorrow will be the warmest day of the few coming up. 62 beaches to 82 degrees and our inland areas. statewide dry skies from top to bottom. we're talking 95 degrees today in palm springs, otherwise, 88 degrees in los angeles and is currently 28 degrees at 6200 ft in the greater lake tahoe area, and we're going to highs there today. mid and high fifties boy , the snowmelt is already occurring. we don't want temperatures too much over 60, or that encourages a rapid meltdown for us temperatures are going up 82. to santa rosa today . 82 also in fairfield. we have numbers stacking up for the seventies around the central bay drop in the sixties around the seashore, but that's warmer than yesterday. 68 degrees your

5:18 am
just as a user shared something from someone with a blue checkmark, you could be sure or it was from who they said they were since lodging twitter blew some users, including high profile celebrities, major news organizations and the white house say they won't pay for twitter to verify accounts at least one san francisco board supervisor says she won't pay for verification and has decided to leave twitter altogether. all the more to just see how twitter arrival under the leadership of elon musk or ownership in elon musk. it just didn't it just gives me less and less confidence that i should return in that space and that that they that space is no longer efficient communications tool for someone like me who can now mean two things, either. the account already had a blue check and twitter is allowing them to keep it or the account holder has a paid subscription. lamonica peters ktvu fox two

5:32 am
degrees in livermore. yes these are our current temperatures. as you notice. it's much more mild than it was yesterday at this hour when we were in the thirties and forties. now here's what you can expect. our temperatures have been climbing each day this week and today and tomorrow will pan out to be the warmest days so far this spring season. you know, we've been so unseasonably cool today will top off at 82, that's right low eighties. and inland areas. santa rosa fairfield, also to the south and gilroy, otherwise mid seventies comin up and down the peninsula sixties beaches 68 in san francisco and across the bay 74 degrees in oakland. we have the extended forecast featuring your pollen reported that's coming up in just a matter of minutes. right now. cal cats castaneda sal castaneda sorry about that. there. tell me you watch the whole game last night. i did? yeah i didn't watch the whole game and you know? yes it started at seven. i don't remember what time it
5:33 am
ended at, but i'm not gonna miss a warrior's playoff game. if this were, you know, game three of the regular season. well, maybe i would just hear about it later, but it's the playoffs playoffs. alright let's go out and take a look at the commute. right now. westbound 80 coming around the corner. it looks pretty good. and besides, you know, on fridays, a lot of people. do work from home, or perhaps they don't even go. traffic is usually a little lighter on fridays, and this morning. that's the way it's starting out at 5 32. let's go back to the headlines. all right. thank you, sal. today, the u. s. supreme court will decide whether women can continue to get access to an abortion pill. the medication has been used by millions of women for more than 20 years. now the supreme court has been asked to weigh in on a lower court ruling to ban the pill. ktvu erasmus joins us now with the details of what happens. today ali pam, that medication is called mifepristone. it's a pill originally used as a drug to treat ulcers. but back in 2000, the fda approved it as a drug for first trimester
5:34 am
abortions. now 20 years later, it's one of the most common ways to end a pregnancy. more than half of all abortions in the u. s are done with that medicine late last year, conservative anti abortion group sued to block the use of mifid preston for abortions, and earlier this month, a federal judge in texas agreed with them, he ruled. that the fda didn't have the authority to approve kristen for abortions and that the drug would be banned nationwide, including here in california. just a week later. that decision was immediately appealed to the fifth circuit court. they modified the ruling so that the drug is still available right now, but with some tighter restrictions, the biden administration and the company that makes mr preston then appealed. to the supreme court, and today is the deadline the high court gave itself to decide what kind of access women will have to this abortion pill while that appeal is resolved. we don't know what the result will be. but if the court should decide that it has superior scientific knowledge without any
5:35 am
benefit of research or trials and the rest we have a real problem in our country. this is a slippery slope, allowing play tips to go after fda approved drugs is something that could be open to any other sort of medication. midnight tonight is the deadlines the supreme court gave itself to issue a ruling on this. the results could go one of several ways. people may be able to continue getting method preston for now, but with more restrictions. than before or the supreme court could allow full access to the drug. while the case is appealed. either way, the implications are far reaching for many people over the past 20 years, more than four million women in the us have used method kristen to end their pregnancies. david pam, back to you. thank you. time is at 5 30. for now, we're hearing from people who say they were victimized by any police officers linked to a text messaging scandal. they filed a federal lawsuit against the city current and former police chiefs and several officers, many of
5:36 am
the people filing the lawsuit say they were specifically mentioned in the racist text messages exchanged by as many as 45 officers in the police department. these officers are not only cruel. but are treating humans like pieces of trash comments about my son's head was a bowling ball. that they kicked the field gold. that they were going to shoot them to see the police and feel like i have to hide my key and hide my money and my underwear. to not be robbed, so they don't go in my car and take my possessions off my car like that's not a good feeling. this lawsuit calls for federal oversight of the anti attack police department. we are seeking. court monitoring. we need this department to change. it's not going to change by itself. it's proven that also, the lawsuit is seeking damages for the victims of police misconduct. so far, there's no comment on this from the city of
5:37 am
anti accor, the police chief. but the police chief has said before that he's committed to rebuilding the police department and its culture from the top. oakland police say there has been a spike in armed robberies and carjackings across the city , and they call it an alarming shift. there have been multiple reports people using their car to intentionally crashed into another vehicle before robbing the driver. authorities say the crimes have taken place at varying hours. and they say you should always keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. car thefts are also rising in berkeley city and city. state leaders say carmakers hyundai and kia are at the center of the issue because they're easy targets. they say a nationwide recall needs to happen and make these vehicles more difficult to steal. we're seeing that theft of these chaos. these candies are fueling an epidemic of thefts throughout the nation. and so the way to steal them is known. it's all over social
5:38 am
media. it's known to kia. it's known to hyundai and yet they have failed to act appropriately in response, so we're here today, asking national authorities to get involved and to initiate a recall. in a letter to the national highway traffic safety administration, law enforcement leaders are calling for a recall of those vehicles manufactured between 2011 and 2022 that are vulnerable to theft due to a lack of engine immobilizer and easily bypassed ignitions. data shows. nearly 40% of stolen cars in berkeley have been certain hyundai and kia models without that engine. mobilize er time now. 5 37 lisa gilmore, the mayor of santa clara, wants council member anthony record to resign after he was indicted. last week, becker was indicted for allegedly leaking a civil grand jury report and then lying about it. the indictment stands from several santa clara county council members reportedly accused of being too close with

6:17 am
poll showing just a quarter of americans want him to run again. but there are some signs that he is building support among democrats. 81% of respondents in a recent survey said that they would probably or definitely support him. other democrats who have announced a white house bid include robert f. kennedy jr. and writer marianne williamson on the republican side, california and conservative talk show host larry elder says he will run for president he is joining a crowded gop primary field that includes former president donald trump and former united nations ambassador nikki haley. elder will speak at the iowa faith and freedom coalition this weekend. you might remember he challenged governor newsom last year in the recall election time now, 6 17. we're right in the middle of the college acceptance season for high school seniors all over the country, and there's a new survey that says politics is a factor and where students want to go to college, a new poll finds prospective college students are only

interstate 80 in oakland, it looks good and also the cemetery. elbridge their traffic looks good heading out to the peninsula 6 32. let's get back to the headlines. thank you will happening today, the u. s supreme court will decide whether women can continue to have access to an abortion medication ktvu sally rasmus in the studio now to tell us the medications used by millions o y possibly be blocked. ali. good morning. good morning, dave blocked or limited today sometime before midnight. is when the high court will decide what kind of access women should have to this medicine for now. medicine is called mifepristone . it's a pill originally used as a drug to treat ulcers. but back in 2000, the fda approved it as a drug for first trimester abortions. late last year, an anti abortion group sued to block the use of myth kristen for abortions. earlier this month, a federal judge in texas sided with them. he ruled that the fda didn't have the authority to approve the medication in order to ban
6:34 am
nationwide within a week. that decision was immediately appealed by the fifth circuit court. they modified the rulings of the drug. is still available right now, but with more restrictions than before. the biden administration in the company that makes smith oppressed own, then appealed that decision to the supreme court on the grounds that the courts don't have the same scientific expertise needed to study how this or any drugs should be used. this is a slippery slope, allowing, um plaintiffs to go after fda approved drugs is something that could be open to any ot if the t should decide that it has superior scientific knowledge without any benefit of research or trials and the rest we have a real problem in our country. so today, the supreme court could rule one of several ways people may be able to continue getting method kristen for now, but with more restrictions than before, or the supreme court justices could allow full access to the drug, while the case is being
6:35 am
appealed, more than four million women in the us have used this medication to end their pregnancies in the first trimester. it's one of the most common ways to have an abortion. more than half of all the abortions across the us are done with this medication. not surgically, in the wake of this ruling that federal texas federal court rule. bling. california stockpiled about 250,000 doses of a second medication often used myth with mifepristone for abortions and can also be used to end a pregnancy. that second drug is not included in the legal case and should is expected to continue being available. no matter what is decided here. david pam back to you, all right, thank you, ali. we are now hearing from people who say they were victimized by antioch police officers caught up in that text messaging scandal. federal lawsuits been filed against the city. the of antiochus, current and former police chiefs and several police officers. many of the plaintiffs say they were specifically mentioned in racist text messages exchanged by as many as 45 police officers in the

6:47 am
affect the ecosystems around us, like using single use plastic but along with choosing greener transportation and energy options, environmentalists say investing in the planet is an investment in ourselves. the environmental impact of the planet is lessened when people have jobs and opportunities. if we look after each other the plan it's going to be a better place. now you can learn more about how to take action by visiting earth day dot org and the biggest events here in the bay area. tomorrow is earth day. san francisco, the family event from 11 o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening in the county fair building in golden gate park. there's also the earth and arbor day festival in cupertino. you can learn about environmental issues that are family friendly event. it will be held in the library, parkfield from 11 until three. and among the other events happening at the east bay

6:49 am
