>> yeah. crystal talking about the coliseum, how are those negotiations going with the city over part ownership of that space? >> well, alameda county supervisors tell us that this ownership is already in play there. the process has already started for the a's to have part ownership of the coliseum starting in 2026. but the city says that they are still negotiating and hoping that the a's sell their portion. and they do seem open to the idea of selling their portion of the coliseum. yeah, some business still to be done. >> crystal bailey live in oakland for us. crystal, thank you. >> sacramento mayor darrell steinberg says he is conflicted by the a's move, although he is grateful for the benefits of having a professional baseball team in his region, he wishes it did not have to come at oakland's expense. >> oakland is a great city, and it does not deserve to lose its team. >> our coverage of the a's departure will continue throughout tonight's newscast. well, snow in april. we're not

areas, even the coastal hills. so it's a very cool weather system that dropped snow levels around the lake tahoe area. so it's going to be snow levels, certainly down to 3800ft, 4000ft and even lower as we go into this evening. those snow levels will keep dropping down and the travel up. there could be a little sketchy, right? because you've got this this hour system that went through here is continuing to rumble on to the east, and that'll drop a bunch of snow. the live radar shows thunderstorms still occurring. now. there's one right there outside sacramento. these will die down, obviously, right when the sun begins to set or gets lower, lower sun angle. and that's happening now. but you can still see that it's still got a lot of energy out there. i wouldn't be surprised if we had a thunderstorm show up here in the next hour or so, in parts of the bay area or near the bay area, scattered showers around in oakland right now. hayward and out by san rafael. it's winding down weekends just around the corner. we'll line it up for you and let you know what you can expect coming up. >> all right, bill, thanks. we'll see you soon. a reminder that a stretch of highway one in

as much as $500,000. they are expensive, and they have to basically ask for a recount within five days after the certification. today, both camps were still at the registrar, voters pouring over ballot images. however, political analysts think at this point a recount is unlikely unless they had a really strong reason to think that a recount would be decided in their favor. >> i think they're probably thinking they want to hang on to their money and just focus. >> on november, evan lowe just released a statement saying in part, i'm honored to have won the support of our community to advance to the general election. he adds, this historically close race shows that every vote really counts, sam liccardo's camp said. we welcome the opportunity to continue to talk to voters about the issues facing our communities. and joe simitian just released a statement moments ago saying, sometimes it takes a while for democracy to work. this has been one of those times. call it a

showing the number one cause of death among black boys and men between the ages of one and 44 is homicide. >> i have a problem with that. >> and so sergeant smith, fellow police officers and other okay program community members act as mentors to young black boys, recruiting them in middle and high school, working with them on their schools, campuses. they make sure the boys are attending class, keeping their grades up, and for some, making sure they stay out of trouble. >> many times we talk about validating some of the things they're doing positive, but education is one part of a dual approach to helping the boys achieve long tum success. >> they're also taught life skills. >> one of the most important things we do is on our saturday sessions. we have a great discussions about things that will help them change their lives. >> the sessions teach boys critical thinking and social skills. it's early every saturday morning, a day most kids like to sleep in. >> i want us to wake up early. i feel like i gained that skill

waking up early. >> the leaders of this program will tell you all parts are important, but a key ingredient is breaking down the wall of mistrust, showing the boys that police officers can and do care about them and want them to succeed by introducing them to police officers that look like them, was very important to know that they are doing the job because they love the community and love the people of the city, and that that they're not always there to hurt you or to incarcerate you. in addition to the police officers, there are probation officers who work with the boys. he is very personal to me. >> i'm very passionate about the work i do. it's being from oakland and going through the same things that these kids go through. >> there's also jamal blackwell, a volunteer who tells me he uses his background of difficulty growing up in public housing as an educational tool. >> my emphasis is basically sharing some of the things that i can that i've experienced in my life, and pass it on to these young men for one of the boys, the program provides a place of belonging. >> to be so honest, it's been great. like everybody's really

nice in the program. >> for another, the lessons run deeper. it's been good because he keeps me out of trouble. >> how to de-escalate the situation and how to keep your emotions under check. >> and another it's helping him plan for his future. >> the stakes with me is just like planning out my future. knowing what i want to do when i grow up. i would like a vote. >> while the okay program may not be extremely well known, it does have some star power. petri bird, who some people may recognize as the bailiff from the judge judy show, is chairman of the board for the okay program. i literally seen hundreds and hundreds of lives changed by the okay program. and now, with support from the warriors community foundation, bird and his team can continue their work, devoting their lives to the young and vulnerable in hopes of building a brighter future for oakland. >> we're here to change the way they think and feel about life, right? we have a again, we have a responsibility to really, really help them, to be the best version of themselves. >> leaders of the okay program

tell me they do much more than help these boys in their academic pursuits. they say some of them come from families that lack basic living necessities. so they tell me they donate things to those families, such as furniture. i'm andre senior, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, caitlin clark is capping off her historic college career with another record breaking season. clark was honored today as the associated press women's basketball player of the year for the second year in a row. the 22 year old is just the sixth player to win the award more than once, and fifth to do it back to back. the all time leading scorer in division one basketball set several records while leading iowa back to the final four. she was asked today about how her sport is growing. >> there's always been the blue bloods that have been really good, but i think you know, over the past few final fours, you've seen teams that maybe haven't been there in 25, 30 years. and i think that's really good for our game and it attracts new fans. also, the amount of stars

up around lake tahoe you'll be chaining up if you're traveling up there in the next six hours, maybe even the next eight hours. by tomorrow morning it should get better, but it still will be a bit unsettled up there, where snow continues to fall, even on bay area peaks, we've seen snow down to 1500 feet. there's the live radar. these are the current temperatures. it's already down to 43. in novato, it's 45. in fairfield. these are overnight low temperatures. i mean, they're right now temperatures. but those are what you would expect for an overnight low this time of year. so ten degrees cooler in santa rosa and in concord, the model does this with a low. there's tomorrow morning offshore scattered showers maybe a sprinkle tomorrow maybe a sprinkle. but for the most i think most of us won't see anything. but it'll be cool. pretty much a little bit breezy as well. and then there's saturday morning and then saturday afternoon. and then a few clouds on sunday morning, maybe a sprinkle on sunday morning early. but overall the weekend looks good. forecast highs will gradually warm as we go through the weekend. by early next week we're back into the
