drive to the bay area from sacramento for games are thrilled. >> i was jumping up and down this morning. i was very, very excited. >> jimmy galdo is general manager of rio city cafe, a lifelong a's fan with his dad, he says the games just across the tower bridge will be a welcome boost to old sacramento businesses. >> revenue wise. it's going to be incredible for us. that means that there's going to be games at the stadium probably every day of the week. between the river cats and the a's. >> sweet news, too, for this candy shop a few doors away, i think it's helpful for businesses around here. >> it brings a lot of people in. a lot of people are happy to go to the game. >> as the clouds parted thursday, a rainbow appeared over west sacramento, a sign to some perhaps of good times ahead. i feel it's kind of a privilege to get a major league baseball out here in west sacramento. the west sac little league team say the a's have supported them for years. >> they donate uniforms to our league every season, so we are very excited to have them in our backyard. >> and some say they're glad to see the a's put the sacramento.

many fans say they'll keep protesting this season outside of home games at the coliseum, as they hope that oakland city leaders will bring a major league expansion team to oakland. well many jobs will also be lost as the a's leave oakland and the bay area. >> there are going to be some reductions in our in our staffing. you know, that's just it's part of the situation. it's a sad thing. and, you know, i we have a great group of people with the a's and they've done a great job in putting a great product out there. but that is something that comes with this. >> now, a's president dave kaval also said those employees will be getting severance packages and also help with finding new jobs. but the union that represents hundreds of food and beverage workers at the coliseum accused the a's of abandoning its staff and many have worked at the coliseum for more than 20 years. in a statement, unite here local two said in part, quote, the majority are african american. these workers have made thousands of game days

in a couple of weeks to try to get into a playoff series. like it's because we dug deep and, you know this, it matters to us the second half. >> yeah. with six games left in the season, the warriors currently have the 10th seed in the western conference. that would put them in the play in game for the playoffs. now they're four games ahead of houston with six games left. way to go. all right. our time is 409. let's go back to steve paulson i know you want to know what the weather is going to be like today. after everything we saw yesterday so do i. yeah. oh yeah. yeah. well that's why i'm here dave. >> thank you sir. all right. we'll take a look at the baseball forecast here. i think we're all right here. but you know, just to cia, to just keep an eye on things here. sun clouds, 56. there could be some. you know, i think most of it will be inland as far as any rain goes. but it's close. mostly cloudy. this morning. a lot of low clouds leftover. still some light activity, but most of the activity has ended

to the north. you can see the low churning out there by lodi and stockton, but you know this will the activity will pick up later. there's plenty offshore. it would not take much to see this swing inland. that's a nice bass map. 30s on the temps. oakland and vallejo at 38. don't see that all the time, which are cooler than anyone else around here on this panel. snow up in the mountains that will continue most of the day. winter weather advisory goes again throughout today. look at all that activity. the cold air over the relatively cold water. but boy, that's, you know, one of those swings inland. that's all it would take to put a damper on your parade. so but there's not a lot being forecast here. just a couple one hundredths. but an isolated thunderstorm could easily drop another maybe quarter of an inch or some hail as the low starts to track a little bit more to the south. so sun, clouds, more scattered showers today, 50s on the temps. >> all right, steve, thank you. well, a promise made to unite the san francisco community. another candidate is joining the crowded field, hoping to become the mayor of san francisco.

executive compensation is tied to delivering improvements in safety, operational. and financial performance. it's 414 today. president biden goes to baltimore. he will see firsthand the recovery effort after the bridge collapse there the following week. now progress has been slow out there. the shipping channel is still filled with wreckage, and the cargo ship is still stuck in place after it crashed into the francis scott key bridge. the dive teams, operating with almost no visibility, have not been able to find the bodies of four missing construction workers, as the collapse of the bridge is so distinct and so severe, with the metal that is so misconfigured and so brought together and pancaked, that it continues to make this mission extraordinarily complicated and dangerous for those who are conducting it. now, the crews

out there have been able to open a small channel around the wreckage. the us army corps of engineers expects a larger channel to be opened by the end of april, with full access restored by the end of may. it is now 415. the port of oakland taking action to invest in new, cleaner technology powered by hydrogen. ports across california were given a federal investment of $1.2 billion to set up hydrogen fuel projects. some of the biggest pieces of equipment at the port will soon be powered by pure hydrogen, the exhaust being just water vapor that will improve the air quality for people who live and work near the port. >> we have high incidences of lung cancer, cancer, asthma, health impacts that have occurred as a result of unfortunately, fossil fuels. >> california being california, we're also bold in our ambition and in our vision and a big part

of that is making sure that we're also a significant and clean economy. >> there are also plans to manufacture and distribute hydrogen fuels at the port of oakland. it's 416, but it's official now. there are three candidates who will be heading to the november ballot in a south bay congressional race after two of the candidates tied for second place. the final ballot count has been certified in both joe simitian and evan lobe received the same number of votes in the race for california's 16th district seat in the house of representatives. they'll be joining front runner sam liccardo on the november ballot. ktvu lamonica peters talked to both evan low and joe simitian about the vote results. >> in an unexpected twist, state assembly member evan low and santa clara county board supervisor joe simitian will both be in the running to replace congressmember anna eschew in district 16. >> call it what you will. you

know, it's been a wild ride, a roller coaster, a cliffhanger, but, you know, a win is a win is a win. we're in. and that's the exciting news. >> on thursday, the registrar of voters in santa clara county certified that simitian and low each had 30,249 votes. state election rules say because the vote is tied, they both will be candidates in november's general election. >> the goal of this election has always been to run in a primary election and then to advance in the general election, and i'm so excited to be able to have that opportunity. neither lo nor simitian would say, if they'll ask for a recount, which any voter has a right to request within five days of election certification, other district 16 candidates. >> sam liccardo tweeted this message, saying given the extraordinarily unlikely outcome of today's vote tally after my first place finish, two of my competitors have tied for second after more than 180,000 votes

were cast. it's a good time to buy a lottery ticket in district 16. in the march 5th primary, 37.39% of registered voters cast a vote. now, lo and simitian say they're getting ready to ask voters for their support one more time. so we're hopeful that now, with the longer period of time that you can't sit on the sidelines, this is it. >> this is the presidential election. there's not another shot. >> it is literally true that without you, we wouldn't be here tonight. and thanks to the folks who counted the ballots, frankly, you know, this is what a functioning democracy looks like. and that's not a small thing. >> lamonica peters, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. lamonica. thank you. time is 419. well, the bay area saw a really stormy night. and here's what it was like in san francisco. the rain really coming down, creating a lot of puddles out there. the people who were walking around were bundled up, had their umbrellas up. but things are a bit different this morning. steve

paulson knows that, and everything else about your friday morning. >> well, it looks a little better today, dave. so we'll focus now on the giants forecast. i think they'll be fine. they'll play. but again you know just keep an eye on things. it would not surprise me to see maybe a passing shower or two. but most of this should be inland more so than favoring the coast. so we'll go partly sunny, 56 degrees, a little cool, but again, nothing you can't handle. but just hopefully everything stays to the east or out of the area. much quieter to the north. although things will begin to bubble up. i would think later on today, especially inland. and that's what some of the forecast projections are, are showing here. so if you're out around solano napa county, solano contra costa santa clara later today, i think that's your best opportunity. a couple of 30s in here, vallejo and one in oakland, a lot of low 40s here. some cloud cover. snow continues up in the mountains. that'll continue for the day as that low moves, you can see the moisture wrapping back around that will no doubt favor the sierra. look at all the activity offshore, though it would not take much

for one of those. all it would take is for one of those to swing in and, you know, put us, you know, ten, 15 minute shower with some hail. so that's kind of a broad brush forecast. but the low kicks out and you can see now watch fairfield livermore. see those are the higher amounts being forecast by this model with lesser amounts to none over by the coast. i'll buy that. that makes sense in this kind of a pattern here. you'll get better buildups in the afternoon. so inland i think is a better opportunity to see more activity today. but after that, high pressure is building in and a return to spring is on the way. one one item of interest will be saturday morning lows. seeing a lot of 30s here and again around 3334 in wind protected areas are under clear skies, so there'll be a lot of lows. but again the nights are getting much shorter here. i think though we'll get through it. but saturday looks to be the coldest morning and then after that everything says spring is back next week with temperatures bumping up into the 70s. april chill. but more sun here. there will be some afternoon build ups, no doubt about it. some clouds, more showers, 50s on the temps. >> all right steve, thank you.

earth all lining up a total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth completely blocking the face of the sun. the regions that are in the center of the moon's shadow experienced the total eclipse during this time. the sky will darken in the middle of the day, resembling dawn or dusk. the defined route of the moon's shadow across the earth is called the path of totality. on april 8th, the path of totality runs across 13 states from texas to maine. in this area, the sun will be completely covered for 3 to 4 minutes. residents in the bay area can expect a partial solar eclipse monday morning. 34% of the sun will be covered by the moon. the partial eclipse begins during the 10:00 hour, reaching a maximum at 1113. in the morning. safety is key. looking at the sun directly can damage

we head into the weekend, especially next week, our low is churning. it's heading off, but there's so much coming down from the north that a little bit of afternoon heating would certainly be enough. i think this will favor areas inland more so than there should be. okay, today won't be a hot or anything but 50s on the temps. a mix of sun and clouds. if a passing shower goes through, it'll be just that. it'll pass through pretty fast. 50 on the temps. all right. sal is here and hopefully it's friday. >> light it is. there is one crash in san francisco steve. and that would be southbound 101. we'll talk about that in just a moment. but right now at the bay bridge it is not affecting traffic. we'll see those southbound 101. there is a crash at hospital curve, which is the area between vermont and cesar chavez. but traffic is so lightly traveled. in fact, let me remove the icon, see if i can see any traffic sensors firing up. not a lot. so it should be gone soon and traffic should recover quite nicely for 31. let's get back to the headlines.

homelessness. the fentanyl crisis and affordable housing. >> i have been a proponent of getting rid of single family housing and replacing it with four plexes, he answers. >> critics who say he's anti housing because of his controversial legislation that limits the height of new buildings in specific areas of the city. peskin says his legislation preserves the character of historic neighborhoods, and that his vision was shared by many members of the board. >> we do not have to destroy our neighborhoods in order to grow in order to provide more housing. we're smarter than that, and that's precisely why the board saw fit by a supermajority to override the mayor's veto. >> crime and public safety appears to be the number one concern of many voters. how do you plan to address that? >> i would like to propose and have discussed with leading academic institutions is a schools to police officer pipeline, where individuals can be trained in law enforcement in

it's 436 police in pacifica released body cam video of the deadly police shooting of a woman who shot and wounded her son. stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop now. police were called on march 27th when the 23 year old called 911 to say his mother shot him in their apartment on francisco boulevard. the police, who arrived at the scene, said they saw 50 year old michelle reyes driving away from the apartment complex. now police froze that body cam video to show what appears to be reyes pointing a gun at the police. that's when the police opened fire. she died at the scene. now the police say they found a loaded gun in her car. this incident is being investigated by the san mateo county da's office as well as pacifica police. it's 437. san francisco mayor london breed says recent efforts to reduce crime in the city are paying off

, and the mayor points to the city's crime stats during the first three months of this year. the police report says property crime has plunged 32% compared to the same time period last year. violent crime dropped 14% and the mayor says there wasn't a single homicide in san francisco the entire month of february. >> every arrow is pointing down whether it's burglaries, car break ins, you name it, rapes. anything that's happening in a major city like san francisco. it's been incredible the way now, mayor breed credits this dramatic drop in crime with the san francisco police teaming up with the chp, as well as federal law enforcement agencies. >> the mayor says they're all working together to hold criminals accountable for their actions. our times 438. a scare for tenants at a san pablo apartment complex where fire broke out last night. contra costa fire says flames sparked

in an attic just after 8:00. it happened at the el portal gardens apartment on san pablo avenue. about 50 of the residents there had to be evacuated. the fire was contained quickly. no one was hurt. the cause of the fire is under investigation. all right. it's 438. it's friday morning. steve paulson is on top of your weather for a friday. >> dave, how is your weather yesterday, man, it was wet. >> it was gusty, just like you said. >> well, the areas in i think contra costa county were the leaders of the pack. we'll show you that coming up in about 15 minutes or so. but i think those were the heaviest totals. i think we're good today. anything that develops, just keep an eye on things here. this is a broad brush forecast. it's almost impossible to forecast. precisely. i think more activity will happen inland than over the coast, but i think they'll be fine. sun clouds, maybe a shower, scoot through it. but we're on the drier side as the lowest moving off towards the east here, but it would not take much for something to pop up

here. but pretty quiet here this morning. this system though really was a big deal for some to the east bay and some towards the santa cruz mountains as well. more so than areas to the north. a few 30 showing up here. i mean upper 30s, low 40s. quite cool for us. cold as temps though will be on saturday morning. plenty of 30s to the north. cloverdale, healdsburg in there, sebastopol, rohnert park, fairfax, san anselmo, sonoma, middletown, konocti, upper lake, all in the 30s here. snow will be on the go here throughout the day for the mountains, so they'll pick up more. you can see all the activity offshore would not take much for one of those bands to swing inland. so that's why have to keep some scattered shower activity in the forecast. but the low is on its way out. the high will start to build in, but really it will take until we get to about sunday. monday. not a lot, but you can see fairfield, concord, fremont, livermore, morgan hill with more than areas to the west. and i'll buy that because we'll get some pretty good buildups here in the afternoon. the atmosphere will be destabilize later, but the ridge is beginning to show itself, and it'll start to build in tomorrow

morning, though it's kind of the critical morning, i don't think it'll get too bad, but santa rosa forecast is 34, napa 35, antioch 37. even down to gilroy at 34. so after that, though, sunday does look a little bit better. highs will start to bump up and by the time we get to monday, spring will return and temperatures will start to come back here. so partly cloudy in the morning. chilly to cold. still some light rain. there will be some more sun breaks today, but more clouds possible. thundershower bubbling up in the afternoon 50s though still well below average on the highs. >> all right team steve thank you. time is 440. well today is the home opener for the san francisco giants. we'll give you a preview of what you fans can expect to see. and only ten days left until the tax filing deadline. we'll tell you about the science that looks at why some people procrastinate when it comes to getting the taxes done

i love that my daughter still needs me. but sometimes i can't help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands, so i use nervive. nervive's clinical dose of ala reduces nerve discomfort in as little as 14 days. now i can help again. feel the difference with nervive.

came out to raise money for

humanitarian aid in gaza. now, the fundraiser was in part organized by a local e.r. doctor who just came back from a medical mission in that war torn region. ktvu zac sos has that story from los gatos. >> i have a single shot pistachio latte. >> thursday night, a portion of the proceeds from every cup, every food item, and everything else sold under these tents in los gatos headed to gaza. >> that's why i come here to support those people, especially in this month of ramadan jihad and nooshin de rosti among those braving the rain to raise money for the nonprofit islamic relief. >> rain or shine, we're going to be fine. people are committed to coming out to this amazing event, to support and show solidarity for the people of gaza. >> some of the money raised earmarked for several food kitchens in gaza, which the group says prepare around 90,000 hot meals a day for palestinians caught up in the war with israel. >> they're fasting. they're hanging in there. they're they're praying, they're hopeful, and they're definitely

in our prayers, helping to spearhead the event. >> mohammed subhi, a local e.r. doctor who recently returned from a five week medical mission to the region where more than 33,000 people have died. that's according to gaza's health ministry, still trying to unpack everything i saw treating patients in the middle of a war zone missile strikes all around you. >> you hear gunfire, you you feel yourself shaken to the core, all while working with limited medical supplies. >> it was so inhumane. >> it felt to, like, operate on patients without proper anesthesia. but the alternative many times was they would die. >> sabahi's staff at ken's coffee roasters, a shop he owns in town, inspired to do something upon his return, this event was the brainchild of our team, now moved once again by the outpouring of support being shown by this community. people like kathy, i've been trying to do whatever i can, helping them dollar by dollar, donate whatever we can to organizations working there on the ground to get it to the people that need it most on the ground. and well,

this is the last event organizers planned to hold this spring. they say it is certainly not the last. they hope to hold another fundraiser this june in los gatos, zac sos. ktvu fox two news. >> all right, zach, thank you. time is 445. protesters in sunnyvale blocked entrances to lockheed martin facilities for about five hours, calling for the united states to stop sending military aid to israel. free palestine will be free now. dozens of protesters handcuffed themselves together outside of lockheed martin because they say the company supplies israel with f-16 and f-35 fighter jets, as well as missiles and other technology. >> it's been heartbreaking. it's been emotionally draining to continue to pretend and act every single day that it's thousands of miles away. so i've got to continue my job. i've got

to continue just doing things as is now. >> the protests ended peacefully. organizers said there were no arrests. in a statement, lockheed martin told ktvu, quote, we respect the right to peaceful protest and we're honored to partner with the u.s. military and our international partners to deliver strategic deterrence and security solutions as well. new this morning, the israeli military just fired two officers for their roles in the drone strikes in gaza that killed seven aid workers. the israeli military says an investigation into that incident found that the officers mishandled critical information and violated the israeli army's rules of engagement. the seven workers were there, with world central kitchen delivering food to gaza's population. israel also says it will reopen a border crossing to allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. if that came after president biden spoke directly with israeli prime minister netanyahu,

telling him that future u.s. support for the war in gaza would depend on israel taking more action to protect civilians and the aid workers. our time is 447 more homes, steamer products for clothing have been recalled because of burn injuries. a previous recall of black and decker home steamer units is expanding, now affecting about 2 million of the units the consumer product safety commission says dozens of spewing hot water burn injuries from the steamers have been reported. the units were sold at walmart, target, bed bath and beyond and amazon between june of 2021 and february of 2024. if you have one, you can ask for a full refund from the company. it's for 48. the omni hotel and resort chain says it has launched a full investigation, now into a cyber attack. the company says hackers forced their way to and made them

temporarily shut down some of its computer systems earlier this week, and that led to longer check ins and checkout times for guests staying at omni hotels in san francisco and in other cities around the country. cyber security experts say these kinds of online attacks are becoming more and more common. >> i think what's interesting is not just the these things are becoming more frequent, but really as a result of just how connected everything is, they're having a larger effect. >> that cyber attack also created problems with room keys as well as online reservations. omni says it's still working with cybersecurity experts to make sure all of its computers are back online. well, the $0.99 only stores are going to be closing all of them. the company says it's winding down all business operations and closing 371 stores across california, texas, arizona and nevada. the

interim ceo blamed financial difficulties stemming from the pandemic and also from changing consumer demands and rising inflation for the reason they're closing. those stores. the company hasn't announced a closing date for those discount stores. well, if you're still sharing a disney+ password, your days are limited. the streaming platform says they're officially cracking down on people sharing the passwords outside of your household. users will have to start paying to share the passwords in june. disney+ already bans password sharing and its terms of service, but doesn't yet require the users to pay extra for sharing their login information. the company says people who are suspected of using someone else's account will be prompted to create your own account, beginning this summer. and today is april 5th, which, you know, that means the deadline to file your taxes is

just ten days from now. the irs predicts almost one, one third of american taxpayers will wait until the very last minute to file federal and state taxes. and psychologists have found procrastination is common every tax season, mainly because of the fact people generally put off things that they don't like to do. >> those for whom negative attitudes tend to generalize more strongly seem to be the kind of people that delay filing their taxes. we find that people with a negative valence weighting bias are more cautious, and there are studies out that say that most tax procrastinators assume whom they're they won't be getting a refund back, so they don't feel the need to rush to file taxes. >> all right. let's rush on over to steve paulson. it's 451 on this friday morning, a better day today than yesterday. >> yes, sir. okay. on taxes my father taught me. let's get it

over with. yeah. to take two hours on a sunday, get it over with, file it. you're done. bite the bullet. just get it over with. don't procrastinate because you're always thinking about it. all right, our baseball forecast, i think we're i think we're pretty good here today. the key, though, is because of the nature of this system. you just have to cover yourself here. but i think sun clouds, it'll be all right. could be a little breezy, cool. but you know, again, if there's a scattered shower that passes through, it'll just do that. it'll go pretty fast. most of this looks to favor inland areas, but there's so much offshore that it would not take much rainfall. boy i'll tell you a lot of i'll have to say mainly east bay thunderstorms. these are the leaders of the dublin. over an inch of rain. hayward 95 100. danville 87, castro valley 86. orinda and livermore, both with 84. 100, i should add. brentwood also had really good rain at 8/10. berkeley also had 8/10 to the north. some clearing is taking place. i think we'll get some sun breaks here for a while. then we'll start to see the atmosphere bubble up and we'll get some activity later in

the day, but it tends to favor areas. napa county, solano contra costa santa clara more so than areas to the west, but you can see how close it is. it would not take much for one of those to zip on by. is it cold up in the mountains? you're darn tootin it is. look at mount diablo 28 degrees. my goodness, with a west wind at 15mph. 28 for april 5th. it's hard to believe. 30s for a few. a lot of low 40s. 41 is popular. san rafael is in there. napa airport, walnut creek, fremont, hayward, san carlos, all in there. 39 orinda panels in there, kensington, 39, clayton 39. danville is in there. castro valley 38, north dublin 37. still some snow up in the mountains. that will continue, probably throughout the day as the low kind of favors areas now east more so than us. but once that low kicks out, the high is going to start building in slowly. it'll make more of an impact. so we go to next week. you can see fairfield, concord, fremont, livermore more so than areas to the west. and i'll buy into that a little bit more snow today a couple inches maybe. and then after that it looks good to go, especially for most of the

weekend. snow forecast looks all right but our low is give it credit. pretty impressive for this time of year. but that ridge of high pressure is on its way. april chill but more sun. so some sun breaks. but then we'll get some more afternoon activity today. >> dave okay steve. thank you. time is 453. it's the first round of post pandemic layoffs at apple. the reason apple based here in the bay area, has decided to reduce its workforce and a tragic accident during a safari that left an american tourist dead. you tell you the latest in what we're finding out about this elephant attack that happened during the safari

i was like shaking you know, i was so scared. when i first reached out to jacoby and meyers. i didn't know if i had a case or not. as soon as i got a hold of my attorney, she was very, very nice, very kind. because of jacoby and meyers, i don't have that pressure to worry about a medical bill or things like that. if i know of any accident, i'm like, call jacoby and meyers, they'll help you. it's time to get away and cache in, at cache creek casino resort,

to rock and to roll. to go all out or... go all in. with four stars and rising stars, northern california's premier casino resort is the perfect place... ...to do as much -or as little- as you want. make your get away now and cache in at cache creek casino resort. afari in africa. an american tourist was killed in zambia when an elephant went on attack. now, six of the safari guests were on a game drive over the

weekend when an elephant charged the vehicle. the woman was riding in. now, safari officials called the bull elephant aggressive and said the guide on the tour wasn't able to get his jeep out of the way fast enough, and members of the group realized the 79 year old woman died when the vehicle flipped over. >> the first jeep was able to get away, but the second jeep, wasn't able to get away, and they got stopped by some vegetation and they just couldn't get out of there fast enough. they rolled over to a tree and they sat there, i believe, for a solid five minutes, not she said. they didn't bat an eye. the elephant was right in front of them, staring them down. she said she thought he was probably going to kill them, but after five minutes she said, i think he got bored and he just wandered off. >> very scary. zambia's department of national parks and

wildlife are working with local police and the us embassy to investigate what happened with that woman, and it's now 457 here at home. despite public criticism, san francisco muni is says it's making progress. great progress on a major transit and traffic project. the l taraval improvement project was designed to improve pedestrian safety, ease neighborhood congestion and speed up muni service in one of the busiest traffic corridors of the city. the sfmta says the project is on track to be completed this fall. however, some residents complain it's taking too long. they say. since construction started in 2019, parking spaces have been eliminated, reducing shopping and also forcing businesses to close. it's 458 golden gate park celebrated its 154th birthday. city officials kicked off the celebration at the conservatory conservatory of flowers. it was

the first building that was built in the park in 1879. the event included entertainment activities and they also cut a birthday cake. the leaders called the park one of san francisco's greatest assets. >> to understand. golden gate park is to understand san francisco. from the post gold rush years to the 1906 earthquake and fire from the panama pacific international exposition to the summer of love , from the aids epidemic to the explosion of technology, business and jobs, this park has served as the city's oasis through all its joy, its misery, its growth, its innovation. >> the golden gate park is in the running in an online contest by usa today to be named the best city park in america, usa today calls it a wonderful urban oasis. it's times now for 59. the return of oakland's first friday event, postponed because of the rainy weather. that

popular community event was supposed to resume today after a hiatus of three months. the last time first friday took place was back in december. organizers blamed that break on financial difficulties for the festival. the monthly block party has been a gathering place for a variety of artists, performers and small business owners in oakland for several years. the date for the next event has not been announced yet. well, today is the home opener for the san francisco giants. we tell you what's different for fans this season as they go back to the ballpark for the first time in 2024. plus, i don't know what we're going to do. >> oakland. it's horrible right now. >> heartbreak among oakland a's fans, what fans are telling us after the a's announced they'll be leaving oakland to play in sacramento before they moved to las vegas from ktvu a fox two

news. >> this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark i'm allie rasmus. >> it is friday april 5th. happy friday to you dave. >> right back at you. happy friday. >> and it is a cold one out there steve paulson i actually put my winter coats away a week ago. and the last couple of nights i've had to bring them back out. >> it's well, a lot of 30s are showing up and for this time of year, no doubt about it, that's a cold one. here we are getting a little bit of a break here. thirties0 santa rosa is 39 livermore, palo alto in there. we'll see activity pop up again in the afternoon. i don't think it will be as intense, and i think it'll favor areas to the east, more so to the west. but see how close it is. i mean, it's just there's a lot offshore. and if all just one kind of clips us, that could put a little damper on. but they'll play. but sun clouds, maybe a passing shower or 256 a little chill out there at the you know, today for the home opener, but overall better than i think. yesterday 50 on the temps. that's it. all right sal is here 5:00. you said there was one

thing going on. i didn't hear where. >> yeah it was in san francisco. steve. southbound 101 near cesar chavez. that's been cleared, fortunately. and things are wide open for you. we're talking about the home opener. the bay bridge may get some service today. today, because people going into san francisco still the best way, in my humble opinion, to getting to the park is public transportation. because parking can be very pricey near the stadium right now. there's no traffic reported there. it's probably not going to start until about 10 or 11 in the morning, right in front of the coliseum here, interstate 80 looks good and the rest of the bay area commute is off to a good start. it's 501. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal, the countdown is on to the first pitch at giants opening day to day. ktvu bailey o'carroll is live at oracle park this morning. bailey, you spoke to some special giants fans ahead of the game and i see you are on the field ready to go. >> ali yeah, good morning. we are on the field. excitement is

building. of course. rain kind of the story here. first that i want to touch on this morning. i'll move out of the way so you can see this tarp behind me. you can see just how much water is on it, thankfully, it is no longer raining, for the sake of this game. also, for our sake standing out here. but they have the pressure washers going, so you might be able to hear that buzz kind of in the background, making sure the stadium is, all clean for those fans who will come out here today. but now to those fans that i spoke to, some of the biggest giants fans around, they also happen to be the grandmother of giants superstar logan webb. now, logan is not pitching today, but that does not mean that his two grandmas, jan and patty, who happen to be best friends and roommates, will not be watching this game. logan calls them actually the team grandmas. they're at every game that he pitches at and boy are they excited for this new season and all the new faces that love to

watch the pitching. >> and this year, the hitting. it's like we have a full team. yeah the teaching of the new pitchers that we have, it's been wonderful to watch that. and of course the hitting and you can even see the camaraderie amongst all of the players. it's just such a joy to see. everybody seems to be happy. >> now, they told me one of the things that logan helped to implement, throughout spring training is that because there's so many new players and so many new are obviously, of course, the new coaching staff, he says that everybody shakes hands in the morning when they get to the clubhouse. they say it's a small thing, but makes a pretty big difference when it just comes to guys feeling welcome in this clubhouse. again, with just so many new faces, not only players but the coaching staff as well, the grandma told me that this new coaching staff also makes every player take batting practice every day of course,

that they are healthy and able to do that and their goal for this season, the grandma's not the team. of course, to help cheer this giants team on to as many wins as possible. but also, patty has kind of an independent goal. if you will. she says her goal is to meet wilmer flores this season, and she said she keeps kind of nudging logan to help make that happen. so we will. i guess just have to wait and see if she is able to meet the one and only wilmer flores at oracle park. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you. bailey we will have special coverage of today's giants home opener all morning on mornings on two. coming up on the nine, we'll have live interviews and weather from oracle park. and be sure to check back this afternoon for highlights and reactions from fans as expectations are high this season for those retooled giants. >> all right, ali, time is 505. sacramento business owners and residents are already making plans to become the new home of the oakland a's. beginning next season, the a's will share

sutter health park with the sacramento river cats, the triple-a affiliate of the san francisco giants and the majority owner of the river cats, also owns the sacramento kings, the city's nba team. and he's really excited about the a's playing in his ballpark in west sacramento. >> so what an incredible day. this is epic. it's historic. >> we embrace you all of west sacramento is going to thrive because of your presence. >> now the smaller minor league ballpark in west sacramento may be a good fit for the a's last year, the a's averaged only 10,000 fans a game at the 63,000 seat oakland coliseum. >> a much more intimate setting for sure. i mean, i think it's about 14,000 people in the stadium there, and i imagine they'll probably fill it up for most of their games. >> revenue wise. it's going to be incredible. for us, that means that there's going to be games at the stadium probably every day of the week between

the river cats and the a's. >> now sacramento fans also hope the temporary move for the a's could mean the city could become home to a permanent major league baseball expansion team in the future. >> well, many longtime a's fans say they are not surprised the team is now officially playing its final season in oakland, but they're still angry and frustrated by the news. many heartbroken a's fans have been attending games at the coliseum since the team first moved to the bay area from kansas city back in 1968. >> my dad took me to games, i took my boys to games. now i'm taking my granddaughters. >> i think it's devastating, but it at least we have clarity and at least now we can look at what the future is going to hold. >> many a's fans say they will continue protesting outside home games at the oakland coliseum this season, despite the announcement, they're hoping city leaders will be successful in their efforts to bring another major league expansion team to oakland. >> all right. also, ali, many jobs are going to be lost as the

a's leave oakland and the bay area. there are going to be some reductions in our in our staffing. >> you know, that's just it's part of the situation. it's a sad thing. and you know, i we have a great group of people with the a's. and they've done a great job in putting a great product out there. but that is something that comes with this. >> a's president dave kaval, also said those employees will be getting severance packages and also will be helped to find new jobs. but the union that represents hundreds of food and beverage workers at the coliseum accused the a's of abandoning its staff, and many have worked at the coliseum for more than 20 years now. in a statement, unite here local two said in part, quote, the majority are african american. these workers have made thousands of game days enjoyable for countless fans. their union wages and benefits have supported the workers, families and communities, and their work has helped make john fisher even richer. the ktvu obviously, will be following

this all season long. be sure to download the free fox local app for your smart tv to get the very latest on the a's and their final season in oakland. >> well, the warriors will go for their seventh straight win tonight in dallas. last night the warriors were in houston playing against the team closest to them for the final play in spot. the warriors controlled the game from start to finish. steph curry and klay thompson scored 29 points each in in the game, the final score of 133 to 110. after the game, steph curry talked about the urgency the team has played with as the regular season winds down. >> for us to be in this situation where we have an opportunity, to keep hope alive and, you know, see what happens in a couple weeks to try to get into a playoff series. like, that's because we dug deep and you know this. it matters to us. the second half with six games left in the season, the dubs currently have the 10th seed in the western conference, which would put them in the play in

game in for the playoffs. >> they're now four games ahead of houston with six games left. 509 is the time. let's check in with steve paulson for a look at our weather. still a pretty dynamic today, i'd say. >> not as bad as yesterday, but yes, there will still be some activity today. then we'll start to see a decrease here, bailey was right. i know they have the tarp out there, but i think today will be much better than yesterday. the only thing is that you. you don't want these scattered showers to just zip on by, because there's a lot off the coast. but sun, clouds, they'll play. i think it'll be far better than yesterday as our system has swung inland. but there's just so much coming down the coast that you have to keep that in the forecast. there will be some pretty good activity later today, especially inland. double in hayward, danville, castro valley, orinda and livermore. look at that. 84 100 to over an inch. so those thunderstorms erupted. those areas, no doubt about it, had more rain than almost everyone else. boulder creek had 91 100 brentwood 8/10. the berkeley hills 8/10, morgan hill almost

in there. clayton and three quarters of an inch oakland 0.70, san francisco 0.54. and napa had 51/100. i try and get as many areas in as i can. stockton i don't usually show stockton, but that's a lot of rain for stockton in april. mount tamalpais almost three quarters. union city in there. redwood city 6/10 vallejo 6/10. evergreen san jose area almost 6/10 petaluma half inch and half moon bay picked up 44/100. it's darn cold up there in them there hills. mount diablo 28 degrees. my goodness. so some chill in the air here. a few a lot of 30s are showing up here overnight. petaluma is in there. santa rosa kelseyville vallejo. one observation in oakland is also in there. woodside, atherton, half moon bay. how about that? i'm wondering if that's a record for april. i mean, my goodness, still some snow up in the mountains that will continue off and on throughout the day today. no totals don't come in until about 8:00 or so, but the low will continue to churn out of the area as the high begins to build in. not a lot today and

some areas fairfield, concord, fremont, livermore a little bit more than areas by far to the west, which makes sense. we'll get what's called the diurnal effect today, which is an afternoon heating should build up 1 to 3, four, maybe inches of snow, but we had snow down to low elevations, that's for sure. and the system kicks out that high is going to build in. and next week, next week temps will really be bumping up here. the key will be saturday morning. i know some areas critical minimums. napa santa rosa 3534. gilroy 34. so that will be the coldest. sunday does look cold, but not nearly as cold. 30s, more upper 30s. and then after that we can say goodbye to cold lows as temperatures will begin to bump up. april chill, but more sun. partly cloudy, chilly to cold in the morning. some sun breaks, but we'll get some more activity later today. >> all right. thank you steve. well, another candidate is joining the crowded race to become the next san francisco mayor. supervisor aaron peskin sat down with ktvu to talk about why he's running and an historic tie for a congressional race in

the south bay. >> two candidates for a house seat talk about their unprecedented tie in the vote count and what comes

come the recovery effort after the bridge collapse. their progress has been slow. the shipping channel is still strewn with wreckage and the cargo ship is still stuck in place after it

crashed into the francis scott key bridge. dive teams operating with almost no visibility have not been able to locate the bodies of four missing construction workers. >> the collapse of the bridge is so distinct and so severe with the metal that is so misconfigured and so brought together and pancaked, that it continues to make this mission extraordinarily complicated and dangerous for those who are conducting it. >> work crews have been able to open a small channel around the wreckage. the u.s. army corps of engineers expects a larger channel to be open by the end of april, with full access restored to the port by the end of may. >> our time now 515, the port of oakland taking action now to invest in new, cleaner technology powered by hydrogen. $1.2 billion was given by the federal government to ports all across california to set up hydrogen fuel projects. some of the biggest pieces of equipment at the port of oakland will soon

be powered by pure hydrogen, and the exhaust will only be water vapor. that's going to improve the air quality for people who live near the port. >> we have high incidences of lung cancer, cancer, asthma, health impacts that have occurred as a result of unfortunately, fossil fuels. >> california being california, we're also bold in our ambition and in our vision. and a big part of that is making sure that we're also a significant and clean economy. >> now, there are also plans to manufacture and distribute hydrogen fuels at the port. >> it's been a month since election day, and now it is official. there is a tie for second place in the race to succeed retiring south bay congresswoman anna eshoo, silicon valley assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian are tied in votes. and that means in november, both simitian and lowe will face former san jose mayor

sam liccardo in the race to try and win district 16. >> what you will, you know, it's been a wild ride, a roller coaster, a cliffhanger, but, you know, a win is a win is a win. we're in in the march 5th primary, just 37% of registered voters submitted a ballot. >> now, lowe and simitian say they are getting ready to ask voters for their support one more time. >> we're hopeful that now, with the longer period of time that you can't sit on the sidelines, this is it. this is the presidential election. there's not another shot. >> in a tweet, liccardo reacted to the tie last night, writing, quote, given the extraordinarily unlikely outcome of today's vote tally after my first place finish, two of my competitors have tied for second after more than 180,000 votes were cast. it's a good time to buy a lottery ticket. end quote. >> our time is 518. the recent rains we're getting reminds many people in the north bay that flooding is still a major concern in many low lying areas

of marin county. now, yesterday, a nonprofit group hosted a forum looking at ways to improve flood control programs in mill valley and other parts of marin county. severe storms during the winter and early spring have caused heavy flooding and closed down roads. >> let's find out how much rain we are expected to get today. it seemed like there was quite a bit yesterday. steve. >> well, the east bay took the honors, no doubt about it. but we'll take a look here. today will be better. we'll take a look at giants forecast. they'll it'll be much, much better than yesterday, yesterday we had the cold front that gave the pretty good rain. but we'll keep some scattered showers in the forecast. although i think most of it will favor areas to the east. sun clouds 56. it'll be a pretty good little breeze. it's cold aloft, so eventually this air will lift and we'll get some pretty good build ups later today. 28 cold degrees of mount diablo. amazing to see for april 5th. a lot of 30s showing up or low 40s. i mean brentwood 41, vacaville 41, livermore, fremont , hayward, san carlos, berkeley, san rafael, my goodness. napa

airport. everyone's pretty close, upper 30s, 40s. still some snow on the go up in the mountains. that'll continue throughout the day, but see how they act. i mean, even though the low is moving east, all that moisture coming down on the backside, it would not take much for one to zig instead of zag. and that's why i have to keep some activity in the forecast this afternoon. napa county, i would think lake county, napa county, eastern solano contra costa, santa clara. those will be the areas to watch as we get the afternoon build ups. not a lot of snow. maybe another 1 to 4in of snow up in the mountains. they'll take it. you know, anything is a bonus here. but after this, you figure this time of year you get a system this strong, high pressure and warmer temps can't be far away. and that's true. next week looks to be back to spring and warm. the only critical minimums we have to worry about will be tomorrow morning. santa rosa, napa gilroy 34 3534. so just a heads up there. sunday will be better. might even be in the 30s, but it will probably be in the upper 30s, not lower mid 30s here. then after that, temperatures begin to warm up. we can say goodbye to cold lows, partly

cloudy, chilly to cold. still some light rain around, but generally a break. we'll have some sun breaks, then we'll see. build ups, possible showers, thundershowers again, mainly east i think out to the valley as well. 50s on the temps here after weak little system. will brush us on sunday. after that spring returns and temps bump into the 70s valley. >> all right, looking forward to it. thanks, steve. the fundraiser in the south bay for humanitarian relief. the effort by one bay area organization to help people in gaza. and in just a few days, the big american solar eclipse will occur. we'll tell you which parts of the countr will get he bes next. stop. you got it? let's go back to the beginning. are you... your electric future. customized. the fully-electric audi q4 e-tron.

millions of people are heading to locations where they will get a chance to see it. meteorologist mark tamayo explains exactly what happens during a solar eclipse, and how to safely watch the partial eclipse here in northern california. >> a solar eclipse is a result of the sun, the moon, and the earth all lining up. a total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. the regions that are in the center of the moon's shadow experienced the total eclipse. during this time. the sky will darken in the middle of the day, resembling dawn or dusk. the defined route of the moon's shadow across the earth is called the path of

totality on april 8th. the path of totality runs across 13 states from texas to maine. in this area, the sun will be completely covered for 3 to 4 minutes. residents in the bay area can expect a partial solar eclipse monday morning, 34% of the sun will be covered by the moon. the partial eclipse begins during the 10:00 hour, reaching a maximum at 1113 in the morning . safety is key. looking at the sun directly can damage your eyes. your everyday sunglasses will not work. to view the partial eclipse, you will need to use official iso certified glasses. proper eclipse glasses are 100,000 times darker than sunglasses. the clouds and storms can always spoil a show. the national weather service has been producing this daily forecast map that shows the expected cloud pattern for the

big eclipse day. we'll have a link to that forecast map on ktvu. com and looking ahead, the next total solar eclipse is coming up in august 2044. a long time from now. mark tamayo ktvu fox two news. >> well, people from all over the country are traveling the path of monday's eclipse. getting a chance to see the solar eclipse is, for many, a once in a lifetime experience. but a woman from texas calls herself an eclipse chaser. this will be the 21st eclipse she's seen. her passion for the celestial event has taken her to all seven continents. >> first one north america was the 1991. my second one in north america was the 2017, and this will be my third. but i've been to europe for one of them. i've now gone to africa twice. i've gone to australia three times. i've gone to antarctica twice. >> she also goes to schools and shares her passion for solar eclipses with the students at police in san francisco say crime rates are coming down. how

be more east today than west. but still another cool day with 50s on the temps. all right, sal is here 530. anything picking up are still okay. >> we're still okay. no, steve, you and i are going to be out there at oracle park, and i'm wondering if i'm going to, you know, during our 9:00 show. should i wear a sweater? steve >> sal, i'm going to have a light jacket. how's that, a light jacket? >> perfect. all right. thank you. steve see, i have my i have my own personal meteorologist here at ktvu. kind of cool. let's go out and take a look at oakland 880 right near the coliseum. a triple a traffic camera. we'll show you that traffic is going to be okay if you are driving on the commute there. there have been no major problems driving through oakland and getting out toward the area. let's go to the macarthur maze and you can see traffic approaching. the maze looks okay. no major problems. and at the bay bridge this morning, we do not have a big delay yet. 531 let's go back to the headlines. thank you.

>> sal. well, more than 600 workers received layoff notices from apple. it's the company's largest layoff since before the pandemic. ktvu james torres is here to tell us why apple may be making that move and how we're learning about it. james >> alan, good morning to you. well, it's mostly spelled out in state records according to california's employment development department or the edd, apple notified its employees last week. the company filed a working adjustment and retraining notification, known as a warned report with the edd, and those records show 614 apple employees were told they are being let go from eight offices in santa clara county. experts suggest those employees were likely working on apple's self-driving car project, which has been dubbed project titan within the company. apple scrapped those plans earlier this year after quietly working on it since 2014. it's not clear what's next for those employees, though reports show apple usually makes an effort to move people from failed projects to another department. there's some speculation that they may be

working on apple's artificial intelligence unit as well. according to state records, those layoffs are expected to go into effect at the end of may. dave >> all right. thank you james. time is now 432. well today, san francisco supervisor aaron peskin will file the paperwork to run for mayor, joining a field of candidates that's already crowded. >> i am the only person in this race who is running as a liberal and as a progressive. >> now, peskin has been a san francisco supervisor for 17 years now. he's president of the board of supervisors. he says he'll use his experience as a policy maker to help the city deal with homelessness, the fentanyl drug crisis and affordable housing. >> i believe i'm a supervisor who knows how, and i want to be a mayor who makes san francisco the city that knows how. again >> now, tomorrow, aaron peskin plans to make his official announcement that he's running for mayor. he'll do it at portsmouth square in chinatown.

hand. haney says the white house supports this idea. >> the biden administration just released a statement as part of their plan, encouraging leaders to have naloxone in first aid kits, recognizing that easy access to naloxone is key to saving lives. >> now, the bill is moving forward to the state assembly floor for a vote. >> the only survivor of the deadly mass shooting in half moon bay is now suing the owners of the mushroom farm where he worked. pedro felix romero says he was shot five times and his brother was shot and killed. and that january 2023 shooting. romero has now filed suit against california tara gardens and its owner. the lawsuit alleges that the owners failed to protect the workers living on that property, and that the shooter, chunli zhao, had a history of violence. in a statement, the law firm representing romero said in part, quote, pedro and jose are part of society's most vulnerable population. migrant farm workers living in poverty on the margins of our communities. these workers toil long hours in horrific conditions to put food on our

tables. the owners have a responsibility to protect them from violence in their homes. >> our time is 535. police in pacifica released body cam video of the deadly police shooting of a woman who shot and wounded her son. stop, stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop now. police were called on march 27th when the 23 year old man called 911 to say his mother shot him in their apartment on francisco boulevard. the police who arrived, said they saw 50 year old michelle arias driving away from the apartment complex. now, police froze that body cam video to show what appears to be miss reyes pointing a gun at the police. that's when the police fired. the woman died at the scene. the police say they then found that loaded gun in her car . all of this is being investigated by the san mateo county da's office, as well as pacifica police. >> san francisco mayor london breed says recent efforts to

reduce crime in the city are paying off. the mayor points to the city's crime statistics. during the first three months of this year, the police report says property crime has plunged 32% compared to the same time period last year. violent crime dropped 14% and the mayor says there was not a single homicide in the city during the entire month of february. >> every arrow is pointing down whether it's burglaries, car break ins, you name it, rapes. anything that's happening in a major city like san francisco, it's been incredible. >> mayor breed credits this dramatic drop in crime, with san francisco police teaming up with the chp as well as federal law enforcement agencies. the mayor says they're all working together to hold criminals accountable for their actions. >> our time is 536. the city of rohnert park says it has success transitioning former residents at a homeless encampment into housing. the city says 72% of the residents at the robert lake park and ride safe sleeping program transitioned into more

permanent or interim housing. rohnert park counted 210 unhoused people and last year's homelessness census. city says that's a that's down 43% compared to 2022. >> san jose is investing $30 million to double the capacity of one of the city's emergency interim housing sites, the rouz ferrari tiny home site in south san jose, opened in 2021 and has served more than 300 people. mayor matt mehan says the city's plan will add 134 beds to the 124 that are there now. congressman jimmy panetta, who represents south san jose, says the federal government will chip in part of the money to pay for it. >> this approach, these quick build interim communities of which the city already has six. and now we're looking to expand work. they are effective. it is an all hands on deck issue. it is an all levels of government issue. and i'm proud to say that

the federal government is actually playing its part. >> the city says so far, about half of the 1500 people served at interim housing sites have gone on to find permanent housing. >> our time is 538. a scare last night for tenants at a san pablo apartment complex where a fire broke out. contra costa fire says flames sparked in an attic just after 8 p.m. it happened at the el portal gardens apartments on san pablo avenue. about 50 of the residents there had to be evacuated. the fire was contained fast. no one was hurt. the cause of that fire is under investigation. >> 538 is the time now, and on this friday, looking ahead to the weekend, steve paulson, what can we expect today in the next several days? >> it's a lot of pressure, ali. >> well, i have a lot of plans this weekend. >> okay. well that makes sense then. we'll start with today the all important giants home opener i think we'll be all right here, much better than yesterday. although you can't rule out

maybe a passing shower or two, but just that it'll it won't hang around like yesterday when they had continuous rain. mix of sun, clouds, little breeze, 56 game time. but in most of the activity today looks to be inland. the air aloft is really cold here. when you get 2829 degrees at mount diablo, you'll get again. you know we're into april here, april 5th and you get some afternoon heating. it's called diurnal effect. that will no doubt about it, generate some activity, especially inland. later today 30s though for many, i mean temperatures 30s, 40s. one overriding factor for thunderstorms though the temperatures the high temps will still be well below average. but still, i don't think it'll matter today. the upper low is making its move out, but you can see along the coast there's still a lot that has to come down. so that's why we have to, you know, it's called sire. that's my forecast today. just because i don't trust this thing . still some snow up in the mountains. they'll pick up another, maybe 1 to 3in of snow or four. but see where the areas are favoring here. livermore, concord, fremont, fairfield, napa. and i'll buy that in lake

county, napa county, eastern solano contra costa look to be in the in the window for activity later today. a couple inches of snow. and then after that we're good to go. the high, though is getting ready. it's itching and raring to go. it won't get here until probably monday and then we'll see temps back into the 70s. the critical minimums would be saturday morning. santa rosa 34, napa 35. forecast. concord 39. that's not critical, but san jose 37, gilroy 34. so some of you agricultural interests or gardens put your garden in and they shouldn't last too long. but that will be the coldest morning saturday by far. then after that you don't have to worry about it. april chill. but more sun today. we'll get some sun breaks more than yesterday, but i still think there'll be some activity in the afternoon. >> you guys all right? thank you steve. a north bay cycling community in the national spotlight coming up at six. we take you on the family friendly outing along downtown santa rosa. that is showcasing a group of bike riders and only ten days are left until the tax filing

deadline. >> retired the science looking at why some people wait until the m minute

i'm the big see. i'm here to tell you about skin cancer. skin cancer is the cancer you can see. is there skin cancer on me right now? i'm not a dermatologist, but do you know who is? who? your dermatologist! everybody has to get checked!

e.r. doctor in los gatos. he just returned from a medical mission in the region where he treated patients in the middle of the war zone. some of the money raised will help send food to palestinians caught up in the war with israel. >> that's why i come here to support those people, especially in this month of ramadan. >> rain or shine, we're going to be fine. people are committed to coming out to this amazing event to support and show solidarity for the people of gaza. >> organizers say this will be their final event of the spring, but they hope to hold another fundraiser later this year. and new this morning, the israeli military has fired two officers for their roles in the drone strikes in gaza that killed seven aid workers. the military says an investigation into the incident found that the officers mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement. the seven workers there were with world central kitchen delivering food to gaza's people. israel also says it will reopen a border crossing to allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. that came after president biden spoke with israeli prime minister benjamin

netanyahu, telling him that any future u.s. support for the war in gaza would depend on israel taking more action to protect civilians and aid workers. >> our time is now 545 more home steamer products used on clothing have been recalled now because of burn injuries. there's an expanded recall of the black and decker home steamer units, affecting about 2 million units. the consumer product safety commission says dozens of the hot water burn injuries from the steamers have been reported. the units were sold at wal mart, target, bed bath and beyond and amazon between june of 2021 through february of 2024. by the way, if you have one, you can ask for a full refund from the company. >> the omni hotel and resort chain says it has launched a full investigation into a cyber attack. the company says hackers forced it to temporarily shut down some of its computer systems earlier this week. that led to longer check in and checkout times for guests staying at omni hotels in san

francisco and other cities across the country. cyber security experts say these types of online attacks are becoming more and more common. >> i think what's interesting is not just the these things are becoming more frequent, but really as a result of just how connected everything is, they're having a larger effect. the attack also created issues with room keys as well as online reservations. >> omni says it is still working with cybersecurity experts to make sure all of its computers are back online. >> our time is 546. all locations of the $0.99 only stores will be closing. the company says it's winding down all business operations and closing 371 stores across california, texas, arizona and nevada. the interim ceo blamed financial problems stemming from the pandemic, also changing consumer demands and rising inflation. the company hasn't announced a closing date for these discount stores. >> if you are still sharing a

disney+ password, your days to do that are now limited. the streaming platform says it is going to officially crack down on people sharing passwords outside of their households. users will have to start paying to share their passwords in june. disney+ already prohibits password sharing in its terms of service, but it does not yet require users to pay extra for sharing their login information, the company says people who are suspected of using someone else's account will be prompted to create their own account starting this summer. >> all right, time is 547. ali, this is not you, but there are people who procrastinate to file taxes. well, today's april 5th. that means the deadline to file taxes is only ten days away. the irs predicts almost about a third of american taxpayers are going to wait until the last minute to file their federal and state tax returns, and psychologists have found procrastination is common every tax filing season, mainly because of the fact people generally put off doing things they don't enjoy, those for whom

negative attitudes tended to generalize more strongly seem to be the kind of people that delay filing their taxes. >> we find that people with a negative valence waiting bias are more cautious. >> now, several studies have found most tax procrastinators assume they won't be getting a refund, said they don't see the need to hurry up and file their taxes. >> not me, but definitely my father. oh, really? okay, every year for as long as i can remember, he would run to the post office at the last minute. sal, have you gotten it done? >> i haven't, i think i'm going to have them done, but they're not quite ready yet. ali okay, we'll we'll see. >> we have some time. >> i do have a little time. all right. good morning. we have to go right to oakland because at the macarthur maze, a triple a traffic camera showing us a crash westbound 80 on the transition ramp to southbound 880. and it looks like they're holding traffic here. this is a big mess here. as you come down

to the area. so right there is where the crash is. that's the connector ramp going to interstate 80. and that's why we do have that problem there. and over here something unrelated. this is not sure what this is here, but i don't think that's related to the other crash. that could be something else on the side. so we're going to keep an eye on that for you. south bay commute. we've had a couple of things going on there. northbound 280 at 1717. traffic may be a little bit slow and so we'll keep an eye on that for you. and by the way, i skipped out of order here. this is the bay bridge. we don't have a big backup now, as you can see by the triple a traffic camera. 549 let's bring steve back with today's weather south. >> thank you sir. we'll take a look at the giants home opener forecast i think much better than yesterday. no doubt we don't have the front coming through which gave the rain. they picked up a half inch plus in the city today it's more hit and miss. sun cloud showers i would think though some areas

east favor more than the west. so looks okay today. not very warm, but still. i mean it'll be better than yesterday. the issue is though, there's so much coming down the coast that all it takes is one of those to just take a little sharp right turn. and there you go. i mean, you would be in on some rain, but we're getting a little break now. yesterday was really about east bay thunderstorms. dublin hayward, danville, castro valley, orinda and livermore all between 84 100 and over an inch of rain. even locations out to the valley. i don't usually show stockton because that's not my forecast zone, but they picked up over an inch of rain as well. boulder creek, 91 100 brentwood and antioch also had good rain as well. berkeley hills, morgan hill, clayton, oakland, san francisco, napa all between a half inch to almost an inch. mount diablo is cold for this time of year, and there's no doubt about that. 29. there were 28 with a northwest to 21mph. don't see that too often. we won't. next week it'll probably be in 60s next week. 30s, 40s on the temps. quite cold for us

here, but some of the cloud cover a little bit of a breeze, kind of keeping temps above, but look at all the 30s to the north, not only mendocino county, lake county, sonoma is 36, vallejo, richmond, san anselmo, fairfax, rohnert park, sebastopol, occidental, windsor, healdsburg, cloverdale, all in there in the 30s. tomorrow will be colder. i think we'll see 3334 tomorrow, just for a heads up after that, you don't have to worry about it. but the low continues to churn out of the area. but because the nature of it is so close enough that we'll get some afternoon heating and that will probably trigger more activity today, i don't think it will be as widespread as yesterday. snow in the mountains. so for us today, today looks a mix of sun clouds and we'll get some scattered showers in the afternoon, but we're almost on the drier side of this system. snow will continue in the mountains at least. another couple of inches. looks to filter and then for the weekend looks pretty good. sunday a weak system will clip us, but that high is raring to go. it won't get here though until we get to about monday tuesday. then we'll get back in the 70s again. tomorrow morning looks to be the coldest after

that. you don't have to worry about it. >> thank you steve. well business is booming for an east bay store, but what makes this place different? the people shopping for these items don't get to see what's inside these boxes before they buy them. we'll tell you about the bargains that are drawing people to this shop in concord. >> and a tragic incident in africa where an american tourist was killed by an elephant. what we now know about what happen while on saf i

no two bodies are the same. some pads, never got that message. but, always flexfoam did! it protects against different flows for up to zero leaks. and it flexes to fit all bodies, for up to zero feel. feel it yourself with always flexfoam. -we're done. -what about these? looks right. nooo... nooo... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty absorbs spills like a sponge. and is 2x more absorbent so you can use less. bounty, the quicker picker upper.

when an elephant went on attack. six guests were on a safari game drive over the weekend when an elephant charged the vehicle the woman was in. the safari called the bull elephant aggressive and said the guide on the tour wasn't able to get the jeep out of the way. quickly enough, the group realized the 79 year old woman died when the vehicle flipped over. >> first jeep was able to get away, but the second jeep wasn't able to get away and they got stopped by some vegetation and they just couldn't get out of there fast enough. they rolled over to a tree and they sat there, i believe, for a solid five minutes, not she said. they didn't bat an eye. the elephant was right in front of them, staring them down. she said she thought he was probably going to

kill them, but after five minutes she said, i think he got bored and he just wandered off. >> zambia's department of national parks and wildlife are working with local police and the us embassy to investigate the incident. >> our time now. 556 a federal judge ordered the us border patrol to stop detaining migrant children in outdoor camps south of san diego. the judge ordered them to stop sending minors to unprotected detention sites. he also wants the children to be reunited with their parents or family members. she said. the current practices violate a legally binding settlement signed 25 years ago by federal officials. the judge also said border patrol has been illegally holding hundreds of children without adequate food or water. >> well, despite public criticism, san francisco municipal transportation agency says it is making great progress on a major transit and traffic project. the l taraval improvement project was designed to improve pedestrian safety, ease neighborhood congestion and

speed up muni service in one of the busiest traffic corridors of the city. sfmta says the project is on track to be complete this fall, but some residents have complained the project seems to have taken too long, they say, since construction started back in 2019, parking spaces have been eliminated and that's reduced shopping and forced some businesses to close. >> it is 557. the city of berkeley has been fined for air quality violations at its old landfill site, the bay area air quality management district says berkeley will have to pay $130,000 for seven violations at its former landfill, which is now cesar chavez park. those violations date back to 2019 and 2020. between 20 2019 and 2022, the district says the fines are because of failures of the city's gas collection system and not submitting emissions testing results well, two northern california hiking trails are being named, some of the most popular in the whole country the

nuptials. >> time now is 640, and we need to check in with steve paulson before he heads out on the road. yeah, to head to oracle park. >> well, they'll play, but rain is actually kind of common for giants home openers. last season's was delayed. also in 2019 it was delayed. the last one that rained out was 2018. before that 2006. i'm leaving some showers in the in the forecast. what's interesting, though, is the current low in the city is 44 for, normal for this time of year is 49. they did briefly drop to 43. the record low for today in san francisco is 41. in 1875. i don't think they'll get below 43, but still pretty cold here as bailey has been talking about. it's cold out there, but it will be better today. but it will be on the cool side. normal high is 63, so they'll be well below that. some of the 30s this morning sonoma, fairfax, petaluma, scotts valley, menlo park, kensington, hiddenbrooke if you played golf, you know where that is in vallejo and santa cruz, all between 36 and 39 degrees. look at all the 30s.

mendocino county, lake county, there are many. even richmond's in there. san anselmo, i mean, take your pick. rohnert park, sebastopol, occidental. quite cold for us for this time of year. the low is still churning, but it's slowly drifting out of the area. so we're on the drier side. but look at the rain for the east bay. the thunderstorms. yesterday you took top honors dublin, hayward, danville, castro valley, orinda, livermore 84 100 to over an inch of rain. other totals brentwood had good had good rains. stockton had good rain. mount tam, union city, redwood city, vallejo, evergreen, petaluma, and half moon bay all between 44 100 and over an inch. the low will be with us today and then after that we'll be on the drier side. but an april chill but more sun today. but we'll get some build ups later on. there's still some activity. we're not done yet. 50s on the temps. coldest lows will be tomorrow morning. i think we'll get some 30 threes in there, but then after that everything looks okay. next week looks warmer. all right, steve, thank you. time is 642 for one store in the east bay. business is booming, but you won't know

what's inside these boxes. they're selling the bargains that are drawing people to this store in concord. >> and there's new development in one of the bay area's most famous kidnaping cases. richard allen davis, the man convicted of abducting and killing 12 year old polly klaas, will try to overturn his death sentence today, coming up at seven. why? the defense says his sentence should be reexamined more than 30 years after the murder. >> and thousands of people go in and out of the state capitol building every day. well, local leaders in sacramento claiming there's a hazardous material leak and the state is doing nothing about it. we have details about a lawsuit that's be g filed with the co .

francisco boulevard. the police officers who arrived say they saw 50 year old michelle arias driving away from the apartment complex. now the police froze that body cam video there to show what appears to be miss arias pointing a gun at the police officers. that's when the police opened fire. she died there at the scene, and the police say they found a loaded gun in her car. that incident is being investigated by the san mateo county da's office as well as pacifica police. well, the only survivor of the deadly mass shooting in half moon bay is now suing the owners of the mushroom farm where it happened. pedro felix romero says he was shot five times and lost a brother in that shooting. on january of 2023, romero has now filed a lawsuit against california tierra gardens and its owners. the lawsuit claims the owners failed to protect the workers living on the property, and that

the shooter, chun li zhao, had a history of violence. now, in a statement, the law firm representing romero said in part, quote, pedro and jose are part of society's most vulnerable population. migrant farm workers living in poverty on the margins of our communities. the owners have a responsibility to protect them from violence in their homes, and a proposal to require narcan in workplace first aid kits is moved forward. now in the state assembly, san francisco assembly member matt haney, who sponsored the bill, says it would make sure that businesses have life saving overdose reversal drug on hand. and he says the white house is supporting the idea. the bill is now moving forward to the assembly floor for a vote. >> a walmart lawsuit settlement could earn some customers up to $500. the company agreed to a $45 million settlement over claims that it overcharged on weighted items. customers who

made a purchase on those weighted items between october 19th, 2018 and january of 2024 are eligible. consumers must submit a claim with their receipt by june 5th in order to receive 2% of the total cost of their purchase, which is capped at $500. walmart denies any wrongdoing in the case. a new study says there is now evidence that the growing popularity of electric vehicles in the bay area is reducing the level of carbon dioxide emissions. researchers at uc berkeley say a network of nearly 60 carbon dioxide sensors around the bay area provide the first evidence that electric vehicles are cutting down on carbon emissions from 2018 to 2022. the sensors recorded a small but consistent drop in emissions of about 1.8% per year. richmond moves has expanded its service area to serve the entire city. the low cost, on demand version of uber allows residents to connect with transit hubs without a private car. rides cost $2 per trip and are free for seniors and students ages 13 to 18. the

service operates monday through friday from seven in the morning till seven in the evening. well, a store in the east bay is selling something unusual. amazon packages still in the box . marini's discounts in concord is selling what people didn't want. the storefront has rows of unopened boxes with shipping labels ripped out with an amazon product page type taped to the front, indicating what's inside. the boxes are returns that didn't make it back on rotation. now there's no guarantee of what's inside or the condition of it, but you can get the boxes for as little as $0.50 to $1. >> would you do it? >> that's an interesting concept. i would go in to just kind of check it out and see what's there. you know, maybe you need something mundane like a, you know, new set, a new set of forks or something, some tupperware, maybe they you can get a good deal there. >> you see the label? okay. >> it's creative time. now is 650. we want to talk about the traffic this morning. sal is on the road headed to oracle park this is one of the problem spots

he mentioned earlier. we're going to go back to it. this is the macarthur maze because in the northbound direction of 880, which is what you see right here in and i can't access it there, right here. so there was a crash there earlier and they had to get a tow truck out there. chp notes say that they had to stop all traffic in that direction for a little bit so that they could turn the tow truck around. so now they're finally letting just 1 or 2 lanes of traffic through. so northbound 880 at macarthur maze. and anything that eastbound direction of 80 is going to be affected by all of this. and backing up at the toll plaza, it's just going to be beyond this spot. it's going to be a pretty slow but getting to the toll plaza, because a lot of traffic is being held back by that tie up. you see the traffic getting onto the span is very, very light. richmond san rafael bridge toll plaza is doing okay. it's a little bit sluggish, but no major problems there to tell you about. let's check in with steve paulson, who is keeping an eye on the weather forecast on this friday morning.

>> we are indeed it's a cold one out there, a lot of 30s. i'll show you that in a second, they'll play today, but i just have to keep some maybe scattered showers in the forecast there. there's so many out there kind of rotating around. it's cold though. the low made it down to 43. normal. low. this time of year is 49. going 56 on a high. normal 63. so below on the low and below on the high. the low though is kicking east and south. but there's just so much coming down the coast that all it would take is one little system to pass by and go, hey, there it is. but look at the lows this morning. sonoma, fairfax, petaluma, scotts valley, menlo park, kensington, hiddenbrooke, santa cruz, all between 36 and 39. cordelia is also 36 and i think cotati is in there as well, pinos 37. kensington is now 38 orinda, lafayette in there, look at that. i mean, that's for this time of year. castro valley as well. that's cold. speaking of the east bay boy, you took honors yesterday. dublin, hayward, danville, castro valley, orinda and livermore. it was lit up 84, 110 over an inch of rain. those that was the most i saw, most locations are around

a half inch to three quarters. boulder creek, brentwood had good rain. berkeley hills, morgan hill, clayton, oakland, san francisco, napa all between a half inch to almost an inch. the low is still hanging around, but see this right here? this is kind of the key just coming down right here. all that all it takes is one of those to go over us and that could do it. but i would think areas inland east bay in napa county, lake county, solano contra costa will be in the mix probably for today. some activity popping up 50s on the temps, improving weather next week. they'll look sunny and warmer. >> okay, steve. thank you. our time is 652. billionaire elon musk digging deeper into his bank account. we'll tell you why he's increasing the pay for some tesla employees, and we'll tell you about an east bay city getting creative in order to boost tourism. the prizes that include movie tickets when dining out in concord, plus.

celebration at the conservatory of flowers. it was the first building built in the park in 1879. the event included entertainment activities and they cut a birthday cake. leaders called the park one of san francisco's greatest assets to understand. >> golden gate park is to understand san francisco. from the post gold rush years to the 1906 earthquake and fire from the panama pacific international exposition to the summer of love, from the aids epidemic to the explosion of technology, business and jobs, this park has served as the city's oasis through all its joy, its misery, its growth, its innovation. >> the golden gate park is in the running in a contest by usa today to be named the best city park in america. usa today describes it as a wonderful urban oasis. well, one city in the east bay is offering an

exciting chance for food lovers this month. the city of concord is inviting people to play bingo at 24, participating restaurants. a customers will get a bingo card and a sticker for the restaurant they visited. if you collect five stickers in a row, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, you complete a bingo entry. each of the completed entry gives a chance to win raffle prizes. now, the city is hoping that'll encourage people to visit local restaurants. here's something else to try a taco tuesday bike ride in santa rosa. it will be featured on national tv next month. this weekly outing attracted more than 300 people for a ride to a local food park last week. a small camera crew captured it all for a tv program called the american dream that episode is due to air on

streaming platforms sometime in late may. it is now 659. the return of oakland's first friday, postponed because of rainy weather. the popular community event was supposed to resume today after a hiatus of three months. the last time first friday took place was back in december. organizers blamed that break on financial problems for the festival. the monthly block party has been a gathering place for various artists, performers and small businesses in oakland for several years. a new date for the next event has not been announced as yet. well, it is a bay area kidnaping case that made national headlines for years. we'll tell you why. after more than 30 years since that murder. the man convicted of kidnaping and killing polly klaas says his death sentence should be overturned and big pay days for pge exes

inside the complexes they build. now, supporters of this approach say it would make oakland's neighborhoods more inclusive and more diverse. >> the campbell city council has approved a plan to dramatically increase the number of affordable homes in the growing, that growing community in santa clara county. this week, the council agreed to rezone many neighborhoods in the city specifically to allow low income housing. many of the homes would be built on the major streets of campbell, including south bascom avenue and south winchester boulevard. the city hopes to complete construction on 3800 new homes within the next seven years. >> all right, ali, time is 606 tonight in dallas. the warriors will go for their seventh straight victory. last night, the warriors won. they defeated houston. they played the team that's closest to them. with that final play in spot, the warriors controlled the game from start to finish. steph curry and klay thompson were hot. they both had 29 points and the warriors won 133 to 110. and after the game steph talked

about the urgency the warriors have in playing. now as the regular season is winding down. >> for us to be in this situation where we have an opportunity, to keep hope alive and, you know, see what happens in a couple weeks to try to get into a playoff series. like, that's because we dug deep and, you know this, it matters to us the second half. >> and with six games left in the season, the warriors right now have the 10th seed in the western conference. that would put them in the play in game for the playoffs. now they're four games ahead of houston. with those six games left, 607 is the time. >> and sal castaneda keeping an eye on the road. sal it was very busy yesterday at this time. already when the rain started to come down. is it a little more calm today? >> it is calmer, that's for sure. i think that the rain obviously always kind of makes the commute a little bit more. well robust is a word that i like to use and you might use a

different word. the bay bridge doesn't look all that crowded now. we did have a problem at the macarthur maze. i'm happy to tell you, via our triple a traffic camera that things are better in the westbound direction. however, there is still a stalled truck eastbound right there at the macarthur maze for people driving from westbound 580 on to 80. and for some reason, traffic is, well, they haven't been able to move it. they've been there for a while now. so we'll see what happens with that. fortunately, the south bay commute looks pretty good and up the peninsula we're doing fine. also on the nimitz freeway, so we're hoping that today is going to be a lighter than usual commute. day 608. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal. it is official. three candidates will head to the general election in november after a tie in a south bay congressional race. we'll hear from two of the candidates who tied for second and are now moving on. >> and for the a's one final season at the oakland coliseum. we'll tell you how fans feel

about the team's move to st sacramento for

it's time to get away and cache in, at cache creek casino resort, to rock and to roll. to go all out or... go all in. with four stars and rising stars, northern california's premier casino resort is the perfect place...

...to do as much -or as little- as you want. make your get away now and cache in at cache creek casino resort. playing its final season in oakland, but they're still angry and frustrated by the news that the team is leaving town. ktvu is andre senior joins us live in studio and has reaction from fans both in oakland and in their new, soon to be home in sacramento. 80 miles away. andre. >> well, ali, it's clearly a

devastating loss for loyal a's fans. they have now joined raider and warriors fan in watching the team they love. pack up move away out of oakland to another city. many heartbroken a's fans have been attending games at the coliseum since the team first moved to the bay area from kansas city back in 1968. paul becky meisner is one of those longtime oakland a's super fans. he's also an author who has written extensively of the rich history of pro sports in oakland. he represents four generations of loyal a's fans. >> my dad took me to games. i took my boys to games. now i'm taking my granddaughters. >> i think it's devastating, but it at least we have clarity and at least now we can look at what the future is going to hold. >> now, at the same time, the a's move is creating a lot of excitement among baseball fans in sacramento. many believe the smaller minor league ballpark that is home to the sacramento river cats might be a good fit

for the a's. last year, the athletics averaged just 10,000 fans a game at the 63,000 seat oakland coliseum. >> much more intimate setting, for sure. i mean, i think it's about 14,000 people in the stadium there, and i imagine they'll probably fill it up for most of their games revenue wise. >> it's going to be incredible. for us, that means that there's going to be games at the stadium probably every day of the week between the river cats and the a's. >> well, sacramento fans also hope the temporary move for the a's could mean the city could become home to a permanent major league baseball expansion team in the future. now, baseball commissioner rob manfred has said big league baseball is now making plans to expand from 30 to 32 teams. but it's still very early in that process. and even the owner of the river cats says this move by the a's is no guarantee. sacramento will actually get a team. many a's fans are also pushing mlb to bring an expansion team to a new ownership group. here oakland here in oakland. >> dave. okay, andre. thank you. time now 614. and many jobs are going to be lost as the a's

leave oakland and the bay area. >> there are going to be some reductions in our in our staffing. you know, that's just it's part of the situation. it's a sad thing. and you know, i we have a great group of people with the a's and they've done a great job in putting a great product out there. but that is something that comes with this. >> now, a's president dave kaval also said those employees will be getting severance packages and help with finding new jobs. but the union that represents hundreds of food and beverage workers at the coliseum accused the a's of abandoning its staff, and many of them have worked at the coliseum for more than 20 years now. in a statement, unite here local two said in part, quote, the majority are african american. these workers have made thousands of game days enjoyable for countless fans. their union wages and benefits have supported the workers families and communities, and their work has helped make john fisher even richer. the ktvu will be following all of this

all season long. be sure to download the free fox local app for your smart tv to get the very latest on the a's and their last season in oakland. >> well, it has been a month since election day and now it is official there is a tie for second place in the race to succeed retiring south bay congresswoman anna eshoo, silicon valley assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian received the exact same number of votes, and that means both simitian and lowe will move on to the general election and face off against former san jose mayor sam liccardo in the district 16 race. >> call it what you will. you know, it's been a wild ride, a roller coaster, a cliffhanger, but, you know, a win is a win is a win. we're in in the march 5th primary, just 37% of registered voters submitted a ballot. >> now, lowe and simitian say they are getting ready to ask voters for their support one more time. >> we're hopeful that now, with the longer period of time that

you can't sit on the sidelines, this is it. this is the presidential election. there's not another shot. >> in a tweet, liccardo reacted to the tie last night, writing, quote, given the extraordinarily unlikely outcome of today's vote tally after my first place finish, two of my competitors have tied for second after more than 180,000 votes were cast. it is a good time to buy a lottery ticket. >> our time is 616. the district attorney of santa clara county wants to remove all condemned south bay prisoners from san quentin's death row. now, this week, district attorney jeff rosen petitioned the courts to resentence 14 condemned inmates from the county to a life in prison without the possibility of parole. rosen says it's part of a pledge he made four years ago to stop pursuing the death penalty. governor newsom imposed a moratorium on the death penalty in california just a year earlier. >> san mateo county is committing $1 million to fight loneliness. the cdc centers for disease control estimates that

loneliness and social isolation cost the us economy more than $400 billion a year. san mateo county supervisor david canepa says the $1 million is a one time allocation to the peninsula family service. san mateo county is the first county in the nation to recognize loneliness as a public health emergency. >> at 617 sound new. i'm missed seeing him. so he came back today. you were lonely. >> yeah. he needed sal's help. >> well, he's going to watch the commute for us. >> i had us covered a little bit. i'm not the expert that sal is. sal is the man. >> i'm telling you. i'm telling you that ali does a great job, a great job, and. and i'm, you know, ali, real quick, i'm surprised you haven't done weather because you've done everything else. >> you know, steve was joking about that. that actually requires science knowledge that i don't have. >> good morning everyone, triple a traffic cameras here. in a minute. i'm going to put the map up here. the traffic is moving along pretty well. we don't have a lot going on. we're hoping for a friday light. and i spoke

about those traffic cameras from triple a, here is my favorite. the bay bridge. because when the bay bridge is doing well, everything else also follows. we had a crash leading to the bay bridge earlier where they cleared it up and boom, things are much better. so i like that now. we still have that stalled truck at the macarthur maze on the connector ramp from westbound 580 to eastbound 80. it's been there for a while now. they're letting traffic through. it's not even causing a huge backup, so we'll see when they get that out of there. but so far things are better there. 618 let's go back to steve with today's weather. all right sal thank you sir a lot of 30s here showing up, many of sonoma's 36 degrees. i even saw 39 at santa cruz. so talk about a cold pattern. there are a lot of 30s. oakland. one observation, 37 degrees. so a lot going around. i'll put a list together when i have time. there's boulder creek, felton, scotts valley, soquel, aptos, santa cruz. how about that? all colder than

cupertino, saratoga, campbell, santa clara, san jose, morgan hill, san martin and hollister. don't see that all the time, especially on april 5th. but we do today. our lowest kicking out. but there's still a lot of activity around the area, including snow up in the mountains. i think we'll get some activity bubbling up this afternoon, especially inland. so lake county, napa, solano, contra costa, santa clara look to be the prime suspects today. that high though is on its way. critical minimums for tomorrow. that's the main factor. i think those will be the coldest temps, maybe some 33, 30 four's in there for saturday after that. don't have to worry about it. temps will start to rebound a little bit, but next week does look warmer. so in april chill but a little bit more sun today yet still some scattered showers and possible thundershowers, especially east in the afternoon. >> all right thank you steve. well billions of dollars in federal money is heading to the east bay. the funds are going to be used to build a hydrogen hub at the port of oakland. we'll explain what it would do. and a new effort to protect kids from the dangers of harmful pesticides. the lawsuit, filed

efforts to reduce crime are paying off the mayor points to the city's crime statistics during the first three months of this year. the police report says property crime has plunged 32% compared to the same time period last year. violent crime

dropped 14% and the mayor says there was not a single homicide in the city during the entire month of february. every arrow is pointing down whether it's burglaries, car break ins, you name it, rapes. >> anything that's happening in a major city like san francisco, it's been incredible the way we are. >> mayor breed says the drop in crime is a result of san francisco police teaming up with the chp and federal law enforcement agencies. the mayor says they are all working together to hold criminals accountable for their actions. executives at pg and e received major compensations last year, the mercury news reports. the company's chief executive officer, patricia pope, made 20% more in 2023 than the year before. a filing with the securities and exchange commission shows that poppy is among five executives who received big returns last year. the news comes as customers deal with continuing rate hikes. pg and e says executives compensation is tied to delivering improvement in safety, operational and financial performance. state

lawmakers and the governor have announced a deal to reduce the budget shortfall. under yesterday's announcement, california democratic leaders announced $17 billion in spending cuts, delays and deferrals. that includes one time spending cuts to education and climate programs. it also defers spending on public transit and facilities improvements for preschools. assembly leaders hope to introduce a formal bill on the budget by next week. well, california's largest teachers union is fighting a proposal at the state capitol that would change how kids are taught to read. the bill would require instruction in what's often referred to as the science of reading. that teaching method focuses on phonics instruction and showing kids how to sound out words. instead of teaching kids to learn words through the pictures and context of a story, the california teachers association says it does not like the bill because it takes away teacher and school districts control over what curriculum they can use. a coalition of environmentalists, teachers and labor groups has

filed a lawsuit against a state regulator for allowing the spraying of pesticides near three schools in monterey county. the lawsuit says the use of those pesticides near the schools puts kindergartners. excuse me, school children and teachers in monterey's pajaro valley at risk. the suit asks a superior court judge to block the use of pesticides in fields near those schools. well, the port of oakland is taking steps to invest in new, cleaner technology powered by hydrogen. ports across california were given a federal investment of $1.2 billion to set up hydrogen fuel projects. some of the biggest pieces of equipment at the port will soon be powered by pure hydrogen, with the exhaust being just water vapor that will improve the air quality for people who live near the port. >> we have high incidences of lung cancer, cancer, asthma, health impacts that have occurred as a result of unfortunately, fossil fuels. >> california being california, we're also bold in our ambition and in our vision, and a big

part of that is making sure that we're also a significant and clean economy. >> there are also plans to manufacture and distribute hydrogen fuels at the port. well, we are live at oracle park with the final preparations for today's giants home opener. what you need to know if you plan on heading to the ballpark and a new san francisco tradition that comes with a robotaxi ride, meet the tech entrepreneur couple whose wedding has g e viral

community coming together to help people in gaza. you're about to hear from an e.r. doctor who just came back from gaza and is now leading a local fundraising effort, and hundreds of bay area apple employees are being laid off. we'll take a look at what triggered this mass, this first mass job cuts since the pandemic. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> let's take you live to the opening bell at the new york stock exchange. the jobs report out this morning. and it was stronger than economists expected. the labor department says employers added about 303,000 jobs last month. nationwide, the unemployment rate fell to 3.8. now, analysts say that could mean that the fed may hold off on cutting interest

rates for a while. san francisco based levi strauss ringing the opening bell. welcome back to mornings on two. >> i'm allie rasmus and good morning, i'm dave clark. welcome to friday. it's april 5th. steve, you were right. you're saying giants fans should wear a coat or a jacket at at the game today? >> well, it won't be bad. there it'll be better than yesterday. but it will be cool, that's for sure. it'll be below average. normal temp for the city is 63 this time of year. i went 56. but it's a cold one out there. 30s for many on the temps here under mostly cloudy skies. there are some breaks in it. we are seeing a break as the low moves off, but there's just so much offshore and we'll see a lot popping up later today. so i know they'll play. i mean you know, but they've been delayed not many times for the home opener. but sun clouds. i'll keep some showers in the forecast, but i think we'll be all right here just because there's so much out there. but 50s on the temps. all right. allie, is it you? >> yes, it is me. i'm filling in

for sal as he makes his way over to oracle park. but we have you covered on traffic south bay traffic is kind of the problem spot at this hour. there is a crash northbound 101 at trimble that's blocking one of the slow lanes. also, a crash on northbound 101 or excuse me, northbound 17 at idlewild. that is blocking all lanes right now. so if you're coming from the santa cruz area headed to the south bay, be aware of that. here's a live picture of 280 in san jose. a little bit slow in that northbound direction. highway 24 in lafayette. walnut creek area. getting busy as well, but no big problems there. and the bay bridge toll plaza is pretty light at this time. well, the countdown is on to the first pitch at giants opening day today. >> yeah, as the excitement is growing, ktvu bailey o'carroll is already down on the field at oracle park. bailey, good morning. >> good morning dave and ali. you can feel that excitement building ahead of this first pitch being thrown out. of course it is still hours away but we are down on the field. i want to give you a look at what

this field looks like. of course it was dumping rain last night in the city. it did stop. we have not seen any rain this morning since we've been out here. i got out here just about a 4:00 this morning. so it is staying dry, which is, of course, good for the field. good for everybody out here. and you heard steve talking about how cold it is. i am wearing the largest winter coat i have. sal actually sent me a text right before we came on the air asking me just how cold it is out here. i can tell you it is very cold. hopefully as the sun comes up, it warms up a little. just a little bit would be a little, a little more comfortable. but so a couple people who are very excited for this game, of course, all giants fans are excited, but maybe two people who are more excited than the average fan is none other than star giants pitcher logan webb. we talked to his two grandmothers just about how they're feeling ahead of this season opener here at oracle park in san francisco. now jan and patty, they come to every

game that logan pitches at. and i can tell you from experience talking to them, they are some of his biggest fans, some of his loudest fans, certainly in the crowd when they are here they are the two grandmas are best friends and roommates. logan calls them actually the team grandmas, and they told me that because of all the new faces on this team and of course the new coaching staff, that logan helped to implement something new in the clubhouse with the new players arrive, he wants them to shake hands and say good morning to everybody. >> it's sort of an icebreaker and i know that you know what it's like going into a group of people that are already established. and so it's kind of nice. it's an icebreaker and you're not walking on eggshells. yeah. >> the grandmas tell me that they're most excited for all of the new pitchers. they're also excited to watch the offense this year. they say that they expect it to be a little more high powered than last season.

they say logan told them that this new coaching staff has each player take batting practice every day. so that's something that they are hoping maybe is a little bit of a stronger, kind of asset to this team than maybe in years past. and now we've moved down to the dugout, to show you the giants have put out some of their giveaways that they're going to be giving out this season. so we want to come down here to the dugout to show you some of these things. they have all these beanies that they're going to be giving away for some of the college nights. you see a usf, cal, san jose state, sf state and even a new addition this season is oregon, the oregon beanie. they're going to have a hello kitty night, a disney night where you can get this baseball hat. of course, with those famed mickey mouse ears. and then my favorite of this entire lineup. now, i can't say i'm the biggest star wars fan. i have not seen all the movies, but, i could certainly see myself rocking this hat, as

i'm sure a lot of giants fans could also see themselves, killing it in that hat, if you will. but fans excited ahead of this opening day, home opener for this giants team. and of course, hoping that this team performs well all season long. reporting from oracle park. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> it looks like fun. i would like to grab that hello kitty hat. bailey, thanks for showing us all that. we'll have special coverage of today's giants home opener all morning on mornings on two. coming up on the nine, we will have live interviews and weather from oracle park. be sure to check back this afternoon for highlights and reactions from fans, as expectations are high this season for the retooled giants. well, more than 600 workers received layoff notices from apple. its latest round of tech worker layoffs in the bay area. ktvu james torres here to tell us what we know about why apple is making the move and how we're learning about it. james. >> good morning. well, for practically the entirety of the

pandemic, apple was able to avoid some of those large, massive layoffs. we saw that in the thousands for other tech giants. and while apple's numbers are much smaller than compared to the rest. tech experts say it's still a sign of the times and an insight into what it takes to run this kind of business. it's mostly spelled out in state records, according to california's employment development department or the edd. apple notified its employees of a layoff last week. the company filed a working adjustment and retraining notification, also known as a warned report, with the edd and those records show 614 total apple employees were told they are being let go from eight offices in santa clara county. the question is for those employees and the industry, what happens next? >> the one thing that i think a lot of people who watch the tech industry are trying to figure out is if this is the end of the layoffs, you know, there are hundreds of people who have been laid off from apple that's far smaller than the thousands upon

thousands of people we saw laid off from google and facebook and whatnot. so it may be that this is actually a sign that maybe this is the end of the layoffs, but make no mistake, there are still hundreds of people who are now going to be searching for a job. >> experts suggest those employees were likely working on apple's self-driving car project, which had been dubbed project titan, within the company. apple scrapped those plans earlier this year after quietly working on it since 2014. apple also holds a reputation for usually making an effort to move people from failed projects to other departments. there are some reports suggesting that some of those laid off employees will work for the company's artificial intelligence, or its robotics unit, according to state records. those layoffs go into effect at the end of may. dave. >> okay, james. thank you. time now. 637 well, today, san francisco supervisor aaron peskin will file the paperwork to run for mayor of san francisco, joining a field of

candidates that's already crowded. >> i am the only person in this race who is running as a liberal and as a progressive. >> aaron peskin has been a san francisco supervisor for 17 years now. he's the president of the supervisor board. he says he'll use his experience as a policymaker to help the city deal with homelessness. the fentanyl drug crisis and affordable housing. i believe i'm a supervisor who knows how, and i want to be a mayor who makes san francisco the city that knows how. >> again tomorrow. >> aaron peskin plans to make his official announcement that he's running for mayor at portsmouth square in chinatown. now, the other candidates running for mayor include the incumbent mayor, london breed supervisor asha sapphire, former supervisor mark farrell, and philanthropist daniel laurie. >> people came out in the south bay to raise money for humanitarian aid in gaza. the

fundraiser was organized in part by an e.r. doctor from los gatos. he just returned from a medical mission in the region where he treated patients in the middle of the war zone, some of the money raised will help send food to palestinians in that war zone. >> so i come here to support those people, especially in this month of ramadan, rain or shine, we're going to be fine. >> people are committed to coming out to this amazing event to support and show solidarity for the people of gaza. >> organizers say this will be
