highfalutin lives. he went to check out a mercedes, and the guy said, before you buy, don't you want to test drive it? and he got in the back seat. he got in the back seat. i think i told you this there after a man vandalized the building in an attack. police are calling a hate crime. >> the fear that he has instilled in our community, especially among women and children and elderly that are attending the mosque. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is the four. >> and welcome to the four. i'm jana katsuyama and i'm alex savage. >> a rally was held today outside that san francisco mosque that was vandalized. and the suspect made his first court appearance this afternoon. >> our crime reporter, henry lee is live at the hall of justice in the city with the latest. henry

>> well, the man's attorney says he sees no evidence of a hate crime. just broken windows and no one physically hurt. but those of the mosque today say this clearly was a case of anti-muslim hate. >> it made me feel reassured that there is there is. people care. >> imam mohammed anzali says he's grateful for the quick work of law enforcement and the public support after an alleged hate crime at a san francisco mosque during the holy month of ramadan, san francisco police say 35 year old robert gray is the man seen here using a skateboard to break windows at the place of worship at polk and sutter. >> i can only say that it speaks volume to see so many people of different ethnicities and such a diverse community come together to basically show solidarity. >> police say gray first came to masjid al-tawhid mosque on april 4th. >> he was armed with what i'm saying is a skateboard. he used to damage and vandalize this mosque. he broke the windows behind us. he then jumped into his car and he fled. >> authorities say gray came back five days later.

>> again he made his way inside. he made his way into the seating area of the mosque, escorted him out, called us. we looked for him. we couldn't find him. >> police say the suspect came back the next day and was arrested. with the help of the community. >> we're going to continue as a police department to be vigilant. we will drive by mosques and places of worship. >> on friday, gray pleaded not guilty to felony vandalism and a hate crime. we were not allowed to show his face, the prosecutor said. gray has a fixation on the mosque and noted he was out on bail at the time of the crime after being accused of residential burglary in san mateo county. his attorney asked for a reasonable bail, arguing that although windows were broken, no one was hurt. the judge agreed with the da that his criminal conduct was escalating and denied bail. >> we don't believe that there's any indication that there's a hate crime at all, gray's attorney, jack lamar junior, said he's seen no evidence his client made hateful statements during his second visit to the mosque, as the da alleges, it doesn't appear that these statements have any sort of racial or religious animus

attached to them whatsoever. i think that that's a perception. >> those who came out to support the mosque disagree. >> the fear that he has instilled in our community, especially among women and children and elderly that are attending the mosque when there is such a blatant attack, such a blatant act of hate on a religious institution, on a community that we stand together . >> now the public defender's office is asking for a medical assessment of the suspect, as he's suffering from any mental health issues. the man's mother was in court today but declined to comment. live in san francisco, henry lee, ktvu, fox two news and henry, real quickly before you go, you mentioned that the prosecutor said that he had a fixation on the mosque. >> did they give any indication what led to that or why? >> the attorney for the defendant could not answer as to why his client repeatedly went to the mosque. suffice to say that there was only one case of vandalism during his first

visit, as, according to the da and sfpd. >> all right. yeah. henry lee live for us in san francisco. henry. thank you. after nearly a decade, the san francisco police department says it has completed a long list of reforms set out by federal and state officials. those efforts began back in 2016, after a number of controversial, deadly shootings by officers and a racist text message scandal. today, police chief bill scott said the department has made strides in a number of key areas, including reducing the number of shootings and use of force, especially in communities of color and biased based stops. police and city leaders say the sfpd of years past is no longer, and the department has transformed itself into a national model. >> this is an accomplishment, but each and every one of us know that there is a lot more work to be done. >> and this work called reform is never truly over. but we have put in place systems, we have

put in place infrastructure we put in place to support, to overcome challenges and to adapt when we need to. and while this is definitely a commemorative moment, this does not mean that we won't continue the great work that we are doing to balance the reforms that we need to implement, as well as making sure that we focus on public safety for san francisco, we can do both. >> we have done both. >> and the police chief said the fact that this took years to accomplish is proof that transformational change does not happen overnight. >> just when you thought the bay area real estate market could not get any crazier, a house in cupertino, which is about the size of a hotel room, sold today for around $2 million. it was on the market for only six days. the house has no heating system, no stove. ktvu fox two reporter mark sayer is live in cupertino this afternoon with a look at

what you can get for your money. mark >> well, jenna, what you see behind me is the entire house. it's 384ft!s, but the seller's agent said there was so much interest. more than 100 potential buyers came through here during an open house last weekend. the house has gone into contract. the deal should be finalized today. so what's the appeal? we'll take a look inside. so we are in the master bedroom slash living room, that opens up into the dining area. slash kitchen. >> listing agent fabiola perez. bonafide doesn't have to spend too much time to show this home. in fact, you've just seen more than half of it. here's the other half. >> this area here can be used as a closet or a space for a dresser, and then it leads into your bathroom at just 384ft!s. >> you've now seen the entire house, which has no appliances and no heating. it takes just a matter of seconds to walk from

one side to the other. so why is this house so popular? >> it is, quite compact in size, but it has a big powerhouse of possibilities, which i think is what drew such huge crowds here over the weekend. the house sits on a 7800 square foot lot, enough to build a nice sized new home. >> so just six days after the home was listed, cherry, she put down an offer that she says is well above the $1.7 million asking price. >> so how could i say it's a very crazy. >> she has been looking for at least three months and says finding homes in cupertino has been even more difficult recently, since the fed has not cut interest rates as some had expected it to do in recent months. >> the property i'm expecting bigger, but actually it's come out anyway. this is the price in this market. >> she is buying on behalf of another person who does intend to build here. builder amir naghavi with paradise homes says the price to build varies depending on upgrades, but you could expect to spend over $1

million in a process with design and permitting. that could take a year and a half. >> it depends on what you want to do with the house. i mean, if you want to build a what we call a home depot grade home, it costs differently than if you want to buy build something that is a little bit higher up. and then very custom homes. >> people can can still build a pretty good sized home here and be in the neighborhood where all your neighbors homes are worth 4 to $5 million. so i think that's the potential people saw when they came through. >> so this house has an interesting history. it was apparently a hunting cabin which was built in the 1940s. some residents here tell us before a tenant eventually moved in here. there were actually trees and plants growing out of the house, and deer were roaming on the property. now, of course, it's going to be the latest house here in silicon valley. gianna and that is what it takes to get into the housing market in silicon valley. quite a story and quite a story for this house over the past six days.

>> absolutely. and you can't, you know, to imagine how a hunting cabin right there in the middle of cupertino. i'm just wondering really quickly, did you talk to many? are there many neighbors around? and did you talk to any of them about what they think about the sale? >> yeah, we did talk to a neighbor directly across the street, and that's the person who told us that when she first moved in here in the 1980s, there there literally was a brush growing out of this house. and the tenant came later. the owner apparently has never lived here and for whatever reason has decided to sell the house now. and of course, it's being snapped up by anxious buyers who are looking for a good school districts and nice places to live like cupertino. all right. >> mark sayer in cupertino today. thanks so much for bringing us that story. well, president biden warned iran today not to launch an attack on israel. the president said that he would not get into security details, but his expectation, he says, is that iran could launch a strike sooner rather than later. fox's greg palkot has more on the increasing tensions. >> israel's military making preparations to defend the country following iranian

threats of a retaliatory attack. the wall street journal, citing sources that say a direct attack on israeli soil could happen as early as friday. it comes days after iran blamed israel for an airstrike that killed top iranian military leaders in syria. >> if we are in close cooperation with neighbors and friends in order to prevent harm to israel and we will know how to respond. >> the fears prompting the u.s, britain and france to issue new travel guidelines for embassy staff in israel, the biden administration reaffirming its commitment to israel on friday, adding the us is taking a look at its own military posture in the region. >> we will support israel. we will defend, help defend israel and iran will not succeed. >> but defense experts say it's possible iran could launch a smaller scale attack, with iran's supreme leader reportedly wanting to avoid a full fledged war with israel and the united states.

>> iran knows that war with them would destroy their regime economically, and also they would likely lose it. >> still, a potential attack on israel is raising fears the war in gaza could expand into a much larger conflict and displace more people in the region. >> we are stocking tens and supplies and working with all these countries in doing their own contingency plan. >> prime minister netanyahu has acknowledged that israel is preparing for possible challenges outside of gaza. in london, greg palkot, fox news. >> new questions about what will happen to the estate of oj simpson, why his assets could be tied up in court for quite some time. >> also a very big week ahead for former president trump. he will spend more time in a courtroom than on the campaign trail coming up this afternoon, how his legal issues could put him in political peril. >> and we have a big weekend ahead. we're talking rain, we're talking thunderstorms. we're talking cold temperatures. we've

got it all. with your bay area forecast my dry eye's made me a burning, stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye. tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough, and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me. my own real tears are my relief. ask your eye doctor about tyrvaya.

big changes in store as we head toward the weekend, giving you this beautiful shot here. looking out over san francisco off toward alcatraz. and we know we have been enjoying some beautiful spring weather here in the bay area, but you probably noticed as you went outside today that we have really cooled things off and rain is headed our way here in just a matter of hours. roberto gonzalez tracking this system that is coming our way for the weekend. >> drop the mic because you just nailed it. you got it. all right there. you know, the picture kind of tells the story, too. let's go back to that live weather camera looking out towards alcatraz. because what you're seeing is increasing cloud cover. here in the bay area. we have several decks of cloudiness, several layers anywhere from about 1200ft

through about 2400ft. and then the highest cloud layer is at 20,000ft. and that's why we're calling it mostly cloudy waters. look calm at this. our temperature on shore 55 half moon bay. it is now 58 degrees in oakland and in emeryville, backing through piedmont into el cerrito. temperatures did top off in the low 60s east of the bay and concord, walnut creek, and in livermore, even fremont with the pair of sixes is now 64 degrees in san jose. but look at these numbers. we're up to 22 degrees cooler at this hour compared to yesterday at 4:00 in the afternoon. so you do feel the difference. plus, when you factor in these winds, it just feels raw outside. you do need a dress in layers as you're heading on out for dinner tonight. a 25 mile per hour wind along the peninsula with a gust in throughout that san bruno gap at 36, and these winds will remain consistent throughout the evening hours. because of that right there, right now, this is

a cold front. it's been hanging off the northwestern quadrant of the state of california all afternoon, just driving layer after layer, band after band of showers towards mount shasta and in the trinity mountains. some snow up about 9000ft. let's go ahead and track your future cast. you can see where the clouds currently reside. here comes the rain and the overnight hours. official sunrise tomorrow morning at 635. not going to see it. plenty of rain showers where you see the yellow. that's some heavier precipitation. and then by lunchtime we're going to say what? rain? well, we still have plenty of rain coming in for your evening hours on saturday. we'll talk more about how much rain to expect and how your sunday will fare. and jenna and alex, that's still coming up a little bit later in this newscast. sounds good. >> roberta, we will see you in a bit. there are new questions about what will happen with the estate of o.j. simpson following his death from cancer this week. he died without having paid most of the $33.5 million wrongful

death judgment to the families of his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman. his estate is likely to go into the court probate process. the brown and goldman families could be at the front of the line to get paid from whatever simpson has left behind , according to a court filing. o.j. claimed to have an estimated net worth of more than $10 million prior to his death, and simpson's complicated legacy will be part of the discussion coming up this weekend on our political show. the issue is host alex michaelson joins us here on a friday afternoon to preview the show. and, alex, i know you had a chance to speak with prominent attorney gloria allred, who represented brown's family during the simpson criminal trial. and she is not mincing words. she >> she never mince his words. alex. good to see you. not only did gloria allred represent the brown family during the civil case or the criminal case in which oj simpson prevailed, she

also represented them during the civil case in which they prevailed, which is the judgment you were just talking about there. and she takes us back in time to being in the courtroom and also talks about oj's legacy. i don't mourn his loss. >> i do mourn the loss of nicole brown simpson and the impact it's had on her three sisters and nicole and tanya and dominique, and i feel sad for his children, sydney and justin, who are now adults and who now have neither a father nor a mother alive, and i feel really sad for, you know, the loss of ron goldman, but that's pretty much it, i think, you know, mr. simpson just decided he was above the law and could get away with anything, became increasingly emboldened and, and he's paid the consequences. maybe not as much paying of the

consequences as many people think he should pay. but he did. >> gloria also talks about, what happened in arizona this week where they essentially, thanks to a court order, will be soon headed back to an 1864 law that banned all abortions except for the life of the mother at stake. gloria allred, who is very public about the fact that she had an abortion in california before roe v wade while it was illegal here and almost died because of it, speaking out about that new case, i know what that's like to have to suffer under a law like that, which was pretty common. >> and, you know, there are so many women who don't have a voice and who don't have recourse to travel to california, which many now will be planning to do, because we are a sanctuary state, we will provide abortions to people who come from, arizona. but the

suffering that is just so terrible to imagine what it's going to be like. the good news is women in arizona, a lot of them are mad as ###, and they're not going to take it anymore. alex >> of course, that could be one of the deciding issues as we move forward in terms of the election, the economy also a big issue. we talked to the deputy treasury secretary about the outlook here as well, so all that coming up this week on the issue is alex all right, a full show. >> looking forward to hearing more from gloria. always good to see you alex. we appreciate it. and a reminder here. you can catch the full episode of. the issue is it airs this sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. right here on ktvu. >> former president trump and his attorneys are preparing to go to trial monday. mr. trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. his first criminal trial ahead of this year's election. as fox's connor hanson tells us, despite his attempts to delay the trial,

jury selection is set to start on monday morning. >> donald trump is expected in court monday for the start of his criminal hush money trial in new york city. >> it's the first time a former president has been criminally charged, and it's the first of trump's four indictments to go to trial. 12 jurors and six alternates will be selected. >> they don't have to find people who've never heard of the case. they have to find people who, despite having heard of the case, say they can be fair and impartial. >> lawyers will not be allowed to ask jurors about their voting history, political contributions or party registration. trump and his lawyers have tried repeatedly to delay the trial but were unsuccessful. the saga stems from an alleged payment to adult film star stormy daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign to cover up an affair. trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records. he's accused of using his business to cover up reimbursements to his former

lawyer and fixer, michael cohen. trump has denied having a relationship with daniels in the meantime, he'll be taken off the campaign trail. every single trial that you read about and that you report about and generally fairly every one of these trials is run by the doj and the white house. >> every single one. the trial is expected to last about six weeks in new york. >> connor hanson ktvu fox two news. >> up next here on the for this afternoon we're focusing on black maternal health week. a bay area doctor will join us after the break to talk about improving access to resources when it comes to prenatal and

last october by the california department of public health. black women are 4.6 times as likely to die of pregnancy related causes than california women. as a whole. the report also includes a chart through 2019 that showed pregnancy deaths for black women, declining slightly. but still, as you can see well above, asian, hispanic and white women in the state. we're so pleased. joining us today is doctor carla wicks from kaiser permanente east bay. thank you for taking time to talk about this very important topic. >> thank you for having me. >> let's start first in the health care setting, because oftentimes when people are, you know, thinking about mortality

and, you know, health and pregnancy, it's about access and how much people have access. so what are you finding in terms of the access for women who are pregnant, who are black, trying to get prenatal care? >> absolutely. there is varying degrees of access to health care and we know that this is a major contributing factor to some of the alarming disparities that we see for black women. and as a result of that varying degree of access, we are committed to closing these gaps and disparities and really addressing some of the social factors that play a major role in access to care. >> what are some of those social factors? >> oftentimes we notice a difficulty in achieving transportation to appointment s. oftentimes there are economic challenges. his with coming to appointments or being able to afford insurance, housing and food are also major social

determinants of health that we're committed to addressing, because we know that they are a major factor for in allowing everyone a fair opportunity to achieve optimal health. >> one thing that interested me in that california study is they were also asking people, black women, how they felt going into the health care setting and some of them said that they felt discrimination and other things. i know you have done some workshops on health care bias. what do you look for? what do you talk about in those workshops? >> absolutely. as an obgyn who cares for black birthing people and families, i hear firsthand the lack of trust, the difficulty with feeling comfortable discussing medical conditions with caretakers and providers, and so we're committed to education and developing isn't around racism, around implicit bias. i've

sponsored a variety of workshops in kaiser permanente for our physicians, our clinicians, our staff, and not just those who are on labor and delivery. it's system wide because i strongly believe that education and understanding how we show up for our patients helps them to feel listened to, cared for, and they're more willing to talk to us and trust us with their care. >> and oftentimes we think of care going up to the point where the baby is born. but with the, you know, the government kind of expanding medicaid, postpartum care from 60 days to a year, how important is that the point after the baby is delivered to black maternal health? >> absolutely. we call that the fourth trimester and beyond. we know that various underlying conditions that patients and particular black patients have

prior to the pregnancy can often manifest themselves during that postpartum period up until the first year, and that may be high blood pressure, diabetes, and even postpartum depression. so i definitely think that legislation helps to support our black birthing people to have healthier lives from the beginning. >> and then also that post care. >> absolutely. >> doctor karla, thank you for taking time today to talk with us and for more. we do have information on our website with more resources. hopefully to be able to help people have healthier pregnancies. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> yeah, i appreciate doctor ricks coming in to highlight this important issues up next for us here on the for this afternoon. california's fishing industry takes another hit. first it was limited crab season. now the salmon season ends before it even began. this year. up next on the four we'll

talk with the executive director of the golden state salmon association about what happens now to the workers and businesses who rely on

salmon season for the second year in a row, the pacific fishery management council decided to make the request this week due to the continued low numbers of chinook salmon. the governor says the emergency request will help bring financial support to the affected fishing communities. those in the local salmon

fishing industry blame the state for what they call irresponsible water policies, and we're fighting for these fish. >> we're making hard sacrifices for the next generation of fish and we're making the hard decisions about the harvest. now we need the california water managers to make some sacrifices on their end. they need to make some hard decisions about saving these fish as well. >> the governor's office says it has allocated $800 million over the last three years to restore habitats, increase water flows and remove dams that were preventing fish from returning to their native rivers. >> and joining us now is scott ardis, executive director of the golden state salmon association. thank you for joining us. i hope i pronounce your last name correctly. you're good. okay. this is the second year of this closure, and we wanted to start out with just knowing how this has impacted your members and how they've tried to adapt to this and some of the other changes we're seeing in the fishing industry. >> yeah, right now there's a lot

of people that are still out of work who have not been able to get a job to make the a paycheck, to pay their mortgage, to pay their boat or their business fees. their families are struggling. incredibly difficult times right now, and this is the second year that will come as more bad news piles on for the salmon industry, and they still haven't received disaster relief, which is in process, and we applaud that. but they still haven't received that disaster relief from last year. so i imagine going 12 months or more, 18 months without a paycheck, it's incredibly difficult for many people who are now having to sell their businesses or their boats. >> yeah. and obviously we mentioned at the top that the governor's office once again this year is asking for that federal assistance. but last year, when the season was closed, more than $20 million in federal support did come in. but but you're saying it didn't reach the struggling businesses on the ground? why was that?

>> that's correct. it still has the approval process. and just within the last week or so, the department of fish and game has requested public comment on how that distribution will work. so the money has been allocated and has been promised there, but it's still actually hasn't moved or say, gotten the mail or the bank accounts of those who need it most. so they're still struggling, still waiting for that, that monetary payout to help them with a disaster that was no fault of their own. >> and scott, the governor's office said the state is implementing what it calls the california salmon strategy to create a more robust population. that includes, as we mentioned, removal of the klamath dam, restoring salmon habitat and modernizing, modernizing the hatcheries. and i'm wondering if you agree with those efforts to try and stabilize the population or do you feel there should be other steps to try and preserve the salmon stock? >> that's it. that's a good point. and we myself and our organization applaud many of the

measures that are in the governor's salmon plan, there are things that we have been fighting for years. so we want to see that we're happy to see that. and we're really supportive of a lot of those measures that include things like increased production with the hatcheries, improvement with the hatcheries, as well as dam removal. and in some of these other measures. but the main problem, and the thing that we're not addressing is that although we see this really great work, this really great habitat work, that that i've been part of in the past and floodplain restoration, but at the end of the day, if you create all this habitat, but don't put the water in it, then that is that really habitat and is that going to support the fish? because we all know fish need water, salmon need water. those salmon families that rely on this fishery need the water there. and so if we don't have the water in there, then is it really great habitat because dead fish won't use that habitat. and that's what we're fighting for, is that more flows

in our rivers, more flows in our salmon rivers that are not also at really high temperatures, that kill salmon eggs. >> we obviously are seeing this diminished salmon population at this moment here well below historical averages here. and i'm curious if you see, you know, when you look toward the future here, do we see any better outlook beyond just this season? do you see things improving. >> so i think it, you know, with some of the stuff in the salmon plan, that's going to be a good start. and that's always good stuff to see happening. but if we don't actually correct the problem, it's kind of like a hazardous material spill situation where if there's an oil spill, you don't start cleaning up the oil spill before you actually plug the leak. and so we're not necessarily plugging the leak, which is the water that we need in those rivers. and the temperature protections for those fish. and so we will get to some good

places and restoration places for salmon populations. if we want to really take some of that action and let's get some more flows to those fish at the right times of the year. we're not talking about that, you know, large amounts of water that are going to take away from, you know, other needs. we're talking just a small piece of the pie, a small certainly water. >> yes, certainly water. >> we have seen being a big issue. we're out of time, but we hope that you'll come back and talk to us again. scott ardis executive director of the golden state salmon association. >> yeah, thank you very much. >> absolutely. thank you. >> well, representing california at the age of 15, we will speak with miss black california usa talented teen about her commitment to social justice and the passions she says set her apart as a quote unquote renaissance teen. okay take a look outside. >> look at those dark clouds. and do you want a major cooling b showers, thunderstorms and

local snow? or c all of the above. we've got the answer with

in the background and a whole lot of gray off in the distance

there, as we really see a major shift in the temperatures today, a big drop. it just feels so much cooler when you head outside today compared to what we've seen here over the past few days. and roberta, we have another storm, a spring storm headed our way. >> i think that's the only time you invite me into the studio to bring in the rain with you. sure. >> in the rain, right? >> i guess so, right. okay, so we do have yet another cold front is barreling into the state of california. and this is what you can anticipate already today, we started to feel the major cooldown. now showers and thunderstorms will develop. and yep, we're talking about snow dropping down to at least 4000ft, which means we could see a nice slight coating atop mount hamilton, perhaps even diablo. this is it right now. our live weather camera looking out towards alcatraz. several decks of cloudiness out there. we do have mostly cloudy skies for the most part, temperature wise, and to the 50s and few low 60s. east bay has recovered nicely from temperatures just hanging out. most of the day into the 50s.

it's now 63, in livermore, but keep in mind, yesterday's high was 83 degrees at this hour, 64 degrees in san jose. oh, look at fremont and union city popping up to 67 degrees. yes, these temperatures are up to 22 degrees colder than it was 24 hours ago. boy, you don't see that very, very often. 21 degrees cooler in santa rosa, 20 in novato. and then you factor in the winds. that wind is whipping up to 13 in concord with the gusts up to 18. look at oakland international airport with that wind gusts up to 31mph. that will make it tricky for landing there. 18 in novato. how about sfo? also 38 mile per hour wind gusts? yes, it's windy for the evening commute. a double white knuckler going over those bridges. now, we do have the cold front that is responsible for the very windy conditions. putting a tight squeeze on the high pressure

that's departing. we call it a pressure gradient. therefore the winds now behind it here you can see that we still have a lot of colder air mass. you know that by that cotton ball effect and the precipitation has just been lining up against the humboldt and also the mendocino county areas. and then we have snow at trinity mountain and also klamath mountains. and that snow level is down to about 9000ft. there we have it area, low pressure. it's bringing us the cold and windy conditions. the rain and the thunderstorms tonight. overnight the rain develops. there you have it. by 7:00 in the morning, focusing in on the east bay. and then it's hit and miss. scattered rain showers throughout your saturday and your saturday evening. and then as we forge ahead to your sunday, starting off cloudy with intermittent rain showers and some of these thunderstorms could contain hail. highs only in the 50s. >> hail. oh my goodness, i can't believe that. be ready. right. well we want to take a live look

now at bay area traffic as people are trying to make their way out for their friday and the starting the weekend. this is the macarthur maze looking okay. >> a lot of folks ready to get the weekend started right there. absolutely amaze. coming up later tonight, a hunger strike over a bike lane tonight on the news at 5:00. that's what one business owner is doing over the controversial valencia bike lane in san francisco. hear what he hopes his sacrifice will lead to. >> plus, a short video on social media putting the spotlight on a growing problem in san jose. we'll have the questions over downtown safety coming up in st a f minutes business. it's not a nine-to-five proposition. it's all day and into the night. it's all the things that keep this world turning. the go-tos that keep us going. the places we cheer.

sure that they're well challenged and making sure that they're supported in the school district. and what i did is so in a, a community group was setting up a meeting to make signs for the deaf community. so i helped make signs for their march, and that's how i advocated for them. >> yeah. and we also mentioned at the top that that you have tried to raise awareness about the issue of police brutality. what what are some of the ways that you've tried to put that issue front and center and make a difference? >> well, when i first went to my 1st march, i was around the age of nine, and it was a also a community event, and we were all just marching. and it was such a beautiful event because everyone is just it's expressing their issues with police brutality and racism in the school districts or things they experienced. so it was a very beautiful thing for me to experience. and at such a young age. so i really enjoyed doing that.

>> and we mentioned that you're an honor student. how are you juggling keeping the academics along with the creative pursuits and your new roles? >> well, i, i asked my friends a lot about what's going on in class if i ever missed something on accident, but when it comes to juggling, i, i always try to look ahead. and even though it's not always easy, i still forgive myself when i mess up and just continue to push forward. because i know that even at people at a young age are capable of doing anything, even if it's difficult or there's some time scheduling issues that should just to go out and do what you want to do. >> yeah, i like that approach. >> giving yourself a break sometimes that's so wise. that is really important. we all need to do that some at some point or another. let me ask you about the future here. you're in 10th grade, as we pointed out. i know you're already taking college courses when you graduate. it sounds like you might want to

study biology. maybe someday you want to work for nasa. why is that a field that interests you when it comes to biology, specifically marine biology and nasa? >> i like to explore the unknown, and the ocean is very unexplored. and there's a whole bunch of things we don't know about the ocean. and the same thing with space. there's it's just a phenomenon almost. and something i would like to unpack, but i'm interested in pretty much all topics. i like to learn pretty much everything. >> so wonderful. >> well, congratulations again, zoe abdul-malik from southern california. we look forward to hearing more about your future as miss black california, u.s.a. talented teen. thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> all right. wonderful i love that. yeah. well, in about ten minutes, first friday's returns to oakland following a three month hiatus. friday nights will be on telegraph avenue in uptown oakland. tonight first fridays was scheduled to return last
