>> yes, an encampment. garcia and also the organizers here say they plan on having a day of what they called program. some talks, some information sessions , some activities that they're going to have here for other students. this is all taking place at white memorial plaza. this is tucked away kind of in the center of the stanford campus. and this is where dozens of student protesters spent the night in tents after a march and rally yesterday. we will not stop. >> we will not rest. this was the last several hundred people marched through the stanford university campus yesterday, with signs and some holding palestinian flags to protest the war in gaza. >> they are calling on the university to divest from companies with ties to the israeli government. the student protesters tell us that they believe the current conflict in the middle east and their activism for the palestinian cause. they see it as being very similar to the student protests decades ago that called for an end to apartheid in south africa. and they also see a lot
9:03 am
of parallels and similarities with other international antiwar causes from previous decades. >> the biggest encouragement is just to learn, just to read, just to understand the history of israel-palestine and understand more of palestinian culture and understand more of all of these sort of oppressed groups that we don't get taught about in schools. >> the group here is part of a wave of student demonstrations against the war in gaza that have taken over dozens of college campuses across the country in recent weeks. across the bay at uc berkeley, there is a similar setup there with pro-palestinian protesters who've set up tents at sproul plaza. now, here at stanford. in a post on social media, some of the protesters shared a copy of this notice the university gave them last night. the notice says that their encampment is a violation of university policy, and that the failure to remove the tents could result in disciplinary action, even so, the students taking part in this demonstration here say they don't plan on going anywhere today. we did see some law
9:04 am
enforcement officers kind of observing this demonstration from a distance. there was about a half a dozen of them that were taking appear to be taking notes and taking pictures of the people gathered here for this demonstration. we don't have any word yet from stanford as to if or when the university will take additional steps to make the people here move. live in palo alto. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> allie. thank you. there have been pro-palestinian protesters on the campus of columbia university in new york city for more than a week now. minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar joined the student protesters, including her daughter, yesterday, the university says it is in talks with the student demonstrators. jewish students at the university say they're upset that no one is talking about the hostages remaining in gaza. >> you can't deny what happened. you can't deny that people suffered. you can't deny that our families was there. you can't deny that our friends and families are still fighting to end this war, to, to, to the fighting against the terror
9:05 am
organization, the fighting to bring the hostages. it's really concerning. >> in los angeles, usc is canceling its main commencement ceremony, saying new safety measures on campus mean it would not be possible to process the 65,000 people who usually attend the event. >> well, new this morning, an investigation by the associated press has found that at least 16 people died in california over a decade following encounters with police, during which they were injected with a sedative. several of the deaths happened in the san francisco bay area, including two in recent years involving people restrained by the richmond police department. other places with cases include los angeles and san diego, as well as cities in orange and san bernardino counties. the ap says it was not able to determine the exact role the injections may have played in the deaths. the idea behind sedation is to calm people who are combative, critics say the practice can be too risky. >> back to that developing story we've been following all morning here in san francisco, as crews
9:06 am
now have the upper hand on what was for a time, a raging fire that gutted a four story residential building. the two alarm fire was burning on clay street at lyon, not far from the presidio branch library, the fire department says. when crews arrived, the building was fully engulfed in flames. we spoke live with the captain from the san francisco fire department about the large response and how the weather played a role in the firefight. >> when firefighters arrived, that wind that you just heard about was pushing smoke for blocks. heavy smoke, visibility was very low and it was very dangerous for our firefighters in the wind and in the midst. >> again, at this point, the fire is for the most part out crews. they're still busy putting out any hot spots. no one was living legally in the building, according to the fire captain we talked with, the fire did not spread to neighboring buildings. and boy, that's good news, especially rosemary. when you think about those high winds. and oftentimes buildings are so close to each other, really, it's fortunate that nothing worse happened. >> yeah, absolutely. you said it gasia with the winds there not
9:07 am
only fanning the flames and causing that spread to move faster, we could see embers, you know, of course jump and create new fires. >> so thankfully that didn't happen. the winds are with us not only right now but expected for the entire day in fact, going to grow stronger into the afternoon. here's a live look at the golden gate. we started out with mostly cloudy skies. we had a little bit of wet pavement. the scattered showers are moving out, but the wind is moving in across the bay area. here you can see still partly sunny conditions closer to the coast and just inside the bay and into the sierra. snow continues here for most of the day with levels down to about 6000ft. so right about lake level we could see a rain snow mix. although we are above freezing at this point over the lake, this storm is going to move to the east and in its wake the wind is developing already breezy, conditions expected and even stronger for the second part of the day. right now, novato reporting a wind gust to 28. napa is reporting gusts to 23 over towards the peninsula. sfo
9:08 am
reporting a wind gust to 33. san jose to 24, half moon bay 21 along the bridges for today. do expect to hold tight to the will probably advisories will be issued by the chp for the wind. big rock reporting 31. mount diablo reporting 34 and the color coding on this futurecast model. pretty much says it all by about noon time. 1:00 widespread red yellow orange across the bay area and some pinks even over our higher elevation and closer to the coast in the to the evening hours. it does pull back, but it takes pretty much all day and we are likely to remain with still breezy conditions along the coast and in san francisco, where san francisco right now 56 degrees for the inner east bay 56 in walnut creek. our afternoon highs a little bit below average around the bay. more so for our inland communities. 67 the afternoon high in the north bay of napa, as well as the inner east bay of concord into the extended forecast. the winds begin to die down tomorrow. tomorrow could be a little breezy, but nothing
9:09 am
like today. and our temperatures increase. low 60s at the coast to low 70s inland on saturday a tad warmer on sunday. the warming trend continues monday into tuesday. back to you. >> thank you. rosemary many american plans to go and plan to go into debt for their summer vacations this year, a new survey by bankrate says only about half of americans are planning a summer vacation this year. and of those who do plan to travel this summer, more than 1 in 3 are willing to go into debt to pay for it. another half of americans plan to skip their summer vacation this year, citing affordability as the main issue. we want some viewer reaction on this. this morning we're asking, will you be willing to go into debt for summer fun? your options are travel, dining out, entertainment, life, concerts or sporting events. just scan the qr code at the top of your screen or go to ktvu.com/vote. >> i get travel, i mean, i will say i couldn't enjoy it if i know i can't pay for it, but if
9:10 am
i had to choose, i think especially because so many of us put off travel during the pandemic, we're now taking those trips of a lifetime. so but it is expensive. >> i look, you know, it's way more expensive than it was airline tickets. it's crazy bonkers. yeah, it's bonkers right now. and i'm just like, oh my god, right. >> you know, but then you want to go, right? you're like, i do. i don't go now. >> especially some of these, you know, these ideas that have popping or some ideas that friends have. so. right. >> oh, yeah. works a motif. yeah, i know exactly right. >> it's, trying to trying to stay within the balance. right. you do want to live your life, but you also don't want to put yourself in a situation where later on you're regretting it. it's no lie, man. >> things are so expensive now. yeah, so much more expensive. >> i think i just need to forget those prices from before. >> like, just completely not even think about. >> yeah, don't expect them to come back. otherwise. you're just gonna be waiting for a long time and keep getting disappointed for sure, right? that's how i am. >> we'll keep peeking in on that poll as you keep responding. >> kptv.com slash vote. there was also a qr code that will pop up again later on in the nine. a

9:14 am
the oakland. the chopper is zooming in on the funeral procession that's getting ready to begin for police officer fallen police officer jordan wingate here. the gathering is taking place near the oakland police department, they're gathering for a procession there now. and in just a few minutes, at about 930, police will escort officer jordan wingate's casket to three crosses church down in castro valley. you might be able to make part of the procession off to the left side, right off the highway there, off of 880, the service, by the way, that will start at 11 a.m. it is open to the public. and you might remember reporting here. over the last few days, we've been telling you about what happened to him back in 2018. he was actually rushing to a report of a suspicious person at the port of oakland, not far from opd headquarters. here, a car actually collided with his patrol car and caused it to crash into a parked big rig, the
9:15 am
incident actually put officer wingate on life support. he's been or had been on life support for almost six years until his passing earlier this month. but as you can see right now, our camera focusing on that procession set to begin in just about 15 minutes from now, taking officer wingate's casket to castro valley, where there will be a service held at three crosses church starting at 11 a.m. we'll keep you posted and have more coming up later in this newscast. >> all right. some high school students in santa rosa say they do not want police officers to return to their school campus. that comes as a school district reviewed a report that concluded having police officers patrol school campuses doesn't make students feel any safer. >> what we do see in the question of the perception of safety at school is that over the last three years, we have seen a decline and that that information is shared not only at the student level, but we do see that same sort of decline at
9:16 am
both the staff level and the family level. >> if we don't hold the mou committee accountable to draft a pilot program that recognizes the current politics of policing within the city of santa rosa and sonoma county, we will continue to disproportionately harm bipoc communities. >> four years ago, the four years ago, the school district in santa clara removed police officers from all high school campuses. but last december, the board took the first step toward bringing them back following several violent incidents on campus. >> california lawmakers are considering a bill that would change how homework is assigned to students. the healthy homework act would require school districts and teachers to consider the mental and physical strain on students. when assigning homework. the bill advanced in the assembly on wednesday. where does it go from here? we'll turn to stanford child psychologist doctor casey krieger to help us sort of understand what's at stake. thanks for being with us. >> hi. thank you for having me. of course, now it's important to say this is not a ban on homework so all the kids can settle down.
9:17 am
>> this is a push to have teachers assign what's being called more meaningful homework. what does that mean to you? >> so homework is only helpful if children find it valuable and if they're engaged. and also if it's of appropriate duration. so meaningful means to think about the quality and the quantity. more isn't always better. >> i mean, just days ago my middle schooler said to me, he's he's doing pretty well in spanish, but he's not doing a small part of his online work. i said, just do it. and he said, if i know what it is, then why do i have to do it? and the best answer i could give was life requires us to jump through hoops and the better you jump through them, the more opportunities you'll have. and i feel bad even saying it now. >> yes, yes. >> i mean, of course, you know, it's a valuable lesson for kids to learn. there are some things that we have to do, but it's more valuable for people to feel, you know, fulfilled in the work that they're doing and feel that it's meaningful and contributing to their, their learning and life skills. >> so let's say there are 30
9:18 am
children in that spanish class, right? ten of them may be up here, ten of them down here. more kind of in the mushy middle. teachers are doing so, so much. how do you think a teacher could teach to each level, all in the same amount of time? >> i think that it's important to make some things optional for children that are really, you know, high achieving and want to push themselves and motivate themselves, so giving a variety of lessons and extra work that's available, but not necessarily grading everything that's, that's offered, i see. >> so the kid with the a may not have to do the duolingo time online every night. but the child who's struggling. we may really check up to see how they're doing. let's talk about the mental health aspect of this all. what do you see in your practice when it comes to children and homework and burnout? >> yes. so we're facing a youth mental health crisis, about 1 in 5 children in the us have a mental, emotional, developmental or behavioral disorder, rates of anxiety and depression are just
9:19 am
increasing over time, rates of mental health disorders also increase with age. anxiety is the most common mental health disorder in adolescents, so marginalized groups are also more vulnerable, including children from low income households, as we all know that not all homes are created equal. so some kids have a distinct advantage over others when completing work, right? not, children. yeah. children consider not primary has the internet connection. >> not everybody has the laptop. not everybody has a parent who can sit with them and help them through the algebra or whatever, does this ramp up as a child gets older? i'm thinking in particular about that crucial junior year of high school. >> definitely, definitely. i mean, the homework load increases and some of that is appropriate. but there's a fine line between what's appropriate and what's too much, so it's a problem if homework is interfering with a child's ability to sleep and to engage in other activities that actually promote mental health status, such as sports and extra curricular activities and socialization, time with family and friends is, and rest and
9:20 am
relaxation time is crucial. also >> so how does a parent know it's time to maybe step in to that child teacher relationship, or even seek professional counseling outside the school? >> yes. so look for avoidance and excuses to evade homework and school. look for anger, irritability, and arguing about completing homework as well as trying easily. persistent sad mood difficulty concentrating. some children exhibit somatic symptoms such as stomach aches or headaches, so it's important to seek professional counseling if difficulties cause distress for your child or your family, there's a need to intervene. if a child's behavior or mood problems interfere with their functioning at school, at home, or with friends. >> and boy, i'll tell you that just that one child can affect the entire family. so doctor casey krieger, i wish we had more time, but we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your help on this difficult topic. thank you. of
9:21 am
course, coming up here on mornings on two and nine, how do you feel about flying? 1 in 4 americans say they're afraid to take to the sky what sfo is doing to help calm people's fears, and what's in the air that's causing some extra anxiety. then the former publisher of the national enquirer is back on the stand in former president trump's criminal trial in new york, the expected direction of the questioning in the so-called hush on trial

9:25 am
fox's madeline rivera has the latest on the case from washington. >> former president donald trump returning to court in manhattan friday as the criminal trial over alleged hush money payments enters day eight. >> i think yesterday went very well in this courthouse case should be over thursday, trump praised david pecker, a sexual witness who has been testifying since monday. david's been very nice and nice guy. >> but thursday, the former publisher of the national enquirer revealed new details about burying negative stories to shield trump's 2016 presidential campaign, including a $150,000 deal with a former playboy model who said she had an affair with trump, pecker testified the enquirer bought the rights to carry mcdougal's story, but never published her allegations as a tactic known as catch and kill. pecker told the jury, quote, we didn't want the story to embarrass mr. trump or embarrass or hurt the campaign. >> today was a breathtaking. in this room, you saw what went on. it was breathtaking and amazing
9:26 am
testimony. this is a trial that should have never happened. this is a case that should have never been filed. and it was really an incredible prosecutors are making the case. >> the catch and kill scheme amounted to election interference. >> the question is, are people who are committed to voting because the real for the rest of us, the question is, are the people who are committed to voting for donald trump again for the third time, are they affected by any of this today? >> trump's legal team will have the opportunity to cross-examine pecker mather rivera, ktvu, fox two news. >> it's april, but it feels like football season once again. coming up on mornings on two. the nine. we're talking live with the host of 49 carats podcast about the new edition. the 40 niners made it in the first round of the nfl draft, and what they could do during the second and third rounds. plus law enforcement from around the bay area is gathering in the east bay to honor the fallen, the life of a fallen officer.

9:29 am
go with some clouds above. still a bit of sunshine. it's cool out there for sure. this is jacket or sweatshirt weather, but the weekend is going to be for the most part, dry. and if you're staying at home, that's great news. if you're flying, who
9:30 am
knows what you'll face. 1 in 4 americans say they are afraid to fly. this year, the fear of flying clinic held at sfo says it's seeing the most demand class. most demand for classes ever, the chairwoman of the clinic tells the sfgate. the clinic that's aimed at addressing aviophobia says the april 2024 class is the busiest she's ever seen. some of that may be due to a busy travel season, but some participants in the class say they've been pointing out that all this news about the airline industry, some recent headlines about, you know, the door flying off and other issues, the video that's all over social media is making their somewhat small fears a lot bigger. so what do you think? do you ever have concerns about flying and has it stopped you from taking any big trips? >> no, no, none at all. i mean, it just happens so rarely. it would just i think statistically, statistically worse off driving to work. yeah. so you know, and i've always reported on that stat and you know, so i don't really worry myself too much about it i like it i think about it a little bit, but you know, the other
9:31 am
alternative sometimes is making an impossible drive. >> or in the case of hawaii, literally impossible drive. right? yeah. so. right, you know, you have to do what you have to do, right? but sometimes i do think about it, especially with all the problems. >> i think that the first time i ever thought about this is going back 20 plus years. a friend of mine at my old station said that her family made sure never to all travel on the same airplane. and i said, oh, rachel, why? and she said, because if the plane goes down, you're all. and i thought, oh, so i had never i mean, it's a grim it's a grim thought. >> but no, i have heard of that. and i have heard of that. but it is a grim thought i don't okay, good, good. it's a practical thought. right, right. you know, but it's just not something you want to think about, man. >> the mood on this show has gone down. >> it's like a plummet. but it made such an impact on me. all those years ago, i thought i'd throw it out. >> all right, well, let's stick with the travel theme here, shall we? bring things up a little? yeah, exactly. here are the results from our poll. so far, we've mentioned earlier this hour. we ask, would you be willing to take on debt for
9:32 am
summer fun? and the answers are travel 82, would dining out 7. and entertainment 11. i'm a little surprised by how many people would be willing to go into debt. maybe they should have put in no no debt. one of these. but you never know. anyway. you can still vote. just scan the qr code on the top right of your screen or head to ktvu.com/vote. >> it's a new thing, by the way. you know, since the pandemic, people are just saying, right, forget it. i'm going to live my life. >> i'll do it. my life. yeah. tomorrow's not promised. >> exactly. i get it. and many people probably travel to detroit. the heavily anticipated first round of the nfl draft officially over as football fans will now start researching who their new additions are and are looking forward to the future round. >> and of course, for players this is the time many of them have their dreams realized. >> for more on this, including a hometown kid who is going to be with a team that used to play here in the bay area. bailey. >> that's right. sal. yeah, the oakland raiders have a new member of their team. good morning to everybody at home. 32 football players had their
9:33 am
dreams realized when their name was called by nfl commissioner roger goodell, including that bay area native brock bowers. bowers, who grew up in napa, is heading to the raiders. bowers attended redwood middle school and then played high school ball at napa high before heading off to college at georgia. and it wasn't, as sal mentioned, wasn't too long ago where when the raiders called oakland home and when bowers was a kid, he actually went to their training camps as a fan. of course, his role significantly different when this new season rolls around. but last night, his alma mater held a draft viewing party in the gym at napa high. there were kids of all ages there. we caught up with his former high school coach who said brock's done things the right way since day one. he also spoke to us about the important, how important this moment is to the community. >> me it's huge man. it means everything. it represents our school, you know, and napa community is we're tight knit people, man. we're all going to be cheering for them. they're going to sell a lot of raider jerseys, i'll tell you that
9:34 am
much. >> and as celebrations were going on in napa for bowers niners fans, we're on the edge of their seat waiting for that anticipated selection. they drafted wide receiver ricky parsell out of florida with the 31st pick. i was definitely shocked to see san francisco pop up on my phone and i picked it up. >> and, you know, obviously i was meeting everybody and hearing what everybody had to say. and, man, i was just super excited and blessed to have this opportunity to do this. >> so here's a fun fact. parcell actually played against a 40 niners quarterback, brock purdy, in high school. and then in college, he played alongside 49ers receiver brandon aiyuk at my alma mater, arizona state. now both deebo samuel and brandon aiyuk are, at least as of now, still niners. so many fans are asking, well, why take a receiver? well, it's likely a way for the niners to start prepping for the future. as aiyuk enters the last year of his rookie deal, the niners will have their work cut out for them when it comes to dealing with that salary cap. now, the niners
9:35 am
did say, though it's unlikely that they'll trade either deebo or by the second and third round of the draft are tonight. the niners have the 63rd overall pick in the second round and the 94th in the third round. back to you guys. all right bailey that draft never seems to go like my mock draft i don't know why the san francisco 40 niners surprised a lot of people with their first round pick of a wide receiver. >> last night. that might have some wondering, as bailey mentioned, what's going to happen to the other team's receivers. for more analysis on this and more on the draft, let's go to stephanie sanchez of the 49ers 49ers podcast. welcome back to the show. i have to say, i was surprised. i'm not upset. i do watch sec football. i know who ricky pearsall is. i've seen him make some great catches over the last few years, especially last year. so i'm kind of excited as a 40 niners fan. >> yeah, i mean i'm excited too. there's reason for optimism for sure. i don't think, you know, the 40 niners taken a wide receiver for this early in the
9:36 am
draft was a surprise. when you look at the fact that, you know, this could be debo's final season with the niners, jauan jennings is on a one year deal. i think for a lot of fans, including myself, when i first saw the pick, i think it was ricky pearsall that early, you know, maybe it was too early, right? you had ladd mcconkey from georgia still available. xavier legette, who went right after the 40 niners pick, but, you know, i kind of wondered, you know, maybe the 40 niners figure he wouldn't be available for their second round pick. and, you know, maybe the start of the second round would have a lot of wide receivers going, including maybe to adam peters to the commanders. you know they might have known that adam peters liked him. so just something i thought about. >> yeah. and you know steph there's really nothing wrong. the way i see it, a lot of 40 niners fans see adding another skilled position, adding another weapon for brock purdy. but what concerns me is that brock purdy and brandon aiyuk have made such a good connection. i wouldn't want the 40 niners to lose that.
9:37 am
but you never know. all three receivers, you know aiyuk, debo and pearsall could be on the team this next year. >> yeah they could. and it seems like brandon aiyuk at least you know is pretty fond of the pick. you know bailey just mentioned that they played together for a year at asu and apparently brandon aiyuk texted john lynch and kyle shanahan said fire pick. can't lie, and you know, there's reasons to like pearsall, right? he's extremely athletic. he, he tested as one of the most athletic wide receivers in this draft, ran a 4.31 excellent body control, hand-eye coordination. and i mean, you see some one handed grabs in his tape as well. so he's he's a bit of an exciting player that way. and i'll say this there are some things that he was asked to do in florida that reminds me a bit of the role that deebo samuel has with the 40 niners today. i mean, he gets the ball behind the line of
9:38 am
scrimmage quite a bit and around screens. so that could maybe tell you what the 40 niners are envisioning for their future. maybe they want a real a true slot receiver. >> and maybe they're thinking that way. before we go, steph, i want to mention if the 40 niners here have any needs, you like them to fill in. coming up in the upcoming picks here. >> well definitely tackle i think is something you know the 40 niners could use. blake fisher roger rosengarten are definitely some guys who could potentially be available for their pick at 63. and i also think a corner is something they're going to want to look at early. there was a corner available. there are two corners available at their pick. at 31. they didn't go that route. so maybe in the second round. >> all right steph sanchez if you haven't seen her podcast or listen to her talk about the 40 niners. always a good time. thank you for joining us on ktvu. >> thanks, al. >> all right howard happening right now. we're taking a live look. we're about to take a live look now at oakland, where
9:39 am
