>> the group wants senator butler to urge federal authorities to withdraw the reinstatement order. they say the woman should be allowed to plead her case to stay here in the united states. in court. >> a dozen officers have now joined the ranks of the oakland police department. they graduated from the police academy friday, receiving honors and awards after finishing six months of training. these new officers are a diverse group that speaks several languages and with the incoming graduates, the department now has a total of 716 sworn officers. >> that is a reality. i could go out there in my very first day on patrol and my life would be taken, but that's the choice i'm making, and it's actually a choice that makes me want to do it more, because i'm willing to put my life on the line to help anyone i can. and if that means that they can go back home to their families. >> the city's incoming chief, floyd mitchell, was at the ceremony, by the way. he will officially be taking over the ranks today. >> the un general assembly has voted by a wide margin to keep

overall project to completely replace the 1950s era dam, which the federal government says is at risk of collapse in an earthquake. ktvu mark sayer takes a look at the project that it is hard to forget. >> these scenes from 2017, when firefighters and boats were rescuing residents who lived along coyote creek in san jose's rock creek community. the heavy rains that year overwhelmed anderson reservoir above morgan hill, sending water uncontrolled over the dam spillway. in 2020, the federal government ordered the entire reservoir drained due to seismic safety concerns. all of which brings us to this massive tunnel now being built under the reservoir. >> so this new tunnel will help us keep the reservoir empty as we approach the larger anderson dam seismic retrofit project, which will include a rebuilding of the dam embankment itself. >> when complete, this tunnel will be 750ft long, and it will have the capacity to drain anderson lake reservoir, which is just above us 15 times faster than what is possible with the current dam.

>> in the end, when we're completed with the project, we'll be used as an emergency outlet only. so it's a it's a much larger amount of water that we'll be able to release that we would only have to do in an emergency, such as an earthquake or another, you know, flood event or something like that. a large storm, this new tunnel, which could fit two lanes of vehicle traffic, will serve two purposes. >> first, it will allow the complete drainage of anderson reservoir, which currently still holds about 3% of its total capacity. that will allow the current dam. originally built in the 1950s, to be torn down once the new dam is built, the tunnel will provide far more capacity to quickly remove water from the reservoir, and if this project had been in place in 2017, we would not have seen the flooding we did there. the cost of the overall project, including the new dam, is about $2.3 billion. >> anderson dam will create thousands and thousands of jobs. these jobs are also pathways for apprenticeship programs for women, for veterans and for youth. >> anderson reservoir is by far the largest in santa clara

county. the entire project is scheduled for completion in 2032. reporting in morgan hill. i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news, sf. >> bay ferry has big plans to expand over the next few decades. the board of directors has signed off on a plan that will add terminals in berkeley, redwood city and san francisco's mission bay and treasure island, with long term goal of six additional ferry terminals, including in foster city, hercules and antioch. routes between existing ferry terminals will also multiply, and the agency hopes to add more electric ferries to its existing fleet. >> it is aapi heritage month, we're hearing from groups spearheading efforts to provide better access to mental health support for asian american communities and target reiving backlash last june for its display of pride merchandise. >> the policy the retailer plans on using this year and the reaction it's getting here in

author view another viewer rather this was taken near the del valle regional park that's in livermore. and that is gorgeous as well. scientists say the rare and severe solar storm is expected to hit its peak later today, and there's a very good chance skywatchers right here in the bay area could get their best look at the so-called northern lights in more than 20 years. tonight, however, scientists are also warning the same solar storm could disrupt power and communication systems across the country. >> they can take out satellites, they can disrupt communications, and in extreme events, can even disrupt power grids on earth's surface. >> scientists say. the solar storm could also affect migratory birds and bees, who do rely on the earth's magnetic field to navigate. meantime, astronomers say, those hoping to view the northern lights right here in the bay area should head to a remote area after the sun

goes down tonight. >> that's really important for people to realize that this is not a laser light show, but something quite subtle, just curtains of reddish light that might be visible in a very dark sky. so to see it, well, you'd have to get away from city lights and you'd have to have a good view of the of the horizon toward the north. >> the professor also says a smartphone camera may be able to capture tonight's light show far better than the naked eye. the best time to see the aurora borealis here in the bay from 1 to 4:00 in the morning. so stay up late. coming up, some people in the bay area are struggling to get food on their table. coming up after the break. we're live with the food bank at a contra costa and solano county with information on how you can help boost the food supply right here in the bay area, and a beautiful one across the bay area this morning. >> already warm for some of our inland east bay. a look at the

imagine with the way the economy is right now, that it's not getting better, you're getting more people. is that right? exactly. i mean, what you were just saying around layoffs and, you know, people are still recovering from the pandemic and people no longer have pandemic era benefits. and they're still facing high food costs, high fuel costs, high cost of living. so we're seeing a lot of need in the community, and we're trying our best to meet that need. >> well, let's talk about how do you keep up with demand? >> we work really hard to get these programs up and running. we work with over 260 of our partners to serve food to the community. we focus on providing healthy food. so over 65% of the food that we provide, our fresh protein produce and dairy, we work with our partners in the community to get food out as quickly as we can. and when there is a need, we're here to help meet that need. and, you know, we're very fortunate in the bay area to have a very generous community as well to help us. >> and quite a volunteer group as well. right. how many

volunteers do you have? >> yes, we have over 8000 helping us. yeah. per year. wow. that's a lot. and i think combined they they help serve over 100,000 hours. so they're really incredible. and we couldn't do our work without them. >> no way. 8000 people that that is extraordinary. and if people want to help i would imagine your doors are open. right. >> absolutely. if people want to sign up to volunteer, if they want to give their time, food banks, xorg is a place to do it, we have volunteer shifts in our warehouses and we have volunteer shifts out in the community. >> and what is a typical if you do a couple of hours, is it a day and what what types of things would they be doing? >> thanks for asking that, frank. so if you go in the warehouse, you go in for a couple hours. you can bring your family if you'd like, and you come and help sort and, bag produce, box produce. if you're out there working, volunteering with one of our agencies or at one of our sites, you can help provide and give food directly to the community. so there are plenty of plenty of opportunities out there for people who want to help.

>> and i looked it up. you can also have your own food drive and come in with with with items as well. if you'd like, right? >> yes. if you want to donate nonperishable food, you can go to our website food banks. org and check out the times and hours you can drop off food. >> all right, well you guys are going to be hanging out at black hawk here shortly. you got the nourished galley galley. tell us about that. >> thank you. yes, we have our it's our biggest fundraiser of the year. it's our annual nourish gala, and it's next saturday, may 18th at 6 p.m. at black hawk. we're very fortunate to have betty, you one of your reporters, supporting the event. she's been a huge supporter over the past few years, and you get to go and go enjoy live auction prices, listen to really good music, enjoy, good food, and, of course, you know, be surrounded by the car collection at black hawk. >> i was going to say i've emceed a few events there. the car collection is out of this world. oh, it's so cool. oh, my god, it's so cool. you got to check it out. well, what a

out there expected for today. getting into the evening hours. it will remain along the coastline. it will work back across the bay late tonight into early tomorrow morning. so if you have an idea of thinking about maybe trying to get out and see the northern lights during the overnight hours, our north bay communities, as well as our east bay shore and down through the south bay, could have a little bit of fog that rolls in during the evening hours and overnight. here's a look at tomorrow morning. patchy drizzle. patchy fog this morning. dense fog reported along the coastline. we could see a near repeat for tomorrow and then into the afternoon. partly cloudy skies for the coast, mostly clear inland for all those plans you have for mom. temperatures across the bay area this morning 52 at half moon bay, low 60s in san francisco, already low 70s for brentwood. here's a comparison from yesterday into today. our coastline, as well as our bay actually cooled down yesterday and will take an additional drop today. but our inland cities have remained quite warm. napa yesterday went to 89. today you're looking at 88, so you're

really not even going to feel much of a difference. we have 83 expected in redwood city, 89 for livermore. if you're going to the giants game later today, upper 60s by game time. but cooling down with the afternoon sea breeze to expect their temperatures for sunday going to be just a little bit cooler. very comfortable for most of us for mother's day and even a tad cooler on monday before temperatures rebound so subtly as we roll into tuesday. wednesday back into the upper 80s for our inland cities. back to you, rosemary. >> thank you. may is asian american and pacific islander heritage month. a look inside a one of a kind gift shop whose owners are giving back to their community and their college degrees. >> really worth it to tales of a new study that researched just how long it takes for college degrees to be paid up. all that debtoming

campuses, such as usc. but students we spoke to here at berkeley, they say they're not worried about that. they say protesters on campus have been pretty peaceful, and they're actually trying to accommodate protesters and listen to them. >> it's people's amendment right to protest, you know, and to and to, if they feel like they need to shut down because that is paid the respect. i completely understand that you know, and it's nice that berkeley is able to express their, demonstrations and their protests. >> in a statement, uc berkeley spokesperson dan mogulof said berkeley graduation ceremonies have been venues for all sorts of protests for many years. this year, like every year in the past, our efforts will focus on ensuring the ceremony can be successfully held and on supporting the ability of graduating students, their friends and families to safely enjoy and take part in an incredibly meaningful day. now there are still protestors on

campus. there's an encampment of pro-palestinian protesters at sproul plaza demanding the uc system divest from companies that are profiting from the war, but students say they have remained peaceful. and then yesterday morning, there was the law school graduation. there was a digital billboard outside of it listing names of uc berkeley law students that the pro-israel group accuracy in media is accusing of anti-semitism. some felt that putting those names up was inappropriate at a celebration. there were also reportedly chants during that law school's graduation, but of course, because this is a big event, there is lots of police around berkeley. there are some roads blocked off as well. and then as graduates were coming in, they had to unzip their gown. they wanted to make sure that there weren't any signs that were going to be held up. so there are precautions being taken out here. but really today, the graduates are mainly excited. they say they're they're not worried about a protest or anything like that. they're mainly just happy that

they actually get to have a graduation ceremony. live in berkeley. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news thank you. >> amanda. the united nations general assembly has voted by a wide margin to give palestine new rights and privileges, and it's calling on the un security council to consider palestine's request to become a formal member of the un. the un general assembly president spoke shortly after yesterday's vote. dennis francis says all options need to be considered in an effort to end the fighting in gaza. if anything, the horrendous events of the last seven months have only hastened the urgency of achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting peaceful solution to the situation in the middle east. just last month, the united states vetoed a widely backed security council resolution that would have paved the way for full un membership for palestine, and the us deputy
