a variety of proposed solutions have emerged. we take a deep dive this afternoon into some of these strategies, including a bold pledge today from a san francisco mayoral candidate. >> also, lawmakers on capitol hill approving new legislation aimed at improving aviation safety here in the u.s. we are live this afternoon with the bay area congressman helping to lead this effort, plus a first for the fresh batch of falcons in the east bay now banded together amid a new milestone in from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is the four data and debate first at four this afternoon. >> homelessness here in the bay area. the new data showing the challenges for some cities and improvement in others. plus a live discussion with the san francisco mayoral candidate who believes the solution could only take a matter of months. for years, it has been a challenge to effectively deal with homelessness here in our state. welcome everyone to the four. i'm heather holmes and i'm alex

savage. >> the number of vulnerable people living on the streets is an issue nationwide, but an especially serious challenge here in california. the latest data from the federal department of housing and urban development shows 30% of the overall homeless population in the united states is here in our state. now, for context, california accounts for 11.7% of the country's total population. >> and here in the bay area, renewed concerns of environmental and health risks in the south bay, where homeless encampments have grown along waterways in both san jose and santa clara and the largest water provider in the south bay, is now proposing an ordinance to ban unsheltered people from camping along those waterways. >> ktvu jesse gary, joining us now live from san jose city hall, where the proposal is stirring some passionate responses and also some fears for those on both sides of this issue. jesse >> alex, good afternoon to you. if passed into law, ordinance 24

would establish water resource protection zones. now, unhoused residents found within those zones would be subject to fines and even jail time. >> and the idea there is to present, prevent and hopefully reverse the environmental degradation that has been going on as a result of encampments, activities associated with encampments. >> water valley officials say unhoused encampments, such as this one near willow and lyon streets in south central san jose, can lead to environmental damage due to trash and debris that makes its way into the nearby guadalupe river. they clear an estimated 1300 tons of garbage from waterways each year. the district's proposed ordinance would establish protection zones along the 295 miles of waterways under its control. it would ban encampments and dumping of trash and establish penalties, $500 in fines and up to 30 days jail

time for violators who return and reestablish encampments. >> that, as our partners at valley water, push policies and approaches that clear the waterways and protect our watershed, there is a real risk of their efforts sending hundreds of homeless individuals out into the neighborhoods without a plan. >> i understand what the city is coming from. you know, being that we're near the creek and how hazardous it is, you know, the water being contaminated sometimes, you know, and how trashy it gets here. you know, they don't want it to get like that. it's bad for the environment, is bad for us. >> ruben salas. ruben salas is one of the hundreds of unhoused people trying to fight their way out of this encampment. they, too, believe more interim and permanent housing is the key to getting an estimated 4000 people in san jose off the streets.

advocates say the plans that they have and that are being put forward come along every few decades, and a lot of times they don't necessarily pan out. we'll talk more about that coming up at 530. we're live outside san jose city hall. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. we'll head back up to you. all right. >> we look forward to that part of the story at five. jesse. thank you. >> in san francisco, we recently learned the number of families waiting for sheer has now climbed to more than 360. >> and todaymayol candidate daniel lurie unveiled a plan to get every unhoused person in san fransco off the streets within six months. it's a public private partnership that luri says will create 1500 additional shelter beds. >> and daniel lurie joins us now live in studio to discuss this plan. daniel, nice to see you. it is ambitious because you are also committing to building 2500 additional units of transitional housing in your first two years as mayor. that is a tall order.

daniel how how do you get that done? well, heather. >> alex. thank you for having me. the next mayor of san francisco needs to run, not walk. when it comes to ending this crisis of unhoused in our city. it's like we've had a natural disaster and we're not treating it like the crisis that it is. we're going to build 1500 fema style emergency shelter units within the first six months. we have to get people off the streets, out of tents and tent encampments and into safe beds. we need to do it urgently, because once someone falls into homelessness, we all know this mental health, drug addiction quickly follows. so we need to rapidly get people into housing. we've learned we're not going to be able to build enough housing, permanent supportive housing in time to address this issue. it's time to start acting with urgency. >> all right. obviously, you've put a timeline on this, and a lot of people are going to are

going to focus on that that six months. you're saying that if you win office and you become the mayor, that six months after you take office, someone will be able to walk down the streets of san francisco and they will not see anyone who is unhoused living on the streets. >> there will be options for every single person that is on in a tent. they will have an option and it's not just about the emergency shelters. it's also about this release valve around homeward bound. we need to get people options to go home, to family, to friends. we need to stand up more mental health and drug counseling treatment beds simply put, we can no longer afford to allow people to stay on the streets. one thing i will note this is going to be a cost saver for our city right now to have somebody unhoused on our streets in terms of care, health care, cleaning up. it's $70,000 a person on the streets to get them inside into shelter, safe, dignified shelter . it's 40,000. it makes sense on

all levels. >> okay, so, daniel, let's say that you are able to accomplish this in the sense of bringing in these temporary shelters, building this additional transitional housing units, those additional units, it's offered to people on the streets. what if they refuse? what do you do then, listen, we are committing to building enough dignified shelter beds. and then people will not be able to. they should not be able to resort to sleeping on the street, nor will they be allowed to. we're not talking about criminalizing homelessness. no matter what happens with this, grants pass case at the supreme court, we still need to find shelter for people, people are going to be offered many different options, but the one option, they will not be allowed to do is to sleep on our streets. if there's enough units to put them into. >> okay, so what happens though? like i said, if they refuse, then what? >> they won't be allowed to refuse. then they have to move. they have to go outside of san francisco. we have to send a

message in san francisco. now we have to send a message to the country, to the world that you do not come to san francisco first to deal drugs with 810 fentanyl deaths on our streets last year. you don't come to san francisco to do drugs, and you do not come to san francisco to sleep on our streets. we can do this compassionately empathetic empathy. ethically, i'm confident that we can do this because i've done it. we built 78 units of shelter in at 33 gulf street, where we had the announcement today, preston was there. he talked about his desire to be indoors, this notion that people don't want to go into shelter is a myth. if it's safe, if it's dignified, people will come indoors. >> so talk about what the long term plan is here, because you're talking about moving, moving people from from living on the streets into temporary housing units. what what is the what is the way that you get them into long term permanent

housing? >> we need to build housing at the state level right now to get into permanent housing in san francisco. there's a 14 year waiting list, right? so we can't wait to build our way out of this issue. we as a society need to do better. we need to build more affordable housing in san francisco, in the bay area. and frankly, statewide. >> but does your plan, will your plan divert funding that would otherwise go to building more permanent housing so that you can build the temporary shelters? >> right now, there's a there's a there's some mixed incentives where people would rather get the government wants you to get somebody housed for $1.2 million rather than get 50 people off the street quickly. our plan is going to get people into safe, dignified shelter quickly so that they can get stabilized. they don't fall into addiction or into mental health issues. we can do this. this question always goes back, you know, well, you're pitting people

against each other. no, we need to get people off the streets. there's nothing progressive. there's nothing dignified about staying on our streets. we can end unsheltered homelessness and we can do it quickly. >> and daniel, you argue that this is a more cost effective way, but you haven't actually put a cost on this. and where does that money come from? how do you make that happen? >> well, we did today. we it's $175 million over five years. it's a public private partnership that's been backed. this approach has been backed by the business community. there's already a planning grant towards this approach. once again i have a track record of doing this at tipping point of raising private funds, partnering with government to get this done. and as i said, at the top, it's more costly to have people on the streets cycling in and out of the emergency room, which is the most costly part of our health care system. we need to do better. we need to get people off the streets and into shelter as quickly as possible. if there

was an earthquake tomorrow in san francisco and there was 3000 unsheltered people, guess what? we would do? we'd do it in weeks. we'd stand up enough shelter beds. why aren't we doing it for the people? our for our unhoused neighbors? >> you propose responding to it like it's an emergency? yes. >> and it is. >> all right. we appreciate you coming on to thank you for having me. yeah. mayoral candidate daniel lurie from san francisco. thank you. thank you. >> and be sure to stay with us right here on the floor. we're going to take a closer look at a just released report on the number of homeless people in alameda county, a berkeley city council member joins us live to talk about the homeless population ecline in her cit

situation in alameda county. >> yeah. overall the unhoused population dropped by 3% over the past two years, according to a federally mandated one day count that was done back in

january. >> but when you break down the numbers by city, the results are a little bit more mixed. some cities, including oakland, hayward and dublin, all saw increases in their homeless populations, while others saw a decline. >> all right. one of the cities that saw reduction in its homeless population was berkeley, which experienced a 20% drop in the number of people experiencing homelessness. and for more, we're joined here in the studio by berkeley city council member sophie hahn, who is also running for mayor. >> thank you so much, council member, for being here. so this is a pretty significant decline. tell us what the city of berkeley has been able to do to get to this point. >> well, thank you so much for having me. and i am passionate about the question of homelessness in berkeley. it is our human rights catastrophe and our very own community. and when i and the mayor originally were elected in 2016, we made ending homelessness in berkeley our top priority. and since then we have

invested in programs, policies, people and partners that have been a cohesive plan to reduce and end homelessness. >> in berkeley, we have seen a lot of the encampments in the city of berkeley, especially those large ones along the freeways. they're no longer there was this a concerted effort by the city to be more aggressive in moving those encampments out? >> it's a more concerted effort by the city to rehouse people. and so we do not just move people along in berkeley, we do extensive outreach. we have state of the art programs and facilities to help move people from being unhoused to being housed and so when we go and we work with an encampment area, an area that's very impacted, we will do months of outreach. we do mental health and health care outreach. we do housing intake. we help keep cleanliness in in

the encampment, and we help raise the level of dignity in terms of living. and we build trust. and when we're able to build that trust and then we have real offers of low barrier shelters and of actual hope to be rehouse, and people accept our offers. and so it's it is compassionate work. it is coordinated work. but we have a plan and we are absolutely not just moving people around, okay. >> but when you see a decline like this, what does it mean for the city of berkeley moving forward? i mean, how do you how do you build upon that? >> well, we are we are confident that we have the right elements in place. but this is a problem that the problem of large numbers of unhoused people living on our streets and throughout alameda county, in the bay area. this is a problem 50 years in the making. and so

we can't resolve it in three years. but you see these stunning results that we have. it's absolutely stunning. we have a 45% decline in unsheltered homelessness, meaning 45% less people are actually living unsheltered on our streets. so what we need to do is double down on what we're already doing because what we are doing is working. >> when you dig a little deeper into these numbers, you also, in the city of berkeley are seeing a growing number of unhoused people accepting services or accepting spaces at at a nearby shelter. what what is it about your approach? because that's, you know, tends to be one of the sticking points that you run into is that people don't want to accept the services or the help. what are what is your approach in berkeley that is different? i think a lot of people might be interested to know if you're if you're approaching this differently, if somebody offers you a bad deal, you're not going to take it right. >> and so traditionally when you ask somebody, okay, would you,

would you come into a shelter tonight? they'll ask you, okay, well could i bring my possessions, my stuff. no, you can't bring your stuff. can i bring my pet? this pet means a lot to me. i get a lot of solace from this pet. may i bring my pet? no. what about my friend here? oh, well, you're. you're a man. and your friend's a woman. this is a shelter only for men. you can't bring your friend with you. so. and then the other question. well, how long can i be in the shelter? one night. so i have to give up my friends, my pets, my possessions. and you're offering me one night? that's not a good deal, right? so part of it is about what we're offering. we are offering people long term shelter, transitional housing, a true path to being rehoused. and you can bring your pet. you can bring your possessions. and we're taking people in, in groups, family groups, friend groups. we're working with people in ways that are meaningful to them and that

accommodate their very real needs. and, and that's and that is how you bring people in. but it's also because of all the outreach we do. and i really want to shout out to the city of berkeley staff, in particular, peter radu, who runs our homeless programs for many years. the care and all of all the people in berkeley, the compassion and care, the patience to go and work with people who are facing severe challenges and go out over and over again and build that trust and then have a good offer. yeah so and that's the key. people say yes. yeah. all right. >> well appreciate the conversation. >> we do. thank you so much. >> berkeley city councilmember sophie hahn, thank you for coming in. >> thank you. and it is a significant decline. hopefully we will start to see that in other cities here in the bay area. >> we would love to share our model. >> all right. thank you. >> thank you. >> now to some developing news

that we're following at this hour in berkeley. this is where a protest happening at the former anna head school there on channing and bartlett streets. there are these are live pictures. now, our crew there on the scene says that pro-palestinian protesters are actually inside the building, and some are spraying graffiti and others setting up tents as you can see here, right outside of that building, the historic building is owned by uc berkeley. it's been closed, though, since a fire there back in 2022. the encampment on the berkeley campus, as we reported here last night, was dismantled yesterday evening. all right. >> so that is the situation in berkeley. and if we head down to southern california right now, this is the scene at uc irvine. a large number of law enforcement officers are staging on that campus this afternoon. that's where student protesters have refused to leave their gaza solidarity encampment. and these were images here taken just a few moments ago. protesters on that campus, like others, are demanding that university divest from companies with ties to israel and weapons

manufacturers, while the student protesters at san francisco state university say they have now reached an agreement with the school's president on the issue of gaza and are beginning to dismantle their encampment. >> ktvu christian captain joining us now live from the sf state campus and christian, the student leaders there say this is just the end of the first phase of their efforts to shift the school's perspective. >> yeah, it's a good way to put it the end of the first phase. now, if you take a look around me, you can see that there's been a substantial change in just the few hours that we've been out here. when we first came out here, there were tents in this area. you might be able to make out the, areas on the grass where those tents were. a lot of those tents in the process of being dismantled right now, there are still a significant number of people here in this area. but again, the tents are coming down at this hour. student organizers tell me that the talks are ongoing with the university president, but say that the concessions are an important first step. a student organizers who have camped here on the san

francisco state university campus for the last two weeks say they've reached an agreement with the university's president addressing three of their four demands. protesters have been calling for the university to disclose the school's investment portfolio, divest from companies that fund war or support israel, and clarity on upcoming legislation they say would curtail their rights to protest on campus. the student organizers say. though this is only the beginning. >> so what we're working towards now that we've gotten this first, really important first step here at our campus is organizing with students at all of the different csu's to come together, go to the board of trustees meeting and make that change on a more systemic level. >> in a statement, san francisco state's president said that there have been times when student activism has pushed for positive institutional change. and she said this is one of those times. the president saying in part, quote, students for gaza has pushed us to reflect on and commit to working with the sf state foundation to review and draft a revision to our existing environmental,

social and governance investment policy statement. we will support the addition of a human rights based investment strategy, including divesting from direct investments in weapons manufacturers. the schools also pledged to create a website to clearly lay out its investment strategies and outlined her concerns about any legislation that students say would abridge their rights to free speech. student organizers again, have already begun to dismantle their encampment here and say they are ending the day and night encampment. they say that there will still be some tents here that will be here, essentially to address questions that are ongoing. but for now, guys, they say that the day and night protest that's coming to an end. >> all right. christien kafton live for us in san francisco. christian. thank you. >> all right. a major vote today on air travel. stay with us. we're going to break down the bill that includes more than $100 billion in funding for the faa. and just what it means for travelers and barry, whether still some stubborn clouds out

to be honest. it's not the most exciting forecast, but i like it. >> i'm not thrilled by it. >> exactly. yeah. we'll try to make you like a good marine layer. yeah you've always said that. exactly. and we'll embrace the marine layer right. yeah and it's back around this afternoon and tonight. so as we check out the forecast for tomorrow no big changes headed our way. some clouds in the morning clearing back to near the coastline. no major heat to talk about. just some 60s 70s and the warmest locations will be approaching the lower 80s tomorrow afternoon. so here is that marine layer as we try to add some excitement here. and you can see it's a deepening a little bit. and that will translate to a little bit of a cooling trend as we head toward the weekend. here is the satellite throughout the day and lots of low clouds hugging the coastline from santa cruz to half moon bay to san francisco, out toward the marin headlands. you can still see a pretty good onshore breeze as well, so be aware the winds have been increasing over the past few hours. we'll go ahead and take a closer look at the fog. as you can see from san francisco's ocean beach to point bonita out toward the golden gate bridge as well, and already a patch moving into the marina this afternoon.

as far as current numbers out there right now for the 4:00 hour, we still have some warm readings, warm readings out toward concord and livermore, but not incredibly hot in the upper 70s san jose 75, oakland 63, and santa rosa. only 69. we'll check out the wind reports right now, and these numbers have been going coming up a bit over the past few hours. we'll show you what sfo winds out of the northwest at about 22 miles an hour in mountain view, gusting at 20 miles an hour. here is our live camera looking out toward sfo. you can see some blue sky up above, but then we also have some fog kind of contouring the hillsides here. and that cloud deck once again, just like last night, will expand in coverage and we could be talking about some drizzle as well first thing tomorrow morning. so low clouds to start out your thursday temperatures. lots of 50s out there and maybe some drizzle once again near portions of the shoreline and right around the bay. here is the forecast model tomorrow morning, showing you some of the overcast out there and then into the afternoon hours. the clouds will clear back to near the coastline, so temperatures ranging from around 60 for the

coast. if you're looking for a sunny, hot beach day, it's not in the forecast for tomorrow. we'll have some patchy fog out there and the warmest locations. as you can see, around 79 to 80 to 82 degrees with clearing skies. so take a look at the numbers for tomorrow for your thursday. no big changes out there. the warmest locations right around 80 out toward antioch and livermore. san francisco will be a cool day in the lower 60s, and temperatures actually even cool off a little bit more in your five day forecast. we will have the full update coming up in just a little bit. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit. mark. thank you. new legislation is now headed to president biden's desk as lawmakers in washington have approved a bill designed to improve aviation safety. >> and east bay congressman mark desaulnier is standing by live. he has been pushing hard for this bill. i'm going to talk live with him about some of the ma

to reauthorize the federal aviation administration faa for five years. the legislation does a number of things, including it improves aviation safety, enhances protections for passengers and airline workers, and invests in airport and air travel infrastructure nationwide. east bay congressman mark desaulnier is a member of the house committee on transportation and infrastructure, and you have been pushing for many of the provisions in this bill. really appreciate you taking the time. how will this make flying safer? >> well, first of all, we're fully investing. on the budget for the next five years, $105 billion in faa. we have a new

director and we're requiring much more in terms of safety. and all this started for me, as you know, heather, with the near-miss at sfo almost nine years ago, where we almost we came within 55ft of having the biggest aviation disaster in the history of the country. so we put a lot of work into this. the committee and myself. and i'm very proud of what we've done on a bipartisan basis with this bill. >> yeah, we have spent a lot of time, congressman, talking about the issue of near misses. and there have been a number of them. what specifically does this bill do to improve runway safety? >> well, we require new technology, upgraded technology, best available both in the cockpits and in the towers. so the approach at sfo would have been found out much earlier that they were they weren't aligned properly, then there's a lot of work around the procurement process and making sure that all of the operators, the mechanics, the pilots, the air traffic

controllers are all really familiar with the technology. and then there's much more accountability. so the things that happen with the alaska airline, the things we've done to uncover at boeing, there's going to be much more transparency in airport reporting and oversight. so i'm really confident that this is going to improve, a lot of the things that have been troubling you mentioned air traffic controllers. >> there is still a major shortage of them, about 3000 controllers short. what does this legislation do in an effort to try to help fill that gap? >> so part of the $105 billion is to fund the recruitment and training and raise raise the wages, in the benefits of air traffic controllers in a way that still has to be collectively bargained, but we know will attract people into the field, particularly in areas like san francisco and new york, washington, la, where the cost of living is so high. so we know that's part of the problem with attracting people into the field . >> and you also mentioned technology, but something that

you really fought to include in this bill is to increase cockpit voice recording. talk a little bit more about that. yeah >> so the international standard was much higher than the us, we were three hours. this bill was a compromise to 25 hours. so it won't be recorded over too soon so that the national transportation safety board and the faa will have time to make sure they go through that really valuable information. it also protects the pilot's privacy that they were concerned about so that their employers wouldn't misuse it. so we've done with the european union has done, in a lot of those regards for privacy protection, but also more, accessibility for ntsb and faa. >> you also mentioned additional protections for airline workers. there's also a component of this that protects all of us. the flying public. talk about that portion of this legislation. >> so it mandates rebates. if your flight is delayed by any more than three hours domestically and six hours international locally, and it

also gets a really defines and gets away with a lot of the fees that consumers were being charged, so, for instance, a family can no longer it's prohibited to charge a fee for family to want to sit together things like that. >> yeah, yeah. a really all encompassing bill again, congressman, i know it's something that you've been pushing hard for over the last couple of months. glad to see it finally happening again. it's going to the president's desk awaiting his signature. congressman desaulnier, always a pleasure. thank you sir. >> thank you. >> heather, coming up here on the four this afternoon, a big milestone for those new peregrine falcon chicks at the top of uc berkeley's campanile today. researchers put tracking bands on those four birds. a member of the volunteer group cal falcons is going to be joining us live after the break to talk about why this is so important. plu we'll talk about the all important naming contest for t se chicks that is

dupixent helps people with asthma breathe better in as little as 2 weeks. and when you can breathe better, what isn't better? this is better. this is better. that's better. and that. even this. dupixent is an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. that's pretty good! dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. it can reduce or even eliminate oral steroids.

and doesn't that make things better? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. tell your doctor right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines including steroids, without talking to your doctor. when you can get more out of your lungs, you can du more with less asthma. and isn't that better? ask your doctor about dupixent, the most prescribed biologic in asthma.

female and two of them are male. their parents are annie, the famous peregrine falcon who's lived at the campanile nest since 2016, and her new partner, who arrived earlier this year, who's been named archie by their loyal falcon fan base. and for more, we're joined live this afternoon by sean peterson from the group calle falcons. sean, great to see you once again. i know this was a big day. explain to everyone what this process is all about. why do you put these identifying bands on each of the chicks? >> yeah, it is a really big day, banding is really one of the kind of strongest scientific tools we have for understanding bird movement, bird migration, bird survival, it's a really powerful scientific tool, before we banded birds, we really had no idea where they went, most of the year, and so it's kind of like giving a social security number to a bird. it gives them a unique identifier that we know if we ever see that bird again, exactly who it was and where it

came from. >> and do these bands have actual sort of real time tracking capabilities within them, or is it just if you spot that same bird again in the future? >> correct. it just requires that you have to look for them, they're really small, very lightweight. don't interfere with the bird at all, and so it does require people to find them again. and we've gotten very lucky to have some of our chicks found again, including the famous, larry who lives out on alcatraz. now >> okay, so i was watching some of the video here. you know, i think that these chicks, they may not have been entirely thrilled about having the bands put on them today. >> let's see. you know, they were probably maybe not the most happy about it, their parents were probably the least happy of the, annie was very, very aggressively defending the territory and really wanted to get us out there, out of there as quickly as possible. but all the studies that have been done here, what they do, challenging part about putting the bands on

them, really, it's just, it's not a huge challenge as much as, you know, maybe keeping your head low so that annie doesn't kind of knock you out a little bit. she's she's pretty intense up there. >> i can i can imagine protective as any mom would be here, take a look at what annie was doing during all of this. we added the music by the way, so annie was nearby. just kind of keeping an eye on things. what do you think is going through annie's mind? what is she thinking during this whole process? >> well, the way we kind of interpret it is that she thinks that there's a predator invading the nest, and she is trying to drive them away and then succeeds. and so in her mind, she is successfully defended the nest, everything is hunky dory, she's scared away. these kind of scared away, these big, hairless things that are entering her territory, so maybe she gets more and more bold every year because she keeps scaring us

away every year. >> yeah. all right, so this is obviously an exciting day. you have bands on these on these birds now, so you'll be able to know if you come across them in the future. what do you expect in terms of when these chicks will be leaving the nest and taking flight. >> so we expect them to fly in roughly the first week of june. so we have two males this year and two females this year, and males tend to fly a few days before females do because females are so much larger than males in this species. and they just take more time to grow and get the right feather length, so we're expecting sometime in the early early june, but it's hard to pinpoint when that's going to happen. >> all right. that'll be another exciting moment, i'm sure. all right, now we have to figure out what we're going to call these birds, you have kicked off your naming contest for the peregrine falcon chicks today. you did it this afternoon. you're asking people to give some suggestions on social media, and then people can vote on their favorites. how is this naming contest going to work, and when do the results come out?

>> yeah. so we have three threads, one on x, one on facebook and one on instagram. they can all be found on our website. cal falcons dot berkeley dot edu. and people can submit their names suggestions there. and we are seeing some really great suggestions already. and if you go to those threads and you find names that you like, throw a, throw a like on those and we really want to know which ones are people's favorites. and then, we're going to announce the, finalists on monday and people will be able to vote for the final names for the chicks. >> yeah. and you always get the most creative names from people every time you do these contests. wait, that sort of begs the question here. what do you what are you calling these chicks now before you have given them actual names, you know, there's, there's cheeto toes, who we called that because, because she's got, like, bright yellow feet, and then, then the only other one that's really noticeable is little bit. who's

the one who has born, her hatched two days after all the others. so he's quite a bit smaller a little bit later. >> yeah, yeah. all right, i like that, i like those. so potential options there. all right. but i know you're going to get some great, great submissions here from folks in the naming contest. sean peterson from cal falcons. great to have you on as always. thank you. >> thank you so much. sure a little bit i see what you did right there alex. >> alex always with the great dad jokes. always. you never disappoint. okay? i want to give one more look at those falcon chicks. just enjoying the really great weather that we were talking about earlier today with our meteorologist, mark tamayo. and mark is back with me now. and the forecast, it is so interesting though. mark the names that people come up with here in the bay area. so it'll be really fun to see what they come up with this time. >> yeah, we'll get the list coming up in a few days. you know, my family will probably. my family will probably get a dog in a few years. yeah. i

think the number one name right now is glenn with two wins. okay, glenn. okay. glenn. yeah. >> i say we need the chicks. alex, heather and mark. okay. >> we'll see how that does on the on the right. >> see if we can get the votes. there you go. >> yeah, glenn as well. we'll see. but glenn i like glenn. yeah, but as far as weather across the country and here in the bay area, the temperature outlook, we're looking long range here. may 20th 3rd to may 29th. you can see out toward the west. there's a strong signal that we will have temperatures cooler than average. so that's a possibility over the next few weeks here as we're not talking about any major heat out there as we show you the average temperatures for today, may 15th, you can see the actual highs for today, some areas a little bit below the average, some areas a little bit above the average san jose, the average high 74 there up to 77 degrees this afternoon. here's the satellite where you can see lots of clouds from santa cruz to san francisco out toward the marin headlands. and already some patches really never cleared out toward portions of the bay. and this will kind of ramp up in coverage in the short

term. so here's the cloud cover from ocean beach out toward the marin headlands here. and already this patch heading out into the bay. and this will kind of expand in coverage over the next 3 to 4 hours. current numbers out there where it's cloudy, it's cool. you can see half moon bay right now, 57 san francisco, 60 degrees. some 70s for livermore and san jose and santa rosa in the upper 60s as far as the wind reports right now, you can see winds they picked up, but nothing to not extremely strong oakland airport winds out of the northwest at about 15 miles an hour, and sfo winds out of the northwest at 22 miles an hour. here is our live camera looking out from the south bay. camera. you can see the green hillsides here, but they're starting to lighten up here a little bit. some dry and of course, and then lots of clear skies from this vantage point. but as we showed you, the low clouds already hugging the coastline, getting ready to push back into the bay overnight temperatures will be in the 50s to right around 60 degrees. and here's the forecast model tomorrow morning. and then into the afternoon hours, the clouds will clear back to near the coastline once again. so partly

cloudy skies for san francisco. some stubborn overcast clearing inland. but we're not talking about any major heat. no 90s in the warmest locations, barely making it into the lower 80s. not a lot of change with the weather pattern. we still have this big area of high pressure. you can see this ridge out here in the pacific. this area of low pressure is still closer to a southern california. and then for us, as we talked about, we're still going to hold on to that onshore breeze. so some cloud cover in the morning. partly sunny into the afternoon hours. it looks like temperatures will actually trend down a little bit for both the friday and into the weekend. so for the weekend, we're just thinking some 60s and some 70s out there. maybe a few spots close to 80 degrees. and that's what we have for tomorrow. for your thursday. san francisco 63, concord in the upper 70s. antioch and livermore, close to 80 degrees. and san jose in the upper 70s the winds just like today and basically this time of year, the winds do pick up into the afternoon hours around 15 to 25 miles an hour. here's a look ahead. your five day forecast. and as you can see for your

thursday, some fog out there clearing back to near the coastline. partly sunny on friday. a little bit of a drop off in the numbers. so if you're making outdoor plans this weekend, you will not have to worry about heat at all. so no rain threat. and we're not talking about 90s or not much in the way of 80s 60s and some 70s and then clearing skies into next week. so there's this, this pattern, just some minor changes over the next several days. they'll take us into the weekend. >> okay. thank you. i'm serious though, boys. i'm going to ride in. yeah, the name's heather. mark, alex and glenn. >> we'll see. maybe we'll get some traction on them. maybe we'll make it official. it's making a painting, i like it, yeah. >> all right, glenn and glenn, i know mark said it's popular. >> it'd be great if we win. and then people go, who's glenn? >> all right. hey, stay with us. we've got more news headed your way. but first, we're gonna head outside to see how traffic is moving along on this. what day is this? is this wednesday? yeah. wednesday afternoon. here are the conditions along the east shore freeway, where it is pretty jammed up r ht

lower last month. fox's edward lawrence has a look at the numbers as. >> president biden says fighting inflation remains his top

economic priority. the cpi inflation report came in in line with expectations. now inflation came down slightly across the board. this is one month of inflation data. so folks are still feeling the cost of higher prices. now according to this latest report today people are paying about 19% more than the month president biden came into office. all food is up 21% compared to that same time frame . food at the grocery store up about the same energy, costs up about 38% since january of 2021, and rent is up 21% since the month president biden took office. the response to the lehman crisis was a 4 trillion fiscal and monetary. >> the response to covid and the banking crisis this time around is 16 trillion, and inflation just doesn't normalize. after a $16 trillion fiscal and monetary response inside four years. >> now, in this report, rent and gas led to 70% of the inflation increase. fed chair jay powell says regardless of the inflation numbers, the federal reserve needs to see more.

>> i would say my confidence in that is not as high as it was. having seen these readings in the in the first three months of the year. so we're just going to have to see where the where the inflation data fallout. >> powell says that we need to see more than one quarter's worth of inflation data to see if inflation is more persistent going forward. at the white house, edward lawrence fox business ktvu fox two news at five starts now. >> good evening. i'm julie julie haener and i'm mike mibach. we begin with breaking news at uc berkeley. one day after the pro-palestine tent camp at uc berkeley broke up, another protest has popped up tonight. this one at a vacant building owned by the university right near campus. >> let's go straight now to our ktvu bailey o'carroll. bailey what are you seeing? >> well, mike and julie, i do want to start off by saying the university told me when i got to the scene here that it is a completely different group than withast night. they say they do not know who this group is

behind me. i want to move out of the way so you can see what's going on. as you can tell, they have set up different sorts of tents kind of out front, but also overtaken this building, this is the anna head complex here on uc berkeley's campus. they've been out here for a couple of hours. we've heard them cleaning up broken glass inside of that building. i talked to berkeley police. they estimate anywhere from 10 to 20 people may be inside of that building, which actually caught on fire years ago. the condition inside that building not great. according to them. they also have some couches set up out front here. and then we've also seen a number of times there's a skylight up on the roof, maybe a little hard to tell, covered by the tree in front of this house. but we've seen a number of people pop out of that skylight at times sitting on that roof. it looks to be about a three story building. and then when we did get on scene here to i want to mention we had different protesters come up and block our camera's lens with tarps. they came up and asked us to not record. of course, we are on
