like their opinion. >> pro-palestinian protesters not backing down at uc berkeley. the situation that the police are monitoring right now, now. and governor gavin newsom is right now at the vatican. the reason he decided to take that trip halfway around the world from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two. well, good morning to you. thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it is thursday may 16th and steve paulson is back. yes he is a little cool breeze out there. >> it feels like what's it look like a little drizzle to a little bit. yeah a little bit 50s on the temps. it's another big, big fog bank out there. and tampa you can see i mean there's plenty out there. you're like i haven't had my coffee yet. i can't see it i get it and i understand that. but temperatures there are some significant differences on the forecast highs for obvious

reasons. i'm leaning on the cooler side. so 60s and 70s. speaking on the cooler side, here he is, mister sal castaneda, free trade coffee, steve with glacier water, a handpicked organic, shade grown and only sustainable coffee. >> exactly. that's exactly it. all right, let's go to highway four, there was a crash. highway four, right. let me put the indicator just to show you. right at the connector ramp to 242. there's a little bit of a backup there. as they clean up the remnants of a big rig crash. it's almost gone. they're still clearing up some debris, but there's only a little bit of a backup there right now. if you're going to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is light. so right now we have a good start for you to grab that cup of coffee and go 401. let's go back to the desk. >> okay, sal, we'll demonstrators in berkeley have taken over a building owned by uc berkeley that's not far from the campus. >> yeah, uc berkeley officials say they believe these are not the same people who set up camp

at sproul plaza. ktvu bailey o'carroll reports on what police are doing to monitor the situation. we will not go away. >> the proposed group took over this property near the campus of uc berkeley, breaking down boarded up windows, climbing on the roof of the anna head complex and graffitiing pro-palestinian messages. >> protesters also brought in pallets and pallets of supplies, indicating this group intends to hold their ground. the protesters denied our request for an interview, but students passing by say they don't agree with this style of demonstration. >> i also think it's about striking a balance. gathering the most attention is the primary objective and like depending on, you know, the magnitude of the circumstances, i think there's more leeway with this type of thing. yeah. in general, i would say that, you know, it's not good to vandalize private property. >> this latest demonstration comes less than 24 hours after a different pro-palestinian group dismantled their encampment in

sproul plaza after coming to a resolution with the university. in a statement, the university said today is the 55th anniversary of people's park. an action was first announced on platforms controlled by people's park activists. they are vandalizing an unsafe, boarded up, fire damaged building next to people's park. we have confirmed that the coalition with whom we reached an understanding yesterday did not initiate today's action. uc berkeley police say they estimate 10 to 20 people are inside the building, which no longer is in use because of a fire that left it badly burned in 2022. the protest has been largely peaceful, something students like william are thankful for as he was busy moving across the street from the protest. >> i didn't even like, know because we got like a warn me, like, you know, our campus, kind of like news, like alerts, whatever. and they're like, oh, police activity on like, this street. i'm like, oh, like what's going on? and i see, and it's just, it doesn't look like too much is going on. >> everyone we spoke to hopes the protest remains this way.

it's unclear for how long these folks will be out here in this encampment. we can't tell you that there have been police and chp here on the scene. just monitoring the situation in berkeley. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. bailey thank you. time is 403. will the protesters who had been at sproul plaza on the cal campus, packed up and went to uc merced, where the uc regents are meeting? they want the regents to divest from companies that give support to israel during the war in gaza, an investment officer for uc said the uc system could lose $32 billion of its $175 billion in assets if it agreed to the demands of the students to divest. uc officials have already said they don't plan to divest today, classes at uc irvine will be held online following a showdown on campus between the police and pro-palestinian protesters.

>> three protesters took over the physical sciences building and blocked the entrance. that's when university police called for assistance and hundreds of law enforcement officers in riot gear rushed to the campus. many demonstrators were detained when they would not leave, and the university declared their protest an unlawful assembly. >> no more business as usual. when 15,000 children were bombed in the past three months. no more business as usual. we all love each other. we all care about each other, our people, our humanitarian standing up for human rights here. >> we don't know yet if any of the protesters were formally arrested or just detained. the encampment that had been on campus for a few weeks was also cleared. now you can stay up to date on the continuing campus protests across the bay area and nationwide. just go to ktvu.com for the latest updates. the presidential debate schedule is now set. it began with a social media post from president biden challenging donald trump to two

debates. trump quickly accepted there will be two debates 1st june 27th, hosted by cnn, the other september 10th on abc. >> biden seemed to be driving this car all day and i think that you will see republicans questioning they don't like cnn. they really don't like abc. they'll be questioning why president trump agreed so quickly to do it this way. >> both campaigns have bypassed the commission on presidential debates, which had already set dates and venues for three debates in the fall. >> can i take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation, without any mental reservation? >> after a few days on the job, it looks like oakland's new police chief is settling in. the city released this video of police chief floyd mitchell being sworn in. his first day on the job was monday. a public swearing in ceremony is expected in the near future. >> people across the bay area are getting on their bikes this morning to join the national celebration, promoting bikes as

a way to commute. previously called bike to work day, the annual event is now referred to bike to wherever day. the change reflects the fact that many people's work and commute habits have shifted since the pandemic. several cities around the bay area have events planned this morning to celebrate and encourage people to ride their bikes. >> our time is now 406. will the oakland ballers baseball team hope to include a bit of the city's sports history at their new baseball field in west oakland? the ballers formally asked the coliseum joint powers authority for the right to buy about 5000 bleacher seats that were last used when the raiders played at the coliseum. those seats have been sitting unused in the parking lot of the stadium since the raiders moved to las vegas. now, if that purchase is approved, the ballers would install them before next year's season. well the giants have a much needed day off today after playing 16 straight days, they'll host the colorado rockies starting tomorrow. >> after enjoying their first

win of the season against the dodgers, 4 to 1. mike yastrzemski hit a two run homer in the third inning. logan webb threw six shutout innings, but the play of the night came from outfielder luis matos, who stretched over the center wall. now watch this here. there it is, rob. the dodgers of a home run. quite a play. let's see that again. just catch that over the wall. well the a's need a win today against the houston astros to avoid a four game sweep. the a's were shut out three zeros. the offense struck out nine times. could only muster two hits. the a's have dropped four straight games. well, hopefully it'll be nice weather this weekend for baseball. >> what's your definition of nice weather? i mean, sunny, yeah, my definition is not too hot, not too cold right? maybe 78 i can tell you that. okay. all right. we have big fog bank drizzle out there. kind of

interesting here. i'll just show you this. it's watch the thunderstorm activity coming off the mountain. see? look at that. so if you're up in the mountains, maybe a little activity, but boy, this is a big fog bank in place. pretty decent breeze as well. mount diablo west at 30, san francisco, one observation west at 15 west southwest in the oakland berkeley hills. but the key this time of year is travis 28, gusting to 37. in the words of sal castaneda, they're done. and by that i mean there's some huge differences on the forecast highs. if travis has augusta 37, there's no way they're warming up that much unless something collapses. and i don't think it will in the fog. banks that big. so look for drizzle 50s on the temps. we are starting off on the mild even 60 vacaville brentwood 61 a lot of 50s here due to the low cloud deck. even to the north. i don't think that konocti is right, but we'll fix that. 50 is on the temps and you know, with the low cloud deck and boy, it's tough to burn off here for some 30s in the mountains. 50 arcadia to 61 in san diego. lots of gray in fact,

it'll be here for a while. maybe some drizzle here. there's a little bit out there this morning. coast and bay. so santa cruz mountains, some of the higher elevations, a couple 100 certainly looks likely. a lot of gray over the bay. low overcast, drizzle, fog, then sun. nice to mild 60s 70s on the thames. >> thank you steve. overdose deaths are down nationwide. coming up. the work being done locally to save lives. but the reason some say this is just one step in the right direction and a message of hope. >> after a near death experience, we'll let you hear from a hit and run victim who's honoring the lives of people who have d d on

on climate change as part of the vatican's climate summit. now, pope francis is hosting the three day vatican climate summit and along with governor newsom, there are regional government leaders and climate experts from around the world. today's session is focused on mayors and governors and how they're dealing with climate change. >> the huts are getting a lot hotter. the dries are getting a lot drier. the wets are getting a lot wetter. the extremes, not just extremes. mother nature extremes in our politics as well . and it marks the moment in many respects we're in. how do we together address those extremes, this moment? >> as part of his trip to italy, the governor will also visit the city of bologna and talk about a new climate partnership with northern italy. time is 413. back here at home, we now know the name of the person who was shot and killed last month in san francisco's bayview district. on april 29th. police

say that charles c.c. lawrence was found after being shot in the area of third and quesada. he was taken to the hospital, but was later pronounced dead. no arrests have been made. the investigation continues by san francisco homicide detectives. >> an annual event in san francisco is honoring people who have been killed while riding a bike last night, dozens of cyclists took part in the ride of silence. ktvu is amber lee spoke with a woman who survived a hit and run while biking home from work. she says the accident changed her life. >> san francisco's ride of silence is a somber remembrance of people killed while riding their bicycles. ghost bikes, painted in white, are memorials placed at locations of deadly crashes. >> i would like to see san francisco be a city that has zero ghost bikes. >> alex thomas is a survivor of a hit and run. we followed her journey from life threatening injuries to recovery in february

of 2022, she was riding her bicycle home after work as a bartender when a driver hit her from behind and sped off. she suffered a traumatic brain injury and was in a coma for more than a month. thomas tells me she's still coping with chronic pain and fatigue more than two years after the crash, but she's grateful for a second chance at life. >> the will to live in me is really strong and i'm never going to give up. >> a message of hope for those mourning the loss of loved ones on this night. >> that's charles. >> charles vincent is among the dozens of bicyclists killed who are being honored. his longtime partner shows me the bicycle that charles gave him grief not only for charles, but for all. >> all the other 40 plus people that will be observing tonight. >> the bicyclists made stops at locations where there have been deadly crashes. organizers say a reminder that the city has made some safety improvements in response to bicyclist killed. a call for proactive instead of

reactive measures, someone is killed in the community. >> it really hurts all of us, even though we may not even know the person. it really because we always feel it could be one of us that can be killed, thomas says. >> even though the driver in her case still hasn't been caught, she says she has forgiven him and now lives a life of gratitude and advocacy. >> if you see somebody who needs help, ask them if they if you can help them. it's love is always the answer. >> thomas is calling on the city to install more surveillance cameras and protected bike lanes, but she's also urging bicyclists to take personal risks responsibility by wearing helmets and observing traffic rules. in san francisco, amber lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amber, thank you. time is 416. the oakland unified school district says its school busses are becoming greener. the school district showed off its new fleet of electric busses. it's working with the transport company zoom to become the first

major all electric vehicle bus fleet in the country. there are 74 electric busses, as well as the charging equipment, and zoom says the fleets batteries will send energy back to the grid when it's not being used, reducing carbon emissions by 25,000 tons by electrifying and having this vision of all students being able to ride on these electric busses, we're not worrying about students being sick. >> we're not worrying about emissions. it just is the right thing to do. >> now, the entire new fleet of electric busses is expected to be available at the beginning of the next school year. zoom is also working with the san francisco unified school district on their electric bus fleet. >> capital expressway is about to get smaller to make room for a new light rail extension project. vta says one lane in each direction will be removed between quimby road to capital avenue. it's all part of the extension of the light rail from the alum rock transit center to

the eastridge transit center. the goal is to make it easier for people to connect to bart in milpitas. a formal groundbreaking ceremony will be held in june. >> our time is 417. the renovation work at the harvey milk terminal at san francisco international airport is just about complete, and ktvu was given a sneak peek and by next month, the final phase of the $2.5 billion project is scheduled to be finished. it features new baggage, self-check kiosks that are designed to be faster than the traditional bag check ins. the terminal is also designed to move passengers and their luggage through security. >> 30% faster, rather than having to take multiple tubs to put all of your belongings into it, you're going to use one large tray that has everything your carry on, your shoes, your belt. it all goes into a single tray, and once you're through security, all of the terminals will be interconnected to allow people to actually wander around

during long layovers, early check ins or delays. >> the refurbished and expanded parts of terminal one are due to open on june 11th. >> water officials in santa clara county want to ban people from camping along rivers and creeks. a proposal from valley water would establish protection zones along the nearly 300 miles of waterways under its control. the move would ban encampments and dumping trash penalties could include $500 fines and up to 30 days in jail for violators who return and reestablish encampments. city leaders say these encampments send garbage and contaminants into the water, but some worry the plan leaves homeless people with limited options. >> a lot of places to go where i pretty much, i like to look for a place that is our partners at valley water to 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 . >> the proposal will go before valley waters environmental creek cleanup committee tomorrow . >> all right. our times for 19. steve paulson is back, and you actually saw some light drizzle a little bit. little clark. >> that is correct, not a lot, but enough where you could see it. and temperatures, as you know, i mean, we really haven't had much in the way of warm weather a couple of days. but the outlook here, at least the 23rd through the 27th shows cooler than average temperatures, so i'll buy into that. it looks like a series of systems are coming in for today. another big fog bank in place. a little bit of drizzle out there. sunny, breezy to downright windy, you can see the low cloud deck, a few high clouds zipping overhead, but the low cloud deck is firmly in place. west south west wind at pittsburgh to 31mph. it's an onshore breeze or wind, and when travis is 28,

gusting to 37, that is extra. hold on the hairspray day. so, there are some big differences in some of the forecast highs as much as ten degrees. i'm not buying the warmer. i'm staying with this big fog bank, now the air aloft is kind of warm for some. i mean, the oakland hills, 49 degrees. that's right above the claremont southwest 17. that'll get your attention. mount veeder, 55, boulder creek 48. so, i mean, again, temperatures below about 3000ft. you can see the activity coming off the mountains. first watch again over by bishop fresno. so there is a little bit of an offshore breeze. and the higher elevations. but at the surface it is all onshore 50 for most here upper 50s to right at 60. but i mean there's some mild air mass in place. water temps have come up. they're about the mid 50s now compared to the low 50s a couple a week ago. 51 kensington, 53 panola, 53. lafayette 53. orinda 54 clayton and north dublin. so everyone's pretty close 30s up at truckee and south lake tahoe, also at mammoth at 39 degrees, too much

low clouds and fog. a little bit of activity pops up over the mountains there. so if you're going up there, just keep an eye on things there. but drizzle looks to be front and center for the next couple of days. maybe not this much, but i do buy into some of this drizzle the next couple of days. so a lot of gray over the bay. low overcast, drizzle, fog than sun. my forecast highs are significantly lower than what you might hear on the radio or somewhere else but 60s and 70s on those temps. >> all right steve, thank you. time is now 421. we take a walk down memory lane with congresswoman barbara lee. the connection she had to the first black woman elected to congress. and the new netflix movie that highlights it all a man tracked a stolen truck across the bay area using bluetooth tracking device. >> but why? he's frustrated with police after h calle them or

busy, don't care. it wasn't until the news got involved were also there, kicked into high gear. >> about an hour later, he received a call from redwood city saying oakland police had towed his car. there's no word about any arrests, but the victim says he's worried those thieves may come back and try to steal his truck again. >> a new report says car dealerships are seeing a jump in sales, but it's not new cars. people are looking for, according to car shopping guide edmunds sales hit record highs due to more inventory and falling prices for used vehicles. the research shows many customers are more likely to afford a used car and sales for new vehicles won't pick up until dealers offer better incentives. this summer, uber is launching a shuttle bus service to and from airports, concerts and sporting events. users will be able to reserve up to five seats from a central location for less than a regular uber ride. the new service will initially be available in miami, chicago, pittsburgh and charlotte. there are plans to expand to more cities in the future. a local university

>> good morning. thank you for joining us here on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark thursday morning may 16th it's friday eve. yes it is. >> and steve the forecast kind of calm pretty much it is mr. clarke. >> that is correct. i the only thing i'd add maybe a little drizzle for some may or may if you're inland, it won't matter. but if coast and bay you're like, hey, hey what's going on here? so it's 50 on the temps, we are looking for a mild start. almost everyone is in the 50s here, but there's another huge fog bank in place here, so i'm leaning on the cooler temps. not the warmer temps 60s and 70s. all right. sounds here for 30. anything we should know about are all good. it's all clear. >> which is nice, steve. and just kind of sitting around waiting for the rush to get here. if you can see it here, you can see traffic is moving along very nicely and we did clear that crash on 242 at for you may see a little bit of slowdown. i may just a little bit but the rest of the commute looks good. so we're just going

to leave it alone as i like to do when things are doing very well. it's 430. let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal. less than a day after one group of pro-palestinian protesters packed up their encampment on uc berkeley's campus, a new group has taken over a university building and plans to stay. dozens of protesters entered the anahad alumni center hall yesterday, breaking boarded up windows and spraying graffiti. the building had been vacant since 2022. right now, it is unclear how many protesters are inside the building. university police are calling this an active crime scene, but some students who live nearby say they are not alarmed by the demonstration. >> i'm really glad that people are expressing like their opinion and are able to like, you know, voice their beliefs and everything, especially like in peaceful manners, like it's not like they're disturbing or like disrupting or like hurting anyone. >> now, we asked the university about it. would not say if police have plans to come in and shut down the encampment or get

people out of the inside of that building. >> our time is now. 431 the president of sonoma state university has been placed on administrative leave after he sent an unapproved campus wide message saying the school had reached an agreement with pro-palestine protesters. in the letter, university president mike lee wrote that sonoma state will take part in an academic boycott with israeli universities, including reassessing study abroad programs in israel. the letter also says the school will review its investments. now, the chancellor of the california state university system says the message was sent without the appropriate approvals. she added i want to acknowledge how deeply concerned i am about the impact the statement has had on the sonoma state community and how challenging and painful it will be for many of our students and community members to see and read. >> student protesters at san francisco state university say they are taking down their encampment after reaching an

agreement with the school's president. they say the school has agreed to make its investment portfolio more transparent and divest from any company that manufactures weapons. immediately after announcing the news, protesters started packing up their tents. student organizers say this agreement does not address all of their demands, but they call it a strong first step. the only demand that we haven't currently met is declared declaring it a genocide, calling it what it is, which is still very important and something that we're going to continue to work on through the summer and into the fall. the organizers also say they are working on bringing all csu students together to make a system wide change. >> our time is now. 433. the artists who created an iconic sculpture at san jose state talked to student demonstrator who set up encampments at the foot of his protest piece. >> you know, this statue is has always been meant to be of service to you so that you could use use it for your advocacy

like it's great. >> now, rigo, 23, created the famous statue showing track and field stars tommie smith and john carlos raising their fists in the air in the black power salute at the 1968 olympic games. the two athletes once attended san jose state. the artist told us that sculpture includes an empty spot representing student activism. >> this monument at the center of san jose state university celebrates the very thing that's happening right now. tommie smith and john carlos were students here. they paid a very personal high price for the bravery of their action in mexico city. >> now, the visit by the artist followed a statement by san jose state saying tommie smith and john carlos disapproved of the statue being used as part of the student encampment. however, the statement added that smith and carlos support the right to free expression and peaceful protest.

>> now you can stay up to date on the ongoing campus protests across the bay area and nationwide. just head to ktvu.com for the latest updates. >> well, new data is out this morning revealing the number of overdose deaths in the united states has gone down slightly since last year. yeah, from 2022 to 2023, the cdc estimates overdose deaths declined about 3. >> ktvu, lamonica peters has details on some of the tools being used to fight the drug crisis here in the bay area. >> doctor cheryl ho is medical director for santa clara county's behavioral health department and says although national numbers declined some, the crisis isn't over. we are hopeful. >> we are hopeful that these trends are coming down, as they have been crushing with the past years of the overdose statistic. >> santa clara county's data board shows overdose deaths increased from 195 deaths in 2022 to 220 8 in 2023. but ho

says they now have more tools to combat the drug crisis. >> we have really increased our prevention efforts through public awareness campaigns. we have increased our harm reduction efforts through countywide distribution of naloxone. and we've also stepped up a number of treatment efforts . and so, you know, our hope is, is that all of these efforts combine across as well here in santa clara county, as well as nationwide have really we're really hoping that these are moving the needle on their overdose crisis since 1999, over a million people have died from a drug overdose in the united states, according to the national center for drug abuse statistics. >> dean schulte is co-founder of finsec, an organization that provides fentanyl test strips and narcan to schools and nightclubs in the bay area. >> what we're seeing now is a change where younger people who have never used any opioid substance, other than that might have been prescribed by a

doctor, are starting to use it. >> drug abuse statistics show that in the u.s. opioids like fentanyl are a factor in seven of ten drug overdose deaths. we are keeping people alive through narcan, which is fantastic, but we need to look at how can we actually prevent overdoses, not just prevent death. if you or someone you know needs help or you want more information about narcan or fentanyl testing strips, just go to ktvu .com and click the link for this story. lamonica peters, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you lamonica. may is melanoma and skin cancer awareness month. and health care professionals are reminding people to protect themselves as warmer weather gets us outside and exposed to the sun for longer periods of time, dermatologists warn the increased sun exposure could raise your chances of developing skin cancer. and doctors point out, while people with lighter complexions have a higher risk, skin cancer can impact every african americans, asians and hispanics do have a risk of

melanoma. >> the risk is much lower because they don't experience sunburns. but the issue becomes late diagnosis and late treatment. >> dermatologists recommend water resistant sunscreen, reapplying often, and this is really important. 10 to 15 minutes before your you head outside. >> i concur pamela. yes, i would agree with that. all right. take a look at the sierra snowpack as you might imagine, it is decreasing rapidly here from march 7th, when there was 100, 102 to now 20in. so that's at echo peak, 7800ft. but you know what? it was another good year. took a while to get going, but it ended up in february, march and april were good. temperatures look to be cooler than average. i'm not really sold on the entire west coast being cooler, but that's the way it does look, at least through the 2728 the rest of may is favoring a lot of low clouds and fog, and near normal temps to

slightly below fog, drizzle. sunny, breezy. temperatures today will be in the 60s 70. there's a significant difference between what's called the national blend of models and then the gfs and the nam on the temps as much as ten degrees. i'm leaning on the cooler outlooks because there's just too much fog and a rip roaring onshore wind. pittsburgh's west at 30 just about. they were san francisco one observation west at 17 oakland berkeley hills west southwest. even davis point is west southwest to 23. but the key here is travis 2837, that's a hang on to your hat kind of day. and that is usually a sure sign. they are they were 82 yesterday. i'd be stunned if they were above 79 or 80 today when they get a win like that. now again it could collapse. but i don't think so. here. there's just too much fog 50s on the temps. we are starting off pretty mild for some here, with a lot of mid 50s to upper 50s. woodside's 52 pacifica one observation, 51 pillar point, half moon bay at 53 and then a lot of mid 50s. 56 looks popular

in here. san carlos, atherton, los altos and los altos hills. usually there's a difference between those two, a little bit of activity could pop up in the mountains, i'll show you that in a second. but for us, drizzle. now, this is over the next 4 to 8 hours. probably not this much, but there's some out there this morning. watch over the mountains. some activity could pop up thunderstorm activity. so if you're heading up truckee, south lake tahoe, kirkwood or mammoth, you keep one of those eyes on the sky. a lot of gray over the bay. low overcast, drizzle, fog, then sunny. nice to mild unless you're out of my forecast zone, i'm going. 60s and 70s. >> thank you. steve. riot police moved in at another california university. coming up, what happened at uc irvine and why students won't be on campus today. >> and an emotional night in the east bay. the new exhibit, focusing on the october seventh attack in israel and how the bay ar 's ewis

of memories, photos of shirley chisholm, the first black woman elected to congress. lee invited chisholm to speak on campus as chisholm began her historic presidential campaign in 1972. it was the start of a life changing friendship and mentorship for lee. >> there was a class here at mills that i was about to flunk because we were required to work in a political campaign. i didn't know shirley chisholm was running, so i passed my class because i got involved in her campaign and i registered to vote. >> if all you're doing is outside yelling and screaming, that's all you're ever going to be a yeller and a screamer. you have to be part of the process. >> the process doesn't exist in politics for black women, you're different. >> chisholm's trailblazing presidential run and life the subject of a new biopic titled shirley, released on netflix. chisholm, played by regina king, a young barbara lee depicted by christina jackson. >> it's been the role of a lifetime in the sense of being

issues that are important in low income communities and the black community, we fight for everybody because we make this country stronger and more equitable. greg lee ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you greg. the latest homeless count suggests fewer people are living on the streets in alameda county. the county released the data from the 2024 point in time count, which was held in january. at the time, there were 9450 people considered homeless. that's a 3% drop from the 2022 survey. as for individual cities, the results are mixed. homeless populations rose in oakland, hayward and dublin, while in berkeley, that number dropped by 20. >> and when i and the mayor of aragon 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. >> now, some critics question the numbers, saying the homeless count is an inexact census and that many people who are homeless can be left out of that final count. >> our time is now. 449 homelessness and housing are the big issues in the san francisco mayor's race, mayoral candidate daniel laurie unveiled the plan that he says will get every unhoused person in san francisco off the streets within six months. it's a public private partnership that laurie says will create 1500 fema style emergency shelter beds. laurie told ktvu it would cost $175 million over five years, but he said that's less expensive than the alternative. >> 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 over the past five monday, laurie is scheduled to debate fellow candidates mark farrell and supervisor ahsha safai. >> mayor london breed and supervisor aaron peskin will attend a separate event that same evening as san francisco tries to increase tourism following the pandemic, there's a shakeup within the group that's in charge of promoting the city. >> now, the ceo of san francisco travel, scott beck, just resigned after only seven months on the job. san francisco travel is an organization that promotes the city to visitors and tourists. beck didn't give a reason for stepping down, but the vice president and general manager of hotel nikko, anna maria presutti, will take over the organization in the interim. all right. i think the tourism, pictures will be nice this weekend. should be sunny and clear, right? >> i don't know about that. no. well, i think it's the usual may

gray in the city. okay. i just think they can't get around that for now, i don't always show this graphic because i don't always agree with it, but i'll buy into the theme today. i'm leaning on the cooler temps versus some projections, which are just, i think, way too warm. so 60s for many around the bay and then inland. 70s maybe this is a little underdone, but i by the theme of it, which is temperatures, i don't think they'll get that warm today, we have i mean, if you're higher elevations, you're either in the 40s or the 60s. there's a big spread here, but fog, drizzle, coast and bay, some mist, drizzle out there. sunny, breezy. and there's a big fog bank out there. and my kid compressed a little bit, but i think the damage is done here unless the wind turns now. atlas peak pittsburgh had a roaring west wind. now it's turned northerly. we'll see. same for mount diablo west southwest though in the oakland berkeley hills, west in the city. and there is a screaming wind out the travis 28 west southwest to 37. and it's all onshore santa rosa, novato, napa, concord, oakland, even sfo out to

livermore. 55, mount veeder only 49 though in the oakland hills, in southwest wind to 17. and boulder creek is only 48, but plenty of low clouds in place, and i think they'll do the usual dance. they'll retreat slowly back to the coast. 50s on the temps. we're on the mild side. unless you're santa cruz mountains or even hollister and 5152 scotts valley is in there. aptos 52 mid 50s though cupertino, saratoga, campbell, santa clara and san jose. a little bit of activity down in the four corners, maybe up in the mountains. could get some thunderstorm activity popping up. there's been some in the central sierra. i think drizzle is the big story for us. maybe not this much, but over the next 48 hours, drizzle looks to be likely here for coast and bay and watching the mountains. so if you just traveling up there for the weekend or early next week, could be some boomers popping up here, but a lot of gray over the bay. low overcast, drizzle, fog, then sun. it will be nice to mild breezy, unless a north wind or a northeast wind kicks in. we'll stay in the 60s 70s. if that does develop, then

some inland areas will pop into the 80s. but i'm leaning on that fog bank a little warmer friday. back to cooler saturday. the nice sunday, monday. >> all right. thank you steve. the presidential debate schedule for this year has now been set. we'll tell you why. both sides see it as an advantage. and the giants lucille is up for the mascot hall of fame. we're going to tell you how you can help

of 50s on the temps. in fact, i think they're all 50s big fog bank in place now. the air aloft is kind of warm, but when the fog rolls in and boy has it ever the last couple of days and it's the same here this morning. some drizzle fog burns back to the coast. sunny breezy inland temperatures. i'm leaning more towards the cooler side than the warmer side, but 60s and 70s as well. there's 50 ways to say goodbye, but there's only one way to get your traffic. and that's what mr. sal castaneda, i see what you did there. >> thank you. steve let's go right to the cameras here. pardon me. at and when the bay bridge traffic starts getting a little busy, you might see a crowd, however. right now traffic is moving along very well onto the bridge. there have been no major issues, so go ahead and drive by there. it looks pretty good. also if you're driving on westbound 92, you will see traffic moving along very nicely all the way over to the other side. now at 501, let's go back to the headlines, okay.

>> sal, will, the president of sonoma state university has been suspended. now he says the university worked out agreements with pro-palestinian protesters. but the university officials say he spoke out of turn. ktvu james torres is at sonoma state's campus right now where more than two week long encampment there is gone. good morning james dave, good morning to you. >> sonoma state university is part of the california state university system, and the system's chancellor called president mike lee insubordinate for announcing that he had reached a number of different agreements with student protesters here. now, in a statement, chancellor mildred garcia wrote the message was, quote, sent without the appropriate approvals. she also added i want to acknowledge how deeply concerned i am about the impact the statement has had on the sonoma state community and how challenging and painful it will be for many of our students and community members to see and read the message she's referring

to is a campus wide alert from president lee. he met with students twice during their more than two week long demonstration. he says the university came to a few agreements that includes disclosing the university's investments with a pro-palestinian student advisory council that will be formed this fall and considered divestment strategies. he also promised an academic boycott against programs that are sponsored by or represent the state of israel. in the latest statement from president mike lee that he sent yesterday, he acknowledges a mistake and says he sent his message without the proper approvals part of it reading quote, in my attempt to find agreement with one group of students, i marginalized other members of our student population and community. i realized the harm that this has caused and i take full ownership of it. i deeply regret the unintended consequences of my actions at this point. now, tents from the encampment at sonoma state are now gone. the csu chancellor says she is reviewing the matter and named

an acting university president, according to the press democrat, some students say they are still planning for a demonstration of some sort during commencement ceremonies, which are set to begin this saturday. reporting live from sonoma state university. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, james, thank you. time is now. 504 protesters who had been at sproul plaza on the cal campus packed up and went to the uc merced. that's where uc regents are meeting now. they want the regents to divest from companies that give support to israel during the war in gaza, an investment officer for uc said the uc system could lose $32 billion of its $175 billion in assets if it agreed to the demands of the students to divest. uc officials have already said they do not plan to divest. >> today, classes at uc irvine will be held online following a showdown on campus between the police and pro palestinian protesters. we are. protesters

took over the physical sciences building and blocked the entrance, and that's when university police called for assistance and hundreds of law enforcement officers in riot gear rushed to the campus. many demonstrators were detained when they would not leave as the university declared their protest an unlawful assembly. no more business as usual. >> when 15,000 children were bombed in the past three months, no more business as usual. >> we all love each other. we all care about each other, our people, our humanitarian standing up for human rights here. >> we don't know yet if any of the protesters were formally arrested or just detained. the encampment that had been on campus for a few weeks was also cleared. now you can stay up to date on the continuing campus protests across the bay area and nationwide. just go to ktvu dot com for the very latest updates. all right, pam, time is 505 this morning.

>> governor gavin newsom is at the vatican. that's where he just delivered remarks on climate change as part of the vatican's climate summit. now, pope francis is hosting this three day vatican climate summit. and along with governor newsom, there are regional government leaders and climate experts from around the world. now, today's session is focused on mayors and governors and how they're dealing with climate change. >> the hots are getting a lot hotter, the dries are getting a lot drier, the wets are getting a lot wetter. the extremes, not just extremes, mother nature extremes in our politics as well. and it marks the moment in many respects we're in. how do we together address those extremes now? >> as part of his trip to italy, the governor will also go to the city of bologna to talk about a new climate partnership with northern italy. >> the presidential debate schedule is now set. it began with the social media post from

president biden challenging donald trump to two debates. trump quickly accepted there will be two one on june 27th, hosted by cnn. the other september 10th on abc. >> biden seemed to be driving this car all day. and i think that you will see republicans questioning they don't like cnn. they really don't like abc. they'll be questioning why president trump agreed so quickly to do it this way. >> both campaigns have bypassed the commission on presidential debates, which had already set dates and venues for three debates in the fall. >> can i take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation, without any mental reservations? >> after a few days on his new job, it looks like oakland's new police chief is settling in. the city released this video of police chief floyd mitchell being sworn in. his first day on the job was monday. a public swearing in ceremony is expected in the near future. >> people across the bay area are getting on their bikes this

morning to join the national celebration, promoting bikes as a way to commute. previously called bike to work day, the annual event is now referred to as bike to wherever day. the change reflects the fact that many people's work and commute habits have shifted since the pandemic. several cities around the bay area have events planned this morning to celebrate and encourage people to ride their bikes. >> all right, time is now 507. the oakland ballers baseball team hoped to include some of the city's sports history at their new baseball field in west oakland. the ballers formally asked the coliseum joint powers authority for the right to buy about 5000 bleacher seats that were last used when the raiders played at the coliseum. those seats have been sitting unused in the parking lot of the stadium since the raiders moved to las vegas. now, if that purchase is approved, the ballers would install those seats before next year's season. crab sandwiches are good. >> the giants have a much needed

day off today. after playing 16 straight games. they will host the colorado rockies starting tomorrow. after enjoying their first win of the season against the dodgers, 4 to 1, mike yastrzemski hit a two run homer homer in the third inning, a hummer as well. logan webb threw six shutout innings, but the play of the night came from outfielder luis matos. take a look at this stretched over that center field wall and robbed the dodgers of a home run. amazing catch. the a's need a win today against the houston astros to avoid a four game sweep. the a's were shut out three zero as the offense struck out nine times, could only muster two hits. the a's have dropped four straight games as well. >> another big fog bank in place, take a look at temperatures going out. this is from the climate prediction center. i don't always agree with him, but in this case, i buy some of it. a cooler than average temps here as we head towards the last half of may. i'll buy into that. i'm not. not really sure. the entire west

coast and intermountain region will be cool, but there are some hints of that possibility here. but for today, dealing with a big, big fog bank. no doubt about it. lots of drizzle. so fog, drizzle and then sunny. breezy to windy. big big low cloud deck in place and it looks like it's increasing, not decreasing. pittsburgh has been west northwest anywhere from about 30 miles an hour northwest in the city. oakland berkeley hills west southwest davis point west southwest to 2628. but travis continues to rock and roll here, 26 west to 37, sacramento gets it. the weather service there went 79 for a high. and i applaud them for that because that's that's correct i agree with that. once they get a gust over 35 usually that's a downward trend on the temps. so that's what i'm leaning on today. 49 the oakland hills west southwest at 17. boulder creek is only 48. mount veeder 55. mount diablo is 67. but you got to get up around 3000ft to find really warm air aloft. just too much low cloud deck in place. and now if the

wind turns northerly or northeast, that would certainly do it. but right now it's all onshore 50s on the temps low mid to a few, even upper on the temps here. a lot of gray out there. and that's going to win out i think. could be some drizzle here. we already talked about that coast and bay maybe not this much, but i think you get the idea. the theme is higher elevations. coast and bay could be dealing with drizzle and the mountains might be looking a little bit of thunderstorm activity, especially if we go into late in the weekend and early next week. no rain showing up for us. gray over the bay for sure. low overcast drizzle, fog retreats slowly, then sun. it'll be nice to mild to breezy, 6070 on the temps and tomorrow does look a little warmer, but then right back to cooler saturday. leveling off sunday monday. >> thank you steve. some good news about overdose deaths coming up. the latest numbers and the work being done locally to save lives, and a message of hope after a near death experience. >> we'll let you hear from a hit and run victim honoring he lives of people

person who was shot and killed last month in san francisco's bayview on april 29th. police say charles c.c. lawrence was found after being shot in the area of third and quesada. he was taken to the hospital, but later died. no arrests have been made. the investigation

continues by san francisco's homicide detectives. >> an event in san francisco brought out dozens of cyclists to remember people who lost their lives while biking to promote safe riding. it's called the ride of silence. last night, people gathered to honor the victims while riding through the city. along the way, they passed ghost bikes painted in white, standing as memorials at deadly crash sites. >> i would like to see san francisco be a city that has zero ghost bikes. someone is killed in the community. >> it really hurts all of us. even though we may not even know the person. it really because we always feel it could be one of us that can be killed. >> the group is also calling on the city to take more proactive measures to ensure bike safety, like adding more cameras and protected bike lanes. it's. also reminding cyclists wear a helmet and follow the traffic rules. >> time is 515. the oakland unified school district says its

school busses are becoming greener. the school district showed off its new fleet of electric busses, and it's working with the transport company zoom to become the first major all electric vehicle bus fleet in the country. there are 74 electric busses as well as the charging equipment, and zoom says the fleet's batteries will send energy back to the grid when it's not being used, reducing carbon emissions by 25,000 tons. >> by electrifying and having this vision of all students being able to ride on these electric busses, we're not worrying about students being sick. we're not worrying about emissions. it just is the right thing to do. >> now, the entire new fleet of electric busses is expected to be available at the beginning of the next school year. zoom is also working with the san francisco unified school district on their electric bus fleet. >> capital expressway about to get smaller to make room for a new light rail extension project, vta says one lane in

each direction will be removed between quimby road to capitol avenue. it's all part of the extension of the light rail from the alum rock transit center to the eastridge transit center. the goal is to make it easier for people to connect to bart in milpitas. a formal groundbreaking ceremony will be held in june. >> it is now 516. the renovation work at the harvey milk terminal at san francisco international airport is just about finished, and ktvu was given a sneak peek by next month. the final phase of the $2.5 billion project is scheduled to be finished. it features new baggage, self check kiosks that are designed to be a lot faster than normal bag check ins. the terminal is also designed to move passengers and their luggage through security. >> 30% faster, rather than having to take multiple tubs to put all of your belongings into it, you're going to use one large tray that has everything your carry on, your shoes, your

belt. it all goes into a single tray, and once you get through security, all of the terminals will be interconnected to allow people to wander around during long layovers, early check ins, or even delays. >> the refurbished and expanded parts of terminal one are due to open on june 11th. >> santa clara county is working to ban people from camping along rivers and creeks. a proposal from valley water would establish protection zones along the nearly 300 miles of waterways under its control. the move would ban encampments and dumping trash. penalties could include $500 fines and up to 30 days in jail for violators who return and reestablish encampments. city leaders say these encampments send garbage and contaminants into the water, but some worry the plan leaves homeless people with limited options. >> a lot of places to go where i pretty much, i'll have to look for a place that is 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 . >> the proposal will go before valley waters environmental creek cleanup committee tomorrow. >> our time is 518. the state fish and game commission has stopped allowing fishing in two key areas because of low numbers of salmon. it's the second straight year fish and game officials banned fishing in the central valley, and klamath river basin is a drought and climate disruption, as well as severe wildfires, have led to harmful algae blooms. that's affecting spawning and rearing habitats. that has caused a chinook salmon populations to just completely plummet out. >> all right, let's check in with steve. >> you know, i have read that at one time in the carquinez

strait, the water was pink because there were so many sounds. so many sounds. >> wow. >> yes. wow. the miwoks would come down from napa towards benicia, the ohlone would come down, and it was pink. so i read that. i hope it's true, but wow, i believe it, i believe wow. all right. the sierra snowpack at one time was, i'd say rather robust as well. but boy, it decreases rapidly once you get to may and that's what's happened here. echo peak had 102in on march 7th. and then on today it's down to 20 and it goes fast, especially when you start getting temperatures pretty warm. i don't always like to show this because i don't always agree with it, but i tend to buy the theme of it today, which is leaning on cooler versus warmer. there's some big differences in the forecast highs as much as ten degrees, but right now i just think there's too much fog and low clouds. i think you'll be warmer than that. antioch, brentwood, probably, you know, closer to 80. but you get the idea here that there's just so much fog out there and drizzle and a onshore. if pittsburgh has a west wind of 30, you're not

going to get that warm. i mean, you'll be upper 70s davis point west to 25, i mean it's just roaring wind even out to travis 26 to 37. i mean, there's just there's just no way they're going to get that warm unless it collapses or turns north northeast. but right now, that's not happening. so a lot of low clouds in place, 50s on the temps. and we are looking for mid 50s now, a few locations, upper 50s. the breezes turned a little southerly. so the water temps have come up a little bit there. instead of being 50 or 51, they're now 55. but it doesn't matter in this kind of a pattern here. there's enough of an onshore push. all that activity, you can see the arizona four corners could be a little bit popping up in the mountains and the sierra over the weekend and early next week. drizzle looks to be likely for us. i don't think there'll be this much, but i think you get the idea here. the theme of it is again, and up in the mountains. so mammoth, kirkwood, truckee, south lake tahoe could be looking a little bit of activity early next week. morning low clouds, drizzle. mist, sunny, breezy. it's a pretty good gusts out there. 60s

cooler than average temperatures . not sure the entire west coast intermountain region will be in that game, but i'll buy it for now. it does look like the rest of the month will be on the average side to cooler than average. it's just too much in the way of low clouds. fog, drizzle, sunny, breezy, cool coast, warm inland. but not. i mean, unless you're in the sacramento valley. i mean red bluff. yesterday was 99, so if you get out to the valley, yeah, it's warm to hot. but for us it's not. we're a little bit of a southeast breeze and that water temps have come up when you get the northwest wind. water temps like this. it was cold. we had upper 40s, low 50s. but when you get that south southeast breeze, san francisco is now 55. half moon bay 56. point reyes 54. in monterey, bowie's 54 and 55. these are about average for this time of year. a roaring west southwest wind for some davis points up 23. oakland berkeley hills. but it's really out towards travis. that's kind of the key there. cordelia hiddenbrooke american canyon. cordelia. fairfield. when it's 26 to 37, that's rocking and rolling that is a

roaring onshore wind. southeast wind for mountain view and also san jose and half moon bay. so that's coming in from the santa clara valley for mountain view. and also san jose 50s on the temps upper 50s even for some, but 30s in the mountains. 50 arcata eureka to 59 in los angeles and 61 in san diego. too much gray for us, so could be a little more than just drizzle. maybe a couple of one hundredths will fall here. i think this is a little a little excessive, but in the higher elevations, 3 to 4 one hundredths wouldn't surprise me. and in the mountains starting on sunday into monday, tuesday could be some thunderstorm activity. just, you know, looking ahead there, that looks to be the only rain in the forecast would be up in the mountains and it would be thunderstorm activity. gray over the bay, low overcast drizzle 6070 on the temps. just subtle day to day changes today about the same. tomorrow a little warmer, a little cooler. saturday then nice slightly warmer sunday monday. >> thank you steve. >> cracking down on vehicle registration. getting some pushback on the peninsula.

injuries and natural disasters, but not to this scale. >> now, these doctors are with the palestinian american medical association, which posted the video you're looking at to x. the doctors first went into gaza on may 1st to provide emergency medical care to civilians. they were supposed to leave on monday, but they were denied exit from gaza. the white house said it knows about the situation, and they're trying to get the doctors out. >> if there was an operation in rafah or potential operation in rafah, it doesn't. we need to get them out. we want to get them out and that is our it has nothing to do with anything else. these are americans impacted american citizens. and so we're working to get them out. >> the white house says the biden administration is in contact with four of the doctor's families, as well as the israeli government. >> oakland congresswoman barbara lee is featured in a new movie

actress to mills college, showing her where chisholm spoke more than 50 years ago. >> i saw some of the movie and the actress who played barbara lee. she was spot on. i mean, she was really good. >> i guess even barbara lee said. it's like meeting my younger self, right? >> right. well we get to meet sal castaneda. he's here watching our morning commute. how does it look out there now? >> doesn't look too bad. dave and pam, good morning to you. right now we see the east shore freeway. let's go to our triple a traffic camera and show you that eastshore freeway there looks pretty good coming around the corner to the berkeley curve. and there you go to the bay bridge toll plaza. and right now at the toll plaza, we do have a backup that stretches to about the end of that parking lot area. it's about a ten minute delay before you make it onto the bridge. san mateo bridge looks pretty good. the peninsula traffic is not bad right now, and if you're driving on 280 101 in san jose, well, that looks okay. driving through no major issues. 549 spring

a bluetooth tracking device. but when he called oakland police about it, asking for help, it was not a priority. ktvu is andre senior in the studio with the details. andre >> well, good morning to you, dave. that man tells us he's frustrated with police for how they handled this incident. yesterday morning, a group of thieves stole a dodge ram pickup truck from outside of his home in redwood city. the owner used a bluetooth tracking device to track his car to east oakland. he says when he found his car on the road, he called oakland police several times, but he didn't get any help, so he decided to call ktvu and when we contacted police, things seemed to speed up, telling them i could see the truck. >> i have a tracker, i can remote start it. i can turn on the lights and they're saying too busy, don't care. it wasn't until the news got involved. we're all sitting there kicking the high gear. >> an hour later, he received the call from redwood city, saying that oakland police had told his car ktvu was present when he went to the tow yard to retrieve his truck. opd didn't

say whether they made any arrests in the theft. for now, the victim says he's worried if nothing happens, the thieves will come back to try and steal his truck again. >> only a matter of time till it happens again. and where is it going to be found next? and what are they going to do? how long it's going to take for them to respond? i feel like the criminal justice system is failing in california, and it's this is a symptom of it. >> he believes the same group cased his home two weeks ago. that prompted him to install security cameras. the victim says he plans to install a kill switch on his truck so that it hopefully does not get stolen again. pam. >> all right. thank you. andre. we are more than a month away from san francisco's pride weekend, but organizers say they are already increasing security. >> if you see something, say something. report suspicious activity to law enforcement, event security or management from all of us with the san francisco police department. have a safe and happy pride. >> san francisco police say there will be a lot of officers this year's event. that's after the fbi and the department of homeland security warned of

possible terrorist threats during pride month. we've reached out to sfpd, and we're waiting to hear back whether they've received any specific threats related to the events. the city's pride weekend is scheduled for june 29th and 30th. the plan for a new rail and transit hub in downtown san jose could cost $10 billion. transportation officials are looking at three options to connect a future bart line with other transit modes. next to diridon station. the plan would include possibly future high speed rail service, caltrain, amtrak and bart, a new report finds. there are three main options for the tracks, either raised off the ground at ground level, or some lines buried underground. capital expressway is about to get smaller to make room for a new light rail extension project. vta says one lane in each direction will be removed between quimby road and capitol avenue. it's all part of the extension of the light rail from the alum rock transit center to the eastridge transit center. the goal is to make it

easier for people to connect to bart in milpitas. a formal groundbreaking ceremony will be held in june. >> all right. time is 618. i'm just looking at something that i just noticed here. and that would be a crash in hayward southbound 880 near alvarado-niles. and at first, it wasn't causing a big delay, so i wasn't paying too much attention . but now i am, because you can see the traffic is beginning to back up pretty much from the eighth street area all the way down to alvarado-niles and union city if you want to get on the freeway after that point, it would be better for you to drive to fremont. so just heads up there. the rest of the east bay commute looks alright. eastshore freeway has a little slowing in el sobrante, but by the time you make it down to the macarthur maze, you can see from our aa traffic camera it looks pretty good. and then when you get to the bay bridge, that's looking all right. it's an ordinary commute here. as you drive into san francisco. so, so, you know,

but i would say, you know, get on the road sooner rather than later. steve, we don't need 50 ways to say goodbye. grab your cup of coffee. >> hey, soul sister, you better get going. right? yes, sir. all right. thank you much, sir. i appreciate it, thank you sir, we do have just a couple of things to show. i'm travis, west southwest, a 35mph. it's west west, i should say oakland. concord's west southwest. so the onshore wind is in place. 50s on the temps here. mid 50s, upper 50s for some. a little bit of thunderstorm activity popped up around the central sierra and headed some of that, what we call the blow off headed over towards southern california. most of it though, there could be some activity popping up in the mountains. maybe sunday, monday, just a heads up if you're going up there, drizzle is likely for us over the next couple of days. gray over the bay. boy, there's a ton of it. it's a low. clouds drizzle. otherwise fog retreats back to the coast. 6070s on the temps here. tomorrow does look a little warmer than a little cooler as we go to saturday.

who had applied but were unable to get the visas while the ban was in effect. now they can reapply without having to pay the fee again. the presidential debate schedule is now set. it began with the social media post from president biden challenging donald trump to two debates. trump quickly accepted there will be two 1st june 27th, hosted by cnn. the other september 10th on abc. >> biden seemed to be driving this car all day. and i think that you will see republicans questioning they don't like cnn. they really don't like abc. they'll be questioning why president trump agreed so quickly to do it this way. >> both campaigns have bypassed the commission on presidential debates, which had already set dates and venues for three debates in the fall. >> can i take this obligation freely without any mental reservation, without any mental reservation? >> after a few days on his new job, it looks like oakland's new police chief is settling in. the

efforts sending hundreds of homeless individuals out into the neighborhoods without a plan . >> the proposal will go before valley waters environmental creek cleanup committee tomorrow. the state fish and game commission has stopped allowing fishing in two key areas because of low numbers of salmon. now, this is the second consecutive year fish and game has prohibited fishing in the central valley and klamath river basin. they say drought, climate disruption and severe wildfires have caused harmful algae blooms , which have affected the spawning and rearing habitat of chinook salmon, causing their numbers to plummet. people living in eastern contra costa county are getting a look at a new recreational park coming to their neighborhood, the city of oakley has approved plans for a regional park that will include camping, fishing, swimming, boating and even a skate park. the new recreational space will be located at the north end of the city, between the contra costa canal and the dutch

ally. it's nice for her to pop into my traffic report southbound 880 at whipple. there's that crash we've been talking about, and it is very slow as you drive from about 238 now. so this backup is growing. it's blocking a lane of the freeway. they're trying to move it, but it's not a great place for that crash to be. right in the middle of all that morning commute. let's go to our triple a traffic camera and show you the bay bridge. you can see that traffic is backed up. there have been no major problems on the span. at 632. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. sal. governor newsom is at the vatican this morning as part of a summit on fighting climate change organized by pope francis ktvu ali rasmus in the studio now, this is not the only italian city the governor will be visiting in the coming days. >> yes, first vatican city, then he will travel to the province of bologna in italy. the goal behind both visits to discuss and share ways to fight climate change and focus on clean energy. now, overnight, governor newsom spoke to an auditorium

advancement. we have the tools. >> tomorrow, governor newsom will head to bologna. that's a province in the northern part of italy. he's expected to sign a partnership with some local leaders there to work on ways to reach 100% clean energy and share ideas on energy independence. now, the governor's office says that that trip to italy is being paid for through a nonprofit called the california state protocol foundation, which gets its money from private donations. pam all right. >> thank you. ali. well, today, teachers in contra costa county will rally outside the office of education in pleasant hill. right now, percent don't pay the rent. >> low percent. >> the teachers say they are unhappy with the pace of contract negotiations. they're asking for wage increases to match the cost of living in contra costa county. superintendent of schools lynn mackey released a statement saying, quote, we are at the fact finding phase of the negotiations process with our certification certified union, where each side can present

and everything, especially like in peaceful manners, like, it's not like they're disturbing or like disrupting or like hurting anyone. >> now, we did ask representatives for the university, but they would not say if the police plan to get those people out of that building or shut down the encampment inside. >> student protesters at san francisco state university say they are taking down their encampment after reaching an agreement with the school's president. now, they say the school has agreed to make its investment portfolio more transparent and divest from any company that manufactures weapons. immediately after announcing the news, protesters started packing up their tents. student organizers say this agreement does not address all of their demands, but they call it a strong first step. >> the only demand that we haven't currently met is declared declaring it a genocide , calling it what it is, which is still very important and something that we're going to continue to work on through the summer and into the fall. >> the organizers also say they are working on bringing all csu

students together to make a system wide change. >> our time now. 636, with the artists who created an iconic sculpture at san jose state, talk to student demonstrators who set up encampments at the foot of his protest piece. >> you know, this statue has always been meant to be of service to you so that you could use use it for your advocacy like rigo 23 created the famous statue showing olympic track and field legends tommie smith and john carlos raising their fists in the black power salute at the 1968 olympic games. >> the two athletes attended san jose state. the artist told us that sculpture includes an empty spot representing student activism. this monument at the center of san jose state university celebrates the very thing that's happening right now . >> tommie smith and john carlos were students here. they paid a

>> time 638 and we do have a typical backup here at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up, but it's an ordinary commute. here's our triple a traffic camera. this is what it's supposed to look like, really, on a regular thursday. if you're driving on the san mateo bridge, you can see that traffic is not ordinary. i think there might be a stalled vehicle on that span or something. i did see a truck going out on westbound 92 with the flashing lights, one of the tow trucks. so it could be that they're removing something from the span and nearby southbound 880 near whipple, there's a crash that's been there for a while, and traffic is backed up from 238, when i look to the sky, i see overcast weather. let's bring steve paulson back in here. >> you are correct, sir. oh, my, my, that is true, because there's a lot out there because we have an onshore breeze and a big, robust fog bank again. so i don't see how we're going to warm up too much. most locations have a west southwest breeze.

the city south of richmond, west southwest oakland hills out to davis point, west southwest sonoma west southwest. even pittsburgh's had a southwest so that in place, along with a screaming west wind to travis 28 west to 35. so, i mean, this is all onshore unless the wind turns northerly. i just don't see how we warm up too much here. 50s on the temps. we are mild on the lows. i mean, because we're getting a south wind or southeast. so water temps have come up. so the lows have come up as well. there's just too much gray in place here, but we could get a little local drizzle. there's been some coast and bay. maybe some more will develop here tonight into tomorrow as well. but when you get this big of a fog bank and that kind of a breeze, it usually spells 60s and 70s for most, unless you just don't get the fog, but maybe a little drizzle here in the next 48 hours or so, but a lot of gray over the bay as we like to say. low overcast drizzle, fog than sun. nice to mild if you're far enough. inland may be warm, but i just went 6070s. when travis gets 35, that's usually means there upper 70s this time of

year. a little warmer friday, back to cooler saturday, then slightly warmer sunday. monday guys. >> okay steve thank you. time 640 well, today in antioch, the carnival rides are opening. we'll tell you the lineup and the dollar deal that's happening today at the contra costa county fair. all right. >> it's getting into fair season. before we get to that, let's head out to our newsroom and check in with garcia for the other stories we're following. for you. good morning. >> good morning. we'll start in san francisco. where for families who've lost loved ones to violence, their pain never ends. next at seven, how the city today is honoring them and their loss. also, mark zuckerberg is celebrating his 40th birthday this week. one of his billionaire friends decided to drop by, and you'd think he'd be staying in lavish accommodations. but in fact, they were quite cramped. we'll explain how zuckerberg's wife decided to give him a tiny version of this is your life. we'll be back
