ailments because we've got to put myself back together again 61 degrees along the seashore today, 78 degrees in our inland areas, which is seasonal. that's the theme right now a deck of cloudiness, overcast skies from the coast to our inland areas, keeping our temperatures pretty unified. there into the 50s. later today, a span is 61 degrees in pacifica, a cooler than that in half moon bay, 72 degrees in hayward. backing through castro valley and outside number will be in antioch at 78 degrees. i've got your full forecast even the bay to breakers outlook. that's still straight ahead. but first things first, here's claudine. >> all right. thank you roberta. more than 2000 students will graduate from sonoma state university today. the university president was set to confer degrees at each ceremony, but he retired after an issue surrounding agreements he made with student protesters. let's go to ktvu. amanda quintana, who is live on campus with what led to mike lee's retirement. amanda >> yeah, well, this is all after

mike lee put out a school wide announcement saying that he had come to an agreement with some of the pro-palestine student protesters here on campus, and he later said that he had made a mistake by putting that message out. he said he did not have the approval to make that agreement. but we are here now at the graduation that's going to start later today. there are three rounds of graduation today, so they're just getting set up. but i want to talk about some of those agreements that were included. they included disclosing university investments to a pro-palestinian student advisory council and promising an academic boycott of educational programs connected to israel. he also called for a cease fire in gaza and said he condemned all acts of genocide, racism and anti-semitism. lee was placed on leave by the csu chancellor for, quote, insubordination. she said that his message was challenging and

painful, and then the next day, she announced his retirement. other universities across the country have come to agreements with students to end campus encampments. there had been an encampment here at sonoma state since late april, but on thursday, when we were here, it was gone right after that agreement was sent out. another protest, though, could pop up today. now, as for those ceremonies, it's unclear if someone else will step in for lee and join the provost in conferring the degrees today. but there are three ceremonies that will begin at nine this morning, and then there's two more ceremonies that begin at one, and then two more that begin at 5:00 today. so it's going to be a busy day here at sonoma state. and we're going to be talking to some of the students, some of the family members coming here. i'm sure they have been paying attention to this story. and we'll see what they think about it. live at sonoma state, amanda quintana , ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you, amanda.

well, a dozen pro-palestinian protesters are now facing burglary, vandalism and conspiracy charges in berkeley. police say they were among a large group of demonstrators who took over a vacant building owned by the university near the cal campus. this week. uc berkeley police in riot gear, along with officers from 20 other local law enforcement agencies, were called in to remove that encampment on channing way late thursday night. >> what happened at anna head was from the very beginning, a criminal act. they broke into a building, they vandalized the building. they trespassed on university property. >> uc berkeley says only one person among the 12 people taken into custody has been confirmed to be a cal student. >> time now is 704. happening today, san francisco mayor london breed will officially kick off her campaign for reelection. breed will appear at the fillmore auditorium on geary boulevard at 10:00 this morning. her office says this campaign event will include several musical acts and a number of

local celebrities. former pa announcer for the giants will also be going to bat for mayor breed renel brooks-moon. among the scheduled speakers at this morning's event at the fillmore. >> well, the mayor's plan to bring two giant pandas to the san francisco zoo is getting some pushback from city leaders. the board of supervisors voted to postpone a request made by the mayor to fundraise. $25 million to host those pandas once they were brought in from china. that money would go to address some of the zoo's infrastructure needs. supervisor al-shafi'i, who is hoping to unseat the mayor this fall, says pandas are a distraction from the city's more pressing issues. >> this is about prioritizing our future. this is about prioritizing our children over pandas. and if we can rally to fund a home for pandas, we certainly can rally to raise money for essential programs that impact every single corner of this city. >> yes, city leaders suggest the mayor should be raising funds for the department of children, youth and their families.

instead, the mayor's office said it would support waivers for both endeavors. >> former workers from the radisson hotel in oakland are demanding payment for more than $404,000. they say they weren't paid. they spoke out in front of the oakland airport hotel yesterday. workers lodged the complaints four years ago, and last october, the city determined the hotel did engage in wage theft, withholding more from 128 workers. but nearly six months later, the workers say they still haven't been paid. >> the city attorney's office needs to file a lawsuit to force the radisson to pay these workers, and the department of workplace and employment standards should impose a penalty on the radisson for each day that they have delayed since the city told them that they owed all this money. >> this current case is considered oakland's largest wage theft case in recent city history, happening today. >> the city of benicia will pay its latest tribute to a hometown

hero of world war two. today's ceremony will honor 97 year old harold bray. he is a retired benicia police officer and the last survivor of the attack on the uss indianapolis in july of 1945, more than 300 american crew members were killed after a japanese navy submarine torpedoed that us battleship. bray was just 17 years old when that happened, and he was awarded the purple heart for his bravery. >> up next, we got a couple of highway closures. you'll need to know about over the weekend, but it's not all road closures. mind you. the way to big sur finally open and it comes at a very good time for businesses down on route one and focusing on mental health with stories of hope. >> a bay area family screens a brand new film tonight in san franci o

♪ (ominous music) ♪ yes, ahh!! mom: what is going on with you? get out! andy! get out of my room! get out! mom: andy. fight! fight! i didn't say anything. yes you did. ♪ (ominous music) ♪ ♪ (ominous music) ♪

adhd and ptsd. >> my name is katie. i've struggled with anxiety and depression. my name is ali and i've struggled with panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. >> my name is derek. i've struggled with bipolar mood disorder. this is my story. >> it is a film that follows the stories of four young people who let us into their journey. as it turns from a sense of despair to a pathway of hope. it was created by the z-cars foundation, a foundation that was established in memory of zachary nemo. the nemo family has been dedicated to starting and sustaining conversations about mental health and now they are doing it through this new film called stories of hope that premieres tonight in san francisco. i sat down with steve nemo and his daughter, samantha nemo. steve was one of the filmmakers. sam is featured in the film, and we talked about the process and what this film means to them. stephen, samantha, thank you so much for

joining us to kind of talk about stories of hope. can we talk about just how this project started? steve. we start with you about really kind of where you went into this space. and i love the idea of how you turned something that is so serious and heavy for a lot of people into kind of an uplifting space. >> yeah, no, thank, thank you for the question. it's for us, the idea of stories of hope actually came all the way back to the covid days, so prior to covid, we used to screen another film about anxiety, and we got a lot of great feedback. everybody liked the media of film, and we were on a walk in a local park, just we wanted to get out during covid and, my wife samantha and i were having a conversation about what sort of the hopelessness we were feeling every time we watch the news or check social media and you know what? what can we do about it? and we started talking about all the great stories that we'd heard. you tell us. and i want

to give samantha credit because i think she's the one that said it. she's like, yeah, we should tell their stories of hope. and the idea of the film was born. and we decided at that point, you know, let's do it. let's share their message with the world and try to inspire others to find hope. >> samantha, for you telling your story and you've told it before in this medium and really being able to frame it in a way to say, for me, watching it, it was light at the end of the tunnel. the tunnel can be very dark, it can be very hard, and it can be very difficult to see the end. >> i think personally, this was really important for me to tell my story just because as a mental health advocate, i feel like it was really important just to get that message out there, you know, because as life goes on, there's always going to be, you know, ups and downs and, you know, we might enter that dark tunnel again. but the point being that there is always going to be that glimpse of hope, there is going to be that light

again. and i think that's the message that really helped me when i was going through a lot of my struggles. so being able to share that was super important to me. >> and so when you guys go into this as well, being filmmakers is not something that that's a that's a new, new space. how was that when you when you walk into a venture that you've never done, you know what you want the content to be. you know what you want the result to be. you know what you want the impact to be. and then there's picking up a camera. and steve, you were telling me a story about like, climbing hills and, and doing all the behind the scenes stuff that people don't realize. can you talk about that experience? >> it would definitely was a journey, you know, we're i'm just an it guy, right? that's that's what i do for a living. but i've, i've always sort of enjoyed the area of storytelling, back when the kids were young, we used to make little videos about their sports seasons and try to tell stories of their season. so that was that was kind of fun. but in this case, we'd already been screening someone else's film and we were friends with the producer and, you know, she gave

us a little bit of boost, like, you know, why don't you guys give it a try? you, you're, you know, what you want to say. so we jumped in, you know, head first into the whole thing. and you know, we asked a lot of questions and took a lot of missteps along the way. but we did to your point. we did. we knew the story we wanted to tell, and we just we just went with it. and for us, it made it easy with, you know, people like samantha sharing her story and the others in the film, they're the stars. they made our job easy. point the camera. let them tell their story and let the audience just soak that in and know that there is hope. >> sam, for you in the message. you know, as you advocate for this as well and see the finished product and sit there, can you talk about the impact it had on your family? >> it was definitely a very surreal moment, the first time that we did a test screening, i had like tears in my eyes because, you know, it has just been such a journey to get to this point. and now having our

official premiere and having the film and film festivals and hearing people's reactions, it really does like warm our hearts so much because, you know, this was just like a little idea we had over covid and something we thought the world really needed. and i think throughout seeing people's impact and what they've really said about the film, it it just like warms my heart. i don't i am like almost speechless sometimes. but yeah, you guys continue to inspire steve. >> so where where can people see it? how where does it go from here? what's kind of happening next. >> yeah. so as samantha said, we're going to premiere the film for mental health awareness month, if anyone wants to see the film, they can reach out to z cares films. org and we've got we've got mechanisms for them to reach out and set up. time to, to set up a screening, we are working on a very formal way to distribute the film. but again, you know, being new to all of this, we're still learning our way. but if they reach out to our website, we're happy to work with anyone to make this film

available. >> that sounds awesome. well, you guys should go on walks more often because huge ideas happen on your walks and amazing things. and as always, appreciate the conversation and appreciate the changes that you guys continue to make. >> thank you so much. >> all right. amazing family. continue to inspire. they've been in studio before. they have a great evening planned at the exploratorium tonight for a special screening and discussion. i'm going to be moderating that discussion tonight. looking forward to it. and really such a hopeful and wonderful family. yeah. >> mental health. it's so important. very good. all right. well, a new study says spending time outdoors can boost physical health and your mental well-being. they took a walk. how about that? all right. researchers found that just getting out and about 67 minutes in nature can put you in a better mood while decreasing anxiety levels and reducing stress. they say natural sunlight, green spaces like parks have been around bodies of water like oceans, rivers and lakes all have overall health

benefits, and we want to know how much time you are spending outdoors. it's our question of the day. and here are your choices. right here you have the options to choose from 15 to 30 minutes a day, 30 to 60 minutes a day, or 60 or more. you can head over to ktvu.com/vote and weigh in. i think an hour plus is vital every day. it's great to get outside. >> it's hard to make that time for a lot of people, you know, like if you if you're working all day, yeah, you get home and summer nights make it a little easier. roberta. so these are funny questions because i'm like, i know what the answer should be. i know the answer might be, yeah, the answer should be 60 or more, but a nice long walk. you don't have to go out and do a whole bunch, but just get out there. it really does make a difference in how many times you stuck in the newsroom and you go out and go, oh my god, it's raining. >> you had no idea. >> yeah, right. but right now, during the spring months, i particularly believe that early morning and the early evening

hours are the best for allergies. but a lot of people will be out in the elements tomorrow for bay to breakers, mostly cloudy skies to kick off or step off that race at 54 degrees when it ends at the ocean, it will be partly sunny. it'll be clearing nicely, but still rather cool and a bit on the breezy side. done. this race at least a dozen times, either running it or reporting on it. dress in layers. that is my advice and you'll have the hydration at the water. stop so don't worry about that. meanwhile, we have that allergy report coming up, but i wanted you to take a good look at this, provided by doug mickelson and our tiktok department. that's our technical operations center. he does pick up these beautiful views for us. this is the layer of clouds. it's just parked up against monument peak in the santa clara valley, where the top of the clouds are roughly about 1200 feet. at this hour, the bottom layer is about 600ft. it is obscure and visibility at the coast to under ten miles. same in the santa rosa area

again. right now our temperatures are into the 50s across the board because the clouds keep a cap on things. the winds are breezy in fairfield and travis as it is every morning at this hour. up to 21 gusts to 29. half moon bay's picking up a gusty wind right now. at 21mph. it will be a breezy day as a trough passes through the bay area. at the surface, it does mix around the pollen count, and we do have the tree count on the medium to high side right now as far as the oak and the olive trees are concerned, even the walnut tree count is on the medium to high side and that's out towards bethel island. so we do have a clear slot over mendocino and humboldt county at this hour. but this trough to the north of us is now breezing through the bay area mix up that marine layer earlier today than yesterday. so by the afternoon, just about everybody in the sunshine except riding on the sunset district, passing through half moon bay all the way to carmel by the sea, santa cruz, you remain cloudy overnight and then you clear out earlier for

your sunday. everybody basking in sunshine. so today is going to be slightly warmer than yesterday. san jose was the warm spot yesterday at 76, today 77, but i'm going with a warmer number in our inland areas due to the lack of cloud cover. antioch is 78 degrees, ten degrees cooler than that in oakland, low 60s and pacifica. if you're heading to the ballpark, why not kyle harrison on the bump for the good guys. he was born in san jose. he graduated from de la sal. let's cheer him on 61 degrees. but again, you know the drill. dress and layers a pretty day and warmer on your sunday. the warmest day coming up will be on tuesday day in the mid 80s. gang that almost sounds hot. >> all right. looking forward to. thanks, roberta. well, it's called a lineman rodeo. more than competition in the east bay today. it will have pga crews from across the state showcasin their skills

my late father-in-law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like: hazy or blurred vision, so it's hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge.

if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com

skills of being able to safely work on those utility poles. line workers are going to participate in the annual lineman rodeo at pga training facility in livermore. workers from throughout the state are going to come together, and there will be various competitions. they got a pole climb, as you can see there on your screen. they also have simulations on how to rescue a hurt worker. the utility and the line workers union say these kinds of events help workers

sharpen their skills and ensure they can do their job safely. >> section of highway one, damaged by storms earlier this spring, is now back open, as ktvu mark sayer shows us. the reopening is a big boost for businesses in nearby communities. >> in the early morning fog, caltrans switched on a traffic signal that will allow both north and southbound traffic on highway one to share a single lane. this is only a temporary fix until the complete highway can be rebuilt, but it does now allow for 24 hour travel in both directions. the highway was closed on march 30th after what is called a slip out destroyed the southbound lane, forcing caltrans to escort residents in convoys two times per day to the business community and to the employees that work for the businesses. >> a tremendous change. it's really important, kirk garfield is the president of the big sur chamber of commerce. >> we've had seven weeks with effectively no business to speak of at all in the community. >> so we've had probably 90% of our employees collectively have

either been furloughed or are working at very reduced hours to get this single lane of traffic open before the critical memorial day weekend. >> caltrans has been working in two shifts. crews have actually been hoisted over the ocean by cranes, allowing them to work on the damaged section of the roadway, and we were able to drill 40 vertical and 75 horizontal bars in here, which really act as a grid to stabilize that southbound lane. >> we love our local community down here. >> colin touhig is the general manager of the big sur river inn. he says the community really pulled together during the closure, his restaurant even providing hot meals to the local elementary school. when prepared meals could not be brought in. >> so three days a week our chef cooked up school lunches for the captain cooper kids. and we did that, about 4 or 5 weeks. >> businesses say they are already getting calls for reservations. >> i think it's amazing. it's beautiful. >> rupali is exactly the kind of visitor this community likes to

see. bringing his family from out of state to see the coast. >> so we're actually from michigan. i moved here recently to la for work and so they visited just to see more of like the area and highway one to the south of big sur is expected to be reopened in the fall, with the complete repair to the northern section set for next year. >> i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news in the north bay, eastbound lanes of highway 37 between sonoma and solano counties is closed over the weekend. >> parts of the highway shut down overnight for crews to begin repaving the road. caltrans says traffic will be detoured at the highway 121 interchange. the closure is expected to last through early monday morning. >> well, another repaving project will close down parts of interstate 680 in the east bay. caltrans says there will be three southbound lanes that are going to be closed between acosta boulevard and san ramon, and the interstate 580 connector in pleasanton. drivers are being advised to take alternate routes

to minimize traffic congestion within that work zone. >> up next, the race for san francisco mayor heating up. and now you'll have to wait a bit longer to see all the mayoral candidates on stage and he will spend decades behind bars. >> the man convicted of attacking nancy pelosi's husband inside their san francisco home learns his

on campus with what led to a sudden retirement yesterday. following days of controversy. >> it hurts because it's my life, my whole life has been the hot rod cars, my since i was 14 years old and an oakland man heartbroken by the theft of his beloved 59 corvette from the 1950s. >> of course, his desperate pleas to have the priceless antique returned back home from ktvu. >> fox two news this is mornings on two. >> good morning, bay area. good to have you with us. on a typical kind of may day, we got some grayness out there, a few clouds hovering over the bay, but it's going to warm up and it looks like a nice week to get out and about. if you can do a

little cloud cover. welcome back to ktvu mornings on two. it is 731. good to have you on board. i'm frank mallicoat and i'm claudine wong. >> let's talk about our weather. we've got lots of things happening this weekend. next weekend, tomorrow is bay to breakers i think. cloud cover. that's perfect. running weather if it stays like that tomorrow morning. >> excellent running weather. in fact, in the month of july, san francisco is the only city in the country that could host a marathon in the month of july because of the great conditions. right. and the cool skies, it's actually our coolest month of the year. but there are lots of big time doings going on in the bay area. i was going to say there is there are lots of big activity days, including the yacht ville festival. it's a sip and stroll festival. it starts off at 67 degrees at lunchtime and at 4 p.m. lots of sunshine at 76 degrees. all these clouds are going to mix out a lot sooner today than in recent days, due to a weak trough passing through the bay area,

but right now it's may gray, keeping a lid on the temperatures into the 50s. later today with the abundance of sunshine. 61 degrees in pacifica , staying cloudy in half moon bay, and at moss beach in the high 50s. otherwise 76 degrees in concord, mid 70s to the south and right around the peninsula. redwood shores at 74 degrees. your full forecast moments away, but right now here's frank. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit. thank you very much, roberta. more than 2000 students will graduate from sonoma state university today. the university president set to confer degrees at each ceremony, but he announced his retirement suddenly yesterday, one day after he was put on leave over allegations of insubordination for his handling of student protests there on campus. ktvu is amanda quintana is on the sonoma state campus with what led up to mike lee's retirement, amanda, good morning. >> yeah. good morning. so this all started when mike lee put out a school wide announcement saying that he had come to an

agreement with some of the pro-palestine student protesters that have been here in an encampment on campus. now, he later said that he made a mistake by sending that out, and he said that he was doing that without the proper approvals. of course, today he will not be at this ceremony. today, there will be a replacement, though we are starting to see graduates gather. they can go into the building here in about 30 minutes. but i want to talk about some of the agreements that they included disclosing university investments to a pro-palestinian student advisory council and promising an academic boycott of educational programs connected to israel. he also called for a cease fire in gaza and said he condemned all acts of genocide, racism and anti-semitism. excuse me? lee was placed on leave by the csu chancellor for, quote, insubordination. she said his message was challenging and painful. and then the next day

she announced his retirement. eight other universities across the country have come to agreements with students to end campus encampments. there had been an encampment here at sonoma state since late april, but when we were here on thursday, it was already gone. another protest, though, could pop up now. as for these ceremonies, there will be a replacement doctor nathan evans is the acting president. i just spoke to the public information officer here. he says that really their focus is on today and making sure that students get to enjoy these ceremonies today so that doctor nathan evans will join the provost today in conferring the degrees at the ceremonies. there will be three ceremonies that begin here at 9:00, and then two more at 1:00 and two more at 5:00. but we'll be talking to some of the graduates about what a big deal today is. it's a very exciting day for them, but also all of the news of the last week, that

last announcement from the former president and then now having a acting president give them their degree. so it's a big day here for these students at sonoma state, live at sonoma state. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news amanda, thank you. >> a very busy week up in the north bay at that campus. all right. well, a dozen pro-palestinian protesters now facing burglary, vandalism and conspiracy charges in berkeley. police say they were among a large group of demonstrators took over a vacant building here owned by the university near the cal campus this past week. uc berkeley police in riot gear, along with officers from 20 other local law enforcement agencies, were all called in to remove their encampment late thursday night. some of the cal students question if this strong police response was really necessary. >> i don't think that police action among younger students, or just people of any sort, is necessary during demonstration of activism.

>> people are taking this time and platform to speak up for their values, and that's something that berkeley prides itself on. so you know, i'm here to support it. >> however, uc berkeley says only one person of the dozen taken into custody have been confirmed to be a cal student, and some neighbors said they do not. they do not. rather approve of people outside the community coming on to campus property. >> an 80 year old man in oakland says he is devastated. last month, his 1959 red corvette was stolen from his home. ktvu henry lee spoke with the victim's, who says the victim, who says that car has been a big part of his life. >> there's no consequences in this city. people can steal and rob dave, like taylor, has been robbed of his pride and joy. >> his bright red 1959 corvette that he's had for 18 years. oh god, it's like a stab in the heart, he turns 80 on saturday, but he doesn't feel much like celebrating. surveillance video shows two guys breaking into a

garage near east 22nd street and fifth avenue in oakland on april 15th. one of them scoots into the garage and the door shuts. less than three minutes later, one of the burglars opens the door and runs off as the other guy pulls out of the garage. in the corvette. he eases out onto the street. here, the corvette rolls back a bit and hits the curb because it's on an incline. >> so they knew how to drive the car because it was a stick and they just went right out. >> like taylor hasn't seen his $200,000 car ever since. >> it hurts. it's because it's my life. my whole life has been the hot rod cars my since i was 14 years old. >> he's the ultimate car and racing enthusiast. his apartment's full of memories and photos from his racing days. this is like taylor in the red jacket when he bought the corvette back in 2006, he gave the convertible all his love. he rebuilt the engine, repainted the car re-upholstered it, restored the car factory be perfect only to be ripped off. he thinks he could have been

followed from a car show in pleasanton with scofflaws learning where he keeps his car and simply returning in broad daylight to make off with it. at this undisclosed location. like taylor keeps this 1932 ford roadster he calls hi-boy next to a harley named fat boy, building little model cars back in the days we'd build little models. >> here's pictures of me racing. here's a picture of me right there. this is you here. >> yeah, he may be older now, and his corvette's insured, but he has only one message for the thieves. >> i want my car back. >> oakland police are on the lookout for this corvette. but if you happen to see it on the streets or perhaps stashed somewhere, give police a call in oakland. henry lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, the man who attacked congresswoman nancy pelosi's husband with a hammer is going to spend the next 30 years in prison. david depape was handed his sentence in san francisco's

airport at 14 mile per hour winds. the wind does usher around the pollen, but also when there's a lack of a wind, that pollen just sits on top of us. bottom line is it is allergy season, and you could blame it on the oak and the olive tree count that is on the medium to high side. walnut trees come into play in the bethel island area. so here's our storm tracker. and you see that we have the clouds hanging tight to the coast. your monterey bay carmel by the sea, interop, point conception in santa barbara and all the way into southern california trough passing through the bay area is going to mix up that marine layer. earlier which reveals sunny skies earlier. so to bump up those temperatures by a couple of degrees today, pinpoint your neighborhood. first off, futurecast illustrates clouds hang tight to belmont and burlingame, la. honda and colma all the way into the coast, but then reveal some sunshine. we will have the clouds filter back in, but not as ominous tonight. overnight and a sunshiny day means warmer

arrive, they're going to be able to go into the building soon. all of their family and friends coming here to congratulate them. so this is after mike lee made a school wide announcement on tuesday, saying that he had come to an agreement with pro-palestinian student protesters. and then he later said he'd made a mistake by doing that without the proper approvals. now, some of the agreements included disclosing university investments to a pro-palestinian student advisory council and promising an academic boycott of educational programs connected to israel. he also called for a cease fire in gaza and said he condemned all acts of genocide, racism and anti-semitism. lee was placed on leave by the csu chancellor for, quote, insubordination when she said his message was challenging and painful, and then the next day she announced his retirement . other universities across the country have come to agreements with students to end campus encampments. there had been an encampment here at sonoma state

since late april, but when we were here on thursday, it was gone. and that was right after those agreements were made. but of course, talking to students today, they say there could be another big protest that pops up today. now there will be a report placement for the president. there is an active president, doctor nathan evans, so he will be handing out some of those diplomas today. i'm told by the university, a representative for the university that they're really just focusing on the ceremonies today. they want to make sure that students get to celebrate this big accomplishment. it's not kind of overshadowed by that other news. so there are multiple ceremonies that start here at nine. there's ceremonies at 1:00 and at 5:00. but again, you know, students kind of conflicted about what has happened this last week and going into this ceremony, knowing that the former president will not be here live at sonoma state. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> yeah, we can't forget that this is 2020 for this class. and

so they miss their high school graduations because of the pandemic. so we wish them the best today. thank you amanda. well a dozen pro-palestinian protesters are now facing burglary, vandalism and conspiracy charges in berkeley. police say they were among a large group of demonstrators who took over a vacant building owned by the university near the cal campus this week. uc berkeley police in riot gear, along with officers from 20 other local law enforcement agencies, were called in to remove their encampment on channing way late thursday night. >> what happened at anna head was from the very beginning, a criminal act. they broke into a building. they vandalized the building. they trespassed on university property. >> uc berkeley says only one person among the 12 people taken into custody has been confirmed to be a cal student. >> happening today. the mayor of san francisco, london breed, will officially kick off her campaign for reelection. breed will appear at the fillmore auditorium on geary at 10:00 this morning. her office says

this campaign event will include several musical acts and a number of local celebrities, including the former public address announcer for the giants. she will go to bat for mayor breed renel brooks-moon is among the scheduled speakers at this morning's event at the fillmore. >> well, the mayor's plan to bring two giant pandas to the san francisco zoo is getting some pushback from city leaders. the board of supervisors voted to postpone a request made by the mayor to fundraise $25 million to host those pandas once they were brought in from china. that money would go to address some of the zoo's infrastructure needs. supervisor asha sapphire, who is hoping to unseat the mayor this fall, says the pandas are a distraction from the city's more pressing issues. >> this is about prioritizing our future. this is about prioritizing our children over pandas. and if we can rally to fund a home for pandas, we certainly can rally to raise money for essential programs that impact every single corner of this city. yes city leaders suggest the mayor should be

raising funds for the department of children, youth and their families. >> instead, the mayor's office said it would support waivers for both endeavors. >> contra costa county office of education has reached a tentative agreement with teachers who threaten to strike. that two year agreement gives teachers with the contra costa county school educators association union a 6% retroactive raise dating back to july of last year. they'll also get a 1% raise that kicks off on july the 1st. an agreement provision allows salaries to be renegotiated if the cost of living adjustment exceeds 2. bargaining unit members must now vote to ratify that new agreement. former workers from the radisson hotel in oakland. they are demanding payment for more than $400,000. they say they weren't paid. they spoke out in front of the oakland airport hotel this week. workers lodging the complaints. four years ago and last october, the city did determine the hotel engaged in wage theft, withholding money from 128 of

its workers. but nearly six months later, the workers say they haven't seen a cent. >> the city attorney's office needs to file a lawsuit to force the radisson to pay these workers, and the department of workplace and employment standards should impose a penalty on the radisson for each day that they have delayed since the city told them that they owed all this money. >> the case is considered oakland's largest wage theft case in recent city history. la county sheriff's office says a man remains in the hospital after running naked on a city street and then being struck by a car. the entire thing, of course, caught on camera like most. and take a look here. this happened thursday in the community of ladera heights. it's about 12 miles west of downtown la. look at that video shows the man hopping over a fence, darting into the street. he manages to dodge one car and then flips over the hood of another car, but he got back up

and started running again. several neighbors witnessed the bizarre incident. >> it's i don't know, it's just speechless because you just you never expect to see a naked man running in front of you, like during your day, i guess not. >> well, the family of the man hit by the car says he was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time. at last check, he was listed in stable condition inside a hospital. happening today. the city of benicia will pay its latest tribute to a hometown hero of world war two. the city will unveil a new monument in eunice jensen park in downtown benicia, honoring this man. 97 year-old harold bray. he's a retired benicia police officer and the last survivor of the attack on the uss indianapolis. in july of 1945, more than 300 american crew members were killed after a japanese navy submarine torpedoed that us battleship bray was only 17 years of age

is the oldest chinatown in the united states. it is also one of the city's top tourist attractions, but the historic san francisco neighborhood has changed drastically since the covid 19 pandemic four years later. chinatown is continuing to look for new ways to revive itself and restore economic stability. joining us now to talk about the current economic climate, the plans to rebound. we have nancy lau from the chinatown history and cultural association. nancy, so good to talk to you. we always enjoy having you here. >> thank you for having us here today. >> so what i appreciate you and i have talked a lot about different events and businesses and chinatown has been ready for a long time now to say, come back, get crowded, get busy, and really has been thinking of new ways to do that. what is really the situation for business

owners and, you know, and the economy within san francisco's chinatown neighborhood? >> yeah. so the business is coming back. we open for business. all chinatown merchants are ready for welcoming customers and visitors. but unfortunately, it's not enough to bring up the economy up to pay up all the costs that we have. so we what we are thinking. the whole community needs, needs, event needs events to bring people in, bring visitors who haven't been to chinatown to visit and to stay, of course, to shop and dine and enjoy the time in chinatown. >> and i think these big events, i mean, we know with the chinese new year parade every year, it brings a lot of people in. it's nice for people. and the message was always calm for this one event. stay find your favorite restaurants. find your favorite businesses. you have a couple of businesses in chinatown, and i always go visit you and we when we come in there as well. what does it mean, like these big events? i know you're planning this festival. that's next

weekend, but we're looking at video from the parade. how much does that help in impact? >> oh, it helped a lot. we have new visitors say, oh, this is the first time i come to chinatown and i love it. i have memory, i want to bring my friends to come back and visit. so we want chinatown to open for everyone besides the food, the tourist place that you visit or the boba shop that you want to go. we also want to bring people with a memory. so next week we're going to have a cultural festival event. so we want people to come to stay and to learn and to share what we have. chinatown, you already mentioned, is the oldest chinatown. we are the root of american chinese, and we've been there since 1848. and we have a lot of treasure undiscovered. so hopefully next week we're going to open to the public. people visit and we discover chinatown because i think there's a lot for people to learn in, you know, i know you have the herbal medicine museum there and places for people where i think, you know, you talk about memories. >> i have so many memories of

growing up and in san francisco and having family in chinatown. but i think the cultures and traditions, i feel like you find a lot of people who are going, okay, i love this. what does this mean? and that's part of this festival, a first ever of its kind, especially during aapi heritage month. that can be so important. yes. >> so we in chinatown actually have many exhibition hall or museum was not very popularized to the public. but at that day we're going to open all this hall for people to visit at no charge. we're going to open the chinese railroad workers center, the world war pacific memorial hall. we're going to open a victory hall. we're going to have a presentations. tyson film over there, open and of course, the chsa, the historic society, a bruce lee museum is also open. so besides the fear that people can visit and learn what we have offered on the fair, all the places are open for free and

with presentations. >> well, and i think these are places that even people who are from san francisco or have lived in the bay area their whole lives might be like, i did not realize this was here. >> yeah. so especially you mentioned about the exhibition hall is one of the one of the first ones that we have in this country. and at that day we're going to have free consultations. we're going to have a medical chinese herbal medicine panel discussions. and we also have on on the block of 800 block, we're going to have about 30 chinese medical doctors. they're going to help you to do free consultations. interesting. >> and i think it's so important for people to remember, this is, again, a message that we heard right after the pandemic, but one that i think still holds true to a lot of neighborhoods that if you want it to stay, if you value it. and i think so many people do, you have to visit, you have to patronize these businesses. i mean, there are several that i grew up with that are no longer there. yeah. >> so it is important for people not just stay in chinatown for sightseeing. we want them to

stay and to learn, and we want to share our culture with them. we are so much history that we can share and learn together. and at that day on may 25th, it's a perfect time for you to come over here and to learn, because we have professionals, we have, people from experts to explain the panel, and it's going to be a lot of fun. so we open to the public a lot of fun, a lot of fun food history learning. >> and we're going to give you a sneak peek. nancy's not going anywhere because this is kind of amazing because there's always so much, you know, entertainment that's included in the in these celebrations. and next saturday will be no different. so coming up a little later this morning, we're going to give you an exclusive sneak peek into some of the entertainment that you will see. this again is going to be the first ever cultural festival in the heart of san francisco's chinatown. we can't wait. thanks so much for coming in. thank you. and don't go anywhere. roberta she's not going anywhere because, we're really excited for what's coming up here on mornings on two. >> oh, i'm very excited. i love

stand with president mike lee, with what happened, recently with him being asked to leave, i think that the basis of activism comes from using a position of power, even at risk of your position. and so i think it's some really cool things are happening on campus here. >> it's been tough to, you know, go through, especially going with graduation and having all this going on, even coming was a decision to, actually attend. so it was it was a hard decision. so great. >> other universities across the country have come to agreements with students to end campus encampments. now, there had been an encampment here at sonoma state since late april. but when we were here thursday morning, it was all gone after those agreements were announced. but students tell me another protest could pop up today and as for the ceremonies, the acting president, that's doctor nathan evans, will step in for lee, a university spokesperson tells me

that they're just focused on making sure these graduates and their families get to enjoy this ceremony and get to celebrate this big moment for them. so there are three ceremonies that are going to start right now at 9:00. there's also ceremonies at 1:00 and 5:00. so it is going to be a busy day here on campus, live at sonoma state. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news okay. >> thank you, amanda. well, a dozen pro-palestinian protesters are now facing burglary, vandalism and conspiracy charges in berkeley. police say they were among a large group of demonstrators who took over a vacant building owned by the university near the cal campus this week. uc berkeley police in riot gear, along with officers from 20 other local law enforcement agencies, were called in to remove that encampment from channing way late thursday night. >> what happened at anna head was, from the very beginning, a criminal act. they broke into a building, they vandalized the building. they trespassed on university property.

>> uc berkeley says only one person among the 12 people taken into custody has been confirmed to be a cal student. >> 905 your time happening today, the mayor of san francisco, london breed, will officially kick off her campaign for reelection. breed will appear at the fillmore auditorium on gary in a little less than an hour. now at 10:00. her office says this campaign event will include several musical acts and a number of local celebrities as well. the former public address announcer for the giants will also be going to bat for mayor breed. renel brooks-moon is among the scheduled speakers at this morning's event that will kick off at the fillmore at ten. >> well, the mayor's plan to bring two giant pandas to the san francisco zoo is getting some pushback from city leaders. the board of supervisors voted to postpone a request made by the mayor to fundraise $25 million to host those pandas. once they were brought in from china, that money would go to address some of the zoo's infrastructure needs. well, supervisor asha safai, who is

hoping to unseat the mayor this fall, says the pandas are a distraction from the city's more pressing issues. >> this is about prioritizing our future. this is about prioritizing our children over pandas and if we can rally to fund a home for pandas, we certainly can rally to raise money for essential programs that impact every single corner of this city. yes, city leaders suggest the mayor should be raising funds for the department of children, youth and families. >> instead, the mayor's office said it would support waivers for both endeavors. >> l.a. county sheriff's office says a man remains hospitalized this morning after running naked on a city street and then being struck by a car. and of course, the entire thing caught on camera. and here we go. it happened thursday, community of ladera heights. but a dozen miles west of downtown l.a. video shows the man jumping over a fence, a home darting into the streets, and boom manages to miss one car, but then flies over the hood of another car and they got back up and started

running again. several neighbors witnessed the bizarre accident, it's i don't know, it's just speechless because you just you never expect to see a naked man running in front of you like, during your day. >> probably not. well, the family of the man hit by the car says he was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time. at last check, he is listed in stable condition this morning at a southern california hospital, a section of highway one damaged by storms earlier this spring is now back open as ktvu is. >> mark sayer shows us this reopening is a big boost for businesses in nearby communities . >> in the early morning fog, caltrans switched on a traffic signal that will allow both north and southbound traffic on highway one to share a single lane. this is only a temporary fix until the complete highway can be rebuilt, but it does now allow for 24 hour travel in both directions. the highway was closed on march 30th after what is called a slip out destroyed the southbound lane, forcing caltrans to escort residents in

convoys two times per day to the business community and to the employees that work for the businesses at tremendous change. >> it's really important, kirk garfield is the president of the big sur chamber of commerce. we've had seven weeks with effectively no business to speak of at all in the community. so we've had probably 90% of our employees collectively have either been furloughed or are working at very reduced hours to get this single lane of traffic open before the critical memorial day weekend. >> caltrans has been working in two shifts. crews have actually been hoisted over the ocean by cranes, allowing them to work on the damaged section of the roadway, and we were able to drill 40 vertical and 75 horizontal bars in here, which really act as a grid to stabilize that southbound lane. >> we love our local community down here. >> colin touhig is the general manager of the big sur river inn. he says the community really pulled together during the closure, his restaurant even providing hot meals to the local

elementary school. when prepared meals could not be brought in. >> so three days a week, our chef cooked up school lunches for the captain cooper kids, and we did that, about 4 or 5 weeks. >> businesses say they are already getting calls for reservations. >> i think it's amazing. it's beautiful. >> parwez. rupali is exactly the kind of visitor this community likes to see. bringing his family from out of state to see the coast. >> so we're actually from michigan. i moved here recently to l.a. for work and so they visited just to see more of like the area highway one to the south of big sur is expected to be reopened in the fall, with the complete repair to the northern section set for next year. >> i'm mark sayer, ktvu fox two news. >> well, highway one in big sur, back open, but there are a few other important closures. we got to tell you about around the bay area in the north bay, eastbound lanes of highway 37 between sonoma and solano counties are closed once again this weekend. parts of the highway shut down

overnight. crews are beginning to repaving project there on the road, and it closed last night around 10:00. caltrans says traffic will be detoured on highway 121 interchange. so if you're heading to wine country, do take note the closure expected to last through the entire weekend, and it will reopen early monday morning around 5:00. another repaving project will close down parts of interstate 680 in the east bay. caltrans says three southbound lanes will be shut down us between acosta boulevard and san ramon. interstate 580 connector in pleasanton. it's a heavily traveled road. two lanes will stay open. drivers are being advised to take alternative routes to minimize any traffic congestion within that work zone. the lane closures started last night, expected to also run until early monday morning. let's take a look at the traffic map. see how we're doing at highway 680. as you can see, got a lot of red on the screen, which means it's a slow go right

now from acosta all the way to that interchange with the 580. so, if you're heading that way, if you can find a better route. highly recommended. all weekend long. >> okay. time now is 911, and let's take you outside to the front of our station, where you can see lots of folks gathering. you're going to be looking at tai chi, kung fu, and other performances. they've come to give us a little sneak peek outside of our ktvu studios. this is a sneak peek into san francisco's first ever cultural festival. it's happening a week from today, and we'll have that for you next. >> braided the diversity, the better the department. well and also a closer look at the san jose fire department special boot camp aimed at recruiting a diverse, diverse group of first responders. >> it's all coming up. >> and let's head on over to oakland right now where we have a bank of cloudiness, the

they'll also have some simulations about how to rescue a hurt worker. the utility and the line workers union say these kinds of events help workers sharpen their skills and ensure they can do their job safely. >> also happening today, san jose fire department hosting its fifth annual women's boot camp for nearly 100 women. and as ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary tells us, it's a way to recruit more women, including non-binary and trans women, to professions that have long been dominated by men. >> san jose firefighter stephanie sirrine is a metaphorical island at fire station 14, serving in a sea of men. she joined the department over a decade ago as a wide eyed teenager drawn to this type of work. >> i had no idea what the job entailed. one of my friends had mentioned there was an explorer program. i decided to join that and it became something that i was very passionate about, hoping to spark a similar passion in other women. >> the san jose fire department

saturday hosts fifth annual women's boot camp. the one day event is open to women, including those non-binary, gender nonconforming and trans women in the community. the greater the diversity, the better the department. >> you know, it's like the high tech industry understands that and i am so happy that the government is beginning to really get into it. >> 75 women ages 18 to 24 are already signed up. officials say that represents an increase of one third over last year. attendees will be put through the rigors of an academy like obstacle course to better learn what it's like to be a firefighter. >> we have our sledgehammers. we have our hose pool hoists, working on grip and strength that just kind of giving women that encouragement that they can do it. >> san jose fire isn't alone in looking to lure more women into its workforce. march san jose police officials signing the 30 by 30 pledge to increase women recruits by 30% by 2030. police

women currently make up 13% of the force, but only 3.7% of the 648 firefighters are female. >> one of the things that i'm very interested in is trying to bring talent to the city of san jose. i think that we bring sort of a different perspective on different situations, and i think that it would really enhance the department's. >> stephanie sorini says living her dream allows her to help other women explore options once only thought of as a man's domain. >> being a female and just being that presence out in the community, whether we have schools come in and just being that female figure and showing, you know, all ages that we are out there and we can do it in west san jose. >> jesse, gary, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. now to our question of the day. we are

>> this has been a tumultuous week. that announcement came a day after he was put on leave over allegations of insubordination for his handling of student protests. let's go live to ktvu. is amanda quintana , who is live on campus this morning with what led to mike lee's retirement. and amanda, we say it a lot with this college class of 2024. they missed out on their high school graduations because of the pandemic. so this is the first time a lot of them will have a formal ceremony. and for the sonoma state students, it comes amid controversy and a lot of changes for them. >> right. and a really hectic last week, a lot of drama kind of surrounding all of this for their final week before graduation. so some students were saying, you know, i was just focused on graduating this week. that was the only thing i was thinking about. some people said, you know, they were conflicted about whether they would even come to this graduation ceremony because of everything that has happened this past week. of course, this is after mike lee he sent out. that's the president. he sent out an announcement on tuesday saying that he had come to an agreement with pro-palestinian

student protesters. of course, he will not be here today. he is now the former president. but now, after he sent out that list of agreements, he later said he'd made a mistake by doing that without the proper approval. so some of those agreements included disclosing university investments to a pro-palestinian student advisory council, and then also promising an academic boycott of any educational programs connected to israel. so he also called for a cease fire in gaza and said he condemned all acts of genocide, racism and anti-semitism. lee was placed on leave by the csu chancellor for, quote, insubordinate action, and she said that his message was challenging and painful. then the next day, she announced his retirement. so graduates have varying opinions on everything that has happened this past week . >> there are some things that i think the president could have done better, that the organizers of the encampment probably could

have done better in their demands. they're not critically thinking about, you know, what is actually a helpful demand when we're talking about discourse and stuff, because that seems like where mike lee got caught up. >> i absolutely support and stand with president mike lee, with what happened recently with him being asked to leave, i think that the basis of activism comes from using a position of power, even at risk of your position. and so i think it's some really cool things are happening on campus here. >> other universities across the country have come to agreements with students to end campus encampments. there had been a encampment here at sonoma state since late april, but when we were here thursday morning, it was gone. after those agreements were released. now, students tell me another protest could pop up today, though, as for the ceremonies that are happening, the acting president doctor nathan evans, is stepping in. a university spokesperson tells me

that they're just focused on making sure that the graduates and their families get to enjoy all of the ceremonies today, there's three ceremonies that are going on right now, and then at 1:00 there's two more, and then at 5:00 there are more ceremonies. so it's a really busy day on campus here, and we have yet to see any kind of protest. but some students say they do think that that will happen here today. live at sonoma state. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you. a dozen pro-palestinian protesters, meanwhile, are now facing burglary, vandalism and conspiracy charges in berkeley. police say they were among a large group of demonstrators took over this vacant building owned by the university near the cal campus this past week. uc berkeley police all in riot gear along with officers from 20 other local law enforcement agencies, were all called in to remove their encampment. that happened late thursday night. some of the cal students, though, question if this strong police response was really necessary. i don't think that police action among younger

students or just people of any sort, is necessary during demonstration of activism. >> people are taking this time and platform to speak up for their values, and that's something that berkeley prides itself on. so, you know, i'm here to support it. >> however, uc berkeley says only one person of the 12 people taken into custody has been confirmed to be a cal student, and some neighbors said they do not approve of people outside the community coming onto campus property. well, the man who attacked congresswoman nancy pelosi's husband with a hammer will spend the next 30 years in prison. david depape was handed his sentence in san francisco federal court yesterday afternoon inside that courtroom, christine pelosi, the daughter of nancy and paul pelosi, read statements from both parents describing the impact the 2022 attack had on their family. depapes attorney asked the judge. for 14 years, prosecutors wanted 40. judge said to pap didn't express remorse for his

actions and also considered the impact the attack will have on discouraging future politicians from entering public service. the brutal attack on paul pelosi in his home was not only an attack on an individual, but an assault on the very principles and safety and civility that formed the bedrock of our democracy. >> the court's sentence will ensure that the pope will not be able to use violence to pollute the political process. >> depape, still facing a criminal trial in san francisco superior court that will happen next week if he's convicted there, his state sentence will run concurrently with his federal sentence. happening today, the mayor of san francisco, london breed, will officially kick off her campaign for reelection. breed will appear at the fillmore auditorium on geary boulevard at 10:00. so just about 20 plus minutes away. her office says campaign event will include several musical acts, a number of local celebrities, two former

public address announcer for the giants will also be going to bat for mayor breed renel brooks-moon. among the scheduled speakers at this morning's event in the fillmore san francisco mayoral debate that was planned to happen next monday has been canceled. the announcement comes after three of the candidates pulled out of the event. supervisor aaron peskin, philanthropist daniel lurie and mayor london breed all withdrew participation from the debate, according to a report in the chronicle. mayor breed and supervisor peskin dropped out of the event over concerns that the event organizers are closely tied to another candidate in the race. in the east bay contra costa county fair in antioch is back open for the weekend, and people attending this year's fair are reacting to a new chaperon policy. anyone under the age of 18 required to come in with an adult that is 25 years or older. it's a new policy. after a brawl between

the 60 or more minutes seems to be leading the charge, which i think that's what we all, we all like. just head to ktvu .com/ vote so you can weigh in as well. >> yeah. good hour a day. keeps the doctor away that's for sure. yeah. feel better. >> you know it makes you feel better. and i think that's the goal roberta, as we're talking about kind of how much time we want to spend outside the more is better. >> how much our allergies will allow us to spend outside. >> yeah. people are sniffly right now. >> yeah. yesterday i was doing some gardening, and i just wore a mask and i said that was the best thing about the pandemic, having that mask. and i had no allergies during that time. >> no. it helped the pollen count coming in. >> it's crazy this year, right? >> i feel like once you start sneezing, oh, you just can't stop. >> that's it. and today is going to be no different with the olive and the oak tree. count on the high side. frank is passing the kleenex right now. we're going to be on either side of 70 degrees to 80 degrees for the next several days, with tuesday panning out to be the warmest day coming up. it is may gray, but partying out earlier the

next couple of days all right, that looks good. it does look good. >> good what? there monday. tuesday. >> very seasonal. very seasonal. >> take it. >> almost like the summer doldrums here during the spring time. >> well may gray june gloom. we get it all too. so even though we'll take the sun we can get it. because sometimes, sometimes it doesn't stick around for enough time or it's too hot. well, that's coming too. yeah, that's coming to all right. that's going to do it for us this morning. we appreciate you waking up with us here on mornings on two. and don't forget you can watch the live newscast and stories on our fox local app, which is always on your smart tv and have fun tomorrow i was going to say good luck at the bay to breakers. thank you with your 30,000 best friends and we'll see you tomorrow morning folks. >> h e a eat (uplifting music)
