ride across the bay, but i see it's closed. but at least there's an alternative service. so that's something i guess. >> it's still unclear when the ships will resume their back and forth routes across the bay. the golden gate ferry service said on friday that the vessels on that route, which both daily commuters and tourists rely on, will be out of commission indefinitely. we will let you know as soon as that service is restored. but in the meantime, be sure to look out for those bus bridges parked right in front of the terminal this morning. and as an alternative, commuters can also take the larkspur ferry if they don't want to take the bus live in sausalito. lena howland abc seven news lena. >> thank you. charges are pending for a man accused of stabbing a parishioner outside of a well-known catholic church in san francisco. the attack happened right after sunday service in front of saints peter and paul catholic church in north beach. witnesses say a man who's believed to be unhoused interrupted mass. then he was

begins in new york city. for the first time in history, prosecutors will present a criminal case against a former american president. amanda, what can we expect, reggie? >> opening statements in donald trump's hush money trial are set for this morning in a manhattan courtroom. then the first witness will be called. trump is accused of falsifying business records to keep claims of an alleged affair with star stormy daniels from damaging his 2016 campaign. prosecutors have not said publicly who their first witness will be, but daniels is expected to testify. we may also hear from former tabloid publisher david pecker, who prosecutors say helped find and suppress negative stories about trump. michael cohen is also expected to take the stand. he is trump's former attorney who already went to federal prison for his role in the hush money matter. trump has denied all allegations and says the trial is politically motivated. his allies have echoed those claims. >> i'm hoping that this judge makes the right decision. i'm hoping these jurors can come in and be unbiased and will will

let this case go forward in a swift manner that allows president trump to get back on the campaign trail. >> this trial is expected to last six weeks, with court in session four days per week. trump will not be able to campaign during the trial. he faces up to four years in prison if convicted, but a conviction would not prevent him from becoming president again. back to you. kumasi >> thanks, amanda. good news for drivers in the north bay westbound highway 37 reopened ahead of schedule. 21 miles from vallejo to sears point. was closed over the weekend for repaving, and that caused some long delays along the detour route. caltrans says it used nearly 5000 tons of asphalt and more than 300 trucks. the westbound construction continues this coming weekend. then the eastbound lanes will be closed for the following two weekends. >> a live look outside now at 607. good air quality expected across the bay area today. i mean, you can see how clear it is. the bay area air quality management district coded the

in more than 40 years goes before the u.s. supreme court today. and amanda, the decision could have a major impact on the way. bay area leaders are able to address the crisis that so many cities face. >> kumasi california leaders and homeless advocates are both watching this case closely. argument will center around whether unhoused people can be punished for sleeping outdoors when they have no other options. this fight goes back more than a decade to 2013. that's when the

city of grants pass, oregon, passed an ordinance banning people from sleeping in public spaces because there were no shelters in grants pass, a homeless group sued and won. it argued the ban violated the constitution's eighth amendment, barring cruel and unusual punishment. the case then went to the ninth circuit court of appeals, which is based in san francisco, and won there as well. >> the reality is, the only thing that works is more permanent affordable housing. >> the supreme court is expected to make a ruling by the end of june. that decision will have an impact on how san francisco handles the unhoused. earlier this year, a separate lawsuit over how the city clears encampments was put on hold pending a decision in the grants pass case. back to you, kumasi. >> thanks, amanda. this week, governor newsom is planning to propose legislation to make it easier for people from arizona to get abortions here. it's in response to that state's near total abortion ban. the governor wants to offer abortion

review what pg and e charges us for. the bill failed in committee last week. it's back up for another vote today. waymo robotaxi is now a common sight on san francisco roads, and new data shows us where they are driving the most. so the chronicle crunched the numbers reported to state regulators, and in the first six months of waymo's commercial service, hayes valley, mission bay, south of market, and the mission are the hot spots for the robo taxis. waymo says it gave rides to more than half a million people from september to february, the company told the chronicle. the busiest nights are fridays and saturdays or anytime there's an event at chase center. waymo says some riders are using the robo taxis to get work. get to work every day. >> look at all these people. a colorful procession of drummers, dancers and decorative floats made their way through san francisco's japantown. yesterday marked the end of the norcal cherry blossom festival. >> it shows everyone just all

light showers with that area of low pressure. certainly a lot of cloud cover and temperatures below average for this time of the year. so the accuweather seven day forecast shows you today we have sunny, warm conditions. then tomorrow you'll find cooler weather moving in with a breeze kicking up. and that cooling trend continues for much of the week ahead. by friday, it is mostly cloudy with a chance of showers in the morning, and then we'll find brighter conditions moving back in for saturday and sunday and a little bit of a warming trend as well guys. >> thank you, drew. >> now we're checking in with ginger zee who is live with what's coming up on gma. good morning ginger. >> hey morning kumasi reggie great to be with you. coming up here on gma. we have a lot of headlines to get to of course we'll continue your coverage of the historic donald trump trial. the hush money trial that starts today. we'll tell you everything we know about the case against the former president. and then is it the end of the line for tiktok? well, there's some how surpassing of bills. that said, you better sell it or else we're
