♪♪ captioned by los angeles distribution and broadcasting, inc. thanks to a solar storm. we're getting a spectacular show that is lighting up the night and visible in some spots of the bay area. plus, it's not done yet. good evening and thanks for joining us, everybody. i'm dionne lim. the northern lights are back for another night. and we have seen some spectacular pictures. you're looking at a time lapse taken in maine. and it is just surreal to look at. plus there is more to come. the bay area is contending though, with city lights and fog, but

that did not keep the crowd away from the chabot space and science center. that's where abc7 news reporter anser hassan was tonight. >> the aurora borealis is headlining for a second night over the bay area, and the crowds continue to show up. >> i think it's like magical. and you think about it from when you're a kid. you see pictures of it and you just want to see it for real. i've never seen it for real. and so i thought the opportunity was too awesome to skip. >> scott zimmerman and his family drove up from mountain view for a view from the chabot space and science center up in the hills of oakland, hoping to see the northern lights. >> it's pretty exciting, and it kind of reminds us that, you know, we're part of a much bigger universe and sometimes times the universe kind of talks back to us. >> gerald mckeon is an astronomer at chabot. as he explains, the sun releases ionized gas, those clouds, sometimes bigger than the actual sun, travel out into space. its interaction with the earth's atmosphere produces the lights. >> i did get a chance to see it last night when we looked to the

north. from here at the chabot space and science center, we could see a faint reddish glow in the sky. >> mckeon says the sun is on an 11 year cycle, which means every 10 to 20 years, the northern lights become visible. this far south. >> i've heard my father always say he wanted to see the northern lights, so i had this dream that i would take him there. but it's over here, so i. so it's good that he can see it. >> 14 year old preet pratyusha wants to be an astronomer, so she sees this as a special opportunity. astronomers say saturday night's cloud coverage won't necessarily block the lights, but humidity from the clouds could cause a problem, and the lights are too spread out to be seen using a telescope . >> it's something that's unusual, like you cannot see it anywhere else. it's kind of rare, so i just want to see it, mckeegan says. >> the more intense the geomagnetic storm, the more chances of power outages and disruptions to electronics such as cell phones and tvs. >> as far as i know, we've had none of that happen yet. but stay tuned. >> that's because, mckeegan says sunday night will likely produce the most intense light show

because of a massive gas release headed towards earth in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> all right, so that is promising news. some people were able to see it last night, but the fog we have to contend with. what do you think? do you think we'll see anything? well, the idea it's a little more promising now than i thought it would be six hours ago. >> we have the fog, but not quite so much as you might have feared. here's. here are a couple of live views. this one is from our exploratorium camera. looking back at the part of the skyline of san francisco, you can see the moisture in the air and there is some fog, but it's not so deep or dense as we thought it might be this hour. nonetheless, it will obscure your viewing the quality of your view in just a bit. now here's emeryville. looking over at oakland, you can see lots of fog is developing over in oakland already. in fact, oakland is reporting mostly cloudy skies at the moment, so that's probably not the best place to view. and if you look down onto the bay from mount tam in this view, you see the fog is spreading, getting deeper and more

widespread. so the later it gets after midnight or so, the worse the viewing conditions will be close to the bay and to the coast. but if you go inland just a little bit beyond the east bay hills, viewing conditions should be pretty good. here's how forecast futurecast animation showing the fog spreading and some drizzle just offshore between now and midnight. then after midnight, between midnight and 1 a.m, you see the fog reaching and some of the inland areas. so if you're again beyond the east bay hills are far enough inland to get away from city lights and get into an area, especially a rural area where the skies are darker, you'll your chances of really getting a great view of the northern lights are pretty good. so with that in mind, i invite you to stay tuned for my mother's day forecast coming up a little bit later. and this meal being served here, by the way, does have vegan options. >> thank you for specifying, spencer. we'll look forward to it. well, moving on in the east bay. pomp and protest at today's campus wide commencement ceremony at uc berkeley. the graduation was disrupted by

pro-palestinian protesters who wanted to send a message to the crowd. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard was there and says some graduates and parents were upset by the interruption. >> cal's commencement, honoring nearly 7000 undergraduates began peacefully inside memorial stadium, but minutes later, the occupation has got to go. the ceremony, disrupted by several dozen pro-palestinian protesters shouting from the stands. the protest was so loud the ceremony was delayed at times, speakers forced to wait it out. this wouldn't be ferguson without a protest. >> so i get it. >> some students in the stands displayed the israeli flag. the chants got louder as more pro-palestinian students joined in. some of the demonstrators then walked out of the stadium protesting outside. free, free, free palestine. >> as a berkeley student, we

have a long history of protesting and we did the same for apartheid south africa. it's not any different. in 20 years from now. the university is going to recognize it as that. >> some universities across the country have changed or canceled commencement in the wake of campus encampments protesting israel's war with hamas. but berkeley's graduation went on as planned. chancellor carol christ attempted to speak over the crowd, calling for tolerance and understanding. >> we have lost the ability to talk with one another. i feel passionately that we must work to regain this capacity, whatever our beliefs and perspectives, not everybody in the crowd supported this protest. >> they say it was drowning out their big day. student michaela falzon says she had no high school graduation due to covid, and now her college graduation is being disrupted. >> i can't hear the speakers at all. and you know, we worked

hard for four years. and truly, this is a berkeley degree. we're extremely saddened. i've waited for this day for a very long time to see my son graduate. >> he's the first in our family to do so, and it's really disturbing because i understand their feelings. but it's not the appropriate time or place. >> you know, our son is a he came here to study engineering, not idiocy. >> in a statement, the university said while today's commencement was at times, unfortunately disrupted, it did not prevent us from honoring the hard work and accomplishments of our students. saturday's protest was peaceful. no arrests were made at uc berkeley. cornel bernard, abc seven news the university of san francisco says its commencement is still on for next week, despite campus protests. >> take a stance. >> you must be an urgent man. >> students at usf held a pro-palestinian rally today at

the encampment there. the protesters have similar demands as groups at other schools calling for usf to divest from israel and call the war in gaza a genocide. the student group says usf's president visited the encampment thursday and would not agree to their demands. today, the school told us they're keeping lines of communication with protesters open. cal state east bay held its graduation ceremony today for the college of letters, arts and social sciences. the university has been hosting commencements for various majors since thursday, and so far there have been no disruptions. today, celebrations were held for graduates majoring in arts, languages, literature, and history. cal state east bay will hold two more graduation ceremonies tomorrow for the college of business and economics. and there was a big honor at the cal state east bay commencement for a local trailblazer and legend. 102 year old betty reid. soskin also took the stage to receive an honorary doctorate. she was the oldest

ranger for the national park service, working at the rosie the riveter world war two home front park in richmond until she retired at the age of 100. soskin was also a singer songwriter and civil rights activist. >> in recognition of her exceptional accomplishments and contributions, especially right here in the east bay, the board of trustees of the california state university and the california state university, east bay are proud to confer upon betty reid, soskin, the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters, as it is so deserved, and has lived in the east bay for 90 years. >> a vigil was held today for journalists killed while covering the war in gaza. the ceremony was held in harry bridges plaza in san francisco, and was followed by a procession to rincon park. an estimated 141 journalists and media workers have been killed since the war

broke out on october 7th. journalists are considered protecting. international law as long as they're not taking part in the conflict. neighbors in san francisco are rallying today in support of a man who says he's received not one, but two racist deliveries on his doorstep. we followed this story since the beginning here at abc. seven people gathered in alamo square today to show their love for terry williams. he's lived in the area for years, but last month he told us he found a doll with a noose around its neck at his door along with a piece of paper so covered in slurs we couldn't even show it on tv. last weekend, terry found yet another racist package with threatening language. terry says he is worried about his safety, but seeing so many friends have his back mean so much, it's hoping the neighborhood, it's still like everybody's kid behind people so and they care. >> so i really i'm really happy about that. i'm real happy.

>> yeah. what a turnout. san francisco police say they are investigating both incidents. terry and his neighbors are building a network of security cameras to help keep a closer eye on their area for happening now. parts of highway 37 are closed in the north bay so caltrans crews can make repairs. it shared video earlier today of the construction. the closure is for the eastbound lanes from sears point to vallejo. it's the same stretch that shut down several weekends last month for repaving. you can see the detour there in the green on the map. the road is set to reopen by 5 a.m. on monday. another closure is planned for next weekend to hopefully finish the work. still ahead tonight on abc seven, cecil williams lived an incredible life and now some of it is available to the public. we'll go deep into the archives and glide benefits annually from the famous warren buffett auction, the generous donation that was made by this year's winner. >> what was going through your mind when you received that

appraisal? that was far lower than you expected it to be, and a little later, abc seven news ch julian glover takes another look

before, williams was the long time leader of san francisco's glide memorial church and established a legacy of being a champion for civil rights and helping the poor. his decades of work is now available for viewing at the san francisco public library. abc7 news reporter tara campbell got a look at the impressive archive planning meeting in 85. >> the gloves are on and a legacy is preserved at the san

francisco public library's main branch, one box at a time. 50 to be exact, chronicling the life of civil rights activist reverend cecil williams and his work at glide memorial church. >> we're very excited to have this collection because it documents this major institution that really broke barriers serving vulnerable people in the city. >> decades of documentation detailing glide service in the tenderloin neighborhood and to lgbtq plus communities. oh this one has old pictures. >> these are good ones. >> as well as williams influence on everyone, from world leaders to rock stars. >> it does include sermons from cecil williams. it includes a lot of their sunday celebration programs, photos of a lot of events, and visiting visitors. >> it's like you're walking into, you know, the congressional archives. i mean, you see telegrams from presidents, you see, incredible dialog about incredible civil

rights actions. >> carl robillard is the chief communicator and public affairs officer at glide. >> cecil's history is san francisco's history. he kind of carried a message of the day that i think was so significant not just to glide, but to san francisco and beyond, making sure the reverend's message continues to be carried on. we can't just house this in the fifth floor, in a corner office, in the very back of the building. it needs to be public. people need to see it and feel it and experience it. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> williams memorial service will be held tomorrow at glide. doors open at noon and the ceremony begins at one. we will be streaming it live and you can watch through the abc7 news app. warren buffett's annual auction that helps raise money for the glide foundation, brought in $1.5 million lunch with the famous investor is no longer one of the prizes, but instead, the winner gets to dine with salesforce ceo marc benioff. that fetched just over $200,000.

but the winning bidder also pledged to donate a total of 1.5 million. over the years, the auction has raised $53 million for glide. the 11th annual y for youth community festival was held today in crane cove park, san francisco. ymca leadership joined the mayor and city officials in kicking off the festivities. the fundraiser has traditionally been a luncheon tailored to a limited number of donors, but this year the event planners chose to, quote, break the mold and create a festival filled with games, food and fun for the entire community. the city of san francisco also celebrated the unveiling of its newest public park today. city officials were on hand for the grand opening of panorama park, which sits on top of the yerba buena island. the new public space offers 360 degree views of the city and surrounding bay areas, as well as an infinity sculpture by japanese artist

hiroshi sugimoto. the park is part of an 8000 home neighborhood project on the island, and look at how clear and blue the skies were for it. >> yes, it looks interesting. looks lovely. yeah, well, our skies aren't quite so clear as we'd like them to be tonight. not everywhere, because we want to be able to see aurora borealis. but if you're farther inland away from city lights, you'll probably get a pretty good view. >> not to mention, the shabo guy said tomorrow might be even better. >> gerald said, yeah. so here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. high pressure. the controlling factor in our weather now giving us mainly sunny days. but at night, of course, we have a return of the low clouds and fog pushing gently across the bay and speaking of gently, the winds are blowing rather gently in most locations right now, except san francisco, with 22 mile per hour winds, and it's quite a bit cooler than at this time last night by about 4 to 11 degrees across most of the bay area. here's the view from our exploratorium camera looking back at the cityscape, and you can see we've got some light fog here in san francisco, enough to obscure your view. if you're in

the city hoping to see the northern lights mid-fifties right now. san francisco and oakland, 58 hayward, low 60s at san jose and redwood city, 54 at half moon bay and in emeryville. looks like pretty good conditions there. but off in the distance, they're over in oakland, you can see a bit more low cloud cover, and those temperatures just went away. but trust me, it's in the low 50s up in most of the north bay right now. and this is a view from mount tam. you can see the fog beginning to spread and deepen out over the bay. these are our forecast headlines. fog near the coast and bay overnight. mother's day gets off to a partly foggy start in the morning, but then giving way to a lovely day. it will be mild to warm and the week ahead will bring us more sunny days and a mild temperature range. now for tonight. forecast animation looks like this. there will be lots of little pockets of drizzle offshore and of course the fog will continue to push across the bay during the overnight hours and it will retreat quickly in the early morning hours. so overnight low temperatures mainly in the low to mid 50s, high temperatures tomorrow up to about 60 on the coastline. low to mid 70s around

the bay, shoreline and most inland locations. whether it's north bay, east bay or south bay, will have high temperatures in the mid 80s. and on we go to the accuweather seven day forecast. so a nice mother's day shaping up. as i said, there'll be some lingering low clouds and fog in the early morning hours, but by midmorning midday we'll have mainly sunny skies and it'll get nice and mild, mild to warm, in fact, mid 70s along the bay shoreline, upper 80s inland. now it will cool down just a little bit on monday, but still under mainly sunny skies. and for the remainder of the week, the high temperature range will be low to mid 80s inland low to mid 70s around the bay and about 6062 degrees on the coast. so not much change except when we get to next weekend. it will cool down a little bit further uh- get a little bit breezier, but we don't see any rain inside yet. >> and it's not like a few weeks ago when we had woo! exactly. >> remember every weekend for like 2 or 3 weekends in a row, we got this stormy weather. yeah, nice to see things even out a little bit. >> you're right. yeah. all right. well, still ahead tonight

to do and a longtime abc seven news reporter is honored posthumously. >> the ceremony tonight at the high school

with the israeli army preparing to expand its ground operations, hundreds of thousands of palestinians are being ordered to leave rafah in southern gaza. all of this comes as the rift between the us and israel is appearing to widen. abc news reporter derek dennis is following developments in israel ordering new evacuations in the southern gazan city of rafah. >> saturday, hundreds of thousands of people on the move as israeli forces push deeper into the area. the idf is telling people to evacuate to an expanded safe region about four miles away. but aid groups claim the area is already over populated. mohammed abu al kass is a pediatrician in the gaza strip and says that since the start of the war, he's moved several times at the direction of the idf, stating in the time

of war, there is no place that is safe. he says, we expect strikes everywhere. local authorities say more than a dozen palestinians were killed today in idf air and artillery strikes on neighborhoods in east and west rafah. the hamas run gaza health ministry, adding that the war has claimed nearly 35,000 palestinian lives since the october 7th conflict began. and as the war in gaza enters a new phase, aid groups say the humanitarian situation there is only getting worse. this, amid a new report by the state department that says israel may have violated international law in gaza and likely used american supplied weapons to do so. that report, ordered by president biden, says israel has the knowledge and means to mitigate civilian harm, but the high level of civilian deaths raises substantial questions about whether the idf is using them effectively in all cases. the report also says it's reasonable to assess that some us weapons have been used in instances that are inconsistent with israel's

obligations under international law. but it adds more information is needed and details are hard to assess given the conflict with hamas also accusing israel of lacking transparency. israel's military action defying president biden, who has withheld weapons and says the us cannot support the push into rafah. derrick dennis, abc news, new york. >> abc seven has led the charge in investigating cases of black and latino homeowners receiving lowball appraisals. that's when home values come in much lower than expected, and homeowners believe their race is a part of why it's happening.ur re and social justice reporter julian glover has reported on this coerns from viewers all the way to the white house. now julian has another story of a lowball appraisal, this time in east oakland. >> it was december of 2021, in the thick of the covid 19 pandemic, and interest rates for home mortgage loans were at

historic lows. so this east oakland homeowner, who wants to share her story but not her identity, applied to refinance her mortgage to take out money for home repairs. >> what was going through your mind when you received that appraisal? that was far lower than you expected it to be? >> the first thing i thought was, he doesn't like me because of my race. i wasn't happy with the amount of what he valued. my home at. and then i looked at the comps in my area and i knew something was wrong. >> the first appraisal came in at $785,000, much lower than a previous appraisal she received. she asked for the lender to reconsider the value. the company sent the report back to the same appraiser who did not budge. >> i was very hurt and disappointed and got upset and cried a little bit, discriminating against me because of who i was and i was single senior. he felt that i my

property wasn't a value. >> one month later, the homeowner applied for another loan with a different lender. the appraisal came in at $1,125,000. that's a $340,000 difference. after receiving the higher appraisal, she reached out to the fair housing advocates of northern california thanks to her son. >> the only thing bringing down the value of my home was me, who saw one of my many segments on appraisal bias. >> the important thing to do is to take action as soon as possible, because these are short statute of limitations. >> julia howard-gibbon is the supervising attorney for the fair housing advocates. the group helped the homeowner file a civil rights complaint with the state and eventually negotiated a settlement agreement on the homeowner's behalf, with both the initial appraiser behind the low appraisal and the lender. the lender and the appraiser deny wrongdoing. the appraiser, who did not return our request for comment, agreed to pay an undisclosed amount of money to the homeowner, not to discriminate again, and to watch

the abc seven documentary, our america lowballed that chronicles the systemic nature of appraisal bias. the lender, which is not named as a part of the settlement agreement, is making substantial changes to policies and training. >> and what we've got the lender in this case to do is to change that policy. so that if a homeowner says, i believe this appraisal came in low because of my race or the demographics of my neighborhood, then that has to be reviewed by a different appraiser, right? not just the appraiser who, who did the initial report. and we're really excited about that change. >> the settlement announcement comes days after the department of housing and urban development released new guidance on mortgages, standardizing how lenders handle appraisal bias cases. >> this a-line process now applies to about two thirds of the mortgage market between fha, fannie mae and freddie mac. what this new policy does is help to equip them with the tools to make sure that consumers are better engaged. the lenders are

more prepared, and then, of course, on the back end, there is a lot of tracking here. >> the updated policies by the lender and the feds are welcome changes to gillian white, ceo of appraisal insights. >> i think the lowball documentary really helped move the conversation away from is this happening to this is happening? what should we do about it? now we're moving into the phase of its prevalent there a lawsuits, and settlements. and now also definitive action steps that need to be taken by the lenders to really ensure that they're putting up guardrails to prevent this from happening. >> and this east oakland homeowner is now glad she can move forward with her home repairs. and her life. >> it has to be us standing up for ourselves lives and letting them know we're not satisfied, okay, we're not going to take it anymore. >> julian's reporting highlighted systemic problems with the real estate appraisal industry and led to change at

the federal level. it's a subject of our award winning abc seven originals documentary, lowballed >> in a couple of days, i got the appraisal report back. i was right, the only thing bringing down the value of my home was me. >> my wife went through her bathroom, get rid of her hair products, all of our books and our art. like, just literally like, okay, did we miss something? >> that's not what you call regulation. that's not what you call oversight. that's not, of course, what you call fairness >> still ahead tonight on abc seven news at 11, it is commencement season. and tamron hall delivered a very special address to some graduates. her message of encouragement. i'm spencer christian fog continues to roll out over the bay, but mother's day is looking rather nice. >> i'll have the accuweather

building and every time they put it on, everybody was screaming. it was so spectacular to be a part of that. and what we did in a game during that, in a game. unbelievable, larry. >> and that was in the old oracle days in oakland. the place was going berserk. my reaction was when he lifted up the jersey, i'm like, i have a backdrop just like that because i'm in pain all the time too, but your reaction is one of the things that has captivated people for years as well. and the question is how good an actor are. you could you replicate that look on command? >> that's tough larry. >> come on, brad pitt. wow denzel. >> that's that's pretty good i think that's i think that's pretty good. >> there's nothing else to be said. i was gonna i was going to try for my close up and give you, give you a like that. anyway, i think we're done. >> there you go. >> let's go back to chris.
