morning. on this thursday, may 16th. >> yes, we'll get to that in a moment. want to start the check of our forecast with drew. yeah. >> good morning. so it is a little bit cooler today. it's also windier this afternoon. be aware of that. we'll take you to our south beach camera pointed at the bay bridge a live look showing you our may gray is with us first thing this morning. we're looking at temperatures pretty uniform right now. we are all basically starting in the mid and upper 50s. but later today those winds will pick up gusting about 20 to 30mph. and that's going to bring us a little bit of a cooler afternoon compared to yesterday. so the forecast as we go region by region, the coast is pretty cloudy, very similar to yesterday. you'll notice those winds closer to 3:04 p.m. gusting about 30mph. temperatures all day today pretty much in the 50s, close to the coast around the bay shoreline. we have that cloud cover overhead right now. that's what you see here. then we get that sunshine breaking out closer to 11 a.m. temperatures though, with that wind later today in the upper 60s, which is slightly cooler than yesterday inland, we are seeing sunshine

already. we'll get those temperatures into the 60s by 11 a.m. by 4 p.m, most inland cities going into the upper 70s for daytime highs. let's check in with amanda and see how the commute is going today. good morning. good morning drew. >> we're going to take you right back into the east bay at the border of hayward and union city. that multicar crash that we're telling you about at the bottom of the last hour. this is actually two separate crashes, one four vehicle crash and one two vehicle crash. it's blocked all left lanes, so traffic is only passing on the right lane. two of those vehicles are on fire. fire crews are on scene. traffic is stopped from highway 92 with a 71 minute delay. alternate route take hesperian boulevard and hop back on at alvarado-niles road. back to you at the desk. reggie. >> thanks, amanda. just as one protest camp was taken down, another has now started near uc berkeley's campus is located near people's park. now this building has been sitting empty since a fire two years ago. abc seven news reporter gloria

rodriguez is here with the details. gloria, protesters set up camp after that large encampment in sproul plaza went away. >> that's right. that encampment on campus is now cleared. and now there are demonstrators outside the building just off campus. and you can see in this new video right here that they're still out there right now. it shows the pro-palestinian encampment still up at uc's alumni hall, the abandoned building is owned by uc berkeley, and it's near people's park. and you can see signs up there. you can also see tents there. this morning in graffiti now covers parts of the building. uc berkeley police say some in the group hopped fences and even broke windows to get inside. it was initially thought it was a people's park protest because it was the 55th anniversary of the founding of the park, but it looked more like a pro-palestinian protest. recently, demonstrators have been protesting the public university system's financial involvement and military and pro-israeli causes. abc seven talked to people on both sides of this issue. >> i didn't take over the

building, but we are resisting with palestinians who are the bravest, strongest and most tenacious resisters i ever heard of. >> they seem to parrot the narratives that are given to them and only want to focus initially on on gaza when their own backyard has problems. i mean, they took our park, we have homelessness all throughout california. we have, i mean, the issues of our modern world are endless that are local, but none of these people are local, and none of these people seem to care about the local issues. all they care about is gaza and overseas. >> the university officially says this is a crime scene, different than civil disobedience or nonviolent political protests, and it's unclear if arrests will be made and if the building will be cleared of. protesters live in the studio. gloria rodriguez abc seven news. >> thanks, gloria. we are waiting to see if protesters interrupt the uc board of

regents meeting for a second day in a row yesterday. that meeting had to be paused after protesters began yelling at board members over the listen to our voices. >> so the second warning. you're welcome to observe the meeting. should you continue to disrupt, we will have to recess and have the police clear the auditorium, this is the final warning. and if and we will clear the room until you divest. >> the yelling happened at several points during the meeting. it was held and is still being held at uc merced. after that final warning, the regents asked the california highway patrol officers to step in and to lead them out. regents have said they have no plans to divest from military or israeli supporting assets. >> the union that represents uc grad students and academic workers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike over the uk's response to the protests. this vote doesn't guarantee a strike

will happen, but the union is demanding the uc system divest and they're upset with how they feel. uc officials interfered with its members right to protest. this means union leadership can call for a work stoppage at any point. classes and research could face major disruptions. as you know, many of these institutions are wrapping up their school year in the next few days and weeks. >> police cleared an encampment on uc irvine's campus, arresting several pro palestinian protesters who have barricaded and occupied a university building. >> there were some clashes as officers moved in, corralling the demonstrators. as you can see here, police say some of the protesters had chained the doors of a lecture hall shut and stay with us for continuing coverage of the college campus protests in the bay area and nationwide. you can get the latest anytime at abc seven news.com. >> a group of san franciscans is taking their demands for change to the streets. the city's annual rite of silence is a solemn memorial honoring those injured or killed while biking.

ethan boyce, who was hit and killed while riding in the presidio last year, and laura taylor, who was killed in a hit and run. >> we don't like to, add a name or create a new ghost bike because someone, you know, lost their lives simply because they're riding a bike. >> the bicycle community in san francisco is really tight, and it's very strong. and seeing people come together for a common cause is always lovely. >> and she says it was a close call herself that brings her out to ride this ride is important to me because i almost died riding my bicycle. >> people who drive to slow down, please, you know, and try to share the roads. >> and they're asking for the city's help as well. >> the city should do much better job of building infrastructure that permits people to get on their bike and not risk their lives every single day. >> and as for jeff jones, he says he'll keep coming back in remembrance of charlie. >> i'll be here again next year for the same reason, and

government of the country just like ours, but to boycott it, to delegitimize its people, to stop doing academic exchanges with it, we think is deeply problematic and alienates the jewish community. and so we felt compelled with our la and statewide partners to send a letter to the leadership to make sure that they understood how detrimental this would be for our community. >> and the letter he's referring to reads in part, quote, the civil rights of jewish students and faculty are not a bargaining chip that can be used to quell campus unrest. these negotiations and subsequent concessions counter the spirit of higher education, are in direct violation of california state law, are not in line with anti-discrimination policies and statements, provide no assurances, and incentivize students to violate university policies as happening today. >> we are going to find out just how much money ucla has paid uc berkeley. the board of regents is set to vote on a final agreement. it will likely be $10 million a year for three years. yesterday, regents rejected the
