and to start the check of our forecast is drew. yes. >> so we begin this morning with a little bit of cloud cover along the coast. we will find a mild afternoon. yesterday was certainly the warmest day of the week, but we will still find some mild temperatures later on this afternoon. here's a live look from the exploratorium camera right now, showing you mainly clear skies at this hour. the 24 hour temperature change will show you we are several degrees warmer right now compared to this time yesterday, so we're hanging on to some of that mild air we had yesterday. you look at temperatures right now. we have areas in the 50s for the most part about an hour ago some cities were in the 60s. in fact, cloverdale still at 60 degrees. so we do have some mild temperatures this morning. and that will lead to a mild afternoon along the coast today we will find a little bit more cloud cover compared to yesterday, but we'll get some afternoon sunshine and temperatures mainly in the upper 50s for daytime highs now around the bay shoreline. we begin with a few clouds, but it's a bright looking day, not as warm as yesterday. will go into the upper 60s to around 70 degrees and then inland. today we'll go into the low 80s. lots of

sunshine in the forecast and temperatures still a bit above average for this time of the year. let's check in with amanda, see how it's going. yeah. >> good morning drew. here at the top of the hour we're going to take a look at drive times. you can see tracy to dublin. that will take you about 38 minutes. the drive from dublin to mission boulevard south 15 minutes. and then a 16 minute drive to get from 101 to cupertino. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. three proposed california laws addressing reparations for black californians are moving forward. these bills are written with the intent to begin correcting the harms of slavery and decades of discriminatory practices perpetuated by the state and local government. abc seven news reporter clare rodriguez joining us live in gloria, you're breaking down the three bills that just passed the state senate. >> good morning. kumasi. all three of the key reparations bills passed the california senate with comfortable margins. the bills now head to the assembly for votes in the coming weeks. so let's break these bills down for you. sb 1403 would create a new agency in the state to oversee and administer

any reparations measures passed. to be eligible, you'd have to be able to trace lineage back to an enslaved person or a black person in the u.s. before the end of the 19th century, sb 1331 would create a fund for reparations and reparative justice in the state treasury. now, this would be where the money would come from to pay for reparations. but no specific funding mechanism has been determined. as the state continues to navigate a significant budget deficit. the third bill, sb 1050, would provide compensation to families who have had their property taken from them in racially motivated applications of eminent domain. >> the power of eminent domain has been used repeatedly to abuse, to move black and brown people off of their land and destroy their homes. these actions have devastated the opportunity for families to build intergenerational wealth through the owning of land. >> these three bills come in

addition to ab 3089, which passed the state assembly last week. it would issue an apology to black californians for the state role in instituting slave laws and discriminatory practices since its founding. if passed, the bills could reach governor gavin newsom's desk by the end of september to sign or veto. live in the studio gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. thank you, gloria. >> now, this is a process we have been following closely for years now. abc seven's julian glover takes an in-depth look at the groundbreaking work of the reparations task force and examines a package of proposed laws and an abc seven originals documentary, california's case for reparations. it's available right now on abc seven news.com and wherever you stream abc seven news. >> this morning, we're learning more about the terrifying moments on the singapore airlines flight that hit extreme turbulence as it was going from london to singapore. amanda has been tracking the story since minutes after this happened. yesterday morning. amanda, we're now hearing from passengers who

were on the flight. yes >> and reggie, images from inside the plane show how violent the plane shook as it hit turbulence and what passengers describe as a really terrifying scene. i think the entire thing happened within the span of, like, less than 10s. >> i saw people from across the aisle just like like going completely horizontal, hitting the ceiling and landing back down and like, really awkward positions. >> and i told you yesterday morning, one man died in the ordeal. several people are still in critical condition. the ceo of the airline has issued an apology. it reads in part, i would like to express my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased. we are very sorry for the traumatic experience that everyone on board sghc 321 went through. the ntsb says it is sending a team to investigate and boeing has said it is in contact with singapore airlines and is ready

keep people safe. >> fellow moderate candidate and former interim mayor mark farrell talked about his desire to create a more equitable city. farrell specifically highlighting the need to build more affordable housing. >> number one, it encompasses zoning. number two, it encompasses legislation and number three, the company's mayoral directives to make sure that our planning and dbe departments are actually more efficient. >> businessman daniel lurie talked about his background, founding local nonprofit tipping point community library, mentioning his ability to work with various players across the city to raise money. >> we need to bring conventions back to san francisco. we need to bring tourism back to san francisco. we need to bring revenue. i know how to do that. >> current president of the board of supervisors, aaron peskin, was also there. peskin who has tried to present himself as the progressive alternative to mayor breed, talked about his desire to return the city to what he calls its liberal roots. he also hit back against claims he's anti-housing and talked about solving the city's drug crisis. >> i have been for more supervised consumption sites, safe injection sites, fellow

progressive and supervisor asha sapphire spoke about his experiences being an immigrant and coming from the city's labor movement, among other things. >> sapphire criticizing mayor breed for her handling of the city's homelessness epidemic. >> we have a budget of $14.6 billion, so it's not necessarily a matter of resources. it's a matter of management leadership and accountability in san francisco. >> tim johns, abc seven news. >> we are expecting classes to be in session as usual this morning at portola elementary school in san bruno after a really scary incident, a tear gas training nearby went very wrong. tear gas and pepper spray drifted onto campus, hurting some children. the san francisco sheriff's office says it was conducting the training indoors at the san bruno jail yesterday afternoon. somehow, that chemical got outside, wafted to the school about a mile away. children and teachers felt the

burning in their eyes, their nose, their throats. the sheriff's office says this has never happened before. in their 20 years of training at that location, the sf sheriff's director of communications told us in a statement, quote, we sincerely apologize to portola elementary school, its faculty and students and their families for this unforeseen event, which must have been especially scary for children in there pausing all training with chemical agents. >> leaders in san francisco are formally asking the fbi to investigate a series of racist deliveries left on a black family's doorstep. and as those leaders spoke yesterday, the family suffered another blow. terry williams tells us his parents ended up in the hospital after a fire at their home near alamo square. it started around 1130 yesterday morning with flames pouring out of the front windows, williams says. firefighters and neighbors rescued his parents, who were trapped on the upper floors. >> the firemen got here fast. they i applaud the firemen.

thank y'all. they got here, got my parents out. so i thank you. >> williams was at city hall when the fire started dealing with the aftermath of threatening messages and a racist doll delivered to his door. he got two deliveries in the last two months with no leads on who left them yesterday, the san francisco board of supervisors passed a resolution condemning the threats and calling for police to prioritize the investigation. this this entire situation is real test of our city. >> and whether we walk the walk when it comes to taking a stand against anti-black racism, san francisco police are investigating the racist messages as possible hate crimes. >> fire investigators are trying to figure out how this fire started. >> 510 we're going to south bay, san jose this morning. it is quiet out there. we do have clear skies across most of the

state lawmakers have just advanced a bill that would require cars to start beeping. if you go more than ten miles per hour over the speed limit.

state senator scott wiener from san francisco introduced this bill to help reduce the number of traffic deaths. the rule would apply to all new cars sold in california starting in 2032. republican state senator brian dolly, who voted against the measure, argued sometimes people need to drive faster in an emergency. >> a deadly storm slammed the midwest overnight. iowa's governor issued a disaster declaration after several tornadoes ripped through that state. amanda is tracking the situation this morning from the live desk. kumasi >> officials in iowa confirm multiple deaths after that storm system moved through the state. it spawned several tornadoes. witnesses describe a monster tornado that hit greenfield, a town about an hour outside of des moines. the local hospital sustained major damage and had to be evacuated at least a dozen people were injured. many are now waking up to the damage left behind without their homes. >> it got really, really loud and we thought we lost our house, but we were lucky. but like everyone else, is not so

much like my brother cody. his house just got wiped and there were at least 17 tornado reports generated in iowa yesterday. >> now the storm system is moving east strong winds, hail, and more tornadoes are threatening cities from texas to vermont. back to you at the desk, reggie. >> thanks, amanda. sea lion pups are dying by the hundreds off of california's coast. and scientists worry climate change may be to blame. a team at uc santa cruz says it's extremely unusual to see so many dead pups . they say they found nearly 300 dead sea lions off of ano nuevo island. that's off the coast of san mateo county. researchers say these adult sea lions seem to be losing these pups close to full term. >> my best guess, and it's a guess, is that food availability is down. california sea lion populations are at a historic high so that there's they're already at a point where they're pretty much maxed out.

>> the uc santa cruz team is watching satellite tracking, showing the sea lions are traveling farther for food. they're also looking into whether avian flu or maybe pesticides are killing the pups. >> college sports fans, if i asked you to tell me about the biggest issue in college sports today, what would you say? maybe it'd be nil. standing for name, image and likeness. this is a new system that lets student athletes get paid, in part by wealthy boosters who pay for the value that the athletes bring to the university. one of the top talents in the country right now is from here in the bay area, and he is a prime example right now of the issues that system is facing. former pittsburgh high athlete jaden rashada is now suing florida gators head coach, football coach bill napier and others for fraud, according to this lawsuit. rashada originally signed to play for miami for a $9.5 million nil deal, but was

lured away when the gators offered him nearly a $14 million nil deal with the promise of $1 million on signing day. well that deal ended up falling through. he never saw any of the money. lawyers who are not associated with rashad's lawsuit say that the nil system is messy because the rules aren't clear. >> imagine right now if the nfl had free agency for every single player, every single year, and there was no salary cap. and not only that, but it was essentially the fan who were bidding to pay these athletes >> rashada is now seeking at least $10 million in damages. the university of florida issued a statement saying they do not comment on ongoing litigation, and pointed out the university athletic association, nor the university are named in this lawsuit. >> it's in the water we drink and just about every tube of

toothpaste, new research claims. fluoride a mineral that protects our teeth, may be harmful to pregnant women. the study out of usc tracked more than 200 low income pregnant latinas living in la. researchers say the women with the most fluoride in their systems were more likely to have children who developed neurological problems, as the higher the fluoride exposures, the worse were the neurobehavioral scores on things that reflect things like anxiety , depression. >> and he steps away from either taking fluoride out of the water at this point, or not using fluoridated toothpaste. i think it's very premature. >> no major medical group recommends pregnant women avoid water with fluoride. the world health organization says there's no evidence fluoride use needs to change. >> a candy company is doing the most. it is rolling out an underwater vending machine. airheads we're talking about you released a video saying the older we get, the less fun the pool gets. so it shows a man

dropping a vending machine in the water. airheads says it's fully waterproof. it goes eight feet. what? the vending machine has a candy launcher, and instead of cash, you pay with fun. but you do need money to buy the machine, which is $7,000. that's a lot of fun. they're going to start selling them on memorial day, which is the official start of pool season. while supplies last. >> there's nothing about this that makes any sense, but it's funny. >> i would like to see it in action. >> would you? you would go down there and be like, well, he's not that bad. >> how do you get it out? >> well, apparently it shoots it at you. no, no. >> how do you get the machine out? >> oh, that's not my problem. you don't. it's not my problem. it's going to be a rust bucket because you have to remove it to replace all the candy. >> yes. no one's thought through these things. >> a lot of problems. you could

just keep it above the water. >> you know who thought of this? >> an airhead. oh, are. well, take full graphics. you know, go to other. you know what? they're trying. they're trying to bring back the fun. apparently. it's like, no, keep it on this for a while. keep it weird for a second. it still won't hit the button. there you go. here's the golden gate bridge camera this morning. we are fog free from this vantage point, but we do have clouds across parts of the east bay near hayward and oakland. even some cloud cover around half moon bay. right now. your weather wellness. there is really no change from yesterday. air quality good to moderate. once again, your pollen levels have not changed this week. still moderate to high and your uv index is a seven out of an 11. so looking at today's forecast and then we have a lot of sunshine. again it is bright out there. temperatures going into the mid 80s. so it's a little cooler than yesterday where we were close to 90 degrees in the afternoon around the bay shoreline. it's another nice day. sunny skies, upper 60s to lower 70s along the coast. we have clouds right now, but we will get afternoon sunshine and

highs mainly in the upper 50s to the lower 60s, so it's still mild today. it's still sunny 76, in santa clara, just a few degrees cooler than yesterday, 78 in san jose, 70 the high in santa cruz along the peninsula. we have coastal clouds right now breaking for sunshine this afternoon. closer to 1 p.m. around half moon bay in pacifica . 70 for the high in redwood city with sunshine, 73. in mountain view, the city today a few degrees cooler by about 3 or 4 degrees compared to yesterday. 66 downtown 63. in daly city, the north bay. it's warm, 74 in petaluma, but we hop to 84. in santa rosa, 80 in sonoma, 70 in sausalito, 72 and sunny in oakland today, 74 in fremont and inland will be in the upper 70s to the mid 80s for daytime highs. the evening planner once again shows you that lack of fog, that marine layer stays pretty compressed. so we're having clear skies throughout the entire evening. so overnight tonight we'll have lots of stars out there, overnight lows dipping into the 40s and into the 50. now heading into the holiday weekend, temperatures are actually going to dip below average. here's saturday, we'll

find temperatures in the 50s and 60s. we'll start to rebound a little bit on sunday. monday is certainly going to be the warmest of the three days this holiday weekend, with temperatures at or just slightly above average. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. sunny today and tomorrow. fog returns friday and that ushers in that cooling trend for the holiday weekend. but the afternoons will be bright with lots of sunshine with that warm up by monday. guys, thank you drew. >> coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> the caitlin clark connection on what she just did that no other athlete has done since michael jordan 40 years ago a live look outs

oversee and administer any reparations measures past the agency would be responsible for confirming a recipient of reparations, can trace lineage back to an enslaved person or a black person in the u.s. before the end of the 19th century. here's a look at the other bills . sb 1331 would create a fund for reparations and reparative justice in the state treasury, and this would be where the money would come from to pay for reparations. but no specific funding mechanism has been determined. as the state continues to navigate a significant budget deficit. there's also sb 1050 that would provide compensation to families who've had their property taken from them in racially motivated applications of eminent domain and the bills will go before the assembly in the coming weeks. if passed, the bills could reach governor gavin newsom's desk by the end of september to sign or to veto. live in the studio gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria, this is a process we've been following closely for years. abc seven's

setting for minors accounts would be set as private again, that can all be adjusted by parents. senator nancy skinner of berkeley introduced the bill. she points to research linking social media addiction among youth with higher rates of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. the legislation is sponsored by california attorney general rob bonta. it won bipartisan approval from the senate in a 35 to 2 vote. back to you, reggie. thanks, amanda. >> police are asking for help finding a college student who was last seen in san francisco. 18 year old uc davis student diane shao-jiang. min min took an amtrak to mission street on friday. she was reported missing a few days later on monday night. it's not clear what brought her to san francisco. uc davis police believe that she was in distress. >> new developments leaders in walnut creek are moving forward with a plan to open a new chick-fil-a. despite pushback from residents, the city council denied an appeal in a meeting that lasted past midnight. the

chain restaurant will be at the citrus marketplace shopping center, and that is off oak grove road, near ignacio valley road. it would take the place of a vacant bank and have no drive thru, just dine in and takeout public comment went on for more than an hour. neighbors say this new chick fil a will ruin the quality of the city and bring in additional traffic. councilmember kevin wilk argues that it could help the shopping center survive. >> there's three other highly successful centers around it, and this one has just gone downhill. ever since i've lived in the area, it's lost core businesses and the only way to survive and continue as a shopping center is with successful businesses. >> city leaders agreed they will look into the best ways to reduce traffic and congestion in the area. >> you have to hold on to your clipper card account longer. if you take bart or muni, the move to pay those transit fares with your debit or credit card
