some of our cooler valleys in the 40s like santa rosa, but areas like clear lake and cloverdale were holding near 70 degrees right now. so it will be a warm afternoon. we'll start inland where the heat advisory is in effect. lots of sunshine today. look at that. temperatures in the upper 90s for daytime. highs warm around the bay shoreline. dress for summer shorts and a t shirt. best accessories sunshine mid 80s by 4 p.m. and then along the coast we'll see more sunshine than yesterday. highs in the low and mid 60s. let's check in with amanda. see the commutes going. >> hi drew. a little busy on the san mateo bridge, but good news. no real issues. you can see from the toll plaza to foster city that will take you 12 minutes. and then a look at mass transit. the only issue really is ace train three. that's running about ten minutes late. and then i'm going to leave you here with drive times. that typical slowdown. tracy to dublin made worse after a report of a big rig blocking the second lane from the left. it's really just adding to the slow traffic there. this is westbound 580 at

vasco road. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. happening today is san francisco's panda project. could take another step forward today. the board of supervisors will be discussing how to pay for the exhibit. this afternoon, but it's not coming without opposition. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez joining us in studio with the protest being planned today, gloria, good morning, kumasi. >> several animal rights groups have been opposed to the plan. they say the zoo is outdated and has other problems to deal with before adding more animals. so they're planning a protest ahead of today's meeting, the mayor's really been trying to highlight how positive this could be for the city, and how it could be one part of bringing more people back to san francisco. but she needs to raise $25 million to pay for a new panda enclosure and other upgrades at the zoo. she's proposing an exemption to a city policy to allow her office to raise money from private donors. some supervisors had raised questions about whether that could create a conflict of interest for her, and they initially postponed a vote on the proposal, asking for

changes. last month, mayor breed appeared on abc seven's getting answers and talked about her fundraising plan, complete transparency, paperwork, all of what we need to do, making sure they're not people that do business with the city and their conflict. >> so there's a lot of checks and balances in place to make sure that there isn't anything inappropriate that's happening. as a result of it. >> ultimately, last week, the board's government audit and oversight committee voted unanimously to recommend an amended fundraising plan. it includes an ethics rules waiver and will require more transparency, including a public list of donors. today's meeting starts at two in the afternoon, and the pandas would arrive sometime next year. live in the studio gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> gloria, thank you. we've been following the story of a little boy who was attacked by an unleashed dog in san francisco. now we know the owners of the dog have been cited. the dogs faith, though, is undecided. surveillance video caught the

attack on camera. the three year old was walking home with his nanny in the cow hollow neighborhood when the dog charged at him. in a statement, san francisco police said the owners were cited by animal care and control for failure to provide information after a dog bite and failure to report a dog bite to the department of animal care and control. now, the city will schedule a hearing where the dog's fate will be decided, including possible euthanasia. animal care and control says the city's process is focused on the dog, not necessarily the dog's owners. the child's mother says she'd have to take her own action to hold them accountable. >> there's nothing happening to the owners, and if we want to hold the owners accountable, we have to file separately through the civil court, which could be time consuming and probably have a financial impact. so a lot of people shy away from that, and as a result, nothing happens to the owners. >> according to city records, the citation for a dog owner is about $90. jail time is a possibility in the most extreme

cases. >> if you see a crime and reported in parts of san mateo county, you could soon be getting a cash reward. county supervisors are set to consider a proposal today that's aimed at cracking down on residential burglaries. supervisor ray mueller announced this plan yesterday surrounded by police officers and county prosecutors. mueller is calling on his colleagues to approve $125,000 to fund a residential burglary reward program. this would help gather information during criminal investigations, would be criminals will now know, should they choose to invade the sanctity of a person's home. >> here in san mateo county, every person with knowledge about their crime directly or indirectly, will have a strong financial incentive to share that information with the authorities to bring them to justice. >> if this is approved, the reward program will be implemented in eight san mateo county cities, as well as the unincorporated parts of district three. that's what supervisor mueller represents.

>> this morning, pro-palestinian groups are vowing to keep fighting to stop the biden administration from providing money and weapons to israel to use in the war against hamas. yesterday, they held a rally outside the federal court building in san francisco. inside, their attorneys filed an appeal to a ruling that dismissed a lawsuit they filed late last year. the lawsuit claimed president biden and other top officials are complicit in the deaths of thousands of palestinians. so let this moment be a testament to our collective resolve and let it echo through the halls of power and across the globe that we will not rest until every child in gaza can sleep in peace. >> every family can rebuild their lives, and every man and woman can live in dignity and freedom. >> when the lawsuit was dismissed, the court ruled that while it was possible israel's conduct amounts to genocide, us foreign policy is a political issue and the court lacks legal jurisdiction. >> more clashes at ucla last night between police and

pro-palestinian protesters. the group set up three encampments yesterday. last night, officers tried to get them into a narrow pathway that's what led to the clashes. police say some people in the crowd dove through the bushes. they made their own path, trying to get away. about 25 protesters were arrested for, quote, willful disruption of university operations. they've since been released and they have to stay away from ucla property for at least 14 days. at least one security officer was hurt this morning. >> we're seeing new images from gaza showing the moment israeli forces rescued four hostages held by hamas. amanda, we've learned the operation was dramatic and undercover. yeah. >> reggie aqui israeli special forces called out. they, quote, got the diamonds after their mission. >> diamonds was the code word for hostages. the new images show the moment they stormed a residential building in gaza to free some of the hostages, us sources tell abc news. israeli special forces had gone

undercover disguised as palestinian refugees. they waited for the green light to execute their mission. the idf says it launched airstrikes after they came under fire. palestinian officials in gaza say 274 people were killed during the operation. the idf disputes that number families of the rescued hostages were overjoyed to finally be reunited with their loved ones. >> i slept all night with a smile. what a big relief. that's what i want to happen for all the families of the hostages. >> secretary of state antony blinken is in the region pushing for a cease fire. he's pleading with allies to pressure hamas into accepting terms put forward in recent days, which he says israel has accepted. the us is considering a new strategy to try to free the eight americans still held in gaza. the biden administration is reportedly

considering direct negotiations with hamas. those talks would not include israel. back to you at the desk. >> i'll think of amanda. we'll say congrats to the grads at temescal high. they are graduating today. it's going to be nice out there. lots of sunshine. so congratulations to everybody at temescal high. looking at sutro tower, it is 52 in the city right now. it is partly cloudy out there and it's going to get warm today. so looking at highs versus average you can see our hottest cities well into the 90s livermore, santa rosa, upper 90, those areas about 15 to 16 degrees above average. but everybody will be above average today. it's just a one day spike in our heat with that heat advisory from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. so you want to take precautions, find shade if you're outside. stay hydrated. this afternoon as temperatures climb pretty quickly heading into 4 p.m, we'll have 70s and 80s around the bay shoreline, and then our warmest areas inland well into the 90s today. so a high of 72

in the city, but 98 in antioch, near 80 in oakland today, 90 in san jose. with that heat advisory in effect, 96 in santa rosa, napa, up to 90 degrees. the coast will be lovely today, but if you're traveling across california, our valleys are underneath that heat advisory for good reason. from bakersfield to redding, 102 to 106. but again, the southern california coastline, some morning clouds to sunshine and temperatures in the 60s and 70s from san diego to la. kumasi. >> thank you drew. coming up new overnight, four american college instructors stabbed in china, their accused attacker now in custody. then another supreme court controversy. what one justice said about political compromise and a secret recording. then the push to revitalize downtown san francisco may be

anything but typical yesterday after a crash disrupted the morning commute. you first saw it here on abc seven mornings that pre-dawn crashed into the bay bridge toll plaza. we're going to show you video of that, but what we just showed you is what it could look like if there were no toll booths on the on the bay bridge toll plaza at all. so there are plans to remove the booths at all state owned bridges, since tolls are collected electronically now by fastrak. caltrans previously announced that it was delaying the removal of these booths until february of 2026. it wants to upgrade the automatic toll collection system and remove the booths at the same time. the metropolitan transportation commission says the bay bridge will be the final location of toll booth removal because it's the most complex a local theater company figuring out its next steps after a huge grass fire destroyed a warehouse, this warehouse stored pittsburgh theater company's props and its

area. this initiative helps pop up businesses set up permanently in the city, providing them with things like free rent and grant money. last year, rosalind bakery was chosen to be part of the program. their owner, matthew kosoy, credits the program with helping his business expand from its factory in pacifica to a cafe in san francisco's embarcadero center. >> we've seen all of our costs go up, labor costs is at an all time high, all of our ingredient costs are incredibly high. it's been pretty helpful. it's been very helpful. i would not have been able to open up a second retail location for my business if it wasn't for vacant. vibrant. >> the second group of vacant, vibrant businesses will open their doors june 18th, and that comes as the city of san francisco rolled out a new vision for powell street. so far, they have a plan for the three blocks stretching from market to union square, where many shops have closed. designs call for refreshed sidewalks and upgraded parklets, with more space for pedestrians. there's also an idea to install this massive new light feature above

powell and market. the city set aside $4 million last summer to redesign and start construction on the first phase, according to the chronicle. the whole project could end up costing $30 million. >> we're going to have the nintendo store there. we're going to have the lights there. >> maybe i love a good light feature. if they can find the money, give me something shining . >> yeah. you know, you were just talking about how you love the lights on market street for pride. that's true. yep yep yep. >> the lights that shine. is that true. the street. is that true. i just made that up. that's true. and they're coming back. yeah. they're coming back. yeah. it is very cool. >> yeah. it adds a little. it definitely adds doesn't cost $30 million. >> oh. oh and take graphic and stop. >> enjoy them. you don't ask about the price. just enjoy. >> just look at the delta flight pushing back. they have another on time departure. >> they're doing the safety meeting right now. the little briefing in the plane. those folks are getting settled, excuse me, you can clearly see it is sunny out there this

today you do want to find ways to stay cool. stay hydrated, live. look from our san jose camera. a lot less cloud cover this morning compared to this time yesterday. the coast is seeing the thickest cloud cover right now, but for a lot of us, that sunshine is appearing pretty fast this morning. temperatures right now it's a mixed bag, 40s in our coolest areas, but some 60s already on the board in parts of the north bay. we're mainly in the 50s right now around the bay shoreline, so the light jacket maybe keep it on for the next 90 minutes. but temperatures really take off quickly today. we'll head inland. we're going into the upper 90s with full sunshine today with that heat advisory in effect around the bay shoreline. it's a warm day, some patchy cloud cover right now, full sunshine later on, temperatures in the mid 80s and then along the coast. a lot more sunshine today than yesterday and quite comfortable with temperatures in the mid 60s. let's check in with amanda. see how that commutes going. hi drew, a crowded bay bridge toll plaza here at 632. >> you can see metering lights. they are on and you can see that backup. it's to the foot of the maze here. it does remain slow

across the span though. it'll take you 19 minutes to get from the toll plaza into the city. and then a look at mass transit. the only issue you're dealing with is ace train three. that is running about ten minutes late. back to you at the desk. >> thank you. amanda. happening today. you can have your chance to voice your opinion on san francisco's plan to bring pandas to the zoo. the board of supervisors will be discussing the plan today with public comment included abc seven news reporter glenn rodriguez. joining us live in the studio. and, gloria, there are some very vocal people who do not want the pandas to come. >> right now there are kumasi, but if the mayor can get this done, it will be the first time since 1985 that pandas will be making a home here in san francisco. she's been keeping a positive outlook despite facing some roadblocks recently. she made it past one of the first hurdles, which was getting china to agree to send them, and now she's making headway on a second hurdle. that's the funding she needs to raise $25 million to upgrade the zoo, and wants to fund it all with private money to do that, mayor breed needs a

waiver that will allow several city departments to solicit donations. she faced some pushback from supervisors, who were concerned it would create a conflict of interest within the mayor's office. last week, the board's government audit and oversight committee voted unanimously to recommend an amended fundraising plan. it includes an ethics rules waiver and will require more transparency, including a public list of donors today. that plan goes before the full board, but before they have a chance to vote, they will be faced with several animal rights groups who do not want the pandas to come here. the watchdog group sf zoo watch is planning to go to today's meeting, the head justin barker, told abc seven last month that the zoo is in desperate need of repairs this point that this zoo is not meeting the needs of its animals and bringing pandas here is a terrible decision. in response, the san francisco zoo sent abc seven news a statement it reads in part, concerns about our

zoo's conditions are unfounded as we undergo regular inspections by various regulatory bodies. these independent inspections are thorough and encompass aspects such as animal enclosures and exhibit space. so if you want to see how this all plays out, the meeting starts at 2:00 this afternoon. and if everything works out, pandas would arrive in san francisco sometime next year. live in the studio gloria rodriguez abc seven news. >> gloria. thank you. happening today, the next steps in a plan to get reparations for black californians. three reparations bills passed by the state senate will be heard in the assembly judiciary committee. they're part of a push to begin correcting the harms of slavery and decades of discrimination carried out by the state. the bills would create a freedman affairs agency to oversee reparations, create a fund to pay them out, and compensate families whose properties were taken from them in racially motivated cases of eminent domain. we've been following the process for reparations from the start. abc seven news anchor julian glover takes an in-depth

look at the work of the reparations task force and examines the package of proposed laws and an abc seven originals documentary, california's case for reparations. it's now streaming on demand on the abc seven bay area app. >> elizabeth holmes pushed for a new trial, is heading to san francisco federal court today. a man is at the live desk with the details of her appeal. amanda? >> yeah. kumasi. theranos founder elizabeth holmes is appealing her 11 year prison sentence. holmes is seeking to have that sentence overturned, which would prompt a new trial. she started serving time at a minimum security federal prison camp in texas last may. her attorneys say the judge in her trial made errors and allowed jurors to hear testimony that should have been barred. former theranos executive sunny balwani is also appealing his fraud conviction. he received nearly 13 years in prison in 2022. separate juries found each of them guilty of defrauding investors in their now defunct blood testing company. now, today, the ninth circuit court

of appeals will hear both their cases. holmes and balwani will not be in court if this appeal fails. their last option would be the u.s. supreme court. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. we continue to follow the controversy around the center running bike lane on san francisco's valencia street. sfmta is looking to get a side running bike lane concept approved by the city's transportation board. they're reportedly two concepts in the works, according to the chronicle. one design would keep parklets and for cyclists to ride around them closer to traffic. the other would have floating parklets. now, that's when cyclists ride between the curb and the parklets. it's unclear which design will be considered by the board. the concept expected to be discussed at the next board meeting, which is june 18th. >> we're learning mayor london breeds proposal to create california's first ever entertainment zone in downtown san francisco could happen as soon as labor day, if everything goes according to plan. the area we're talking about is on front street from california to

sacramento. the proposal is moving forward, however, city supervisors still have to approve the marriage legislation. the state legislature is working on its own legislation to make it easier for businesses to sell alcohol outside their front doors during events in the east bay. >> oakland police are asking anyone with information to come forward after two shootings killed three teenagers early yesterday morning. so far, no one's been arrested. the shootings happened within an hour. one victim was found near ninth and filbert around 130 in the morning. the other two were believed to be shot near 102nd international boulevard around 2 a.m. their deaths marked the 38th, 39th and 40th homicides of the year. local community leaders are calling for additional help and resources for east bay youth. >> when i was coming up in the 80s, if a person had a gun, it was probably one person in six people with one gun. now, it could be six people and everybody got a gun. >> unfortunately, we don't have the investments necessary from

our tax base, both at the local, state and federal level, to have safe places and spaces for young people to gather. so they they literally try to create their own spaces to hang out. >> investigators say the two incidents do not appear to be connected. >> we always think it's important to look at the big picture here at abc seven and put crime into context. police in oakland and san francisco have both reported drops in violent crime this year. the fbi shared new data showing that trend carries across the country a new report shows violent crime nationwide dropped 15% in the first three months of the year, compared with last year. murders dropped by more than 26, rate by 25, robberies by 17. experts believe that trend will continue, and the murder rate could have the biggest year to year drop ever. >> you still have issues with gangs moving around, going into to communities and getting in, drug dealing, human smuggling,

started sounding this alarm, calling loneliness a public health crisis. he says it continues to increase our risk for heart disease and mental health issues. he says time spent on social media is taking time from in-person interactions , the ability to get everything delivered to us, where we are means that we also just encounter people less often in the grocery store and the retail store, or in our neighborhoods. >> when you combine this with the fact that our participation in the groups that used to bring us together, like, you know, churches and synagogues and mosques or service organizations or recreational leagues have all decreased over the last half century, you start to see why we've become so isolated and alone. >> oh, no. >> well, a recent study from the surgeon general's office showed health issues caused by a lack of connection can be as deadly as smoking 15 cigarets a day. >> >> tell me something nice. >> new at six. >> lift me up. >> a study suggests that wild african elephants may use calls similar to the way humans use

personal names to address each other. researchers use recordings of elephant rumbles and noted which animals appeared to call out to each other. machine learning, then correctly detected nearly 28% of those rumbles were intended, for they were able to determine who they were intended for when played back. some elephants responded strongly to the calls that were directed at them versus the ones directed at another animal. behaviorists say something in the rumble sounds might be allowing for the machine to detect who is on the receiving end of those calls. >> a special photo contest happening right now is hoping to make an outdoor destination here in the bay area. even better, the photo contest is called picturing coyote valley. it's designed to help planners better understand what visitors love and appreciate about coyote valley. open space. the open space is an area from san jose to the north and morgan hill to the south. amateur and experienced photographers can participate in this contest and the categories include wildlife, plant life, landscapes, agriculture and people in nature
