the sunday fun day is not ruined. we have some warmer temperatures and drying out next week with the return of the 70s and 80s. we'll have the full forecast coming up. kira, back to you. >> i retract my statement. that sun rise looks beautiful. thanks. a great resource with our changing weather is on our free nbc bay area app. just point your phone's camera at that qr code on your screen. if you already have our app, this will take you straight to our radar. developing news overnight. explosions over israel. the world is reacting to this major escalation in the middle east. iran laurnglaunching its first- direct attack on israel, intensifying the ongoing conflict in the region. we are learning iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones at israel, but israel is saying 99% of them were

counselor building in syria. joe biden cutting a trip to delaware short this weekend, returning to the white house yesterday, telling israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the u.s. will not participate in offensive operations against iran. that is information being told to nbc news this morning. the president plans to meet with g7 leaders today to coordinate a diplomatic response to the attack. the u.n. security council says it will hold an emergency meeting today with israel's ambassador. the ambassador is calling on the council to condemn the attack, and designate the iranian revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization. here in the bay area, those with family and other loved ones in iran and israel are concerned about what comes next.

we spoke with one political content creator, her name is ariana jasmine. she's outspoken to her 350,000 plus social media followers about her dislike of the current iranian regime, but says they had a right to retaliate for the bombing of the iranian embassy in syria. now she worries for the civilians in iran and neighboring nations who will be impacted if things escalate. >> it is going to be strof ek -- catastrophic for the middle east and catastrophic for the people. i am so worried for my family members in iran. it's very bad news. >> the head of the bay area jewish council worries for jewish people globally, here in the bay area as well who may be targeted because of what's happening overseas. >> we need to remember that things can easily spiral out of control. it's not just about this limited attack, or so we hope.

it's what could go wrong. >> many here are hoping for a stop to the violence in the days ahead, as the situation overseas evolves by the hour. our nbc news team is continuing to monitor this situation closely. our free nbc bay area app is a great resource to have. we will continue to send breaking news updates straight to your phone. we're going to turn now to our local news. a major sideshow in the east bay caused some people to end up behind bars. the sideshow here, you see started around 1:15 on 40th and broadway in oakland. it moved several times, ending on foothill and high streets. the large numbers of cars and spectators in the intersection, and police soon surrounded the area. many drivers tried to escape. some even hitting patrol cars on the way out. a police car trying to -- that person tried to get away hit the

highway 1 still damaged. yesterday's convoys were canceled, helping people get in and out of that area safely. the storm washed away part of the scenic highway. it's pretty much the only way in and out of that remote area. caltrans has been leading those convoys once a day to guide people out safely. those convoys are set to resume today noon and 5:00 p.m. and tomorrow from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. road stabilization is expected to be completed by memorial day. people in one south bay neighborhood say a growing homeless encampment has been putting their health and safety at risk for more than a year, and now after nbc bay area's reporting, the san jose mayor and other community leaders are taking action. natalie vera joined the mayor and his team as they canvassed willow vote yesterday, a story you'll see only on nbc bay area.

>> reporter: san jose city leaders want to hear from businesses and neighbors on willow street. >> we've gotten a lot of complaints about the encampment from the small business owners as well as the residents. >> reporter: we've been reporting on those complaints for over a year now. neighbors saying they're seeing human feces and burglaries. this woman says it's gotten worse over the last few years. for street vendors like anita, she says they're constantly worried about getting robbed or run-ins with intoxicated people from the nearby encampment. so city leaders are inviting community members to voice their concerns at a meeting next wednesday. the mayor says the city wants to find a solution for the families here on willow street but also for the unhoused community. >> we don't know how many people are at that specific

encatchment, but we have over 4,000 people in this city of san jose who are living unsheltered. >> this is a real challenge. we don't have enough safe places for people to go, and we want to work with the community to expand places where people can be, from permanent, affordable housing to more immediate solutions like safe sleeping sites. >> reporter: he says the city is making some endeavors, from investing in permanent housing to more basic forms of shelter, like modular units. >> we were building a waiting list that got up to about 400 people and we had to stop taking names. >> reporter: back on willow street, business owners hope the city can find a way to keep their neighborhood clean and safe. reporting in san jose, natalie vera, nbc bay area news. 7:10 right now. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, we go live to washingt, d.c.on

welcome back. iran launched an unprecedented attack from iran on israel. israel saying it's defense system was able to shoot down some 300 drones and missiles from iran. now a senior official from the biden administration said joe biden told prime minister benjamin netanyahu the u.s. will not participate in offensive operations against iran. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of middle east middle east. thanks for joining us this morning. the u.s. has sent aid to israel. you interviewed john kirby this morning. was he able to share -- i don't know if this is the right wording, but how the u.s. can

pull out or withdraw, so to speak, at this point if they're saying they're not going to participate in these offensive operations? >> oh, absolutely, kira. good to be with you. i said isn't the united states already engaged in what is happening in the middle east, given that the u.s. was responsible for shooting down some of those drones that were directed at israel overnight? he said look, we were helping out in a defensive posture. what we will not do is engage in any sense in an offensive posture. so that is where he is drawing a distinction. but we do know that the united states is sending some assets to the region, including a destroyer, to help send a signal that the united states stands with israel. now, we know that joe biden spoke with prime minister netanyahu yesterday. i asked john kirby specifically what was his message, did he tell netanyahu not to engage in a retaliatory strike, as is our

reporting. he basically said, take the win. he wouldn't confirm that, but here's what he said, kira, that i thought was significant. he said the united states does not want to see an escalation. notably, i also spoke with the republican chair of the house intelligence committee, mike turner, who sees this as an escalation. he doesn't say the united states should necessarily do anything right now, be you the u.s. should be sending a strong signal that it will move to take action if iran, in any way, continues to escalate this situation. notably, both of my guests called on congress to pass aid for israel and ukraine, and to do it this week. so bipartisan agreement on that final point. >> a lot to cover this morning. kristen, you always have the most important interviews. we look forward to seeing you in about 45 minutes from now. thanks for your time. we hope you join kristen for this morning's "meet the press." she'll have that interview with john kirby, as well as that

exclusive interview with ohio representative mike turner from the house intelligence committee. and governor gretchen whitmer of michigan, who will be touching on the abortion debate now reignited in arizona. well, april is autism awareness month. it's a time when parents and teachers are asking people to focus on acceptance and accommodation. here's our meteorologist kari hall with more. >> reporter: for autism awareness month, some advocates are focusing on accommodation instead of change, laying out ways schools and employers can create accepting spaces for students and workers. some people on the autism spectrum need loud noise inputs, and some on the spectrum like to follow routine and structure, suggesting agendas, and some others are uncomfortable with

eye contact, indicating priority on verbal responses and body language. one teacher tells us there are many ways to better understand someone with autism by taking what's called a more neuro diver gent approach. >> individuals with autism exhibit different kinds of movement and trying to make different kinds of noises, instead of telling them to be quiet or stop doing that, these are behaviors that they can't control. so sort of think of trying to hold your sneeze or hold your cough in a public setting. it's something that's really hard. >> she says two groups provide helpful resources, include autism speaks and the autism society of america. for more stories like this, join me starting at 5:00 on the air. and watch nbc bay area news whenever you want. we're on 24/7 on roku and other streaming platforms. back to you, kira.

>> kari, thanks so much. yesterday was a special day for nearly 150 kids in san francisco. they were surprised with brand new bikes. it was all done by the rotary club of san francisco with the help of other community organizers. volunteers spent the first set of the day building the bikes and handed them out to kids from the bay view neighborhood. those kids were given helmets, locks, and lessons on how to ride safely. the rotary club has been holding events like this for nearly 15 years as a way to encourage kids to be physically active and to build community. just shy of 7:18, time to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. might be a better day to ride a bike today. >> for the rest of us to get outdoors and get those errands done. we did really well through the santa cruz mountains. over 2.25 inches of rain through

ben lowman, and san jose did well, almost nearing half an inch. and up towards san francisco, over an inch. up to the north bay, through mill valley and santa rosa. then over to the tri valley, we got a pretty good amount of beneficial rain. i think it's starting to go into the end mark here. as we take it into that hour by hour outlook, there's a chance of seeing spotty drizzle towards the coastline of marin, maybe sea ranch, lake sonoma, and the rest of it will stay away from the bay area, continuing in other parts of the state. as we take it into lunchtime and later on this afternoon, no rain to report. we'll stay dry through the majority of our sunday to enjoy the rest of the weekend. as we go into monday morning, getting the week started, there could be patchy fog as we get that moisture to evaporate and we cool things down and dry it out. as far as rain totals for today, again, we're in this bubble

week. could be a little bit of that cloud cover with the temperatures warm. 70s and 80s. and nice and mild in san francisco, as well. so just watch out for the chance of drizzle. bring a jacket through the city. then we warm up through the workweek. it will be nice along the coast, as well. inland valleys going to get warmer as we go up into that warming trend tuesday to about thursday. 70s and 80s. a bit warm, that flow will come in from the ocean, starting friday to cool things down just a touch. but the good news is, next weekend should stay dry. >> it's a miracle. all right. cinthia, thanks. just shy of 7:21. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, the sharks drop their regular season home finale. we have a message from one of their star players. cinthia just said today, bay fc looks to defend against seattle in a west coast stopper showdown at paypal park.

[ explosions ] we continue to follow this developing news overnight. an unprecedented attack on israel. overnight, iran launching its first-ever direct attack on israel intensifying the ongoing conflict in the region. we are learning that iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones at israel, but israel this morning is saying that 99% of them were intercepted by its aerial system and the help of u.s. forces. we want to take you to a live look in tel aviv, where israeli officials say the assault severely injured a 10-year-old girl. 31 others have been treated for anxiety or injuries they suffered while trying to get to a safe place when air raid

sirens went off overnight. and in iran, a group of supporters of the iranian government gathered to celebrate the country's missile and drone attacks against israel. protestors waved flags of palestine and lebanese hezbollah and chanted "death to israel" and "death to america." this marks the first time iran has ever launched an attack on israel, despite decades of hostility, dating back to the country's 1979 islamic revolution. iran's u.n. mission issued a statement on xfx yesterday saying that after its military action against israel, the matter is considered to be concluded. iran's announcement did not come without warning, though, as iran noted if israel makes another mistake, it would deliver a considerably more severe response. this comes nearly two weeks after an israeli strike on the iranian consulate building in

syria. this video of the aftermath that killed two of tehran's commanders. israel says the assault was its inherent right of self-defense. joe biden cut his trip to delaware short returning to the white house idea. nbc news learned that he spoke with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu reaffirming the u.s.' commitment of the security of israel, but the president saying the u.s. will not participate in offensive attacks to iran. he plans to meet with g7 leaders today to coordinate a diplomatic response to the attack. the u.n. security council meanwhile says it will hold an emergency meeting today with israel's ambassador. the ambassador is calling on the council to condemn iran's attack. and designate the iranian revolutionary guard as a terror organization. our nbc news team is committed to continuing to monitor this

situation closely. again, our free nbc bay area app is a great resource to have. we will send breaking news updates straight to your phone. back here locally in the bay area, and new overnight, two women are dead in napa after a shooting near the sea scout's meeting hall. it happened just after 8:00 last night on riverside drive. police say when they responded they found two women in the street who had been shot. one woman died at the scene. paramedics rushed the second woman to the hospital where she died. it is unclear if there was an event going on at sea scouts hall when the shooting happened. or if the shooting happened inside or outside the venue. we are awaiting word from napa police as they continue their investigation. they're asking anyone with information to give them a call. now to a san francisco artist who says the art at the city's new downtown food hall

looks a lot like his work, and he doesn't think it's a coincidence. alyssa goard caught up with the artist who says he's disappointed and planning to take action. >> i really try to strip down to the core elements of what make a face. >> reporter: it's a concept and design artist tim lalan has been working on for more than a decade. >> sometimes i put the mouth on top of the nose. >> reporter: he's called it making faces, including bold lines and soft edges. he says he was behindsi friends bombarding him of the saluhide dining hall. >> it looked like something i would do or have done for "the new yorker," for example, i did a whole series of these illustrations. >> reporter: he says these are designs he is widely known for. he plans on taking legal action.

we spoke with a copyright attorney who says artist can make a strong copyright case if they can show the other party involved had ample access to the art. a spokesperson said -- this matter was just brought to our attention and we are looking into it. as for lahan, he is similarly disappointed to see this from a project positioned as celebrating san francisco and revitalizing downtown. >> it's supposed to be this grand thing, oh, the community. i'm part of the community, and like you're damaging my reputation by ripping off my work like this. >> reporter: alyssa goard, "today in the bay." seven of the women accusing a former bay area mayor of sexual assault are coming together to bring a civil case. this, after california's attorney general decided not to proceed with a criminal investigation against the mayor who resigned in 2021 following

those allegations of sexual assault. attorneys who represent those women who are accusing dominic foppoli spoke out yesterday, blasting the decision by the attorney general's decision to suspend a criminal investigation into foppoli. prosecutors say they just don't have enough evidence to file charges. yesterday, lawyers and alleged victims want to know why the accounts of 15 women aren't enough to bring criminal charges, and they vowed to continue their case in civil court. >> history will repeat itself, and the problem is twofold. one, women, minors, and men won't report rapes because justice is never served. two, a rapist will continue living free as a sex predator. how many more reports of rape does there need to be before we put our foot down? >> we have reached out to

foppoli's attorney for response but have not heard back. he's apparently now living in italy. previously, foppoli denied all allegations. several east bay firefighters responding to a call for help ended up in the hospital. this all happened yesterday morning on south bound 680 in walnut creek. the fire crews were responding to a crash when another car hit their truck, which was blocking the left lane to protect the accident. paramedics rushed those people to the hospital. four firefighters also were taken to the hospital as a precaution, but we are told they are expected to be okay. and take a look at this. another fire truck was hit not once but twice by different cars while responding to a crash on 680. this happened yesterday in fremont. no firefighters were hurt, but as you can see, the fire engine had to be towed.

fremont fire department will use a reserve engine in the meantime. the cause of those crashes are under investigation. turning now to our climate in crisis. spring is when a lot of people work in the yard or begin their gardens. you may not realize what you plant has a big impact on pollinators like bees and butterflies, which we are seeing declining numbers due in part to climate change. pollinating insects need food and places to nest, which you can provide by growing native plants around your home. dr. mallinger says the population of wild bees has declined about 50% with another quarter becoming endangered due to self-stressors. >> land use change is a mayor stressor. this can be the conversion of wildlands to agriculture or to development. climate change is another stressor. it changes the average

temperature these pollinators are experiencing. it also increases the chance of extreme temperatures, and also increases the chance of extreme weather events, things like hurricanes, flooding, that can destroy the habitat for pollinators. >> you might know pesticides and parasites are other stressors of pollinators. without them, 75% of our crops would not be able to grow, which would, of course, reduce our food supply. visit your local nursy to find native plants to help the pollinators. if you would like more information, go to nbcbayarea.com and look for our climate in crisis page. 40 past the hour. still to come on "today in the bay," a bay area woman trying to find affordable housing for seniors at a time when it's difficult. how she's hping moreel

early morning commute, getting the week started. and how about going out to san jose. we have the omg family festival. i know people want to get out and we'll do that today. temperatures in the 60s down here in the south bay with more on that clearing in the afternoon. and maybe you'll take it out to the ballpark in oakland. we have the nationals taking on the a's today at first pitch, 1:07. wind speeds around 10 to 15 miles per hour. our temperatures around the bay area, just going to be a touch warmer than what we had yesterday. 60s towards the north bay, the east bay, and 64 degrees down here in downtown san jose. tomorrow, also warming up. we start to get more of the upper 60s for the inland valleys and warmer as we go throughout our workweek. we'll get temperatures back into the 70s by tuesday. 80s by wednesday and thursday. i think the warmest day will be wednesday as we track 81 in ukiah, 83 in concord and 82 in gilroy. so we dealt with the wet

weekend, we'll start to dry things out throughout the week and enjoy this little bit of a warmup in san francisco, too. if we are talking warmup in san francisco, we know it's going to get warm in our inland valleys. just watching out for areas of spotty rain this morning. but then as we go through the workweek, warming it up tuesday, wednesday, thursday. more of the zonal flow, meaning the on shore breeze will come in on friday to cool things down just a touch but no rain for now for saturday. >> i le ov

final half only after her daughter visited 27 different homes. >> it was huge, and it's whole new world, a world you don't come into until it's time to. so it was a very intense and deep dive into finding and learning, you know, what were the main criteria, you know, to find for your mother. and they changed along the ways in the learning. >> reporter: this is why anita founded her company, neighborly senior placement. she started working with seniors at the age of 15 as a waitress in a care facility, after seeing how overwhelm thing stage of life could be for the whole family, she created a concierge model, so loved ones can talk with the team at neighborly who have firsthand knowledge of local facilities, not just someone answering an 800 number at a corporate office. >> a lot of families don't know what their parent's financial situation is. they don't know if they have

long-term care insurance, maybe they don't have the power of attorney documents in place, so helping them figure out how to access those things so they can advocate on behalf of their loved one is something we have a lot of experience in. >> reporter: right now, they work with families working with private paid facilities that can run between $4,000 and $20,000 a month and they pay a referral fee to neighborly costing the families nothing. they can't help etch, but they try to use the resources they gather to get people started off on the right path. it says it's the way they are paying it forward. some of the senior living resources are each county's agency on aging, and the medicare care compare tool. according to the u.s. census bureau, california has the most assisted living communities in the country, so a little help
