amplifying asian american, native hawaiian, pacific islander heritage. and we're going to show you the newest cultural district in san francisco that has taken years to reach this point. welcome back, everyone. the news at 530 starts right now. thanks so much for joining us. i'm janelle wang and i'm raj mathai. is this the turning point today president biden announced that israel has agreed to a plan to establish a permanent ceasefire in gaza and free the remaining hostages being held by hamas. all this in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners. his announcement comes as dozens of people demonstrated outside of senator alex padilla's office in san francisco. here's nbc's emma goss. organizers of today's pray in tell me they left a letter with senator padilla's staff. they also left this message painted in front of his office, calling for the u.s. to halt further aid to israel. our offer

, our minds, our freedom. they marched together from san francisco's ferry building friday morning. faith leaders and worshipers from dozens of congregations representing jewish, muslim, catholic, christian, buddhist and hindu traditions. the main demands we essentially have are we are asking our senator padilla to call for a cease fire, to end any additional arms sales to israel, and to demand an end an occupation of palestine. outside senator padilla's office on bush street, demonstrators painted their message along with a quote from pope francis on the street as speakers offered prayers, songs and chants for peace in gaza. we want everyone to live. that is why we are calling for a cease fire. they also called for the safety and release of the remaining hostages being held by hamas and palestinian prisoners detained in israel. they are demands that president biden's newly announced cease fire deal would meet. president biden has said that he will work towards all of these things. we need to

see him actually do that now. in february, padilla was one of 70 u.s. senators whose vote helped pass a $95 billion bipartisan package that included sending additional military aid to israel as well as humanitarian aid to civilians in gaza. today, pray in organizers also encouraged supporters to fast for a day this week, both as a way to focus their feelings and grief and to show how serious that we are. there are people starving in gaza, and it's just kind of a solidarity. senator padilla's office did not respond to our request for comment. happening right now, another rally for palestine, this one organized by the arab resources organizing center, or arocwe, that's at the federal building here in san francisco. emma goss, nbc bay area news this morning, a massive protest encampment cleared from the campus of uc santa cruz after a clash between police and

protesters. tonight appears those protesters have already returned. the university says around 80 people were arrested as a chp. officers from as far away as san francisco moved in overnight. the camp was set up on may 1st, but last week moved closer to central campus, where demonstrators began blocking the main entrances. protesters say what happened overnight was a major escalation. they started brutalizing students, started putting their hands on them and using force. i think that this level of police force being used against like, quote unquote, like unlawful protesters is like it's ridiculous. police cleared the area around three this afternoon, and protesters immediately moved back in and started blocking entrances again. the uc chancellor posted a letter to the community this morning saying after repeated unanswered calls to clear the camp and remove the blockade from the entrance, they decided to request law enforcement's

help. the statement went on to say, quote in part, this decision was not made because individuals demonstrated it was because they have chosen to do so through unlawful actions. we have an update now on a story we've been following in oakland. three juveniles have been arrested in connection with that shooting at oakland's skyline high school. that shooting was last week during a graduation ceremony, three people were injured in the shooting, but they're expected to be okay. east bay regional park district officers say one suspect was found with a loaded gun and arrested immediately. the two others were caught about an hour later. again all three were juveniles, police say two groups leaving the graduation ceremony gotten into a fight and shots were fired. the suspects may also be tied to a nearby carjacking. we are celebrating asian american native hawaiian pacific islander heritage, and today we are highlighting the newest cultural district in san francisco. approved by supervisors in 2022. it will

celebrate pacific islanders nbc bay area's gavin introduces us to a woman with an incredible back story leading these efforts. yeah, i'm a hood chick. and what? right? gaynor and silitonga is the leading force behind the development of san francisco's pacific islander cultural district. it covers parts of visitacion valley, portola and excelsior. right now , this is the leland corridor, this happens to be part of our pacific islander cultural district. our hope is to definitely sit here and have more pacific islander owned businesses to display some of the flags from all 24 islands. so what is your vision for this area, this cultural district? cultural to give a sense of belonging, but then also like learning the ways of how you can navigate the systems here in america, the vision that i have with our cultural district is just true equity. we didn't really realize what disparities

were. 73% of us live in low income housing. silitonga grew up in the mission and hunters point, the oldest of six siblings, her family roots are samoan. i am blessed, i am. it's something her sister captured in this documentary for a samoan, which means the samoan way of living. i come from a very great, amazing, dysfunctional family. like sort of that white picket fence or american dream type stuff. but just in the projects where my grandmother, our elders, i think they did a great job at making sure we didn't have to, you know, want while there's that story, there's also another side of her childhood that's more troubling and painful. she joined a gang, became an addict, and started selling drugs. i mean, i was already angry. i didn't know what gangs were, but i was very in tune with this group because they were the first ones that i told this secret to that secret? a cousin molested her and when i

told them one, it was a big relief. two, they taught me to how protect myself. did anything violent ever happen to you? yes i was shocked twice, you know, stabbed 15 different times, rape three. you know, separate times. how do you find yourself out of something like that? you know, to be honest, you don't. this is where a whole bunch of us just to hang out. she instead integrated it with who she is with the help of people in the community willing to listen like the visitor she saw one day while attending balboa high school, when riots were everyday occurrences and this guy was named, is named rudy corpus. found out about this guy, and he was the first one that i could say. okay, you know what? i'm gonna listen to you. what do you want? nobody ever asked us what we want, right? so we started united players. it was just a school club, you know? and now it's like, you know, it's grown. it's, you know, huge. it was to

tackle that violence. but letting us take that you know that chance. yeah the in charge of it right. silitonga began directing her pain towards advocacy. and that brought me to my healing point. in 2017, silitonga founded salt pacific islander association resource hutt, a one stop shop to help the community with all services such as public safety, housing and youth leadership. this is a coalition of different groups and different voices. i have been blessed to be embraced and loved by my latino community. my african american community, my asian, you know, community. pacific islanders make up less than 1% of california's population, according to the regional pacific islander task force. almost 3 in 10 pies in california live in the bay area and despite those numbers, silitonga is hopeful. i feel very confident for our future because i was always so worried,

like we were about to be extinct, you know, and one thing that i see with our people, you know, is this momentum, this sense of like, oh my god, we belong here. and i don't think a lot of our youngsters, you know, know her for what she does. pastor sweetie williams is one of the community's elders. silitonga looks up to as she helps design this district. that's an image you know, for any any child, you know, to go after and mimic her work. what are your hopes for this district ? we want our own people to realize that. that we need to be, you know, standing alone. you know, and find help for our people and educate them on how we got to where we're at right now. what do you feel with everything that you've gone through to do this kind of work today? how i feel now is like, i understand or i feel like i understand what my purpose is, but it'll be like the next generations after us. and i want

them to have the best in the pacific islander cultural district. gia vang nbc bay area news. two viewers are out cash thanks to companies that never even offered them any service. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds next. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. as we look ahead into the weekend. tomorrow morning, we'll see a little bit of patchy fog near the bay and the coast. australia. when that gets out of here and the unusual storm system hitting the west coast in

we are looking at some awesome weather on saturday and sunday. and then by monday, changes that are quite unusual out here across the west to start off june. we'll talk about that here in just a bit. but let's take it out to our live ballpark camera. look at that. we're zoomed in to get a look at that action there as the yankees and the giants go at it right here on nbc at 7:00 tonight. so we've got all your coverage for you right now, a comfortable 69, a little bit of a breeze out of the west northwest at 16. we could see some of the breezes kick up to about 20 to 25 during the game. and then we'll eventually drop it here to 57 by 8:00 tonight. again that game right here on nbc bay area now across the south bay. it's also been warm today. temperatures in the 80s right now looking good 82 degrees. and we're in the 70s here at six, seven and eight and then 60s later on tonight. the thing we're tracking here as we head through this weekend though is the storm track. it's going to start to move a little bit

closer towards us tomorrow. so i'm seeing numbers drop about 4 to 8 degrees just because there's some milder air with it. but here's the thing. let's zoom out, get you a wider view of the pacific, and look at all of this storm activity. this is quite unusual here, for the end of may, start of june to get this kind of activity this low in the hemisphere. now eventually it's going to bring some rainfall out here. i've got more looks at that here coming up in about a minute or so. but let's roll it into tomorrow morning. we're going to start it off with some areas of fog near the bay and the coast. most of that should clear back by about 10:00 in the morning. i just know if you're headed to any of our beaches around san francisco or half moon bay will likely hang on to a few patches of fog into the afternoon. otherwise, sunny skies here throughout the bay area. this will mean temperatures tomorrow morning. starting off in the 50s. get you down to double fives in the peninsula, 54 in the tri-valley, and some very similar weather for the east bay, san francisco and the north bay. daytime highs for tomorrow, with those numbers dropping off 4 to 8 degrees.

it's going to make it a lot more comfortable out there and you still don't lose some of that warm air. that's just been kind of nice for us to get lately. 82 in concord, 78 in san jose, 78 in martinez, low to mid 80s. right out there towards napa and santa rosa. okay. let's fast forward it into this storm system by sunday. this thing is hitting seattle. portland. most of washington and oregon. then by monday look at that. that rainfall is actually going to be hitting eureka as well. we're going to be just on the outside edge of this. certainly some cloud cover. i'm not seeing any rain right now, but we're going to closely monitor that this weekend because of how much rain we're going to see off to the north. look at the colors here and the key at the top. we're talking about 2 to 3in for a lot of zones, maybe even four inches up towards the mountains. and right near the california oregon border at the northern coastline. could even be in on about two inches for some spots. so it's out of our area right

now. but again, we're going to be closely watching it here as we head into monday's forecast. okay. other thing we've been tracking is the severe weather. doing any traveling through the central u.s. some strong thunderstorms could delay you again tomorrow right here on the 7-day forecast in san francisco. 60s coming on back this weekend. then we get a little drop in temperatures next tuesday and wednesday, low to mid 70s. and for the inland valleys we are going to 92 tuesday and wednesday night 95. so it's toasty. there's some heat coming in. i'm i'm thinking of the drink that i might be stirring this weekend would have some lime in it. that's a perfect idea. put it that way okay. oh as a garnish. as a garnish i got it. all right. thanks, jeff. up next, we have a new coach in town. how san jose state's new football coach is preparing for his first season. and that includes renewing an old school rivalry against stanford. stay

hawaii? good. taking advantage of his break, ken niumatalolo is seeing his family on the islands 27. it won't be long before the spartans new head coach is back in the bay area, and back on the football field. it's been awesome. you know, i've enjoyed being here. people have been great, the love the city of san jose, the players, the staff here. it's been amazing. coach niumatalolo is the all time winningest coach in naval academy history. with 109 wins in 15 seasons. he comes to san jose to replace brett brennan, who left for the same job at arizona. at navy, he ran the triple option with the spartans. their offense will be more like the run and shoot. i don't think it's a challenge, but it's the first thing that you have to do when you come in as a new coach or as any coach, you got to establish your culture and how you do things. the type of young man here, you know, they were in

the program, the guys that we've added in the short time we've been here, i feel like it's going to give us a chance to have a successful year, and the upcoming schedule is generating some excitement. for the first time since 2013, the spartans will take on stanford, and they get to do it at home in their regular season finale. what does that mean to your program to get them back on the schedule? i'm excited about it. you know, we have a great amount of respect for them. coach taylor is a great coach, a great football program, a great university. you know, we're two local schools here, close side by side. i mean it only makes sense. coach is hopeful that games against cal will be added in the future. the spartans report to fall camp at the end of july. they kick off the season august 29th in san jose. anthony flores nbc bay area all right, good luck to coach and the spartans next season. it's orange friday and there's an extra buzz at mccovey cove. you know why the yankees are here. let's take a live look from our oracle park center field camera. there you go. the giants and yankees kicking off a
