taken their messages to bay area's busiest airport. anne makovec has that story and other news headlines. >> hundreds of pro-palestinian protesters swarmed sfo today. one section of the group posted up outside of the international terminal. they held signs demanding an immediate cease-fire in gaza while blocking traffic. here is a look inside the terminal. another group felt -- held this sign right in front of the security checkpoint. passengers were able to make it through. police eventually did arrive. there was no confrontation or any arrests we can see. the death toll in gaza has surpassed 31,000 since the start of the war five months ago. >> we want people to know that although we don't want to negatively impact our community, it cannot be business as usual. >> israel says hamas killed 1200 people in the initial attack. in total, protest organizers say 300 people were involved in today's

demonstration. there was no impact on flights or any airport operations. in other news, san jose police arrested two people in connection with a string of bank robberies. one of them happened at a bank around westway last month . one of the suspect passed this note to a teller demanding money and then took off with the getaway driver with $1000 in cash. police id'd one suspect as brandon lopez. he was in five other bank robberies across california. the other is tamura bush. she was the getaway driver. the native american tribe native to land in west berkeley more than 5000 years ago was getting some of that land black -- back. the transfer of properties settles a long-standing dispute involving the site which is a sacred burial ground. the transfer was unanimously approved by berkeley city council. saint mary's officially headed to the big dance. they

secured the wcc championship and the automatic into the tournament after beating the bulldogs in las vegas. the final score, 69-60. this will be the third straight trip to march madness. they finished in the top 30 out of their last two trips falling to yukon last year and ucla. >> it will be so much fun to cheer them on. onto first alert weather now. get ready for some gusty winds and warmer temperatures. meteorologist darren peck is tracking this . >> there is wind coming. before we get to that, which was taken tomorrow, let's take a moment to enjoy the transition that just happened today. plenty of blue sky, no wind and temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 60s. just a quick lookahead. while there is some wind that needs to be discussed, look at how we start the day. for morning lows, we

are relatively comfortable. upper 40s to low 50s to start the day tomorrow. we will see temperatures that climb back up to 70 degrees. those numbers will jump 7 degrees warmer than that. in fact, warmer than where we are right now for today. by the time we get to the weekend and early next week, there are some issues. first things first, the reason why we turn the rain off, we are starting to warm the temperatures up. you can see it on satellite but let me help visualize where the pressure field is. a big center of high pressure just set up off the coast. let's get you sunny and warm but sunny and warm also means that the center of high pressure is also a barrier. watch the storm track. anything that comes close to that just gets destroyed. nothing can break through it. the rain is off because of that but the other thing the block is doing, watch how it is spinning clockwise. you see the wind pattern? as long as that is

sitting there, we are feeling the northerly winds. that is what you will feel primarily tomorrow. watch the screen light up. there is a wind advisory that goes through tomorrow afternoon. it will get better after tomorrow afternoon. let's focus on tomorrow afternoon for a second when these offshore winds, these northerly winds will be at their strongest. look at what they are doing across the bay. a lot of communities in the north bay will feel like a 20 to 30 miles per hour gust. look at mount st. helena, a 50 miles per hour gust going over the peaks. this is classic when we get into offshore winds and they start hitting the mountains with intensity. let's go to the east bay. mt. diablo has got close to a 40 miles per hour gust while all the lower elevations are looking at 30. when we color in where the wind advisory is, it makes perfect sense . north bay and east bay, if you look at

the bay itself, you don't have a wind advisory tomorrow. it will be a breezy day tomorrow. it won't be good for allergy sufferers because the pollen will have a great transport mechanism. you will be breathing in more stuff if you are an allergy sufferer because tree pollen is up. ash and alder are the two biggest ones right now. in addition to wind and pollen, watch the temperatures warm up. we are going from a little below average to temperatures that start climbing above average. that is the main thing we will notice when we look at the 7-day forecast. having set the stage for that, let's get into the seven day. as we look over here, in the parts of the bay are looking at daytime highs. read the fine print for thursday. a windy day. then, the temperatures climb a little more. technically the warmest day will be monday when we go to 75. some inland locations will be warmer than that. we

are generalizing inland valleys to show you the most notable part of the forecast. if you are in the bay, you will have to settle for low 70s. back to you. >> thank you. the future of tiktok is in jeopardy and that could affect the 170 million americans who use the app. house lawmakers overwhelmingly passed a bill that would banned the social media platform unless there is an ownership change. this comes amid concerns that tiktok parent company, the chinese owned bytedance, could pose a potential national security threat. >> americans need to ask themselves whether they want to give the chinese government the ability to control access to their data. >> tiktok influencers protested outside the white house, urging the president not to sign the bill. >> all we know how to do is dance. we are advocates for educators. if you want us to dance, we will dance. >> 90+ percent of my family's

income. >> a very divided house came together behind this bill. next, it goes to the senate where it's fate is unclear . president joe biden has said he would sign it if it gets to his desk. of this bill is getting support from both democrats and republicans so we asked a bay area expert on media studies, what is the motivation behind this move for them? >> the reason tiktok has been the focus of a lot of this legislation is twofold. one, the republican party has been pretty hawkish on china. that is why they are focusing on a chinese company. i think that democrats , typically they have not wanted to regulate or come down hard on big tech but recently , they have really been challenged by tiktok, particularly in the israeli gaza conflict. a lot of young people are getting information about that conflict from tiktok. a lot of the information runs counter to what the democratic party is

trying to do with that conflict. i think they see tiktok as a challenge to their legislative agenda. >> we will continue to follow developments on the future of tiktok. stay with us on and on our website, www.kpix.com and streaming on the free cbs news app. it will become the first new city in california in more than a decade. we will take you to mountain house and explain why it is one of the fastest-growing places in th

california is getting its first new city in over a decade and you may already know the name. mountain house is just outside of tracy in the san joaquin county. last tuesday, more than 90% of voters were in favor of incorporating. as wilson walker shows us, what was once a pit stop during the gold rush is now one of the fastest-growing places in california. >> i am originally born and raised in fremont . i have resided in mountain house for the last 10 years with my family. >> not only a mountain house resident, salah salah is a realtor who has put a lot of people in their very own mountain house homes and this is a community of homes that has famously seen a very wild ride. >> 2008, recession, mountain house was the most underwater community in the nation.

>> flash forward to the pandemic one homes here were jumping 20% in value in just six months. >> it is still affordable compared to the bay area but, since covid, prices have gone up. >> now, another building boom, the famously up and down town is about to become a city. >> from here over, the three of us will remain which is myself, bernice and andy. >> board member disko , about to become councilmember disko says councilmember is about control. >> we will have a sales revenue. we will have a local planning department who can issue rezoning and building permits, which is currently a county process. all of these things are now in our control. we don't have to ask permission from the county or increase our special taxes. >> more control will be critical as mountain house moves into another period of explosive growth with golf course plans getting scrapped for still more homes.

>> the retirement community, with all of this extra land, and developer's eyes, is a way that people are willing to live in single-family homes with an eight-foot gap between each other versus an entire golf course. a lot more development happening right now, especially across byron. >> the soon-to-be city is expanding in multiple directions. >> the bridge to nowhere, they are doing it. 5200 homes are slated to come over there. >> the hope is that incorporation will allow the city to grow while preserving what has drawn people here and driven up the prices. >> it helps the community as a whole to self sustain, to make more decisions for ourselves and our future and our children. >> a very young community here, average age is early 30s. population, a little over 29,000 with potential of 45,000 within 10 years. the incorporation becomes official

>> his cuisine centers around recipe develop from his grandfather's technique for making birria, a mexican meat stew. he started that concept out at a food truck , for three years now, he has been serving it at his restaurant in the mission. >> this is the food i want to make. if i want to continue to make the food i want to make and continue to be testing new items, new menus, that all costs time and money. >> at each step, he has to make a choice and for him, spending more money to get the best ingredients using additional time and labor is a must. an approach that earned some validation last fall when the san francisco chronicle named his burrito the best in the mission. a few days ago, one customer wrote online that they remember having it for half the price two years ago. they still loved the burrito but said for $22 plus tax, they would consider other options around the city. ricardo decided he wanted to write back. >> i thought, this is a great

time to respond on that. we were in the middle of just starting our service. i sat down and everything just came out. this is what it costs. >> and his lengthy explanation, he went over all of the changes in cost in the last two years. he pointed out that the price of beef has gone up more than $2 per pound and that is an additional $6000 a month. labor has also increased a couple of dollars in that time which is another $3000 a month. >> literally, everything. there is not one thing i can think of that has not gone up since covid that has come right back down. >> the customer also questioned if the article influenced him to raise the price and he says yes, not to make an extra buck but to help him manage his expenses. >> we literally want to stay in business. i am not trying to paper my ferrari or anything. i'm trying to keep the rent paid. >> that review of his burrito helped him realize he could charge more which, he hopes more people will now see as elevating the experience of a

city classic. >> folks in this town will pay 20 bucks for a hamburger so why not a burrito? >> let s take with a food theme. a san francisco restaurant just received a prestigious honor. seven adams has been added to the michelin guide. it is on the sutter street in the fillmore. it is run by a husband and wife team who got michelin stars for their last restaurant. they change their menu every season but if you want to try it out, you have to plan ahead. they open reservations up to 28 days in advance. still ahead, meet a hard-working dad on track to get his high school diploma. >> it does not matter if it is math or science or history or english but i am trying my best to do one semester every week. >> why the program is helping . i think my bracket based on statistics. >> i divide everything by the multiple of 68. >> picking a winner is so

to do one semester every week. >> cruz immigrated from mexico in 1989 as a teenager with only a middle school education. he never went to high school because he had to work and send money to his parents back home. he married, raised a family and never found time to go back to school but he frequently took his kids to the library to help them succeed and they became high school and college graduates. >> where is the school? >> it is between the library and the park. >> his daughter, who now works at ibm, volunteers at the library to teach english as a second language and it was at the library when his other daughter found out about the career online high school program and encouraged her dad to sign up. after years of getting turned down for better jobs because he had no high school diploma, estancia needed no convincing. >> i just applied to the program and they answered me right away.

>> the career online high school program has graduated 155 adults since 2016 and it has a 70% graduation rate, the highest in the nation for similar programs. full scholarships are awarded to each student and there is a waiting list to get in. unfortunately, the library's educational programs like this are in danger of downsizing for cuts. >> it is abysmal compared to our surrounding neighboring library systems. >> dawn coffin heads the library foundation which aims to raise $7 million a year to keep the high school program and others afloat. >> career online high school program is almost entirely funded. >> currently, you are about -- >> even the program's coaches like cindy, who checks in on the phone a few times a week our volunteers. >> i really need the certificate. >> estancia started his program about the same time his
