6:01 am
>> the recent uptick in the assaults on our staff is something i believe that we can handle internally. >> they're treating it like a common business where you can make simple cuts and simple staffing cuts. but when you do this in public safety, it affects people's lives. >> cuts, consequences, and chaos. what's causing violence behind bars in the bay? to have a beautiful store front or assets that help to cultivate that brand, it's only going to uplift other people. >> i feel like this is a neighborhood that's the last real san francisco. >> a new look for an old neighborhood. and the hope for a bay area business bounce-back. how designers hope tech will put the window to progress for struggling store fronts. what klay means to the franchise as good as he still is. we desperately want him back. >> i can never see myself not with those two guys. >> of course we want klay back. >> come on back, klay. is this the end of the big three
6:02 am
together in golden state? it's wednesday fans, let's do this. all right, just call klay right now and put him on the phone and say what's up? good morning, everybody, i'm reed cowan. >> i'm gianna franco. yes, klay you need to stay. we want to see you driving your boat across the bay to chase center like you have done so many times. making my plea. didn't go well for the warriors but you have to stay. >> if we were to call him right now he would say that game sucked. i sucked last night. i'm sorry, can we have a do-over? is it roadway wednesday and can it be tuesday again? this is the nightmare. are we awake? so warriors' season, sadly done. congratulations to the kings i guess. good luck. a live look outside on this wednesday morning. look at this beautiful view. and it's only going to get prettier today. right jessica? absolutely. i mean, yesterday you mentioned that you were out there and all that sunshine and you were able to get a tan in. and today that's going to be the case too. but it's going to be even warmer. daytime highs today, they're expected to hit the 80s in some of the inland pocket of the bay and wake up to a beautiful
6:03 am
start already down into the santa clara valley. you can see yellows and reds and blues in our sky this morning adds that sun starts to rise. and taking a quick look at the reason why we're dealing with so much warm weather and dry conditions too, we still have a system sitting just offshore kind of driving in the winds from the north. giving us a mix of sun and clouds throughout the afternoon today. just like yesterday but today we're going to crank up the heat little bit more. not by much but 80s return into the bay area near san jose and concord putting us close to around ten degrees above average there. 70s anywhere from san francisco across that beautiful bay bridge behind me. all the way over into oakland. so let's actually dive right back over there real fast and take a look at those local communities. and anywhere from napa, stretching all the way over into santa rosa, and sonoma, we're talking about upper 70s this afternoon. light winds moving in from the north into the afternoon hours too. to add to that we're also going to be seeing a mix of sun and clouds widespread throughout the bay with upper 60s along the coast and more clouds just along our coastline through the evening hours
6:04 am
tonight. tomorrow a repeat of the exact same forecast we have today and a little bit of a cooldown as we head into the weekend but not by much. i'm going to break that afor the for you coming up in just a bit. for now over to you, g. jessica thank you. taking a look at the roadways right now getting busier out there. few more brake lights at the bay bridge toll plaza with the metering lights on. no crashes through there. but looks like we are starting to get reports out of an accident. northbound 101 just south of oakland road. a couple of cars tangled up there. but the overview still looking pretty good along 880 in and out out of oakland. headed south of there fremont into the san jose area. traffic is moving well. it is slow though for that ride into the altamont pass. so supercommuters, you definitely have a little bit of a hefty travel time out of tracy working your way towards the dublin interchange. all right, g. new bay area protests over the war in gaza and this time, you see them here, google employees arrested over a sit-in inside their boss' office in sunnyvale. actually wanted the world to see this whole thing as the cops walked in. the protesters say they have a problem with
6:05 am
the google cloud project nimbus contract with the israeli government. and what started outside ended up inside the cloud ceo's office. that's trespassing according to police. who came in and arrested the protesters. this happened in both google offices in new york and california. we reached out to google from their perspective, the protest filly impeded other employees' work and that's a policy violation they say. the protesting employees are now on leave they say and their access to google systems is cut off this morning. by the way, the google protests over gaza follow the monday morning snarl of traffic as protesters shut down the 880 and golden gate bridge for hours likely you know somebody who was stuck in that. the protesters went to jail, but by this morning, more than two dozen are out. and in fact, before their release dozens gathered outside san francisco county jail and so far the 26 arrested have not been charged. >> we are here demanding that no charges filed and that
6:06 am
everybody's immediately released. >> what they're trying to charge them with, it is criminal to charge them. >> all right, so to be clear, none of the 26 arrested have been charged. da brooke jenkins says she needs more evidence. >> we have to be able to attribute specific conduct to specific individuals. so what role they played that they were one, present, that they were participating and that they were not simply an onlooker who happened to move forward into a crowded area. >> so as for the protesters who shut down 880 in oakland, that one is in the hands of alameda county da pamela price. we asked her office but so far, no answer back. we've got an update to the story of a body found at the alameda oakland estuary several weeks ago in the east bay. now there's a normal lowup. with the san pablo police department who says they found the dna evidence matches that of a missing woman connected to a murder investigation. so let's go back in time. in september, 74-year-old que tran on the right was first reported
6:07 am
missing by her son-in-law, this is him, 40-year-old phuc vo. also reported his wife tho ly missing and at the time, he told police the last time he saw the women was after a family fight. in fact he told them that the women left in his wife's car headed south to l. a.. but get this. two months after telling police that story, cops spotted him driving the very vehicle he said the missing women left in. well, that development got him arrested and facing two murder charges. so your update this morning, one body found while police search for the body of vo's wife. to another high-profile case. the sister of the man accused of stabbing to death cash app founder bob lee also facing a judge today. you are looking at video of kazar momeni sister of nima momeni answering to charges connected to a crash on gary street in november. she's charged with driving under the influence of drugs and two counts of hit and run possession and also possession of nitrous oxide which is something that's used
6:08 am
in doctors' offices for sedation. this case is not connected very clearly it is not connected to the bob lee stabbing case. let's look live at the state capitol in sacramento. so the basics of the bill would put more power in local leaders' hands to make their own rules for autonomous cars in your communities. that includes the ability to just ban them on our streets altogether. south bay state senator dave tour key zoo spotted the bill and it looks this morning like it has wide support and we're talking about support in oakland and san francisco. and san mateo counties. all right, also up at the state capitol the question, how do you feel about ditching dale light saving time? lawmakers considering that very question on the clock at @ capitol this morning. if a bill passes, and if it gets signed into law by governor gavin newsom all of us would stay on standard time year-round. the bill's author argues stopping the clock changes would keep us on a time schedule that's more closely aligned with our natural
6:09 am
circadian rhythm. what is that, nicole? we work the morning show. >> better sleep. sign me up. well, it's official. kate paye will lead the women's basketball program at stanford. she follows in tara vanderveer's footsteps after the coach announced last week that she would retire. paye is a former cardinal herself. and even helped the team win two of their three national championships. one as a player in 1992 and the other as an assistant coach for the team in 2021. we'll be there later this afternoon for her introductory press conference on campus. now taking a live look at chase center and you held out hope the dubs would go on another run this year but their season is officially over. fans were at thrive city last night to cheer on the our dubs. and their play in game with the kings up in sacramento. they left with disappointing looks on their faces. >> man. it's heart breaking, you know. it broke my heart, you know. but hey, it's still dub nation. still dub nation for life. you already know. i'll be here next season.
6:10 am
>> gosh. they just look miserable. that was kind of -- what we looked like in our homes as well. i guess we go to bed now. so for the second time in less than a year, the warriors and kings met up in sacramento at golden 1 center and it was a win or go home game. >> yeah, a much different story than last year's game seven. all right, turnovers didn't help the warriors from the start. de'aaron fox picks andrew wiggins' pocket and goes in for the easy slam. sacramento led by as many as 16 in the first half. but jonathan kuminga got on a run in the second quarter and the warriors finished the half on a 16-6 run and trailed just 54-50 at the break. so there nicole we had hope. >> steph curry scored 50 last year in game seven in sacramento. he had just five in the first half hof this one but early in the iii, curry buried a three and golden state down by just one at that point. the kings answered the run. ellis knocked down a triple midway through the third and then
6:11 am
sacramento really just pulled away there in the fourth and grabbed one of their 15 offensive boards. sabonis threw it down and he pushed the lead up to 17. and you know, the theme here though g is it really was a disappointing game for clay thompson. because with six minutes left, he missed a three. he was 0-10 went scoreless in this. back to him shortly. sacramento though, gets some revenge from last year's postseason. they blow out golden state, 118-94 final. wasn't even close and that's an end to your warriors' season. >> it's raw right now. just sitting here i mean, figuring out if i want to watch the playoffs or not. on april 16th i guess it's not -- this is unfamiliar territory. >> been really blessed here with some amazing players and, you know, multiple championships and finals appearances. and the highest of highs and this is the flip side. this is life. this is --
6:12 am
how it works. you don't you know, you don't get to stay on top forever. >> used to warriors' basketball going well into june. all right, well, now back to clay thompson. a lot of uncertainty about his future in golden state this morning. and with his free agency looming, the warriors are going to have to make a decision. it is a business. but his coaches and teammates are on his side. coach kerr said they need him back. curry saying he can never see himself without green and thompson by his side. green saying he doesn't leave thompson leaving would be the best for the franchise. or for the team as well. i know he didn't have the best game last night but having klay on the team and having steph and draymond. they're leaders and when you get, you know, some of the younger guys in, and there's you know, the team has changed in the last few years. it's really important to have these veterans there to, you know, be those mentors to the rookies and just to kind of pave the way a little bit. so when you are in the positions like a clutch game to get into
6:13 am
the playoffs, you show up. that didn't happen last night. i don't know what happened there. but. for the most part. >> what hasn't changed is this discussion with klay thompson. is he going to go? we've had it you know in years past and i think klay is the type of person where maybe he puts the stardom to the side because of happiness. really an opportunity cost right? he's happy in golden state. what's different though is they're not in the postseason. >> yeah. >> and so for him to look at it and you just heard steve kerr say you are not always going to finish on top. that's something that we're going to continue to track here. >> we know he can slay. needs to stay. that's the motto now. >> didn't slay last night. all right, 6:13. let's check in with shawn. >> reporter: hey gianna, good morning. we're talking about supporting small businesses here in san francisco's excelsior neighborhood this morning and how ai technology is helping to improve the store fronts. we'll explain coming up.
6:14 am
plus, powerful storms slamming the midwest. the frightening watch how easy it is to put on new hands free skechers slip-ins. i just step in and go. sitting? doesn't matter. i don't even have to touch them. ooo, gangsta. in a hurry? there's not a faster, easier way to put on shoes. they know a 10 when they see it.
6:15 am
6:16 am

6:17 am
a community project to support small business. our shawn chitnis is live this morning with more on how artificial intelligence helps revitalize really the look of businesses to get people back out on the block. shawn, what a cool story. >> reporter: hey reed, good morning. yeah, it's really cool to know that this design company is using ai to help create more inviting and attention getting store fronts. and what's really special about this, all of the businesses that hope to benefit from this are right next to each other so they can have that community feel. and we know this program is successful because they've already used it in other parts of the city as well as in spain. the appeal of the excelsior district to coffee shop owner lea sabado was in the history of this neighborhood. a chance to add her family's story to one of the most diverse communities in the city. >> i wanted to settle and lay roots and a foundation for myself as -- a woman of color. a multiracial background. and i
6:18 am
have kids now. >> reporter: when she and her husband saw the chance to build a business here, offering a coffee shop experience no one else was providing on this block, they went for it. >> hey, if we don't do it, someone else might. at least we can -- represent the cultures where we come from. and do it our way. >> reporter: and almost five years later, it's having an impact. some of their first customers are so loyal, they even own shirts that celebrate excelsior coffee. >> we love it. it's a very vibrant neighborhoods. tons of families here and just a super diverse group of people. >> reporter: so when the opportunity to get some help to dress up the store fronts on mission street came to businesses like lea's, many bet she jumped at the chance. you can see the impact already next door where a restaurant has new exteriors and interiors thanks to the freepik neighborhood design project. the company uses ai to help designers create renderings for
6:19 am
the revitalization work it's doing on this street. >> to have a beautiful store front or assets that help cultivate that brand, it's only going to uplift other people and garner attention and curiosity. >> reporter: the goal is to bring more people to the neighborhood. making it a place residents and visitors can gather while also increasing business for these stores. lea says for some shops, their facade tells their story and has to do the work of a website they may not have up and running yet. >> i feel like this is a neighborhood that's the last of real san francisco. >> reporter: a new look for an old soul in the city that residents and business owners believe has a charm and character worth preserving. so behind me is one of the businesses that has already benefited from it and then as well as excelsior coffee that hopes to be a part of it and it's coming at a good time for that business that wants to expand into roasting as well as offer more food and drink options at this location. and
6:20 am
we expect to learn more from the people who are running this project as they reveal additional details about how they're helping small businesses later today. reed, back to you. >> shawn, i see a sign that says doughnuts go hind you and that's about all i can see. >> reporter: that's one of the businesses. >> have you done it yet. >> glazed doughnuts. >> reporter: not yet but about to open. >> thank you my friend. well, thousands of people in the midwest that you see behind me here are bracing for another day of rough weather. they're cleaning up from damaging winds and possible tornadoes that swept several states. jessica has a look at this incredible storm video that we're seeing so far this morning. jessica? >> absolutely. this was wild to see. this funnel cloud right behind me was spotted in iowa moments of the tornado warnings were issued by the national weather service for that region. now weather officials say that multiple trained weather spotters reported visible rotation of a storm near salem in the southeast
6:21 am
part of the state. and take a look at this. here's a look at that storm as it move -- that system actually moved into nebraska. and now a tornado was seen forming near howell just about 90 minutes north of omaha and there were reports of large hail anywhere up to around 2 inches in diameter. damaging winds also anywhere up to around 70 miles per hour and as they were dealing with their very active weather there, take a look behind me. goshing we were dealing with some of the most gorgeous weather here in the bay area. waking up to a beautiful sunrise right now and a lot of warmth as we head into this afternoon. taking a look at the daytime highs real fast on average we're going to be about 15 degrees above average down into the santa clara valley this afternoon with 80s in sight. and 70s expected near san francisco. let's take a quick look at the rest of the bay area real fast. while we're doing that, 70s is expected today anywhere from napa over into sonoma. we're seeing 80s return into the bay area near concord and all the way down into the santa clara valley. it's a stunning day to get out there and get some fresh air, there's plenty to do here in the bay area and lot of outdoor
6:22 am
activities and of course you can even follow reed's footsteps and start gardening as we head into this week. now here's the good news too. we're going to see dry conditions as we last throughout this rest of the week and daytime highs still sitting above average. as we head into our week's forecast and winds are light sweeping from the north just arched 5, 10 miles per hour this afternoon. it's a stunning one for us today and i want to show you the next seven days because we're in for a treat right around the corner for us. let me drop real fast and let's take a look. daytime highs today and tomorrow are pretty similar. high pressure sitting just offshore and that's the reason why we're seeing these mix of sun and clouds but of course all these dry conditions lasting into the weekend forecast too. 80s are going to kind of drop off as we head into our weekend forecast though. the high pressure system slowly starts to move away and then notice this gradual cooling trend into the upper 60s by early next tuesday. so next workweek a little bit cooler but not by much and there's really not much to talk about when it comes to the forecast. there's not a lot of active weather in store for us. it's dry and it's beautiful. it's a great week to get out there and get
6:23 am
some fresh air, for now over to you. >> thank you, jess. taking a look at the roadways right now. this morning, as you get ready to head out the door and make that ride on some of the bay area bridges. and it's looking a little busy starting to slow down just a little bit for the ride as you work your way over towards the san mateo bridge. so this is the eastbound side here. this is for folks heading into hayward and this is the commute direction where we're definitely seeing more cars. this is for anyone traveling westbound working your way towards 101 and looks like right now not too many problems or issues at least as far ascrashes go. but certainly getting busier there. the uptick in volume on a lot of the freeway not just the san mateo bridge but also 880 southbound out of hayward working into fromont and of course the ride into the altamont pass there morning on 580. nicole? time now 6:23. brock to the rescue? the niners' quarterback does it all on the gridiron but his actions in san francisco off the field is gettin
6:26 am
back in february, we spotted 49ers' quarterback brock purdy starring in this john deere commercial in san francisco's bernal heights neighborhood. well, now it's gone viral for a wild reason. turns out our evening anchor sara donchey was in the area at the time walking her dog when the ad was being shot and then all of a sudden, she heard someone yell out a dog owner's worst nightmare. >> when i suddenly heard brock
6:27 am
scream coyote. and i turned around and i saw the biggest coyote i have ever seen sneaking up behind me and my dog. my dog is -- my dog is huge. he would have been fine. but when i walked back down the hill, one of the film crew guys said, hey, brock purdy saved your life. >> he did. >> not -- not exactly. but it's a good story to tell. >> well, if you didn't believe it then, brock appeared on the pat mcafee show yesterday. keep in mind, this was back in february. he talked all about it and he backed up the story on national tv. >> i didn't know san francisco had coyotes. what the hell is going on over there. >> i didn't either dude. we're shooting this commercial by a hill. on the outside of the city. and i see this thing, you know, trotting by with a long tail. sure enough no one was going to scream. and i screamed and i was like yo, there's a coyote. i can't remember that was a real thing but she walked by and she was a news anchor and i was like dude i just
6:28 am
saved a news anchor's life from being eaten by a coyote. it's real man. i can confirm it. >> what are the chances. >> such bravery from someone who's still not shaving yet. >> and in looking -- >> he's a baby to me. >> he is and in looking at that footage i think there was a brock number 2. >> a double. >> i saw that. >> in the car hart vest with the plaid. >> the one who sits there so brock doesn't have to come out on set yet. >> we need to keep brock in bubble wrap and win the super bowl. >> not do that. we got -- we're looking at new orleans down the road here. no, no. let's not do that. glad sara and her dog are safe though. caitlin clark is all the talk in women's basketball right now. just got drafted but her contract i
6:31 am
right now on cbs news bay area at 6:30 in the morning. it's that not a postcard? just beautiful there. golden gate bridge. headed up into marin. and looks like the marin headlands might have some of that magic jess, you were talking about that yesterday. >> oh my gosh, it's the best view ever right? just driving along that windy road and you open up out of that bridge and that tunnel actually and you see the bridge. just lighting in the skies. it's beautiful over there. and yeah, we have that fog right now. kind of
6:32 am
just floating along the marin headlands but that's going to bleed off fast this afternoon. and right behind me i mean we're already off to a pretty much clear start down into the santa clara valley where later today we're actually going to hit the 80s in the forecast for us. so high pressure is moving its way in. it's warming us up and it's drying us up and we're still going to get a mix of sun and clouds in the forecast for us today though. and as we head off into the east bay we're seeing a similar trend, 80s and 70s in store for us. 70s today in san francisco. this is one of the best weather days we've had in quite some time. so let's actually drop this real fast and i want to show you what it's looking like right around the corner. high pressure is going to continue to keep us dry this week. really not too much of a change at all. today and tomorrow 80s in the inland areas and that mix of sun and clouds lasting into the rest this week. a little cooldown heading into in weekend forecast but not by much either. today we're sitting about 13 degrees above average near san jose. san francisco, warming up about eight degrees above average. and this is actually a really nice treat. we had a very active winter and spring season so far when it came to all the atmospheric
6:33 am
rivers we've experienced so it's kind of nice when we see the rainfall average well above average for the whole bay area and we get the little dry break which is much-needed. we have a little bit of a cold front moving in next week. that's going to cool us off into the 60s once again for our inland areas but enjoy the warmth while we have it. today is the day to get out there and exercise and do any funnel activity and enjoy the sun too. for now over to you, g. jessica thank you. let's talk about the freeways right now. i want to start off with the live look from one of the caltrans cameras along the nimitz this morning. south 880 near paseo grande looking live. i'd get going. it's getting busy and starting to see that 880 commute thicken up a little bit. and some stop and go conditions if you are heading out of san leandro into hayward this morning. trying to get to the san mateo bridge. once you are on the bridge itself, it's still moving at an okay pace. but just by the looks of it though we're seeing a lot more cars making that ride westbound. we're going to check on the south bay coming up in the next report. taking a live look at the san francisco jail where a lockdown is in place until sometime today. meanwhile, the
6:34 am
lockdown at the san bruno jail won't be lifted until later this week. this, after there were multiple reports of inmates attacking staff over the weekend. the san francisco sheriff's department blames the recent spike in violence on staffing shortages and overcrowding at both county jails. now deputies and their union are asking the national guard for assistance. our katie nielsen has the sheriff's response to that. >> we don't feel that this is a exigent circumstance that would require that at this time. the recent uptick in the assaults on our staff is something i believe that we can handle internally. >> reporter: increased violence in the san francisco county jails is something both the deputies' union and the sheriff agree on. both acknowledge the situation has gotten worse. in 2023, there were 240 reported inmate fights, a 58% increase from the year before. what they don't agree on is the cause. sheriff paul miyamoto says inmates are getting more violent due to the jails
6:35 am
getting overcrowded, now that the pandemic protocols have eased. >> there's insufficient space for us to be able to spread those individuals out and create a more calm environment for people to reside in our housing units. >> reporter: but on saturday, the union president sent a letter to the sheriff requesting the deployment of the national guard to temporarily supplement current staffing levels. saying quote -- our current staffing levels are insufficient to support the well-being of our personnel. according to numbers provided by the sheriff's department, there are almost 1200 inmates in san francisco's jails on any given day. there's supposed to be about 500 deputies assigned to the jails, but due to staffing shortages, there are currently 364 working. >> although we are short-staffed, we don't believe that it is one of the primary factors. >> reporter: the sheriff says they will be addressing the violence in a number of ways, including lockdowns, like these that went into place over the weekend, as well as increased communication with inmates
6:36 am
within the pods and continued discussion among command staff in terms of de-escalation techniques. he also acknowledged the inmate population is becoming increasingly difficult. >> those that remain in custody here in san francisco are mostly serious violent offenders who are charged with serious violent crimes and who remain in our custody for extended lengths of time. >> we asked the union president why there's such a disconnect on the root cause of the problem. he believes it's all about the money. >> they're treating it like a common business where you can make simple cuts or simple staffing cuts, but when you do this in public safety. it affects people's lives. lives are in danger. >> he also said understaffing leads to deputies working mandatory overtime which in turn leads to burnout. so even the deputies who are there aren't always at their best. update the viewers on a police response to two deadly shootings in downtown napa that
6:37 am
happened over the weekend. three people caught and cuffed and they are waking up in jail this morning. this, while the families of two women plan funerals. we've learned some type of confrontation on the street ended in gunfire. the other rushed to a hospital but later died. one woman died right there. so far we have no idea why just a simple argument escalated to gunfire but police are this morning drilling down for answers and solutions. we'll keep you posted. let's jump the map and go to new york now. where finding an impartial jury against former president donald trump has been difficult. but new this morning, attorneys say they have finally seated seven jurors. it's made up of four men and three women to consider trump's innocence or guilt in the case. opening statements could begin as soon as monday. trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying documents to cover up payments to secure silence over an affair with adult film star stormy daniels in the runup 2016 election.
6:38 am
a lot of people in san jose are rallying to keep the local trauma center from closing. jose martinez was there as a former patient said that it likely saved her life to have the hospital so close. >> reporter: sharon martinez told the crowd at tuesday's board of supervisors meeting she might not be here today if the east san jose regional trauma center hadn't been there for her back in 2019 when she suffered a brain hemorrhage. >> i had a stroke. and i told my husband to call 911. >> reporter: she says the fact that her house in milpitas is less than 15 minutes away from the hospital was a game changer. >> it -- the surgeon that operated on me told me that when he first saw me, he didn't know he could save me. so it was -- i was going. excuse me. and i want -- want
6:39 am
them to hear what they're doing is not going to work. because they will try to do everything far away. there's not that much time. >> reporter: she's urging regional not to go through with the plan to close its trauma center in august. the hospital says it's not seeing enough patients to justify keeping it open. that will leave valley medical center, about 20 minutes away, as the next closest option for patients like sharon and her husband, benjamin. >> we feel that we have a -- a medical support system out there that can help us if something goes wrong. i don't know what's going to happen if something happens to me. >> we won't have any help. >> reporter: a county report shows regional sees nearly 2500 trauma patients a year. shutting down the trauma center would mean patients experiencing emergencies like heart attacks or strokes would have to travel much farther for care. >> this is a public safety issue for the entire community. it directly impacts the people

who live, work and play around the east side of san jose near the regional medical center. because that's the closest emergency room, that's the closest level 2 trauma center, and it's the closest place you can go to get stroke intervention. so that's why it's such a big impact there. but all of those patients will have to go to other emergency rooms -- >> the other option, stanford, is even further away. at least 45 minutes depending on traffic. >> the closure of those services will cause an immediate cascade of negative effects, not only for the communities around regional, which will be most impacted, but for the whole county. increased demand for transfers out of their emergency department, more need for ambulances, longer wait times, congestion over there, as paul was saying. and our shared community and its most vulnerable members will be disproportionately affected are communities of color, and those with less socioeconomic means. >> reporter: for now, sharon

panel yesterday that data doesn't give him confidence. time now for a look at what's cup later on "cbs mornings" and tony dokoupil joins us live from new york. good morning to you tony. what do you have on tap. >> i am. good morning nicole. coming up on "cbs mornings" a big fear for parents and the number of young children being abused and exploited online. that number is rising and only on "cbs mornings" homeland security secretary mayorkas will be in studio to announce a brand new federal effort to educate kids and prevent the terrible crimes. plus you probably remember her from the hit show "one tree hill." the actress will stop by with a preview of the new season of her crime dock you series about small crime america. it's called true crime story. couldn't happen here. two of the most iconic entertainers are going to be here as well. wayne brady and debra cox are teaming up for
6:46 am
revival of the iconic broadway masterpiece the wiz. they join us with a new twist on the ground-breaking musical late aeromovie and wayne brady isplaying the michael jackson role. all that and more coming up at 7:00. >> all right tony. thank you. well, meanwhile, caitlin clark is all the talk of the wnba right now. the indiana fever drafted the iowa superstar with the number one overall pick this beak. >> yeah, she's a big part of why supership of the draft was the highest for any wnba telecast since 2000. >> a flash point because a lot of you are waking up to learn just how much she will make on her contract. it's a rookie contract. but let's look at this and drill down. you might think she's going to get millions. right? four years, $338,000. in fact, in 2024, $76,535. that's not enough to even buy a one bedroom house in san francisco. so pretty crazy. this is all according to the
6:47 am
wnba's collective bargaining agreement. that base salary is well below six figures and less money than somebody paid for one of her basketball cards at the auction house pwcc. >> okayment so let's put this all in perspective. here's what the number one overall pick in the nba draft last year is making. spurs' phenom well yea ma got a four year, $55 million contract. so he is making over $12 million in the first year. so we should note that clark is going to make a lot more money through endorsements and other deals of course. you know, front office sports reports her current sponsorship deals are around $3.1 million. but even ice cube offered her millions to play in the big three league. but the salary difference in the nba and the wnba is definitely getting a lot of attention. especially on social media. >> yeah, bay area congressman ro khanna put up this post. commenting on the disparity between clark and the first pick in the nba draft. he says in part, pay women what they
6:48 am
deserve. and pittsburgh steelers' quarterback russell wilson also commenting. he posted, these ladies deserve so much more. praying for the day. >> even president joe biden commenting on the issue, posting, women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all but right now we are seeing even if you are the best, women are not paid their fair share. i'm so glad to see the president talking about this because i think it not only informs equal pay for women in sports but also in all areas of corporate america. >> and i'm glad that he pointed out even if you are the best, because she's not only the best, but look at the national championship game. it drew more viewers than the men's game like what more can she do? when i saw the numbers this morning, like 338. that's too bad. i thought that was the annual salary. >> me too. >> that's a four year contract. >> yeah. >> i think you know, you make a good point here because they are bringing in viewership which brings in revenue. and sponsorships. that's where the wnba. that's where march madness and college hoops are right now. people might make the argument it was not always
6:49 am
like that. okay fine. but it is now. so why -- why are we not seeing that difference? why are we not seeing that push now that wnba's clearly that -- it's leveled up. i mean, it's like -- in the sense of as far as attention. it's always been amazing the players have been amazing but as far as people paying attention. >> do we know that's going to happen in the wnba? i almost wonder if they have escalators in the contract or incentives where we know she was able to do that on the national stage. at the collegiate level. is he able to have that magic in the wnba as well and be compensated if so. >> what happens right now from the level of the athlete down to the agents in the room making the argument that will make history and so it will be really fascinating. okay, tomorrow marks 118 years since san francisco's great earthquake of 1906. we know this from the footage devastation all around. because several of the fires followed that 7.9 quake. it took days to put the fires out. and you
6:50 am
know, after that, a lot of builders said let's use concrete as the base of the buildings. some of which are still around today and in fact many, they felt like it was resistant to fires and that's why they started using concrete here. however, its also made a lot of these buildings lack flexibility which could make them even more susceptible to collapse during a strong shake. get this, yesterday in the midst of her mayoral push, mayor london breed asked certain departments within the city to really identify and list the concrete buildings that could collapse or at risk overclaiming during an earthquake. come up with some retrofit standards is the goal here. >> there are two types of concrete buildings we're talking about here. the first are concrete buildings that don't have enough steel within the concrete, within the columns, so you need the steel within the concrete that allows the concrete to move. the other type of concrete building that we have is what we call tilt ups. it's really where the roof is attached to the walls. when you tilt up the buildings,
6:51 am
those roof connections are not always as strong as they should be. >> well, the city thinks there may be as many as 3400 buildings that might be in that risk zone or danger zone. they can be found anywhere from downtown to parts of the tenderloin and even into historic chinatown. all right, so check out this cool story. san francisco firefighters showing off what they call the most effective tool trying to find you if you are caught in a disaster. >> we want to introduce you to barney. he is one of four search and rescue dogs that can be literally dropped into action during emergency situations. >> yeah, these canines can search for up to 20 minutes at a time. and we saw barney use those skills and of course earned himself a treat in the process. >> cheese is like the hidest reward i can give him but also be very mindful of what we feed them. we don't want them looking for food rather than looking for people you know. >> now this was not actually his first line of work. he was actually bred for service work. but unfortunately, barney failed out of the service dog program and it's okay though because since then he found his
6:52 am
new calling with the national search dog disaster foundation. >> i love it so much. >> looks like chopper. >> his buddy. >> giving chopper vibes absolutely. chopper is way too lazy to do any of the hard labor though. if you want to take the dogs out for a walk today, today is the day to do it. we're off to a beautiful start down into the santa clara valley. as the sun starts to rise over us. we're sitting in the 80s this afternoon for our daytime highs and anywhere from san jose over into los gatos. upper 70s near redwood city and if you live along the coastline, a little bit cooler for us and we have that nice coastal breeze bringing in 60s into this afternoon near half-moon bay. upper 70s across the beautiful golden gate bridge into novato and petaluma and san francisco. today and tomorrow are very similar. this is the time to do it. if you want to get out there and find new trail, if you want to get out there and get so much fresh air this afternoon after work
6:53 am

6:54 am
heading into this weekend. gianna? how's the traffic looking? actually looking, you know, so so. we're getting a little closer to the 7:00 hour. uptick in volume on the roadways. that's reflective especially along the freeways like in nimitz southbound 880 live look here and you can see at paseo grande just a little bit crowd there had this morning for commuters working their way maybe going to the san mateo bridge. once there. eastbound looking good and it's westbound where you are seeing just a little more volume and definitely now brake lights as you work your way a little closer to 101 into the foster city side. 101 itself is clear in both directions. no brake lights or issues right here. but south of there, we are tracking some slow speeds for the ride out of san jose this morning. north 101 right at oakland road. we're seeing a bit of backup here because of a crash. looks like we've got a couple of cars tangled up there approaching the 880 connector. so give yourself some extra time traveling through there. 280 starting to get a little bit busy through downtown san jose. i'm not sure if that's a good option anymore. consider using 87 or leave a little
