>> this is absolutely unprecedented. this has never happened in my lifetime. >> including at uc berkeley's commencement ceremony today, how the graduates used the opportunity to get their message across. and after last night's rare northern lights display over the bay area, how likely are we to get another show tonight? 19 journalists died covering world war ii, 63 died covering the vietnam war, and in gaza, 140 journalists have been killed just since october, easily making this the deadliest war on record. i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. even more have been arrested, injured, or are missing, which is what brought dozens to the embarcadero this afternoon in san francisco. our amanda hari spoke to someone who lost a loved one while they were reporting in the west bank. >> reporter: people here say that reporting the news shouldn't be a death sentence. they're trying to remember all of the journalists and media professionals who have already been killed but also raise

awareness to prevent more people from dieing in the future. >> it's an ongoing, intentional targeting of journalists. >> reporter: the loss of life in the west bank continues to be felt around the world. according to gaza's government media office, more than 140 journalists have been killed since the conflict started on october 7th. jennifer says journalists have been targeted for much longer than that. her cousin was killed two years ago. >> she was hardworking, honest, compassionate, funny, very funny. she had a great sense of humor. she really cared about every story she did, every -- she investigated it. she learned everything she could. >> reporter: she was an american citizen covering news in the west bank. she was out reporting a story when she was shot and killed.

>> she was with her colleagues in full press gear walking on a street. there was no fighting. there was no anything. they went towards the military vehicles to identify themselves, and as they were walking back, they -- her colleague was shot and then she was shot in the -- by a sniper in between her press jacket and her press helmet. >> reporter: she says her cousin was a well known journalist, and she believes her death was targeted. and she continued to be targeted after her death. >> they attacked the pallbearers and they beat them so badly with the batons that they almost dropped the casket that she was in. and her family was afraid that they would take the body because the israelis have been known to take palestinian bodies and hold on to them. >> reporter: she is one of the organizers of the vigil and procession. she says she wants to create space to grieve on the anniversary of her death, as well as the other

journalists who have died. >> this is absolutely unprecedented. this is like more journalists than were killed in the second world war. >> reporter: she says during this conflict is exactly the time journalists are most needed. the fbi has opened an investigation into her death. it's still ongoing. >> what we want is justice for her. we want a thorough investigation. we want the people who are responsible held accountable. >> reporter: people here say they're going to continue to fight for palestinian journalists and everyone who is living in palestine right now. >> free, free, palestine. >> across town at the university of san francisco, students continued their calls for the school to divest all business related to israel or to the war in gaza. protesters saying their most recent meeting with the school's president was disheartening. >> the blatant disrespect from father fitz after i gave my

testimony about what it's like to be a palestinian specifically to this school. he said i was disrespectful. i told him check himself and then he left. >> attention now turns to their commencement ceremony scheduled for next week. so far the university said that everything will go on as scheduled. >> uc berkeley held their commencement today. the celebration didn't stop hundreds of students from protesting the war in gaza. >> and as da lin report, the demonstration was received with mixed reactions from the crowd. >> reporter: many of the new grad watts did not have a normal high school graduation four years ago because of the pan dem you can, so this commencement was supposed to help make up for some of that lost experience. hundreds of pro-palestinian protesters in cap and gown made loud noiseses a thousands of people at

memorial stadium celebrated the graduating students. >> i'm proud that my peers feel they can have a voice here at berkeley. it wouldn't be berkeley without protests, right? >> reporter: roommates angelina and sydney say they support free speech. many students say it was is somewhat expected. they're just glad cal moved forward with the commencement. they were fearful of a cancellation. >> berkeley's a very social justice-oriented school. i think perfect includes social justice in the ceremony. >> reporter: angelina and sydney say they did a drive-by graduation back in 2020, so having their parents, siblings, and friends here made the day very special. >> having that connection, being able to give my parents a hug, to be able to give my friends hugs. >> i'm first generation, so i think that this is like really important for my family.. >> reporter: berkeley administrators have prepared by adding more security.

chancellor carol chris acknowledged the victims from both sides of the war. she says she's saddened the conflict divided students and staff. hundreds of protesters stood in one sx to chant divest and hit the metal bleachers with their shoes. they made it hard at times to hear the speakers. >> they need to know our presence on campus. we're not going to stop. we're going to continue to be a headache. we're going continue to disrupt. >> reporter: they were no counterprotests, but some students held up israeli flag, and some say the disruption was distasteful. >> we're here for our family. they worked hard. they worked hard during covid time, and now they're not getting to graduate peacefully. it's a little disappointing. >> i don't think to disrupt this moment is respectful for people who have worked so hard. >> reporter: many students say it's okay as long as no violence. >> having a college graduation is a super big deal, very important. so i think we're just excited to have this moment. >> we're ready to just celebrate, have a good time,

and have a peaceful sl bra tour day. >> reporter: angelina and sydney say even with the extra fireworks, the commencement ended on a positive note to wrap up their four years at uc berkeley. >> i'm just so happy. there's no other words for me. >> i'm just so happy getting to be with my loved ones. >> reporter: the 90-minute ceremony ended without any arrests. berkeley officials say while the protest was loud, it was peaceful. >> meanwhile, israel's war cabinet has approved a new military action in rafah, meaning more than 100,000 people in rafah have to find a new place to flee. as hamas releases a new video saying a 51-year-old british hostage was killed in a recent israeli air strike. putting even more pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu as protests outside his home in jerusalem continue to grow, families of the hostages are demanding more be done to rescue their loved one, including a ceasefire with hamas. but hamas says ceasefire talks are back at square one

after israel rejected its proposal last week. and now to a crisis playing out up and down the cost of california. wildlife centers across the state, including here in the bay area, says that they have been overrun with starving brown pelicans. more than 100 birds have been brought in to the international bird rescue center in fairfield. say the pelicans are starved and dehydrated. animals mostly are coming from monterey or down in santa cruz to be taken care of. >> some of them are coming in less than half of the body weight that they're supposed to be. so imagine a human going through that. you know, you're supposed to weigh 150 pounds, you're coming in at 75 pounds, you're going to be having some severe problems. >> any pelican acting strangely or listless should be reported immediately to local animal control. if you're interested in donating or volunteering, there is a link to the center on our website, kpix.com. still to come tonight at 11:00, we celebrate a special

anniversary at a san francisco landmark. and we'll get a look at the best video from last night's aurora over the bay area and see if there's anymore in store for tonight. >> we're going to take a look at the forecast on that. it's not exact, but i'll give you my best guess. then we're going to talk about actual weather. about to get cooler. forecast coming up. ♪ ♪ get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. ♪ ♪ ♪ (ominous music) ♪ come on. what can i do to help you? dad: come on buddy. headphones. what! dad: hey! dad: ok all right. what do you wanna do? i said i don't wanna talk about it! dad: trey! what are you doin'? ♪ (ominous music) ♪

well, people across north america, as you know, this weekend are getting a rare view of the northern lights because the sun spat out a flare a few days ago, and it's interacted with earth. that's the result. those are pictures from last night in solano county, lake tahoe, and in modesto. >> and check out this 360 camera video of the aurora over glen allen in sonoma county. it was sent from a viewer, terry fall, giving us a very unique perspective on last night's show. >> i don't know what it is either, but it looked kind of nice. >> interesting. >> looked like a little cell hanging there. >> all right, the space weather prediction center says it could be visible as far south as alabama. >> by it we're talking about the northern light, and max darrow has some of the sights from the skies last night. >> in awe. >> reporter: it's hard to put words to a sight like this. >> i just couldn't believe it.

>> reporter: but this is what javier mendoza saw from mount hamilton on friday night, a stunning rare display of the northern lights. >> it just made my passion for astronomy a little bit more solidified. >> reporter: mendoza is a grad student at san jose state. he shared his enthusiasm with professor aaron. >> and this is the most impactful event in 20 years. it's just a fantastic hands-on learning experience for the students. >> reporter: beautiful auroras seen in these photos taken in marin and seen across much of the world stem from a geomagnetic storm reaching earth. >> and this is about as strong as the solar familiars get, so it's a beautiful experience. nothing too dangerous because we have our magnetic field protecting us around the earth. >> reporter: distinguished professor of astronomy alex took these photos from orinda. >> the red auroras are actually more rare than the green auroras, and so that was really quite special for me to see such an intense red aurora.

>> reporter: but along with the beauty comes potential for problems for us on earth with telecommunications and power systems. >> when these particles come in, they twang our magnetic field. it's as though you hit a bell with a hammer, and so it vibrates. and the vibrating magnetic field lines of earth then induce electric currents that go streaming along the power lines, especially the long distance lines, okay? and then when those currents reach transformers at local power stations, they can short circuit the transformers because they're not used to such intense currents. >> reporter: one more look at the skies, mendoza is hopeful this rare celestial event will be a source of inspiration. >> hopefully, you know, this makes an impact to especially our younger generation to pursue, you know, some field in s.t.e.m. >> reporter: so if you missed it last night, you still may be in luck. both professors believe you should be able to

see some auroras tonight, though the show just might not be as dramatic as it was last night. you'll have to look north at around midnight to 1:00 in the morning. your eyes may not be able to pick up on a ton of color, but if you take a long exposure photo with your phone, just two to three seconds, the colors will likely emerge. >> boy, you thought it was difficult just forecasting the weather. >> i know, right? >> this is a tough one. >> forecasting space weather has been a thing. update to what max had to say, or an addendum to that. national weather service here, which is a local science network that would be tied into this almost as much as the space agencies, put out a tweet where they're saying between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. may be more likely. i'm going to show you what what the cloud cover is going to look like then, but the bigger question is is the aurora as visible as last night. and most of the pictures, it doesn't look like

that. >> it's enhanced, right? >> iphones do that naturally now. sophie had great pictures from marin last night. they looked spectacular. today she said, yeah, the reality is i only saw about 25% of that in real life and the phone pulled out a lot of the rest of the the tails. keep that in mind. lest do analysis on this. that's last night. you're looking at what noaa does for their space weather forecasting. the deep red is almost certainly. the light green is yeah, maybe you'll see it. that was last night's forecast. they didn't even have us in it last night, and you could still see it. even though it wasn't spectacular, you could see it subtly with the naked eye. want to see what tonight looks like? that's their forecast. so it's a little less, a little less intense. that's where things left off on, this but it doesn't mean you can't already see it, because pictures are already starting to filter in on social media

which don't look quite as impressive as last night. let's talk about the clouds, how is that going to play out? we've pulled the marine layer over for the city and immediate east bay. those are locations that wouldn't be able to see this anyway. you need to get rural. but as we watched those most important time, like let's say 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., you can see how the clouds start filling in even a little more here. so now we're just going to move on to the weather. you're going to wake up tomorrow, and it's may gray. that is your sunday morning. and sit -- we're getting to the middle of may, and this is the season for it. so classic setup for tomorrow. may gray begins the morning, and then by the time we get to noon, it's melted back and you're looking at clouds over the immediate, the city, and the east bay and that does start a cooldown for us. here's a comparison. those are sunday's daytime highs. if you look inland, those numbers in the low 80s were in the upper 80s today. so we're finally going to start cooling the temperatures down for inland parts of the bay. everybody else already started the cooldown. now let me show you

where we're going to be by the time we get to friday. noticeably cooler. back down to average, in fact, for most locations. there is cooler air coming our way. you can see the heat risk map. that was today. here's tomorrow. and then here is monday. and i just wanted you see the progression on that. when you're in the orange, you're at a moderate level for heat-related health impacts. by monday there isn't any of that. it's just yellow, which is minor, you don't even have to think about it. seven-day forecast shows you how things play out. not a whole lot of change. san francisco and oakland, oakland around # 0 degrees for the next seven days. north bay close to 80. busan jose, santa clara valley, you will be mid-80s for much of the next seven days. monday you'll be cooler into the upper 70s. inland east bay will be low 8 #130s. when you look at the coast, you'll be sitting in the low to mid-60s. matt, over to you. >> thanks, darren. coming up in sport, a's look to avoid dropping back-to-back series.

and a bird in san francisco stole the

while i wouldn't be seeking it out myself, they do say if you are pooped on by a bird, sit a sign of good luck. and for the san francisco giants, they should feel grateful the park is a zoo for seagulls. on saturday a bigger bird was doing its best to change their fortunes. >> that's not just a bird, though, that's a big, big bird. >> oh, he's out of here. >> he's showing off right now. little wingspan. >> oh, safe to say the pelican was having the day of its life out there. as for the game, giants jumped out early. first inning, how good is this to

see? matt chapman finds the barrel, and with two outs and the bases loaded leaves the park in sen for field. it's his fifth home run of the your. the grand slam made it 4-0 giants. and from there the defense stepped up in a major way. top of the fifth, shallow fly ball to left field. it could have been trouble, but look at the hustle from elliot ramos. leaping grab saved the giants from the trouble, and that's all that mason black could say was thank you. then in the sixth, one runner on with two outs, we've got a hard hit ball to right field, and it bounces off the arcade. it's never what you want to see out there, but mike yastrzemski was prepared, and he said not today as he sniped down the runner to end the inning. giants went on to win 5-1, split the series, and they set up a rubber match on sunday. a's in seattle looking to finally get their first road win in a couple of weeks. third inning, brent rooker hits one to opposite field. it's just in that no man's land spot. and it was enough to send in

the runner from second. rbi base knock for rooker gave the a's an early 2-1 lead. still a one-run game in the eighth. bases loaded for mac shoeman, and he seized the moment. lasered down the left field line. it's all trouble. three runners come home to score. a's won 8-1. they're going to play for the series on sunday. after a blew tal march and april, the san jose quakes have been playing better as of recent, picking up a win against the oakland roots on tuesday and looking far win in colorado on saturday. rainy conditions in the rockies for this match. colorado led 2-1 at the end of the first half, but in the 51st minute after the corner kick rookie lopez capitalizes and knocks in the equalizer to tie it at 2-2. then in the 66th minute, christian espinoza gets free on the breakaway and he sticks it in the net for the go-ahead goal. quakes win 3-2. that's back-to-back wins for san jose. still ahead, a pivotal game

three in the nba playoff, and it was the veteran squad that prevailed on saturday. and moving day at the wells fargo championship at quail hollow. rory mcilroy setting the stage for an interesting sunday. at the

welcome back, the warriors are getting ready for the nba lottery on sunday. they are the 14th lottery team and they have a 0.07% chance of winning the first overall pick. if they don't fall within the first four picks, their first rounder is given portland. luka having some fun pregame as the mavs look to take a 2-1 series lead against the one seed thunder. first quarter, dallas up three. luka steals it, takes it straight to the hoop himself. he had 22 and a double-double. few moments later, three-point game, kyrie irving showing off the handles then goes cross court, gets the bucket. he had 22 as well. they don't look back. they win 105-101, and the mavs take the series lead. in golf, third round of the wells fargo championship in charlotte, north carolina. rory mcilroy had this dialled in on moving day. here he was, the

corner of battery, became famous for becoming the first station to broadcast in california period. so darren, we were first. >> we were first. >> any chance? what do you think? >> of the aurora? it's going to be cloudy. it's going to be cloudy in all the places where you wouldn't be able to see it anyway. you've got to get rural. get rural. >> happy mother's day eve. >> okay, - [narrator] behold the new churro twists at round table pizza, our most decadent dessert, baked in a flurry of cinnamon sugar and paired with a sumptuous caramel dip. an odyssey of flavor just- - enough fine words. this feast cannot wait! - right. available for a limited time only at round table pizza.
