and thank you for joining us this morning. we are so glad you are here and it's thursday, may 16th. >> let's get started.

>> every single person who has died in san francisco on a bike deserves to be remembered. they're not just a number or a name. they're a whole person. >> moving memorial honoring the victims of bay area bikers killed on our roads. to see what's going on in san francisco or the picture that's painted of san francisco versus the reality of san francisco, i know i'm actually putting the paint to the canvas as a testament to what's really going on. >> outsiders painting san francisco with a broad brush. how an artist builds bridges to understanding about his neighborhood. ♪ ♪ it is something very loud. very powerful. very much in your face. [ laughter ] as far as being -- reclaiming their voice, claiming their heritage. >> and in the south bay, ancient sounds and modern times claim a space for future generations. so fantastic to

hear that this morning. good morning, everybody, i'm reed cowan. we hope the drum beat in your heart says you can. we're glad you are with us. >> i loved how in sync they werewhen they were doing the drums. i'm gianna franco. a live look outside on what you can expect as you head out and get the thursday started. and you know last hour we showed a couple of different cameras where you can see the clouds and hovering over the bay. and it's still kind of the same thing. i'm kind of hoping that they sort of drift away, jessica. clouds, clouds, go away. like the rain. right? but it is cool and it is cloudy out there. you can barely see salesforce tower. keep the mind salesforce towertops off around 1,000 feet and right now the cloud layer is right around there hanging out. luckily visibility at the surface level is not bad. this morning no issues on roads. getting into the city. however, i will say these cloudy skies definitely don't make for the most beautiful photos by any

means, this is may gray in full force. for anyone who's visiting from out of town, this is a very normal thing during this time of year for us. to see the cool and cloudy mornings and the cool and cloudy conditions last into the afternoon hours along our coast but we will dry up a lot more in our inland areas seeing plenty of sun into this afternoon. so small day-to-day changes are expected for us and as we head into the weekend which is actually good news in case you have any outdoor activities that you didn't want canceled. keep in mind, gosh, the past couple of months it was weekend after weekend of rain or storms moving in from the gulf of alaska. now just dry and clear conditions. sunny skies into the afternoon hours. for bay to breakers on sunday. for all of the friends going out there and other than that, a similar trend for us today. this morning lasting into this afternoon. we warm up into the 50s and 60s. in san francisco. along the peninsula, down into half-moon bay. and redwood city. yesterday we topped off in the 80s all throughout the east bay near antioch and concord and today mid- to low 70s in the forecast near

concord and walnut creek. it's a beautiful sunrise just above this cloud layer and we cannot see it right now but here's the black mountain cam. kind of shaky right now. little bit breezy in the higher elevated areas. the more south we go down into san jose and los gatos. beautiful day with 70s in the forecast. over to you, g. taking a look at the roadways as you get ready to head out the door. and here's a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. already backing up for a think drive heading into san francisco. 6:03 metering lights are officially on and you can see it's pretty slow for that commute through there. now we are seeing some slow and go conditions across westbound 80 into richmond and a crash southbound 880 right at whipple and that's causing a pretty big backup for commuters coming out of hayward this morning. so keep that in mind if you are working your way towards the san mateo bridge. you are going to see some extra busy conditions. well, developing overnight. uc berkeley a group of protesters faken over this. it's a condemned building on campus. the university claims they are a group of activists that are separate from the free

palestine encampment that lasted for weeks on campus and reportedly disbanded yesterday. shawn chitnis is live this morning on the uc berkeley campus and shawn, what do we know about the people in the building and are they still there? >> reporter: hey reed, good morning, we can start to see some folks coming out of their tents and we are still trying to learn a little bit more about what has brought them out here. but i will tell away so you can see the situation this morning where not only are there the tents but there are also signs that have been put up on the building as well as palestinian flags. now this is all a block away from people's park. which remains closed with shipping containers and security on all sides of that location. but you can see here what has developed just a block away. now we're told about 20 people set up on the lawn of this burned out building overnight. it's the alumnae hall. the university says they

appear to be people's park protesters because it's to a 55th anniversary of a protest that happened at the park and that's why they decided to move on this particular building. this coming though as the encampment at uc berkeley related to israel-hamas war was taken down on tuesday. protesters reached an agreement with the school. the university saying that they would look into their investments to see if they align with the school's values. and the chancellor also saying that she would personally call for a ceasefire in gaza. so again, while we wait to learn more about exactly what has happened here, it's important to note that while the university has explained that this would be separate from that encampment, we do see those palestinian flags throughout the positioning of those tents and the building behind me. reed, back to you. >> all right, shawn chitnis reporting the story up north. now let's look at what's going on down south. the sights and sounds of a

clash at uc irvine after protesters there in southern california clashed with riot police. they were trying to stop a takeover and a barricade situation inside a science lecture hall. uc irvine canceled all classes following the protest yesterday and they're angry about word the university suspended protesters who were on a negotiations team and authorities broke down an encampment housing hundreds of protesters on campus. the school described the protest as violent but did not say what type of violence they are citing. protesters wanting to get the attention of the university regents meeting at uc merced inside those meetings, regents are debating whether professors and staff should be barred from posting their views about the war in gaza on campus websites. university officials across the nation face congressional pressure to set boundaries on political speech that could appear to represent the official stance of universities. also monitoring an encampment at the university of san francisco. you see it here by hind me where graduation

ceremonies are slated to start on campus this afternoon. so a deadline to disperse came and went and protesters dug in their heels and held a rally and they're not moving. administrators say they are not planning though to remove the protesters by force. but they do warn students in this crowd could face academic repercussions. and now in the south bay, the artist who created that famous statue the black power statue on the campus of san jose state, is showing his support for protesters who set up an encampment in the is that doe of the statue. the artist rigo 23. he's known for murals and political art there in statue area. and he had this to say about those protesters gathering at the victory salute statue. >> i wanted san jose students, you know, from 2005 into the future, to know that their backs were -- by the two giants. [ applause ] >> and there are new developments at sonoma state university this report this morning. the university president mike lee put on leave

after an agreement he made with pro palestinian protesters on campus. among other things hagride to a boycott of academic and research institutions with ties to israel. chancellors said lee made the announcement out without approval. in a campus wide email. the move is now under review and lee is on administrative leave. however, the california legislative jewish caucus says they support the suspension. said in a statement that lee's endorsement of the academic boycott was unaccept and they say is evidence that he's unfit to lead the university. so a lot of things happening as we watch one graduation happen this afternoon for continuing coverage on all of the bay area university encampment developments and protests, and occupations of that building in berkeley, stick with us online at kpix.com and streaming on the cbs news bay area app. well, right now, hundreds of thousands of palestinians have already fled rafah and it could be days until humanitarian aid arrives.

meanwhile israeli tanks moved deeper into the city where a bay area doctor is stuck. she's one of at least 20 u.s. doctors who have been unable to leave gaza. dr. haleh sheikholeslami practices in palo alto and left her family at the beginning of april but now the crossing to egypt is closed. her brother has been fighting for her return home. >> she wanted to be able to do more. i think the -- you know, just the advocacy from here really wasn't enough. yesterday when i was talking to her, it was really -- you know, we had some texts back and forth. and one thing she was worried about was that she was not so worried about herself. her spirits were good. but she was worried about that they were running out of supplies and medical supplies because of the border crossing and that they couldn't help the people. and she was also worried about she was going to be late back to work so she

couldn't see her patients here which i kind of find ironic because we're worried about her safety. >> the big challenge is safety getting her out and moving around rafah and also says his sister has been treating a lot of children. >> there's a scarcity of food and there's dehydration, there's you know, all of this sicknesses that comes with being homeless. and, you know, being displaced. and so that is i think what she is seeing. they had to get relocatedbecaus e of the intensity what's gain on in rafah and i think she's been very careful about what she shares with us. >> because of frequent blackouts it's been hard to communicate and that his family has contacted congresswoman anna eshoo's office for help in getting his sister back home. time right now 611 in the morning. embattled da is ready for a fight. how pamela price plans to make her case to voters yet again in the face of a recall effort afternoon live look right now at sfo this

morning. you are about to get a new experience at terminal 1. we've got a sneak peek of the renovations. elizabeth get another look outside on this thursday

let's go to alameda county. da pamela price gearing up for a dwight after a successful effort to get her name back on the ballot in a recall election took place. it's her newest mountain to climb. listen. >> the people of this county have the right to elect a district attorney. they did that. we should not have to do it again. but we will. we will do it again. >> she's resolute. in 2022 price won her seat with 53% of the vote. but a group of people angry at price's decisions in high-profile cases led a victims' rights group to get the signatures needed to drive a recall effort. once they got the signatures, supervisors chose to add the recall to the november general election ballot instead of calling for a very expensive special election. after the in custody death of a 30-year-old man police were accused of excessive force killing angelo quinto in 2020 and now four years later to

city of antioch will pay $7.5 million to his family. he died while forcibly restrained during a mental health emergency. despite his cause of death ruled as excited delirium the american medical association and others said that was not a legitimate medical diagnosis. to concord now. a failed burglary attempt leaves an engineering business rammed. this happened monday night on solano way. the owner says it will cost him about $2,000 to fix that roll up door. concord police say just before this incident you can kind of hear the ramming there. they tried and failed to hit a similar business nearby. taking a live look outside as we wake up on this thursday morning. to this gorgeous view of san francisco. you can see grace cathedral there off to the side. let's check in with first alert meteorologist jessica burch to update us and ready to go as we head out the door and jess i'm not loving all the may gray we're getting. >> that's because you live along the coast, g. i'm sure it was sunny as can be just

around the same time it was cool and cloudy along the coastline. luckily this mornings that what we have outside. that marine layer kind of holding on tight to us right now throughout the santa clara valley and waking up and heading out the door in the afternoon hours just like yesterday we'll warm up into the 70s off into the east bay. 60s and 350s along the coastline and the peninsula. and the reason why we've been dealing with this nice quiet weather pattern, like 70s down into san jose for quite some time, is due to high pressure sitting directly offshore. high pressure has been keeping the storm track well to the north of us closer to the canadian border actually. they've been receiving some activity this week. but other than that, back here in the bay, it's just cool and cloudy and mild for us along the coast with sunny afternoons all throughout the santa clara valley up into wine country. we're all going to see a little bit of the onshore flow this morning. wind gusts anywhere up to around 15, 20 miles per hour lasting into the 9:00 hour. watch what happens as we head into the afternoon it gets a little bit stronger in areas like fairfield and san francisco a similar trend. this is just around dinner time. then other than that it's calm weather for us as we head into

the overnight hours. gearing up for a beautiful and mild forecast the next couple of days. speaking of the next couple of days let's actually take a look at that. as we head into this weekend, we're going to get mild weather for us in time for sunday for anyone going out to bay to breakers, lots of people come out into san francisco. but a lot of us also deal with beautiful warm weather into the afternoon and we're not getting that necessarily if you live or operate closer to san francisco. what we're going to get is 50s in the forecast as that run kicks off and then also going to hold on tight to 60s for our daytime highs. heading into our saturday forecast right around the corner. i'm going to have more on that coming up in a bit. but for now over to you, g. jessica thank you. let's talk about those roadways now and rolling on the bay area bridges and freeways. tough to do at bay bridge toll plaza right now with all that back appeasement almost to the foot of the maze. already this morning. no crashes in the area so that will help. however, it's still pretty slow. so one of the headlines is you head out the door, a busy ride coming out of the east bay

freeways. plus we're tracking some brake lights we've got two trouble spots now out of hayward, first off southbound as you work your way towards that whipple area this morning. there's a crash blocking the couple of lanes and you are backed up almost to the 238 and 8808 connector. so in that area, as well we're getting word of a trouble spot. this whole section heading over to the san mateo bridge really starting to slow down this morning. and we are still tracking a very busy ride for commuters coming out of tracy. that's because of a crash still stuck westbound 580 at grant line road. so those are two hotspots this morning where we're seeing most of the brake lights and issues. as we look at the travel times, you will get a better perspective as you get on the favorite app in the car. but i can tell you 101 out of san jose still looks pretty good overall. only 38 minutes hellyer to sfo and highway 4 and 80 starting to slow down though. well, we got a sneak peek at the nearly complete renovations at sfo's harvey milk terminal 1. there it is there. there are new ticket counters and new security checkpoint and two new gates. the project links all of the airport's terminals after security. officials say it will

be the most sustainable airport terminal in the entire world. when it opens up on june 11th. congratulations and welcome to all of the visitors. let's go live to the south bay now. downtown san jose hosting a series of block parties working for a bay area bounce-back there. the first one tonight is in the historic district called nonprofit urban vie bransy. more than 60 businesses souped up to participate and should be fun and it's expected to bring thousands in. then of course the fair in contra costa county starts today with ride and animals. they're ready to entertain and getting introduced up for visitors, watch this. >> translation in pig. come to the fair. right? those pigs are prancing and the sheep are getting ready. even cows are packing on a smile for everybody. the llama, he says who's your ma many? i'm going

to end there. the fair opens t noon and runs through this sunday. who doesn't love the good llama joke? at 6:20 in the morning. >> was that a llama? >> you might call it a superhuman feat. how this summer -- swimmer rather made history in the buy. how about a live look outside before we head to break? we'

let's get a live look over

at levi's stadium in santa clara this morning. the full niners' schedule is finally out. we know already they're going primetime in week one playing against aaron rodgers and the new york jets on september 9th on top of five other primetime games they've been given. so it's possible the niners could play a seventh primetime game through flex scheduling between week 12 to 17. so one of their games you may want to keep an eye on. is week seven when they play against the defending super bowl champs the kansas city chiefs and we know how this went down. the chiefs beat the niners last super bowl? overtime. 25-22. how can we forget? the baseball now. the giants were looking to stop a dodgers' series sweep last night. well, mike yastrzemski had something to say about that. helped set the tone early on with the two run blast in t 3rd. not bad. offense maybe hot and cold but the defense is always looking pretty good. that next half inning, oscar hernandez at the plate and

watch louis matos, he crashed into the wall and took a homer away. so everyone pretty happy about that. giants hang on to the win and prevent the sweep 4-1. san francisco in colorado tomorrow to take on the red hot rockies. pga championship happening 4:15 a.m. it's the second major golf championship this year following the masters tournament which aired right here on kpix and a lot of eyes on tiger woods. because this is the first time he's competed since finishing number 60 at the masters. that was an ouch. scheffler took that tournament. his wife meredith gave birth to their first son earlier there week and by the way you have to hear this. fellow player and former cal bear max houma gave him sound parenting advice. >> be really nice to your wife. find a thing that you are -- you are good at. you can help as best you can. watch your back. dad back is a real thing. but i think -- i mean i'm sure

he'll just be giving me advice soon because he's so good at everything. >> all right, so dad back. we did a little journalistic research. he was not like talking about somebody like coming for him. it means like -- you know, he's got to watch his back because carrying a baby causes back strain. >> okay. [ laughter ] i'm sorry. that -- that just bugs me. >> that's dad back. >> carrying the 8-pound baby is tough but get up every couple of hours and nurse that baby and when the baby cries get up with the baby again. you want to talk about bad back hunched over for hours, we birthed them too. dad back it hurts. >> what she said. >> i do love you dads. >> what she said. a pacifica nurse took on the shark-infested waters to be the first person in history to swim from the golden gate bridge to the remote island off the coast of san francisco. 55-year-old amy gubser swam nearly 30 miles without a wet suit to the farallon islands on saturday. her team was by her side in a boat as she swam

through strong currents and frigid temperatures. it took the grandmother 17 hours to get to the island. other swimmers have previously made the swim from the island to san francisco. she was actually a swimmer in college. and when she is not in the water she works as a nurse at ucsf benioff children's hospital in the fetal cardiac unit. how about that? >> i hope nyad calls her and says good job. >> i was thinking about this during this too. incredible and good for you and congratulations, this woman now a grandmother. i bet she has a lot to say about dad back. >> even we say dad back to her. >> no. no. no. it is 6:26. battling the san francisco stereotype. this new business owner destined to show why his neighborhood is the heart of the city. and a ride of silence. the touching tribute from a local community group

6:29 in the morning and just teetering on 6:30 and in fact if you watch that clock, bottom left hand of your screen, you are going to see the clock change in three, two, one. but then over there on the right hand side of your screen, that is what a breath of fresh air looks like. hey yes, there's clouds but there's always light coming through right and you know what i'm grateful for this morning? my daughter. it's her birthday this morning. >> it is? >> ryan, a miracle child who came to our home through the miracle of adoption. we were

told look this little girl may not walk or run and may never see and guess what she does all that and she gets straight as. i love you happy birthday ryan. >> i hope she has a wonderful day. >> a ray of sunshine just like she represents in my life. good morning, jess. >> we're doing going to continue to see more of the sunshine last through the afternoon hours and actually a beautiful day for us today and happy birthday this morning. and let's take a quick look at what we can expect as we head into this afternoon. it is still cool and cloudy near san francisco. we're going to see small day-to-day changes in the forecast for us as we get closer into the weekend. actually that's our -- another big weather headline for us. more of the same this weekend. with cool morning clouds that pull back along the coast into the afternoon hours. leaving us with sunshine all throughout the east bay and up into wine country and for our friends in the santa clara valley, and then cooler conditions closer to pacifica where g is at. high pressure is sitting directly offshore. that's driving in dry weather for us. right now actually what it's doing it's keeping the storm track well to the north of us. so we're

remaining dry as we head into the weekend's forecast and early next week just dealing with the stubborn morning fog. may gray in full force for us in the bay area especially along the coastline and along the peninsula as we head in the afternoon hours. over to the peninsula real fast and i want to show you what's happening for us today. cool and cloudy right now in san francisco and later this afternoon warm up in the 60s. anywhere from san francisco across the bay bridge right behind me. all the way over into oakland. we warm up into the 80s -- excuse me 70s today and we're dropping the 80s in area like antioch all the way down into los gatos. it's been a mild forecast for us all week long. the biggest story for us too into the afternoon hours has to do with the wind. we've been seeing breezy conditions move in from offshore anywhere up to around 20, 25 miles per hour at times and i'll time that out for you coming up in the first alert weather, for now over to you, g. taking a look at the roadways right now because they're getting quite busy this morning. bay bridge, it's still pretty slow heading into france and in fact now the backup extending past the foot of the maze. all approaches

>> reporter: paul valdez is considered the unofficial bike mayor of san francisco and helped to organize the event. he mourns every life lost, but there is one day he will always remember when two people were killed on their bikes just hours apart. >> i will never forget that day. i'll never forget where i was and how painful that was for me personally and our community. we just did not know what -- why did that happen? you know? >> reporter: one of the stops was here at 3rd and mission bay where clark gashaw was killed in 2017. every year, his mother comes out to greet the riders. >> i'm grateful. i am -- to me, culturally, we honor people's family. and this is -- he's creating his own friends. and honoring those who come to honor him, i honor. >> reporter: the goal of this ride is to remember. >> every single person who has died in san francisco on a
