starts going dark, forget about it. there's no light there. it makes it even more dangerous. >> reporter: neighbors say this is the other route if families don't want to walk into the street, but the alleyway is filled with trash. >> i think on thursday we went past that tipping point. >> reporter: business owner alvarado rodriguez said thursday somebody vandalized a stolen car on the street and cell phone video showed someone using a rock to break the driver's side window. a short time later a homeless person walked out with what appeared to be an axe to confront someone. >> i'm beyond frustrated. i'm beyond disappointed. i'm beyond angry. >> reporter: they say they called the city multiple times, but no one has called the encampment. >> it goes beyond atrocious. it's deliberate. why won't the city act? >> reporter: i asked one of the rv dwellers why they have to block the sidewalk. >> i'll make sure it gets

cleared up, but no, you're right, absolutely. kids need to walk by for their safety. >> reporter: the man says the rv dwellers don't want to cause problems, but they have nowhere to go. >> it's not the homeless people bringing the trash, destroying these businesses, abandoning all these cars. >> reporter: councilman noel gallo met with alvarado about the concerns. he said the city is working to clear the rvs on both east eighth and ninth streets. >> he's from missouri, canada, all over the country coming into oakland because we're allowing that behavior to happen. >> reporter: he and the neighbors hope the city acts fast. >> this cannot continue because it puts our life in jeopardy. >> reporter: a lot of neighbors tell me they would like to move, but they've lived here a long time and simply cannot afford to leave. so now they're waiting for the city to do something about this. >> oakland's latest point in time count found a 9% rise in

her friend and former fiance. tomorrow closing arguments will begin in donald trump's hush money trial. the former president did not testify. trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. he denies any wrongdoing and maintains the trial is politically motivated. in the middle east growing outrage over an israeli airstrike that killed dozens of people in a designated safe zone for displaced palestinians. according to the gaza health ministry, at least 45 people were killed and more than 200 others injured at the camp in rafah. most of them were women and children. today israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu blamed the deaths on a "tragic mistake." the israeli military says the attack was conducted based on intelligence that senior hamas officials were present. aid groups say israel's continued attacks on rafah are having a devastating

impact on palestinian children. >> children who have had amputations, children who have not spoken for several months, such as the level of trauma that they're dealing with or a child who has lost a mother and is living now with an auntie and no other surviving family. these stories are not unique. they are in the thousands and thousands. >> according to gaza's ministry of health, more than 36,000 people have been killed since israel launched its military operation in the wake of the october 7th attack. starting tomorrow graduate student workers at several uc campuses will hit the picket lines over the response to pro palestinian protests. the strike began at uc santa cruz last week. workers at ucla and uc davis are expected to join that strike tomorrow. union workers are accusing uc leaders of allowing violent attacks on demonstrators by both outside agitators and by police. at ucla a group of

that began five years ago when a children's book was written telling the story of filipino immigrants who arrived in america only to find themselves working in the central valley field as laborers. >> larry wasn't sure if he would ever become a lawyer, but he could still help people find justice. >> reporter: larry organized the 1965 grape strike and joining forces with cesar chavez, co-founding the united farmworkers. >> i think this is a story for anyone who is an american just like the boston tea part. we learn it's absolutely essential to america's identity. this story, filipino americans in labor history, should also be central to who the united states is and what american schools teach. >> reporter: and now larry's story will go from the pages of a book to a theater production on stage called "larry, the

musical." for the actors it's a chance for them to tell an authentic story about their own history. >> what it means to do this show about filipino american history is very rare because not many shows are done with filipino actors. >> it feels very much like we're doing this with our ancestors, our community and people. we're not alone in doing this. >> reporter: gail hopes the rehearsal will turn into a moment of reflection. >> i haven't had that moment where i get to sink into a chair, watch it, and just wonder what happened the last five years. i haven't gotten there yet. i don't know what that's going to look like. i'm looking forward to it. >> reporter: looking forward to seeing her creation come to life on stage, but more importantly, looking forward to an audience watching and learning about a true american

that pretty much sums up san francisco during the summers. the fog is just rolling in. we have may gray, june gloom, but heck, this week it might be a little hot. >> we will be by thursday and friday, all the stuff you were just talking about, ryan, is going to take a short little break and it will be near 90 by thursday and friday, but we aren't there now. i want to show you today, another view of

the marine layer. we were just looking at a live camera as it was drifting over alcatraz. this is a time lapse of the last three hours. the motion is helpful to kind of figure out how the day is going. there's your onshore influence, the marine layer streaming in. look at 9:00 a.m. we woke up and it was may gray for the city and immediate east bay and up into napa. this is actual satellite imagery. this is an exact depiction how this day went. watch what happened through the morning, marine layer hangs on but keeps melting back. by noon you've just got this little bit over the coast, the city and that little ribbon there going over alcatraz which we were just looking at. this is pretty classic for this time of year. if we want to see what happens next, let's look at this a different way. let's use the virtual map for that and put the say depiction on here. i can show you where the fog is at this point, sitting off the coast because it's been pushed back now. basically if you want to find marine layer, you have to get out here

to see it. let's go now to the forecast and watch it build back in tonight. it's almost going to be as impressive as this morning. we'll watch it build back in pretty quickly. by about 3:00 a.m. it's in the same place. by 7:00 a.m. there it still is. that's what it looks like when you wake up tuesday morning. it's not an all gray-out, may gray kind of morning, because many of us will have sunshine and blue sky in the morning, but many of us also won't. you can see the pattern. anywhere over the city, immediate peninsula, some patchiness in the south bay and i think the tri-valley will wake up with a little bit of the manner layer having made it inland and of course, doesn't last long. this is tuesday afternoon right back into the sunshine again. it's going to look and feel a lot like today. we'll look at tomorrow's daytime highs. these numbers should look familiar because

they're very similar to today. we're kind of in a holding pattern right now. as the marine layer does its thing each morning and the onshore influence is still around temperatures are pretty much staying put and these numbers are pretty close to average for this time of year with this pattern. the onshore is kind of acting the way it should. the marine layer is feeling the way it should. daytime highs are feeling almost exactly like they should for this time of year, but the pattern does start to change as we get towards thursday and friday. right now we're getting a little help from a trough of low pressure helping keep things doing, but that's going to break down. by thursday and friday a big center of high pressure will have built in off the coast and allow temperatures to start jumping. let's put that in the seven-day forecast. i'll bring in our terrariums for the next

seven days. thursday is the peak for our inland microclimate. i'll remove the fog that was lingering on the virtual set. then we'll cool down by the weekend. so it doesn't last long. even though we do have a warm-up coming, we'll lose the marine layer in the mornings for the most part and it will be sunny and near 90 for at least a couple days, but by next weekend we'll get back into this pattern. by next saturday marine layer starts filtering in again for the mornings and the temperatures are more like average. you see what that looks like for the bay, backed an 70. even in the bay notice inside here we've got sunny skies. so we aren't even seeing the marine layer influence. we aren't waking up to much of it at all of wednesday, thursday and friday morning you'll wake up and have pretty clear skies, which will be a nice change. ryan, back to you. >> thanks, darren. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00, we switch over

to sara donchey. >> hi, ryan. coming up memorial day weekend is a busy time for law enforcement. one man is handling traffic enforcement, just one. how his hard work helped relaunch the traffic unit. as waymo robotaxis get ready to expand, the trouble spot where they keep getting stranded. the news at 6:00 is coming up in about ten minutes. let's head to vern for a look at sports. >> we've got baseball up top and the giants are in their bag, winner of nine of the last 11 and one of the big boys in the game paid a visit today. first give this fan a contract, guy in the white, made the catch while holding the toddler! they hosted the phillies today. scoreless in the bottom of the second, here goes yastrzemski roping a double into right field scoring

two runs, the memorial day salute, starter blake snell with a 3-0 lead, but in the third kyle schwarber, two-run homer into the arcade, one-run game. snell allowed four runs in four innings. giants trailed 4-3 in the fifth. thairo estrada bomber got past third baseman alec bohm. the next inning now 5-4 san francisco brett wisely doubled to right center. that brought home yaz and the giants beat philadelphia who have the best record in all of baseball, final 8-4. san francisco, a game above .500 with a record of 28-27. a's had the day off. sad news as we told you at the top of the show, basketball hall of famer and broadcaster bill walton passed away after a battle with cancer, a one of a
