right now at 5:30, a historic guilty verdict finding former president trump guilty of criminal charges for falsifying business records, that verdict announced a little after 2:00 p.m. our time. >> as that verdict was read, trump did not move but appeared to sigh as the jurors left the room. >> this is a culmination of a six-week trial centered around the concealment of hush money paid to adult film star stormy daniels just ahead of the 2016 election. trump is the first president in u.s. history to be convicted of a criminal offense. >> this is just the first of four criminal cases brought against trump to head to trial.
5:32 pm
many experts had considered this the weakest of the four. the conviction will undoubtedly be a focal point of the presidential campaign in the coming months. >> the stakes are huge. what's going on in the country is more than divisive and more than polarized. it's shaking faith in institutions. so recognition of the rule of law is hugely important. >> trump is guilty! >> protesters again the former president chanted trump is guilty and no one is above the law. this happened outside the manhattan courtroom after learning the verdict in the hush money trial. >> now while that crowd celebrated, a group of trump supporters gathered outside trump tower. you can see the former president exit the suv clapping his hands and waving to a crowd across the street before then entering the building. >> as you can imagine, people from all over the political spectrum are weighing in on this verdict. >> anne makovec has reaction from around the bay area. >> yeah, guys, we hit the
5:33 pm
streets of san francisco to hear from some of you and most people did not mince words. >> i mean yeah, guilty. got to face the consequences. >> i'm ecstatic, to be honest with you. it's a long time coming, serves him right and i would go as far as to say i would like to see everyone who voted for him convicted for aiding and abetting. >> i will vote for trump more so than i ever thought i would, what the democrats, what biden is doing to our country is shameful. >> it was so quick. so it seems like the jurors really came to their decision quickly. they had the information they needed. >> at this point i don't really know if anything would help or hurt him. i think people have already made up their minds about him. i think his supporters can't be swayed one way or the other. >> i will also say there were several people we had to edit out of there because of some
5:34 pm
strong language as you might expect, a lot of passion from both sides of the political spectrum. >> thanks, anne. at 6:00 we'll have reaction to today's historic verdict from all over the bay area. meanwhile in san francisco mayor london breed unveiled a new budget plan to boost funding to law enforcement. >> under the mayor's proposal, the police department's budget will receive an additional $46 million in the next fiscal year for staffing and recruitment efforts. the sheriff's office would also receive additional funding, as would 911 dispatchers. >> the plan comes ahead a significant drop in crime in the city and a budget deficit that will require some steep cuts to the city's budget. san francisco is now marking one year since launching a crackdown on open air drug markets. the focus, disrupting drug use and sales in the tenderloin and soma. >> but advocates question if the arrests are just a band-aid, not a lasting solution to the problem. they spoke to our kelsi thorud. >> reporter: in the past year
5:35 pm
the mayor's office says close to 200 kilos of drugs have been seized and more than 3,000 people arrested thanks to a new program they launched last year. it's a milestone that city officials are highlighting as a success, but one that local organizations say may just be a drop in the bucket on an issue that needs a much broader approach to find true success. michael desipola helps people with substance abuse issues get services they need here at glide memorial church in the tenderloin. >> for us, we want to look at what are the circumstances that people use drugs are under on the streets, are people with mental illness on the streets and how we can make access points for them available. >> reporter: michael and the staff at glide work daily with people who often buy drugs off the street. he says one of the biggest health concerns is the type of drugs available in the
5:36 pm
city. >> the reality of the matter is the supply is not safe. >> reporter: to try and combat those illegal drugs, the mayor's office launched the drug market agency coordination center in may 2023. now one year later they say close to 90 kilos of fentanyl alone has been seized by close and close to 50 kilos of meth. according to their data, over 1,000 dealers have also been arrested in addition to close to 1,300 users. michael told me he understands the city's approach but still doesn't think it will solve the big picture problem alone. >> incarceration and law enforcement has not been proven to be able to assist, change the conditions for people who use drugs and the same thing applies here. even if we're getting some substances off the streets, we still have a lot of substances on the streets. people are still able to get drugs on the streets. >> reporter: we actually ran into a man not far from glide who confirmed that to us. bowe
5:37 pm
rawlings said he struggled with meth addiction for years and says even now it's not hard to find a dealer to sell it to him. >> depends on what kind of drugs you're really asking for like the fentanyl, the meth. i've never asked these guys for heroin or opioids, but i'd imagine that would be a little bit harder. >> reporter: michael says what he believes needs to be done to help more people like bowe is a more comprehensive and caring approach to getting those with substance abuse issues off the streets into treatment. >> we just need to continue to invest in these type of programs and what we've seen is to some degree a demonization or polarization it's either law enforcement or harm reduction and that's not what we see as viable. we think all of the options really should be available, right? >> reporter: michael told me he believes that one of the biggest things that still needs
5:38 pm
to be focused on is direct support for people who are really in the thick of addiction. he says he hopes the city as well as other organizations around the bay area continue to focus and fund those types of programs. up next, embattled plane manufacturer boeing unveiling a plan hopefully to avoid more misair mishaps like we've seen in recent months. hello! >> good to see you! >> more than just a chance meeting on the street, how our very own sara donchey came

we're following historic news today, former president donald trump found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his new york hush money trial. trump is now the first president in u.s.
5:41 pm
history to be convicted of a criminal offense after leaving court trump calling the verdict a disgrace and continued to claim he did nothing wrong. sentencing is scheduled july 11th. the maximum sentence is up to 20 years, but experts say probation is the likeliest outcome. a former bay area college professor has been sentenced to five years in prison for intentionally starting california wildfires in 2021. 49-year-old gary maynerd will pay $5,000 restitution for three counts of arson. he was convicted of setting a series of fires in the shasta forest potentially cutting off any chance of escape for the firefighters battling the dixie fire. maynard worked at santa clara university and worked a stint at sonoma state. it's been warned a.i.
5:42 pm
technology could be used to manipulate public opinion. now one company says such operations are already taking place. open ai said it has disrupted five deceptive online campaigns using its a.i. service to create social media posts and articles. those campaigns were run out of iran, china, russia, and israel and seem to be geared toward influencing public opinion about political campaigns or global conflicts like the wars in ukraine and gaza. we're taking a live look at our nation's capital where boeing executives describe sweeping changes they are making to improve safety and quality to their airplanes. boeing planes have had a number of reported issues this year, including a door panel blowing out midflight on a 737 max jet. the company says they'll increase employee training and communication as well as bolster its anonymous reporting system for employees. >> safety is a team sport. everyone has a role to play. boeing must do their part and we will be there to make sure
5:43 pm
they do that. >> boeing's production of 737 max planes has been capped by the faa since the door blowout in january. they say the limit will stay in place until they are satisfied with the company's safety progress. still ahead, "mrs. doubt fire" turns to san francisco. we'll tag along on her trip. a star receiver just got paid and another 49ers

5:46 pm
darren, it was nice to get a little taste of summer today. >> we haven't had much may gray for this may, but june's coming and there's reason to believe june gloom is going to set in just for the first day of june, but i'm going to start with tomorrow. if you look out the windows from the virtual set, all you see is high cirrus clouds. we haven't had any marine layer show its face over the bay the last two days. tomorrow a very small wisp of marine layer will start building back in. today's the warmest day. we'll use the virtual map to show you how we'll see a slight, little return. keep your eye on this part of the bay. i'm going to bring in the forecast imagery
5:47 pm
which does a pretty good job depicting 24 hours out how the marine layer is going to behave. it's subtle. that's it. that's tomorrow morning, all we're get be, but there's going to be just a very light intrusion tomorrow. that's important as silly as this looks. i still wanted to try and pull that out because we haven't had anything the last two days. you got to start somewhere. that's the first one. in one second i'll show you saturday because saturday is going to be a lot more noticeable and we'll cool down, but first let's put the daytime highs on here and see where we'll end up. from that little bit of an intrusion from the marine layer, you can see a noticeable impact on the daytime highs. this is about a three or four-degree cooldown tomorrow for your afternoon numbers tomorrow than today, a couple degrees cooler for oakland, couple degrees cooler for fremont, livermore in the 90s today, only going to the 80s. even though you aren't getting the marine layer, you still get the onshore influence
5:48 pm
tomorrow. when we look at the south bay, your numbers go from upper 80s today down to the mid-80s tomorrow. i mentioned saturday we'll see more of it. if we were watching a little intrusion of the marine layer using the high resolution imagery on the virtual map, let's go a bit longer range and watch what happens saturday morning. that's more noticeable. saturday morning we'll wake up and a good part of the bay will have a genuine cover of marine layer gray and by this point we're talking about june gloom. look on the coast. this is the kind of scenario where the marine layer comes back with enough purpose it's able to mist out along the coast. we'll get a little -- it's not rain, but we night get a 0.01-inch of rain over several hours of time if it doesn't evaporate. saturday is going to be noticeably cooler. you'll see that on the seven-day forecast. saturday and sunday are good. we get a
5:49 pm
little break. in fact, the bigger picture shows us why that's going to happen. you see this little system here? it's not coming here, but it will graze by to the north and another one behind it for the weekend. those systems are putting a squash on this warm-up. we've been watching the warmth migrate our way and here's today, watch the system there, comes in for the weekend, pushes the warmer air away. when we look at the weekend in terms of above or below average, we split the difference and we're pretty much there. next week the oranges and reds come back. the warm-up next week is looking more impressive. this is the heat risk map for next wednesday. we're going pretty far out here, almost the end of the seven-day forecast, but the forecast for next wednesday has now become the headline in the entire seven-day forecast. this is going to be the hottest day of the whole thing. we're doing okay on a heat risk concern from this. we'll probably stay for the most part moderate for much of the bay,
5:50 pm
but it's time to start thinking about that as we approach that time frame. here's why. you'll see it in the seven-day forecast. look back at wednesday next week, mid-90s inland. we haven't done that yet. we've had several spikes in heat where we've gotten to the low 90s for the inland valleys. this is the first time we're doing mid-90s. the bay obviously it won't be too intense. this is not a significant heatwave for the bay even though you may hear headlines about the central valley having a significant one. i think we'll avoid one at home. back to you. for a check of what's ahead at 6:00, let's switch over to july yet. >> we're gathering more reaction to the historic verdict of former president trump found guilty in his hush money trial on all trial. we'll hear from voters around the bay area how this could sway their decision in the race for the white house, also more analysis on the legal and political fallout. plus san francisco's mayor is promising to double down on the public safety solutions she says are leading to a drop in
5:51 pm
crime, but we talked to people around the city whose perceptions really don't match up to the numbers. let's go now to matt and sports. >> thanks, jules. the 49ers remain hard at work during their offseason training program. it's always a good sign when the veterans show up to the voluntary workouts. nobody seems happier to get back out there than george kittle. >> feeling wonderful. it's may. we're back in the building. guys are around having fun playing football. it's a great time to be alive. >> the people's tight end isn't running routes on the field quite yet as he continues to rehab from offseason surgery. he played through a core muscle injury half of last season. he expects to be back for training camp. kittle still has his eyes on the prize after getting over last season's super bowl loss. >> i still wake up every single day and i get to play football and have another opportunity to go at it this season, nothing i can do about controlling that.
5:52 pm
it is what it is. unfortunately, i didn't achieve the goal i had to win the super bowl, but i have another opportunity to do it this year. so does this suck? yeah, but the fact i have another opportunity with a fantastic football team, great roster, i'd bet on my team, not really, but figuratively speaking, of course. >> around the league dolphins star wide receiver jaylen waddle signed a three-year deal worth $84 million, 76 million guaranteed and you wonder who might that intrigue? probably brandon aiyuk who is rumored to be far from an extension with the 9ers. stanford softball is back in the series the second year in a row, the recap tonight on "the late show." a's fans might start having some nightmares, a walk-off hit driving in the game winning run. today bottom of the ninth rays down a run
5:53 pm
and mason miller on the mound, but this was gone the moment it left his bat, solo shot to center field tying the game 4-4 and sends it to extras. this one went 12 innings, but the rays prevailed. there's one hit over the head of cameron in right field and that was more than enough to drive in the run from third. tampa wins 6-5. back-to-back losses in the trop in walk-off fashion for the a's. they head to atlanta tomorrow for a three-game series against the braves. a's are struggling now, but we are excited that the oakland ballers getting their home season kicked off next tuesday and we're going to have all those friday night home games here on kpix5 kpix throughout the summer. still ahead, more than 30

5:57 pm
chance to hit the streets alongside her. >> reporter: stepping out in the city in her sensible shoes, she is almost impossible to ignore. >> hello there. hello, my love. >> i love you. >> i love you, too. hello. don't hit me, dear. don't hit me. i love you, dear. i love you. >> reporter: of course, she is -- >> my name is euphegen i doubtfire. >> reporter: even a cynical old reporter was starstruck to see her visiting some of san francisco's most famous neighborhoods wednesday. >> hello! it's good to see you! >> reporter: it's been a long time coming. the nanny extraordinaire made her movie debut more than 30 years ago
