sentiments echoed by national security council spokesperson john kirby. >> we continue to believe that under the current circumstances without a credible plan, as the president said. to account for the more than million palestinians that are down in rafah. make sure that there have place we can be safe and secure and out of harm's way. without that credible plan and a major operation in rafah would be a disaster. >> another big topic at those 2 world leaders discussed is the possibility of recognizing a palestinian state. the u.s. believes that this is the first step towards long-term peace in the middle east. israeli leadership, however, have slammed this move, saying that it will effectively reward the palestinians for the october 7th attack, and they fear that it will cause security concerns for israel. that's why much of israel's leadership is pretty united in saying they do not support the recognition of a palestinian state in tel aviv, robert sherman.

o'clock tonight, capitol correspondent eytan wallace reports. >> what we're talking bills on all kinds of matters from housing to homelessness to hate crimes. with the striking the gavel, lawmakers got to work friday ahead of the big 05:00pm deadline to introduce bills. the clerk will now open just how many bills are we talking about by the time this interview was shot with georgia school of law professor chris mckay. le late friday morning, more than 1500 bills have already been introduced. and as the 05:00pm deadline approached, that number kept growing. i'm expecting just over 2000 bills by 5 o'clock among the bills introduced, several are focused on housing, including one from assembly member alex lee targeting corporations trying to buy single-family homes. specifically the proposal would prevent corporations that own more than 1000 single-family homes from purchasing additional properties and converting them into rentals. why it's so important is because we have a housing crisis, a shortage of homes available. and when

corporations outbid out compete, hard-working families from their dream of being a homeowner. >> that's a big problem on the issue of homelessness, republican assembly member josh hoover co authored a bill known as the beyond housing measure. it's very simple. it's simply repeals the requirement that we can only spend money on housing first programs. >> and it allows other types of programs that are actually getting people out of the cycle of homelessness are actually getting people, drug abuse, treatment and mental health treatment. >> and helping them get their lives back on track. former assembly speaker anthony rendon makes clear, though, combating homelessness often requires communication between various counties. he's introduced a bill to extend the program, enabling counties to share information and better coordinate homelessness services. its very frustrating when you have these agencies not talking. have people working in silos. >> when you have the not sharing the available on public safety. assemblymember evan low introduced a bill to strengthen hate crime enforcement, including a

proposal allowing judges to issue a search warrant in cases a misdemeanor hate crimes with so painful is that we've seen the most vulnerable community is being attacked just for being who they are. what's important is that we stand for and that we're demonstrating to our community that this will not be tolerated and that perpetrators will be prosecuted accordingly. and then there's a bill from republican assembly member tom lackey to increase the use of license plate readers statewide to help find missing people. we have the technology available. >> why in the world would we want to save lives? but all the bills come as the state faces a projected multi-billion dollar budget deficit. 80 1% of all bills introduced have some sort of fiscal impact. >> and so the budget is definitely going to overshadow quite a few bills this year. is the beginning of a months long process ahead to make it to the governor's desk. bills must first go through various committees and both houses of the legislature reporting at the state capitol. a tom wallace kron, 4 news. >> all right. one last check

of our forecast this afternoon with a quick live look outside of the san mateo bridge. no windshield wipers here, but come this time tomorrow. what you think it will look i think it will look like rain. haha. >> i know i hate to be the bearer of bad news as we head toward the weekend, right? nobody wants to hear it. but >> i want to take a moment talk about wind. nice and calm now. but one of the components of these systems is they're going to bring not just rain but also wind along with them, which gets a little tricky when you start to have saturated ground, right? so i wanted to bring this up. just you're ready for it and show you tonight. we're fine with the wind. but tomorrow afternoon, it does start to pick up in a kind of continues right through the evening. there as we get to saturday at about 6 o'clock and it happens again on sunday and monday. so this is sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock. again, you see that wind starting to pick up. so just be ready for this when it happens. part again of this low pressure system, one of 2, the second one sitting right back here in kind of see it there. that counter clockwise circulation, they're going to be rolling in. so we can see already some of this moisture plume starting to make its

way. and so far, just some sprinkles out there and some clouds. but that will change as we get into the overnight we are looking at a live look here from the east bay, but it looks like my picture has dropped out a little bit. just to show you the current temperatures, though, we do have a little bit of work that they're in san jose about 64 degrees 60 in concord. everyone else sitting in the 50's. this is the thing we have to look out for this weekend. second hit of rain. it is. we're going to have rain on top of rain, right? so we start to get this excessive runoff happening. that's why we have a flood watch going up sunday morning through wednesday morning. that's when our flooding concerns are going to happen. and the rivers, creeks and streams are places that we're going to need to keep an eye on. so this is our first bit of rain coming in in the overnight tonight. there's 11 o'clock tonight. we get home dry, no problems. tomorrow morning we wake up. this is when the light rain starts and then kind of the heavier showers roll in. as we get into the afternoon, this about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. you can see some of those oranges and yellows between about 02:00pm and 05:00pm. i think that's will have the heavier downpours. bit of a break saturday night, which is kind of nice into sunday morning. and then the second hit coming

in. this is going to be a very robust system sunday into monday. and we're going to see this kind of form of several waves of rain there come in. and you can see some of those are very heavy. so that's the second hit of rate. this is the first one we're going to be on saturday. north bay getting an inch to an inch and a half. everybody bunch less than that. more like a half an inch to an inch. but this is that second rain that comes in there's monday night. you can see kind of continues and lingers into tuesday and even a little bit of wednesday. so it just means that that's the part we have to be careful. is that monday, tuesday, wednesday, when we've got all that rain that's come in on top of rain notice, by the way, sunday to monday, we also have the threat of a little bit of a thunderstorm there, too. so once we're done with all of this, we get over to thursday and friday, we start warming up and will start clearing out and have some nice weather. but it's going to be a little bit of a rough ride to just get ready for it. as we head through the weekend. back to thank you. the nba all-star weekend starts tomorrow. and that means for about 24 hours away from the much anticipated 3

point contest between steph curry and bay area native sabrina ionescu. it will be the first ever nba versus wnba. 3 point challenge. sabrina called out curry after setting the record for the most points scored and a 3 point competition during the wnba all-star weekend. i was in july. curry has won the nba contest twice. sabrina is a bay area native. she was born in walnut creek. she attended miramonte a high school in orinda and this competition is going to take place during the nba all-star night program that starts tomorrow night at 5. and i'm pretty sure sabrina is going to crush it. all right. as we talk about basketball, iowa, sharp shooter, caitlin clark is breaking records last night. she made history by breaking the nc. double a's scoring record and she did it with these, steph, like 3 pointers, clark broke kelsey plum's record of 3,527 points and she
