students. we're failing jewish students. while that hearing was happening inside of the capital outside lawmakers and advocates were rallying in support of the campus ppotests. it is appalling to witness the crackdown and violent repression of first amendment protected speech and assembly on college campuses. congresswoman rashida tlaib in congressman jamaal bowman say they support student calls for a cease-fire and divestment from israel. it is disgusting that the biden administration of my colleagues in congress continue to smear. >> then for protesting to save lives. they do know one u.s. to use taxpayer dollars to kill babies and children and innocent people in gaza. but anywhere else in the world. >> enough is enough in washington. i'm hannah brandt. >> the federal bureau of prisons is set to go to trial next year over claims that allowed an environment where guards sexually abused inmates ipat the women's prison in dublin inmates have been transferred out of that facility. some of them are suing the prisons bureau claiming that the agency

tracker 4 showing you that things are relatively quiet now, but look to the northwest and there is a low pressure system. why do you know that? because you see that counter clockwise swirl of the clouds. that's a telltale sign of a low pressure system. so as this goes through, it doesn't have a lot of moisture to work with. but you do see this on friday. those clouds rolling in about 6.30. so you start to see them thickening up. and then just a tiny bit of moisture that is with them as they roll into saturday. now doesn't mean that we're deaths. are going to see any rain? but we could see some sprinkles. and i think what it's really going to be as little bit of drizzle, but it clears out rather quickly later in the day on saturday. and then that's all done. and it's really not much in the way of any precipitation. so, again, i think it's just going to be a drizzle kind of a feeling. here's a look at your senate forecast. you can see that cool down right through saturday and then we're going to bounce back on sunday just in time for the holiday on monday with some sunshine. thank you, kyle. all right. love our lake on saturday. that summertime serious is launching on the shores of lake merritt. there's free live music and a community picnic is going to be part of
