a 365 day fire season in california and do with the heavy rains that we had this year. there is a lot of grass out there and we saw that with fire in the tracy area just last week. >> the bill takes a four-part approach. it aims to get rid of firefighter shortage is by creating a new academy to train and hire more of them. there would be a focused effort to hang on to the experienced firefighters who are considered experts, including giving them better benefits and working conditions. the bill would update technology like developing risk maps to improve response time. and a real-time air quality monitoring system with alerts would be created to help tackle the fact so many people get sick from the smoke from huge wildfires. the bill is called modernizing wild fire safety and prevention act. it

is said to be gaining bipartisan support also look to of the senate. >> find a companion measure in the senate really important that we're getting with the people that are on the fire lines here. >> the bill's attention to wildfire smoke that one of the things plotted in this bill. studies show the smoke can lead to a shocking number of deaths and injuries more than most people would realize. on another note, we know wildfires have led to a home insurance crisis on that threatens to for some residents to leave the state grant. >> yeah, that's a whole other issue in a very real one. thank you, catherine. fire season is here and here in the bay. we've already seen several fires and heat advisories. officials are urging people to be prepared in case of an emergency that includes making sure you have defensible space of at least 5 feet. but ideally, somewhere around 30 feet around your home, also make sure you're cutting down dead grass and weeds to be 4 inches or

shorter. officials say significant rain. this year's lead seasonal grasses and vegetation to grow more than usual. you heard representative garamendi talking about that. people should also trim back trees, remove low hanging branches and clean gutters. >> we're all in this together. if everybody does their part to prepare their properties, that everybody will be safer. >> the national weather service is hot and dry days elevate the risk of fire. and so we're coming up on the hot spot this week as we turn our attention to the 4 zone forecast. taking a live look outside and there you see the part of the bay bridge part of your island in the middle of the bay. you know, such a nice day today. it's hard to think that it's going to be miserable tomorrow. but you're here to give us the misery index. that's pretty hot spots. i mean, if you you know, some people like 90's and triple digits, right? but >> the good news is only stick around for about a day day and a half. then we start to cool down. but yeah, we've got the grasses that are starting to change out there. now we've seen those turning brown around the bay area will see

more of that on the way live look outside right now. you've got some hazy conditions outside. we got some patchy fog moving in along the coastline. but here's your fire weather forecast as we take you through the next 24 hours. you this afternoon. you've got some areas that are elevated, of course, well inland. and that's generally where you get most. that heat and that lower humidity. i think overnight tonight, still enough for the seabreeze. but then by tomorrow afternoon, things begin to pick up again. you see some of that in the north bay, at least a elevation. the risk there for fire weather as we head toward tomorrow afternoon. and of course, in the city that kind of plays out to the summer generally not much. but you got to be careful this time of year. definitely great time to take care of the grasses in around your homes to make sure that you're safe. should a fire start air starting to be an issue to around the bay area? but looking good. we've got some places with moderate amounts up building up outside right now, parts of the north bay, the east bay and the santa clara valley. otherwise most bay area in the green tomorrow, high pressure overhead looking good in the north and the coast. but a little haze in the east bay in the south bay by tomorrow

afternoon. so overall, high pressure. yeah, it's going to dominate here through least nhe next day and a half or so as that ridge going to bring a really so the hottest temperatures the week, i think by tomorrow afternoon, maybe some triple digit heat showing up in some of the interior valleys. this one of those times, again, huge contrast in temperatures. you may be looking at 100 degrees in livermore. then temperatures in the low 60's along the coastline. almost a 40 degree spread in a very short distance there. so over the next couple days, here it is. we're going to see high pressure overhead. temperatures stay hot, inland cooling down a little bit on wednesday. more cooling expected for everyone on thursday. thanks, lawrence. pro-palestinian protesters rallied outside san francisco's federal building today. >> demanding an end to the ongoing war and they're taking legal action to try to stop the u.s. from supporting israel like the white house has been. >> every single member of my family at this point has either been. what is being star has been displaced and all of them have been

dispossessed. everything. well, meaning and value to that. in the most, deliver it and well documented fashion. >> the lawsuit filed dame's president biden, secretary of state antony blinken and defense secretary lloyd austin as defendants. >> just a few months after democrats and republicans in the legislature announced some bi-partisan bills too address the issue of retail theft. leaders of each party are now accusing the other of pl-ying politics with the legislation are capitol correspondent eytan wallace says the story. >> retail theft. it's an issue. republicans and democrats in the legislature have long said they want to see addressed so much so that earlier this year, legislative leaders from both sides of the aisle announced a package of bills. they dubbed the bipartisan safer. california plan they believe will help tackle the issue. >> i'm on the bills in the package. one that would expand the california highway patrol

property crimes task force and another that would increase penalties against retail thieves involved in the resale of stolen items. common sons, effective that will blunt retail theft and local crime. but the bills do not propose to overturn prop. 47 passed by california voters in 2014, the law changed certain nonviolent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, including theft when the items stolen are valued at less than $950. while supporters have long argued the law will help reduce california's prison population and lead to criminal justice reform opponents to this day say it emboldened criminals to take part in certain crimes like retail theft, with little to no punishment, property. 7 has been an unmitigated disaster for public safety in california. >> and so until this legislature get serious about fixing prop 47, we're going to keep pushing for reforms. and that includes at the ballot box. and that's exactly what voters can expect this

november after a group of district attorneys and others in public safety. >> say they've collected enough signatures to qualify a ballot measure asking voters to overturn prop 47 governor gavin newsom does not want to see that happen. i don't think there's a need to happen on i have something on the ballot. doesn't actually achieve the goals that are i do something that can't be done legislatively. democratic legislative leaders, including senate president pro tempore mike mcguire agree with newsom and now they're proposing amendments to many of the retail bills, amendments that would make the bills take effect immediately this summer with the governor's signature, but would also cancel the bills of voters overturned. prop 47. it helps avoid having conflicting laws. >> in policies regarding retail theft so that we can be sure these are held accountable. but republicans believe the anti prep 47 ballot measure and the retail theft bills can both become they argue the democrat backed amendments are part of a

larger plan to defeat the ballot measure. they're trying to deceive the voters into believing that there's a choice. there's not a choice we can do both. the cynical part is. >> the democrats are putting this in place so that the ballot summary entitle can say >> that this initiative and does public safety bills passed in the legislature and make it look like we're undoing it and making it less safe. that's the sentence. that's the cynical part. here's what i have to say to that. >> hogwash. hogwash. >> we're putting emergency clause into these bills so they take effect immediately. who doesn't support that as a cynical attempt. >> to remove the voters right to have a say on this important issue. >> and as you can see, this is a passionate debate likely be front and center on tuesday when lawmakers take up the retail tough to bills at the public safety committee reporting at the state capitol wallace kron. 4 news.
