heels, man, i'm sorry. got to do a retraction here. it turns out barney's beanery does serve pizza, so it probably was pizza. so that's my. it's been a while since you've been there. it has been a while fans filled oracle park as the giants took the field where live with the orange and black and the a's departure sparking further fallout for oakland. >> we've got the latest on the job losses expected to accompany the team's exit, and congressman mark desaulnier wrapping up a series of town halls. >> we'll sit down live with the congressman to talk about the key issues facing communities here in the bay area and beyond. next from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is the four giants fans packed oracle park this afternoon to celebrate the team's home opener and what will soon be the bay area's only

major league baseball team, and the farewell fallout from the a's announcement this week already palpable ahead of their big move to sacramento next year as the a's bay area staff brace for layoffs. >> welcome to four on this friday. i'm frank mallicoat and i'm crystal bailey. >> first at four. giants baseball is back in the bay. and ktvu christien kafton joins us live from oracle field where the game is tied up in the bottom of the ninth. >> yeah. hey, crystal. frank, just get this. they're paying me to be here today. what a great day for work. hanging out at oracle park. take a look. if you take a look out over there, you can see the padres. just warming up their pitcher here in the bottom of the ninth. as you said, crystal, we are tied two two. there was a lot of excitement leading up to the giants home opener, and the giants. they have not disappointed. the san francisco oracle park here, decked out and ready for the giants to take on the padres in san francisco's home opener today. right hander

jordan hicks starting the game off with a strike today. fans say that they are ready for the excitement that comes with seeing the home team play their first series at home and looking good. >> i mean, i'm excited for today. we're one and one with them, you know, they we beat them the first day. the second day they came back crushed us. we crushed them. so today is the real deal. >> yeah. today definitely the real deal. as you can tell. still tied up in the ninth. the giants front office also saying they have high hopes for the season. they're saying that the addition of bob melvin and big names like jordan hicks who again started today, jung ho lee, matt chapman and blake snell all bringing lots of excitement to the season and we will have a whole lot more coming up for you today at five. hopefully the game wound up there with a win for san francisco by 5:00. we'll be right here with all the details for you coming up. >> all right kristen tough assignment. looks like no one's left so far. i'm. i'm curious. home opener. it's got to be

great news for all the businesses in that area. how about that? did you chat with some of them? >> yeah, absolutely. a great news for all the businesses in the area here. as a matter of fact, frank, we just went over to momo's a little earlier. he says there's a reason why today is circled on his calendar. the owner there telling me this is the busiest day, the home opener, the busiest day outside of a playoff game. and it says it marks the busy season around oracle park. now, we did see hundreds of fans parked packed into the bar, earlier before the game, some of them saying telling us that they flew in just for today's game. we talked with a mother and daughter who say that this is a new tradition for them, and we also talked with a couple of padres fans who flew up for today's game. they tell us that they had a great welcome here in the bay area. and they say despite today's game, there is some common ground that both teams can agree on, and that is a shared hatred for the dodgers. again, we still

see a couple of pods fans here, they are, clearly hoping for a different outcome. but you know what? this is our home opener. go, giants. yeah exactly. >> a christian, obviously we're hearing a lot of activity out there. what? what is going on? wait wait wait wait. >> we might have the run right there. there it is. safe check that out. wow, guys, that is live tv. that is the end of the game. you can see the giant walking off right now winning their home opener in the bottom of the ninth. guys, i told you to stay with us. look at the excitement there on the field. and martin, if we can pan around and show this crowd the crowd absolutely on their feet, they are thrilled. this is exactly the outcome we were hoping for. guys, i told you we were going to have it wrapped up by the five. looks like we had it

wrapped up at 404, right? nice. not too bad guys. you know what? you know what you guys ask frank . crystal i delivered for you guys. >> all right, well, we got to leave it there, christian, but you missed your calling. play by play may be in your future. >> go, giants. >> giants, win it by a score of 3 to 2 in their home opener. now on the other side of the bay, the financial repercussions of the a's departure top of mind for many and the a's already notifying some office staff workers that they'll be laid off as soon as the off season. >> since sacramento operations will require less staff. >> now, tom vacar joins us live now with details on those layoffs and the people behind the counter and in the stands expected to be let go in mass, i would imagine. tom. >> well, i'd have to say it's kind of like mudville over there. if the a's leaving is a bummer for the fans. it's a broadsides for the workers. now, we spoke to an a's bartender of ten years who says losing these good union paying jobs has already been tough, given the poor play of the a's on the field. here's how he thinks his livelihood will be impacted. >> this is the time of the year where a lot of us workers, we pay our bills from working for

the a's. you got so many people that will be out of health care from may all the way to october, which is really bad. moms, dads, grandpa, parents, everything. seniors. you have a lot of younger people with families, with small children. all us employees. we stayed loyal to him even though they wasn't putting a decent product on the field. we haven't heard them say anything about a severance pay for us workers. >> now, replacing those good union paying jobs, hundreds and hundreds of them will be very tough. with so many people being put out on the street all at the same time. back to you and coming up at five. i just want you to know that we're going to talk about this whole issue as it relates to the east bay alliance for sustainable economy. they're telling us lots of these workers are from east oakland, and that the lack of these jobs is a hard hit for that already economically disadvantaged area.

>> tom, obviously really sad news for a lot of these workers where most of them full time or part time. and i assume many of these people were union under union. >> they indeed they are union and they are by definition part time jobs because they pool just in the food service alone from 800 people. so sometimes you work, sometimes you don't, depending on how many people are showing up. and these days with so few people showing up, you know they have to pass the work around as best they can, recognizing that their seniority and other rights going on. but it is a situation where, you know, these folks are really looking to see what the next chapter in their lives are going to be. and as i say, many of them are senior citizens that supplement their incomes with this. >> and a lot of them have worked there a lot of years as well. >> many, many years, in fact. it's often said that if you really want to know something about a team, talk to the ushers because many of them have been there for decades and are serious baseball fans. >> thank you tom. tough job there. >> thank you. all righty. thank you tom. turning now to our bay area weather, a live look at, well, the coliseum this friday night. all quiet there. the a's

are in detroit and a cool start to the day. and apparently throughout much of the weekend as well. let's check in with our meteorologist rosemary oroczo on that all important weekend forecast. and it's kind of chilly out there. >> you're right. temperatures are going to be awfully cool through the weekend and tomorrow. even a frost advisory for some of our valley locations again, that coming tomorrow. meanwhile, outside our doors at this hour, a mix of blue sky and clouds and thunderstorms as expected. giving you a look here at sfo where we do have blue skies there. but as we turn it over to storm tracker two and i take you to the north, take a peek at what is going on. just on the east side of the napa valley. we've got thunderstorms reported there. looks like it's over the higher elevations, although we could have some communities embedded in there as well as, you know, if you're near a thunderstorm, take shelter. they can be very dangerous. here's a look at the east bay, where again, it looks primarily over our east bay hills. but we could have pockets of heavier rain falling along 682 highway 24 near walnut creek, san ramon and down

towards looks like livermore and pleasanton along 580, shifting into mount hamilton area as well as the diablo range. and notice the pink out there. still, snow levels have come up to about 3000ft, but still really low snow levels this morning, all the way down to about 1500ft. here's a look at the sierra, where it looks like right about colfax. that rain snow line exists at the moment. the future cast will show you what we do expect into the evening hours. do expect the activity to continue at least through about sunset. the timestamp there reads 7 p.m. for you and then drying out for the evening and tomorrow looks dry, but going to be very cold as we start the day. meanwhile, at this hour, temperatures are up with some sunshine out there today. santa rosa up by 13 degrees, san jose up by four. we have temperatures ranging from low 50s to low 60s for most, although napa right now sitting at 46 degrees. perhaps with those thunderstorms overhead. a better look at what we can expect for tomorrow morning, including that frost

advisory on the rest of the weekend for you coming up. >> thank you. rosemary, a break in the legislative session means time for the community for some local lawmakers. up next, here are the four. >> we're live with congressman mark desaulnier to talk about his latest tour. tackle issues that matter in the east bay, most of them right around the bay area. and some are around

week, but the easter break does not necessarily mean vacation for congressional leaders. bay area congressman mark desaulnier using the time to embark on a series of town halls and listening tours, and talk with members of the community about the pressing, pressing issues that we face right here at home. >> and joining us live here in studio is the congressman to talk about some of those tours that he has been on. but before we get to those highlights of those tours, obviously you we've got a big news here this week,

especially in the east bay with the a's departure. i know you and congresswoman barbara lee introduced moneyball act. can you talk a little bit about where that stands today? obviously, you know, we're looking at rob manfred having waived mlb's fees for the relocation, what does this mean for the a's? >> well, our bill would just say when a major league baseball team leaves an area, they return the money that has been subsidized to them so that there's less of an impact. we try to do this in what's called a warn act in federal government . for when they lay people off, they had to have to notify the labor department. but we think it's appropriate that they repay some of these things. so and if they don't, we would take away the antitrust provision that major league baseball has. >> and where does that sit? >> well, we're trying to work to get republican support with it as well. so we just it's we're not doing a lot in congress. so trying to move it, but i'm reasonably enthusiastic. major

league baseball and sports have become so monetized that i don't they don't need the antitrust provision. >> can you talk about the i mean, tom vacar just did a piece on good union jobs that are going to be lost. probably not filled again. and a lot of people, this was part time work, but, you know, it paid their bills. they're out of jobs. the tax benefits to alameda county, the oakland a's players pay taxes. the team pays taxes. well, that's going to be lost. >> and the multipliers, the restaurants, you know, places people go before the game after the game. so it's a big impact in oakland and alameda county have put a lot of money into their sports teams to get them stay, and it's obviously a big identity for the east bay. so it's really it's it makes me angry to tell you the truth. and congressman, obviously you're here for all these tours and these town halls. >> what are the highlights or what's what are you getting back from people, the responses that you've had? >> well, i love doing these. i was in the restaurant business

before politics, so i like engaging with people. you get a lot of good ideas. you get real genuine feedback, so listening tours are around education and health care right now because those are i'm on the education committee and also, the senior democrat on the health, employment, labor and pensions subcommittee. so it's just getting good ideas that i can take back and work. and the town halls generally, those people want to get out and talk about politics, and they want to be in a community meeting, so there we probably had 400 people live, in person, and then we probably had another 3 or 400 watching. how many have you done in your in the nine plus years i've been in congress, i've done 209. >> that's remarkable. i imagine it's the people from martinez might have been in some of those meetings. they're a little upset with the refineries there. i used to live there. there's an odor, the coke dust that is come out of some of the flaring and whatnot. what can be done to make sure those people are healthy? >> well, i've spent a lot of time on this. when i was a

county supervisor, we had jurisdiction over three of the four, and then i was on the air district and i was on the state air resources board. so i've spent a lot of time with them. we passed really good ordinances. the problem with this particular plant, it used to be run by shell. they were the best performing in the state, they sold to another company, whose heritage was in a company called tosco. and 20 years ago, they killed five people at the refinery just west of the one they owned. so they are thin, they grind their they grind the rules. we found when we did the full investigation 25 years ago that those five people died in two incidences because of the corporate culture. and i'm afraid that's what sure looks like they've brought to this facility, because it went from the best performing of all our refineries in california to the worst. wow. >> now let's turn it a little bit to the national news of this. you know, boeing united, all these ongoing flight issues. i know you are on the oversight committee for faa aviation safety has been very important

to you for a long time. what's the update? what's the latest in trying to mitigate these issues? >> well, we've got a really good faa director. president biden put in secretary buttigieg, a really good person in there because the agency was lethargic and wasn't doing its job. in my view. they did a thorough review of boeing, and it's quite scathing about their safety culture. lots of stupid mistakes , like the one on the alaska flight where they forgot to put the bolts in. this is completely unacceptable. and they've been living off of a reputation. when you look at their main competitor, airbus, which is in france, and it's a partnership with the eu, it's quite startling how different it is. so that's got to stop. and then united is another culture where they're pushing too much product and it's at the expense of the consumers and the risks that they're presenting. so that's our job to tell them we're not going to let this happen. >> i know you were at a town hall meeting recently where the issue of the middle east obviously came up. it's an awful

thing that's happening right there. the airstrikes that caused the death of some of those aid workers that were there to feed people. well, and you put out a tweet and i think we can show it to the to the viewers here, if you don't mind, you said that netanyahu's government that this is unacceptable and you called for an immediate and lasting cease fire, return of israeli hostages and the resources necessary to address the hunger crisis going on in gaza right now. congressman how can we end this war? >> we've got to put as much pressure as we can on the current on the current prime minister. he's dragging it out. he's under indictment. so when he's this is over, he's got that hanging over his head and it's just unconscionable that he's been able to do this. one of the one of the cabinet secretaries, benny gantz, who a former general, he called for early elections yesterday. so that's a good sign if he can get enough

people to agree with him, they'll have an election, a national election in september, i believe without that, it'll be another two years in 2026. but is the damage done? >> i mean, oh, all the palestine, palestinian people that have been killed creating a whole nother generation of people that yep, do not like israel? >> no. i mean, the hatred continues. this is a 3000 year. yeah. legacy here. but his that was one of the reasons i jumped in so quickly is this is the worst strategy. i believe in israel's sovereignty and its right to defend itself and the whole people accountable. and hamas and get them who caused october 7th. but this is not the way to respond. it's actually making the situation worse in addition to the total loss of any kind of moral authority for israel and in many ways for the us, because we're a close ally. >> you were telling us before the break that you've had some people at your town halls actually petitioning for a cease fire. correct. so there's just been a lot of obviously, controversy here as people are very emotional about this issue.

but moving on, you know, recently you announced $15 million from the federal government in your district to help homelessness and housing, why is this a federal issue? why instead of taking it up with the state and local government, are you taking it on? >> well, since i've been a city council member or mayor or county supervisor and a legislator, it's all of these. it's all of the above. california has 12% of the us population, but i think we're up to like over 30% of the homeless population because of housing costs, behavioral health issues in some areas. so we've we've got to address this. and then the last part is we have the highest level of inequality since the gilded age. and this is a symptom because people can't afford particularly housing costs here in five seconds. >> congressman, are you hopeful you can get work done? >> i'm hopeful, but it's up to the american voters in november. that's when things have got to change. otherwise i'm i despair somewhat. >> okay. obviously a lot of key issues here that you're working on. thank you, congressman, for being with us today.

>> my pleasure. thanks r having me. my dry eye's made me a burning, stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye. tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough, and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me. my own real tears are my relief. ask your eye doctor about tyrvaya.

>> yeah, i mean, one of the biggest topics of discussion this week, frank, and with us this week on the issue is we have chef andrew gruel, who is a restaurant owner, and also michael tubbs, who has worked on poverty issues for the governor of california, former mayor of stockton, both of them with different takes on this. >> i think that the bills intention is actually really good. i think that we should be treating our workers a lot better. i think people should be paying them more. i've said this. i've railed against the corporations. i just don't necessarily agree with the means by which they get there. i think that a lot of the language in this bill is incredibly redundant. most of these powers already exist in a broad scope. by virtue of the labor of the office of labor and industrial relations, osha. you know, there's wage and hour violations that occur. and, you know, paga is basically incredibly broad across california. and the trial attorneys make a ton of money when they penalize people on that. my philosophy behind this bill is, is that it's actually going to hurt the worker because they're going to get laid off. a

lot of things are going to get automated. the big corporations saw this coming, and they're already starting to do that. we've seen it with pizza hut. we've heard all the news over the past couple of days, and then those workers are going to be out of job, which is going to cost the state more money and unemployment benefits. >> so i don't think any law is perfect, but i do think sort of raising the floor as you've done with your businesses is good, right? and i think we also have to be thoughtful about it's not a magic bullet. it's not going to solve everything. we should look at sort of ways to reward good employers. we should look at ways to make it easier for small businesses to operate. but i think for the state of california, it's a good thing. and as we've seen since we've raised the minimum wage the last several years, that i think over 100,000 fast food jobs have been created since the minimum wage rose in 2015, 16, 17, 18, and now. >> so that's one of the many issues we talk about with them. we also talk about the issue of immigration with bill melugin, plus a recent event we did with steven spielberg talking about the issue of anti-semitism a lot coming up this week on the

issue. is frank, back to you. >> i would say you you have covered the gambit there in a big way. alex michaelson live for us in l.a. alex, thank you for tha and you can catch the full episo of the issue is this sunday morning, 630 right here on ktvu. >> job growth is up. is on the up and up. we'll sit down with an expert to dig into the data an w

number of layoffs for the

company since the pandemic. according to documents filed with the state employment development department, the positions are being eliminated that are software, hardware and development engineers, data scientists and machine shop managers. those layoffs might be due to apple scrapping its self-driving car project earlier this year. industry experts say some of those workers may relocate to apple's artificial intelligence division. >> it's clear that making more complex, different type of products like cars is very hard. artificial intelligence, by comparison, is very much within the wheelhouse of apple making software. so in a lot of ways, it makes sense to put more effort toward that. >> now we have reached out to apple for a comment about those layoffs, but have not yet heard back. >> well, they were cheering this morning and they are cheering this afternoon. stocks rallied in a big way on wall street today. surprisingly strong u.s. jobs report. but traders also

found signs of hope that inflation is easing a bit. the dow was up 307 points. nasdaq gained 199 points, s&p was up 57 points. tech shares helped to fuel the rally with shares of nvidia up nearly 2.5. apple up a half of percent. despite some layoffs today. good day on wall street. an even better march jobs report. you might call it sizzling hot. the economy added 303,000 new jobs. it was the biggest jump since last may. that number, far above the 200,000 jobs that economists had predicted. unemployment rate dipped from 3.9 to 3.8. jobless rate has sat below 4% for 26 straight months, the longest streak since the 1960s. wages were up 4.1% from a year earlier. smaller year over year increase since mid 2021. a little insight into the numbers we welcome in certified financial planner james mcbride. good to have you with us. good

to see you, frank. usually you come in on bad news. everything's coming up roses today. >> i'm very excited to be here today i guess so. >> well, a good jobs report means people are not unemployed. they're spending money. what's your reaction to that? >> it's just all good news. one of the things that came out in today's report two was the labor participation rate. so now 62, which is really at a pre-covid level, that's really good. that means more and more people are coming into the job market, which makes the unemployment number look even better. right? because you have more people looking for jobs. and we're pointing towards some really good numbers, 62, like i say, which is almost pre-covid, it was about, say, 66% just before the great recession, 67, about in 2000. so the trend is your friend. it's going up, right. more people are working, as you said, wage gains 4.1% year over year. that's pretty darn good. it's better than inflation. and people are spending that money, which is has a lot to do with the stock market doing well.

>> it's kind of interesting where the jobs are going. health care one. but leisure and hospitality. >> that's exactly right. so people are want to get out and about and spend some disposable income. >> right. that's right. >> that this pent up demand they call it. and people that are out there spending a health care came in number one. you know, something like 70% a government jobs were about 71. then you're right, hospitality and leisure came in about 49. and then construction 39,000. so, you know, across the board really some really good numbers. yeah. >> it's good to be in here today. >> i really like this. >> well, let's pop the i-word inflation interest rate hikes. we've had 11 in the last almost the last two years. i think you're right. have not seen one since july. right. and we got a quote here from the fed chief jerome powell i want to read it to you. and this is what he said. we do not expect that it will be appropriate to lower our policy rate until we have greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably down towards its, two are down towards so i guess inflation is

about what, 3.1% right now. so yeah. you perceive any any cuts. >> depends on the index. they're all around 3. the fed's preferred index which is the pce. the personal consumption expenditure index came in at about 2.8. so if you think about it i mean it was twice that a year ago. three times that two years ago. going back to what i said earlier, the trend is your friend, no question about it. but i think what mr. powell is saying is, look, we're not going to lower interest rates until we are absolutely sure that inflation will not reemerge, period. but what we've seen in the stock market is i think people are looking beyond that. and they're saying, you know, enough with all the worrying about when the fed is going to cut interest rates. let's look at what's happening. we've got a really hot economy. why is that? consumer spending two thirds of our gdp on fire. better than expected. wages are going up, which only adds to that. and then you have corporations posting really good earnings.

and i can tell you, after 30 plus years in the business, stock prices follow earnings sooner or later. >> i wish i bought nvidia about six months ago, by the way. we all do. >> frank i know well well let's talk about stock market. >> i believe it's up 10% this year. it's up 30% in the last 12 months. i don't have a crystal ball. but you do this for a living. an election year trend is your friend. are we are we heading that way towards. well the more ups the election is, that's not till november, right? >> what wall street wants is a divided government. whether they get it or not. we'll find out in november. but what's really exciting is you had a tremendous start to the year. you know, in the last trading day of february three, the dow jones industrial average and the s&p 500 both hit all time highs like deja vu. on the last trading day of march, the s&p 500 dow jones industrial average had all time highs. it was the best first quarter for the s&p 500 since 2019, when all the major indices have been up, like you said, for five consecutive months. the bottom

line is, is when you start the year that positive research shows that you're going to have a positive return at the end of the year. typically around 15% versus about 9. normally so nothing but good news today. >> does the election have any bearing on the market though? down the road i really don't know. >> i just know what the preference for wall street is. >> yeah. all right. james mcbride, thank you very much. good to see you. insight. you came in on a good news day i love it. all right. good to have you here. >> and next on the floor for a bay area native now with a crown. we're live with miss black california usa 2024 to talk about her accomplishments and the next step in her journey . >> it's the bay area this afternoon tracking thunderstorm followed by a very chilly start tomorrow. have a look at what you can expe oming

the next generation of black female leaders, the program touts. it's not just a pageant, it's a sisterhood redefining beauty and encouraging black women to use their voices for good and with beauty, grace, and a whole lot of community involvement. we're joined by deidre toofan, miss black california, usa 2024, deidra, welcome. >> thank you so much. great to

be here and wow you you know how to make an introduction. thank you for welcoming me here. so excited to be here. absolutely. >> well congratulations on your title. >> thank you. tell me thank you so much. >> what was the journey like? what does it mean to you to be mrs. black? california usa. >> oh, it means everything to me being able to not only represent the bay area, which is where i was born and raised, but also black women who have a variety and diverse background. and for me, being also a first generation american, it means a lot for me to hold this title, because my family is a representation of the american dream. and so i'm very proud to be american, and i'm proud to be miss black california. >> that's amazing. and i know you've spent a lot of time in the east bay from livermore, spent some time in oakland. so we're obviously very happy to have you. now, i understand that you're very passionate about mental health eating disorders, tell me a little bit about your advocacy and what kind of work you've done in that area. >> yes, of course. so i'm an official collaborator with the national eating disorders association, which strives for the awareness as well as advocacy for recovery from eating disorders. and i stand as

a representative from the bipoc, meaning the black and indigenous people of color communities, because eating disorders do not discriminate. i'm a 90s baby. i grew up in the 2000, and the image of eating disorders was very particular. and i'm here to stand as a source of representation that they do affect everyone, regardless of your socioeconomic background, regardless of your race, regardless of whether you're even from this country or not. globally, they affect about 10% of any given population. and unfortunately, i became a statistic. but i'm here to defy the odds and to represent what recovery looks like. >> that's amazing. and i know you've learned a lot about your personal journey. i also know that you are multilingual. all right. >> so this which means yes, i am. >> wow. okay. tell me first of all, how many languages do you speak? oh my. >> i can speak multiple. i'd say about eight. but conversation only about four. >> okay. what are those languages? >> so those languages are english. obviously spanish. i also am fluent in japanese. it's my strongest behind english. wow. as well as hebrew. >> wow. those are very unique

and very different languages. so that's obviously a huge talent. thank you. what is that opportunity or the ability to speak all of those languages. what opportunities has it afforded you. oh wow. >> it's afforded me so many to start with. i was able to be a reporter on national japanese television for the tokyo broadcasting system. there was a program called sekai shiki hakken, which is discovering the world's mysteries, where they compare different japanese locations to areas all across the world. and i happen to be a bay area correspondent twice. wow. so that's a huge accomplishment of mine. >> so you know what's going on behind the scenes. you know, everything going on that's amazing. now, obviously you've got this title of influence. there's a level of influence that obviously is probably a very big responsibility. so tell me, first of all, what it's like to have little girls that look like you, that are black and brown, young girls who are looking up to you, and what kind of responsibility do you have there? >> it's amazing. it's a great power. and with great power comes great responsibility. i do live my life the way that i

would want my peers to live. and the girls coming behind me, i want to be someone that they can be proud of. and i'm very big on self-help as well as self-improvement and mental health and really fulfilling the wishes and dreams and being that that woman that the inner child in me wanted to become, being that is, it means the world to me. it's why i do this. it's why i wrote my book. it's why i'm wearing this crown on my head. it's because i do believe that i can be good at being a role model, and i'd like to think i am. >> so you've written a book. you're very accomplished at such a young age. talk to me a little bit about what that's like. what what the actual book represents for you. >> yes. so my book is beauty and body diversity. it is self published. it is available on amazon for anyone who's interested. but it is a book about my personal journey, and it's written for ages between nine all the way to 99. honestly, the inspiration for the book actually was my personal life experience and i've always loved to write. since nine years old. my. i got

my first journal in 2004. i'm aging myself, but i was nine years old and i have over 30 different journals in my home, talking about my trials and tribulations, my goals, my accomplishments. the japanese news network accomplishment was in there too, but something i realized upon reflecting on that was that i've had some troubling behaviors as well as some ideations, since that young age. and because we i was raised in a generation where it was perceived to be only a certain person who got eating disorders, a lot of my symptoms went under the radar, and it caused a lot of unnecessary suffering. and when you look at the statistics for the national eating disorders association, black and brown people, people of color in general tend to go underserved, under-recognized, and honestly gaslit. if we can say that they've been gaslit, that it doesn't affect us, but it truly does. as a kid, i always thought, you know, eating disorders to black people are like some sunburns to black people. we don't we just don't get them. that's not true, everyone. we're spf this summer. please do spf 50 and above. but also eating disorders affect us too. and it's really important for me to express that because

they don't discriminate. it's important that in all communities, not just the black communities and not just in people of color, but regardless of your demographic, to really do that due diligence and make sure that we're really making health inclusive, that's amazing. >> deidre, i would love to hear what's next for you. you've got this amazing title, you've already accomplished so much and you're not even 30. so tell me what is next for you? >> so next is the very exciting miss black usa. i'll be going there in august to compete alongside black women from all across the country. and potentially win miss black usa, which is incredible to me to think of that opportunity. but in addition to getting an all expense paid trip, there is meeting with so many powerful women doctors, lawyers, reporters like yourself and teachers and honestly, the future leaders of this country and being able to be something much larger than myself, it's something that i in japanese, we call it takaramono. it's a treasure that you can't replace,

i love that. >> thank you so much, deidre. your your journey is very inspiring and i love hearing what you do. obviously here in the bay area. we'll be rooting for you to win. thank you so much. and we're here sitting with deidre tufan, miss california usa 2024. thank you so much for joining us. i thank you for having me. >> bravo. my goodness, how impressive, back now to the bay area weather a live look at mount diablo this afternoon, which has a little rainbow out there. boy, that is just gorgeous, kind of a mixed bag out there. let's find out our forecast as we say hello to the first full weekend or maybe the second here in the month of april. >> yes, frank, but this pattern, it seems to keep repeating itself. right. we get a good amount of rain one day, and then the next day after that, we are met by an active pattern, including those beautiful rainbows. and here's a look over our green hills where you can see the dark sky. there we've got scattered showers reported. we have thunderstorms reported. in fact, there's a new lightning

strike right there. 580 close to it. looks like the pleasanton livermore area, maybe just right about could be over the diablo range. but the takeaway here is we have brief downpours. the possibility of hail, thunder and lightning going off across parts of the bay area. we had some earlier this afternoon on the east side there of napa, and we are now looking at all that over the east bay, primarily over the hills, but we can't rule out the possibility of some of it closer to the surface, perhaps a little bit of rain in a pocket of moderate rain between middletown and saint helena there, and then shifting into the east bay right now it looks like a 680 highway for meets, where it meets 580. we've got quite a bit of rain there and it could be coming down pretty good over the diablo range and the mount hamilton area. we continue with the rain snow mix there. snow levels fell all the way down to about 1500ft this morning. they're back up to about 3000ft, but still very low, especially for this time of

year. the futurecast here will show you this system is going to be pushing out tomorrow. we will be met by dry conditions, although with the clear skies, the north breeze, it is going to be a very cold start and there is a frost advisory for our north bay valleys as well as our east bay valleys. we're now into sunday and notice what's going on right in here. now we are just on the southern edge, but we could have a few scattered showers pushed through. right now it looks like late saturday into early sunday morning. it doesn't look like a big deal, but we will be here tracking that for you. meanwhile, this afternoon temperatures finally coming up a little bit warmer compared to yesterday with some of that sunshine out there today, 13 degrees warmer in santa rosa for the east bay shore. you're five degrees warmer in oakland 57 right now. oakland 54, in the city of san francisco. all in all, we are below average by several degrees. meanwhile tomorrow morning, just a check on how cold it's going to be 34 degrees to start your day in santa rosa. 38 in areas over concord, again, the areas with 30 are frost

advisory until 9 a.m. 45 to start your day in san francisco. that's a chilly one for the city and then the afternoon highs for tomorrow. slightly better than today, but still below average for many as we get into the extended forecast. a tad warmer on sunday and then we get into some very mild warmer weather monday, tuesday into wednesday. upper 70s in the forecast with mostly sunny skies. so we're going to go from upper 50s to low 60s today to nearing 80 degrees by wednesday. and it looks like thursday. back to you. >> we were due rosemary. we were due. bring it on. much more news. headed your way. but first let's take you outside a live look at traffic conditions along the east shore freeway on this afternoon, as people making their way home on a friday evening commute. and it might be a while, especially if you are heading, towards albany and away from oakland right now. it looks pretty crowded out there, and it is one of the most infamous murders in northern california history. >> the kidnaping and killing of 12 year old polly klaas coming

up at five. why her killer may have his sentence changed. >> also coming up at 5:00, a bumpy exit for passengers on a united flight at sfo. what the airline says happened as the jet was pulling into the

they bloomed a few weeks early this year in japan due to cold temperatures, the trees are usually at peak bloom in late

march to early april. thousands of visitors today braved the chilly weather in tokyo to see the famed blossoms in full bloom . >> it's breathtaking when they it's been pretty to see a few, but as they all bloom right now, it's just it's really breathtaking thing to see. we feel fortunate and travel industry experts say this year the economic impact of cherry blossom season in japan, from travel to parties held under the flowers, is estimated to be $7.3 billion. >> wow. well, people from all over the country traveling for a chance to view monday's solar eclipse. for many, this is a once in a lifetime experience. one woman from texas calls herself an eclipse chaser. this will be her 21st eclipse. she's seen. her passion for the celestial event has taken her all seven continents. >> north america was the 1991, my second one in north america was the 2017, and this will be my third. but i've been to europe for one of them. i've now

gone to africa twice. i've gone to australia three times. i've gone to antarctica twice. >> she's moved around. she also goes to schools and shares her passion for solar eclipses with the students. >> and an animal shelter came up with a very interesting and fun way of getting some disabled dogs out in the sunshine. this shelter in turkey cares for 500 animals, 300 of them are disabled. the owner wanted the special needs dogs to get some much needed outside time. so she attached plastic barrels to an atv and the wolf express was born. shelter workers are planning to add a tarp so the animals can have some shade. and in this ktvu idea of the day, we asked image generator midjourney to imagine an even larger lf train full of happy dogs soaking in the sunshine and getting some fresh air. they look beautiful. honestly i love those dogs and here what it came up with. you can see it's not real because all the ds are looking at the

camera at the same time. unusual for a photo of dogs, right? pretty coothough. okay, the five is oming up. it ain't my dad's razor, dad. ay watch it! it's from gillettelabs. this green bar releases trapped hairs from my face... gamechanga! ...while the flexdisc contours to it. so the five blades can get virtually every hair in one stroke. for the ultimate gillette shaving experience. the best a man can get is gillettelabs. wanna know a secret? with new secret outlast, you can almost miss the bus... but smell like you didn't. secret fights 99% of odor-causing bacteria. smell fresh for up to 72 hours. secret works! it's a crime to smell that good.

spell is on. she's in a recliner. she's in her happy

place. especially when it's the hometown team the tigers. while macular degeneration has impacted how the 90 year old fan sees the game has not robbed her of her joy that baseball season brings each year. and today, thanks to her grandkids birthday gift to her, she's at the tigers home opener today against the oakland a's. >> watching her watch the game will be the best part. >> whatever i ask or say comes true. i mean, it's like magic. they're just they're a wonderful bunch of kids. >> so margaret, along with a really extended and loving family of 40, we're at the tigers ballpark today. and she saw her beloved tigers beat the a's, who are now one and seven. the final wow, 5 to 440 40 grammy. >> that's amazing. now one of the best parts of going to the ballpark for many is all the food options. >> of course. as for fans heading to any home game for the giants, there's a lot of options. there's the old standbys and a few new items as

well. >> our sal castaneda has a look and a taste of oracle park for the brand new season. >> going to watch the giants at oracle park is now sort of like going to an upscale food court where there happens to be a baseball game going on. so many choices this season. new offerings include chef david chang's fuku, a trendy spicy fried chicken concept. you can get a fuku chicken sandwich or nuggets. it's honestly some of the best fried chicken i've ever had. it's spicy, but not too spicy in a sandwich with pickles on a brioche bun, it's really good. the giants have also rolled out a new bacon cheeseburger, which rivals a lot of the burger bars in the city. it has two patties, bacon, american cheese also served on a brioche bun. burgers at baseball stadiums used to be not very good. this changes all that. and you can't forget an oracle park favorite. the dungeness crab sandwich with aioli spread and a sprinkle of sea salt served on grilled sourdough bread can you

tell i'm excited? don't worry. if you want the traditional garlic fries, pizza and brats, those are still here. the giants have also upgraded the sound and lighting system. the latter of which will especially come into play at night games. the team says adding new options keeps people coming back. >> we really want people to feel like it's a fresh experience and kind of surprise and delight with new things. >> every year in san francisco, sal castaneda, ktvu, fox two news, kate icu fox two news at five starts now. >> now at five. one of the most infamous convicted killers in california history wants his death sentence overturned. why? the man found guilty of murdering 12 year old polly klaas is pushing for a new punishment. >> this case is the tip of the iceberg. it's going to happen again. and again and again and again. and i'll tell you what's going to happen in some instances, somebody is going to get out and mayhem will ensue. >> good evening. on this friday

night, i'm greg lee and i'm cristina rendon. >> it has been 30 years since polly klaas was kidnaped from a slumber party and then murdered. her killer, richard allen davis, has been on death row ever since, and now he hopes to change that. >> his attorneys believe a legal loophole may entitle him to resentencing. ktvu is an. reuben is live at the santa clara county hall of justice, where the case went before a judge today, an. >> yeah, the father of polly klaas was here, and he's furious that resentencing is even a possibility and that he has to relive this all over again. one of california's most notorious killers wants his death sentence overturned. it was back in 1996 that richard allen davis was convicted in the kidnaping and murder of 12 year old polly klaas, now he's back in court thanks to a change in the law. >> it's horrible. this should have ended 30 years ago. i had every expectation that once he went on death row, it was done. whether he was executed or not, it was finished. but here we are
