will be cooler coming up in just a few minutes. well now to this big story. an independent nonprofit is calling on the usda to remove lunchables from the national school lunch program. consumer reports claims the prepackaged kids lunch contains relatively high amounts of lead and cadmium. it also says all but one of its kits they tested contained harmful chemicals that are known hormone disruptors. none of the kits exceeded any federal limits. lunchables are served to 30 million children through the national lunch program, and we want some viewer reaction to this because so many of us ate lunchables. you know, back in the day. i love these things. they tasted so great this morning. we're asking you, should the usda remove lunchables from the national school lunch program? your options are. yes, two processed the other one no. love them or limit the lunchables scan the qr code or go to ktvu.com/viewer poll to vote. we'd love to hear what you think about all of this. welcome to the nine. i enjoy these so much. i'm

surprised to hear wait, like when you were a kid. when i was a kid. okay, now i don't have on my desk right now. garcia i do not, okay, i love them. >> what's in them? tell us what so. >> so, crackers, cheese, a little slices of ham or turkey or something like that. that come in there like cold cuts. yeah. so like a little cold or like, make your own pizza. >> right. >> well, that's a newer version. but we didn't have the fancy stuff back then, so i would take the crackers and the cheese and the cold cuts and put them in a little tiny cracker sandwich and eat that. yeah. >> yeah. well, there's chemicals in it, though i don't. >> well, now who knows? you know, i'm reading all this and it's interesting that we were raised on all this. >> i'm curious to know if it caused any issues. oh, i see over the 30 years because so many kids had them, i remember loved them. >> i remember when they launched. oh really, i think so. i think i'm a little older than you. i think i was, i remember i was a babysitter and when did they launch? producer megan, 89. okay, so was a baby. i was probably babysitting by then, early my babysitting years. and

i remember i saw it and i thought, wow, like, this is like a meal in a package. and my mom like, to this day will never serve us anything that you have to tear the cover off of. but i will say, and i've never had one, but they are the most convenient thing for parents. and if it's andre goes hungry or andre has a lunchable trust me, if i'm your mom, you're getting the lunch. >> sara casey on the news. when our producers told me the same thing, she says it's so convenient. she's got a couple of kids. and, you know, it's one thing when you just don't have time. yeah, it's convenient. >> it's not an every day. >> yeah, but once in a while, i didn't know they were in the school lunch program. >> i think i'm the og guy here because i never used them back in 1989. geez, i was long out of school. >> you were long out of college too. but yeah, you know what's wrong? >> what's wrong with a scoop of vegetables and a nice piece of lean meat? >> well, that takes that takes gathering even just going to the grocery store. >> the problem is it's processed. so it has all. >> it's super shelf stable. yeah. >> so it can sit. it's can sit on the shelf forever. and then you could eat it later. yeah.

>> maybe if you're on a remote island, it'll be interesting to see if we'll watch these numbers, see if they change. >> i see what happens. i love a good close vote, you know. >> so those those are nice and controversial. >> yeah. so go ahead and let us know what you think. we'll we'll check in again around 930 ish. now to a story that we're still talking about this morning, the winningest coach in college basketball history. she's won national championships an olympic gold medal. but in a few hours from now, legendary stanford women's basketball coach tara vanderveer is announcing her retirement. carol has been live on the stanford campus all morning as reaction keeps pouring in to this big news. >> good morning. garcia. yeah, i've asked a number of people this morning out here on stanford's campus. i said, if you could say one thing to tara vanderveer, what would it be? the same two words left everybody's mouth first. and those were. thank you. they're so appreciative of what she has done. and i think a lot of times in sports there's so many things up for debate. but i think one of the kind of common ground things with tara's career here at stanford has been that you just can't debate it. her resume really speaks for itself. take a look at some of the accomplishments she has kind of

gathered up here at during her time at stanford. she has over 1200 career victories. she's the winningest all time coach in the ncaa history. of course, the winningest all time college basketball coach, men or women. she's a three time ncaa champion. she's a 15 time pac 12 champion, a five time national coach of the year. the list goes on. if that's not enough, she also led the u.s. women's national team to a gold medal in the 96 atlanta olympic games, but she started her career as an unpaid graduate assistant at ohio state years later. after a few other stints, she was hired here at stanford in 1985 and quickly turned this program into the national powerhouse that it remains today. in a statement on her retiring, she said i've loved the game of basketball since i was a little girl. it's given me so much throughout my

life and i hope i have been able to at least give a little bit back. she certainly has the impact she has had on basketball, women's basketball in particular is undeniable, as evidenced by the people she has touched. just about everybody in the basketball world, the sports world and beyond is reacting to this news. former players warriors head coach steve kerr and stanford students. >> i'm a scientist and she's inspired me to just continue pushing on and showing people that you can be the best at what you do, no matter what. tara vanderveer surpasses legendary coach. >> the further evidence of tara's imprint on the game of basketball well, you have to go back a little bit. when she took over the stanford program in the mid 80s, the three point shot was not recognized in the women's college basketball. the wnba was still seven years away from its inception. of course, times have changed dramatically. tara certainly has had an influence on that. the day she announced her retirement yesterday for it was also

announced on that same day that for the first time in history, the women's college basketball national championship surpassed viewership of the men's games by about 4 million viewers. so it was no small number there. now, as for the future of the stanford program, we've asked some fans here what they think about it. they say they know it is in safe hands. the university right now in negotiations with kate pay, she's a longtime associate coach here with this program. they say they know that she knows tara's system, and they know that she will continue on tara's legacy of not just having a great basketball teams, not just recruiting great basketball players, but recruiting great people and great students for this campus as well. and as garcia mentioned, tara expected to speak to the media here on campus at 1 p.m. this afternoon. so in just another couple of hours here reporting live at stanford, i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu fox two news. >> thank you bailey. you can find much more coverage. over

the many years tara vanderveer has been at stanford on the fox local app. it's a quick free download for your smart tv search for the fox local app and choose ktvu. >> well, the weather looked great down in palo alto. let's check in with steve. i know we had a little bit of fog out of the gate, but things are starting to clear a little bit on the coast. >> probably not much change, a little cooler, but inland it will warm up. yesterday we had almost an 80, almost concord buchanan. of course, 79 degrees. healdsburg was 79 degrees. livermore, cupertino. atherton. orinda 78. sonoma 77. in san rafael with 76 degrees. but look at that. there's just no way the city is warming up and there's that much fog already here. i mean, that's yesterday we had about, what, 45 minutes of it, and it was a little bit it disappeared so inland. yes. you'll warm up the fog is too shallow. day baseball. i think it will be mostly sunny. it always is there. but if you're in the sun, probably not bad. if you're in the shade. a little cool side going 64 for a high in the city, 6449. average for april 10th is 6350. so right there, the record 91 1988 and 40

the record low back in 1927. a lot of high clouds, mainly north i'd say marin county north more so up towards mendocino county, northern sonoma county then south. but again, that fog is a big story. 50s on the temps, a couple of low 60s. vacaville is already in there and brentwood, san jose 55, santa rosa, petaluma 52. and we had a nice tuesday, but this week is what we call weather whiplash because it'll be warm inland today and tomorrow and then cooler with rain friday and saturday. we'll see a huge slide on those temps. but for today, if you're away from the coast, it will be warmer. if you're on the coast, i think is actually a little bit cooler, but inland temps i think we'll get our first 80s there. so fog on the coast, warm inland cooling begins friday. bigger fog bank and then rain returns. looks like on saturday, believe it or not, not a little bit of rain forecast models are actually trended a little stronger with the system coming in and a little wetter. but look at that. more snow for the mountains. so this will be over the weekend. yeah, how about that seven 13in of snow being forecast for the mountains on saturday. and sunday 60s, 70s to 80s today. so on the coast have

to cool it down. just too much fog even though i think it will burn off and retreat. warmer temps though inland after thursday though. transition day and a big change on the weekend. >> you guys. yeah, winter still kind of hanging on even though it's spring. thanks, steve. we are learning the identity of a nine year old girl killed in a crash over the weekend in the east bay. dana hernandez tapia out of oregon, was killed early sunday morning when the suv she was in crashed at the junction of interstate 680 and highway 242, in concord for women inside the vehicle were all hospitalized. the male driver left the scene. no word yet from the highway patrol on what may have caused that crash, or whether the driver has been found. >> the san jose city council approved two separate ordinances to give an extra layer of security around the city schools. yesterday, city council members banned anyone from camping within 150ft of a school campus. they also approved a second ordinance that would prohibit rvs and other large vehicles from parking close to schools.

>> a little bit of the wild west where people are going to park wherever they want to park because nobody's going to do anything about it, especially oversize vehicles where you can't see around them. and i think, perhaps we can prioritize , roadway safety. >> many homeless advocates in san jose oppose both of these measures. they say these ordinances will make life harder for those living on the street or inside their cars or rvs. >> i think it's just a tragedy. it's just horrible. where are they going to go? let's get them into berryessa first. let's get another safe parking for rvs. let's just get some more ice now. not next year. >> city leaders say yesterday's vote is just the first step in enacting these new ordinances. they say it will likely be several months before enforcement begins. >> san francisco mayor london breed just days away here from leaving for what could be a pivotal trip to china next. on the night we're talking live with the mayor about her newly unveiled itinerary and her main goals for her first trip there

as mayor. then what used to be known as the american dream a car home, a family appears to be slipping further out of reach. the staggering costs in california for what turns out to t secon

a three year old girl in san

jose should go on trial. that decision was supposed to be out yesterday, but the judge decided to let attorneys on both sides present more evidence. prosecutors say the child's mother, grandfather and uncle killed the young girl during an exorcism at a san jose church back in september. they say those family members believe the little girl had been possessed by a demon. >> the former san jose police officer, who was at the center of a racist text message scandal, is asking a judge to move his case to a venue hundreds of miles away. mark mcnamara, a white former police officer, was sued after being accused of excessive use of force. he was seen on video in march of 2022 shooting a black man who was actually trying to prevent a robbery at a restaurant. now, according to court documents, mcnamara sent racist and homophobic text messages after the shooting. his lawyer is asking that an upcoming civil trial be moved to the eureka area. fearing that mcnamara won't get a fair trial in the bay area because of extensive media coverage. but the victim's attorneys oppose that. >> that's complete nonsense,

there have been big cases, major cases that, you know, have even more coverage, national coverage that still take place at the venue in which the incidents, you know, have happened. and it's just another method used to delay the trial and to delay the justice that mr. green has been waiting over two years to get. >> right now, the case is tied up in appeals, and it's not clear when a judge might rule on the request to move the case. >> happening today, oakland police will present their proposed budget to the city administration. the department's working to address staffing issues. opd command told a council safety committee. there are currently 708 officers on the job. the current police budget authorizes 712. the academy has 14 officers set to graduate next month. >> opd is not unique in the fact that we, along with other law enforcement agencies, have had a difficult time recruiting people into our academies.

>> the police department budget is about $358 million for the current fiscal year. next year's budget is about 364 million. >> arizona size court has upheld a ban on almost all abortions in that state. the state supreme court upheld a law that was first approved back in 1864, before arizona was even a state. in the ruling, the court said all abortions except those necessary to save a woman's life are illegal would also punish providers with prison time. one reporter, who covers arizona politics says this high court decision takes the national debate over abortion right to a whole new level. >> this is a major swing state saying abortion is nearly totally illegal. it comes in an election year when this state will be crucial to deciding the presidency and control of the senate. >> the court did put its ruling on hold for a few weeks for more lower court appeals, so that means it will be almost two

months before any possible enforcement vote coming up on mornings on two. >> the 9 billion spent to reduce homelessness in california without much accountability over whether the efforts were working. what started a chain of events that ended in an audit with some surprising results also ahead. inflation surging beyond expectations. next, we'll talk live with an expert about the faster than anticipated acceleration and how it could potentia y delay the f eral

index report released just this morning. and now new questions loom as to whether or not the federal reserve will cut interest rates this year. and by how much if they do. with us now for more on insight on this is jason mathews from the mathews financial and insurance solutions in oakland. jason, thank you so much for joining us today. thank you for having me. all right. so 3.5% is a consumer price is what consumer prices rose. and we just touched on some of the items. but but these are really critical items that that consumers have to pay for. when you talk about your insurance for your car. these are the type of things that are affected by the high cost of inflation right now. >> exactly. we're seeing it right now. so you see it right now with auto insurance. homeowner's insurance. first, we heard some companies, especially here in california, who are saying we're no longer going to, renew you. but if you're looking for new insurance, those rates are drastically higher right now. we see at the gas pump right now where if you try to

get premium gas, you're seeing over $6 in some places right now here. >> you know, it's interesting that that unemployment is low, yet interest rates are high. it seems like this really delicate balance and things are are shifting out of balance. because even if you have a job and you you and you're trying to pay your bills, you're going to be paying more for those bills. >> exactly. yeah, definitely. it's that thin line right now. the feds say, hey, we see right now where we have great unemployment numbers. those numbers are great. but then we see the cost of inflation going up. so a lot of people who are working every day, it's like, ooh is very tough on the day to day to live because it's just so darn expensive right now. >> really expensive. the feds, they said they want to see meaningful progress on inflation before it starts to cut rates. what does meaningful progress look like for the fed to start cutting inflation, which they were supposed to do in june. but now with the consumer price index so high, they say, well, we can't reduce interest rates just yet. otherwise, you know, we'll throw the balance off. >> right. so i think the meaningful numbers is if we can start seeing inflation start to decline compared and getting back down to their target, which

is a 2% inflation target. but right now we see 2. >> but we're 3.5 right now. right. that's a long way to go. >> it's a long way to go. and a lot of things are outside the control right. so we got gas prices a lot of times those are just not what the feds do. but those are outside global issues right. that are affecting things that we see every day right now. >> right. so all right. so they have to see things that are in our control not necessarily gas prices but but maybe insurance prices, maybe insurance prices, maybe the cost of food and other things that can go down. >> that's what they hope. but i think the problem is inflation is more than just the feds. it's everything else in this world of money economics working together to eventually bring down those costs of everything. >> so now you need to bring down the cost of housing and groceries, you know, rent, rent, rent prices and groceries. how is that part done? and how does that factor, how does that help? >> you don't need the prices to go down. you need to face prices to stabilize. stabilize. right. because remember, when we say that inflation has rising mean prices increases. but if prices

just stays the same that means there's no that's going to sustain things. when we start seeing prices decline, that's when we see deflation. and all they're saying is we don't want prices to climb as much as they were. we just want them to grow just a little bit. but not or not grow at all for those prices to be controlled. >> so how do we how do we know, how can we look at that as if i'm a consumer sitting at home saying, all right, when are these prices going to stop going out of control? for me, every time i take home my paycheck, gas is higher. the next week. what are the key indicators that a consumer can look out for in the future? and what is the hope for them? >> the hope for is this is gas stays at $6 a gallon. it just stays there for months and months and months. yeah. if we see our food at the grocery store, when you go to the grocery store, they everything you think you're buying and purchasing is about the same price as it were before. but every time you see it is more than it was previously. you're like, oh man. or if you see your home and auto insurance is staying the exact same and not going up, then you know, that's

when we're starting to get inflation underneath control. >> this is certainly going to affect the housing market. anyone that wants to get into the housing market, because the rates are very high, in addition to the fact that the cost of everyday goods are up for some everyday goods are up. so people are going to have a tough time getting to the housing market. you predict a serious issue with that going forward. >> the housing market is completely frozen because of that. so if you look at the number of homes sold right now, it has been stabilized right now or just just obviously ice cold, where we're just not seeing the number of homes being sold because a lot of people are looking at, hey, how can i eventually afford this house? is it is expensive nut to crack right now where you're seeing a 7% right now on a 7% mortgage rate, which is a lot more expensive than we see a couple years ago. and then those people who got those two 3% interest rates saying, you know what, i'm going to stay put, stay here, right? >> i'm not going to bother to buy another place and go into something that's going to cost me much more in a monthly payment than, than, than they're in. right now. and then jpmorgan chase ceo jamie dimon said the other day, hey, we could see interest rates go up to 8. i mean, that would be incredible, wouldn't it? >> that would be incredible. and that's going to hurt businesses

who need to borrow money. that's going to hurt consumers who, using credit cards and on need more use debt instruments. but for retirees, this might be a good thing for them, because now they get more interest on the money that they receive in the bank than that 0% or 1% for them. >> so retirees, people with money in their savings account, the higher interest rate does affect that. so that is a positive thing, for one section of the population. correct. all right. so it's something we have to watch over the next few months to see if prices stabilize, because that's what we're going to be looking for to see if gas stays the same, if milk stays the same, if eggs stay the same prices. bingo. all right, jason matthews, thank you so much. we appreciate it. appreciate your time and giving some insight into what this looks like, because i know it's weighing on so many people out there today. >> so many. thank you. >> all right. appreciate it. all right. coming up on mornings on two. the nine concerns mount in san francisco. a mosque is vandalized several times. the demands from community members and officials as muslims celebrate the end of ramadan. also ahead, a potential breakthrough in rsv prevention. we're talking live with a doctor about the possibility of the rsv vaccine being expanded

read my eyes. they tell my story. and the story of voluminous original, creamy formula for 5x the volume. voluminous original mascara by l'oréal. my eyes are saying you're worth it. hey! it's your dry skin. every day we lose ceramides i need to seal in moisture. cerave delivers three essential ceramides to help restore my barrier, so i can lock in moisture, feel hydrated, and look healthy. cerave facial moisturizing lotions.

in the golden gate there. little tiny bit of fog, boy, if you live inland, if you're like 30 miles east of here, you need to prepare to open your windows, get some fresh air inside. it is going to be warm, warm, warm, inland, cool and comfortable as always by the coast. a new study puts a price tag on the american dream. the study from

gobankingrates to find the american dream. as a married couple that owns a home and a car, two children plus pets calculated how much it would cost that family from groceries to the mortgage. monthly bills like utilities, child care, pet care, all the things for california, it found. the cost of this american dream is prepare yourselves $245,000 a year. in fact, we're the second most expensive state behind hawaii. yikes. that's a whole lot more than most people make. >> my god. yeah, right. that is crazy when you think about it. yeah. i mean, that's why states like tennessee and texas and people do that on 80 nevada. a lot of folks said in nevada, you and i have lived in different states. >> so we've seen what it's like in other areas, you live in other states too. so you've seen but i know people here that have never lived in other states, so they don't really realize that it's not really like this right outside of a gallon of gas in new hampshire, under three bucks, like, right now. >> like right now. yeah, that's in georgia. >> visiting family was like $2 or $1. so i was like, this is

insane. i was i felt like it wasn't even i wasn't even looking. i was looking at a dream. right because you have i had not seen that in so long. >> yeah. or let alone buy a home for 300 for 250. >> well, i remember, you know, so i grew up here and then i moved. i worked in many different states and then to move back here, i remember, you know, when we started looking at houses, i thought, oh my god, it costs what to buy a house here in the east bay. but i reminded myself, this for me, is home. this is where my whole family is. we did. we moved heaven and earth. i joke that i had to put my babysitting money into our down payment for that first house. that's how much i had to save. we were able to do it and i'm grateful. but this dream is slipping farther and farther out of reach. well, that's the deal. >> once you get the house. and if you could afford it ten years down the road, you're going to have a little nest, have a little nest egg, but it's hard to get it's hard to get in there. >> and especially right now, we just talked to jason matthews about the cost of insurance, eggs, milk and gas. so, you know, and then thinking about a down payment for a house.

>> and if you miss that window. yeah. you're moving. yeah. exactly. you're moving. >> take your you know, 85,000. you know, a year. you can live like a king somewhere else in any other state. absolutely. all right. let's take a quick peek at a question. we were sort of discussing earlier on the night. this is kind of a fun one. and you guys have been weighing in. numbers have changed a little. we talked about lunchables and apparently they're part of the national school lunch program. we asked, should they be removed? the yes vote still has it here. it almost two thirds, 63% of you say yes. lunchables two process. get them off the school lunch menu. 3,332% say no. i love them. let them stay. only 5% say they want to limit the lunchables. we love it. when you weigh in through the morning. you can scan the qr code at the top right of your screen or head to kptv.com viewer poll. we will keep taking your answers and sharing them with you. let's go now. across the bay where san francisco mayor london breed is leaving for a trip to china this saturday. meant to strengthen relations with its sister city, shanghai, boost business and tourism at home and many hope to get a commitment from china to bring pandas to the san francisco zoo. we welcome, as we do every month, mayor london breed to the ninth. thanks for being with us. >> good morning garcia. >> good morning. many of us remember you met with china's president xi jinping during the apec summit last november. how

important is your upcoming trip to china? >> well, it's so important for economic opportunity, for tourism. and of course, everyone's talking about the pandas, but we are going to be meeting with three airlines to talk about direct flights, adding more flights to sfo. we're back to pre-pandemic levels at our international flights, and we want that to be more. we're going to be meeting with a number of businesses. we want to revitalize our downtown with investments. we want to make sure that china knows how important it is for our relationship. the people to people relationship that president xi talked about as a way to build bridges and promote economic prosperity for san francisco. >> i know there are real, you know, dollars and jobs at stake here, but a lot of the talk is about that panda, how important is it to you that you get a firm commitment for at least one panda at the zoo? >> oh, well, we need a pair, but it is really important because san francisco has been through. of course, a very challenging time, and we're starting to

experience the light, the joy, the happiness, and those pandas would be just icing on the cake. more importantly, it will also be about bringing attention to san francisco and the san francisco zoo and what that would mean for not just the people who live in san francisco, but the people who visit san francisco as well. it could be significant for our city and also building those bridges between san francisco, the united states as a whole, and china. >> you made a much shorter trip right up interstate 80 recently to push for revitalization efforts for downtown san francisco. you were there with some other big city mayors. you talked about capitalizing on what you called a phase of joy in the city during your upcoming trip to china. what do you think it is that people who live much closer to home californians, bay area residents, need to hear when it comes to coming back to downtown san francisco. >> well, i think part of it is they need more than just coming back to downtown for work. and that's why, in my state of the city address, i announced 30 by 30 my plan to bring 30,000

residents to the downtown of san francisco by 2030, because san francisco has to become a new neighborhood. neighborhoods in san francisco all over. whether it's the mission, the bayview, the marina, they're thriving, people are out the sun is shining. it's exciting. restaurants are opening, businesses are opening. but downtown has to be just like our neighborhoods. and my goal is to make sure that it becomes that way by bringing residents, bringing office, continuing with our 9 to 5 office space, but also making downtown 24 over seven with activities, events, nightlife, you name it. we need to bring all of it to downtown and make sure that downtown is not just a place you work, but it's a place you play and a place you live. >> yeah, i know we've talked about this for months. do you have any firm commitments you can share with viewers about, you know, businesses, universities, anything like that coming to the city? >> well, we have conversations going on, and as soon as we get those firm commitments, we of

course will announce them tomorrow. we're opening up a new, exciting place at ikea. they have a whole food hall that's going to be a destination with vegan type meal, with bars and other options. we're excited about that as well as having discussions with a number of universities. we expect people who are a part of historically black colleges and universities to be in san francisco as early as this summer, with a partnership that we have with the university of san francisco. we have a number of artificial intelligence companies that are looking at and signing leases. we expect in 2030 for there to be 12,000,000ft!s of leases signed just by artificial intelligence companies alone. so we're in talks with a lot of businesses. we're going to announce our new vacant to vibrant. that's all the new small businesses that are going to go into the downtown. the city is a partnering with a number of property owners in our downtown to make that happen. so

lots going on, a lot of great announcements, a lot of exciting times, especially for downtown. and we're looking forward to it. okay so good news. >> hopefully on on the business front, the tourism front. let's talk housing now in your state of the city recently you said you'd veto any anti housing legislation. the board of supervisors recently overturned your veto of legislation limiting housing heights. when it comes to new building in the city, how do you balance keeping san francisco's unique neighborhood character while also meeting housing demand? >> well, when you think about it, you know, san francisco, we have over 50,000 units that have even already been approved in the pipeline. but because of the state mandate, we need to provide an option to demonstrate our ability to provide construction. you know, there's a lot of times people will support the development of a new housing, but as soon as you start talking about their neighborhoods, then it's another story. what i'm trying to balance is, of course, making sure that city remains this vibrant place, but we all have to do our part in building more housing, and my goal is to make

sure that we get rid of the bureaucracy and whether we do it through the board of supervisors or through the voters, because as you can see with the passage of proposition e and proposition f, the voters want public safety . they want accountability, but also they want housing. and we need to make sure that we're doing everything we can to provide or to remove obstacles that prevent us from moving forward and make it too easy for those projects to die. at the board of supervisors, we had a empty parking lot in downtown where heights weren't even the issue here, and the board of supervisors did not approve it. that's a loss of almost 500 units that could have been could have been built as we speak and provide additional opportunities . we have got to get the bureaucracy and the politics out of the way of housing production. and that's why i'm going to continue to not only be aggressive with vetoing, with bringing initiatives to the board of supervisors, but also with bringing in initiatives, if

necessary, to the ballot and issuing executive directives from my office. >> okay, finally, mayor, where do you stand on this whole idea? the question of renaming oakland airport, the san francisco bay, oakland international airport, your thoughts on that? and also, did you direct the city attorney, david chu, to write that that letter threatening legal action against oakland? >> well, i made it clear that i do not in a letter and in talking with the city attorney that i did not want oakland to change the name to include san francisco. san francisco airport has worked very hard on establishing a brand, on building our clientele, on bringing back tourists, both domestic and international. we are back for international travel to pre-pandemic levels. we're 97 cent at domestic travel and we don't want the confusion that will come with having two airports named san francisco, oakland is an amazing city and oakland deserves its own brand. its own opportunities, and the

attention should be focused on making the airport what it needs to be similar to what we've done with sfo. and yes, i made it clear to the city attorney that, if necessary, we should pursue legal action to stop this name change. >> fair to say you see it as a threat to sfo. >> i definitely see it as a threat to sfo, and honestly, i see it as being disrespectful to oakland. we need to support and uplift oakland and be a partner in these efforts and not try to drown out oakland with san francisco's name. i love the city, i love the bay area, and we need to work as partners on these issues. >> now, what about the argument that oakland says, look, we need to bring international eyes, especially to the city of oakland. not a lot of people know that oakland is right across the bay from the big city. and for many travelers, oakland might make better sense for them. >> well, as far as i'm concerned, people are making their decisions based on bay

area flights and looking at and know that they have some data to show san francisco, of course. i mean, we're a major city. we're we're more well known than other neighboring cities in the bay area. but there is a way that we can work together to combat that narrative. and i'm willing our airport is willing to be a partner and work with oakland international. but this is not the way. >> okay, san francisco mayor london breed, you will be flying out of sfo. i assume. thank you so much for joining us. safe travels, safe travels to china this saturday. thank you. >> all right. we move to this story now. mosque in san francisco has been vandalized several times in the last week, apparently by the same person as ktvu amanda quintana reports. the vandalism has many people in the community asking for more protection. >> this mosque on sutter street has been vandalized at least twice in just the last week. you could see the windows here outside still broken. and this is all while the muslim community has been participating in ramadan today, celebrating

the end of the holy month, surveillance video on social media shows a man smashing windows of the mosque with a skateboard. this happened on april third. then the same man reportedly came back yesterday. he ended up breaking more windows and then went into the mosque yelling islamophobic rhetoric. he allegedly got into an altercation, threatened people and wrote you will burn in #### on the walls. we have a photo showing the words after mosque leaders tried to paint over it, members of the muslim community say, in this polarizing time, they want more protection. >> people think that islamophobia doesn't exist, but in reality, it happens every single day. a lot of, a lot of incidents being unreported and the truth is that police have other issues to worry about, and we're really asking for them, and the city to prioritize the community and make sure that there's more resources and the community is protected.

>> hala hijazi, a commissioner with the city's human rights commission who initially tweeted about these attacks, says the rise of islamophobic rhetoric, including from public officials, is contributing to violence like this today. there are many celebrations for eid, i'm told that some people, while they are scared, others still feel it's important to celebrate. today in san francisco. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news ursula pfizer seeking approval to expand its rsv vaccine coming up on mornings on two. >> the nine we're talking live with a doctor about potentially opening up vaccination to a wider population and w t

as for pfizer, says its drug can help people as young as 18 and is now seeking approval from regulators for the vaccine. for adults between the ages of 18 and 60. so far, the rsv vaccine has only been given to older adults. with us now for more insight is doctor peter chin-hong from ucsf. always good to have you, doctor. good morning. morning frank. before we do a deep dive into the vaccine, just give us a little primer on rsv. and should the

public be worried about that? >> yeah. so we focus on covid. we focus on influenza, but rsv is kind of the silent number three killer of in the united states from respiratory viruses. it's kind of like the bronze medalist. i would speak, so to speak. the other point about rsv is, unlike covid and influenza, there's no therapy. once you have it, so we really focus on prevention as much as possible, the vast burden of disease, however, is in, kids, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations a year. but older adults, bear the brunt of, deaths in the disease. but the younger age group, which this vaccine, is focused on now for the new proposed approval. is really going to be targeted, i think, to those who have underlying lung disease, heart disease, and especially those who are immune compromised. >> well, let's talk about how

effective it has been. the vaccine, at least with older adults. and do you believe it's safe for that new age group 18 to 60? >> yes. so far in the trials, they haven't really been any safety signals, particularly in that young age group in the older age group, you know, it was similar to those who got placebo, i think the fda is observing for another year in the older age group. this was the first year we had vaccinations, but so far, so good. and again, the other age groups that they are looking at, in terms of their vaccine experience for safety profile is in the kids who have already gotten it this year and in pregnant persons, so far, no, untoward or unexpected side effects apart from, you know, just some local pain at the site of the injection. >> well, that is good news. pfizer, though, has not published any data on the

vaccine, and it hasn't been, i guess, quote unquote, peer reviewed. what does that mean, what it means is that, and this is very typical for the way vaccines are approved, they they have proprietary data. it was a randomized controlled trial. they're going to submit that data to the fda. the fda is expected to approve that on june 7th, and at the same time, it goes to be published in a medical journal that takes some time for all of the, review to. so usually it's kind of a simultaneous or slightly delayed process. but again, this is not, out of the ordinary. >> if it is fully approved, would you recommend the vaccine and who should be first in line? >> yes. so i think the lowest hanging fruit is for the populations for which the vaccines are already approved. those, younger than 18 months or two years, and those who are older and 60, i would say i'd

put an exclamation point on those who have, any, particularly lung disease or, but also, cardiac disease, and especially those who are immune compromised. so for those, in the younger age group, again, the focus will be immune compromised, heart and lung disease, including, potentially, you know, asthma. but i think we will get further guidance because what will also happen after the fda is that it will go to the cdc, and the cdc has a specific committee called acip that's going to give, specific guidance after looking at the data, because they also balance, the cost benefit. and essentially, is the juice worth the squeeze? >> and doctor, in about 15 seconds, if you can. our old friend covid, can you give us an update? where are we right now with that? >> so we're at the lowest point, ever in the history of the pandemic in terms of hospitalizations, emergency room visits, i think we have some

new, medications coming out, particularly a long acting, monoclonal antibody for those who are very immune compromised and can respond to the vaccine. >> all right. well, we've come a long way, and we always appreciate your time, doctor, for the last several years. thank you so much. >> thanks so much, frank. >> all right. coming up on mornings on two. the nine. it's a ride through history celebrations planned for bart's legacy fleet before these icons of transit disappear forev

homelessness without tracking where that money is going. the review started when south bay senator dave cortez visited one of the largest homeless encampments in san jose. yes, the city. whether the money spent on housing programs was working, says he found the data insufficient. so he and other lawmakers asked the state auditor to investigate. the audit examined two cities san

jose and san diego, between 2018 and 2023. >> you know, to improve upon, you know, some of these areas, these deficiencies and these systemic issues that that the audit, calls out. >> auditors say a council responsible for coordinating the state's efforts against homelessness does not have a consistent method for gathering information about program costs and outcomes. council issued a response here, saying the audit's findings underscore a need to continue to hold local governments accountable. primarily responsible for implementing these programs and collecting data on outcomes at the state can use to evaluate programs effectiveness. >> new. this morning, a congressional hearing looking into the continued delays with the rollout of the new free application for student aid, or fafsa. the fafsa is used to determine college students eligibility to receive financial aid. now, since the launch of the new revised form in

december, there have been delays and glitches for students and parents trying to fill out the form online. >> the launch of the new form has been a disaster. there are 2.8 million fewer fafsas filed this year as compared with the same time last year. a 15% drop overall. the drop in college enrollment may be worse than during the pandemic, causing some colleges to close. >> the witnesses at the hearing this morning say the problems with the new fafsa are affecting at least 40% of the forms submitted, and that has led to students receiving admission letters from colleges. but having no idea how much financial aid they will have to cover the costs. >> martinez teachers say they're going on strike if they can't reach a fair contract deal with the district. educators and supporters held a rally before the martinez school board meeting. teachers say the district offered them a 3% raise. other county employees received an 8% cost of living adjustment. >> only offering 3, while other districts are offering anywhere

from 6% to 13% is not only an insult, but it is a fact that teachers will leave and teachers will not come to this district. >> starting pay for a teacher in martinez is $59,000 a year. in a statement, the district said in part that the two sides have always been able to resolve issues peacefully through the bargaining process and we fully expect to continue doing so with the assistance of a neutral and impartial fact finder, who will review the district's budget and recommend a fair and sustainable settlement. teachers in the district are set to meet on monday to try to resolve the issue. >> bart is planning a special sendoff for the last of its legacy trains. on saturday, april the 20th, bart is hosting a retirement ceremony for the last run of its legacy trains, made up of railcars that have been serving the bay area. for more than 50 years. ceremony would be held at the macarthur bart station in oakland. most of the old bart cars have been recycled for metal scraps. >> well, there's a version of

scrabble hitting stores in europe, and in this game, everyone's a winner. it features a double sided board with the traditional word game on one side and something called scrabble together on the other. the new version is team oriented, where players work together to complete a goal. mattel says it's more inclusive and less intimidating, and designed for younger generations who prefer collaborative games over competitive ones. >> no way man, i want to win all on my own. >> give me a z i love or a q or a j, i love scrabble, oh yeah, a quick peek at a poll that we've had up all morning long that you've been weighing in on. >> this is the issue about lunchables, right? the question is, should the usda remove lunchables from the national school lunch program? 64% of you say yes. take them out there to process. 31% of you say no. love them. leave them 5% say limit the lunchables. interesting. kraft heinz reformulated its lunchables. so the lunchables you get at the school lunch program different than what you buy on the shelves at safeway. a

little. you know, there's of course, requirements they have to meet to be part of that. so maybe that helps edge you into the leave them on there once in a while. >> i got some messages, some text messages from viewers that were watching saying, i can't believe you eat lunchables. >> i can't, you know, they were like, don't, why are you messing with the lunchables? >> oh, like, don't touch my lunchables. i'm telling the information. no, because, you know, they say it's just so convenient. it is to have for their kids, and they go in the refrigerator and grab it themselves. but is it convenient? >> over health? >> you know, one of those four year olds can't cook. they got to have something to get you. >> and look, parents are stressed. i mean, you know, it's a hard thing to it's like i have to feed you again. didn't i just feed you yesterday? exactly all right. you can keep speaking out on that poll. it's on our we [cheers and applause] >> announcer: 3, 2, 1, is showtime! ♪ we're gonna have a real good time ♪ ♪ feel good time ♪ ♪ spreading love and joy and laughter all over the place ♪ ♪ we're gonna have a real good time ♪
