a half days. the idea is to attract and retain more talent nationwide. more employees are feeling overworked and underpaid. 77% of workers said a four day, 40 hour workweek would have a positive impact on their well-being. we want some of your reaction to this. this morning. we're asking, would you support a four day workweek and the options are yes, simply no, or depends on the industry. and right now, based on the poll being up for a short time online , 89% of people said yes they would support that four day workweek, no is 11% and depends on the industry 0. so we want to hear from you. so head over to ktvu.com right now slash vote and you can vote on the poll. and we'd like to hear from you. >> welcome to the nine i mean half the battle, let's face it is getting up getting dressed, making it to work i mean you know, so if i could do that four times a week instead of five,

absolutely. i mean, if it would, if it would work for us, i doubt it. however, in theory it could work. >> why couldn't it work for us? >> it would wash away monday. tuesday would be monday, i think it would be great. >> and or friday off. >> well, it could be friday. >> you take. >> maybe we should go. >> don't waste your day off on a friday because friday is usually pretty good. >> yeah you're right, everyone's in a good mood with you on that. i thought about this. i like that one. >> yeah, unless you're doing traffic today. >> we needed you today. >> oh my goodness. sal takes a couple of days off and then everything. and what do you know. and with that in mind, we will segue part of interstate 880 and hayward still slow going at this hour. a trailer attached to a truck flipped on its side, blocked traffic for hours on 880 southbound at hayward. that trailer has now been moved to the side of the road. they got three lanes open, but it's still a mess. james torres joins us live at the crash site with an update. james, good morning frank. >> good morning. well a lot changes in just a few minutes here. and we just noticed, a few minutes ago everything that was on this freeway just a few hours ago is now finally clear. that

means all lanes now southbound, 880, now reopen. as of this morning, it's just north of the san mateo bridge. traffic at this point now moving along perfectly fine. we heard from a chp sergeant earlier this morning who explained how this traffic mess started in the first place for an unknown reason. >> it veered off to the right, hit the wall on the right shoulder, lost control and came back and hit the center median wall there where the trailer overturned. no injuries to report here, no injuries. the drivers, perfectly fine. >> and there that truck sat on the freeway on the center divide for hours, and it took crews hours to push over the overturned trailer toward the center divide to try to free up some lanes on the far right side. then they work to get it upright, which took a little bit of time. but once crews got that together, they were able to clean up some of the debris left behind and finally open up all the lanes. as you heard, no injuries to report. the driver is expected to be totally okay,

fully cooperating with chp. at first they were a little worried that there were some other cars on the roadway, but they say no other cars or drivers were affected from this crash. we are live this morning near hayward. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james thank you. a plan to change the name of the oakland international airport to include san francisco bay has received preliminary approval from the port of oakland enthusiastically. >> i seven eyes. >> the motion carries. >> thank you. >> the port's board of commissioners unanimously voted to move ahead with a plan to rebrand oakland's airport. the name change would be part of a broader effort to improve the airport, with upgrades planned for the terminal one check in lobby, as well as new local concessions and restaurants. the vote followed several hours of debate about replacing oakland with the san francisco bay further disrespects oakland. >> its pro oakland. >> it is definitely not in any way denigrating the city that i'm so proud of, that i've been living in for 40 years.

>> the port of oakland has set a final vote for may 9th. the city of san francisco has threatened possible legal action over the proposed name change, a sign of progress for california's high speed rail project. the state is moving forward with purchasing trains that will ultimately travel up and down the state at 220 miles an hour. this comes as the federal government invested $3 billion in funding for the project. high speed rail authority says it hopes the contract for the trains will be decided by the end of the year. >> all right. >> so we've had, relatively warmer weather, depending on where you were in the bay area. some people in the inland areas probably have to use ac in their house because it was so hot out there, like in oakley or something, things might be changing, though, steve paulson is here with that. >> they're changing even for oakley. >> even even for them out there. >> yes. yeah. and i'm all for the four day workweek. yes yes yes yes, please put me down, big change from yesterday. you know, we had a teeny sliver of fog. and then look at today. i mean, higher clouds to the north, mendocino county, sonoma county, a little bit moving inland, but the mix of sun, low clouds and

high clouds. but this is a big fog bank. i mean, my goodness, all the way up and down the central and southern california coast, pushing well into southern california. so the may gray june gloom is already in place here in mid-april, santa rosa, redwood city, walnut creek , san jose today the message is cooler, cooler, cooler down a good 1015 degrees for some here compared to yesterday's highs. we had a lot of 80s 40s 50s on the temps, a couple of 60s showing up already, but the wind picking up when travis starts cranking up west southwest 21 gusting almost to 30 due west. novato napa airport concord has a south wind, but sfo out to livermore is onshore 14 west to 24 hayward west, livermore west. that'll do it. that's the onshore breeze. pretty impressive system for mid april. we've had a series of these lows drop in. this one is not as strong as last week. but there's even hints of more on the old pipeline. maybe towards the end of april. so i don't think we're done yet. but to get these systems this time of year is a big change here. and that's going to lead to cooler today.

increasing clouds tonight, throughout the day and then into tomorrow. but rain holds off unless you're north, until saturday and it does look pretty good here. i mean, not just a little bit of rain, but, you know, not a 10th of an inch or a quarter. we're looking for areas around a half inch to maybe two. some of the forecast projections have really gone bonkers here. san rafael, san francisco, redwood city, half moon bay, look at ben lomond. almost two inches of rain. same for santa cruz. fremont even san jose down to morgan hill timeline. could be some drizzle or light rain early to the north. more likely this will be overnight into early saturday morning. right there. front starts to go through. could be a brief break, maybe late morning early afternoon, but i think it'll start to bubble up and juice up pretty fast as the upper low then begins to move right towards us, puts on the brakes and starts to head down the coast. but look on sunday, coming back around off the sierra and areas to the north, i think that is our best opportunity for thunderstorms would be on sunday. then it clears out of here monday, tuesday. looking better. if you're going to the mountains though, go today because you'll hold off on the snow. but big changes up there as well. cooler

windy today, early saturday with snow likely moving in saturday night into early sunday. maybe 1 to 6. looks like it'll cover the spread there with lowering snow levels. so friday changes. cooler morning fog, sun and then clouds roll in along with a cooler, breezy pattern. 5060 i know it's on the weekend again, but here we go. early next week though. does look better. you guys. >> steve thank you. happening today san francisco police are expected to announce what they call a milestone in police reforms, the chronicle reports the san francisco police department has finished adopting the 272 reforms recommended for transforming policing in the city. the reforms were recommended back in 2016 by the federal and state departments of justice. after several controversial police shootings. while city leaders say the reforms have paid off, numbers reported by sfpd still show racial disparities in police use of force. >> the vallejo police department and the california justice department reached a deal on how to move forward with their

police reform. the justice department first opened an investigation into the police department back in june of 2020, and that was days after a police officer shot and killed sean monterrosa. and now, as part of the settlement, the city of vallejo and its police force will take new action, led by an independent evaluator and overseen by the department of justice, to address a pattern of, quote, unconstitutional conduct. some of those reforms include addressing unreasonable force by holding officers and supervisors more accountable, conducting an audit whenever an officer points a gun at a member of the public, and promoting and strengthening partnerships in the community, and ensuring that all stops, searches and seizures by officers are compliant with the law. >> meantime, we now know oakland's new police chief will be sworn in in mid-may. that's the latest on the timeline from the city as to when incoming chief floyd mitchell will take over the oakland police

department. he was introduced last month by mayor shengtao. oakland has not had, of course, a permanent police chief since mayor shengtao fired lauren armstrong in february of 2023. >> health concerns spreading in bay area schools and nationwide coming up on mornings on two. the nine what you need to know about whooping cough. what some schools in san francisco and marin county are dealing with, and the most important thing to do if you suspect your child is sick, then three important words free tax help. if you're still not done with your taxes, we have help for you. ahead of momonday 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.

good amount of money that can help any family get some more food on their table. clothing or whatever it is that they may need. >> all right. and you said foster children, you know, so i guess it's important some of them might be young. they have jobs that, you know, starter jobs, maybe working fast food or anything, but they have to file their taxes too. and if you're 18, 19 years old and you work right, okay. correct. that's all right. and so the united way, okay. so talk about what you're doing to help low and middle income families get all this information, this all this new information that comes out every year that updates your taxes, what you can get, what you can't. talk to us a little bit about how you guys are helping with that. >> so we provide free tax help preparation for low to medium income families across eight different counties in the bay area. and we also have services not only in person, but we have services online, virtually. we also have the we can also provide access for people to

self prepare their own tax return. so we have different options for clients depending on their need. and so that we are able to assist them and get them to the filing deadline. >> so is there someone that they'll be able to talk to with the united way bay area? because a lot of the times it's easier just to talk to someone one on one and have them guide you through this process instead of looking at the paperwork and going to this line and that line and, you know, all these different lines in the tax return process. >> yes. so if they if they go in person, definitely there's going to be someone in front of you going over all the information. but likewise we have, a service where it's virtual and you are getting full service, which means that you will be contacting, be contacted by, a certified irs volunteer who will be providing you the service and explain to you the results of your of your return. all right. >> so what is an itin, when it comes to tax returns, can you explain to viewers what that is and can you file with it so you

spread of whooping cough. san francisco reports more than a dozen cases since january, including at a school. most of these cases of whooping cough are at sacred heart cathedral prep, and most of the students and their contacts are vaccinated and no major illnesses are reported. san francisco's health department says it's in communication with administrators to alert families about this possible threat. >> the main thing is to control the outbreak, meaning the way to control it is anyone who has these symptoms have to stay home, have to get the

antibiotics. >> we're pretty much vaccinated. so i mean, you know, what can you do? >> scary disease. i don't want my girl get sick. >> tamalpais high in mill valley reported about 100 cases since december. doctors are checking whether there's a link between those schools. public health experts say newborns are the most vulnerable to whooping cough. symptoms include fatigue, sneezing and a mild cough. >> the cdc urging parents to make sure their children are vaccinated against the measles. that's as the number of cases continues to grow at an alarming rate across the country. the health agency has issued a new report showing that there have been at least 113 measles cases in the u.s. so far this year, nearly double the number from all of last year. experts say measles can be extremely dangerous, especially for children. >> every thousand children that get measles, one will die and one will be brain damaged. >> cdc also wants parents to know the warning signs of measles. the symptoms do include

a dangerously high fever, a persistent cough and a red rash. >> after raising more than $10 million, researchers say they're on the verge of two fda approved treatments for children with a rare form of brain cancer medulloblastoma makes up 20% of all childhood brain tumors, 500 new cases are diagnosed every year in the us. the current treatment was developed in the 1980s, leaves children with lifelong cognitive and developmental issues. >> technology and medicine have evolved tremendously in the last decades, decades, but unfortunately not for kids with brain tumors. we know that we have a long way ahead of us, and we still need more support and more people helping us to help all of these kids. >> the fundraising efforts stem from a determined father who teamed up with the leading children's brain tumor specialist in the u.s. after his son, who had a brain tumor, relapsed. >> if you're suffering from a stuffy nose this allergy season, you should be aware of the

importance of using a nasal rinse directly. scientists say using a neti pot with regular tap water can lead to potentially deadly brain infections. for the first time, the cdc issued a warning against using tap water when rinsing out your sinuses. however, they say neti pots and nasal rinsing devices are safe and effective when used properly. >> the proper way to use a neti pot or a nasal rinse is to use distilled water, or if you don't have access to distilled water, boil the water for at least a minute or three minutes. if you're at a higher altitude and let it cool down and then mix in the saline. for and the mixture that you need to rinse your nose . >> you're also urged to use sea salt, not table salt that contains iodine. doctors say you should always read the directions before use. >> well, many of us treat our pets like family members and spending thousands of dollars on veterinary bills each and every

year. and if you think pet insurance could help you save some money on those routine checkups, experts saying you might want to think again. consumer reports looked at survey data on eight pet insurance providers, and it found on average, the total cost was just under 50 bucks a month per pet. six of those providers earned a mid-range overall satisfactory score, while two bottomed out with unfavorable ratings. experts say instead of paying for insurance, you should put this money into a dedicated savings account self-insure by putting away money every month into a direct deposit high yield savings account that you can draw from should your furbaby need some medical assistance, experts say if you're struggling to afford medical care for your pet, consider taking them to a veterinary college that may offer discounts. and if your pet needs medicine, do shop around a bit. and places like chewy, petco, pet meds and wal mart for pet pharmacies coming up here on

research shows grocery shopping on an empty stomach can lead to some serious overspending, the study found. the average american grocery shopper will spend an extra $26 a trip when they're hungry. the poll of some 2000 americans also found most people make two grocery runs per week and spend about $162 in that week. do you try to eat before you run off, andre or. >> oh yeah, i don't go hungry. >> you're like, i'm not going to play that stupid game. >> no, no, no, no. >> yeah okay. what do you what would you be most susceptible to if you did have to go while you were hungry? >> well, nothing's cooked so. well. you know, i might get the doritos. >> the doritos are. >> oh yeah. yeah. okay. so yes, i was just going to say that some, some. yeah. >> some snacky chippy salty snacks. how about you? do you make a point of eating? >> i'm awful. i went to whole foods for toilet paper and getting a meatball sub, and then. yeah, you know, a bag of chips, and they got the pizza out there. yeah, yeah, yeah, you look for that, especially if you're working morning hours. you look for that comfort food that you just oh my god cheese.

swimmer, but the initial call was for two children who went missing in the water. now, by the time fire officials got here, they say one of the children was found safe. water rescue teams were out for hours last night looking up and down the river for the other swimmer, but eventually they suspended the search until the sun came up this morning and they could safely continue. but the water conditions are making rescue efforts here difficult. >> well, you've got a lot of water in the river right now, so the water is moving quickly. it's swift. there's a lot of debris from the winter, so you have to really be careful with that. but with that much water and that much turbulence, it kicks up stuff off the bottom, which makes visibility really difficult. so a lot of times you can be underwater and not be able to see more than a foot in front of your face. so napa has an rov, which is like a remote operated vehicle underwater that we can help with the search. >> another issue is that the water is cold, so hypothermia

could set in quickly. they say they're going to be here all day until they find the boy. they say either until they find the boy or it's unsafe to be in the water still, or they have searched all they can in this area. live in forestville. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you for that. charges of hate crimes have been filed against the man in san francisco accused of vandalizing a mosque. surveillance video from last week shows a man using a skateboard to smash the windows at that mosque on sutter street. he also reportedly made several islamophobic threats. the police were called wednesday night. we're told that that same man was back at the mosque. that's when 35 year old robert gray was arrested. he's due to be arraigned later today. >> well, experts in the middle east say the biden administration has to walk a fine line between supporting israel and condemning some of its actions in the war against hamas. iran's supreme leader is vowing to retaliate against

israel for a bombing at the iranian consulate in syria. earlier this month that killed 12 people, including two iranian generals and one hezbollah militia member. while israel has not acknowledged involvement in the attack, it is bracing for tehran to respond. >> whoever hurts us, we hurt him. >> the wicked regime of israel made a mistake. in this case, it must be punished and it will be punished. >> secretary of state antony blinken has called for other countries, including turkey and china, in whoops in hopes they can help prevent and ease tensions between israel and iran. >> new on this friday morning, the biden administration has canceled $7.4 billion in student debt for another 277,000 borrowers. the latest round affects 207,000 borrowers that were enrolled in that save plan, another 65,000 who are in income driven repayment plans and 4600 are through fixes to public service loan forgiveness. those who are approved for loan cancellations will start

receiving emails sometime today. >> now, as we've been reporting for you, headaches continue for high school students looking to pay for college, as just 27% have completed their fafsa form so far for federal student aid. the new forms rollout was delayed, and since then it's been plagued with glitches and errors. let's get some more insight by turning to jennifer finetti, the director of student advocacy at scholarship owl. thanks for being with us. >> thanks so much for having me. >> as you know, fafsa is a critical first step for so many schools and scholarship programs to calculate the additional aid they can offer students beyond what the federal government may provide. what problems are you hearing about? >> so many problems. unfortunately, there are were glitches at the very beginning when it first opened at the end of december, which was already a couple months later than it should have opened, and then there were students that were unable to complete the form because of problems that began in january, they've had issues with delaying information being sent from fafsa to the colleges.

and then when data was sent, in some cases, the data was incorrect, so there have been a number of issues, and in response to that, you know, of course, students are getting more and more anxious. and so were their families wondering how they will, how and when they're going to find out if they can afford college. >> i've read just anecdotally, stories of families saying, you know what, maybe we can't make it to that four year university. how about you do two years at a junior college? what sort of, you know, difficult decisions or families making right now? >> that's certainly one of the decisions that some families are making, some students are thinking they're going to take a gap year. and, you know, we know historically that when students do take a gap year, sometimes it delays them going back to college. sometimes that gap becomes more than a year, sometimes they don't go to college at all. so, you know, you lose a little bit of momentum there, but there are many families that are holding out hope that they're going to be able to get their fafsa results very soon, one of the things that's happened in the state of california is that they

delayed the fafsa deadline from march 2nd to may 2nd. so for those families out there who haven't yet submitted the fafsa, you still have time, but you have to do it fast. and, they've also delayed the date by which you need to make your admission decision for uc and cal state schools. so it used to be may 1st. now it's may 15th. and they've done that because they're hoping that students will have received their financial aid offers in time to be able to make those decisions by may 15th. >> i mean, those two weeks could be crucial here. let's take a little tiny step back from fafsa and look at going to college. overall, many parents tell their children, you get into your dream school will figure out how to pay for it. is that the correct sequence to look at sort of how a family goes to college? >> it's not what i would recommend, i always recommend that families sit down together and talk about not what a dream school is, but what is an affordable path to college, for many families, you know,

thinking about it that way enables them to be more realistic and look at ways to avoid taking out student loans, which is the number one thing that i recommend i tell students to focus on scholarships and jobs not applying to loans, because it's so important to be able to graduate without all of that debt, what? a lot of 1718 year old students don't understand is that it takes the average borrower 20 years to pay off their student loans, and we see this, you know, historically that students then are not able to move out of their parents homes after they graduate. they come back to mom and dad's home so that they can afford to pay their loan payments, and they can't afford to pay rent. at the same time, they delay getting a car, they delay getting married. they delay having children and saving for their children's education, and they delay saving for their own retirement. so, you know, a decision that a young person makes at a critical time in their life affects the entire rest of their life. and parents need to sit down and talk to their kids about this decision making process and help them see that it is possible to

go to college without loans, but that you need to focus on, the kind of college education that you need for the career you need. right, some students might need a certificate, some might need an associate degree, some might need a bachelor's degree or more. but not everyone needs to go to a dream school to achieve their career dreams. >> can i ask real quick, jennifer, how long have you been doing this work, i've been doing this work for many, many years, you know, i've been working with scholarship owl for six and a half years, but i've been in this career for a very long time. >> good. i mean, you know, i keep thinking back to when i was making the decision. i actually went to community college first and then transferred to a four year in-state school, this pressing issue of student loan, honestly, i don't think i'd even heard about it back then, but now it's the number one thing that parents with young students think about, as some of those parents are still paying off their own loans and now your son is about to head to college. so, jennifer, it's been good to connect with you. this is something so many of us here in

the newsroom and at home are thinking and talking about. thank you for your time today. from scholarship owl. thank you, thank you. coming up on mornings on two the nine. as many are reflecting on the death of oj simpson, we'll take a look back at his early years in san francisco, where he got his start on the football field, and how he kept a piece of the city with him through much of his nfl career. plus if you've ever played 20 questions and let's face it, who hasn't? you'll want to check out person, place or thing right here on ktvu next, we're talking with the show's host about what the second season w l

oj simpson. his family says he died wednesday following a battle with prostate cancer. the most defining moment in oj simpson's life and fame was the murder trial in 1995. often called the trial of the century, it had a lasting effect not only on the people involved, but on american culture as a whole. the case was followed by millions of people across the country, and much of it started with that infamous chase in the white bronco, with television cameras following closely. people in los angeles rushing to highway overpasses to try and see it.

>> we, the jury in the above entitled action, find the defendant or orenthal james simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder. >> multiple surveys at the time of the verdict found there was a vast racial divide between black and white americans. in opinion of the results. but more recent polls show that more black americans now believe o.j. was guilty compared to in the years following the verdict. >> many people new to the bay area may not know that o.j. simpson was born and raised in san francisco. he grew up in potrero hill, where he developed his football skills at the rec center in that neighborhood. he went on to become a football superstar at san francisco's galileo high and city college. simpson wore number 32 during his days in san francisco, the same number he wore during his record breaking career with the buffalo bills. >> one knew oj simpson in the 70s as one of the most dynamic athletes in america, and he certainly was, you know, at the top, top of the list for the

nfl. >> simpson played his final two seasons with the san francisco 49ers in the late 70s. we have more coverage of oj simpson's life and death on the fox local app, including an inside look at what was called the trial of the century from former ktvu anchor ted rowlands, who was there. download the fox local app for your smart tv and search ktvu. >> well, switching gears, fox person, place or thing has been renewed for a second season here at ktvu. it's a half hour comedic game where contestants are giving clues and asked yes or no questions to try and identify a person, place or thing with a chance to win $5,000. i caught up with the show's host, comedian and actress melissa peterman, to talk more about it and how superfans at home can get a cut of that prize money. tell me, how much do you enjoy hosting the show? i mean, you've been at sitcoms, you're a comedian and actress, tell us about that. >> well, i'm a game show fanatic. i love to watch it from. i love to watch. i'm a
