a landmark case on homelessness, heads to the supreme court today. the implications it could have in the bay area and beyond. and san francisco mayor london breed back in the city this morning after visiting china. a recap of her trip and the plan to bring pandas to the bay area. >> from ktvu fox two n s. this is mornings on two. >> good morning to you. welcome to mornings on two i'm claudine wong. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it is monday morning april 22nd. nice to have you here bright and early. nice to be here on a monday morning. and it is earth day. so just a reminder. maybe people will be thinking about that. i think it's a nice day weather wise. let's check in with rosemary oroczo. i have to stop for seconds. we have
4:01 am
roberta gonzales and rosemary roscoe. so yeah, it starts with the row. >> you're like, how am i going to finish this? yeah. good morning. happy monday ladies. happy earth day everybody. we are with another nice morning out there. temperatures ranging from upper 40s to upper 50s. as we get into the afternoon, we will begin to see a transition. expect the coastal clouds to return this afternoon, and that will drop our temperatures along the coastline. still a very nice day. a better look at the current conditions and what we can expect for today, as well as the rest of the week. coming up in just a little bit, it is almost 401. let's see how the traffic is shaping up this morning with sal. good morning sal. good morning rosemary. >> right now we are doing very well. it is nice to be out there if you're going to be out there early. let's go right to the bay bridge. it looks pretty good here. and it's nice and light. this is why people get up early, get on the road and have this virtually to yourself. this is a look at interstate 880 and that traffic looks very good. and if you're driving on the san mateo
4:02 am
bridge, we're off to a good start. i do see some flashing lights out there. we'll investigate. so far it does not seem to be causing a big traffic delay. 401 let's get back to the headlines. all right. >> thank you. sal. today former president donald trump is back in court as opening statements in his hush money criminal trial begin. 12 jurors will decide whether or not the falsified business, whether or not he falsified business records to cover up a sex scandal during his 2016 presidential campaign. one key witness expected in the trial is trump's former lawyer and fixer, michael cohen. >> there's no question that the payments occurred. the question is whether or not the payments were illegal and what the prosecutors are going to have to argue here is that the payments that trump made to cohen were not for legal fees, that, in fact, they were to reimburse michael cohen for these hush money payments and that those reimbursements were made. i think the prosecution will likely argue, in order to try
4:03 am
and influence the election. >> cohen went to prison in 2018 after reaching a plea deal in a related case, trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts in this hush money case. the former president is still facing three other criminal trials. >> the supreme court is taking on several important cases this week. on thursday, the high court will hear arguments on whether former president trump can claim immunity for any act committed while in office. past supreme court rulings held a president cannot be liable in civil cases, but the court has never weighed in on the question of criminal prosecution. this case stems from trump's indictment over his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. >> today, the supreme court is hearing arguments in a landmark case on homelessness that could impact the bay area. it involves the city of grants pass, oregon. the high court will decide whether people can be cited and fined for sleeping on the streets. the potential impact here in california is significant. a lawsuit over homeless sweeps in san francisco
4:04 am
is currently on hold pending a decision in this case, so the breadth of the potential of the effect of this decision really, really is enormous in terms of the day to day lives of not only the homeless, but the way people experience life in their own neighborhoods, in their on their own shopping streets, their own, parks. advocates say this is the most important supreme court case to address homelessness. federal courts have previously ruled that outdoor sleeping and camping bans violate the constitution's eighth amendment, and are a form of cruel and unusual punishment. >> it's cruel and unusual to tell a person who's homeless, who's sleeping outdoors that he has to move, he can't sleep there, or he's going to be arrested. it's a it's a it's an abuse of the constitution which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. >> governor gavin newsom filed a letter with the court supporting grants pass as part of a push for clarity on what local
4:05 am
governments can do to confront the homelessness crisis. >> a demonstration is being planned for today in san francisco over the supreme court case involving homelessness and grants pass, oregon organizers say they are pushing the court not to overturn the ruling that prevents camping bans. they say it would have a devastating ripple effect for people across the country who are experiencing homelessness. >> governor newsom is once again launching an ad campaign targeting abortion restrictions in red states. this time in alabama. >> we're almost there. you're gonna make it. mass. >> i'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle, take a pregnancy test. >> the ad depicts a woman being arrested for trying to leave the state to get an abortion. it was created by the campaign for democracy, a political action committee created by governor newsom. it will begin appearing today in alabama, where republicans have called for prosecuting women who travel out of state for an abortion. >> a motorcyclist is in the
4:06 am
hospital after a crash during a sideshow near oakland's lake merritt. well, this was the scene after the crash around 6 p.m. yesterday at the intersection of grand avenue and perkins street, and you can see sideshow participants on dirt bikes still drive into the area as police investigated the crash, where car reportedly hit a motorcycle. oakland police say as many as 50 dirt bikes and atvs were part of that sideshow. we still do not know if the motorcyclist injured was involved in the stunts. >> police have arrested a man they say stabbed another man near a san francisco church. it happened at saint peter and paul church in north beach at 1:00 yesterday afternoon. police say when they got there, they found the victim with stab wounds and took them to the hospital. investigators were able to track down the suspect with the help of a witness. we're still working to find out what led up to the stabbing, or whether this was related to a similar stabbing that took place at the church on april 1st. >> five members of a bar security team have been arrested
4:07 am
by petaluma police accused of beating a customer. this all happened on saturday night at about 1130 at the roaring donkey on kentucky street. the victim told police he was removed from the bar, then beaten up by five employees after he argued with them over their treatment of a female customer. witnesses told police that at one point, the security team held the victim in a chokehold, while others hit him. police say the victim was not intoxicated and did pass a sobriety test. they tell us he had significant injuries, including swelling and bruising on his head. all five of the staff members were arrested, including one who was on probation and another one who had brass knuckles, which are illegal. san francisco mayor london breed is back in the bay area this morning following a weeklong trip to china. >> the goal of her visit is to advance economic ties with chinese cities and companies. she says she discussed adding more flights from china to sfo and the possibility of bringing pandas to the san francisco zoo.
4:08 am
>> we were truly successful in our trip. >> we had numerous meetings with government officials, with airlines and with business leaders. we held a business forum of people who have interest in not only doing business in san francisco, but investing in san francisco. >> right now, flights to china out of sfo are at just 50% of pre-pandemic levels. new flights would create a lot of revenue for the airport. as for the pandas, breed says she expects them to arrive as soon as paperwork is filed and the zoo makes accommodations, which could take up to a year. >> well, new housing will be unveiled in san jose today, the supporters say will help address the homelessness crisis. the 130 unit complex is located not far from diridon station, and is meant to help people who could have trouble affording market rate housing. half of the units have been designed as permanent supportive housing, which will serve people on section eight vouchers. the remaining units will be restricted to households earning 50 to 60% of area median
4:09 am
income, and housing activists in san pablo say they have gathered more than 1500 signatures to get renter protections on the ballot in november, and they plan to present those to the city tomorrow. the package would include rent stabilization, tenant anti-harassment rules and a just cause eviction ordinance. the group, called alliance of californians for community empowerment, say the policy package helps prevent people from being priced out of their rentals and will curb the growing problem of homelessness and housing costs. a rally is scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow at san pablo city hall. >> all right. it is 408. let's head over to rosemary oroczo for a look at our forecast today. how's it look, it's still looking good. not quite as warm as yesterday for many of us, but as we get into the second part of the day, temperatures will still be above average. giving you a live look here over san francisco. a dark start out there. we do have a few high clouds, a little bit of patchy fog joining us as well. storm tracker two there picking up on some low cloud cover off the coastline. as we get into the
4:10 am
second part of the day, do expect you to become more widespread in by tonight. those low clouds are moving back across the bay and into the north bay. i'll show you this with the futurecast model momentarily outside. right now we do have calm conditions. just a light breeze for you, napa. this morning. and temperatures are up by seven degrees in the south bay of san jose, up by six livermore. but half moon bay here are actually cooler, down by several degrees, as we do have. again, a little bit of fog trying to develop along the coastline and the onshore breeze will be strengthening as well. 46 degrees right now at half moon bay. that's one of the chillier spots this morning. brentwood is 60, as well as the south bay of san jose. so the futurecast again going back to the low clouds that we do expect by the second part of the day. here's a look at lunchtime. and you'll notice the brighter shade of white that is the low cloud cover beginning to rework its way across the coastline and now into the bay by sunset or so, the north bay into the east bay,
4:11 am
and the possibility of some patchy drizzle going along with it. we do expect those, the low clouds to continue into tomorrow and then even deepen more so for the days ahead. but for today we're going to knock numbers down just by a few degrees for most areas. oakland. right now will go to 71. yesterday you were 75. a better look at the afternoon highs for today and the cooling trend that will continue for the days ahead. coming up in just a bit. >> thank you. rosemary a whale was found dead near a beach in alameda. we'll tell you what wildlife experts say may have happened to the whale and the actions being taken today. >> and earth day is today. and a prestigious environmental award started by two bay area philanthropists will celebrate its 35th anniversary this year. their effort to recognize climate cham ons

the environment. this year, the united nations is issuing a warning about the devastating impact discarded plastic is having on our planet. a new un report found countries around the world generate 400 million tons of plastic waste every year . researchers found most of that plastic comes from products that are only used once, is plastics are never just plastic. they have colors in them. they have fire retardants. these are all chemicals. >> the un says these findings highlight the urgent need to recycle all plastic products and buy items that are not in plastic. today marks the 35th anniversary of the golden goldman environmental prize, founded by two san francisco philanthropists to honor grass roots leaders. >> ktvu jana katsuyama sat down
4:15 am
with john goldman, the board president and son of the founders, to reflect on the evolution of the prize and the environmental movement. >> it was on earth dayn 1990, when san francisco philanthropist rhoda and richard goldman planted the seeds of what now has grown into a yearly tradition the goldman environmental prize. >> we've got to take care of this earth. it's so precious. >> the prize shining a spotlight not on world leaders, but grassroots leaders. >> grassroots leaders have a terrible time being taken seriously. and that this war, this prize, gives us that serious touch that we are important, that our work is important. >> every year it uplifts extraordinary work done by ordinary people. >> this is recognizing individuals who are otherwise not recognized. >> john goldman is one of richard and rhoda goldman's sons and board president of the
4:16 am
goldman environmental prize foundation, now in its 35th year, the prize has honored 219 grassroots leaders from 95 countries. the winners selected for their courage tackling issues including pollution and deforestation, preserving wildlife habitats. >> my parents cared deeply about the welfare of the planet. from early on, my dad loved to hike. my mom relished jumping into those ice cold streams in the sierra without any hesitation whatsoever. and we all marveled at that. reflect back over the years, he shared stories of how he and his siblings all jumped in to help his parents brainstorm. >> at the beginning. and that, he said, led to the creation of the prizes symbolic award statue called the ouroboros. >> we decided that there would be six geophysical areas of the planet six winners from six
4:17 am
regions, he says. >> each receiving $60,000 at the time, six times 60 is 360. >> and so we got this whole sense of, you know, this 360 degree kind of view, which is what the ouroboros is, is the mythical snake eating its own tail. >> an ouroboros is a snake or dragon forming a perfect circle, an ancient symbol of the cycle of life and death, destruction and rebirth. >> the symmetry of it was was fascinating to me, and to all of us. and we thought, this is perfect. >> and so, year after year, at the goldman prize ceremonies in san francisco and washington, d.c, new prize winners come with new ideas a widening circle of inspiring grassroots leaders. >> i think one of the things that's unusual about this prize is the winners have become
4:18 am
extended family. they connect with each other. we encourage networking over the 35 years, goldman says, there have been changes. i think what's changed the most is are the issues, and i think the big one back in 89, when the prize was introduced, was about climate change. it wasn't taken quite as seriously. today, i would say the singular focus of the prize are on issues around climate change. >> another change of great concern. >> activists today, whether environmental or in social justice, are being attacked more and more. their lives are at much greater risk, and the prize itself has faced big challenges. i think the biggest challenge we saw was after my dad died, i think there were people who were skeptical about whether or not it could continue. we heard from quite a few people is this the
4:19 am
end? it was not the end. >> but like the ouroboros sculpture, a new chapter began as john, his sister susie gelman and brother doug goldman pulled together, partnering with high profile supporters to preserve the prize for future generations. >> we need more people like that, not less, and we need more opportunities to improve the planet, not fewer. >> even one person, when determined and passionate, can be more powerful than the most forbidding adversary. >> john goldman says he hopes in the future, the prize team can help find ways to replicate the prize winner's work. a cycle of communities helping other communities in a more connected world. >> we all know we have to face an existential threat, and we have to do something about it right now and not only our generation, but our generations that are coming up are demanding that we do that. >> jana katsuyama ktvu fox two
4:20 am
news. >> thank you. jana great story. the ceremony will be held next monday, april 29th. the winners will be announced at san francisco's war memorial opera house. >> initiative is marking earth day include a campaign for a plant based diet. demonstrators marched across the golden gate bridge this weekend to promote a vegan lifestyle. members of the san francisco vegan society say they want to encourage people to adopt a plant based diet to combat climate change. the group is also trying to pressure elected leaders to endorse the international plant based treaty, which would end subsidies to meat and dairy industries. >> we wanted to take this opportunity to ask people in celebration of earth day to give veganism a try. it really is the very best diet for the planet. >> the plant based treaty also seeks to halt the expansion of animal farms while restoring key ecosystems. >> i think people appreciated the fact that they were getting their message across on the side the walkway of the bridge and not not stopping traffic.
4:21 am
>> so that was smooth and it was a beautiful day as well. >> beautiful day to walk across the bridge. i think it will be today as well on earth day. let's check with rosemary oroczo. >> yes, happy monday! we will have a subtle change come our way. the clouds are making a comeback and with that, a cooling trend does begin today, although still going to be well above average in most areas, giving you a live look. here over san francisco, we have some high clouds out there, a little bit of patchy fog to start the morning. storm tracker two here. it's a quiet one for most of us, with winds generally light, even calm. and the futurecast model here pointing out for you the changes that are coming our way. here's a look at 3:00 in the afternoon in the low clouds working their way closer to the coast at this point. so along the coastline we'll turn partly to mostly cloudy for the second part of the afternoon. and then as we get into the evening hours, do expect those low clouds to begin to work across the bay into the north bay. in addition to the onshore breeze strengthening through the delta and through the bay by tonight,

5:31 am
what we can expect into the coming days. we are looking at the low clouds and the onshore breeze returning today. so along the coastline and just inside the bay we are likely to fill it. if you're inland, you have another warm day coming your way by tomorrow though, we all see that cooling trend and begin to fill it as we roll through the business week, i'll have a better look at the current conditions and what we can expect for the week ahead. coming up in just a little bit. at 530, the highways have been doing so far so good. let's see if anything's changed with sal. good morning. >> good morning rosemary. you know right now still things are looking mostly good out there. a couple of small problems, but the general commute i like. let's go. right to the bay bridge. a triple a traffic camera showing us that it looks very nice driving across all the way across the san francisco. not a lot of delays here right now. interstate 880 in oakland looks good and so does that. san mateo bridge as you drive across the bay right now, it's 531. let's get back to the headlines. thank you.

>> sal. over the weekend, beachgoers made an unsettling discovery just off the shore of alameda's crown beach. they spotted a dead gray whale floating in the water. ktvu allie rasmus joins us now with the plans by scientists and the army corps of engineers. and the work today to remove the whale and figure out how it died. good morning. allie >> good morning. yes, hopefully those plans move forward today. they don't know officially if they'll be able to do this work, but this is the first reported whale death in the bay area so far this year. now this was at alameda crown beach, which is where we are this morning. it is pitch dark so we can't show you the shore or anything in the water, but we can show you this beautiful picture that rosemary mentioned earlier of the moon over the bay. the female gray whale is not on the beach, but rather in the water visible from the shore. it's about 40ft long. it was discovered in the water near the crown beach on saturday evening. how the whale died is still not known. in general, the most common causes of whale deaths are boat strikes,
5:33 am
entanglement, and poor nutrition. but so far, scientists with the california academy of sciences say there are no initial signs that the whale suffered any of those problems. once they are able to study the whale, they hope to get more answers. >> what we'll do once we get the whale to a point where we can conduct an animal autopsy, called a necropsy, we will open it up and look for broken bones and hemorrhaging to see if the animal suffered a blunt force trauma from a vessel strike. >> again, how and why the whale died is not known yet, because the whale is still in the water and not on solid land. scientists haven't been able to do that. necropsy yet. sources told ktvu over the weekend that the plan was to have the army corps of engineers and the coast guard help scientists tow the mammal some place to shore so that they can do that work. and they said over the weekend that their goal was to possibly start that towing and removal process
5:34 am
as early as today. but again, we don't have any official word yet on what those plans are. we have reached out to east bay regional parks, which operates crown beach, and scientist with the california academy of sciences and marine mammal center, as well as the army corps of engineers and the coast guard. to find out more about those plans for today. live in alameda. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you, ali new this morning north korea launched several missiles towards its eastern waters. today south korea's military says north korea fired short range ballistic missiles from near its capital, pyongyang. military officials say it appeared to land in the sea. the launch comes just days after the u.s. and south korea held joint military drills in san francisco. >> the annual cherry blossom parade was disrupted by a group of pro-palestinian protesters. the activists walked onto the parade route in japantown yesterday and unfurled a banner in front of a convertible that was carrying state senator scott wiener. now, after about 15 minutes, the protesters did

disperse and that parade continued. well, for jewish people around the world, passover begins at sundown today . but in israel, many people say this year there is little to celebrate, with dozens of hostages taken from israel still being held by hamas and increasing tensions in the middle east. some relatives of the hostages set up a table in tel aviv with a place with place settings for their missing family members. >> in the last half a year, we are trying to get my sister out. >> with recent attacks and counterattacks between israel and iran, israeli troops are now being positioned along the entire length of israel's borders. >> israeli leaders are pushing back against an expected decision today by the u.s. to impose sanctions on a unit of soldiers in the israeli military. it would be the first time the u.s. has issued sanctions on the israeli military, although the u.s. has not confirmed which unit will be sanctioned. israeli leaders identified it as an infantry battalion made up of, quote, ultra-orthodox military
5:36 am
soldiers. they are accused of human rights violations in the west bank. well, as millions of jewish people around the world will begin observing passover tonight, law enforcement is on alert for any possible threats. fbi director christopher wray is warning the recent hostilities in the middle east could possibly lead to attacks against jewish people here in the united states. wray has ordered law enforcement agencies to add another layer of security around jewish facilities across the country. during passover. >> we at the bureau remain particularly concerned that lone actors could target large gatherings, high profile events or symbolic or religious locations for violence. >> wray says the number of hate crimes investigations involving jewish people in the u.s. has tripled since the start of the war between israel and hamas. he's concerned that the number could climb even higher due to the recent military conflict between israel and iran.
5:37 am
>> the $61 billion aid package for ukraine passed by the house over the weekend, is giving a morale boost to ukrainian soldiers. in part, the new aid will be direct military and humanitarian grants to the country. it will also replenish the ammo stocks depleted in the us. in recent weeks, ukrainian troops have been forced to withdraw from the front lines as they've been running low on ammunition and other supplies. >> that's the question of life and death. so from humanitarian point of view, this decision will help to save, i think, thousands of lives. plus it gives a chance for ukraine to continue the fight. >> now, the senate could vote on the aid package as soon as tomorrow. president biden has promised to sign it immediately. >> firefighters in fremont were able to put out a house fire within just 20 minutes. yesterday afternoon. two people inside the home on truman place were able to get out safely before firefighters arrived, but one person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. the cause is still under investigation. the east bay

5:44 am
home at about 640 in the morning. bass and her family were at home at the time of the break in. officers responded to the call and arrested the suspect without issue. neighbors are worried. they say they hope the burglary was not politically motivated. i don't even know if they would have realized it was the mayor's house per se, but i hope it was just sort of more innocent and a result of someone's mental illness, even if it was targeted, i they must have been somewhat ill because they would expect somebody would catch them pretty fast. >> thankfully, no one inside the home was injured. it's not clear if anything was stolen, but l.a. police say this is an ongoing investigation. >> a former pleasant hill police officer who was working in idaho has died in the line of duty. 27 year old tobin boulter started working at the pleasant hill police department back in 2018, but he then moved to idaho and was working for the ada county sheriff's office, the sheriff says. boulter was shot in boise on saturday night during a traffic stop. a citizen witnessed that shooting and

5:46 am
complaint accuses liccardo of using super pac money to pay for a recount of the march primary election results, in order to avoid a three person race in the november election. >> when we're talking about third party money, when we're talking about super pac money, federal campaign laws require that there not be coordination between those super pacs and a candidate. >> the complaint says liccardo used a poll from april 8th that showed his campaign would be vulnerable to a three way race, and the next day, a former liccardo staff member requested a recount. it also says the recount was paid for by the ctv pac, which the association says was formed by people close to liccardo. well, liccardo's campaign did release a statement in response to that complaint, saying in part, this complaint filed by a supporter of one of sam liccardo s political opponents lacks any evidence and cites a poll in which sam liccardo wins a general election by over 5. >> tomorrow, the u.s. senate is

of the tourists use it. we have a lot of tourists that come over on bikes and take the ferry back. you know, they're going to have to get on busses now, which is going to be really problematic. san francisco. >> all right. thank you jane. >> a bus bridge between the two cities via golden gate transit. so be sure to give yourself plenty of extra time. the ferry service also announcing those bus bridges day by day without really giving us much of a timeline on how much longer it will be where we would go without the ferry on a regular basis. but officials say be sure to keep an eye on their x account for all updates. we're live this morning in sausalito. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you james. certainly a story we will continue to follow for you. well a motorcyclist is in the hospital after a crash during a sideshow near oakland's lake merritt. this was the scene after the crash. around 6 p.m. yesterday. this was the intersection of grand avenue and
6:05 am
perkins street. and you can see sideshow participants on dirt bikes still driving through the area. and this was happening as police were investigating the crash where a car reportedly hit a motorcycle. oakland police say as many as 50 dirt bikes and atvs were part of that sideshow. we still do not know if the motorcyclist injured was involved in the stunts. >> firefighters and police officers in sunnyvale say two newly hired full time paramedics will provide a big boost in public safety in the city. firefighters and police officers are trained to handle medical emergencies, but for years, sunnyvale did not have a single paramedic who are often more qualified to respond to the most life threatening situations. sunnyvale firefighters and police officers are now calling on the city to hire more paramedics. in the months and years ahead, will five members of a bar security team have been arrested by petaluma police accused of beating a customer? >> this happened on saturday night, about 1130 at the roaring donkey on kentucky street. the
6:06 am
victim told police that he was removed from the bar, then beaten up by the five employees after he argued with them over their treatment of a female customer. witnesses told police that at one point, the security team held the victim in a chokehold while others hit him. police say the victim was not intoxicated and did pass a sobriety test. they tell us he also had significant injuries, including swelling and bruising on his head. all five of the staff members were arrested, including one who was on probation and another who had brass knuckles, which are illegal. >> a new housing will be unveiled in san jose today. that supporters say will help address the homelessness crisis. the 130 unit complex is located not far from diridon station. it's meant to help people who could have trouble affording market rate housing. half of the units have been designated as permanent supportive housing, which will serve people on section eight vouchers. the remaining units will be restricted to households earning 50 to 60% of the area's median income.
6:07 am
>> housing activists in san pablo say they've gathered more than 1500 signatures to get renter protections on the ballot in november, and they do plan to present those to the city tomorrow. now, the package would include rent stabilization, tenant anti-harassment rules and a just cause eviction ordinance. the group, called alliance of californians for community empowerment, say the policy package helps prevent people from being priced out of their rentals and will curb the growing problem of homelessness and rising housing costs. a rally is scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow at san pablo city hall. >> today is earth day. there are many events in the bay area and across the country to inspire people to help the environment. this year, the united nations is issuing a warning about the devastating impact discarded plastic is having on our planet. a new un report found countries around the world generate 400 million tons of plastic waste every year, researchers found. most of that plastic comes from products that are only used once . >> the problem is, plastics are
6:08 am
never just plastic. they have colors in them. they have fire retardants. these are all chemicals. >> now, the un says these findings highlight the urgent need to make and buy products that are not in plastic. a good reminder for today on earth day especially, yes, and also compost, compost, compost. it's like how many tons and tons of food goes into the landfill that could go into compost as well. >> so a reminder today as needed because i certainly could be better at that. >> we all could. we all could. >> all right. time now is 607. let's see if traffic is a better for us on this monday morning. hi, sal. >> well, pam, are you reusable water? >> i have my reusable water right as well. thank you. instead of those plastic bottles. >> right? yep. just kind of fill it up and there you go. you don't have to do that plastic bottle thing. all right, let's go outside and check out the bay bridge from our triple a traffic camera. you can see that it is backed up for about. oh, i would
6:09 am
say that's ten minutes. it's not all that severe. there is a bigger backup than there was a little while ago. looking at interstate 880, you can see traffic is moving along pretty nicely. san mateo bridge is moderate. no major issues this morning in the in the east bay commute. looks like what happened here. there you go. the east bay commute still looks pretty good. a little slowing on westbound 580 and of course a little bit of slowing on highway four. westbound now westbound four right near the willow pass grade. they were clearing a crash here. i just want to put it on your radar. traffic is a little bit more slow than it normally is. it's backed up out of pittsburgh this morning for this early commute. we'll keep an eye on that for you. 608 let's get back to the desk. >> thank you. sal. the nation's highest court hearing, a landmark case on homelessness. what's at stake for people without homes and the impact that decision could have here in the bay area. >> and a high speed train project connecting las vegas and southern california, breaking ground today. how soon you'll be able to board the new bullet train
6:12 am
in his hush money trial. ktvu andre senior joining us now with what we can expect moving forward andre. >> yeah. pam the president arriving former president arriving just within the last few minutes or so. 12 jurors will decide whether or not donald trump falsified business records to cover up an alleged
6:13 am
sex scandal during the 2016 presidential campaign. trump's legal team is expressing confidence as long as the jury focuses on the facts, as long as the jury can see through all the media coverage and all the sensationalism and focus on the actual facts at issue. >> in this case, we believe we have a winning case. >> the jury of seven men and five women include a software engineer, an english teacher, and an investment banker. there are also two lawyers on the jury, which experts say is unusual. >> prosecutors notoriously don't like seating lawyers on juries precisely because they are independent thinkers who often think they know better than the prosecutors do. >> i think it's not a good thing for a defendant because of the influence that can be exercised over the jury. >> i feel like the trial is limiting. >> trump's time on the campaign trail. he's required to be in court. the trial is scheduled for four days a week, with only wednesdays left open. and experts say this trial could last for as long as two months.
6:14 am
>> so the challenge for the trump campaign is how do you campaign in a situation like that, especially when a lot of the news coming out of the court room is bad for trump? >> the judge promised a ruling this morning before opening statements on what prosecutors can bring up if trump testifies, which he has said he'd like to do. several media reports say the first witness for the prosecution in the trial will be david becker, the former publisher of the national enquirer. prosecutors say he helped cover up potential damaging stories about trump ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign. claudine. >> all right. thanks, andre. well, the supreme court is taking on several important cases this week. on thursday, the high court will hear arguments on whether former president trump can claim immunity for any act committed while in office. past supreme court rulings held that a president can't be liable in civil cases, but the court has never weighed in on the question of criminal prosecution. now, this case stems from trump's indictment over his role in trying to overturn the 2020
6:15 am
presidential election. >> today, the supreme court is hearing arguments in a landmark case on homelessness that could impact the bay area. it involves the city of grants pass, oregon. the high court will decide whether people can be cited and fined for sleeping on the streets. the potential impact here in california is significant. a lawsuit over homeless sweeps in san francisco is currently on hold, pending a decision in this case. >> so the breadth of the potential of the effect of this decision really, really is enormous in terms of the day to day lives of not only the homeless, but the way people experience life in their own neighborhoods, in their on their own shopping streets, their own parks. >> now, advocates say this is the most important supreme court case to address homelessness. federal courts have previously ruled that banning outdoor sleeping and camping violates the constitution's eighth amendment, which prevents cruel and unusual punishment.
6:16 am
>> it's cruel and unusual to tell a person who's homeless, who's sleeping outdoors that he has to move, he can't sleep there, or he's going to be arrested. it's a it's a it's an abuse of the constitution which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. >> governor gavin newsom filed a letter with the court supporting grants pass as part of a push for clarity on what local governments can do to confront the homelessness crisis. well governor newsom is once again launching an ad campaign targeting abortion restrictions in red states, this time in alabama. >> we're almost there. you're gonna make it. >> mass. i'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle, take a pregnancy test. >> well, the ad depicts a woman being arrested for trying to leave the state to get an abortion. it was created by the campaign for democracy, a political action committee that was created by governor newsom. it will start appearing today in alabama, where republicans have
6:17 am
called for prosecuting women who travel out of state for an abortion. >> tomorrow, the us senate is expected to vote on a package of bills that includes $95 billion in foreign aid to ukraine and israel, along with new restrictions on tiktok. now, the measure requires the platforms china based owner to sell its stake within a year due to national security concerns. but legal experts say the social media app will not go away any time soon. tiktok says it will likely go to court to try to block the law if it passes, claiming first amendment rights. >> a plan to build a high speed rail system between southern california and las vegas is set to take a big step forward today. the company behind the brightline west is officially breaking ground today. construction was actually originally scheduled to start in 2020, but that was delayed by financing issues. the company says passengers will be able to get from la to vegas in less than three hours. when it's finished. the goal is to be finished by the summer of 2028, in time for the olympics in la.
6:18 am
>> wow, okay, that would be good. >> that would be good. that would get people yes, it sounds good. >> yeah. we'll see, we'll see. all right. let's check in with sal. what are you keeping an eye on? >> well, highway four there, pam and also claudine. i want to give you a little update here. we still have a bunch of slow traffic on highway four. as you come out toward the willow pass grade, and that's because of a crash or clearing here. traffic is backed up into pittsburgh, getting out of highway four, so give yourself extra time. if you are driving to the bay bridge or triple a traffic camera shows it is filled in. it is backed up for about a 10 to 15 minute wait. no major problems here. and if you're driving on interstate 880, it looks okay. san mateo bridge moderately heavy, heading out toward the toll from the toll plaza to the peninsula at 618. let's check. today's weather seems a little hazy out there. rosemary, sal? yes, a little bit of a fog out there this morning. in addition to high clouds, a beautiful
6:19 am
sunrise, the official sunrise at 624. here's a look over san francisco as we take a peek toward the north and east. gorgeous, gorgeous shot there. we do have changes coming our way. subtle changes today. bigger changes by tomorrow. storm tracker two. here we begin to lose the ridge that brought us all that warm weather over the weekend. today we will continue with the temperatures above average. the futurecast model. so the high clouds out there joining us. but by the afternoon, the low clouds are joining us once again along the coastline. by sunset, creeping across the bay to the inner east bay, as well as the north bay. drizzle will be a possibility getting into the coming days as well. here's a look at tomorrow morning where the clouds are widespread, said so tomorrow morning going to look a lot different than what we're seeing out there this morning. by the afternoon it pulls back. we'll call for partly sunny skies along the coastline and then
6:20 am
mostly sunny for our inland cities. wednesday is a bit of a different story. we start out with widespread cloud cover, a little bit of drizzle, and for the afternoon, partly sunny, partly cloudy skies. so that is the pattern moving forward. in addition to the cloud cover today, do expect that onshore breeze to pick up in the afternoon along the coastline, just inside the bay and perhaps through the delta. so again, another indication of the cooler weather expected to arrive a little bit later today, lasting into the business week 55 degrees right now in san francisco, we've got upper 50s in brentwood. your afternoon for today, 66 san francisco, 70s around the bay, still managing low 80s for our inland cities. you're not going to feel the cool down just yet, but tomorrow you will. i'll show you that here in the extended forecast. if you're going to the giants game. partly cloudy skies, upper 50s and a west breeze to 15mph. it's going to be cool at oracle park this evening. make sure you bring your jacket. notice the

big drop off on tuesday. upper 50s at the coast. upper 60s around the bay. only getting to about 70 degrees inland and then slightly cooler wednesday, thursday, friday, thursday night into friday we even have a chance of showers in the forecast at the moment, so drizzle, showers, cooler weather , cloudier conditions. we do rebound a little bit with partly cloudy skies and mild weather expected for the weekend. pam. >> all right thank you rosemary san francisco's mayor is back in the city after a week long trip to china. the takeaways from her visit and what she hopes to accomplish. and as we celebrate earth day, we're going to show you some of the events happening across the bay area to protect mother e th

east bay massage parlors as part of an investigation into sex trafficking. now the two businesses are located in el sobrante. they are both on appian way and both have been subject to investigations and raids for several years. this most recent raid came after undercover officers say they were solicited by sex workers. no word yet on what officers seized during this operation. firefighters in fremont were able to put out a house fire in just about 20 minutes. two people inside the home on truman place were able to get out safely before firefighters arrived, but one person was
6:25 am
taken to the hospital with minor injuries. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. initiatives marking earth day include a campaign for a plant based diet. demonstrators marched across the golden gate bridge this weekend to promote a vegan lifestyle. members of the san francisco vegan society say they want to encourage people to adopt a plant based diet to combat climate change. the group is also trying to pressure elected leaders to endorse the international plant based treaty, which would end subsidies to meat and dairy industries. >> we wanted to take this opportunity to ask people in celebration of earth day to give veganism a try. it really is the very best diet for the planet. oh yeah. >> the plant based treaty also seeks to halt the expansion of animal farms while restoring key ecosystems. as dozens of volunteers gathered yesterday in san jose for a clean up project at the guadalupe river trail ahead of earth day. they came from an international church's young adult service group, with
6:26 am
some coming from as far away as roseville. a volunteer with the church tells us. environmental protection projects are one way they want to inspire and improve the local communities, and san francisco mayor london breed back in the bay area this morning, following a weeklong trip to china. the goal of her visit is to advance economic ties with chinese cities and companies, she says. she discussed adding more flights from china to sfo, and the possibility of bringing pandas to the san francisco zoo. >> we were truly successful in our trip. we had numerous meetings with government officials, with airlines and with business leaders. we held a business forum of people who have interest in not only doing business in san francisco, but investing in san francisco right now, flights to china out of sfo are at just 50% of pre-pandemic levels. >> new flights would create a lot of revenue for the airport. as for the pandas, breed says she expects them to arrive as soon as paperwork is filed and
6:27 am
the zoo makes accommodations, which could take up to one year. safety is top of mind for many jewish people around the world as they prepare for passover. what's being done to protect jewish facilities across the country during this holiday and as we enter fire season one program now available to protect homes in danger zones, which bay area homeowners can qualify for grants to help protect their properties a

us here on morning sun two. i'm pam cook and i'm claudine wong. >> today is monday, april 22nd. we had an absolute gorgeous weekend that was all lined up for us. and now as we enter the workweek, rosemary's talking about changes. >> yes. big changes. ladies good morning to you. happy monday, happy earth day everybody. today the changes will be pretty much along the coastline. maybe just inside the bay giving you a live look there at the golden gate bridge where you can see some fog there in the photo. we do have the clouds returning to our coastline for today. the onshore breeze expected to pick up just a little bit into the afternoon. and so that's where we're definitely going to fill it temperature wise, upper 40s to upper 50s expected as we roll into the 7:00 hour and for the afternoon low 60s at the coast to low 80s inland, so still well above average. and for our inland cities, just as warm as yesterday. a better look at what we can expect heading into your monday, as well as the rest of the week. coming up in just a
6:32 am
bit at 631. let's see how the highways are doing this morning with sal. hi, sal. >> hey, rosemary. right now we do have some slowing out. there it is getting into the heart of the commute territory. here we are just after 630, and we're seeing some slow traffic approaching the richmond bridge. also at the bay bridge toll plaza, we will see kind of a big delay getting into san francisco. no problems on 880 in oakland, on the san mateo bridge. it's okay. still have some slowing on highway four and concord. we'll break that down for you. coming up in just a few now at 631. let's get right back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal. people in alameda this weekend came across a disturbing sight. a large gray whale found dead near the shore at crown beach. scientists hope they can start work as soon as today to find out how the whale died. ktvu sally rasmus joining us now from crown beach in alameda this morning with the details. ali good morning pam. >> now that the sun is up, we can give you a clearer view of
6:33 am
the bay here at alameda crown beach. you can see the tide is out. we don't see any. at least where we are. any sign of that 40 foot whale that washed up here over the weekend? the tide is out. and so it may have been pushed out farther away from where we are here. this morning. but we have video from over the weekend of this whale. it was very visible from the shoreline. and this is what people saw when they came to alameda's crown beach, how this whale died and why it washed up here is still a mystery at this point. it is a female gray whale. it's about 40ft long. the most coon causes of whale deaths are both strikes getting entangled in netting for fishing and poor nutrition. but so far, scientists with the california academy of sciences say there are no initial signs that this whale suffered any of those problems. >> hopefully, they'll get dignity soon. >> people are always upset when they see dead whales and it is unfortunate, but it's always an opportunity for us to learn more
6:34 am
about the species and the population and how they're doing . >> now, once scientists are able to study the whale and do a necropsy, they hope to get some more answers, sources told ktvu over the weekend that the plan was to have the army corps of engineers and the coast guard help scientists tow the mammal someplace to shore in order to do that, necropsy, they said they hoped today would be the day to do that. but those plans have not yet been finalized. we've reached out to east bay regional parks, which operates this beach. the coast guard and the marine mammal center, to find out more about those plans today. but in the meantime, you see, this is all we can see from where we are here at alameda's crown beach. a nice, beautiful sunrise and calm waters, but no sign of that 40 foot long female gray whale that was found dead here over the weekend. live in alameda. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, allie, thank you for the update. the federal government has announced a new program to help fire victims in four counties in the greater bay
6:35 am
area, impacted by the fires in 2020. now, the money from washington, d.c. is designated to help low to moderate income homeowners in solano, sonoma, napa and santa cruz counties. they're eligible for federal grants totaling as much as $50,000 to retrofit their homes to protect them from wildfires. the goal is to help homeowners homeowners who have been affected by past wildfires in these four counties. if you want more information on how you can apply, you can go to our website, ktvu.com and click on web links. the east bay regional park district is set to receive nearly $1.4 million in federal funding for wildfire prevention and forest work. the funding comes from bipartisan legislation signed by president biden in march. they will be used to mainly remove dead and dying trees and regional parks. the financial boost will also improve existing year round efforts to prevent wildfires for jewish people around the world. >> passover begins at sundown today, but in israel, many
6:36 am
people say this year there is little to celebrate, with dozens of hostages taken from israel still being held by hamas and increasing tensions in the middle east. some relatives of the hostages set up a table in tel aviv with place settings for their missing family members. >> in the last half, a year, we are trying to get my sister out. >> with recent attacks and counterattacks between israel and iran, israeli troops are now being positioned along the entire length of israel's borders. >> a group of government attorneys in santa clara county has filed a complaint with the federal elections commission against district 16 congressional frontrunner sam liccardo and his campaign. now, the complaint accuses liccardo of using super pac money to pay for a recount of the march primary election results in order to avoid a three person race in the november election. >> when we're talking about third party money, when we're talking about super pac money, federal campaign laws require that there not be coordination between those super pacs and a
6:37 am
candidate. >> the complaint says liccardo used a poll from april 8th that showed his campaign would be vulnerable in a three way race, and the next day, a former liccardo staff member requested a recount. it also says the recount was paid for by the ctv pac, which the association says was formed by people close to liccardo. now, liccardo's campaign released a statement in response to the complaint, saying in part, quote, this complaint filed by a supporter of one of sam liccardo's political opponents lacks any evidence and cites a poll in which sam liccardo wins a general election by over 5. >> all right. time now is 637 and time to check in with traffic. as people go back to their work week on this monday. sal. >> absolutely. and we've been looking at some of these east bay commutes. i want to show you the traffic at the toll plaza approach is slow, but we've been talking about highway four and westbound four. we had a crash
6:38 am
at the willow pass. great. it's in the center divide, so it's not in the lanes anymore. but look, traffic is backed up almost all the way to antioch. it's kind of a tougher morning for you if you're a highway four driver. the golden gate bridge looks pretty good. you know that. there's no sausalito ferry today, so some people may be taking the car. it's not really having a measured effect on the golden gate bridge. the richmond bridge traffic is busy heading over to marin and at the bay bridge, we have a bigger delay. not a lot going on in the south bay. we'll check in with that commute coming up soon at 637. let's get back to rosemary, who's talking about today's weather. >> all right, sal thank you. good morning. happy monday everybody. we do have changes coming our way for the week ahead today. subtle bigger changes coming tomorrow. and even a possibility of scattered showers. i'll show you that in the extended forecast outside our doors at this hour. we've got some fog there near the golden gate bridge. we have high clouds overhead, a beautiful sunrise out there this morning. winds are light, even calm. we
6:39 am
will see the onshore breeze return along with this new switch coming our way a little bit later today. but santa rosa, novato, napa, concord and oakland all reporting calm conditions in right now, coming in from the north. as you can see the arrow there, fairfield reporting a southerly breeze at about six miles per hour. temperature wise, a chilly start in half moon bay, 46 degrees right now. low 50s san francisco, upper 50s to start your morning in brentwood and san jose holding on to 59. san jose was 60 degrees. most of the morning. so stepping out in your neighborhood going to be awfully mild. here's a look at the future cast getting into the second part of the afternoon. the low clouds are back with us and by sunset expect it to be rolling into the east bay shore as well as into the north bay. in addition to a little bit of patchy drizzle out there by the afternoon evening hours for our coastline and our hills. temperature wise, we are going to bring numbers down by just a few degrees. 66 the afternoon
6:40 am
high in san francisco, 71 in oakland, 79 in san jose, a little bit cooler than yesterday, but still well above average for this time of year. the bigger drop will come tomorrow in addition to the cloudier skies and the potential for a little bit of wet weather, all that coming up in the extended forecast after the break, we can, you know, represent who we are and be proud of who we represent and just ourselves. >> overcoming personal struggles through speech. how a north bay high schoolers volunteer service has empowered her to become a voice for others. >> first, let's head out to our newsroom. check in with garcia for a look at the other stories we're following for you. good morning. good morning. >> when i get to join you in studio, pam and claudine, we're monitoring tesla stock. pam, you just reported shares of the electric car company are among the biggest declines we're seeing at the opening bell. we'll take a look at what's fueling some of the troubles at tesla. plus the auto rocky road is the key here.

6:45 am
to attacks against jewish people here in the united states. wray has ordered law enforcement agencies to add another layer of security around jewish facilities across the country. during passover. >> we at the bureau remain particularly concerned that lone actors could target large gatherings, high profile events or symbolic or religious locations for violence. >> ray says the number of hate crime investigations involving jewish people in the us has tripled since the start of the war between israel and hamas. he is concerned that the number could climb even higher due to the recent military conflict between israel and iran. >> in today's dollars and cents, the united auto workers union is getting a big win. workers at a volkswagen plant in tennessee have voted to join the union. the plant will be the first foreign owned factory in the south, represented by the uaw. the union's pushing to work with more plants in the south, but that is a tough task considering the region is the least unionized part of the country. the facility is also the only
