tv KTVU Mornings on 2 FOX April 29, 2024 7:00am-9:01am PDT
7:00 am
right now in my mind. and you know, i'm just i'm just heartbroken for the family. a teacher remembers her young student, one of four family members killed in a violent crash in pleasanton. how the community came out to honor the family, and what police now say was likely a factor in the crash. then a new week starts with pro-palestinian protests spreading to another bay area college campus, where students plan to gather later today. a united airlines flight diverted to sfo. why the plane had to turn back and the unusual route the aircraft took from ktvu. fox two news. this is mornings on two. good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian i'm andre senior. today is monday, april 29th. the final days of may in fact. so let's find out how it's going to look on this monday with steve paulson. he is in the weather center this morning tracking the latest. it looks pretty quiet here. can't get rid of that breeze. that's for sure. it'll be a lovely day today. good visibility, good air quality,
7:01 am
but temps will end up pretty close to where they should be for seasonal averages. there's a lot of sun out there. there's only a few patches of low clouds, so if you're looking for sunshine, today is the day and probably tomorrow and maybe a little warmer as we head towards the first and 2nd of may. but you can call me the breeze because that's what we've had. we've had wind, blustery conditions, breezy conditions, but still it'll be nice to mild to warm temperatures in the range where they should be 60s and 70s. well, i'm searching for a smooth commute. is that the case? i think so, steve. i think you're going to be okay in many areas. you know me, i'm a simple man. i like just non-eventful boring traffic. right. and that's happening on 580 as you drive into dublin. however, on 680, which by the way, is open after the weekend closure, we had a crash at 84. that's been slow. 880 at alvarado, alvarado, niles. they've cleared that at the bay bridge toll plaza. we do have a backup that stretches for about 20 minutes. once you get onto the bridge, it looks better. another look at the
7:02 am
south bay when we come back. but now at 701, let's get right back to the headlines, sal. thank you. pro-palestinian demonstrators continue on college campuses nationwide, including at stanford, where organizers say they've made progress in their efforts. ktvu james torres live at stanford with the latest developments there. james garcia. well, all we're really hearing this morning are just the bells, the top of the hour at here at stanford university's campus. behind me, you can see the number of tents that are still here and have been here since thursday, but not too much activity going on. not a lot of noise being made at this hour here. but here's what we're learning from the folks here. these student protesters now saying that they have the support of the student body. we'll show you what the demonstrations on stanford's campus have looked like over the last couple of days. one of the groups represented here, students for justice in palestine, say the school's student body voted overwhelmingly in favor of a ballot initiative calling for israeli divestment. just like at many other campuses across the
7:03 am
country where you see these protests, the people here say schools have investments in companies like lockheed martin, chevron or hewlett packard, and they accuse each of those for contributing to israeli attacks in gaza. one man who approached the protests over the weekend says he hopes all of those demonstrations, at least what we've seen here, continue to remain peaceful. when i look at these kids, i fear for i fear for their safety, and i hope that they will be allowed to exercise their first amendment without the risk of being, kind of retaliated against or being arrested or being harassed or being harmed. this morning, ktvu did reach out to some of the companies mentioned by those protesters. a spokesperson from lockheed martin issued a statement saying in part, we respect the right to peaceful protest and we continue to stand ready to support the u.s. government and allies to deliver strategic deterrence and security solutions. we've yet to hear directly from stanford
7:04 am
university, but we know school administration told students they're in violating, rather in violation of its protest policies, mostly because of those overnight encampments are not allowed. we also know the school asked for those tents to be gone by friday night, or else those people would face consequences in the form of issues with the office of student conduct and even arrests. we have seen law enforcement officers here in the last few days, but no reports of arrests at this time. now it's not clear how much of an influence a student body support or vote would have on the university's board of trustees, who ultimately would make a decision on any divestment conversations. but the people here, those protesters here say having that student body support is still a win. we're live this morning from stanford university . i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news james thank you. a demonstration is also planned on the campus of san francisco state later today. organizers say the noontime rally is meant
7:05 am
to be a show of support for the people of palestine. it is the latest demonstration planned for the bay area, calling for an end to u.s. military aid to israel. they're also calling on the school's president to refrain from calling police to campus to deal with the protesters, as well as refrain from any retaliation against students. and this morning, increased police patrols continue on the ucla campus. following a weekend of tense and sometimes violent protests. he was about to go. several fights broke out on campus yesterday between pro-palestinian demonstrators and pro-israel counter-protesters. the violence came amid a campus demonstration that involved thousands of protesters, many of them ucla students. while at the usc campus, police in riot gear returned this weekend after pro-palestinian demonstrators returned with tents. they reestablished their encampment just days after police arrested 93 demonstrators. last week, usc canceled its main commencement ceremony, citing safety concerns . passengers headed from sacramento to denver finally reached their destination after
7:06 am
quite a roundabout route. the united airlines flight was diverted yesterday morning to sfo due to a possible mechanical issue. flightaware tracked the plane's movements from sacramento to sfo. the planes circled back several times before landing safely at sfo. the boeing jet was carrying 167 passengers. united said its pilots never had to declare an emergency before the flight was diverted. the passengers deplaned and were put on other flights to denver. it has now been a year since a string of stabbings near the uc davis campus. two men were killed. one woman was hurt during a five day period. david bro was the first victim to die in the attacks. he was known in the neighborhood surrounding the uc davis campus as a compassionate man. this weekend, his sister maria paid a visit to the bench on a street corner near the davis campus in his memory. when we hear david's name, i would love for people to think of compassion. that's why he sat here, because he, on this bench specifically, which is a monument to compassion in the
7:07 am
city of davis, and he symbolized that the man who's been arrested for the attacks, 21 year old carlos dominguez, is due back in court in june. that's when he's expected to learn his trial date, the court has ruled. the former uc davis student is mentally competent to stand trial, cleanup and recovery efforts are underway after intense tornadoes slammed parts of the midwest. dozens of destructive tornadoes swept through states like nebraska, kansas and oklahoma this weekend. the strong winds left hundreds of buildings damaged. in oklahoma, at least four people were killed and many more left injured. everything else can be rebuilt, but but we can't. we can't restore life. you come upstairs, and see that you have no house from emerging from the basement. you know, your home, but you're actually homeless as well as that cleanup continues today, the national weather service warns flash flooding remains a threat in parts of the region. 707 now happening today, people can drive in and out of big sur

7:09 am
it's a little crowded, but nothing out of the ordinary. we have been looking. i promised you a look at the south bay. that is a nice commute so far. 880 is slow into union city and southbound 680 is slow because of earlier problems at the sunol grade at 708. let's go back to garcia. people who drive electric vehicles should have an easier time finding a place to charge in california than ever before, governor newsom announced. there are now one ev charging station for every gas station in our state. the governor also highlighted a move by tesla to open up its supercharger network to most other evs, and said it will help in the state's goal of going zero emissions on all vehicles. today, we're announcing tesla's opening up its charging network to additional models of electric vehicles. this is all in an effort to build out the infrastructure in the state of california that currently totals 105,000 electric vehicle chargers for public use, and about 10,000 of these super charging stations. in 2020, governor newsom signed an executive order calling for all

7:14 am
the church. more than 60 years ago. now. at one point, church members were asked to tell their personal stories of this groundbreaking religious and civil rights leader. i sat down in the office where cecil was and cecil wasn't in the room, and i sat down across from his desk where a sign said minister of liberation, and he walked in and changed my life. and another glide church member says he'll always remember reverend williams as someone who dedicated his life to feeding the hungry and finding shelter for the needy. and i met cecil what he was talking about building homes for people. and so the words that stick with me are affordable housing and hope, and the cecil williams house and the rest of it. that's the legacy. it's let's get people off the streets and into housing . reverend cecil williams died one week ago at the age of 94, and glide church in san

7:16 am
deadly crash. now to an intense push in berkeley to recruit more women to its fire department. this weekend, more than 30 women gathered at the berkeley fire department training center for a firefighter camp, one of many efforts to draw more women to a profession that's long been dominated by men. right now, there are just 18 women serving as berkeley firefighters and emts. the women started the weekend by learning how to properly carry the department's ladders. really neat to be like, can i do this? like, am i able to do this and then see like, oh yeah, i totally can. this is a doable thing. it's achievable if you want to achieve it, this camp is really, really good for that. over the past decade, the number of female firefighters has increased, but they still make up less than 10% of all fire departments. ferry service between san francisco and sausalito remains suspended this monday morning commute. that service stopped back on april 19th, when a routine inspection uncovered some damage to the pier in sausalito, so busses are providing transportation for ferry riders traveling between san francisco and sausalito.
7:17 am
during the closure. the goal is to resume ferry service sometime this week. all right, time now. 716 let's turn things back over to sal castaneda this morning. we're in the middle of the rush hour commute, so what trouble spot should we be looking out for? well, the san mateo bridge. all of a sudden, garcia and andre or andré and garcia, since andre was speaking there first. let's go and take a look at that view of the map system. all of a sudden i see a bunch of slow traffic from 92, eight, 80 heading west. there was a crash southbound 880 right near industrial. so that area a little bit tricky, a little more routine, but still slow nevertheless. this is the bay bridge toll plaza that is backed up a little bit here. 15 to 20 minute delay, no issues on interstate 880. driving past the coliseum. we've had a slight delay at bart because of some police activity at coliseum station. we're going to check in with that. the south bay commute still remains good, although we're seeing some people join us there. but for the most part, i like what i see in that silicon
7:18 am
valley commute at 717, you know, steve, i've been searching for a good commute and i haven't found one yet, so don't ask me no questions. and you won't tell me? no, i won't tell you no lies. that's true. all right. thank you. sir, clarification here. i'm guessing on one of these temps, based on my 2 or 3 years of experience in this business, the bodega bay temp does not report, which is just drives me nuts because it's so important. i need to get that fixed. point raised. boy, temp is 52 point arena 51. so i figured bodega bay is probably close to that 51 look at san francisco bowie 50. that 51 is at the monterey bay aquarium as well. these are really cold bowie temps for the end of april, which means even if we get some warm up inland, fog will not be far away. there's not much today, very little at all. it's been disrupted. air aloft is cool. the wind as well kind of knocks it down, and you can see it disappearing right along the coast. but it'll be
7:19 am
back later in the week. 40s on many, many of the temps here. menlo park 45, petaluma 45. vallejo 46. that is cool for vallejo. 46. also in clayton, north dublin 44. pinole also dipped to 44. orinda has dropped to 43. a lot of mid 40s, even berkeley at 49 and el sobrante at 47. a little bit of a breeze. half moon bay north gusting to 26. i mean, we'll still have a breezy day. not as windy as it was on saturday. man, that was roaring 20s up in the mountains. 37 though mount shasta, alturas 32, elko 38. mammoth was 27. now there 35. breeze probably picked up. we're just caught in between systems. they continue to plow into the pacific northwest. so that keeps us from really warming up too much. the big news though, is continues to be the weekend. a couple of forecast models are driving in a really deep cold system with rain. the others kind of keep it a little more to the north, but i would expect some form of changes by the time we get to the first weekend in may. today, though, it's easy breezy, clear, sunny, nice little warmer, bumped up some inland temps.
7:20 am
these are where we should be though this time of year. not much change tomorrow does look warmer. may 1st and second and everything is pointing towards some significant changes by the weekend. you guys. steve, thank you. a north bay high school is turning to the public to help raise money for new band uniforms. why? the ones they've been using have stood the test of time, but it is well past time for some new ones. it's the first documented case of people likely contracting hiv through cosmetic services. investigators suspect it's a procedure known as vampire facials. there's nothing quite as powerful as the power of good news, like the story of a miracle baby going home from the nicu story is the earliest and tiniest baby to arrive at sutter's alta bates, and now she's weighing nearly 10 pounds. i'm going to remind her every day how much of a fighter she is. stream good news right now on the fox local app. you can count on precision garage doors warranties. as we've been around for over 25 years. we

7:25 am
required a two thirds approval. the california supreme court ruled the tax is a citizen led effort and only needed a simple majority. the 20 year half cent sales tax is expected to generate about $150 million a year. now the tax is being collected and has been sitting in escrow. one of the largest children's service providers in the bay area is getting millions in federal funding. wu yi children's services will receive nearly $10 million from the department of health and human services. wu yi is san francisco's biggest head start provider. the goal is to make the program available to more children so they'll reach kindergarten, ready to learn and succeed? well, several marin county schools will have fewer crossing guards next school year. why the drop? despite parents demanding more? a man suspected of assaulting piedmont's police chief is behind bars this morning. hear from the chief, who says the suspect should have been in jail before the attack. and a quick reminder that you can stream ktvu news on your smart tv. you can watch live newscasts and stories on demand on your vizio

7:30 am
nice little chill in the morning air. a lot of 40s this morning. even some low 40s right now. we're seeing mid 40s. low 50s. it'll be a beautiful day. and temperatures should be pretty close to where they should be this time of year. see all these systems moving in up there. they keep us from warming up too much and they kind of keep that breeze going. so you can call me the breeze, that's for sure. and looks like temperatures will be nice today. a little breezy at times, but 60s and 70s. is it time for traffic? you got that right. and here's yes you do you. here's the man, mister sal castaneda. well, you know freebird. the long version, steve. yes. nine minutes and eight seconds. so if you go to the bay bridge toll plaza, it'll take you two and a half free birds to get onto the bridge. so you do the math, nine times two plus 0.5 of nine. so you see, there you go. so traffic is, you know, or you can play dazed and confused, which is not by lynyrd skynyrd, but you know what i mean. all right, let's take a look at the commute on interstate 880 in oakland. no major issues here. san mateo
7:31 am
bridge is moving along okay, but it's a little crowded from 92 880 to about the middle of that span at 730. let's go right back to the headlines, sal. thank you. law enforcement agencies in the south bay are trying to reassure homeowners in one community after a string of recent home burglaries. ktvu ali rasmus joins us live from los altos with the info they shared at a community meeting. ali yes, that community meeting held at a church here in los altos, had some concerned residents heard from law enforcement officers here in the town of los altos, which contracts with the santa clara county sheriff's office. now santa clara county sheriff's investigators told residents that they believe these home burglaries, many of them are the work of the same organized group. they said that overall, though, the trend of the past couple of years appears to show a decline in residential burglaries, not an increase. so they're still nonetheless adding police patrols and using license
7:32 am
plate readers to track down the people responsible. but according to a city report filed earlier this year, there were 25 home break ins reported from september 2023 to february this year. but that's a 30% drop from the same period the year before. even so, residents feel a sense of unease after hearing about their neighbors homes getting broken into or experiencing that type of crime themselves. at first, she thought the cat had knocked something over. then she heard men's voices and saw lights flashing in the hallway. she yelled. they ran! this has become a very, very sophisticated and organized group of individuals committing these crimes. they definitely know when you're out of town or when they think you should be out of town. santa clara county sheriff's investigators encouraged people at the meeting to make sure their second story doors and windows are locked. they also encourage people to consider things like adding motion detector lights and
7:33 am
surveillance cameras. now, since last year, the town of los altos has set aside hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding to supplement their sheriff's patrols with private security patrols. and those patrols do drive around these residential neighborhoods. in the afternoons , a time when law enforcement officers say it is most likely that some of these homes might be broken into. live in los altos ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. ali. thank you. one man remains in custody. this morning accused of attacking piedmont's police chief. the incident unfolded friday afternoon at the ace hardware on grand avenue. police say 42 year old willie gomer randomly struck a customer inside the store. officers responded and while trying to subdue him, used a taser on gomer. they say gomer then ran to a nearby home and investigators say he attacked the police chief, jeremy bowers, who joined other officers outside the home. the chief suffered minor injuries but says the entire incident could have been avoided. why this person
7:34 am
was even out. he was on parole for a kidnaping, robbery and numerous other charges, and so clearly he was not in a state where he should be out and about in the public, given his, his, his level of criminal violent activity. police say the customer who was attacked inside the hardware store was rushed to the hospital and is expected to recover. firefighters in san francisco responded to three separate car fires in the tenderloin over the weekend. video of the fires was posted on the citizen app. the first fire was reported around 5:15 a.m. saturday on ellis street, followed by a second fire about four minutes later on eddie street. the third fire was reported 24 minutes later on jones street. police say no one was inside the vehicles, no injuries reported and no arrests made. anyone with information, though, is asked to call san francisco police. there will be fewer crossing guards in marin county starting in the fall. last year, the transportation authority of marin increased the number of school crossing guard sites from 96 to 104. now the

agency says it doesn't have the money to continue with that many and is going back to the original 96. in many of these cases, there may be another guard a block down or nearby that, you know, families could then change their route a little bit and still, you know, feel like they're traveling on a route that has a guard. so we definitely will be working with the safe routes side of the program on that, as well as potentially on kind of re-emphasizing the safety education that they do for second graders and fourth graders at schools where there is a guard that is being, a guard location that's being eliminated. the transportation authority says it will have maps available so families can find the crossing guard closest to their route. if the one they've been using is being eliminated, the jfk promenade in san francisco's golden gate park is celebrating four years of serving as a car free space for people to walk, bike and skate this weekend. hundreds of people turned out to mark the anniversary. mayor london breed officially closed the 1.5 mile
7:36 am
stretch of jfk drive at the start of the pandemic. in 2020. the board of supervisors first passed legislation to make it permanent in 2022. this past november, voters passed measure j, which was reaffirmed by this legislation in. we've realized how amazing the space is without cars. if you just look behind me, i mean, you have kids learning how to ride a bike, you have runners, you have adults learning how to ride a bike, art in the middle of the street. it is just sparks joy. since closing to cars, the city says the promenade has seen more than 12 million visits, making it san francisco's most frequented open space. let's get out to your monday morning commute. see where things are heating up by running over to sal in the traffic center. all right. garcia, andre, thank you very much. right now, we do have a bunch of slow traffic at the usual spots. one of them is at the bay bridge, the other day, just a few minutes ago, i said two and a half freiberg freebird song lengths, which is about 23
7:37 am
minutes or so, let's call it let's call it 20 minutes. but if you're at the very end of the line, it's going to take you that long to get onto the bridge. 20 ish minutes. let's say if you are driving on the san mateo bridge, it's about this. it's about as crowded as it would be at this time of the morning. things are improving, but it's going to take you a while to cross that span. some of the other commutes are beginning to fill in. silicon valley commute 85 to 8101. we've had a couple of minor things. peninsula these last few days has been impressing me. the peninsula between, let's say, south city and palo alto on 101 and 280. looking good. 737 speaking of looking good, well, who came in? who came in? how do you do it? are not anymore i don't. all right. thank you sir. we do. look at a system that caused all the tornadic activity yesterday. it came out of the rockies. same system we had friday. and you can see. look at that out in advance of that. the key is you get this cold air aloft, comes out of the rockies,
7:38 am
then the low level jet coming out of the gulf, it's a collision of air masses. so that's why they're getting that. see all these systems coming in the pacific northwest that keeps the breeze going for us. and the high is just too far to the west , really, to give us much more than just a subtle warm up here. and it looks that way probably into the rest of the week. although the low cloud deck getting chewed up by that northerly breeze. but when you get a north northwest breeze along the coast this time of year, what does that do? it generates the upwelling water. temps are extremely cold, around 50 to 51 degrees. that's really cold for the end of april. 40s and 50s on the temps. anybody else going to tell you that? probably not just me, but that's who i am. 40s and 50s on the temps here. real cool this morning. look at stanford camp 44, los altos, 45, atherton, menlo park, 46, woodside, 45, and pacific at 49, one time, half moon bay was also at 49. a little bit of a breeze along that coast. there it is, half moon bay, 15 north to 25. after that, it's more of an onshore breeze. westerly breeze 38, mount shasta 27. truckee to 31 south lake tahoe. mammoth was
7:39 am
27. i think the breeze kicked in. now they're 40. but again, everything is just sliding into the north. but it looks like one of these systems wants to come and clip us. maybe late in the week or on the weekend. now it depends on what forecast model you're looking at. that's the gfs, which is rain city for may, there are others that keep it too far to the north, but the canadian model is in line with the gfs. so i don't cancel any plans yet, but i would expect something to develop this weekend for another return of some windy cool conditions and maybe some rain. until then we have lots of sunshine, just not very warm, but 60s 70s on the temps. might see a slight bump up on may 1st and second wednesday thursday, but boy, i'll tell you it comes right back down going into the weekend . thank you steve. student loan borrowers have one more day to apply for a direct consolidation loan. the relief program combines federal student loans into one new direct loan with a fixed interest rate. all federal loans are eligible for this consolidation program, and combining loans can maximize a potential forgiveness amount. the education department also

7:50 am
bridge. interstate 80 is beginning to slow down a little bit, and on the san mateo bridge, it's going to be a little busy today. but things are improving. and that's good because you can see that, right here, we still have some slow traffic as you drive through, just making sure we don't have. it's kind of unusual because some of the crashes have fallen off. we don't have a lot of new crashes, which is just pretty good sometimes. i don't trust that, though. i just have to double check. we're on a hunt for a good forecast. here's steve paulson, one of my favorite songs they do on the hunt. it's a good one that i mean, i just thrown on the, you know, the whatever the compilation that the spotify serves you. and i just kind of like sit there and listen to it easily. thank you sir, san francisco, what about it, man? you've been stuck at 60 or 62 for four days. i went 63 today. the low so far has been 51w average 6350. so you're right there. the record is not that long ago. 90 on the high side
7:51 am
1996 and 44 2002 sunset almost 8:00. now we're getting closer. one reason why it's been cool in the city. look at that water temp 50 degrees san francisco. boy, that is darn cold. and nobody else is really that warm until you get down to southern monterey. even the monterey bay aquarium is 51 point ray's 52. that's a really cold water for the end here of april, and if any temps warm up inland, fog will not be far away. today though, we're good to go in between systems. a lot of systems keep plowing into the pacific northwest. that keeps our breeze going. also, a little northerly breeze on the coast generates that upwelling, which is generated the colder ocean temps here. 46. boulder creek 48. in the oakland hills, west wind mount veeder's 49. and these are cool temps bouncing off the 40s here. now we're seeing more 50s, but we did have some low 40s for a few this morning, 40s, mid 40s. san martin, hollister 46, santa cruz finally 50, but upper 40s even around campbell, saratoga and cupertino. a little bit of a
7:52 am
breeze. northwest santa rosa, northwest novato and west southwest concord. fairfield so we'll still have a breezy day. 30s now. there were 20, now 30s up in the mountains. palm springs at 70, 58, 59, los angeles, san diego, arcadia made it down to 43. it's cool for the coast up there. not much going on. quiet here, maybe a little bump up. wednesday. thursday it doesn't look like much forecast models are really hinting at a big change for the weekend here. there was trying to bring rain in. even if it does rain, it's going to be a cool and windy pattern. i think as we head towards the first weekend in may here today. easy breezy, sunny. there'll be a little breeze there. 60s 70s on the temps. these are nice. i might have to scale back this 80. everything is pointing in that. not maybe not happening, but we'll leave it in there for now. on thursday and then some significant changes by the weekend. steve, thank you. for the first time in a long time, you can now rent roller skates at golden gate park on weekends, as african parks partnered up with the church of eight wheels to make the rentals available at the skating place. it's an area on the jfk promenade near sixth avenue, set aside for roller

skating. a man known as the godfather of skate has long been showing off his skills on weekend nights there, david miles junior says he hopes the change means more people will join in. there are not many places where you can just show up, be a part of something and feel it. you know in your bones and your nerves. and here in golden gate park, when you sit along the hillside and watch the skaters skating, you feel like you're a part of it and we even bring you into it so that you can dance and that you can feel it. you can. you don't necessarily have to skate, but the energy is so exciting and so unique. it really is worth going. i mean, if you haven't seen it, you should. it costs $12 an hour to rent roller skates. either. the four kind traditional ones that we grew up with or the inline skates for children. adult rentals are $20 for the first hour. the project is a six month trial. ford's bluecruise hands free system is under investigation after two recent fatal crashes. the plan by federal safety regulators to prevent similar incidents. then what some called the nerd prom

here on stage with president biden tonight, mostly to see if i could figure out where obama was pulling the strings from. i have to admit, it's not easy following president biden. i mean, it's not always easy following what he's saying. it appears the president took the jokes in stride, posting, quote, colin, you did a #### of a job hosting this year's white house correspondents dinner. i still think charlotte or scarlett rather has you beat for funniest in the family, but last night i'll bet you made her proud. the 67th annual san francisco international film festival wrapped up this weekend. there were plenty of big debuts at the festival this year, including seven from bay area filmmakers. organizers say this is the longest running film fest in the u.s. this year's international selection of films represented more than 40 countries. i love that you can just walk in and see something from a whole nother world. i like that it has such an amazing history. the film fest's main showcase was reduced from 11 to 5 days due to

a lack of venues. despite the change, there was a lot of buzz surrounding the festival's lineup. a rare artifact from the titanic sold for a record breaking price this weekend. a gold pocket watch once owned by businessman went for nearly $1.5 million at an auction in england . experts had predicted that this watch would fetch about $200,000, not 1.5 million. the auction house says the sale of the timepiece was part of several titanic artifacts up for auction on saturday. when i look at these kids, i fear for i fear for their safety, and i hope that they will be allowed to exercise their first amendment. students at stanford, still protesting on the campus despite being ordered by administrators to leave. we'll tell you why. student organizers say they've made progress in their push to force the university to divest from israel and across california. the students who are demanding their universities cut financial ties with companies supporting israel may also be
8:00 am
clashing with the california law. the bill that may block some universities from acting on the demands for divestment and part of highway one and big sur, has finally reopened after storm damage forced it to close. we'll tell you specific times you can drive through that scenic route from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. well, good morning to you and welcome to mornings on two at 8:00 live picture looking at downtown san francisco. it looks good from here and probably where you are as well as we begin a brand new day. we thank you for joining us. i'm dave clark. good morning . i'm gasia mikaelian. let's get out the door steve paulson, how is the month of april wrapping up, kind of quiet. cool breezy. nice, may's looking like a continuation based on everything we're seeing here, we have clear skies. there's only a teeny bit of fog down towards santa cruz. monterey most of it has
8:01 am
disappeared. we are looking at 50s on the temps. had a lot of 40s this morning. we're starting to slowly bounce off of those. not much in the way of any low cloud deck, just a teeny bit out there. most of it's offshore getting chewed up, but boy, those water temps are cold and systems move in to the north, so that's keeping that breeze so call me the breeze, that's for sure. although it will be sunny side up today for all. lots of sunshine, nice temperatures, 60s to 70s. well, when it comes to the morning traffic, i ain't the one causing problems. so let's find out who is. it's not me, steve. i'm a simple man, you know. you are a simple man. yes, sir, i know that. all right. good morning everyone. it's that other guy who drives terribly for whatever reason. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza right now. and the traffic is slow. been a little bit slow traffic, but things are improving. and if you're driving on interstate 880 northbound, that traffic is moving along. okay san mateo bridge. all of a sudden we started getting really crowded. and i am searching around to see
8:02 am
what's going on. i don't see anything yet, but it may be new. we'll let you know. coming up soon. 801 let's go back to the desk. okay, sal. thank you. well, a protest on stanford university's campus goes on. despite school administrators telling students what they're doing is against student policy. and it could lead to consequences. ktvu james torres is in palo alto now to tell us why these protesters say they're not taking those threats seriously. good morning. james dave, good morning to you. all these dozens of tents you see behind me, they've been here since about thursday afternoon. students here tell me that they think the university has no plans to shut them down. in fact, they say they're feeling more empowered each day since thursday because of the support they have received. most notably, they tell me all comes from a spring student body election. a third of the entire student body population voted, and that's typically what you do for class presidents, class officers, initiatives or grants.
8:03 am
but one initiative on that ballot was to call for the university to divest funds into companies accused of contributing to israeli violence in gaza. they specifically name lockheed martin, chevron and hewlett packard. of the students who voted, they report, about 70% agreed to pass that initiative. one student representative we spoke to earlier this morning, he represents those protesting, he says, because of that support, they don't plan to back down to stanford's threats. they threaten us with officer community standards violations, threaten us with academic discipline actions. but honestly, they're not. it doesn't feel as if they're trying to actually maybe it does feel like they're trying to shut us down, but they're scared to do anything because they know that we're going to fight back because they know we have so much support from the local community, from students on campus, that if they did try anything, it would honestly end poorly for them. so we have reached out to stanford university this morning. still no word from them, but ktvu did
8:04 am
reach out to the company's aimed at the by these protesters. a spokesperson from lockheed martin issuing a statement saying in part, we respect the right to peaceful protest and we continue to stand ready to support the us government and allies to deliver strategic deterrence and security solutions. we know the school administration told these students they're violating its protest policies because of those overnight overnight encampments. those are not allowed. the school also asked these demonstrations, demonstrations to be clear, specifically those tents to be cleared by friday night or else they would face consequences in the form of community standards or student code of conduct violations. i know these students have had some encounters with some police officers, not at all in an intense way, like we've seen in places, other places throughout the country here, but more so officers just keeping an eye on what they are doing here. but those students say nothing has been a problem. so far. we're live this morning from stanford university. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. okay james
8:05 am
thank you. time is 804 this morning. police patrols are increasing on the ucla campus after a weekend of tense and sometimes violent protests. he was about to go. going down, there's no doubt. now there were several fights on the campus yesterday between pro-palestinian demonstrators and pro-israel counter-protesters. the violence came during a campus demonstration that involved thousands of protesters, many of them ucla students. meantime, at usc, police in riot gear went back to the campus over the weekend after pro-palestinian demonstrators came back with tents. they reestablished their encampment just days after police made 93 arrests last week , usc canceled its main commencement ceremony because of safety concerns. the campus of cal poly humboldt is now closed for the rest of the semester due to pro-palestinian protests,
8:06 am

8:08 am
. pleasanton police say they think speed may have been a factor in the crash. our time now. 807a proposed rent hike at san francisco's marina small craft harbor has some boat owners now looking for another place to dock. city officials say the public harbor cost more to run than it makes to get there. taking in, so they're considering a new 31% bump in the fees paid by the remaining boaters. as boat owners are arguing, that proposal is both drastic and it's unfair. a board of supervisors committee is expected to debate this proposal on wednesday. happening today, you can drive in and out of big sur along a part of highway one that had been closed down because of storm damage, caltrans will be allowing one hour twice daily convoys through the rocky creek slip out. the convoys will run between 7 to 8 a.m. and then again at 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. every day. the morning

8:11 am
dedicated his life to finding food and shelter to those left behind by society. and i met cecil when he was talking about building homes for people. and so the words that stick with me are affordable housing and hope, and the cecil williams house and the rest of it, that's the legacy is let's get people off the streets and into housing. reverend williams died this month at the age of 94. a celebration of his life is planned at glide for sunday, may 12th. our time is now 811, one south bay neighborhood on alert. after a recent spike in home burglaries. local officials are doing about it after the community came together, speaking out about their concerns. and i kept hearing all these stories about teens, like, just like me, who were overdosing a high schooler, raising awareness about the deadly effects of fentanyl among young people, in particular, how he's making a difference by educating his fellow students and their parents about fentanyl poisoning. monday from ncis

8:30 am
the direction that we're going when it comes to public safety. crime is down by 30. public safety a top concern for people who live, work and play in the city of oakland. what the chief of violence prevention there says is working and what still needs to be done to bring peace of mind and safety to oaklanders from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning i'm dave clark. it's monday morning. it's april 29th and steve so far the weather doesn't appear to be too bad. no not at all, mr. clarke. thank you sir. it's a mainly clear out there. there's not much in the way of any low clouds unless you're, well, north or south, and even that is pretty patchy. everything is gone out offshore here, so we'll have lots of sunshine today. but systems in the pacific northwest, just keep that machine of wind rolling right along so you can call me the breeze. that's what we have here because it'll be nice. it'll be sunny. maybe a smidge warmer, but we still get that westerly northwesterly breeze which keeps
8:31 am
temperatures in the 60s and 70s. sal is here 830 on a monday, and the traffic is, well, it's getting better. steve, on a monday. i know a little bit about this because i've seen it over the last, i don't know, month or two, maybe three mondays. the bay bridge toll plaza commute gets better, right before nine. and if you're driving, let's say after nine, it should be a lot better than it was. you can see traffic is still a little bit busy here. now, if you are driving on 880 northbound, you can see that traffic is a little bit busy. no problems on highway 4 or 680 san mateo bridge is moderately heavy. 831 let's get back to the headlines. three law enforcement agencies in the south bay are working to inform and reassure homeowners in one community. following a recent string of home burglaries, santa clara county sheriff's investigators told residents of los altos hills, an organized group of thieves is likely behind a string of break ins. they're adding patrols and using license
8:32 am
plate readers to track them down. officials say. despite the heightened concern, there has actually been a downward trend in the number of residential burglaries, according to a city report, there were 25 home break ins reported from september to february this year, a 30% drop from the same time period the year before. those numbers, though, did little to soothe residents. as always turned on the tv very loud and the lights on inside and outside the house. when we left, none of that mattered. this has become a very, very sophisticated, organized group of individuals committing these crimes. they definitely know when you're out of town or when they think you should be out of town. in santa clara county, sheriff's investigators encouraged people to secure their doors and windows on upper floors and to add motion detector lights and surveillance cameras. since last year, the town of los altos hills has set aside hundreds of thousands of dollars to supplement the sheriff's patrol with private security to patrol neighborhoods in the middle of the afternoon, a time law
8:33 am
enforcement says home burglaries are most likely to happen because thieves assume or observe that most people are away at work. one man remains in custody this morning accused of attacking piedmont's police chief. the incident unfolded on friday afternoon at the ace hardware store on grand avenue. police say 42 year-old willie gomer randomly struck a customer inside the store. officers responded and while trying to subdue him, used a taser on gomer. they say gomer then ran to a nearby home and investigators say he attacked the police chief, jeremy bowers, who joined other officers outside the home. the chief suffered minor injuries. he says the entire incident could and should have been avoided. why this person was even out. he was on parole for kidnaping, robbery and numerous other charges and so clearly he was not in a state where he should be out and about in the public, given his his his level of criminal violent activity. police say the customer who was attacked inside the hardware store was rushed to a hospital and is expected to recover. our time is now 833.
8:34 am
over the weekend, our special program in the state of the town took a deep dive into oakland, its issues, its progress and its future. we spoke to doctor holly joshi, the chief of oakland's department of violence prevention, about the strategies to reduce the crime rate, the department of violence prevention. our role is to create a safer oakland by preventing group and gun violence. and so you're absolutely right. we take a public health approach. the ceasefire model that we've re-implemented is a perfect match for the department of violence prevention. as you know, we implemented it very well from 2012 to 2019 and experienced significant reductions in shootings and homicides and crime, and that was largely attributable to the city's successful implementation of a focused deterrence model. so in terms of what is working well, this past four months, since i've taken the chief of department of violence
8:35 am
prevention role, is that we have focused pretty much exclusively on the implementation of a focused deterrence approach, otherwise known as ceasefire and crime is trending down for people who are frustrated or don't feel safe in this community and may not see the work that you all are doing behind the scenes. what is your message to them? from the department of violence prevention and the city broadly, i can say that i'm extremely confident in the direction that we're going when it comes to public safety. crime is down by 30, and we're not going to stop there. we're going to continue to drive violent crime down in the city and holding ourselves and one another accountable to not only the numbers, but also how residents are feeling. that's a really important measurement as well, is, yes, the statistics. and we need to keep our eye on that and we need to be continuously hearing from our community, from our business owners, from our residents about
8:36 am
how oakland is actually feeling. and so that's what we'll be focused on this year. and the years to come. the narrative will follow our results. and again, we're trending in the right direction. we're we're not going to stop. we're going to continue with our foot on the gas to reduce crime in the city. now you can see our entire program, the state of the town on the fox local app at any time . time now is 836. california is honoring its arab american residents. this weekend, the governor issued a proclamation declaring april as arab american heritage month. california is home to the largest arab american population in the country, with thriving communities in the bay area, los angeles san diego governor newsom said the state is proud and grateful for the immeasurable contributions arab americans have made to our state. our time is now. 836 a proposal to allow non-citizens to vote in board elections at the city college of san francisco just cleared a major hurdle, supporters of the proposal say if it passed, it
8:37 am
would give their foreign born students a stronger voice on campus. while critics say the proposal would not solve the school's problems, the college's board of trustees unanimously approved that proposal. now it's in the hands of the city's board of supervisors for a final say on this matter. well, doctors, hospitals and health insurance companies in california will be limited to annual price increases of just 3% beginning in 2029. that's under a new rule that state regulators approved. it's the latest attempt to bring down the soaring costs of medical care. recent studies have shown the money that californians spend on health care every year has climbed more than 5% a year over the past 20 years. after four years of debate, the state's highest court upheld a half cent alameda county sales tax measure that funds child care and pediatric services for low income families. measure c passed back in 2020 with 64% of the vote, was then challenged by the
8:38 am
county's taxpayers association, which said it required a two thirds approval. california supreme court ruled that tax is a citizen led effort and only needed a simple majority. the 20 year half cent sales tax is expected to generate about $150 million a year. the tax is already being collected and has been sitting in escrow. one of the largest children's service providers in the bay area is getting millions in federal funding. wu yi children's services will receive nearly $10 million from the department of health and human services. wu yi. san francisco's biggest head start provider. the goal is to make the program available to more children so they'll reach kindergarten ready to learn and succeed. our time is 838. one state political leader is supporting san francisco mayor's legislation that would waive the fees for certain events. on friday, mayor london breed introduced two new bills. one would waive city fees for outdoor community events, making them less expensive for organizers. the other would simplify health permits for food vendors. at some of those events
8:39 am
. all right. let's talk about this changing weather. 838 steve, one would like to think we could plan that, say, a birthday party in early may and not need those canopies, but that might not be the case. i may not be the case right now. it does look windy and cooler. maybe some rain, maybe, depending on which forecast model verifies here would not surprise me though. the weekend was one of wind and over the weekend we had some pretty good gusts here that were rocking and rolling. had gusts 40mph plus for a few here. maybe you were one of those. ocean beach 47, oakland airport 46. sfo is 44. hayward was 40. i know around vallejo. american canyon was 38 to 40. petaluma napa, redwood city, san jose all in their 30 plus. still a decent breeze out of the northwest mountain, middle peak was on the north side of mount tamalpais. was up to 39 earlier. has come down a little bit, but almost everyone in with a west or a northwest breeze and that will continue. santa rosa gusting 26 novato, 17 napa airport, northwest fairfield and also concord with
8:40 am
a westerly breeze. san francisco's high temp has been cool and held down by that breeze as well. coming in off the ocean there 60, 60, 62, 62 on the highs. the last four days. i went 63 today and that might be a soft 63, if you will. the buoy temps are incredibly cold. san francisco buoy is 50 degrees point reyes point arena at 52, and the monterey bay aquarium buoy is a brisk 51. so really nothing left to support the low clouds and fog. but if we get a little bit of a bump up in those inland temps, i guarantee it'll be back fast. we're caught in between systems, one in the middle of the country, but these other systems just keep moving in in the pacific northwest, keeping a really active pattern for them that keeps the wind going. for us. these systems are north, but it ushers in that breezy pattern, mainly 50s on the temps here, there's just not a lot of change here going forward. the bigger change might be towards friday and then into the weekend. we'll see a lot of the couple of the forecast models keep the low up in oregon. the other two drop it right into northern california, which would
8:41 am
