5:00 pm
behind me. i want to move out of the way so you can see what's going on. as you can tell, they have set up different sorts of tents kind of out front, but also overtaken this building, this is the anna head complex here on uc berkeley's campus. they've been out here for a couple of hours. we've heard them cleaning up broken glass inside of that building. i talked to berkeley police. they estimate anywhere from 10 to 20 people may be inside of that building, which actually caught on fire years ago. the condition inside that building not great. according to them. they also have some couches set up out front here. and then we've also seen a number of times there's a skylight up on the roof, maybe a little hard to tell, covered by the tree in front of this house. but we've seen a number of people pop out of that skylight at times sitting on that roof. it looks to be about a three story building. and then when we did get on scene here to i want to mention we had different protesters come up and block our camera's lens with tarps. they came up and asked us to not record. of course, we are on
5:01 pm
public property on a public sidewalk, so we are able to record here now again, in a statement, though, i do want to get to the statement i almost forgot about uc berkeley said that they are considering this an active crime scene here at the anna head complex. they said today is the 55th anniversary of people's park in action. was first announced on platforms controlled by people's park activists. they are vandalizing an unsafe, boarded up, fire damaged building next to people's park. we have confirmed that the coalition with whom we reached out reached an understanding with yesterday, did not initiate today's actions. now, one other thing i do want to mention is when we got on the scene here, we saw probably 4 or 5 chp cars with their sirens on screaming up this block. about 10 or 15 minutes after that happened, another round screaming up this block. i asked uc berkeley if they are aware that police would be taking any action against the people inside or out front of this building. they say they would not share that information . mike and julie, we will send
5:02 pm
it back to you guys in studio. >> okay. and just to reiterate, bailey, this is a different group than the protesters who had set up encampments near sproul plaza. this group that's taking over this vacant building today near campus. do you see any police presence you mentioned you saw chp cars, but right outside, do you see any police officers or any activity? right there, monitoring or police? just staying back? >> yeah. we will actually justin here, my photog will whip this camera around. you can see there's a couple police officers. there are some private security. it's the same private security. that's if you've been in the berkeley area. there's surround people's park all hours of the day. so we see some of those private security guards out here as well as just a couple uc berkeley police. and then actually right before we came on the air, we saw a couple uc berkeley police and berkeley police drive by as well. so you can tell that they are certainly monitoring the scene out here. and of course, you can hear there's been a number of people driving by honking as well, showing their support for these protesters. >> all right. an active scene
5:03 pm
there in berkeley. we will continue to monitor what happens. bailey. thank you. >> student protesters at san francisco state university reached an agreement with the school's president and are now beginning to dismantle their encampment. ktvu christien kafton live tonight at sf state and christian student leaders. though they're not done here. they're telling you they want more from the school in the days and the weeks ahead. >> yeah, that's exactly what they're telling me, mike. but first, take a look around me. you can see what we've talked about. as you said, they're starting the work of dismantling this encampment. here you can see some of the bare patches in the grass where the tents have been for the last two weeks. here, student organizers tell me that the talks, though, are ongoing with the university president and say that the concessions are an important first step. >> our collaboration extended beyond our campus, encompassing other universities, community groups and our steadfast faculty who stood by us from the beginning. >> student organizers who've camped on the san francisco state university campus for two weeks say they've reached an agreement with the university's president. addressing three of the organizers for demands.
5:04 pm
protesters had been calling for the university to disclose the school's investment portfolio, divest from companies that fund war or support israel, and clarity on upcoming legislation that they say would curtail their rights to protest on campus. the only demand that we haven't currently met is declared declaring it a genocide, calling it what it is, which is still very important and something that we're going to continue to work on through the summer and into the fall. in a statement, san francisco state's president said there have been times when student activism has pushed for positive institutional change, and she said this is one of those times. the president saying in part, quote, students for gaza has pushed us to reflect on and commit to working with the sf state foundation to review and draft a revision to our existing environmental, social and governance investment policy statement. we will support the addition of a human rights based investment strategy, including divesting from direct investments in weapons manufacturers. the school is also pledged to create a website to clearly lay out the school's investment strategies and
5:05 pm
outline her concerns about any legislation that students say would abridge their rights to protest student organizers say this is just the beginning. >> so what we're working towards now that we've gotten this first, really important first step here at our campus, is organizing with students at all of the different csus to come together, go to the board of trustees meeting and make that change on a more systemic level. yeah, yeah. >> that's so sad. yeah. >> as we showed you before student organizer is already starting to dismantle the encampment here. they say that they're ending the day and night encampment on campus, but they say that they will be keeping a daytime presence here with some tents in the area to keep interested parties. they say informed. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, christian, thank you for that. in southern california right now, large numbers of law enforcement are staging on the uc irvine campus, where student protesters have refused to leave their gaza solidarity encampment. this is a live picture now from the uc
5:06 pm
irvine campus. you can see officers moving pallets there and throwing them into the grassy area. protesters on that campus, like others demanding that the university divest from companies with ties to israel and weapon manufacturers. again, it does appear that officers are starting to partially take down this encampment will continue to monitor the situation. if we get more information, of course we will bring it to you. by the way, tomorrow classes will be remote at uc irvine. >> okay, new at five. a stolen truck is tracked to oakland. the owner now calling out police after getting it back. >> the broken window, the alignment's off on the. i believe it's the rear tires. so they must hit a curb or something. >> a redwood city man says thieves stole and damaged his pickup tru in redwood city. he tracked it to oakland. then he went to the scene and says he waited for hours for police to show up. >> ktvu crime reporter henry lee live tonight at the redwood city police department with more on
5:07 pm
the story. henry >> yeah. the victim tells me redwood city police were responsive in every way, but that he spent hours in that east oakland neighborhood asking oakland police for help as he eyeballed his own stolen car. but no officer ever got there while he was there. >> i feel like the criminal justice system is failing in california, and it's this is a symptom of it. >> this auto theft victim is frustrated. video shows a dodge charger with three people inside pulling up to his redwood city home. at about two wednesday morning. they made a beeline to his custom made dodge ram pickup truck in the driveway. one guy drives away in his truck, maneuvering around the tesla that was meant to be a barrier. the victim, who doesn't want his name used, said he tracked a stolen truck to this cul de sac near 99th and plymouth in east oakland, and went there himself at 3:45 a.m, the same dodge charger that was in front of my house was parked across the street facing that car. >> they covered my vehicle with like a tarp, but they could only cover the front half of it so i could see the back of my truck and i knew it was my truck.
5:08 pm
>> he called oakland police several times, but was told no officers were available to respond. >> i'm telling them i could see the truck. i have a tracker. i can remote start it. i can turn the lights and they're saying too busy, don't care. >> he noticed people on the street looking at him and decided to head back to redwood city. there was guys coming out of the street and there were. >> it was like i could kind of tell it was about to get tense. >> he decided to call ktvu at about seven in the morning. we called oakland police and that seemed to speed things up. an hour later he got a call from redwood city police saying that oakland police had towed his car. the marine corps veteran says he never expected to be treated this way by a law enforcement. >> it wasn't until the news got involved and they're kicked into high gear. >> we were there as he went to the tow yard and picked up his truck. it wasn't all good news. >> i gave up like this many years of my life. for what? like that's the ultimate feeling. like, what was this all for? because i come back home, my truck gets stolen and they're going to do nothing about it. >> two weeks ago, he believes the same dodge charger had been casing his home that prompted
5:09 pm
him to install security cameras and use the tesla as a buffer. we spotted that same charger in east oakland on wednesday afternoon. the lineman off, and there they tore apart the whole driver's side, trying to look for the tracker. now he fears the thieves might come back a third time. >> only a matter of time till it happens again. and where is it going to be found next? what are they going to do? how long it's going to take for them to respond? >> so far, no word of any arrests, and the victim tells me he's probably going to install a kill switch so that his truck isn't taken again. live in redwood city. henry lee ktvu, fox two news, and any specific information from opd tonight about their specific response initially to that call. yeah, i did ask them about, hey, do you recommend that victims don't go to the scene and, you know, track their ipad or iphone or car? no word on that. also they all all they're saying is that the investigation is continuing. all right. >> henry lee live tonight in redwood city. henry. thank you. well voters in alameda county will decide this fall whether to recall district attorney pamela price. >> the board of supervisors voted late last night to hold the recall election at the same time as the general election on

5:21 pm
little warmer, some a little cooler than yesterday, some above average, some below average. so a little chart here shows you the average temperature for this time of year 74. in santa rosa and santa rosa was four degrees cooler at 7064. in san francisco they were four degrees cooler at 60. and then you go over to livermore, they're up a good six degrees. so temperatures kind of just depending all over the map. we've got a lot of fog along the coast, big deep marine layer that's just fluctuating left and right or well up and down. and that's what's happening. so tonight it goes up again. right. it's kind of down a little bit today but didn't go down as much as yesterday. so it creeps up. it gets thick tonight. the fog does a very aggressive inland push. and then as we get into friday and saturday that's when the real cooling occurs. and we are going to see a significant inland push of fog, especially on friday into saturday, which will lead to these cooler or milder temperatures right into the bay area weekend. so instead of 80s, we're going to be talking about upper 60s to mid 70s in parts of the bay area. maybe some of the warmer spots
5:22 pm
will make it to upper 70s, and then the central valley. those temperatures even in sacramento will be in the low 80s. so a nice looking week ahead, but just sort of so ho hum, not a lot going on. if you look at the microclimates, which we like to do this time of year because they come into play, you can see out in the afternoon, mid 60s across the berkeley, out by the berkeley marina, and then you're over the hill, you're in the mid 70s. then by the time you get out to livermore valley, mount diablo in those areas, you're just touching on 81, 82 degrees. that's out towards antioch. and out towards pittsburgh. so it's a good forecast. it's just not a lot of fluctuation or change. and when i come back, we'll we'll go looking for change. and the five day forecast after a decade, the final phase of sfo's harvey milk terminal will open june the 11th, a fully modernized and ready for the future. >> and coming up new at six. our coverage of asian american and pacific islander month continues with a visit to napa. the story of an asian american winemaker who is making inroads in the wine industry

irvine, where a large number of law enforcement deputies and officers are clearing out a pro-palestinian encampment after people there refused to leave. there were reports that protesters actually took over a campus building. you can see here in this live picture, deputies outside that building, walking around down below, you can see the encampment in the number of people there. according to our sister station in los angeles, law enforcement has officially declared an unlawful assembly, which means they could probably start making arrests. we don't have any word right now if anyone has been taken into custody. protesters there at irvine, like others across the country, demanding that the university divest from companies with ties to israel. we do know classes at irvine
5:32 pm
were canceled today due to the situation. students and staff also have been asked to go remote. starting tomorrow, we will continue to monitor the situation at uc irvine and of course bring you the latest as we get it into our newsroom. >> all right, and more developing news right now. this time it's happening in berkeley. protesters have taken over a vacant building owned by uc berkeley near campus. this comes one day after the pro-palestinian tent camp at uc berkeley broke up. the school has confirmed to ktvu that today's protest is not linked to that encampment. also, we want to let you know police are monitoring this developing situation as we will continue to do. if we get any new information, we will bring it to you. more top stories tonight at 530. not only is it an eyesore, but it's also a health and environmental risk. we're talking about homeless encampments along south bay waterways, and now the largest water provider in the south bay, wants an ordinance passed banning unhoused encampments
5:33 pm
along the waterways. >> ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary joins us live from san jose city hall with more details on this proposal. jesse, good evening to you, mike. >> julie, good evening to you. and if passed out of committee and then by the full council ordinance 24 would create water resource protection zones. unhoused residents found within those zones will be subject to fines and jail time. this for people who say they feel stuck by circumstance. ruben salas fight to find a place he can call his own is facing a possible inflection point. his current tent in this unhoused encampment near willow and leland streets in south central san jose, could soon be deemed illegal. >> there's a lot of places to go. we're i pretty much, i'll have to look for a place. >> officials with valley water saying they're pushing for a new city ordinance banning such encampments along the 295 miles of waterway under the district's
5:34 pm
control. >> this is really a matter of valley water doing what we have to do to protect the environment, mark bielski says. >> encampments such as this near the guadalupe river send garbage and contaminants into the water forces them to clear 1300 tons of contaminants. it also has a negative impact on life for nearby residents. >> if you're coming to look at one of our apartments and you get off the freeway, you drive by this scene here. i mean, you know, would you be that much? would you be more interested or less interested? >> the district's proposed ordinance 24 would establish protection zones along the waterways under its control. it would ban encampments, the dumping of trash, and establish penalties, $500 in fines and up to 30 days jail time for violators who return and reestablish encampments. >> it as our partners at valley water, push policies and approaches that clear the waterways and protect our watershed. there is a real risk
5:35 pm
of their efforts sending hundreds of homeless individuals out into the neighborhoods without a plan. >> we really get them into housing and get supportive services to wrap around them. that would be wonderful. i'd like to see the amount that that's going to cost. >> san jose mayor matt mehan has made helping the unhoused a central point in his upcoming budget message, with need outpacing housing stock and the legal landscape in peril of changing, residents such as ruben salas say they feel more pressure to be prepared to move sooner, not later. >> i usually don't take nothing. i just take my clothes. i leave my tent behind. i just take what i got on. >> unhoused residents are finding fewer places to live as the city is already removing encampments in favor of interim housing, advocates say long term permanent housing is the only thing that will work. the water proposal will go before the city's environmental creek cleanup committee. this friday would have to pass that committee, then pass the full council before it can come
5:36 pm
along. we're live outside san jose city hall this evening. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. mike julie back up to you. >> all right, jesse, thank you. >> new numbers are now giving us a sense of how many people are experiencing homelessness in alameda county. officials released the results today of a one day point in time count from january, which found overall, the number of homeless in alameda county dropped by 3% over the past two years. the results broken down by city a little bit more mixed here. oakland's homeless population reportedly grew by 9% since 2022, the largest jump in the county, whereas the city of berkeley saw the biggest drop at 21. >> the planning commission in half moon bay has approved a new housing development for senior farm workers. dozens of people attended last night's planning commission meeting, which went well past midnight. the proposal to build a 40 unit, low income apartment complex for senior farm workers in downtown half moon bay was prompted by last year's mass shooting at a mushroom farm, exposing the need for better housing. still, the
5:37 pm

5:52 pm
marine layer is getting deeper. it's getting shallower. that's the plan all week. so it gets deeper tonight and fog goes inland gets shallower in the afternoon. fog goes away. get used to it. it's lasting really right through friday and saturday and mostly on friday. we're going to see a huge push of fog into these inland bay valleys. this is how the microclimate set up tomorrow bears looking at again. only because you get the we haven't had microclimates really when we always have them but they don't really show up until you get to this time of year. this sun angle and so on. so as we're looking at temperatures tomorrow , they could reach into the low 80s inland. don't see fog here, but there is fog out at the coast. it's a pretty deep marine layer. got up over a couple thousand feet last night. it'll get up over a couple thousand feet tonight, which i always say. these coastal hills average about 1000ft, maybe a little higher. but if you get up to 2000ft, that means that fog is just coming in over the top, unabated, unabated. so temperatures tomorrow in the morning will be cool. there's the fog footprint for tomorrow morning. that is aggressive. it's going to be even more aggressive. fog footprint as we go into friday morning. so
5:53 pm
there's the microclimates as well. you can see them set up 80 in fairfield, 85 in brentwood livermore 78. so the sea breeze penetrating inland. fog forecast for tomorrow morning. and then it comes back tomorrow night pretty quick. and then look at friday morning. poof. that bad boy just loads up. that's because there's a low up here. kind of chews up the fog. so it's a weaker system. it's not the high though. so the low comes in stretches this thing out maybe 2500ft. and then sometimes it stretches out enough. the fog just goes away. right. it just turns into cool air. if you can stretch it up over 3000ft or so. so and there's friday afternoon and evening and then a little bit of fog on saturday morning. so what's it all mean? well, i just kind of showed you that model. we're looking at the day to days as we get towards the weekend. and by the weekend that fog is so aggressively pushing inland that daytime highs will no longer look like these. these are the forecast highs for tomorrow. daytime highs on friday into saturday will they'll look more like 60s and 70s in probably a good 4 or 5
5:54 pm
degrees. so these are subtle changes. but it's changed nonetheless. there's a five day forecast and you can see that you've got temperatures on saturday and sunday that are you know those are the hot spots. right. and then you might find an 80 if you work really hard. but for the most part, we're going to be in the upper 70s right through the weekend. nice weekend, foggy conditions, stay at the coast all weekend long. >> all right bill, thank you. happening now i want to take you back. a crackdown on pro-palestinian encampment at uc irvine. protesters there reportedly have taken over a campus building, and right now they are refusing to leave. these are live pictures from the campus. chp officers have been called in to clear out that site. we will have the very latest on this developing story coming up tonight at six. >> also at six more bay area ties to the war in gaza. a palestinian american family in san francisco expressing their heartbreak as the war drags on. >> it's almost like we haven't really had time to fully grieve because we're still kind of trying to explain to people what's going on and trying to
