its act together here. 40s and 50s on the temps, some low class, especially on the san mateo coast down to santa cruz. again, they are that socked in city here. let me zoom in a little bit for you. there you go. but overall, we are looking for another nice day inland. although it does look like a little bit more in the way of some low clouds. will start to make an appearance here. 60, 70s and 80s. all right. sal's here. i didn't see anything except cones and cones and cones. >> yeah, if you drove near the carquinez bridge, steve, there were definitely cones. there was also a car fire near there in the eastbound direction. so we have a little slow traffic as they clear that eastbound 80 at highway four is where the car fire was. that's where the construction began on westbound 80. looks pretty good. let's take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. that looks very nice. there have been no major issues in the commute direction right now. as we look at interstate 880. so it is wide open for you just be careful. sometimes people get going kind of fast, but for the most part we're off to a nice start. 401

let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, downtown san jose now has its first retail cannabis shop. it opened this month after city regulations were amended to allow cannabis stores, mainly in industrial areas. >> ktvu lamonica peters spoke with employees about how they hope the new shop will contribute to the downtown scene, with its new location on east santa clara street, purple lotus is now the first retail cannabis shop operating in downtown san jose. >> well, it's better because it's super great because there's like the busses are right here and the light rail. and so even if you don't have a car, it's super easy to get to sales. >> floor manager david rios says although they have a delivery service, being centrally located is not only good for business but good for customer service. >> no more hopping in your car to drive 15 minutes away. we, we're just a walk away from from a purchase, so that's it's pretty cool. >> last year, the city of san

jose eased regulations that prohibited dispensaries from operating within 1000ft of schools, daycares and community spaces. now the limit is 500ft, allowing cannabis shops to expand outside of san jose's industrial areas. >> a lot of people in the tech industry living in this area have been coming down. a lot of people don't have cars who live here, so they've been super grateful for it. >> purple lotus says dispensaries have to pay a $140,000 license fee, a 10% marijuana business tax and a $50 batch fee for each employee. cannabis shops must also have surveillance cameras and 24 hour security. >> we have panic buttons throughout just in case anything goes down. we have an armed guard, 24 hours. >> the city is expected to collect more than $15 million in tax revenue from cannabis businesses this fiscal year. i also spoke with some of the

staff at mini-boss, which is a bar right down the street from the dispensary, and they told me that they hope that foot traffic is created for all of the businesses here on east santa clara, lamonica, peters, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. lamonica, san jose police are asking the victims of an assault at an ice cream shop to come forward. surveillance video from april 26th from inside this baskin-robbins in east san jose shows a man and a child walking in. and while the child sits, a stranger ran up, smashed the window, sending glass flying. the victims never reported the incident, but weeks later, a tipster helped police track down and arrest the suspect. customers say the arrest gives them some relief, but they're still shocked this happened. >> i just want to get your kids some ice cream and then your kid , that's like you're attacking the kid. why? >> i feel like that wasn't right to do to a little kid. and it must have been really painful

for the kid to experience. and really scary. >> the suspect, 36 year old pam asfari, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and child abuse. police are hoping to find the victims so that they can fully understand what happened. >> our time is now 400 for a substitute teacher in vallejo. was arrested after being caught on camera dragging a student out of a classroom. now take a look at video taken on monday at elite charter school in vallejo. you see the substitute teacher trying to forcibly remove a 13 year-old girl from his classroom. the student's family says it started after the teacher told the girl she was not supposed to be in that classroom. school officials say the substitute teacher won't be allowed to come back to work, but the girl's family says more should have been done to protect their child. fail to give me the teacher's name. >> and i was like, so baffled because how would you protect

this guy's innocence? and you clearly didn't protect my niece. >> now, the student's family says the school did not call law enforcement. instead, the family had to file a report. the substitute teacher was arrested yesterday in. the investigation continues. >> 20 children became sick after a chemical being used at a san francisco run jail drifted to portola elementary school in san bruno. the sheriff's department says the chemicals, including pepper spray, were being used in a training exercise yesterday afternoon. the students and one adult who were impacted did not need to be taken to the hospital now, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office says it's pausing future chemical training exercises while it reviews its practices. it also said, quote, this is an unprecedented situation that we take very seriously. we sincerely apologize to portola elementary school, its faculty and students and their families for this unforeseen event, which must have been especially scary for children. >> time is now. 406 rising tensions in san francisco

between mayor london breed and one of her challengers in the november election. during yesterday's board of supervisors meeting, help me to understand what role are you looking to play in this operation, and how does this have anything to do with your responsibility as the district 11 supervisor? >> i'm just interested in understanding that. >> well, respectfully, madam mayor, i'm also a citywide supervisor. we are citywide as well, and we are responsible for the charge of the entire city. so as i did with the trp site in union square, nob hill area, we were directly involved in working with adult probation, working with the nonprofit, working with the property owner to try to collaborate to make it happen. so this supervisor is ready to do the heavy lifting. so if you're if you're directing your staff to work with us, we're happy to collaborate. >> now. mayor breed said her office is committed to sober living programs, and that the city has invested more than $20 million in recovery programs

based on abstinence in seven locations. >> a proposal to build a 50 story high rise in san francisco will now turn into a much smaller, more affordable housing project, the chronicle reports. developers withdrew the application for that and now plan to sell the sunset district ocean beach property to a nonprofit. it hopes to build an eight story building for moderate income families. >> time is now 407. today is harvey milk day in san francisco. harvey milk was born 94 years ago today. he was the first openly gay man elected to public office in california when, in 1977, he was voted on to the san francisco board of supervisors. in november of 1978, harvey milk was assassinated, along with then san francisco mayor george moscone, by former supervisor dan white. last sunday, a block party was held in the castro district honoring the legacy of harvey milk.

>> well was advertised. yesterday was the warmest day of the week. today will still be warm inland, but it does look slightly cooler here and the theme is to take it even cooler as we head towards not only tomorrow, but all the way into friday and probably saturday as the way it looks. so it looks like we peaked it out yesterday. it will be a downward trend into at least saturday. a little bit more of a breeze. conquered south, gusting to 22 fairfield southwest 16 napa west yesterday. fairfield. i think it was under ten. so that's a little different. we'll see if it holds though. 50s on the temps, 40s for some. were not as cool as yesterday, that's for sure. here. 40s and 50s and 60s konocti and cloverdale are in there. healdsburg and windsor though 4847 sebastopol, rohnert park, bolinas 49. fairfax, 48, in sonoma is also at 4830s up in the mountains 52 and reno 32. in truckee, there a little bit of a system starting to move into the north. you can just get the leading edge of it. that will start to cool down, and that's going to drop to what we call the heights, which equal an open door to that fog bank once it

gets its act together and there's a little bit more coming in, cooling will continue, especially as we head into thursday, friday and probably saturday up in the mountains. if you're going up, there might be enough to trigger some thunderstorm activity. i think drizzle is in our near future. probably more likely on thursday night into friday. wednesday forecast low clouds clear, cooler coast still warm inland. we're still going for some 80s but 60s, 70s and mainly low 80s. now >> all right. thank you, steve a san francisco dog walker who says he has been the target of racist incidents, had his family home destroyed in a fire. his elderly parents had to escape the flames. >> and the san francisco organization serving its community by empowering women, we continue our coverage of asian american pacific islander heritage month with a group of trailblazing women and the major milestone they hit this year.

would prohibit legacy or donor preferences in california college admissions. now, the goal is to end what some consider preferential treatment. if this legislation becomes law, schools are found in violation and would face fines equal to the amount of cal grants received in the prior year. you see, cal state and community colleges already don't consider donor or alumni ties when they make decisions on admissions. >> indigenous, tribal groups are demanding investigations of missing and murdered indigenous people across the u.s. they rallied at san jose city hall, calling it a silent crisis. most of the victims are girls and young women, including the case of 24 year old khadijah britton. she was last seen in 2018 when her ex-boyfriend forced her into

a car at gunpoint in mendocino county. >> the family did most of the searching. yes and the sheriff. i don't know why they didn't call in a helicopter. drones, horses, atvs. it's definitely a pattern. every time. that's a family member goes missing or is found murdered. it affects the family, of course, deeply, but it ripples out and affects our whole indian community. >> advocates say indigenous women vanish at a rate ten times that of white women. advocates hope raising attention will lead to equal treatment of these missing persons cases. now we continue our coverage of asian american pacific islander heritage month, and this time we introduce you to a group of women in san francisco's chinatown who continue the legacy of their trailblazing founders. >> it's very special. ktvu is betty yu tells us about the square and circle club and its mission to give back to the community that started back in

1920, 100 years ago, seven young female pioneers created a club to raise money to help flood and famine victims in china. >> the group was the first of its kind created at a time when the organizers themselves weren't welcomed in san francisco, so they met at the chinese congregational church, still located here on walter ulam place near portsmouth square. >> it's a very important part of our history to know how minorities survive in a society where they have been discriminated, if not, and definitely neglected. >> lorraine dong and claudia chung, both born and raised in san francisco's chinatown, serve as co-presidents of the square and circle club that today has nearly 70 members. ruby. >> it was in the late 60s and women activism was beginning to take hold, so and i was a very independent person. i admired

them for their commitment and their leadership. >> mentorship lorraine is a retired professor at sf state in the asian american studies department. she received her first scholarship from the club when she was a student at the university. $150 covered a full year's tuition. >> my father always told me, if you want to go to college, you're going to have to try to find a way to support yourself. so this very first scholarship that i got from scoring circle was sort of pushed me and say, hey, it's possible the square and circle club's first benefit was a jazz dance that raised $250 over the years. >> the women hosted charity fashion shows, dances and carnivals to raise money for beneficiaries, including chinese hospital and the ymca. among their centennial projects, the group raised $5,000 to help victims of the maui wildfires in 2023. they also created a special scholarship award to be given to a high school senior. rachel hum will be 90 years old

all firefighters. the goal is to make sure that newer members of the fire department aren't required to undergo three extra years of health impacts. another ballot measure would try to help recruit and retain nurses and 911 operators. it would allow full time registered nurses to apply up to three years work as a temporary nurse to be used towards their retirement credits. it would also provide 911 operators with the same retirement benefits as other first responders in the city. currently right now we have a 20% vacancy in our 911 dispatch system. >> we are down 40 911 dispatchers, which is absolutely impacting our public safety response system. >> now, the measure will have to be approved by the board of supervisors before it can be placed on the november ballot. >> the san francisco department of public health is touting a pilot program that provides

you're going to go when a warning is issued, think about it now before you have to act on it. now, as technology evolves, many people are not depending on traditional ways of getting storm warnings, along with encouraging people to follow the local and national weather stories and reports on social media, the experts say the methods of communication should be advanced, including having them in a variety of languages. >> all right, let's check in with steve paulson and our weather forecast. when is it going to be cooling down a little bit today okay a little bit today. >> there's a simple explanation on why that's happening. all these lows are coming out of california going out of the rockies. and that is a that's just a recipe for severe weather, especially when it comes out of the rockies into the plains and picks up that low level jet. if these lows weren't there, these these this active weather would not be happening. napa danville, redwood city and san jose all trending a little down today. napa to 81, danville

to 80. redwood city 79 and san jose also 79. cooler pattern a little bit today, a lot of bit as we go into the next couple of days, especially as we head into friday and also saturday, more of an onshore breeze. city west at 17, still a slight northerly breeze. mount veeder but pittsburgh with a west wind. davis point west southwest. richmond with the south wind. oakland berkeley hills also with a more of a southerly southwesterly breeze a little bit napa 1217 so you kind of watch napa american canyon, cordelia hiddenbrooke fairfield when that delta breeze kicks in over san pablo bay out to the delta, that's usually one of the first areas petaluma gap, san bruno gap as well out to dublin. when that wind picks up out of the west, you know cooler weather is on the way. 50s on most of the temps here, some 40s. petaluma, santa rosa, 48 castro valley, north dublin, upper 40s kensington's in there as well. we are much, much warmer than yesterday at this time. and some low 60s pittsburgh and also brentwood 30s up in the mountains 32. truckee 35. south lake tahoe.

mammoth has dipped to 30 elko sleeping in along with alturas. that's all right. you're allowed some higher clouds will start to come down here, but really it's getting more of the onshore breeze to kick in here from that system, which is dropping in. and then low pressure will settle in. so cooler coast and bay. it'll still be warm inland, but we topped it out yesterday no doubt. and cooling continues, especially as we head towards thursday and friday. a little bit of activity possible up in the mountains, so just keep an eye on that and drizzle looks likely for us. so low clouds otherwise clear. but there's a little bit more in the low cloud deck today. cooler coast and bay still warm inland. do think we'll get an afternoon breeze, if not earlier one than that. 60s 70s 80s all right, steve, thank you. >> time now for 22. there's a pause now in the criminal trial of former president trump. the key issues the judge in the case is considering while the jury has the rest of the week off and pickleball push back. >> up next, we hear from people who are upset about the plan for new courts

of respect for the various noise complaints. there's housing all around that particular park. town council members say a sound barrier will be placed around the two existing pickleball courts in an effort to dampen those noises. >> the debate over pickleball courts continues in many local cities. a new pickleball hub was unveiled a few months ago in san francisco. some people say they're frustrated because the project replaced a tennis court and a basketball court. others complain about the increase in traffic and say the game is too noisy. people in richmond protested back in march against a pickleball project at craneway pavilion. ultimately, the 12th court project opened and includes a restaurant, bar and shop. now you can stay up to date with the growing debate over pickleball around the bay area. just head to ktvu.com or download the fox local app to your smart tv. concern that a new policy would lead to more police chases, the information that could bring changes in oakland. >> they get him so he can pay

i got to the garage door couldn't go no further. >> the couple's son, terry williams, also lives in the home, but he was not there when the fire broke out. he says he rushed home to find the house engulfed in flames. >> my mom's disabled like she can't move around, so all i can think about my mom going to burn him and i was one of my worst nightmares i ever had. my parents burned up in the house in recent weeks. >> on two separate occasions, williams says he found packages thrown over the front gate of the home that contained items, including a blackface doll with a noose around the neck and racist slurs written on it. san francisco police tell me there investigating those incidents as hate crimes, williams is a popular dog walker. he tells me he's suspicious about whether this fire is arson and related to the racist incidents. >> i don't know, but i pray to god it's not. i pray to god is not. >> williams is grateful his parents and three dogs are alive. he was at city hall when the fire broke out, talking to the mayor's office about the racist incidents. >> he's an avid community

person. he works hard. he does what he does with his with his dogs and with other community. he walks everybody's dogs. for somebody that has a heart like that to be treated the way he's being treated and be a native of san francisco, it's not it's not okay. >> fire officials have not said what caused the fire or where it started. fire crews were able to respond quickly to the first 911 call in just over a minute. they credit people calling for help in saving the life of williams mother, who was trapped on the third floor. >> one of the victims didn't have minutes left before. this could have been tragically different. >> i have tried to fix this. i don't know how to do it, but i'm going to have to do it since the home has been destroyed, the williams family is staying with a relative. >> fire officials say it could take more than a month to determine the cause of the fire in san francisco, amber lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amber, thank you. and a resolution was approved by the san francisco board of supervisors that condemns the racist acts against the williams family. it is truly horrific

what this family has already gone through. >> and to add today's events to this, this was major damage to the family home. >> now, the resolution urges city departments to prioritize the investigation of the fire and other incidents, and to give support to the williams family. >> oakland police are still searching for a man accused of killing the owner of an east oakland auto shop. 68 year old aristeo zambrano was shot and killed at a shop. bay city alternators in early february. a month later, police identified 33 year old robert moore as the suspect. moore has not been arrested yet. >> they get him so he can pay with what he did, even though i'm not going to get my father back, but he needs to pay. he needs to be accountable for what he did. >> we're told the suspect may be out of state, and that the u.s. marshals may also be looking for him. anyone who has seen moore is asked to contact oakland

elected leaders in this town that oakland is open for crime. >> now the police commission is being asked to bring its report on police pursuits and some proposed changes back to city council by september 24th. >> a member of the state assembly has won a special election to complete the remainder of former house speaker kevin mccarthy's term. republican vince fong of bakersfield was endorsed by mccarthy and backed by donald trump. the special election only covers the time remaining in mccarthy's term, which ends in january. mccarthy left congress last year after he was ousted as speaker of the house. >> well, the members of the jury in donald trump's new york criminal trial will have the week off after the defense for donald trump arrested its case for the court. however, the work goes on, the judge now has to decide how to instruct the members of the jury as they weigh the evidence and whether to ask the jury to consider if the payment to former adult movie star stormy daniels would have been made, even if donald trump had not run for office, if

the money would have been paid anyway, and the judge is willing to instruct the jury that way, that moves the ball a lot further towards the not guilty yard line. now, the former president is still calling for the case to be thrown out for now. the jury is due to return next tuesday. prepare to hear the defense and the prosecution's closing arguments. well, 11 allies of former president trump, including rudy giuliani, pleaded not guilty in a sweeping election interference case in arizona. the lawyers, the aides and state political leaders associated with donald trump are facing charges like forgery, conspiracy and fraud, the prosecutors claim they unsuccessfully tried to overturn the 2020 election results in favor of former president trump. a trial is scheduled for october . >> the san francisco's public health nurses reached a tentative agreement with the city on a new contract. the deal

avoids a possible strike by roughly 2200 nurses who voted overwhelmingly to authorize a walkout just four days ago, the union negotiators say the new contract raises wages, improves safety and addresses staffing issues and the use of contractors. but the agreement does still need to be ratified. san francisco mayor london breed says she's pleased with the outcome, saying, quote, a lot of hard work has gone into these negotiations, particularly over the last several weeks, and we look forward to these agreements being fully ratified. these agreements will ensure our workforce can continue to deliver the critical city services. our residents rely on. >> our time is 438. santa clara county has been awarded federal grants for health care of almost $11 million. 1.3 million will go to improve public health infrastructure, 2.4 million will support hiv emergency relief efforts, and more than 7 million is headed to the gardner family health network for comprehensive health care services for underserved communities. now the

money is coming from the department of health and human services. >> well, for the first time since early in the pandemic, california has had a day with zero reported covid deaths statewide. state data shows no deaths were reported connected to covid 19 on april 2nd and again on april 21st. that hasn't happened since march of 2020. covid deaths have been much lower over the last year compared to the previous years. the peak for this year hit about 37 a day, compared to the height of the pandemic, where more than 700 people died in one day from covid. in total, more than 100,000 californians have died from covid. >> well, temperatures peaked out yesterday. they'll still be warm inland today, but the temperature trend is to be a little cooler here. nothing wrong with being a little cooler, but napa, danville, redwood city, san jose, down we go. 81, 80, 79 and 79 degrees. cooler pattern will continue. it starts a little bit today. more

so as we go into thursday. friday for sure. and temperatures will drop into the 70s for many inland after some mid to a few upper 80s yesterday, more of an onshore wind now diablos west southwest oakland, berkeley hills, northwest and the city and most locations even atlas peak, have a westerly breeze west southwest . fairfield not a great, you know, roaring wind, but that's stronger than yesterday. napa airport, west southwest 17 coming in off san pablo bay. that usually is a pretty good indicator. 40s, 50s on the temps, couple of 60s brentwood, but vacaville down to 57. they've lost that north wind as well. on the coast socked in san mateo coast down to santa cruz, monterey. lots of low clouds and fog. so 50s there. 45 woodside, upper 40s, atherton, menlo park, stanford, los altos close and san carlos at 51 mid 30s truckee, south lake tahoe, mount shasta 54 mammoths at 31 degrees. system coming down from the north is all it takes. that's opening the door to a little bit more of a breeze and also a slightly cooler pattern.

but that system will settle in, and actually the western edge of it will retrograde back. and that's going to continue to usher in some cooler weather. cooling will continue probably all the way into friday or saturday. if you're going to the mountains, keep an eye on things. could get some activity popping up here. it's kind of hit and miss, but you know, it looks like again, favoring the carson pass area around kirkwood, there were was the forecast has low clouds, clear 40s 50s cooler coast breeze already picking up here. but 6070s and 80s. >> thank you steve. learning more about your family tree. the unique event hosted by the san francisco public library. >> and as more california homeowners are losing their home insurance policies, one bay area district attorney is taking legal action against some insurance companies

intelligent speed assistance technology in all new vehicles. supporters say studies have shown the technology gets people to slow down and potentially save lives. it gives a warning when vehicles go more than ten miles an hour over the speed limit, but it doesn't actually slow down the car. now, lawmakers in sacramento passed a bill that would require autonomous vehicle companies to get local approval before they operate in a new city. it would also let first responders override autonomous cars during emergencies. this bill now goes to the state assembly. >> the state supreme court heard arguments on the constitutionality of proposition 22. now that's the voter approved law that classified ride share and delivery drivers as independent contractors, rather than employees. >> it's a really fun thing to do. you meet a lot of interesting people, particularly here in the bay area. the bad

thing is, is we don't get paid anymore very well. >> now, under the law, drivers are considered to be their own employers. that designation frees the companies from paying a guaranteed minimum wage or providing traditional benefits such as health care and sick leave. the court must decide whether prop 22 unlawfully interferes with the state legislature's authority to provide workers compensation protections to those who are injured on the job. >> who gets to decide? does the legislature get to decide, or do the people of california through the ballot process, get to ultimately decide? now ahead of the hearing, uber warned in a statement that a change to the measure would affect, quote, millions of californians who would see major service reductions and cost increases, or lose ride sharing and food delivery entirely. >> legal experts say the court could come to some type of compromise. the state supreme court has to issue a decision in the case within the next 90 days. all right. >> our time is 446. spirit

spa treatment that happens in air. >> i would like all of that. well, yeah, starting off, the company is offering flights from new york to los angeles and to london. the ticket price will cost about $8,000 for a one way international flight and 6000 for a domestic trip for one dog and one owner. >> got it all right. time is 447. the alameda county district attorney's office now suing farmers insurance group, claiming it deliberately undervalues the homes they insure. the da's office says this insurance company uses a computer program to estimate the replacement value of a home. instead of using individualized information that that program uses general information like your zip code, to determine the value of the home. as a result, some homeowners often end up being under insured, and they can't rebuild when losses occur. >> by offering these lower premiums based on inaccurate

estimates, the insurance companies gain a competitive advantage at the expense of proper coverage. >> now, farmers insurance denied all wrongdoing. >> many americans are still struggling with inflation. a new report from the federal reserve shows about 65% of americans say their financial lives got worse last year because of chronic inflation. the number of people who said that they are doing well financially is down 6% year to year. inflation has dropped from its peak, but it is still above the fed's goal of 2. >> our time now. 448 investing was once thought to be an adult only activity, but there's a new app that helps kids learn about financial literacy. it's called busy kid. it educates children about the value in saving, investing, and spending money, the creator of the app says, in today's age of digital currency, a debit card is one of the first steps to learn fiscal responsibility and once a child

or a teenager has a card in their name, you can teach them how to break up their finances into different categories. >> i'm telling you, seven, eight, nine years old, you think that oh my goodness, that's really early. but it's what they need to learn. some of it goes into save where they can invest and learn how to invest. some of it goes into share where they can donate it to charity, and then some of it goes into spend. >> who do you think kxtr. yeah, well, well, he also says kids should be active participants in the personal and family financial situation to make sure they are increasing their financial iq. the kids debit card costs $4 a month. >> good. good idea. yeah. as memorial day weekend approaches, plenty of people are planning to go for a swim and be by the water, but several beaches in

southern california are now closed due to water contamination. officials in los angeles county are warning people not to swim and play in ocean water due to high levels of bacteria. signs have been posted at beaches advising people to avoid water contact activities. some people are ignoring those you can't, like, worry about every single thing, so it's something that i'm going to go wash my hands. >> it'll be good. thank you for letting me know. not worried we're gonna die anyway. >> i don't know nothing about it , so. but we're here. so what's the deal? >> officials say more than 14,000 gallons of sewage was released into the ocean a couple of weeks ago. oh, way tough timing, because it is definitely a time to head to the beaches. i think we're going to have nice weather into the memorial day weekend. let's check with steve. >> well, we'll have cooler weather starting a little bit today and then more so as we go into thursday, friday, saturday the breeze is picking up already and it is favorable for more of an onshore direction here. napa airport now west southwest 17.

fairfield's in there. concord south, gusting 22. oakland has a little west southwest, so everything is starting to take the turn here. after yesterday had a little more of a northerly northeasterly breeze. 40s, mainly 50s though we're not as cool as yesterday morning. although boulder creek is 43. a lot of fog. san mateo coast down to santa cruz and also monterey, san martin 49 hollister's 45. they made it to 41 yesterday and then 5052 cupertino and san jose, 32. truckee 35. south lake, taos, 6668. excuse me, las vegas. that's not bad. 5060s up and down the coast except arcata. eureka at 49. fog will be on the move. and also a few high clouds coming in. so from that system associated with it right there, that's all we need this time of year. so more coast fog still warm inland. not as warm as yesterday though. the breeze is a little more onshore and the cooling continues. looks like saturday will be the coolest day and he travel plans to the mountains. just keep an eye on some, maybe developing thunderstorm activity tends to favor the carson pass area, more so than tahoe truckee, but close

enough to mention it low clouds otherwise clear a little bit more in the way of low clouds though, and cooler coast and bay still warm inland. but i think we're looking at 6070, 80s and the cooling while it starts a little bit today it will be more pronounced thursday, especially friday, saturday, then sunday looks better. >> thank you steve a surprise at a high school on the peninsula. the meaningful art installation that appeared on campus overnight and baseball fans showed up for oakland's newest team. how the ballers made the first game a memorable one. studies show people like to get more for less. so i'm giving you not just 1 jumbo jack burger... ...but 2, for only 5 bucks! statistically speaking that's a lot more for a lot less. at jack, every bite's a big deal. welcome to jack in the box!

recommend going down to auto mall. fremont police, union city police, chp, all doing a search for someone in adjacent neighborhood. a lot of police activity. it may have a slowdown. in fact, it might slow you down if you're driving on 680 near auto mall, parkway bay bridge looks pretty light. we don't have a backup there yet. the rest of the commute is off to a good start at 501. let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal. we have a brand new number on this. california's efforts to make oakland safer. according to the highway patrol, recent surges in officers is helping and ktvu is. james torres joins us now with more from the governor's office. james. >> yeah. pam, the chp surges, they've been going on since february, and at times they've gone as much as 120 extra officers in oakland. and the numbers they're now reporting may be good news for people in the town. here's what we're learning from chp in the last three months, officers have been able to recover 726 stolen cars, 46 guns they say are linked to

crimes and arrest 355 suspects on a number of different crimes. the chp helped explain how they're doing this. officers take analytics and data from their offices as well as from the oakland police department. they use that intelligence to target high crime areas, specifically searching for thieves, drug dealers and those with outstanding warrants. >> all of that is just technology based that helps investigations so that we can make sure that we are accurately identifying those that are responsible for these crimes, and then going ahead and making those proper arrests, recovering, you know, hopefully the firearms that are used in criminal acts and stolen vehicles. >> csp officials say their partnership with oakland pd and the alameda district attorney's office, as well as other local agencies, helped make their success possible, adding they're unannounced. surges of officers are still ongoing. additionally, governor gavin newsom's office

continues to make investments into the safety of oakland next, we expect a network of about 480 cameras to be installed in the area, they say. that's to help identify criminals more promptly after a crime and arrest them faster and more accurately. live in the newsroom. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. james. san jose police are asking the victims of an assault at an ice cream shop to come forward. surveillance video from april 26th from inside this baskin-robbins in east san jose shows a man and a child walking in. and while the child sat, a stranger ran up. you see them smash the window and send glass flying into the store. the victims never reported the incident, but weeks later, a tipster helped police track down and arrest the suspect. customers say the arrest gives them some relief, but they're still shocked that this happened. >> i just want to get your kids some ice cream and then your kid that's like, you're attacking the kid. why?

>> i feel like that wasn't right to do to a little kid. and it must have been really painful for the kid to experience and really scary. >> the suspect, 36 year old pam asfari, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and child abuse. police are hoping to find the victims that they can fully understand what happened. >> our time now 504. a substitute teacher in vallejo was arrested after being caught on camera dragging a student out of a classroom. now take a look at this video taken on monday at elite charter school in vallejo. you see the substitute teacher trying to forcibly remove a 13 year-old girl from his classroom. the student's family says it started after the teacher told the girl she was not supposed to be in that classroom. school officials say the substitute teacher won't be allowed to come back to work, but the girl's family says more should have been done to protect the child. >> fail to give me the teacher's name. and i was like, so baffled

because how would you protect this guy's innocence? and you clearly didn't protect my niece. >> now the student's family says the school did not call law enforcement, but instead the family itself had to file a report. the substitute teacher was arrested yesterday, and the investigation continues. >> 20 children became sick after a chemical being used at a san francisco run jail drifted to portola elementary school in san bruno. the sheriff's department says the chemicals, including pepper spray, were being used in a training exercise yesterday afternoon. the students and one adult who were impacted did not need to be taken to the hospital. a spokesperson for the sheriff's office says it is pausing future chemical training exercises while it reviews its practices. it also said, quote, this is an unprecedented situation that we take very seriously. we sincerely apologize to portola elementary school, its faculty and students and their families for this unforeseen event, which must have been especially scary for

children. >> time is now. 506 rising tensions in san francisco between mayor london breed and one of her challengers in the november election. during yesterday's board of supervisors meeting. >> help me to understand what role are you looking to play in this operation, ian? and how does this have anything to do with your responsibility as the district 11 supervisor? i'm just interested in understanding that. >> well, respectfully, madam mayor, i'm also a citywide supervisor. we are citywide as well, and we are responsible for the charge of the entire city. so as i did with the trp site in union square, nob hill area, we were directly involved in working with adult probation, working with the nonprofit, working with the property owner to try to collaborate to make it happen. so this supervisor is ready to do the heavy lifting. so if you're if you're directing your staff to work with us, we're happy to collaborate. >> mayor london breed said her office is committed to sober

living programs, and that the city's invested more than $20 million in recovery programs based on abstinence in seven locations. >> a proposal to build a 50 story high rise in san francisco, near the beach will now turn into a much smaller, more affordable housing project, the chronicle reports. developers withdrew the application for that big high rise and now plan to sell the sunset district ocean beach property to a nonprofit it hopes to build an eight story building for moderate income families. >> time now 508. a new retail cannabis store has opened its doors in downtown san jose. purple lotus is the first cannabis storefront operating in the heart of downtown san jose. for years, the city had tough rules that kept cannabis stores, mainly in industrial areas. but last year the city eased some of those rules. purple lotus has operated in san jose since 2010. the owners say the new location

is not only better for business, it's better for customers too. >> well, it's better because it's super great because there's like the busses are right here and the light rail. and so even if you don't have a car, it's super easy to get to a lot of people in the tech industry living in this area have been coming down a lot of people don't have cars who live here, so they've been super grateful for it. >> now, in the last fiscal year, the city of san jose collected more than $15 million in tax revenue from cannabis dispensaries. >> a little cooler today after the warm up yesterday, and for sure we peaked it out yesterday. still some 80s inland but 60s and 70s. the breeze is picking up here. that's kind of the key here. nothing too crazy, but it's more of an onshore breeze for some here today. 40s 50s on the temps a couple of 60s well inland, but even vacaville now has a southwest wind versus a north wind yesterday. so that's a big difference here. 47. bolinas 46. sebastopol 47. also healdsburg, windsor, rohnert park, sonoma is in there and fairfax is in there. so not as

cool as yesterday, but still temperatures few 40s, 50s, 30s up in the mountains, 49 to 62 along the coast and 70 in palm springs. weak system moving into the north. it's not weak. it's weak for us, but not for areas. excuse me. to the north. there. and there it is. that's all you need this time of year to get the fog machine rolling along. there's a little bit more fog out there this morning, so the cooling will continue, especially thursday into saturday. saturday looks like the coolest day. a little bit of activity could develop over the mountains, especially as we go into sunday. monday again, it tends to favor the carson pass area more so than lake tahoe, but enough there to mention it. wednesday forecast low clouds a lot. san mateo coast down to santa cruz. cooler coast and bay still warm inland, but 6070s and 80s. and if you want cooler weather, don't you worry it's on its way into saturday. >> thank you steve, a san francisco dog walker who says he has been the target of racist incidents, had his family home destroyed in a fire and his elderly parents had to escape

the flames. we have more up next , and a san francisco organization serving its community by empowering women, we continue our coverage of asian american pacific islander heritage month with this group of trailblazing women and the major milestone they hit this year

probably still living here with mom and dad. fast reliable speeds right where you need them. that's wall-to-wall wifi with xfinity.

said that they were prohibited legacy or donor preferences. in california college admissions now, the goal is to end with some consider preferential treatment if this legislation becomes law. schools found violating this would face fines equal to the amount of cal grants received in the prior year. you see, cal state and community colleges already don't consider donor or alumni ties when it comes to admission decisions. >> indigenous tribal groups are demanding investigations of missing and murdered indigenous people across the us. they rallied at san jose city hall, calling it a silent crisis. most of the victims are girls and young women, including the case of 24 year old khadijah britton. she was last seen in 2018, when her ex-boyfriend forced her into a car at gunpoint in mendocino county. >> the family did most of the searching, yes, and the sheriff.

i don't know why they didn't call in a helicopter. drones horses, atvs. it's definitely a pattern. every time that a family member goes missing or is found murdered, it affects the family, of course, deeply. but it ripples out and affects our whole indian community. >> advocates say indigenous women vanished at a rate ten times that of white women, and advocates hope raising attention will lead to equal treatment of the missing persons cases. now, to call. that's the sound of our continuing coverage of asian american pacific islander heritage month. now we introduce you to a group of women in san francisco's chinatown who continue the legacy of their trailblazing founders. >> very special ktvu betty yu tells us about the square and circle club and its mission that started back in 1920, to give back to the community. >> 100 years ago, seven young female pioneers created a club to raise money to help flood and

famine victims in china. the group was the first of its kind, created at a time when the organizers themselves weren't welcomed in san francisco. they met at the chinese congregational church, still located here on walter ulam place near portsmouth square. >> it's a very important part of our history to know how minorities survive in a society where they have been discriminated, if not, and definitely neglected. >> lorraine dong and claudia chung, both born and raised in san francisco's chinatown, serve as co-presidents of the square and circle club that today has nearly 70 members. >> for me, it was in the late 60s and, women active ism was beginning to take hold. so and i was a very independent person. i admired them for their commitment and their leadership, mentorship lorraine is a retired professor at sf state in the

asian american studies department. >> she received her first scholarship from the club when she was a student at the university. $150 covered a full year's tuition. >> my father always told me, if you want to go to college, you're going to have to try to find a way to support yourself. so this very first scholarship that i got from scoring circle sort of pushed me and say, hey, it's possible the square and circle club's first benefit was a jazz dance that raised $250 over the years. >> the women hosted charity fashion shows, dances and carnivals to raise money for beneficiaries, including chinese hospital and the ymca. among their centennial projects, the group raised $5,000 to help victims of the maui wildfires in 2023. they also created a special scholarship award to be given to a high school senior. rachel hum will be 90 years old this year. one of the oldest in the group, who's committed 63 years to the club. rachel will

be among those honored at the club's centennial celebration on june 1st. >> i feel privileged to be living, now, celebrating the hundredth year of square and circle club. >> betty yu, ktvu, fox two news. >> oh, thank you, betty, for bringing us that story. our coverage of aapi heritage month continues on our website, ktvu.com. you can find a collection of stories celebrating and honoring asian, american and pacific islander cultures. >> bravo to them. right now, we're going to sao. something's happening in the morning commute. what's going on? >> so yeah, there's police activity in fremont, on auto mall, on ramp to northbound 680. this is where, police have been looking for someone in that adjacent neighborhood. they called in chp as well, and there's a big police presence. they were looking for two individuals that were wanted for something. and this started at about, just before 3:00 this

morning. and they still have a perimeter set up in a nearby neighborhood that they've taken up another lane. now on 680. at first, it was only a the shoulder, then the right lane. now they have flares in that right lane. you can tell that people are beginning to slow down past the scene again. this is, this is, auto mall, near 680 heading north. this might affect southbound with all those blue and red lights there might start affecting the freeway. so we're going to keep an eye on it for you and let you know more about it elsewhere from our triple a traffic camera. let's go right to the bay bridge. you can see that traffic looks pretty good. so things are still rather light on the bay bridge and the san mateo bridge, in case you want to get out there early. no issues crossing to the other side of the bay. 519 let's go back to steve. with today's weather. >> thank you, kind sir. lots of sun today, but it will be a smidge cooler, especially coast and bay. and i even think inland. the breezes turned more onshore and that's usually a sure sign though. but it'll be sunny for most, although there's

a little bit more fog today, especially south. i mean, there were some there yesterday, but there's a lot more today. mount veeder, 60, oakland hills those the big change that's down five seven degrees from yesterday because the wind has turned southwest. so i mean it's still a little northerly breeze in mount veeder. but for many locations it's already favoring a little bit more of an onshore breeze. so cooler pattern kicks in a little bit today. more so thursday. friday looks like we'll bottom out on the temps on saturday and get a little rebound on sunday. more of an onshore breeze here for many west southwest, so it's not that strong, but i expect it to start picking up later today. mainly 50s on the temps are some 4160 out of brentwood, but a lot of 50s here. kensington though at 49 degrees castro valley, 47. north dublin 49. then it's a lot of 50s or low 50s here. that system up there in the pacific northwest that that's going to develop into the intermountain region, eastern nevada. but the western edge of that is going to drop what we call lower pressure over us. and that'll open the door to that fog bank in the sea breeze kicking in. so low clouds

clear, cooler coast and bay still warm inland. but yesterday sure looks like it was the warmest day 60, 70, 80 on the temps and if you wanted cooler, don't you worry. it'll take us into saturday. a little rebound looks likely. sunday. monday, dave. >> all right, steve, thank you. time for 520. there's now a pause in the criminal trial of former president donald trump. the key issues the judge is considering while the jury will be off the rest of the week and the push back against pickleball . all up next, we'll hear from people angry about plans for new pickleball courts

against adding more pickleball courts to a park. now, last night, people packed into a town hall meeting and after almost five hours of debate, the proposal to build new pickleball courts will not move forward. the plans included tearing up part of osage memorial garden in order to build six new pickleball courts, in addition to the two already in the park. >> i have a bigger friend, a network of friends in danville since i started playing pickleball than i ever have before. >> the noise from a hard plastic ball hitting a hardened paddle non stop for 6 to 10 hours a day is something i am sure none of you would like to live with.

>> now the town council members say they made the decision out of respect for the various noise complaints, and for how there's housing all around that park. town council members say a sound barrier will be placed around the two existing pickleball courts to reduce those noises. now, the debate over pickleball courts continues, and many other local communities. a new pickleball hub was unveiled a few months ago in san francisco. some people say they're frustrated because the project replaced a tennis court and a basketball court. others complained about the increase in traffic and that the game is too noisy, according to them. now people in richmond protested back in march against a pickleball project at craneway pavilion. ultimately the 12 court project opened. it includes a restaurant, a bar and a shop. and don't forget, you can stay up to date with the growing debate about pickleball all around the bay area. just go to ktvu.com or to download the

that a new policy would lead to more police chases. we'll tell you about the information that could reach some changes in oakland. >> they get him so he can pay with what he did. even though i'm not going to get my father back, but he needs to pay. >> the search for justice in the east bay. after a business owner was killed, the family that's worrying his killer

to a chemical from a nearby jail. what's being done to prevent it from happening again? >> plus, i'm glad that me and my wife are safe. and the dogs two i was this close to losing my mom and my dad. >> the home of a san francisco dog walker destroyed in a fire. the question now was it arson? following complaints of racist incidents? >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for joining us here. on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> welcome to wednesday may 22nd i'm loving the colors a little pink on wednesdays we wear pink. >> that's right. >> hey steve. will pam be able to handle today's weather better than yesterday? >> okay. oh, good. >> yeah. it will not be as bad here. a little bit more in the way of low clouds here. 40s and 50s on the temps, fog bank is increasing a little bit. it's not a roaring one. it's not making a huge push yet, but it's

on its way here. it will still get 80 inland, but we topped it out yesterday. no. no doubt. here comes sunshine. well, not yet, but it's on its way. unless you're in that fog. boyle tech, san mateo coast down to santa cruz. it takes a while for that to burn back. but 60s, 70s and 80s. all right. cells here. i think we have to go to fremont, i think. >> yeah, we do, 680 northbound at auto mall. we have a closure for police activity. i have it on the air traffic camera. now, you can see that northbound 680, right. lane is taken away here, and there's a police search going on in the adjacent neighborhood from some criminal activity that happened in the 3:00 hour in a neighborhood in fremont. we don't know more, but we do know one thing. we can see it for ourselves that there is a lot of police activity. chp is also involved with fremont police. and these lights may affect the southbound side, which is the traffic coming toward us on the left. you know, people driving by may try and see what's going on. northbound 680, which you see here closer to us, not big slowdown. that's

the non commute direction. and we're going to keep an eye on it for you. and a pretty extensive operation with drones and everything here in the neighborhood. so best to avoid the area if you can. let's go out and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza that that is, not backed up yet. looks pretty good into san francisco at 531. let's get back to the headlines. >> okay. now. thank you. well, pepper spray that was used in a law enforcement training exercise ended up in a nearby elementary school yesterday. ktvu amanda quintana is at the jail in san bruno right now with details. amanda, good morning. >> good morning. yeah, well, the sheriff's office tells us that this training that included chemical agents, such as pepper spray was being done inside an isolated part of the jail, which is just up the hill here behind me. they say the gas from inside the building then drifted to nearby portola elementary school, and it is pretty windy

out here right now, so we can kind of understand how that would happen. but teachers and students at that elementary school there said that they started to feel burning in their eyes, their nose, and their throat because of it. this is video of the large emergency response at the school with multiple ambulances and fire trucks. the sheriff's office says that they've been doing this training for crowd management and intervention for more than 20 years here, and this has never happened before. so this happened just before 1:00 yesterday afternoon. so the elementary school was full. it's unclear exactly how many students or teachers were affected by this, but obviously a large emergency response. members of the sheriff's office went to the school as well to explain what happened and to apologize. they say this must have been especially scary for children. the department says that they have now put a pause on this kind of training here at this jail. they're going to be reviewing the policies, looking

at it to make sure that it could be done safely without impacting the surrounding neighborhoods, schools, anyone in this area. so they are pausing that training for now before they can figure out really how this happened. live in san bruno amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news thank you. >> amanda, a dog walker san francisco home went up in flames weeks, and now an investigation is underway into if it was connected to racist attacks against the man citizen. video shows a fire at the three story home where terry williams lives on grove street. late yesterday morning. the fire sent his older parents to the hospital and destroyed their home. williams says he is grateful his parents and the three dogs are alive. but when the fire started, he was at city hall talking to the mayor's office about racist incidents. >> he's an avid community person . he works hard. he does what he does with his with his dogs and with other community. he walks everybody's dogs. who wants to

be walked for somebody that has a heart like that, to be treated the way he's being treated and be a native of san francisco, it's not. it's not okay. >> my mom's disabled like she can't move around. so all i can think about my mom when i was one of my worst nightmares ever, had my parents burned up in the house. >> san francisco police told us they are investigating those incidents as hate crimes. fire officials say it may take weeks to determine the cause of the fire. oakland police are still searching for a man accused of killing the owner of an east oakland auto shop. 68 year old aristeo zambrano was shot and killed at a shop. bay city alternators in early february. a month later, police identified 33 year old robert moore as a suspect, but moore has not been arrested. >> they get him so he can pay with what he did. even though i'm not going to get my father back, but he needs to pay. he needs to be accountable for what he did. >> we're told the suspect may be out of state and that the us marshal's office may also be looking for him. anyone who has

seen moore is asked to contact oakland police. >> our time now. 535 the oakland city council wants the police commission to propose changes to the oakland police pursuit policies that could lead to more police chases. >> i believe that the commission will look into all the available data nationally, locally and regionally as they do an exhaustive study. >> now, oakland council members introduced the measure after hearing from residents who want the police to conduct more chases. the police department's current policy only allows the police to pursue violent and armed suspects, except in special circumstances. >> we have to be balanced with balancing public safety, with pedestrian safety, with the safety of our officers, with the safety of bystanders, we also have a huge perception issue that we have to tackle as elected leaders in this town, that oakland is open for crime. >> the police commission is being asked to report to oakland

city council by september 24th. >> new numbers this morning from the highway patrol highlight its efforts to combat crime with the oakland police department. the east bay operation has been going on since february, and officers have been using data from the oakland police department to target high crime areas, specifically searching for thieves, drug dealers and people with outstanding warrants. the chp says. in the last three months, officers have recovered 726 stolen cars, seized 46 guns linked to crimes and arrested 355 suspects. these surge operations are still ongoing. >> our time is now. 536 will the jury in donald trump's criminal trial in new york? we'll have the rest of the week off after trump's defense rested its case. now for the court, however the work goes on, the judge still has to decide how to instruct the jury as they weigh the evidence and whether to ask the members of the jury to consider if the payment to former adult movie star stormy daniels would have been made, even if trump

had not been running for office, or if the money would have been paid anyway. >> and the judge is willing to instruct the jury that way. that moves the ball a lot further towards the not guilty yard line. >> now, the former president still wants the case to be thrown out. for now, the jury is due to return next tuesday, preparing to hear the defense and the prosecution's closing arguments for the first time since early in the pandemic, california has had a day with zero reported covid deaths statewide. >> state data shows no deaths were reported connected to covid 19 on april 2nd and again on april 21st. that has not happened since march of 2020. covid deaths have been much lower over the last year compared to previous years. the peak for this year hit about 37 a day compared to the height of the pandemic, where more than 700 people died in one day from covid. in total, more than 100,000 californians died from covid.

>> well, we'll start in the city. temperature today is right about where it should be, not only on the high side, but on the low side for may 22nd here. 65 forecast high. low 52. it's 52 now. average is 6452. the records not that extreme 85 1943 on the high side and 44 way back in 1909 on the low napa danville, redwood city, san jose. all arrows pointing down today, 81, 80, 79 and 79 on steve's forecast highs. it's a cooler pattern kicking in a little bit today. there's a there's more fog to go around today than we saw yesterday, that's for sure. it was mainly confined towards the san mateo coast. santa cruz still there. but there's a little bit more, especially mendocino coast, some kind of dancing around the bay. now. the onshore breezes kicked in. instead of more of that northeasterly breeze. it's a little more westerly today for most 40s 50s on the temps. don't think these will change all that much. i mean, we are running warmer than yesterday. we had a lot of cool lows yesterday, but not today. it's 40s for a few

50s though for most lafayette, orinda, low 50s. clayton 51 degrees, el cerrito, berkeley, el sobrante. all right there at 52 low moving into the north, replacing another one which is swept through the intermountain region. northern rockies. so a little bit more coast fog today. it'll still be sunny inland, but i think we peaked it out yesterday and the cooling will really start on thursday and probably bottom out on saturday's way. it looks low, clouds otherwise clear, cooler coast and bay still warm inland, but there's a slightly more onshore breeze. 60s 70s and 80s on the temps and if you want a cooler, it's on its way. if you want it warmer, probably early next week. >> well, as more california homeowners are losing their home insurance policies, one bay area district attorney is taking legal action against some insuranc

drivers when they go over the speed limit has passed in the state senate. now, it would require all new vehicles to have intelligent speed assistance technology supporters say. studies show the technology gets drivers to slow down and possibly save lives. it gives a warning when vehicles go more

than ten miles an hour over the speed limit, but it doesn't actually slow the car down and lawmakers in sacramento passed a bill that would require autonomous vehicle companies to get local approval before they operate in a new city. it would also let first responders override autonomous cars during emergencies. that bill now goes to the state assembly. >> the state supreme court heard arguments on the constitutionality of proposition 22. now that's the voter approved law that classifies rideshare and delivery drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. >> it's a really fun thing to do . you meet a lot of interesting people, particularly here in the bay area. the bad thing is, is we don't get paid anymore very well. >> under the law, drivers are considered to be their own employers. that designation frees the companies from paying a guaranteed minimum wage or providing traditional benefits, such as health care and sick leave. the court must decide

whether prop 22 unlawfully interferes with the state legislature's authority to provide workers compensation protections to those who are injured on the job, who gets to decide? >> does the legislature get to decide or do the people of california through the ballot process, get to ultimately decide? >> ahead of the hearing, uber warned in a statement that the change would to the measure would affect, quote, millions of californians who would see major service reductions and cost increases, or lose ride sharing and food delivery entirely. legal experts say the court could come to some type of compromise. the state supreme court has to issue a decision in the case within the next 90 days. >> our time is now. 545 spirit airlines, now the latest airline to get rid of those change fees for travelers who want to switch their flights. previously, spirit charged as much as $119 to switch a flight. it changes. the flights can be made for free now until one hour before the

flight. spirit says that policy will give customers more flexibility. customers still have to pay any cost difference between their flights. >> flying can be difficult for dog owners. we've been talking about a new airline that's catering to traveling dogs. bark air's first flights take off tomorrow. the luxury flights cater to pups from the moment you arrive at the airport to the moment you land at your destination, it offers treats, doggie champagne and more to create a unique first class experience. >> you see the pillows and blankets all over. they're covered in pheromones that make the dog more comfortable. even a spa treatment that happens in air. >> for now, the company is offering flights between new york, los angeles and london, making himself at home there. the ticket price, though $8,000 for a one way international flight, 6000 for a domestic trip for one dog and one person. >> amazing. all right. time is

546. the alameda county da's office suing farmers insurance group, claiming it deliberately undervalues the homes they insured. the da's office says this insurance company uses a computer program to estimate the replacement value of a home. instead of using individualized data. that program uses general information, like your zip code, to determine the home value as a result, some homeowners often are underinsured, and they can't rebuild when there are losses. >> by offering these lower premiums based on inaccurate estimates, the insurance companies gain a competitive advantage at the expense of proper coverage. >> now, farmers insurance has denied the allegations. >> many americans are still struggling with inflation. a new report from the federal reserve shows about 65% of americans say their finances were worse last year because of chronic inflation. the number of people

who said that they are doing well financially is down 6% year to year. inflation has dropped from its peak, but it is still more than the fed's goal of 2. >> well, investing for a long time was considered something only adults were involved in. but there's a new app that helps children learn out about financial literacy. it's called busy kid. it educates kids about the value of saving, investing, and spending money. the creator of the app says, in today's age of digital currency, a debit card is one of the first steps in learning fiscal responsibility. once a child or a teenager has a debit card in their name, you can teach them how to handle their finances and break them up into different categories. >> i'm telling you, seven, eight, nine years old, you think that oh my goodness, that's really early. but it's what they need to learn. some of it goes into save where they can invest and learn how to invest it. some of it goes into share where they can donate it to charity, and

then some of it goes into spend. >> he also said that kids should be active in the personal and family finances to make sure they're increasing their financial iq. this kid's debit card costs about $4 a month. >> it is a great idea, i know, and i love the pie charts. my daughters were shocked at how much they spent at, you know, say food. yeah, it's like, oh my gosh, i'm spending that much. you know, if they head to certain coffee shops or whatever where it's expensive. all right. sal has been covering some traffic issues. what's going on? >> yeah. pam and dave, good morning to you. right now, things seem to be getting a little better for the traffic on 680 at auto mall, but there's some police activity still as chp and fremont police are working on a search in a nearby neighborhood, and you can see the right lane is taken away by this pretty extensive search conducted by fremont police in an adjacent neighborhood. there was also a car associated with a crime being put up on a tow

truck, and there were some people in the neighborhood that were spotted by drones, according to the reports. so this is a good area to avoid. southbound 680 on the left does not seem to be affected, and we're going to try and find out officially by fremont police when they have a time to talk to us. what exactly went down. but we do know we see one of those infinities. there being put up on a tow truck. all right, let's talk about the regular commute. heading over to the bay bridge. there's a little bit of a backup already that appeared rather quickly in the last ten 15 minutes. it's about a ten minute delay before you make it onto the span. elsewhere, the commute is kind of ramping up slowly, which is good. 550 let's bring steve back in with today's weather. all right, sal, thank you. >> still nice, but not as warm as yesterday. we'll kind of break it down here. we're in our mini summer pattern already here . coast versus inland. stinson beach, 68, half moon bay. socked in too much fog 58 in santa cruz 66. cordelia, antioch and pleasanton 80s. but coming down

from yesterday, yesterday we peaked it out. the city will be down four from yesterday, going 6552 average 6452 zero. right there. the records are not that extreme really. 85. that's it. 1943 and 44. back in 1909. cooler pattern kicks in a little bit today. much more so as we head to thursday. friday looks like we'll bottom out on the temps on saturday. more of an onshore breeze for many, even mount diablo westerly right now. the city westerly at least one observation there more of a west southwest from carquinez strait out to carquinez strait. san pablo bay as well, and also in the oakland berkeley hills 40s for a few 50s for most. on the temps here, woodside's 4540s for menlo park, atherton, stanford, los altos now has joined the party, but too much fog and low 50s. i mean, it's socked in for many san mateo coast all the way down to santa cruz. another system dropping in. you can see that up towards the pacific northwest. we'll get the western edge of it. so a little bit more fog, but it'll be sunny inland, just not as warm as yesterday. and i do think that sea breeze

is beginning to show itself. and cooling will continue all the way into saturday. as we mentioned, any activity for us would probably be drizzle. i would think friday night, saturday for us, but maybe a few isolated cells up in the mountains. if you are going up there. wednesday forecast is leaning on a little bit cooler still warm inland, but not as warm as yesterday and 60s 70s and 80s. temperatures will start to take a tumble. not so much tomorrow, but for sure friday into saturday. >> all right steve, thank you. time now. 551 caught on camera now. vallejo substitute teacher appears to be dragging a student out of class. the girl's family accuses the school district of caring more about that teacher than the student, and baseball fans showed up for oakland's newest team. >> we'll tell you how the ballers made the first me

additions. take a look. three baby bison were born in the last week. they're called red dogs because of their light red color fur, which will turn darker as they get older. the baby bison will eventually head to montana to help rebuild the bison population, but for now, you can see them at the oakland zoo well. >> bay area students have a special chance to leave a mark on the bay area's ferries. sf bay ferry is adding two new vessels to its fleet and giving local students a chance to name the fleet. anybody who attends kindergarten through the 12th grade in one of alameda contra costa san francisco, san mateo or solano counties can submit a proposed name on the agency's website. the name should reflect the bay area history in some way, and should not refer to any specific people or organizations. >> well, if you ever wanted to know more about your family tree, here is a great opportunity. the san francisco main library is hosting its

first genealogical and family history conference today. the day long, free event is aimed at giving people the tools to discover where they came from. ktvu learned about some of the many resources that are available for learning about your family roots through obituaries and death notices, vital records, maps, photographs , and subscription genealogy databases like ancestry library and fold3 military records. >> so the inaugural conference is a great way to bring all of those components together. >> attendees will also get a chance to hear from speakers about san francisco's diverse communities. the free conference starts at 10 a.m. today at the main library on larkin street. it runs until 6 p.m. >> pam, can i talk about food? yeah, sure. okay. county fairs and over the top food seem to kind of go hand in hand. alameda county fair attenders will have a chance to vote on some of

montana last night. baseball fans here in the bay area got together at the oakland athletic club to watch the game, including members of the oakland 68 fan group says they're excited to welcome the ballers to oakland. >> oakland's a great baseball town. i think what we've done with all our sell the team, the boycotts and the protests just show how much enthusiasm there is for baseball here. and i think it's a good it's a good chance to show, the show everybody that that oakland is a baseball town. >> and last night the ballers had their first victory. they won the game 7 to 6. the team's first 12 games are on the road. it's the first home game that's scheduled for june 4th at oakland's raymond park. well, new this morning, the chp says it's cracked down on crime in oakland is working. we'll take a look at the numbers over the past three months. plus the

on it. but yesterday was the warmest day by far. here we are looking for 6070s and some low low 80s. well, hopefully you're not going down the road feeling bad. here's the man to get you. can guide you through it. mister sal castaneda. >> steve, thank you very much. i see what you did there. and you know what? right now, there's no reason to feel bad out there. you can see that the traffic is going to be okay if you are driving at the bay bridge. it's typical. it's backed up for about a 10 to 15 minute delay. and there have been no major issues here. as you drive over to the bridge, let's take a look at some other things here. oops. there we go. i want to see you. highway 24, no major issues here. so you'll be, trucking along from walnut creek to oakland, but 80, is a little slow already. from richmond to hercules, 601. let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, we now have brand new numbers this morning about the efforts to make the city of oakland

safer. >> according to the highway patrol, recent surges in officers is helping ktvu james torres joining us now with more from the governor's office and some of these numbers are looking pretty good for the town of oakland. >> just new to our newsroom earlier this morning, these surges from chp. they've been going on since february. and the numbers they're reporting may be good news for people in oakland. ever since chp launched a number of unannounced surges, likely with some fewer officers. and here are their results. in the last three months, officers have been able to recover 726 stolen cars, 46 guns linked to crimes and arrest 355 suspects on a number of different charges. >> we're focusing on people that are, you know, committing auto theft, you know, those that are involved in organized retail crime, those that are in violent crime, those are the things that are basically impacting the communities the most. >> chp helped explain how they're doing this. officers took analytics and data from their offices, as well as from

the oakland police department. they used that intelligence to target high crime areas and past news conferences, oakland mayor shengtao said. some of those areas include the hegenberger corridor, as well as the rockridge neighborhood. >> the communities need to have a feeling of safety and security, and make no mistake, that is one of our number one goals as it is with many different agencies. >> chp officials say their partnership with oakland pd, the alameda county attorney's office and other local agencies in the east bay helped make their success possible, adding they're unannounced surges of officers are still ongoing. no word on exactly how much longer that will last. additionally, governor gavin newsom's office continues to make investments into the safety of oakland and the east bay. next, we expect a network of about 480 cameras to be installed in the area, and they say that's to help identify criminals more promptly after a crime and arrest them faster and more accurately. pam.

>> all right. thank you. james, a substitute teacher in vallejo, was arrested after being caught on camera dragging a student out of a classroom. now, this is video taken on monday at elite charter school in vallejo. the video seems to show the substitute teacher trying to remove a 13 year old girl from the class. the student's family says it started after the teacher told the girl that she was not supposed to be in that classroom. school officials say the substitute teacher will not be allowed to come back to work, but the girl's family says more should have been done to help protect their child. >> be able to give me the teacher's name. and i was like, so baffled because how would you protect this guy's innocence? and you clearly didn't protect my niece? >> the student's family says the school did not call law enforcement, but instead the family had had to file a report. the substitute teacher was arrested yesterday and the investigation continues.

>> our time is now. 604 20. bay area children became ill yesterday afternoon after a chemical being used during training at a san francisco jail drifted in the air over to portola elementary school in san bruno. the sheriff's department says the chemicals, including pepper spray, were being used in a training exercise. those students and one adult who were affected did not have to be taken to the hospital. now, a spokesperson for the sheriff's department says it is pausing any future chemical training exercises while they review their practices. they also said, quote, this is an unprecedented situation that we take very seriously. we sincerely apologize to portola elementary school, its faculty and students, and their families for this unforeseen event, which must have been especially scary for children. >> well, new this morning. more relief is on the way for student loan borrowers. the biden administration announced it is

erasing another $7.7 billion in federal student loans, wiping the debt of 160,000 borrowers. the latest relief will go to certain borrowers enrolled in income driven repayment plans, and the public service loan forgiveness program. in total, the administration has canceled $167 billion in student debt for nearly 5 million americans. >> time is now. 605 rising tensions in san francisco between mayor london breed and one of her challengers in the november election, during yesterday's board of supervisors meeting. >> help me to understand what role are you looking to play in this operation and how does this have anything to do with your responsibility as the district 11 supervisor? i'm just interested in understanding that . >> well, respectfully, madam mayor, i'm also a citywide supervisor. we are citywide as well, and we are responsible for the charge of the entire city. so as i did with the trp site in

union square, nob hill area, we were directly involved in working with adult probation, working with the nonprofit, working with the property owner to try to collaborate to make it happen. so this supervisor is ready to do the heavy lifting. so if you're if you're directing your staff to work with us, we're happy to collaborate. >> now, mayor brees at her office is committed to sober living programs and that the city's invested more than $20 million in recovery programs based on abstinence in seven locations. >> in a symbolic and historic move, norway, ireland and spain announced that they plan to recognize a palestinian state. the countries joined close to 140 others that recognize an independent palestinian state. ireland's prime minister says the move is meant to bring an end to the war and make progress towards a two state solution. in response, israel immediately denounced the decision and called its ambassadors back from those three countries. >> our time is now 607.

singapore airlines now issuing an apology to passengers after yesterday's traumatic flight experience that left one man dead and more than 70 others hurt. the plane that left from london to singapore went through severe mid-air turbulence and caused that flight to plunge 6000ft in about three minutes. a 73 year old passenger died of an apparent or suspected heart attack. 143 passengers finally landed in singapore today after an emergency landing in bangkok. 71 people are still in the hospital and a lot of pain and it was quite scary. >> but yeah, i don't think i'll be flying again for a while. yeah, look, one huge loud noise. things were coming through the ceiling. water everywhere, people crying. yeah. it wasn't. >> it wasn't a fun. >> officials in singapore plan to launch a thorough investigation. the airline says

it will fully cooperate, pushing back against pickleball courts, the local town that's trying to come up with a solution that satisfies both sides. and it's a first in the heart of downtown san jose, a retail shop selling cannabis has opened for business with the locals there, say, about whether it's good for the city and the neighborhood

francisco harvey milk was born 94 years ago today. he was the first openly gay man elected to public office in california when, in 1977, he was voted on to the san francisco board of supervisors. in november of 1978, harvey milk was assassinated along with then san francisco mayor george moscone, by former supervisor dan white. just last sunday, a block party was held in the castro honoring the legacy of harvey milk. it is 612, a new retail cannabis shop has opened in downtown san jose. >> it's the first cannabis storefront to operate in the heart of downtown, and ktvu is andre senior joins us now with more on the hopes for what this could bring to the downtown scene. andre. >> well, good morning, blue. purple lotus opened its new location on east santa clara street this month. the cannabis shop has operated in san jose

since 2010, but for years, strict rules pushed businesses like these toward industrial parts of the city. that all changed last year, when the city eased regulations that prohibited dispensaries from operating within 1000ft of schools, daycare centers and community spaces. well, now the limit is 500ft, allowing cannabis shops to expand to busier parts of town. well it's better because it's super great because there's like the busses are right here and the light rail. >> and so even if you don't have a car, it's super easy to get to. >> the company's founder says san jose's highly regulated making running a store like this very costly. dispensaries have to pay a $140,000 licensing fee and a 10% cannabis business tax. they're also required to have surveillance and 24 hour security to keep the area safe. >> we have panic buttons throughout just in case anything goes down. we have an armed guard, 24 hours. >> these businesses also serve

as a healthy source of revenue for the city. in the last fiscal year, san jose collected more than $15 million in tax revenue from cannabis dispensaries, as the city is expected to earn even more over the next few years. pam. >> all right. thank you. andre. the san francisco department of public health is touting a pilot program that provides prescriptions and residential treatment for homeless drug users. health officials say people who are interested in treatment can receive a prescription from a telehealth doctor. the visit is followed by a place to sleep treatment then begins the next morning. during the program's first month in march, health officials say 173 people met with a telehealth doctor and nearly a dozen people have entered treatment at our time. >> now, 614 voters in san francisco may decide in november to lower the retirement age for san francisco firefighters. the firefighters who were hired after 2012 have a retirement age of 58, compared to age 55 for

firefighters who were hired before that time. that ballot initiative would move the retirement date to age 55 for all firefighters. the goal is to make sure that newer members of the fire department are not required to undergo three extra years of health impacts, and another ballot measure would try to help recruit and retain nurses and 911 operators. it would allow full time registered nurses to apply up to three years work as a temporary nurse, to be used towards their retirement credits. it would also provide 911 operators with the same retirement benefits as other first responders in san francisco. >> currently, right now we have a 20% vacancy in our 911 dispatch system. we are down 40 911 dispatchers, which is absolutely impacting our public safety response system. >> now, the measure still has to

be approved by the board of supervisors before it can be placed on the november ballot. >> all right. back over to sal. checking in on traffic. where are you starting sal? >> yeah. you know, right now we're looking at a commute that is actually pretty good. pam and dave, i for the most part like what i see. we've had just a little bit of slow traffic on northbound 680 at auto mall because of some police activity, but the rest of it looks pretty good. you know, westbound 24 looks good. 680 and get on the road soon. we don't want you driving down the road feeling bad. we want it to be nice and easy, right? and right now it is easy. if you are driving to most commutes. the bay bridge though, does have a bunch of slow traffic here. if you are driving to the toll plaza, but once you get onto the bridge, you'll be trucking into san francisco. 616 let's bring steve back in with today's weather, you know, so there are some viewers out there who have something in common

with you and me. >> that's a little touch of gray. >> yes, they or a lot of touch of gray or a lot of touch of gray. >> yes, i know it goes fast, doesn't it? all right. at least we have here, though. all right, coast and bay, this is a mini summer pattern here. yesterday was the warmest day since in beach, half moon bay, santa cruz, 50s and 60s. cordelia, antioch and pleasanton low to mid 80s. so yesterday was warmer. what's interesting about today? the record and high for the city is only 8519 4344 the record low 1909 going 65 52w average 6452. so you're right there. cooler pattern is on the way. it starts a little bit today. i think it'll really start to kick into lower gear or cooler gear, if you will. friday and saturday. although coast and bay water temps have come down and the point rays went up from 50 to 51, san francisco has gone down 5554. in monterey, that's outside the monterey bay aquarium. 54. that's cold water point arena 49. so it doesn't take the fog much to get going. once you get gets a little help and it's getting some help. i know it's not strong, but sfo,

hayward, livermore all with a westerly breeze in place, 40s for a few, 50s for most. we are running warmer than yesterday. low 50s circling the wagon. there at cupertino, saratoga, campbell, santa clara, right at 50. morgan hill, san martin, hollister 46 socal, santa cruz 50. boulder creek has dropped to a cool 41 that low up in the pacific northwest. we will see the western edge of that kind of settle over northern california. so more coast fog today. it'll still be sunny inland, but a little bit more of a breeze. cooling will really continue a little bit more tomorrow, that much more so friday into saturday. so your wednesday forecast, low clouds or otherwise clear. but there is a lot more low clouds today than we saw yesterday. it will be cooler coast and bay, still 80s inland. but yesterday again that's been the theme going back to april, about a day or two of some warm temps. then it comes right back down and that's what we're going to see in the friday, saturday. >> all right. thank you steve. it's an indication that california is succeeding in the battle against covid. what happened last month that had not occurred since the start of the

trial will have the week off

after trump's defense rested their case. however, for the court, the work continues. the judge now has to decide how to instruct the jurors as they weigh the evidence and whether to ask the jurors to consider if the payment to former adult film star stormy daniels would have been made. even if trump was not running for office, if the money would have been paid anyway, and the judge is willing to instruct the jury that way, that moves the ball a lot further towards the not guilty yard line. trump is still calling for the case to be thrown out for now. the jury is set to return tuesday to hear the defense and the prosecution's closing arguments. the state supreme court heard arguments on the constitutionality of proposition 22. it is the voter approved law that classifies rideshare and delivery drivers as independent contractors, rather than employees. >> it's a really fun thing to do . you meet a lot of interesting people, particularly here in the bay area. the bad thing is, is

20 years, and this has never happened. the training allows officers to test the safety of the equipment and get hands on experience with these chemical agents, so that they can prepare for real life situations. now, this happened just before 1:00 yesterday afternoon, so the elementary school was full. it's unclear exactly how many students or teachers it affected , but there are reports of at least 20 people affected by this . members of the sheriff's office also went to the school to explain what happened and to apologize, saying that this must have been especially scary for the children there. the department says they have now put a pause on this kind of training being done here until they can review it, look into their procedures and make sure that it is safe for people in the neighboring community in san bruno. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news thank you, amanda. >> new numbers this morning from the highway patrol highlight its efforts to improve safety in oakland since february. officers
