republican presidential candidate nikki haley says she'll vote for donald trump in november. >> i will be voting for trump. having said that, i stand by what i said in my suspension speech. trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continued to support me and not assume that they're just going to be with him now. >> this is the first time haley has publicly backed trump since she suspended her campaign back in march. she says she encourages trump to work hard to get those who supported her during the primary. the state senate has approved a bill that would require third party security companies like clear to set up their own lanes at the airport. the bill would prevent clear from using existing security checkpoints. instead, the company would have to make their own security lines and checkpoints at california airports. backers of the measure say it's not equitable to allow

fact that this did not occur during most of the commute time. in case you're just joining us, it was a deadly crash involving a pedestrian on westbound 580 at harbor. underneath the overpass. there on the way to the richmond bridge, heading over to marin. that commute shouldn't be affected too much. we've been looking at some of the other commutes. now while i have you, i do let you know that the traffic on 80 eastbound has recovered. after they cleared the construction zone between hercules and the carquinez bridge eastbound, there was a little bit of a backup there this morning that's been cleared. so they kind of did get that out of the way soon. highway 37 now also open for a while. we had some closures there. so we're getting kind of lucky when it comes to some of these closures. they kind of did go away before the main part of the commute. what i consider the main part of the commute is between, let's say, five and nine. so taking care of business here a little bit before that

bit. 6070s to low 80s. one more day of 80s. >> all right steve thank you times for 21. in mexico a stage collapsed during a political campaign rally, killing at least nine people. what caused that deadly collapse? and what we're finding out now about the victims, plus always came in with such a light, a beautiful smile, a great spirit. >> we show you the final goodbye to an alameda county sheriff's dispatcher ho was

what is happening in yemen, the killers of yemen or anywhere else, or north korea, anywhere else. >> now, this comes after a symbolic and controversial move by spain, norway and ireland. those three countries said they will now formally recognize palestine as its own state. those european nations see statehood for palestine as a way to end the war in gaza. but the united states shows no plans to follow their leads. the ktvu coverage of the israel-hamas war continues on the ktvu fox local app. it's a free download for your smart tv. >> nine people are dead after a stage collapsed at a campaign rally in northern mexico. a strong gust of wind damaged the stage during an event with a presidential candidate. we do have some video. we'll try to get to that in a moment, showing people they had to run for cover as that structure fell onto the stage and part of the audience

in the average number of tornadoes so far this year. >> clear skies out there for us here, very little fog, maybe teeny bit down towards santa cruz monterey. but even that looks pretty patchy at best. so it'll be sunny for all today. breezy. could be a few high clouds north, but no big deal. clear. cool in the morning to mild 40s and 50s. temps near average. lots of sun. breezy to blustery. i think temp breeze will pick up as this system slides into the north and east of us. santa rosa, livermore, redwood city, san jose temperatures dropping 80, 78, 7376. only a north wind is keeping santa rosa anywhere near the 80 degree mark. cooler pattern continues, especially as we go into friday and then leveling off saturday. although it's clear i'm hard pressed to buy any low cloud deck when temperatures continue to cool down, the support for it won't be there, but all the forecast models show some low clouds ramping back up where i haven't seen them yet. 40s 50s on the temps. i don't think these will change all that much here, but temperatures peninsula a little

cooler there. woodside atherton, menlo park, stanford, los altos 40, san carlos in there, pacifica, half moon bay as well. so 40s and low 50s, 30s in the mountains. truckee, south lake tahoe, mount shasta. also at 39 degrees, you can see the system swing in. now again, it's too far to the north, but the tail end of that, the southwest edge of it, will develop over us. and that equals lower pressure. so sunny today. breezy. and then that cooler temps will slide in as that system develops to the north and east of us. cooler breezy to windy and maybe a little bit of activity up in the mountains. that's the only really fly in the ointment. this forecast model still showing some drizzle, but cooler air aloft and cooler temps inland. it's hard pressed to find it, but 60s 70s to near 80. >> so the question would be for the defense. can you find jurors that might be more sympathetic to somebody who's got a mental illness? >> jury selection is now underway in san francisco for the state trial of david depape, the man accused of attacking

paul pelosi. the challenges that lie ahead for the case, and marijuana or alcohol. >> we'll tell you what a new study says about daily use o ma

i love that my daughter still needs me. but sometimes i can't help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands, so i use nervive. nervive's clinical dose of ala reduces nerve discomfort in as little as seven days. now i can help again feel the difference with nervive.

husband, paul, with a hammer. depape is facing charges of attempted murder, burglary and assault. >> the prosecution's got a video. this is a 21st century case. they have the crime actually recorded, visually. so the question would be for the defense. can you find jurors that might be more sympathetic to somebody who's got mental illness, who believes in a bunch of conspiracy theories? >> now, after an error in the sentencing to pappas due back in court next week to be resentenced in his federal trial, he was sentenced last week to 30 years in prison. experts say that's not likely to change during the resentencing, former oakland police chief leronne armstrong is running for city council. >> he filed paperwork to run for the seat currently held by rebecca kaplan. now in 2023, armstrong was fired by mayor shengtao after an outside

investigation concluded he had mishandled two police misconduct cases. he was later cleared of those allegations by an arbitrator. armstrong was popular during his time at the oakland police department, but his move for the city council seat has so far received mixed reaction, as i don't really think that there should be like police and government because they might be like biased, you know, i believe he will. >> like i said, he's, he did a good job when he was the chief, i think he was wrongfully fired, but, i think he'll do a good job . >> at least eight other candidates are seeking the seat, and more may file. >> our time is 445. the city of oakland reached an agreement to sell its share of the oakland coliseum. now, mayor tau announced that the city agreed to the terms of the african american sports entertainment group. aasg will buy it for $105 million. the goal is to redevelop the property to include affordable housing and entertainment and sports complex, and create more jobs.

death by about 50. >> now, more than 250 people have died from drug overdoses in san francisco since the beginning of the year, and that compares to when the city reported 275 overdoses in the same period last year. >> for the first time, the number of americans who use marijuana daily is higher than the number of people who drink every day, researchers say. the shift has been trending for about 40 years as recreational marijuana becomes mainstream and legal across the country, the survey found. in 2022, nearly 18 million americans used cannabis daily or almost every day. that compared to 15 million people who drink daily or almost every day. >> just a general repositioning of the substance in society so that it is less stigmatized or disapproved and also there's fewer literal risks of using in a criminal justice sense, but also, importantly, prices collapsed.

>> now, just to demonstrate how big of a turnaround that is, back in 90 1992, there were about ten times as many americans who drank every day compared to those who smoked weed. >> interesting. all right. time is 449. right back to steve paulson. thursday's weather and doesn't sound too bad. >> not at all. yeah looks pretty good here. temperatures continue to kind of trickle down, but sunny for all. breezy. temps near average, lots of sun. the breeze will pick up here. it's not too bad. mount diablo is the strongest 34mph, but most locations are under about 25 mile. tamalpais 24 howell mountains 17mph. cooler pattern, though, is saying i'm on the way and it started a little bit yesterday. more so today for sure. friday saturday before. it does look like somewhat of a rebound sunday into monday, a system a week. it's a dry cold front kind of going through, but that will pick up the breeze. 40s, 50s, mainly 50s on the temps for most locations 44 boulder creek, mid 40s. felton, scotts valley, socal, aptos and there hollister, san martin, morgan hill and then low 50s san

in las vegas is pairing first responders and veterans with dogs that need a home. rescue dogs for heroes has taken dogs off the streets and trained them to be service animals for years. now, they're gifting veterans and first responders with both service dogs and companions. a police officer and his wife became the first recipients of the program. they officially welcomed murdoch as their companion dog. >> well, he's had about 3 to 4 months of obedience training. we're very sad that he's leaving, but we're super excited that he's going to his new home. >> it's sometimes can be scary being an officer's wife just for a lot of different reasons, and it's nice to have a dog that looks that scary. >> even though murdoch is the first hero match for the organization, they do have many more dogs waiting to be trained and placed in homes. well, this week is queer and transgender asian pacific islander week. as we transition from aapi heritage month into pride month, san

francisco was the first city in the country to celebrate the week, passing a resolution in 2021. organizers say it is important to celebrate while also recognizing the discrimination that queer, transgender and aapi communities face. >> we are leading not only by cultural lives, by being both american and of asian and pacific islander descent, but we're also navigating what it means to be openly lgbtq. so the fact that we have to take these different lenses to our lived experience day in and day out honestly makes life a little exhausting at times, but it also makes it just so beautiful and so rich and vibrant. >> members of san francisco pride tell us they do find it exciting to see the next generation growing up, seeing their identities reflected more in television and in movies. san francisco recognized the life and work of the late civil rights activist harvey milk. yesterday would have been milk's

9490 fourth birthday. he was the first openly gay man elected to public office in california, when he was elected as san francisco supervisor in 1977. in november of 1978, milk and mayor george moscone were shot and killed by supervisor dan white. >> it was an equally strong advocate for renters, for workers as for people riding public transit and he was really critical in the idea that the gay liberation movement needed to build coalitions and fight in solidarity with other movements for rights and for justice, as right said, milk encouraged all people to speak up when the rights of others are under attack. >> teachers across the bay area were recognized at a luau themed celebration in oakland for good job. >> all right. we're looking. >> it was an event put on at the warriors oakland facility as part of a teacher appreciation month. guests enjoyed live

on record. and that's since they've been reporting that in 2000. on the roads, however, people traveling by car are likely to set a new record, with more than 38 million people planning a road trip, a triple a spokesperson says memorial day weekend will set the tone for travel for the rest of the year, especially the summer, and that could be promising. >> we haven't seen numbers like this for memorial day in nearly 20 years, not since 2005 that we've seen numbers this big, when we talk about the pandemic again, we're not just talking about pre-pandemic numbers. we are surpassing pre-pandemic numbers. so that tells you a lot about how people are viewing travel these days. >> in california, that number is about 4.5 million people traveling for the weekend by car. for airlines, tsa is expecting as many as 3 million people in a single day. that's likely to happen tomorrow. some popular hot spots on the plane florida, las vegas, denver, which is a new spot for triple

does not solve the problem by any means. we need to reform proposition 47, a separate efforts underway to repeal parts of prop 47. >> it was approved by voters in 2014. it reclassified felony thefts under $950 as a misdemeanor for a plan to require campaign advertisers to disclose i content goes before the fcc today. >> the chair of the federal communications commission says consumers have a right to know when ai tools are being used. now if approved, the rules would apply to broadcast television and radio ads, but not digital or streaming platforms. officials hope to have the requirements in place before the election. earlier this year, the fcc said. i voice cloning tools and robocalls like the ones used to replicate the voice of president biden are banned under existing law. mastercard is planning to use artificial intelligence to stop cyber criminals from accessing your credit and debit cards. the company says it's launching a

much as $100,000 was stolen from the contra costa county fair, while workers were on their way to deposit that cash at the bank. authorities say the theft occurred sunday morning in antioch, in the parking lot of the bmo bank branch on summersville road. employees with the county fair were going to the banks night deposit to deposit that cash. when someone held them up at gunpoint and stole the money, the president of the county fairs board of directors tells us. the cash came from fees for entrance to the fair and for parking. >> i don't know what the exact circumstances or they had a car or not, but apparently from what i saw in an email from the fair itself, was somebody walked up to the person or persons that were putting the money in the bank and put a gun up to their head. basically and then the rest is history. >> now, organizers of the county fair say they may have to cut

back on next year's plans for free fair activities just to help make up for the loss. there's no word yet from police on descriptions of whoever stole the money. >> emeryville police are investigating a stabbing that happened at a chick fil a restaurant. it happened about 230 monday afternoon at the location on 40th street. now, this is a photo of the suspect police say walked by the victim and cut their neck with an unknown object. police say they believe the attack was unprovoked. the victim only suffered minor injuries. officers say the suspect is a woman who was wearing a gray hoodie and sweats. anyone who knows anything about the case is being asked to call police. >> tom is now 508, a top attraction at pier 39 in san francisco. facing allegations of lavish spending causing a shake up at that attraction. the chronicle reports. george jacob, the ceo of the aquarium of the bay, was pressured to resign, but jacob claims he left the aquarium to pursue a new
