the incident the victim's lawyer is now releasing plus, it's very concerning that they are so vehemently opposing union testing. >> in this case. >> i don't think you can believe what he says. a contentious hearing in scott peterson's bid to get a new trial. >> the decision by a judge over dna testing and why both sides may consider it a bit of a win from ktvu. >> fox two news this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning i'm dave clark. >> it's thursday morning. it's may 30th. it's always a pleasure to see you. good to be here with you. >> i don't think it ever cooled down at our house last night. >> i don't think it did either either. steve's here with the forecast. this is garcia. kind of weather this morning. >> it is. >> did you flip on the ac? >> no. >> you didn't. >> have we met steve paulson? no, i'm not there yet. i'm not. you're not there yet. >> okay. all right. dave, did you know i haven't i did briefly briefly. all right. 50 is on the temps. that's a little haze around the city. that's not fog. that's haze. and a few high

clouds up above the cooler. temps have been on the coast. half moon bay golf course dropped to 43 this morning, except for a few high clouds. we're all set for a warm day. then came the last days of may and it's going to be warm to hot today. i do think it will be a little cooler tomorrow, but today we're going 70s 80, a few pushing upper 80s to near 90. you know, sal, i love the night because the commute is so much easier. but what about at 7 a.m? >> don't fear the bay bridge, steve. >> i don't fear that. >> all right, let's go out and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up for about a 15 to 20 minute delay. and so it is going to be slow as it normally is if you are driving there. there have been no major issues, however, i do want to let you know that traffic is going to be a little bit slow. let's talk about the east bay in general. we do have a nice looking drive on 580 westbound, but 880 south is a little bit slow as you drive from 238 into hayward, and you can see it's getting a little slower as you drive toward

fremont at 701. let's get back to the headlines. >> new this morning, a fire that burned for hours at a popular food court in the east bay is finally under control. firefighters say the chabot public lake chabot public market, though, is destroyed. ktvu james torres on the scene there in castro valley. james, i've been to this place and it was a gorgeous building. i love the mission inside all that appears to be gone now. >> that's right, garcia, and that's the message we're hearing from a number of folks who've walked by here just to check out the scene. we have also seen some vendors who have had their food sold from out of here, who are just now learning what's happened. many of them say they're too distraught to talk to us and tell us their stories, but certainly having the same reaction as anyone else here in the neighborhood. we'll show you and take you inside of the building here where we're getting a better look at just how much damage was done and really a lot of damage was done. you see the firefighters inside now who are able to safely be inside the building at this point, getting a better idea of the extent of the damage. and hopefully at some point an investigation will turn up. what

exactly caused this fire. but we'll show you what the fire looked like earlier this morning when crews got here at about 2:00 am. that was after someone called in the emergency. the firefighters aren't sure how long the building had been burning before they arrived. they tried fighting the fire from inside, but then they noticed the roof started to give. so out of an abundance of caution and safety, they pulled out and started spraying the water from above. at one point we had three different ladder trucks on here, just splashing water onto the building. we spoke to a battalion chief earlier this morning. he says this scene hits close to home. >> the owners, you know, childhood friend of mine, we grew up together, you know, went to high school together. so this is a pinnacle in the community, it's really sad to see this happen. we tried the best we could. we were in there for about an hour on the interior working, and the roof started to give way. and we had to pull out. >> we had our windows open, we smelled smoke, and then i looked outside and it was super hazy outside. so, i looked online and somebody had posted that, the

market was on fire. so we came down to take a look and it was fully engulfed in flames when we when we first got here around 345. >> yeah. we're hearing from people who live nearby. they say this is the place to go after a long hike in the east bay hills. it's a food court full of different options and vendors offering ramen, barbecue, desserts, a number of different things you can have here. firefighters still working on contacting each of the owners of the vendors who sell some of their product from this area. like i mentioned before, there was a gentleman who came by here who said that he was responsible for one of those restaurants where you could buy some of that food here. the firefighters say it's going to take them a long time to actually determine what started this fire. of course. still plenty of work here, lots of cleanup to do as well. and once we get those updated details, we'll bring them to you. we're live this morning in castro valley. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. okay, james thank you. >> time now 704. a man from

richmond filed a claim against the city of richmond and its police department, saying he was injured during an arrest back on may 5th, 44 year old kweisi guss says he was filming the police as they were arresting a suspect involved in a high speed chase. you're looking at police body cam video obtained and edited by mr. guss and his lawyer that was given to ktvu. the video shows police confront him, pinning him to the ground, then handcuffing him. according to mr. guss, they used unnecessary force, leaving him with a head injury, bruised ribs and back pain. >> he wasn't giving me any orders when he was pushing me. it was like a fight, combat, fight. i could feel my face literally cutting in the ground. >> the reason why this case is so troubling is that this was a cop who was out of control, who in many ways, is a throwback to an old period of time that i thought we had resolved. >> now, police arrested mr. guss for obstructing an officer. he was booked into jail and later

released. the claim filed by mr. guss alleges violations of freedom of speech, assault and battery, false imprisonment and other civil rights violations. the richmond police told ktvu the sergeant involved has been temporarily reassigned to an administrative role where he won't have contact with the public. a judge has has rejected almost all the requests from scott peterson's lawyers for new dna testing on evidence. >> as part of peterson's bid to get a new trial, the judge ruled that only one item will be retested for dna a piece of duct tape found on his wife lacey's body. the judge rejected the defense request for dna testing on a mattress found in a burned out van. prosecutors argued the defense was lying on pure speculation, had no proof the items it wanted tested were connected to the case. >> repeated lie after lie after lie after lie. so we're not saying, yeah, he's met this particular point because i don't think you can believe what he

says in all of my years, i have never had to litigate a dna motion to this extent, because dna is just a no brainer. >> it's very concerning that they are so vehemently opposing dna testing. >> in this case, peterson is expected back in court in july. >> our time is now 706. well, the jury is back in the courtroom in the new york criminal trial of donald trump. and just a little while ago, they sent their third note to the judge. they asked for several parts of his jury instructions to be reread. add to them. the jury is going through 34 charges against donald trump for falsifying business records to hide an alleged payment to adult movie star stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. >> mother teresa could not beat these charges. >> david pecker was the first witness for the prosecution, but the meetings between david pecker, michael cohen and trump's involvement are going to be critical as to the intent and knowledge of donald trump as to

the actions regarding the enquirer, david pecker, and, of course, the whole hush money issue. >> now, yesterday, the jury asked to rehear testimony from two witnesses, former trump lawyer michael cohen and former national enquirer publisher david pecker, about a 2015 meeting with donald trump. legal experts say that conversation is key to the prosecution's case. the jury, made up of seven men, five women and in order to either acquit or convict donald trump, the jury has to be unanimous. >> the city of berkeley is looking into adding a november ballot measure that could save the city's public library from cutting staff, programs and hours. the berkeley public library is pushing to get a stopgap library tax on the ballot that, if passed, would last 12 years or until repealed by voters. backers say the tax would bring in more than $5 million a year. the berkeley public library is funded only through taxes. library officials warn that as its expenses begin

to outpace revenue, an additional tax is needed to maintain operations. >> of course, the revenue that the library is able to collect is still increasing. however it is not increasing as quickly as we would need it to be. we'll certainly have to institute a hiring freeze, which really does impact staff. >> the city council has referred the proposal to the city attorney's office for a look. the council has until august 9th to get it on the november ballot. residents in north sunnyvale will be able to access the city's library resources closer to home by next year. it comes after the sunnyvale city council unanimously awarded $23 million to build the lakewood branch library and learning center. it's the city's first expansion of its main library services. the new library will be near a historically underserved low income community. the superintendent of library says the number of residents holding a library card has more than tripled since 2020. >> time now is 709, and we were

checking on a problem on the east shore freeway. we're also looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. we're going to start there, and you can see the traffic is backed up to the maze. the crash. we're talking about on interstate 80 is west 80 near central. traffic is slow from el sobrante also slow after that as you head down toward berkeley and the macarthur maze. and then highway four is slow. this commute is looking pretty typical, with slow traffic from hayward and union city, some slowing on the altamont pass, and highway 24 is getting crowded on the way to the tunnel. 710 let's go back to the desk. >> okay. thank you. sal. well, there was there have been five pers matchings in one east bay city. we'll tell you how one would be victim scared away the suspects and the new warning from the police. plus this is not because you know these big box retailers are feeling bad for us. >> their sales are down, price cuts at stores nationwide may

not be what they seem by some. >> experts say the retailers are misleading the plic in sa ey w

several of which were caught on security camera. >> ktvu. andre senior here in the studio to show you that video and tell us what to watch out for. >> span of them happening across

berkeley right now, something people have to look out for at this particular point, berkeley police say in each case, these criminals strike quickly and leave within seconds or just minutes. so far, there are no reports of any injuries connected to these, but they are frightening. of course, police tell ktvu there have been at least five similar purse snatchings at local gas stations in berkeley within the past week, all during daylight hours. surveillance video showing a black lexus you see right there pulling up to the victim's car at a shell gas station on university avenue last saturday morning. someone gets out of the passenger side of that lexus, opens a door to the victim's car and takes off with an item. that same thing happened the next day at a chevron gas station on telegraph avenue. >> she just mentioned that, you know, somebody stole the purse out of her car and she had asked if we had cameras on the pumps. you know, i informed her that we did. >> these crimes really have the appearance of being crimes of opportunity because they're they are happening in some cases, like 20 minutes, one after the other.

>> it's not just happening at gas stations either. police say on tuesday, a black sedan approached a parked car with a woman inside at the berkeley bowl west superm's parking lot. a person got out of the sedan and tried to punch and break the window of the victim's car, but the woman smartly honked her horn, scaring off the robbers. >> it's good to know, and i'll think about it the next time i park and look around more. that's a concern in broad daylight in a in a heavily trafficked place, a concern indeed. >> berkeley police say they have some leads in their investigating, but it's too soon to tell if these crimes are all connected. investigators say in each case, there are two people wearing masks in a black sedan. everyone advised to check your surroundings at all times and make sure your car doors are locked. >> dave okay, andre. thank you. time 715 eight students at a middle school in novato were arrested after a school fight went viral. the students, who were between 12 and 14 years

old, are accused by police of a targeted attack on two students who ended up in the hospital. now we have cell phone video from sinaloa, middle school with the parents, say is the latest violent incident on the campus. it happened friday right after lunchtime. police say a female student was targeted by this planned attack by a group of students. a second student who tried to stop the fight was also attacked. the eight students who were arrested were booked into the marin county juvenile hall on charges of conspiracy and felony assault. well, the city of oakley is making changes to some of its cannabis cultivation rules, as growers may see tougher penalties for cultivation. an excessive amount of these plants now, under the new rules, growers can be fined even more for each cannabis plant that's over. the six plant limit allowed by the state. now, this only applies to plants grown in unlicensed commercial grows. the new rules also

clarify how property owners can pass responsibility to tenants who may be running illegal grows. >> shoppers who've pulled back on their spending due to recent record inflation may be getting a bit of a break. walgreens is the latest major retailer to announce it's lowering prices on thousands of products following similar moves by walmart, target and amazon fresh. retail analysts say that companies are thinking of their own bottom line as consumers push back against high prices. >> make no mistake about it, this is not because you know, these big box retailers are feeling bad for us. their sales are down, so they need to do something and cutting prices in the in the beginning of this is the exact way that that they're going now, whether people are really seeing the savings is still undecided. >> when i look at the list of what the price reductions were at stores like target, for instance, i mean, they weren't

huge. it was like $0.50 off a pack of goldfish. >> retailers have seen slower sales to start the year compared to last year, due in part to those high prices. >> okay, gasia time now. 717. sal's right here. he's back. everybody behaving for you right now. sal >> yeah, i would say so. dave and garcia, good morning to you both. right now, we do have a typical delay at the bay bridge. everyone always wants to know about that. the bay bridge backed up to the maze. metering lights are on, this commute here on 80 is a little better. it's that crash we had at central has been moved to the side. i wouldn't suggest that this commute is burning for you, steve, but it is what it is. it's getting better, at least. and you can see some slow traffic on 880 south. westbound 92 is a little busy on the san mateo bridge. the dumbarton bridge is much better. and on the peninsula we don't see a lot. we're not going to ask a lot of questions. the bayshore and 280 are doing very well at 718. let's go to steve now. in

today's forecast. >> thank you, kind sir. appreciate that all right. if you were over on the coast and it's fog free, you might say man a little cool out there. well you would be right. half moon bay golf course dropped to 43 this morning. moss beach, 45 bodega bay, dylan beach, bolinas , socal, santa cruz and point reyes, all in the 40s, are cooler than inland temps. had a warm few days. i wouldn't call it a stretch. a stretch is 5 to 7, but a few days we'll top it out today and i think starts to decrease tomorrow. it really comes down on saturday. but for napa, downtown danville, redwood city, san jose, up we go. 88, 88, 85, 85. although there really are some subtle differences. i'll show you in just a second here. going 72 in the city, low of 53. average 6552. jog your weather memories. if you were here in 2001 on this date, it was darn hot. the city 101 degrees. santa rosa was 100 degrees. sfo was 95 and oakland 94. the record low 47 1899. look at those water temps 4949, 51,

52, 53. that is really cold water. so i think fog is in our near future 40s, 50s, 60s on the temps. although vacaville had a much more stronger north wind yesterday, not so much today a little south wind at fairfield, south wind at concord, a little west wind at santa rosa airport. so some subtle changes today. it'll still be warm to hot temperatures bumping up here. i think it will end up with a lot of mid upper 80s inland. this will be the hottest day, i think tomorrow we'll start to see a little cooler pattern and look at this for late sunday into monday. a little system sweeping by. it's after next tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday. there's some significant differences. i'm a i'm a rogue forecaster saying i'll believe it when it happens. but some indications that will get hot, others saying not so fast. so we'll see. i'll deal with it next week. warm hot today. sunny and warmer near 90. well well inland. most locations will be in the 80s to upper 80s 60s, 70s over by the water cooler tomorrow. much cooler going into the weekend. >> steve. thank you. efforts to

fight so-called deepfakes are advancing at the state capitol. what the proposal would mean for that a.i. technology. >> also, the biggest city in north america, could run out of water in a month. we'll tell you about th dro crisis

could run out of drinking water by june 26th, which some residents were already calling

day zero. mexico city has struggled for decades to bring enough water to its 9 million residents. the current water situation is a combination of leaky pipes, three years of low rain and high temperatures, mexico city's water network is now down to 28% capacity. >> our time now 723. the city of berkeley, now required to test soil and groundwater from an old landfill. now, the order follows a recent discovery by the regional water board. they think more than 11 tons of industrial waste may have been deposited at the former berkeley landfill that is now cesar chavez park, between 1960 and 1971, city leaders say the required testing is precautionary and that all regulatory requirements have been met. that testing is expected to be completed during the next several months. well, today the international bird rescue will release the first group of rehabilitate brown pelicans back into the wild. they were among hundreds found

starving since the middle of april. scientists say these birds are having problems finding food because they just can't reach it. the fish are either too deep or too far offshore. that causes the birds to become anemic and dehydrated. often they're injured because hungry pelicans take extra risks to get to food. >> the biden administration announced the recipients of the epa's 2023 clean school bus program rebate competition. some bay area school districts made the list. the epa selected about 530 school districts nationwide. they'll split nearly $900 million to replace older, diesel fueled school busses that will place them with more than 3400 clean school busses, 92% of which will be electric, 47 california schools will be receiving that money here in the bay area. they include the san mateo union high school district, the old adobe union district up in sonoma county, and alameda unified. >> time now 724. the oakland city council held a special session. they adopted a

resolution honoring two high school state championship teams. >> we are so excited. i see you over there, ladies. >> very happy. well, both the oakland high school women's basketball team and the oakland technical high school boys basketball team won titles. back in march, the city council honored student athletes last night for their work on and off the court. >> i want to commend you on just the stellar, athleticism that you have shown in your field. just the student athletes that you are with, everything that you've been contending with in school and academics. >> now, the oakland tech team had a conflict. they weren't able to attend this ceremony, but the oakland high school wildcats were there to get gifts from the golden state warriors and the valkyries. as it is, 726 is back to court again for the man who's already been convicted once for attacking the husband

of nancy pelosi. we'll hear from david depapes lawyers as his state case begins new efforts to stabilize the home insurance market in california. >> what the governor wants to do and wh some

tall in the east bay. we have the latest on this huge fire fight to get it under control. and another day of online classes for students at uc santa cruz by organizers of that encampment there. that's blocking entrances to the university. say they're not moving. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it is thursday may 30th. we're in the time of year steve paulson when a lot of elementary, middle and high schools are having their graduation as we all use the program to fan ourselves in the late afternoon sun. what are people dealing with? >> hasn't been too bad. this i mean, lately. we all get a little pop today. i think it cools down into the weekend. next week is the big question who could get hot really hot here? or maybe not. there's not

a consensus on it, so we'll deal with it next week. for today though, everyone will get in on the warm category. a little bit of haze out there, 50s on the temps here. only fog i can find is down just around there towards the monterey bay. but boy there's not much there, although i do expect it to make a return. maybe tomorrow. then came the last days of may and that's going to be a warm one, no doubt. lots of sunshine, hazy sunshine, maybe a late breeze, 70s, 80s to a few, maybe near 90. well, let's see if the track, if traffic, if we're going through the motions or if there's something else going on. >> this commute in marin county. steve is coming back with a vengeance. southbound 101. it had been pretty good, but now we have a crash out by 101 right near the novato narrows and that means people coming out of petaluma heading south are going to be in for a backup here. and then a little farther south from 37 down to central san rafael. we do have a problem. you can see the bay bridge is backed up all the way out to the maze. that's very typical delay. and if you're driving on 80

westbound slow from el sobrante to berkeley, because of earlier issues, highway four and 680 are also slow. in contra costa county, 731 let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, new this morning, a big fire that burned for hours. and the castro valley area at a popular food court. it's under control now. a firefighters say the lake chabot public market has been destroyed. ktvu is james torres. you've been out there in castro valley for hours. what's the very latest out there? >> well, firefighters have a pretty good handle on the scene here. it's not much of a fire left, and they've taken down a rather broken down some of what the response originally brought out here. we'll show you what we can see behind me. you can see the water still splashing onto the front part of the building, certainly inside the building as well. at one point firefighters had three ladder engines that they had shooting from three different ladders onto the building. they've broken it down to just one now. and now they feel comfortable enough that they can walk in and out of the building, kind of carve out some

of the debris inside and take a better look at actually what started this fire. we'll show you what it looked like a little earlier this morning. this was around 2 a.m. when firefighters first got here. someone called in that emergency and firefighters are telling us they're not really sure how long the building had been burning before they arrived. now, they tried fighting the fire from inside, but notice the roof started to give. so out of safety they pulled out and started spraying the water from above. we spoke to a battalion chief earlier this morning. he says this scene hits close to home. >> the owners, you know, childhood friend of mine, we grew up together, you know, went to high school together. so this is a pinnacle in the community, it's really sad to see this happen. we tried the best we could. we were in there for about an hour on the interior working, and the roof started to give way. and we had to pull out. >> we had our windows open, we smelt smoke. and then i looked outside and it was super hazy outside. so, i looked online and somebody had posted that, the market was on fire. so we came

down to take a look and it was fully engulfed in flames when we when we first got here around 345, people who live nearby say this is the place people go after a long hike in the east bay hills. >> it's a basically a big food court, full of a variety of different vendors. we have talked to a couple of those vendors who are showing up here this morning. one woman says that she owns the poke bar inside, that she was actually really looking forward to a summer of sales this week in particular, because of some of the better weather we've seen, she said. has been really great for her small business, but now she thinks it's something that they're going to have to shutter for at least a couple of months, if not for good. we'll hear more from her coming up in the next half hour. in the meantime, the firefighters say it's going to be a long time before we find out what exactly caused this fire. we'll let you know when they give us those updates. we're live from castro valley this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james thank you. consumer watchdog group say that insurance will become even more

expensive in california under a plan unveiled by governor gavin newsom. the governor says the state needs to let insurance companies raise rates more quickly. otherwise more carriers will leave our state. ktvu rasmus live here with details on the governor's plan and what it will likely mean for california. >> well, garcia, the governor's proposed changes apply to all types of insurance from homeowners, businesses. anyone who owns a car or a boat. he sent this proposal to statese their rates more quickly and with less time for public review. now, the governor says this will cut out some of the red tape and make it easier for insurance companies to do business in california. but one consumer advocacy group says it's just going to make things more expensive and make it easier for insurers to increase their prices. now, under the governor's proposal, state insurance officials would have just 60 days to review and approve any proposed price increases from insurance companies. right now, that process can take up to two years. now, the group consumer watchdog also warns that there's nothing in the proposal to guarantee insurers will actually

provide more coverage and start offering new policies again. >> that will make it harder for the public to protest and challenge improper rates and practices. people who want want our elected officials to do their job and need to contact their local legislators and say enough is enough. >> we've been hearing for months now that insurance companies are leaving california and leaving homeowners in the dark. state farm recently announced it would not be renewing more than 72,000 policies in the state. the city of orinda topped the list of cities in california of losing policies, with more than 1700 homeowners not having their state farm policy renewed this year. more than 30 years ago, california voters passed proposition 103. it set limits on the amount insurance rates could go up. now, the governor's office says his plan doesn't change that part of what? prop 103? but it does shorten the amount of time the state will have to study the impact of any proposed insurance price increases, as the consumer

advocacy group consumer watchdog says that will end up making all types of insurance more expensive for everyone. homeowners, businesses and car insurance. now the governor wants state lawmakers to add his insurance plan to the overall state budget bill. the state budget must be approved by june 15th. dave, back to you. >> okay, allie. thank you. time 737 as tools for ai become more powerful and widely available, state lawmakers want to crack down on people who use those tools to create deep fakes involving politics and adult content. they're debating now several bills to deal with these problems. one bill would ban using deceptive deep fakes in most ads within the months that surround election day, the other bill would make it illegal to possess or distribute sexual content generated by ai, showing children, even if it's not showing a real person. well, in san francisco, the mission district is expected to be the first place where san francisco

begins its public safety camera system and installing them. the police department wants to install cameras at the high crime areas like 19th and mission streets, and 24th and mission. the cameras are part of the extra police surveillance in proposition e that voters approved in march. the cameras would be installed at fixed locations. they would record streets, sidewalks or common areas of public housing complexes. that video would be kept for 30 days unless it's part of a continuing investigation. there will be public meetings before the cameras are installed, and an evaluation will be given to the board of supervisors every year. >> medical experts are expected to take the stand today in the state trial against david depape. in the first day of testimony, jurors heard from four san francisco police officers who responded to calls of that october 2022 break in at the home of congresswoman nancy pelosi. prosecutors say that her husband, paul, was asleep when depape broke through a glass

patio door and confronted him in the bedroom, demanding to see the congresswoman. the defense is expected to argue that depape suffers from mental illness, which caused him to act on an elaborate conspiracy fantasy. >> this is more like attempted murder requires a specific intent to kill, if at the worst it could be attempted voluntary manslaughter. if he did not have the state of mind necessary to intend to kill him with a level of malevolence, legal experts say the prosecution is moving quickly with its case and say at this pace, the trial could wrap up next week. >> your time now, 739 today, another day of online classes at uc santa cruz after pro-palestinian protesters blocked the main entrance to the university yesterday, the west entrance of the campus reopened after a blockade was removed, even though there were still rocks, boulders and fake blood around that area, university

city officials have safety concerns, but the protesters say they're focused on keeping the attention on the crisis in gaza. >> we're still located at the base of campus with our, but we've decided to stop here as well. so say no more business as usual that this is a genocide. and all eyes need to be on it now. >> tomorrow classes at uc santa cruz may once again be online. if the campus protests continue. >> let's get out the door here. 740 a number of issues. you're watching south, that's right. and we do have a new crash in marin county on southbound 101, right near the narrows there near the dump, southbound 101. traffic is slow coming down to that crash or moving it out of the way. and then again, it's slow. from novato to central san rafael bay bridge backed up to the maze metering lights are on. nothing unusual about that. and then you see highway four and 680 or slow 80, still very slow from el sobrante into berkeley

because of earlier issues. we've also been looking at some of those east bay commutes, like 24 heading into the tunnel. it's getting slow when we come back in a little bit, we'll check in with that south bay commute. but now let's bring steve paulson back in with today forecast. actually, let's go back to the desk. steve will be here in a little bit. okay. >> let's go ahead and continue a conversation. yeah. we were having on a report that we just brought you on the home insurance market here in california. andre senior is in the newsroom with that. yeah. >> ali just broke down that story for you this morning. we want to hear from you. we've been talking about insurance companies in california and the need to get a handle on rising costs. so we're asking you, has homeowners insurance impacted you recently? yes. you can't find coverage? yes. premiums have jumped or not yet. you can scan the qr code on the top of your screen or go to ktvu .com/ vote to voice your opinion. we l be right

governor newsom says he wants to make sure that california residents can benefit from it. the governor went to a special ai summit in san francisco, bringing together politicians, ai researchers and industry leaders to talk about the future

of ai. the governor talked about harnessing the power of generative ai with regulatory guardrails. >> i don't want to cede this space to other states or other countries. so if we overregulate if we overindulge, if we chase a shiny object, you know, we could put ourselves in a perilous position. >> now, the governor also said there are about 20 different bills that have been proposed about ai technology. he's expected to play a key role as a gatekeeper as those bills move closer to his desk ahead of a september 30th deadline. well, this is just for gasia. if you're thinking about taking a big cruise this summer, you may be in luck and you may be able to save some money. >> okay, now you have my ear. a big bay area company is also having an impact on wall street this morning. pam cook is back in studio with dollars and cents. >> yes, talking about salesforce this morning. stock down close

to 20% right now. the san francisco tech company still making money, still very successful. but software sales have slowed. revenue came in lower than analysts expected. it's having its worst day on wall street since about 2004. now, as that bell rings, this morning, kohl's stock dropped 22% after posting a disappointing quarterly report. revenue came in much lower than analysts expected. however, kohl's reports its partnership with sephora in store has been very successful. we talked about abercrombie yesterday. well, today foot locker also saying that their turnaround is showing signs of life. but as we go to the dow jones, salesforce definitely having an impact on the blue chip stocks. the dow jones down one full percentage point now 386 points. the s&p 500 down close to a half of a percent. the nasdaq down close to a little more than half of a percent. amazon is expanding its partnership with food delivery company grubhub. amazon prime

customers will now be able to order food with grubhub directly through the amazon app, and prime members will get free delivery on certain orders with an automatic free grubhub plus subscription. it's part of amazon's efforts to grow its prime membership program. of course, amazon owns 2% of grubhub. that stake could increase, though, to as much as 15% in the next few years. if you are planning a summer cruise, you may be in for a price break. royal caribbean carnival and norwegian cruise lines are all lowering their summer prices because they have more ships headed for popular destinations in the caribbean and alaska. cruise lines are also addressing safety issues. they're changing some of those ship routes because of regional political tensions, and mcdonald's wants to set the record straight on reports that they are hiking prices. a top company executive published an open letter pushing back against claims. the fast food chain has raised prices by more than 100. now prices are up, but not by

that much. the price of a big mac meal today is about $9.30. that's $2 more, about 27% higher than 2019. the price for a 1010 piece mcnuggets meal increased by about 28. but medium french fries they saw the biggest increase, up 44% over that same time period. i'm pam cook, that's a look at your dollars and cents cam. >> thank you. researchers have new recommendations for spaying or neutering pet dogs. scientists at uc davis say that certain breeds are more at risk for cancer and joint diseases linked to a dog being neutered too early. research started with golden retrievers in 2013. now, researchers have added 39 other breeds to the study. they find some breeds, such as golden retrievers and beagles, should not be neutered earlier than 12 months of age. others, including german shepherds, shouldn't be neutered before they're two years old. >> these were breeds where we had the information on the birth date, the neuter date, if the dog was neutered, and full diagnostic criteria about joint disorders and cancers, and what

we learned was that with these five breeds, they had very specific effects of neutering, depending on their age. >> we have a link to the full list of recommendations for 40 breeds on our website. head to ketv.com and click on web links. >> okay, garcia, it's now 749, right back to sal castaneda checking our thursday morning commutes? >> all right, dave and garcia right now. westbound 24 is a little bit slow as you head over to the tunnel. it's also slow on 680 and highway four. that's not unusual for it to be that slow at this time of the morning. let's talk about some of the other commutes nearby. six, 80 and four, but also in west contra costa county. we have the slow traffic from hercules all the way to berkeley. we had an earlier crash that was partly to blame. we promised you. looks like i went in reverse and needed to go to the south bay, or at least to the san mateo bridge, and you can see that

commute is looking okay if you're driving on the dumbarton bridge, that traffic is okay. south bay commute. every single freeway is filled in. it's not as bad as it was yesterday when we had a bunch of problems, but today it's more of a normal, slow commute that you would typically see as you approach 8:00 in the valley. 749 let's talk about today's weather here. steve. >> maybe i missed it. novato narrows same worse. >> yeah, they moved that crash to the shoulder on 101. but if you're driving out of petaluma, steve, it's going to be a little longer for your trip to novato. >> all right, i'll tell my driver. thank you, sir. all right. coastal chill. what? yeah. when it's fog free, those temps drop right on down. half moon bay briefly dipped to 43. moss beach, bodega bay, dylan beach, bolinas, socal, santa cruz and point reyes all between 43 and 49 degrees. a warm few days. i don't want to call it a stretch. a stretch is 5 to 7, but a warm few days and today will be the warmest. i think fog pours back in pretty good tomorrow. coast and bay. so

today will be the warmest day. even though the north wind is really not there. it was more prevalent yesterday than it is today, but we'll still go mid to upper 80s for most now. the cities always tricky. we go 72 today, the lowest 53 average 6552. so above on both were you were you here in 2001? oh it was hot 101 in san francisco. santa rosa was 100 degrees. sfo was 95. oakland 94. all record highs for the day back in 2001. look at those cold water temps though. point arena, point reyes, san francisco, bowie, half moon bay, denham monterey fog is itching and raring to go. i think tomorrow it'll make an appearance today. not much 50s and 60s on the temps, unless you're well inland. they're already warming up pretty fast, but there's that. north wind seems to be gone for most santa rosa west. we'll see if it holds fairfield south. they turned northerly yesterday. so a little bit of a different twist here today. overall though, the high builds in for the hottest day today. kind of hazy out there. still warm inland tomorrow. but i think cooler coast and bay. and look at this coming in sunday monday a little bit of

activity to the north now. all eyes will be on wednesday to next friday. there are some saying it will be soaring heat, others are saying, well we'll see because there's not a consensus. so we'll tackle it next week. warm to hot today. sunny and warmer here. hazy skies near 90. well well inland. so 6070s. upper 80s to near 90 for some. tomorrow though. does look a little cooler and then a lot cooler on saturday. >> steve thank you. a warning about an intense year of mega storms just ahead of the start of hurricane season in the atlantic. new at eight will give you an inside look at the hurricane hunter pilots and their work to give people more crucial time to evacuate. then two mountain lion sightings in one morning in one part of the bay area. what police are telling residents not to do to protect their children and pets.

accused of assault, was arrested after barricading himself in a south bay home. it happened yesterday afternoon. santa clara county sheriff's deputies rushed to that call. the assault happened near the vta's children's discovery museum station shortly after the suspect barricaded himself in a nearby home on willis avenue. people in the area said they're happy to hear he was arrested a couple of times. >> you know, he would come in our you know, our backyard, you know, like trespassing and

everything, like trying to start problems. he came at my father in law with a knife before for so you know, it's like. and then by the time we came outside, he was already running back to his house. >> we seen him walking down here once in a while with the dog, but this is the first time we see him really aggressive now. >> so far, police haven't confirmed how the victim was injured or the extent of his injuries. it is. 756. a key committee of california lawmakers approved a ban on forced outing policies at schools. it's the first formal debate on this legislation. the bill would ban school district policies that force teachers and staff to report students who identify as transgender to their parents and yesterday, some parents, as well as lawmakers, spoke out during a two hour hearing. >> maybe 1955 is misnamed and it should be called school secrets act, because that's what it is. if it passes, children will be adversely harmed. schools should

not keep secrets about children's acute distress with their body forced outing policies that require exposing students without their consent harms everyone's parents, families and school staff, and importantly, those students. >> now, this bill now goes to the senate health committee. neighbors in milpitas on the lookout. after getting reports of two mountain lion sightings within a few miles of each other. one sighting was caught on camera yesterday right here in the friendly village mobile home park. after that, mountain lion roamed through the neighborhood, police tried searching for it, but they couldn't find it. then around 4 a.m, there was a second sighting just two miles away on fair meadow way. now as brief as those sightings were, that's enough to concern the neighbors there. >> i've been in this community in the last 24 years, and, it's just really surprising surprises to find out that there's a mountain lion on the loose, because there's a lot of kids

out in this community. i think that maybe they come back looking for food or something. >> now, the police recommend, if you have a small pet, bring it inside and don't leave any food, including pet food, outdoors. yes it is. 758. a recently announced rave planned for this saturday outside of san francisco city hall is already sold out. the fans grabbed all the tickets almost immediately so they could see skrillex and fred again. two electronic music artists. now the rave will be in civic center plaza this saturday night. some street closures in that area have already started, and according to social media, the set up has already started at civic center plaza. a lot of fans who weren't able to get a ticket say they plan to listen to the outdoor performance outside of the barriers and outside lands music festival released its daily lineups for this year's festival in golden gate park. the killers and

jungle are just a couple of the big names headlining friday night on saturday, taking the stage, tyler, the creator, the postal service and yes, grace jones. and on sunday, sturgill simpson and many others will close out the three day festival post malone is also scheduled for a special country set sunday night single day tickets. they go on sale today at 10 a.m. >> i come here a lot, there's a lot of restaurants in there. it looks devastating. >> well, firefighters still working this morning, hours after a fire destroys a market and food hall in the east bay. live in castro valley with why this was such a personal ordeal for some. and an east bay man filing a claim against a city accusing police of using unnecessary force. the video of the incident the victim's lawyer is now releasing. plus this. >> it's very concerning that they are so vehemently opposing

dna testing in this case. >> i don't think you can believe what he says. >> a contentious hearing in scott peterson's effort to get a new trial. the decision by a judge over dna testing, and why both sides may be considering it a bit of a win from ktvu. >> fox two news this is mornings on two. >> welcome to mornings on two at 8:00. as you look live at the san francisco skyline this morning, we do have some fog in the air and warmer temperatures are on tap. thank you so much for joining us. i'm andre senior. >> good to have you back. >> yeah good to be back. >> it's a thursday may 30th. we had to round out this may gray before we head into june gloom. let's see. are things going to be a little bit warmer than andre would like probably this afternoon? >> well, i think he has what we call the tropical depression. yeah. yeah it was it warm over there 8586. >> yeah it was it was definitely warmer over there a little bit more humid than normal. but it was fun. it was only you know, it's just vacation. >> you're on vacation. it doesn't matter. all right. 5060 on the temps. a little haze out

there, i'll say only fog i can find kind of a little bit flirting with santa cruz, but most of it's down towards the monterey bay. and, boy, that's not much. i think tomorrow though, it does come back. then came the last days of may, that's for sure. it's going to be a hazy day and warm to hot, but we really don't have a strong breeze at all. so i just will go sco a 70s 80s to a few upper 80s, maybe inland a couple of low 90s. all right. sounds here and see if that traffic is better or worse. man, i saw a lot of a lot of red down there in the south bay. >> yeah. this south bay commute is back with a vengeance. steve, as you drive on two 8101, i think yesterday, after all those problems, some people said, you know what, i'm going to take the meetings from home today. everyone seems to be back. it just seems that way. it's not everyone, but, you know, it seems that way. bay bridge is backed up to the maze metering lights are on and if you are driving on the 680 or highway four, we do have a bunch of slow traffic there waiting for you. 801 let's get back to the headlines. >> lots of problems on the roads. and we also have an issue down in castro valley right now. new this morning an hours long fire burning at a popular food

court. this is what it looked like early this morning. the flames shooting through the roof. well it is now under control. but firefighters say the lake chabot public market is destroyed. james torres is in castro valley right now with the latest details on this story. james, what do we know so far? >> yeah, you know, there's still some traffic concerns in the area. andre good morning to you here. lake chabot avenue still closed at this point at quail avenue. that's right in front of the lake chabot public market that we see right behind us here . the fire pretty much done with at this point. not much more that officers or firefighters can do in putting out flames. it doesn't seem like they're seeing much of a threat from hot spots anymore, but you can see the damage left behind. people who make their living selling food from this market are starting to learn about what happened they'g

much of a threat from hot spots anymore, but you can see the damage left behind. people who make their living selling food from this market are starting to learn about what happened the lt public market, one of seven vendors in the building. she says she and her mom work on the restaurant together and have two employees hired to help them. they've only been in the space for nine months, and they say while this is a large loss for the community, having this fire strike right before the peak of summer is an even bigger loss financially for them. >> user is like the summer is the most popular time and the most busy time. so because in

the winter it was quiet and then i was like in march, the business catching up and actually yesterday to yesterday we did great. >> we'll show you again what the fire looked like earlier this morning. crews got here around 2 a.m. after someone called in the emergency, though firefighters aren't sure how long the building had actually been burning before they arrived. they tried fighting the fire from inside, but then noticed the roof started to give. so out of safety they pulled out and started spraying water from above with three different ladder engines. they've since broken that down and people who live nearby say this is the place to go. after a long hike in the east bay hills, the pretty sad to see a look in the state that it's in this morning. firefighters tell us it's going to be a while until they determine what actually caused this fire, though. a couple of those on scene tell me they are honing in a little bit about where in the building it may have all started. we're live

this morning in castro valley. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news. >> james thank you. 804 is your time this morning and happening now. a man from richmond filed a claim against the city of richmond and its police department, saying he was injured during an arrest. now, on may 5th, casey gus says he was filming the police as they were arresting a suspect involved in a high speed chase. this is body cam video obtained and edited by the 44 year old and his attorney. that was given to ktvu. now, the video shows police confronting him, pinning him to the ground and then handcuffing him. according to gus, they used unnecessary force, leaving him with a head injury, bruised ribs and back pain. >> he wasn't giving me any orders when he was pushing me. it was like a fight combat, fight. i could feel my face literally cutting in the ground. >> the reason why this case is so troubling is that this was a cop who was out of control, who in many ways, is a throwback to an old period of time that i thought we had resolved. >> now, police arrested mr. gus

for obstructing an officer, and he was booked into jail and later released the claim filed by mr. gus alleges violations of freedom of speech, assault and battery, false imprisonment and other civil rights violations. richmond police tell us the sergeant involved has been temporarily reassigned to an administrative role, where he will not have contact with the public. >> a judge has rejected almost all the requests from scott peterson's lawyers for new dna testing on evidence. as part of peterson's bid to get a new trial, the judge ruled only one item will be retested for dna a piece of duct tape found on his wife lacey's body. the judge rejected the defense request for dna testing on a mattress found in a burned out van. prosecutors argued the defense was relying on pure speculation. had no proof the items it wanted tested were connected to the case. peterson is expected back in court in july. >> well, happening today, the jury in the new york criminal trial of donald trump is back in court. when they convened this morning, they sent their third

note to the judge asking you to rehear his instructions to them before they began deliberations. the jury right now is rehearing those instructions, along with part of the testimonies of two key witnesses. former trump lawyer michael cohen and former publisher of the national enquirer, david pecker. the jury is going through 34 charges against trump to falsifying business records to hide an alleged payment to adult movie actress stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. >> mother teresa could not beat these charges. >> david pecker was the first witness for the prosecution, but the meetings between david pecker, michael cohen and trump's involvement are going to be critical as to the intent and knowledge of donald trump as to the actions regarding the enquirer, david pecker, and of course, the whole hush money issue. >> legal experts say the conversation between pecker and cohen are key to the prosecution case. the jury is made up of seven men and five women. in order to acquit or convict trump, the jury has to be

unanimous. san mateo county's homeless population has increased over the past two years. data from the one day homeless count conducted in january found more than 2100 people experiencing homelessness. that's an 18% increase from the same count conducted back in 2022. this report is mandated every two years by the department of housing and urban development. officials say the data helps determine where to allocate resources. >> the city of berkeley is looking into adding a november ballot measure that could save the city's public library from cutting staff, programs and hours. the berkeley public library is pushing to get a stopgap library tax on the ballot that would, if passed last 12 years or until repealed by voters. backers say the tax would bring in more than $5 million a year. the berkeley public library is funded only through taxes. library officials warn that as its expenses begin to outpace revenue, an additional tax is needed to maintain operations. >> of course, the revenue that the library is able to collect is still increasing. however, it is not increasing as quickly as

we would need it to be. we'll certainly have to institute a hiring freeze, which really does impact staff. >> the city council has referred the proposal to the city attorney's office. the council has until august 9th to get it on the november ballot. residents in north sunnyvale will be able to access the city's library resources closer to home by next year. this comes after the sunnyvale city council unanimously awarded $23 million to build the lakewood branch library and learning center. it's the city's first expansion of the main library services. the new library will be near a historically underserved low income community. the superintendent of libraries for the city says the number of residents holding a library card has more than tripled since 2020. >> well, drivers on 19th avenue in san francisco, one of the city's busiest roads, should expect delays today because of pavement repairs. caltrans is closing two lanes of northbound 19th avenue between sloat boulevard and travel street between 9:00 this morning and 3:00 this afternoon. the far

right lane will stay open. neighbors say it's about time that potholes are patched up on this road owned by the state. >> a lot of the traffic noise is from cars going over a bumpy surfaces. >> it hits you a lot more on the motorcycle than would on cars. >> a couple of weeks of discomfort will drastically improve the pace of people coming through the area. >> today's repairs follows a two year joint city and state project that was completed last year to replace aging utility equipment and improve traffic lights for pedestrian safety. caltrans will once again close this area for one day in june to finish lane striping work. >> time is 810 right now. we have a bunch of things going on in the commute. first of all, we're going to the north bay southbound 101 near the novato narrows. there's a crash. it's going to be slowing you just as you get out of petaluma and head down south. and also from 37 to central san rafael, 80 is slow. we also do have some slow traffic approaching the bay bridge, which is backed up to

the maze. we have a crash in livermore westbound 580 at north livermore avenue and just blocking two lanes there. so all of a sudden, if you're coming in over the altamont pass, there is one more slowdown you have to deal with. and then we also have some slow traffic this morning on highway four and still 680 still there. so there's a there are a bunch of things still going on this morning at the commute. please give yourself a little extra time. 810 let's go back to the desk, sal. >> thank you. and one east bay city. there have been five similar purse snatchings how one would be victims scared away the suspects and the warning from police. plus this is not because you know these big box retailers are feeling bad for us. >> their sales are down. >> price cuts at stores across the country may not be what they seem. while some experts say that retailers are misleading the public in saying they want to fight inflation.

( ♪ )

mugs. ♪ bmo ♪ several incidents were recorded by security cameras, and they have striking similarities here. last saturday, a black lexus sedan pulled up to the victim's car at a gas station on

university avenue. someone came out of the passenger side of the lexus, opened a door to the victim's car, grabbed an item and took off. the same thing happened on sunday at a chevron station on telegraph avenue. >> just mentioned that, you know, somebody stole the purse out of her car, and she had asked if we had cameras on the pumps. you know, i informed her that we did. >> these crimes really have the appearance of being crimes, of opportunity, because there they are happening in some cases, like 20 minutes, one after the other. >> police say on tuesday, a black sedan approached a parked car with a woman inside. this happened in the parking lot of berkeley west. a person got out of the sedan and tried to break the window of the victim's car, but the woman, while she smartly honked her horn and scared off the robbers. >> the follow up now on a school fight in the north bay that was caught on cell phone video. novato police have arrested eight students between the ages of 12 and 14, accused of carrying out a targeted attack on two students who ended up in the hospital. here's that video of what happened at sinaloa middle school. the latest fight

is what parents say in a string of violent incidents on campus friday. just after lunch, police say a female student was targeted by a group of students. a second student who tried to stop the fight was also attacked. the eight students who were arrested were booked into marin county juvenile hall on charges of conspiracy and felony assault. >> while the city of oakley is making changes to some of its cannabis cultivation rules now, growers may see tougher penalties for cultivating an excessive amount of plants. under the new rules, growers can be fined even more for each cannabis plant over the six plant limit allowed by the state. now, this only applies to plants grown in unlicensed commercial growers. the new rules also clarify how property owners can pass responsibility to tenants who may be running illegal grows. >> shoppers who pulled back on their spending due to recent record inflation may be getting a bit of a break. walgreens is the latest major retailer to announce it's lowering prices on thousands of products following similar moves by walmart, target and amazon fresh. retail analysts say that companies are

thinking of their own bottom line as consumers push back against high prices. >> make no mistake about it, this is not because you know, these big box retailers are feeling bad for us. their sales are down. so they need to do something. and cutting prices in the in the beginning of this is the exact way that that they're going now whether people are really seeing the savings is still undecided. >> when i look at the list of what the price reductions were at stores like target for instance, i mean, they weren't huge. it was like $0.50 off a pack of goldfish. >> retailers have seen slower sales to start the year compared to last year, due in part to those high prices. >> all right. time now is 817. it's been a pretty busy day on the roads from the south bay all the way up sal castaneda. back now with a look at that. >> yeah. andre and garcia, there is a crash on north livermore avenue exit 580, blocking a

couple of lanes. >> now, fortunately, at this point, a lot of the traffic has already gone by the schedule of traffic. a lot of people are already on 680 heading south or 880. they've passed that by. but don't don't make any mistakes about it that is going to slow you down as you drive on westbound 580. as you drive over toward the devlin pleasanton area, bay bridge backed up to the mains metering lights are on. so that's kind of a typical delay there. and we also still have a lot of slow traffic in the contra costa area on westbound highway four. and 680, and also on interstate 80. we also do have some slowing on 8880 north getting out from san leandro into oakland. it's 818. what about today's weather? here's steve, i'm glad you asked. >> thank you. it's a hazy and getting warm already here. just a teeny bit of fog down towards santa cruz, capitola, aptos. there's a little bit more south of that, but that's it so far. tomorrow though, i think

there'll be a bigger push on it. water temps are incredibly cold here. 49, 49, 51, 52, 53 that is cold for the end of may. and so fog is never, never that far off. when it's that cold, all we need is a little help. i think it will get it some tomorrow for coast and bay. already 70s for some 60s for others. had the coldest temps this morning. we're on the coast because they were fog free. had a lot of mid 40s. are we running warmer or cooler? most locations are running warmer than yesterday. novato and santa rosa are often just as a little bit, but we're running about 1 to 5 degrees warmer. concord, livermore, san jose, palo alto leading the charge, if you will. higher elevations are warm. i've seen a lot warmer than this, but mount veeder 67. oakland hills 64. boulder creek 65. so i mean, that's that's a little bit of an inversion there. that'll translate into some warmer temps . so upper 80s to near 90 inland. this will be the hottest day still warm tomorrow. inland coast in bay i think we'll start to cool down and there'll be another one coming in sunday. monday probably monday. look at that. some rain on the north coast. not here, but that'll keep us probably in the 70s or

low 80s. all eyes. attention will be on wednesday to friday and next week. some indications that could get really hot. others are saying maybe not. so we'll do that next week. warm hot today. temperatures, hazy skies, 60s, 70s by the water 80s upper 80s to near 90. inland tomorrow we'll start to downshift a little bit. and then much cooler. saturday looks pretty nice sunday into monday. >> all right steve thanks. now as allie's been telling us this morning, the governor wants to change how california handles insurance rate increases as part of an effort to prevent more companies from leaving the state. so this morning, we want to hear from you how the ongoing issues with homeowners insurance in california impacted you. your options are. yes. i can't find coverage. my premiums have jumped and not yet. just go to ktvu.com/vote to let us know what you think. >> coming up, efforts to fight so-called deep fakes are advancing at the state capitol. what this proposal would mean for that i technology in just a few days hurricane season begins in the atlantic ocean, and researchers are warning it could be another big year for mega storms. >> get a look inside the

hurricane hunter planes trying to help buy more time for p ple to e

to the work of hurricane hunters. those pilots who head toward danger. >> yeah. fox weather's brandi campbell has a look at their life saving operation. >> well, believe it or not, the hurricane hunters started off as

a bar room dare back in 1943. this was between two different army air corps pilots daring each other to fly through a hurricane. well today it's transformed into an operation giving us more information on these storms before they hit land. to better warn the public. while some of you may have rode out a storm, could you imagine being mid-air inside of one from day to day and flight to flight? >> they could vary from the worst rickety old roller coaster you've ever been on. to just like, going down a slightly bumpy dirt road. >> christopher wood pilots the p-3 aircrafts, this one, named kermit, is one of two operated by noaa. the air force reserve has ten c-130s as well. the chief aerial reconnaissance at the national hurricane center could send multiple hurricane hunter aircrafts into storms to get data to better forecast storm intensity and track noaa engineer nick underwood gave us a tour of the p-3. >> it's a flying research laboratory. we've got three radar systems on board, one in the nose, one in that eminem

looking fairing on the bottom of the plane, and then one in the radome sticking off the back, flying at about 10,000ft. >> a typical mission lasts eight hours or more, with about 15 crew members. >> this station is where we'll launch instruments out of the aircraft, and so typically an operator like myself will sit here and as we're flying through the storm, we're launching drop signs, effectively a weather balloon in reverse. and so we'll drop these out of the aircraft. they have a parachute that deploys. and as they're floating down they're collecting temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and wind direction. data. >> data is sent in real time to the national hurricane center into forecast models. we made our way through all the workspaces to the flight station, where the pilots and engineer work. going into his eighth season, i had to get nick's take on what the ride is like. >> there's a lot of vibration you can get tossed around pretty good. there's wind and rain slapping against all of the windows. once you get in the eye of the storm, it's calm again. so you get a little reprieve, but then you have to go right back out through the nastiness. >> and the same goes for the

crew of about five on the c-130. >> our partners at the air force 53rd weather reconnaissance squadron have their c-130s, and so they do a lot of the same mission that this aircraft does. we just have a little bit more research capability than they do with our extra radar systems and things like that. >> meanwhile, noaa's g four soars up to 45,000ft, going above and around storms, releasing drop signs, collecting details of the atmosphere in and around storms. so what would hurricane season be like without these aircrafts? pilot wood says data from these flights increased forecasts by 10 to 20. >> when you're making the decisions, whether you're going to evacuate your home, if you need to go and, you know, buy supplies and stock up 10 to 20% is a really large margin is really important for you to make those decisions. without these aircraft, we would we would be much more uncertain on what the storms are going to do. >> and they continue to work on new ways to get better data. >> we have new drop zones that are able to stay aloft at a little bit longer, collect a little bit more data. they're actively working to test and develop a variety of different

drones that will be able to collect information in some of the boundary layers that are unsafe for a manned aircraft to actually fly. >> now we are expecting a very active hurricane season this year, but the hurricane hunters, they told me it's going to be business as usual for them, and they are ready for what's to come in miami. i'm brandi campbell, ktvu news, and the team at fox weather is prepared for an active hurricane season. >> fox weather meteorologist ian oliver visited the national hurricane center in miami and talked with some of the nation's top scientists there about what's ahead for the tropics. you'll see there conversation in hurricane hq cone of confusion. it premieres tomorrow at 5:00. our time. you'll see it on fox weather and the fox weather app. a lot of people have family there in the east coast. >> will be watching closely. all right, let's move to this. it's back to court again for the man who has already been convicted once for attacking nancy pelosis husband. we will hear from david depapes, defense attorney as his state case gets underway. >> new efforts to stabilize the

>> fox two news this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian i'm andre senior. >> thank you so much for joining us. today is thursday, may 30th. and if you're wondering what the weather is going to be like, well, first of all, look at look at that behind us. you know it's got a little cloudy skies there, but we're going to have some sun. it's going to be a little bit warmer. steve paulson here. now with more on that. >> hey steve that is correct. thank you. yes a little teeny bit of fog down towards santa cruz. some haze kind of dancing around. i would think there'll be fog there at the golden gate tomorrow. that's just my $0.02 worth. but we're already out of the gate here. warming up 60s on the temps. it won't take long now. livermore probably close to 90 degrees today. that's it right there. santa cruz down towards the monterey bay. and that's not much, but i think tomorrow will look a lot better. then came the last days of may and it's going to be warm to hot, no doubt about it. hazy sunshine, temperatures, upper 80s, 90s, inland coast and bay will be closer to the 70s and also 80s. well, if you're on the

richmond-san rafael bridge, you're probably saying take me away. hey, what is going on? >> yeah, it's bad here. this commute is absolutely stopped. let's go right to it. it looks like the picture is frozen, but it's not. no one's moving here. you can tell by looking at the other side of the traffic. you can see the traffic is coming over there from marin over this way. but look, no one is moving. that's because there's a crash right near the toll plaza involving all the lanes on the richmond bridge. every single lane is blocked and, it won't. it wouldn't surprise me. after a while, people just start getting out of their cars. they're working pretty hard to open the lanes up. but this is a pretty big problem here for the richmond bridge. we'll keep you posted. it's 832. let's get back to the headlines. >> our thanks new this morning, a three alarm fire that we were telling you about that broke out at a popular food court in castro valley that's now under control right now. crews arrived at lake chabot public market around 2 a.m, and you can see it from right here. some of the damage from the flames. alameda

county firefighters say they tried fighting the fire from inside, but notice the roof started to collapse out of safety. they pulled out and started spraying water from above. a battalion chief says the damage hits close to home. >> the owners, you know, childhood friend of mine, we grew up together, you know, went to high school together. so it's a pinnacle in the community, it's really sad to see this happen. we tried the best. we could. we were in there for about an hour on the interior working and the roof started to give way. and we had to pull out. >> we had our windows open, we smelt smoke. and then i looked outside and it was super hazy outside. so, i looked online and somebody had posted that, the market was on fire. so we came down to take a look and it was fully engulfed in flames when we when we first got here around 345. >> well, firefighters aren't sure how long the building had been burning before they arrived, but the lake chabot public market is destroyed. they say it might be a long time

before we know what caused the fire. >> many homeowners here in california are struggling to get insurance coverage. now that multiple insurance companies have limited policies or have stopped doing business in our state, the governor says he has a plan to bring insurers back to california. one consumer advocacy group, though, says it's a bad deal for home and business owners. ktvu erasmus in studio to explain. >> ali well, we've been hearing for months that insurance companies are fleeing california, leaving homeowners in the dark state farm recently announced it would not be renewing more than 72,000 policies in the state. governor gavin newsom says in order to bring some of those insurance carriers back to california, the state needs to make it easier and simpler for them to do business here. the governor wants lawmakers to approve a proposal that would let insurance companies make changes to their rates and policies more quickly. now. right now, if a carrier wants to increase rates or offer any type of policy change, the state's insurance commission has to approve it. and sometimes that approval process can take months, even years. under the governor's

plan, it would have to be approved within 120 days, no longer than that. the governor says this sped up timeline cuts out red tape, consumer watchdog consumer watchdog group, though, however, argues that it will remove valuable oversight and make it easier for insurance companies to make their rates more expensive. one industry analyst says he is optimistic, though, that the change will bring insurance providers back. it doesn't change their ability to do anything differently. >> it doesn't change their oversight. it it doesn't change their ability to do things. it just changes the amount of time it'll take for them to get a response from the department of insurance. >> that will make it harder for the public to protest and challenge improper rates and practices, as more than 30 years ago, california voters passed prop 103. >> it set limits on the amount that insurance rates can go up at a single time. the governor's office says his plan doesn't change that part of prop 103, but it does shorten the amount of time the state has to approve any changes, including changes

or price increases. and that's what the consumer watchdog group, which wrote prop 103, says it is worried about costs going up more quickly if they're approved more quickly. now, the governor wants state lawmakers to add his insurance plan to the overall state budget bill as a so-called trailer bill that state budget must be approved by lawmakers by june 15th. andre. >> all right, ali, thank you. as tools for ai become more powerful and widely available, state lawmakers want to crack down on people who use those tools to create deep fakes involving politics and adult content. they're debating several bills to deal with these problems. one bill would ban using deceptive deepfakes in most ads within the months that surround election day. the other bill would make it illegal to possess or distribute sexual content generated by ai that show children, even if it's not showing a real person. our time now is 836. the mission district will likely be the first area where san francisco begins its public safety camera system. the police department proposing to

install cameras at the high crime areas of 19th and mission streets as well as 24th and mission. these cameras are part of the additional police surveillance in proposition e that voters approved in march. cameras will be installed at fixed locations and record streets, sidewalks, or common areas of public housing complexes. footage will be kept for 30 days unless it's part of an ongoing investigation. there will be public meetings before the cameras are set up and an evaluation will be given to the board of supervisors every year. >> medical experts are expected to take the stand today in the state trial against david depape. in the first day of testimony, jurors heard from four san francisco police officers who responded to the october 2022 break in at the home of congresswoman nancy pelosi and her husband, paul. prosecutors say that her husband was asleep when depape broke through a glass patio door, confronted him in the bedroom and demanded to see the congresswoman, who was not home at the time. the defense is expected to argue that depape suffers from mental illness, which caused him to act on an elaborate conspiracy theory.

>> this is more like attempted murder requires a specific intent to kill, if at the worst it could be attempted. voluntary manslaughter for if he did not have the state of mind necessary to intend to kill him with a level of malevolence. >> legal experts say the prosecution is moving quickly with its case and say at this pace, the trial could wrap up next week. >> well, today, another day of online classes at uc santa cruz after pro-palestine protesters blocked the main entrance to the university yesterday, the west entrance to the campus reopened after a blockade was removed, even though there were still rocks, boulders and fake blood around the area, university officials have safety concerns, but the protesters say they're focused on keeping the attention on the crisis in gaza. >> on the heels of bottlerock, thousands will be in napa valley in the coming days for a one of a kind, music festival, organizers say la onda, or the wave, is the only major festival

in the bay area dedicated to latin music. this weekend's lineup includes some of the world's top latin artists, including mexican pop rock band mana. organizers say it's a historic moment for california's latin community and latin artists everywhere. to us, it just seemed, strange that given the population base, of the bay area, that there wasn't a major festival dedicated to latinos. >> i think it's time. and we're we're we're excited for everyone to experience this first, this inaugural, lambda fest. >> there are some features from bottlerock still at the napa valley expo that will be used for lambda, including the stages and equipment. >> well, by reusing the various the stages that we use for bottle rock that we use last week and the double decker sky decks and much of the infrastructure that we had last week. we're going to be providing, arguably, i think not arguably, without a doubt, the

most elevated latino facing festival in the world. >> single day tickets and weekend passes for the festival are still available online. >> time is 839 and we have a big problem on the richmond-san rafael bridge. all lanes are stopped right now because of a crash, and it's kind of a tricky situation because, look, the tow truck is stuck in traffic. so what's happening now? according to radio police radio reports, is that some people are have gotten out of their cars and they're trying to push one of the vehicles away so that there can be some movement. this is not you know, this is not happening here, folks. and you can see some people are giving up. it's like, this guy is like, you know what? i've had enough. i'm taking my money and going back to the east bay. so please know that you should not take the richmond bridge at the moment. and that put that arrow on the tow truck. i think that tow truck is going to get there anytime soon. chp is right behind it, so we'll see what

is a crash on the richmond bridge. i would not recommend driving on the richmond bridge. either put it off or go a different way. let's talk about the bay bridge that is backed up here to the maze. metering lights are on clearing a crash in livermore. westbound 580 at north livermore avenue that is still on the shoulder. but look, the backup coming in from the altamont pass is now one long line getting into livermore. 849 let's bring steve back with today's weather. >> all right, sal, thank you. clear skies out there. we get a warm few days and that's it. i wouldn't call it a stretch. i mean, maybe 5 to 7 would be, but not this time. we'll start a little cool down coast in bay tomorrow, and everyone gets in on cooler weather by saturday. so up we go and down we go. that's the way it's been since april napa, danville, redwood city, san jose. up we go. 88, 88, 85, 85 on on steve's forecast highs, although a few inland locations they will flirt with that 90 degree range. that's a big jump there since tuesday wednesday today 90 probably upper 80s for some tomorrow. not a big drop down to upper 70s. low 80s by saturday

70. the city is always tough. i've seen anywhere from 68 to 72. 74 should probably cover it. we'll go with 72. the record we were here in 2001. man, it was hot around here. the city hit 101 like the freeway. for the record, that's all for the fog. there's just a teeny wisp or two of some down around santa cruz. otherwise we are clear. but those water temps are doing their best. crazy cold 4951 5253 so i think fog starts to make a move tomorrow. 6070 already on the temps. unless you're over by the coast, which was quite cool this morning, but we are running warmer except petaluma and santa rosa and half moon bay. everyone else is now about 2 to 6 degrees warmer than we were 24 hours ago. the high winds out today, but i think tomorrow it starts to back off and we'll see cooler weather spilling in. today will be the hottest day. cooler coast and bay. tomorrow still warm inland. not a big drop on saturday. and look at this for monday. maybe even additional cooling as another system sweeps into the north. so cooler weather is on the way. if you don't like the heat. >> thank you steve, a quick look back at the answers to a poll we
