show you what we're looking at at this moment. we are just standing right in front of the entrance of uc santa cruz. it was this area, really, that university officials, what prompted them to bring out this kind of response? because they say protesters were blocking the entrance, preventing students, teachers, faculty all from getting onto campus. and they say that's what forced them to go and turn to remote learning for at least the last three days. they said they were also disturbed that many people who rely on the jobs on campus couldn't get to those jobs, and that's why they've asked for chp and local law enforcement to come in. now, there were hundreds of protesters who were up kind of over onto campus here. that encampment has since been broken down, and it's still currently being cleaned up here, but chp was able to push pretty much that entire protest camp off the campus here, reducing that group from hundreds of people to just dozens. and now we're at a point where they're just standing in line. the chp now blocking access to campus, where those protesters stand on the other side, saying they're

chance yelling at police, certainly letting them know that they are not happy that they are here, and kind of reiterating those same messages, those pro-palestinian messages that we have heard that have been consistent with a lot of these demonstrations that we've seen nationwide. now, a number of those protesters, of course, have been talking about how they've been pretty uncomfortable with the amount of force that police have used. there was one woman that we spoke to who was part of that demonstration. she says her involvement took her to the e.r. around 3 a.m. >> they they started pushing in and as we held or stood our ground, an officer with his baton, shoved it straight into my stomach and kept pushing and told me to get back. but i couldn't get back, and i kept telling him that he was hurting me, and he kept pushing and pushing, i just got back from the er because of it. my whole ribs are scraped up and bruised and.

>> yeah, certainly moments where these demonstrations got very intense here. i mean, we were seeing moments where police officers were holding down some of these protesters face down on the ground as they were zip tying them and detaining them, taking them away from the area and eventually sending them to jail. we heard the communication between the two groups here. the officers essentially saying, hey, if we get a hold on you and we were able to break you free from, linking arms with one another, you have two choices. either walk away peacefully or go to jail. we did speak to one man who decided to walk away peacefully because he said this whole demonstration started becoming too dangerous. as you come back into the group, because free palestine, did you get pulled from the group? >> how did you get pulled out earlier? >> i left earlier, but i'm back. >> okay. did they pull you out or did you walk out or i walked out. what you just heard from

was an example of one of those, those palestinian pro-palestinian protesters who walked off, ended up walking back into the group because at one point, again, we just caught one of those intense moments. there was another gentleman i spoke to who said that he and his friends were starting to worry about whether they were going to get hurt, so they opted to walk off and started watching the remainder of this demonstration on the sidelines here. but this is where we're at with this activity this morning. and coming to you live from uc santa cruz, this campus. you hear the chants coming in from the pro-palestinian protesters on the left side of your screen, on the right side of your screen, a line of chp officers now blocking the entrance to the campus, telling people to stay back, stay away. while crews behind them are cleaning up what's left in the encampment. what is left of what these protesters created. and now have left behind. and of course, university officials are hoping that this will be the end of a demonstration that has been disrupting what they say, disrupting some of their university operations. we are reaching out to chp, asking them what their next steps are, how

many people they have arrested and detained, and what charges some of those people will face. of course, once we get that information, we'll bring it to you. we're live this morning from uc santa cruz. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james, thank you. uc santa cruz administrators sent us a statement in response. an assistant vice chancellor says, quote, following the continued intentional and dangerous blockade of campus entrances, uc santa cruz took action to remove the barricades and disband the unlawful encampment. the statement goes on to say, quote, it's imperative we restore full access to our campus and end other unlawful, unsafe actions. as demonstrators continued to disrupt campus operations and threaten safety, even delaying access to emergency vehicles. end quote. >> well, it's never happened before in us history. donald trump has become the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. he just wrapped up a rambling response to his guilty verdicts, in which he called a rigged trial. >> and this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents. it

should never be allowed to happen in the future. but this is far beyond me. this is bigger than trump. this is bigger than me. this is bigger than my presidency. >> all right. so a jury in new york, of course, found trump guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a secret $130,000 payment to adult film actress stormy daniels. he will be sentenced on july 11th. so joining us now with what lies ahead is professor david levine from uc law, san francisco, thank you so much for joining us again. >> always a pleasure. >> he spoke for 33 minutes there. all right, he talked, lashed out at the verdict, said we live in a corrupt country. it was a rambling, rambling response. here he is going to be sentenced on july 11th. will all of this be taken into account for his sentencing? aside from the 34 counts that he was found guilty of? >> absolutely. andre what's going to happen now is the judge has to figure out what should the sentence be? the judge has complete control of the sentencing at this point. now he will hear from the defense. he

will hear from the prosecution. he'll hear from the probation service of new york. and they will all make recommendations to him. but we're looking at at one end four years, we're looking at the possibility of fines or or community service. there's a whole range. people do go to jail for these offenses. now, the things that he was saying last night and the things that he was saying today, you can bet that the prosecutors are going to take excerpts and say, here is a man showing no remorse. he is not taking responsibility for what he did, for what a jury of his peers found him guilty of. and if he's not going to take responsibility, then the judge needs to show him that these are offenses against the state of new york and he should be sentenced appropriately. now, we'll hear it from the other side. but that's what the prosecutor is going to do. so every time in the next few weeks, mr. trump has one of these press conferences. you can bet the new york prosecutors are going to be videoing and taking pieces and using it against him as his entirely allowable now, legally, if he were any other

convicted felon, he, the judge, could sentence him to prison time that's allowed under his these 34 convictions. >> i think four years for each one. right. but that's not going to happen. yes politically, let's say maximum four politically. do you think that's even going to happen or what do you think he's most likely to get? is he likely to end up in jail for this or no? realistically every time he has something to say, he's increasing the chances. >> rouz remember also that in addition to these 34 convictions, he was convicted ten times of violating the gag order. and that's something that the judge can take contempt of court. excuse me? because he violated the order and the judge can take that into account. so all of these things nudge you further to at least some some jail or prison time, in addition to some other portion of the sentence. so he's it. politically, this may be the best thing ever for mr. trump. he raised a lot of money last night. he'll continue to do that. but legally, every time he goes out there and makes a speech like this, he's digging

his own grave in front of the judge. >> the judge only though. yeah. >> write a report is going to be prepared as to the way other defendants in these white collar crimes are sentenced. most of the time they get probation, but they have to show remorse. another thing that we've learned is i'm not learned, but a lot of people are mistaken. thinking that this is this can be pardoned by the president. it can't. it's a state conviction. so the whoever becomes president cannot pardon him. correct. >> that's right. that's right. sal, the when it's because it's a state conviction. same thing would be true in georgia if and when the georgia case ever goes to trial. and there's a conviction the president of the united states cannot pardon for that as well. so here with this case out of new york, it would be up to the governor of new york to consider a pardon. i don't know whether she would do it. i suspect not, but but that would be the issue. now, what will happen is the processing of any felon is that you do go through an interview with the probation office in the state of new york, and they're going to

make a recommendation to the judge. and that's going to look at the overall record. that's going to, again, look at something, like you said, his lack of remorse. and they will make a recommendation. so the judge is going to hear from at least three sources. prosecution defense and the probation department. he certainly i'm sure he's going to be inundated with letters one way or the other as well. and he'll take it all into account. but it is not true that people don't get jail for these offenses. michael cohen, his coconspirator, pled guilty, took responsibility, got a three year sentence and served time, including seven weeks of solitary confinement for these very same crimes. and there are other instances in new york where people do go to jail for this. sometimes they don't. absolutely. most of the time they don't. but it's the confluence of factors. yeah, but the question, you know, what sal asked, i think is interesting because do you think the judge will take into account what this could mean if he sent trump to jail for these charges versus just giving him probation? >> what effect it would have on on the country at large, does he

have to take those into consideration during a sentencing, or is he only focusing on what trump said outside of court and what happened inside of court? >> he, the judge, is aware of it when it came to talking about the violations of the gag order, those contempt of court sanctions, the judge said very clearly, i don't want to send you to jail, but i will do my job if i have to. that was the shot across the bow. the judge all the way along, i think, has tried very hard to say. this is like any other case. now a world famous person, most once the most powerful person in the world, but the judge has tried to play it straight. so i think that he will look at the data and all these pieces of information and will give a sentence that is, he deems appropriate without worrying about who this person is. it's felon ex, as opposed to the former president of united states. >> what this could cause. all right. right. all right, all right. david levine, that wraps it up. we appreciate you coming in and talking to us today. this is a very big case and it's not the last one. and we also have the sentencing coming up on the

11th. so appreciate your time anytime. >> all right. >> well coming up on mornings on two the nine bay area scientist develop a bilingual brain implant. we'll talk to the doctor behind it to find out how it's helping a ♪ ♪ get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. ♪ ♪

we can tell you what it's capable of

or you could find out for yourself. how we get there matters. get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. in the 7:00 hour involving a

transit bus that reportedly hit several other vehicles and caused the big wreck on highway 17 vicinity just outside of los gatos, on the way down from the reservoir. this video is taken by a viewer as they were driving by here. you can see how badly the damaged vehicles are. the fire department is on the scene and it really did tie up traffic. they are making some progress, but again, the headline is that the transit bus did lose control and ended up causing a crash on 17. that was pretty serious. >> well, we've had clear skies in the bay area all morning long. let's get over to steve paulson for a look at the weather forecast. except where? >> santa cruz. santa cruz? yeah, a lot of fog. there are only a few days of heat. you know, it's starting to wane a little bit. coast in bay inland will still be hot today. and then tomorrow it will cool off, sunday does look a little bit warmer than monday. cooler back to warmer on tuesday. you can see the fog bank down there. it's thick as thieves down there trying to

work its way up the coast, but looks like it's running into some resistance. i do think, though, the city will get a little bit of a sea breeze around 2:00. that's the way it usually works here. santa rosa, walnut creek, redwood city, san jose still warm to hot again. sometimes this is delayed another day, but we'll go with the upper if you're far enough inland upper 80s to near 90 for another day. that fog, though, is doing its best. we'll see. sometimes the breeze kicks in even though the fog is not there. when the water temps are that cold, point arenas back down to 49 or 50, i should say 50 and point raised 49. san francisco bowie 52. that is cold, but 50 6070 vacaville. brentwood already say 80, so they'll be easily 90 today. but in other locations we won't be as bad here. we're seeing 50s, 60s on the coast, a lot of fog, at least southern california. it will be hot down on the desert, but we're almost to june. it's that's what happens this time of year. that system to the north, that's going to be the leading edge of our cooldown. so warm to hot away from the coast today. not as bad. coast and bay. i do think that breeze kicks in later

today. cooler on saturday. sunday might get a little jump up. not a big one. back down monday, tuesday, wednesday thursday could get hot here, but i don't think it's going to be as as as severe as people are saying we could. you know, we'll deal with it next week and look at that for on sunday and monday, a pretty good little system for the pacific northwest and northern california. so a friday forecast here. warm to hot inland. yep. but a little cooler coast and bay. so 60, 70, 80, 90 tomorrow will be cooler for all. still nice. a little warmer sunday. cooler monday than back to warmer, maybe much warmer on wednesday. >> steve. thanks. scientists at ucsf have developed a groundbreaking brain implant using ai to help a stroke survivor communicate in both spanish and english. the implant turns the man's brain activity into sentences and allows him to participate in bilingual conversations and switch between languages. so with us now is doctor edward chang, who is a neurosurgeon and the co-director of the ucsf center for neural engineering and prosthesis. doctor, thank you so much for joining us. this is really

interesting. yeah >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> so, doctor, i want to ask you first. so just, you know, you know, basic language here. there is a device that is attached to this man that translates the words that are in his brain to explain how that works. >> exactly. you just said it right there. so we've been working with a gentleman. he goes by poncho for the last five years. he's actually had this implant for five years. and, many years ago, we proved that we could take the brainwaves related to his intended speech. he was paralyzed over 15 years ago. i had a severe brainstem stroke. the part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord and in the areas that allow us to speak and has not been able to speak for the last 15 years. but it can still think of words. so we were able to tap into that part of his brain with this, this, implanted electrode array that reads out the brainwaves. and then we use computer programs using artificial intelligence to translate those brain activity into words and go ahead and so and so does he

speak or does he think the words and they come up on a screen. >> how does that part of it work? >> well, it's both. >> it's not like what he's necessarily just thinking about. it's what he's actually trying to say. and about several years ago, we showed that we could do this in english, but in this more recent study, which was a harder task, was actually to see if the ai algorithm could decode whether he's trying to speak english or spanish. and, in this , small but, early study, we were able to prove that it's possible. >> this is fascinating. so. so, poncho, this is the man who received this implant, and he is bilingual, learned spanish, i guess you grew up speaking spanish and learned english. yes, but the device is only able to translate in in english. so how does this work? is the device now able to translate his brain activity and what he intends to say into spanish by translating from english? how does that part of it work? >> no. >> so great question. and so

it's actually decoding whether he's trying to speak english or spanish. it's not translating from one language to the other. it's really just trying to natively process what words he's saying in spanish or english. and what made this a bit more complicated is that the brain areas that are responsible for spanish and english are completely overlapping. it would have been a very easy problem if it was like, let's say one area that was spanish, the other was english, but they're completely overlapping. and so what the computer algorithms that we designed for decoding had to do was to pick up the very precise, really detailed patterns that are specific to words that are in spanish and those that are specific to the words in english. and that's what it's using to discriminate the two languages. >> doctor, this is i still am just this is incredible to talk to you about this, but tell us what this could mean for people like poncho. >> well, i think first and

foremost, our main objective is really to develop systems that can allow people to restore their ability to communicate once they've had a very, very severe, serious neurological condition like als or, or stroke, so that's our hope. you know, when people lose the ability to communicate, they lose a bit of their identity and self-expression and, certainly, many, many people, the vast majority of people in this world actually speak multiple languages. so we wanted to prove that this was possible, doctor edward chan, you guys are doing some great work over there at ucsf. this is completely fascinating to know that it's happening right in our very area that you guys are developing. this is incredible. but we have to end it there. i'm sorry, i wish we could talk more about what you're doing, but we'll hopefully check in with you shortly again to see how things are coming along. we appreciate your time. thank you. all right. coming up on mornings on two, the nine americans expected to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on summer vacations this year. we'll be live from turkey

with a look at how europe is expected to see another record breaking travel year. and let's get another check of our viewer poll. this morning, we've been asking you what type of menu when you go to a restaurant, do you prefer when you're dining? do you like the physical menu or do you like the qr code? well, 88% says physical menu and only 12% say qr code. you still have your chance to cast your vote. just scan the qr code on the top right hand corner of your screen. or if you don't like that qr code, you can go to vu.c /voting.

the man who was already convicted in federal court of attacking him with a hammer. david depape is now in state court facing charges that include attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. prosecutors thursday called a neurologist who testified 82 year old paul pelosi may have to deal with injuries he suffered in that attack for the rest of his life. prosecutors also played a one hour police interview with depape following his arrest. >> a defendant's confession or admission, is an important piece of evidence always, but based on my understanding of what he said, it also supports, the foundation for the defense saying the kid, the guy was delusional at the rate the prosecution is presenting its evidence, court observers say this case could go to the jury as early as next week. >> well, another major hurdle

has been passed for california's budget proposal. now, dozens of people lined up to speak before the assembly budget committee, which passed the budget proposal for the next fiscal year. the proposal addresses california's expected $45 billion deficit in the next fiscal year, with some program cuts and some spending delayed. the state legislature and the governor have until june 30th to pass a new budget. >> well, coming up on mornings on two the nine, it's been considered a crisis. and now some san francisco mayoral candidates are looking to do something about it. the solutions to affordable child care for families in san francisco that they say will help middle and low income families. plus, list prices are high and so are interest rates. but there's a trend that's becoming more popular for people looking to get into the competitiv real state mark .

ahh! another morning to savor the crunchy nooks & crannies™ splendor of a thomas' english muffin! thom...which is a nook and which is a cranny? well, that's a nook. cranny. cranny. cranny. nook. cranny. i mean they should be teaching you this in school. huzzah! a toast to breakfast.

at this beautiful sunny, nice and clear. a little bit of haze in the horizon there, but this is a nice picture of the oakland estuary right behind the ktvu jack london square studios a lot of blue in this picture as we transition from the end of may into unofficial summer. for folks, june 1st is that date. well, two cities in the bay area are among the best in the country when it comes to selling a home. zillow recently released its market heat index ratings. the real estate marketplace company says san jose and san

francisco are among the hottest markets of the 100 largest metro areas. both cities earned scores over 110. now, for comparison, the average score for a us city was 60. zillow says these ratings are based on a variety of factors, including the number of people showing interest in an area's homes, the number of homes reporting a price cut, and the amount of homes selling within three weeks. so the housing market definitely continues to be hot here in the bay area despite those high interest rates. despite the high cost. i mean, i kind of chalk it up to a big part is that nice shot that we had transitioning to this. how nice the weather is here. >> yeah, it is beautiful here. but getting into the housing market here is brutal. it is very it is my goodness. you know, for the newer people. and i've been here you know, not that long but long enough where it should be able to. >> but and just when you think things are going to, you know, there's going to be a little break so you can get into the area, not the bay area. >> so there you go. you know.

>> yeah, i think you're right. i think that a lot of it has to do with the weather. yeah. it doesn't get pretty perfect. >> well there's the weather, but you also have you can go to the mountains. yep. you can go to the ocean. you can go to monterey. i mean napa. it's just i've never lived in a place with so such a diverse area. >> there's so much to do outside, so much around here. yeah. and the nice weather to do it. you know, we can sit here and talk all day about. everyone wants a piece of. we love the bay area wants a piece of it. >> all right. let's move on to this story. now that we're following for everyone here. a short time ago, donald trump delivering a blistering response to his historic conviction, he blasted the judge, the manhattan district attorney and key prosecution witnesses. >> if they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. and these are bad people. these are, in many cases, i believe, sick people. >> trump called the trial a scam. rigged against him. a jury found him guilty on all 34 counts in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election through a secret payment to adult film actress stormy daniels. >> i'm out there and i don't

mind being out there because i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution, and it's very important far beyond me. and this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents. it should never be allowed to happen in the future. >> trump says his legal case and the others he faces have only strengthened the support of his loyal base. his campaign says it raised tens of millions of dollars in donations in the hours since the guilty verdict was read. sentencing, by the way, set for july 11th. >> reaction from across the bay area is rolling in to trump's guilty verdict. the owner of amplified barbershop in downtown walnut creek tries to avoid talking politics with his customers. politics is such a touchy subject, it can rile people up and is usually bad for business, but the trump guilty verdict was definitely a point of discussion at the barbershop. we sampled some opinions in the community, and while it wasn't scientific, the responses were interesting and mixed. >> we were definitely surprised

that they got a conviction on all 34 counts. >> i can say i wasn't shocked, but i was disappointed because i think it's just an absolute tragedy or just a travesty of justice. >> he deserved to be found guilty. he's been covering up things for years and he finally got what he deserved. >> i wasn't surprised because he's not a very honest person. and when you have people who aren't honest who wants to be president and have a button on the nuclear weapon, it's kind of scary. >> people we interviewed did agree on one aspect of the verdict. no matter if they're a democrat, republican or independent voters, we all spoke with all believed trump will not serve any jail time. you can stay up to date with the latest on the guilty verdict for former president donald trump, as well as the 2024 election on our website. just go to ktvu. com. >> the november 5th general election is a little more than five months away, and here at home in the race for mayor of san francisco, the main candidates are discussing some of their priorities for the city

. ktvu is alice wertz joins us live to explain the plans. several candidates are now unveiling that have to do with child care in san francisco. alice, what are they talking about? >> yeah, that's right. ali, you and i both know it, child care can be very costly, especially in san francisco. oftentimes, it runs up there almost as much as rent or mortgage. and that's why candidate for mayor mark farrell has proposed universal health care for everyone in the city. you'll recall that, with today is multiple prongs. >> one is about making sure the farrell was a interim interim candidate for mayor. >> i beg your pardon? mark farrell was an interim mayor when mayor ed lee passed away. he was also supervisor, and he has a proposal for universal health care to make sure that everyone is served. >> my proposal for universal child care, that i came forward with today is multiple prongs. one is about making sure the

space is available so they have child care facilities available throughout every single neighborhood in san francisco. we need to make sure we train workers and have a pipeline of people staffing these child care centers. and then it's about affordability. >> it was back in 2018 that voters here in the city approved prop c parents we spoke to this morning agree funding for early childhood education is important. rhonda strickland has an eight year old here at daniel webster elementary, and her 12 year old also attended this school. >> essential, i actually helped out and volunteered this year, teaching inside the first grade classroom because there wasn't enough in the budget to service some students who really needed the help. and so i think that funding and appropriate and keeping the teachers in the schools, because this is where they want to be, it's absolutely crucial. >> mayor london breed has also reiterated her commitment to

families and children in the city. she says her past administration has done everything they can to support students and early childhood education. we've also put word out to a couple of other of the top five candidates for mayor in the city, and we're waiting to hear back from them. we'll give you an update at noon as to where they stand on this very important issue of early childhood education in san francisco. i'm live here at daniel webster elementary in san francisco. alice schwartz, back to you in the studio, alice. >> thank you. a growing number of people are buying properties with friends or family. it comes as the real estate market continues to become out of reach for many, as prices and interest rates remain high, according to zillow's housing trends report, 1 in 7 people bought a property with a friend last year, while 1 in 10 bought with a relative. joining us now for more insight is austin allison, who is the ceo and co-founder of picasso, a san francisco based property broker which lists shares of

vacation homes. good morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> you know, austin, you do this for vacation homes. and it's one thing to share a vacation home with someone you know. you're not going to be there all the time. what about sharing a house that's going to be your primary residence with someone? that has to be different, right? >> well, as you mentioned in the opening, co-ownership is a growing trend. zillow just reported that 26% of all home buyers in 2023 bought with a friend or a family member. so co-ownership is growing in popularity, and the reason why it's growing in popularity is because we have a housing affordability problem. there just aren't enough homes available for sale, and that problem is not getting any better. it's only going to get worse. so people are pulling their resources together and both secondary home use cases, which is where we largely focus at picasso, as well as primary home use cases to be able to access the american dream. >> so okay, so austin, people

getting in, i imagine this is the way it goes. me and a friend, let's just say a friend and i are going to buy a house because we can't afford one on our own. we get in, we wait for the appreciation, and then we sell. and then i got a little nest egg to go buy my own house. and he has his own little nest egg to go buy his own house. is that what people do? >> yeah, that's about right. i mean, ownership, real estate ownership is an american dream. frankly, it's an international dream. and it's a way to build generational wealth. and the problem that housing affordability issues present is that it keeps people from realizing that american dream. so what we're seeing with co-ownership is we're seeing younger families or young professionals pooling their resources together and buying a condo or an apartment. you know, in the city, and they're co occupying that home and using resources like the resources that we provide at picasso, you can actually go to our website. and for as little as $250, you can gain access to a

co-ownership package and set of legal documents. that makes this process easier. but the other thing that we're seeing is we're seeing people rent their primary home in the city and access home ownership through picasso by buying a second home, because we have properties all over the nation, starting at $200,000, and we offer financing. so for as little as 30% down, you can now access the american dream in a second home market while renting your primary home. so i think you can expect co-ownership to continue to take all different shapes and forms in the primary home and secondary home use case, again, with the primary goal of making home ownership possible for more people. i imagine austin that in that package you mentioned, you are going to dot the i's and cross the t's when it comes to owning a property with someone else, you think about things that maybe you haven't thought about, but since you've been through this so many times, you're going to help people so

they don't forget, you know? >> oh yeah, what happens if i want to leave and that person doesn't? those kind of things. yeah that's exactly right. >> i mean, picasso has been around for three and a half years now. we've sold more than $1 billion in, real estate. during that period of time, we've invested millions of dollars in perfecting this ownership model. and we're essentially making this this model available, you know, to the world, because we believe that co-ownership is a really important part of the housing solution, the other thing to note is that with the picasso model, when you're when you're buying a second home, picasso is actually managing the entire experience. so we're designing the home, we're putting art on the wall, we're paying the bills, we're helping with the resale process. so it truly is a hassle free easy button, if you will, for home ownership. but when you're doing this on your own in a diy manner and you know the other owners, it's really important to have the right set of legal documents to have a

good long term exit plan for the partnership, because the last thing that you want to do is get into business with your friends or family members and have it, you know, end negatively. and our documents and our track record and our investment is something that consumers can leverage to make the diy co-ownership process easier and lower risk. >> all right, austin, all good information. thank you for joining us. austin allison is the ceo and co-founder of picasso. and again thanks for being here. thank you. all right . coming up a travel boom is coming this summer as americans who expected to shell out hundreds of billions of dollars this season will be live from turkey as europe is bracing for another record year. and here are the results from our poll that we mentioned earlier this hour. we've been asking what type of menu do you prefer when dining at a restaurant, a physical menu or one of those qr codes you have to get with your phone? you can just scan that qr code. you see what we did there

at the top right of your screen? or you can go to ktvu.comote.

how it plans to fix its recent safety problems. the faa had required the company to produce a detailed turnaround plan after a door panel was blown out on its jetliner back in january. yesterday, boeing executives met with federal regulators for more than three hours, and the faa announced that the restrictions it imposed on boeing shortly after that incident will stay in place, at least for now. >> we will not approve of production increases beyond the current cap until we're satisfied. bottom line we will continue to make sure every airplane that comes off the line as safe and reliable, regardless of how many planes boeing builds. >> earlier this year, the faa had banned boeing from increasing 737 max production until the agency was satisfied with boeing's quality control improvements. >> the san francisco municipal transportation agency announces that they have finished paving the for their l taraval improvement project. here's a look at the new streets looking down toward the ocean. some

construction work is still scheduled from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. until june 1st. next up is work on new boarding islands. the agency says riders can also expect mosaic art, decorative pavers and new transit shelters with real time displays. expect major delays on interstate 680 through the tri-valley area this weekend. caltrans is shutting down three southbound lanes of traffic between al costa boulevard in san ramon and the 580 connector in pleasanton for paving work, while two lanes will stay open. caltrans is recommending people avoid the area. caltrans says the weekend closure will do the same amount of work of 40 overnight closures. the lanes of southbound 680 will close starting at 9:00 tonight until four in the morning on monday, and more street closures are starting this morning ahead of tomorrow's concert at civic center. >> that will bring more than 20,000 people to downtown san francisco, streets around civic center and city hall are being shut down ahead of tomorrow's skrillex and fred again show. they include grove between polk and larkin, polk between

mcallister and hayes, and fulton between larkin and hyde. starting tonight, there will be more closures on larkin and grove in the area of civic center. the 19 and 19 polk and 21 hayes muni lines will have to be rerouted this weekend because of those closures. >> all right, none of this americans expected to spend a record breaking amount of money on summer vacations this year. a new survey from alliance partners finds that international travel will be up 15% this summer from last year. joining us now to share more insight on what travelers can expect is travel journalist angel castellanos, who is currently in turkey right now. angel thank you so much for joining us. >> yeah, thanks for having me. you know, i've been in europe since april 15th and you're right, it's going to be a gang buster year for sure. >> yeah. i want to see what's behind you. where are you standing now? and where are you? in turkey? >> i'm actually in bodrum, right here at the kaya palazzo hotel. and i've come to the south of the country after spending some time in istanbul. so i've been bopping around to the major cities, you know, rome, paris,

london. and it's been an extraordinary summer so far. >> and so why did you specifically choose turkey this time around? you know, a lot of people think of paris, that kind of thing. but, but but what does turkey have to offer that, that, that drew you there? >> well, to be honest, i mean, paris is a hot mess. it's a huge construction zone. they're prepping for the olympics, and istanbul is not only cheaper because of the dollar ratio to the turkish lira, but there are still some heavy hitters in terms of sightseeing. but i also actually came to look into medical tourism. you know, billions of dollars are spent on medical tourism, $2.4 billion. and i actually visited a clinic, stay novi, to check out what's happening. why do so many men come here for hair transplants? it's a market leader and i'm writing this article and it just turns out that stay novi offers an incredible service. they have doctors that are experienced over ten years, so it's really just just very interesting that turkey has become a leader in medical tourism. but then you

get outside of the country, outside of the city of istanbul, and you have beautiful paradise. you know, you have these island type of vacations, typical mediterranean style vacation where you're just going to have a great time at a fraction of the cost. >> what i heard you say just a moment ago is the exchange rate with the american dollar. and that is key. i had some friends that just went to japan because of the exchange with the yen. so tell us about the exchange rate right now for those who are looking at these beautiful pictures that you sent to us of turkey and are thinking, man, i'd love to go there this summer . >> yeah, i mean, the best way to get, the best currency is to go to a bank owned machine and when you're in the country, things are going to be pretty inexpensive. turkey is suffering from very high inflation rates, but it hasn't trickled down to the tourism market. for example, this resort that i'm at now, the palazzo, is actually only at 65% occupancy. so they've just started their season. today is one of the opening days of the major beach clubs here. whereas when i was in italy, in the

south of italy in april, it was already super, super packed. so there's definitely a lot to see and do here. unesco world heritage sites, biblical sites, you know, mediterranean style vacations, boats, beaches, you name it, you have it in turkey. and for a lot of people, this is the cherry on top of a european vacation. >> so. so tell me, for a hotel that you're in right now, it looks like it has a great view. what would you pay at this point to stay there for a night? >> well, a lot of these hotels typically have a dynamic pricing, so it really depends on when you book. like i mentioned earlier, there's low occupancy, low occupancy now. but later in the summer when they're at their peak in the middle to late july, they're going to be at 90. so really, if you're looking at a place to stay here in turkey, now's the time. or actually after the season is over in late september, that's when you're going to get the best prices and should we should touch on this because we cover these stories. >> is turkey a safe considering the current political climate now and conflicts that are

happening in the middle east? what have you found? >> i think it's definitely safe. you know, when you actually google map it, the conflict areas are just so far away and tourism is so big here in this country, not only just in medical tourism, but just in everyday tourism, that they're the most hospitable people in the area. and there's something to be said that this is one of the countries of the area where they actually have a latin alphabet, and they really try to reach out to american audiences. so to make my family a little bit more comfortable, i do register with the step program, which is a program that the state department has, and you would instantly get a message from the state department if anything does happen. and just gives my family a little bit of peace of mind, but it's definitely a safe country to visit, whether you're in istanbul or in a beautiful mediterranean location just like this. >> let me ask you one last quick question here. can you find a deal if you book now, if you book late, someone saw this segment and said, i want to go there right now. can you find something? >> yeah. so basically turkish

airlines is a great option because they have so many routes and so many destination cities that they fly from. you can fly directly from sfo to istanbul, and they have a free stopover program. they often throw in a free night's hotel, which can be a huge cost savings for a lot of travelers and a lot of families. and if you're coming to the southern part of the mediterranean, there's definitely deals out there to be had. but if you're going to, let's say paris, london or rome, you really should consider a fall travel late september, early october. >> all right. travel journalist andrew castellanos, i'm jealous. it looks fantastic there right now. i just came back from my vacation myself, but now i want to go there. thank you so much for your time. thank you for showing us what's up. we're going to check in with you next time as you make your way around europe. we appreciate it. all right. >> all right. thank you so much. thanks for having me. >> yeah. for sure. coming up on mornings on two and nine, taylor swift. that's a shift, ariana. not so grand. the reason this alexander wang ad is sparking controversy on social media and gordon ramsay's food stars is back for season two. and to celebrate, ktvu is giving away

this hour, we've been asking you what type of menu you prefer when dining at a restaurant. physical menu 89% overwhelming qr code. people don't like that so much. you could still vote though. scan the qr code at the top right hand corner of your screen or you don't want to scan. if you don't like qr codes like 11% of people there you go to ktvu.com/vote. >> all right. i think it's ironic that we're telling directing people to a qr code to vote against a qr. it's not a menu, it's not a menu. >> right. you can exactly. >> okay. the city of oakland will be providing more than 100,000 free meals to children this summer. the city's summer food service program began this week at more than 45 locations

across the city. the city is working with a number of local community groups to provide nutritious lunches to both children and adults with disabilities enrolled in oakland school programs. >> picking up a book this summer could lead to a free pizza for young readers. pizza hut is bringing back its camp book it program. parents can set up reading goals every month on a digital dashboard once their kids hit their goals, they'll receive digital coupons that can get them a free one. topping personal pizza hut pan pizza enrollment now open. the program runs from june until august. >> anchor brewing company has a new owner, the billionaire founder and ceo of chobani yogurt purchased a 127 year old san francisco brewery that shut down last july. the new owner bought all of anchor's assets, including the beers, trademark recipe, brewing equipment at the warehouse facility on de haro street and the potrero hill campus. he says he plans to preserve the brand's history and heritage and keep the company in san francisco luxury fashion

designer alexander wang is getting mixed reviews over a controversial ad that used celebrity look alikes. >> the social media campaign prompted the relaunch of a popular perse. it shows four women on box and feature the product. the women in the ad resemble world famous icons like taylor swift. what do you think? take a look. it's supposed to beyonce, i guess. ariana grande and kylie jenner, of course. beyonce. as i said, the ad sparked debate among viewers, with some praising the marketing effort and others critical. although, you know, pretty smart though. get some look alikes to, sell your product. it's illegal. >> is it? yeah this is becoming more of an issue as, with the introduction of ai. yeah. you know, these are real people who are impersonating these famous icons, but, you know, it's been a topic of discussion. voices is generated by ai. and, you know, whether that infringes elvis ad lookalikes. that's true. >> i'm just saying, yeah, you know, you know. >> yeah. you know, and they're in vegas. so i don't know, some lookalikes are better than others. very. you got that right
