orts knowledge there. 'll preston will have reaction and the reasoning behind the justices ruling and concerns growing over how women in custody were transferred out of fci dublin and treated at a new facilities. >> we're live with the local lawmaker demanding answers in a new letter to prison officials and new rules for one bay area city allowing homeowners to sell their accessory dwelling units separately from their home. >> what this could mean for the tight housing market from ktvu, fox two news this is the four. well, adus have become increasingly popular in recent years, and now those backyard cottages are about to become a lot more valuable in san jose, city leaders have moved to allow homeowners to sell off their adus like a condo. it's all part

of an effort to expand affordable housing options in the south bay. welcome, everyone to the for this afternoon. i'm alex savage and i'm cristina rendon. >> allowing people to sell adus is expected to increase demand for those backyard units. ktvu san rubin is live outside dor homes, a manufacturer of 80 used with more on what this could mean for homeowners. for the city. >> yeah, these are the types of things we're talking about. some of them are built from scratch. others, like these ones at a dor homes, are pre-built, and san jose hopes that this new ordinance will encourage even more people to put them in. now in the groundbreaking move, the city of san jose will now allow accessory dwelling units to be sold as separate property. a state law passed last year allowed for the change. san jose is just the first city to embrace it. the city had already made building backyard cottages much easier. as a result, adus accounted for nearly one third of all new housing last year. about 400 units. but they say there's still a housing shortfall, and this may bring

lots of much needed inventory into the market. there are still some questions around how exactly this will work in terms of utilities, taxes, and even creation of homeowners associations. but the mayor believes this will be a win win situation. i think this is an exciting opportunity for residents to expand home ownership opportunities. >> an additional source of income for folks who have excess space. i think there's a there's a lot of options here, and we need them because we face a serious housing crisis that is what is remarkable about this. >> it allows us to use the conventional lending world to get something that is really a very modest home loan in california. imagine a home for 3 or 4 or $500,000. it's almost unheard of. >> san jose voted on the measure this week. it will get a second reading next week and could take effect by mid to late july. alex. cristina. >> and do you know what homeowners should consider about what it would mean for their property? i mean, if someone uses this and sells it off,

obviously it's a benefit to them, but if they're going to sell off their property, is that desirable for someone coming in wanting somebody else on their property? >> you know, i think that there's a lot of variables here. so i had one person tell me, oh, they actually think that people don't care as much about a large backyard. and they don't think it will be a big hit, but i think there'll be a lot of weighing of those sort of factors when people make those decisions. and sometimes it might even involve just selling your adu to someone you know, a child you know, or homeowners moving into the adu and selling the main house. so you know, we'll see how it works. but, you know, people seem to be positive on the idea and to think that it could be beneficial both to the seller and to the market in general. >> yeah, but a lot for homeowners to consider here before they move. move forward with those sales. and ruben live for us in the south bay. and thank you. brand new affordable housing development in east oakland is now ready for people to move in. mayor shengtao was among those at the opening today for ax cherry hill apartments at

94th avenue, and international boulevard. this is a 55 unit mixed use development. 14 of the apartments are for households exiting homelessness. the development has community spaces and a health clinic on the ground floor. >> one of several projects in this neighborhood, and it combines housing and community spaces and, community organizing and health services really holistically looks at the needs of a community. >> and the people in east oakland deserve to have a nice, clean, beautiful place to live. and god, can we give a round of applause? >> the development was built through a public private collaboration between the city of oakland and ax community development corporation. >> governor newsom says the state will more than double the two. appointment of california national guard members to crack down on fentanyl smuggling. nearly 400 california national guard service members are being deployed at ports of entry and elsewhere to prevent illegal drugs from coming into the u.s.

that's up from 155 currently deployed. the governor said in a video announcement from san isidro that the cal guard operations are already working. >> it's had tremendous success, particularly as it relates to interdiction of fentanyl. so over 62,000 pounds of fentanyl has been seized. it's up over 1,066. tremendous progress in this space. all about partnerships. >> the task force focuses on gathering information to intercept narcotics trafficking utilizing air and ground assets. the department of homeland security says that a majority of fentanyl is smuggled into the us at ports of entry by american citizens. >> a contentious south bay race to replace retiring congresswoman anna eshoo could lead to a change in state law if passed, a bill in the assembly would mandate automatic recounts in close statewide elections. >> we go back now to the south bay, where ktvu is. jesse gary is live with details on this plan. and jesse evan low, who benefited from a recount here in his race, is sponsoring this

bill. >> i know it sounds crazy, right? well, evan low says he wants to take the political intrigue out of recounts by making them automatic in close contests. let's go ahead and take a look at our video. you'll remember earlier this spring, evan low, joe simitian, and sam liccardo were three candidates still standing at the end of the march primary for the 16th congressional district. now, normally the top two finishers advance to the general in november, but in this case, after a month of counting votes, low and simitian were tied with three three, 30,249 votes each. liccardo was in the top spot, so it appeared three names would be on the november ballot. then jonathan padilla, a former liccardo staffer, ponied up $24,000 a day via a super pac to pay for a recount of ballots in santa clara and san mateo counties. as a 16th congressional district stretches across county lines, low was initially against the recount, asking if he stopped saying it was a political move to favor liccardo. now he's pushing ab

996, which, if passed, would mirror existing practice here in santa clara county. it would mandate a recount by the state in any election where the race with the margin is razor close, less than a quarter percent or less than 25 votes, and require within 24 hours any contributors of $10,000 or more for voter requested recounts be reported to county election officials and published on county election websites. >> let's get the politics, or at least the perception of the politics out of it, and have a process that all can abide by in the counting of votes that we should have. the accountability and transparency without the political motivation. >> lo beat simitian by a handful of votes thanks to the recount. joe simitian had no comment about the proposed change in state law. lo's team says their boss was never against recounts, but against it's against outside money paying for a recount that benefits the front runner. lo now faces sam sam, san jose

mayor sam liccardo, a former mayor. sam liccardo in the general election on november 5th. guys. >> all right, so jesse, what is the status of this assembly bill? has it passed the chamber and now moved on to the senate? >> a little confusing because it's being forwarded by lo, who's an assemblyman, but he's pushing it through the senate first. so it will have to go through the senate election committee. he'll get one of his colleagues in the senate to actually walk it through. and then once it passes that chamber, then it'll come back to the assembly and go through the same process. i'll have to go through committee, then to the floor for a full floor vote. and if it passes the vote, both in the assembly and in the senate, then it would go to the governor's desk for signing or veto. a long way to go. but we're in the early stages of this. >> yes, certainly a long, circuitous route to get to the governor's desk there. jesse gary live for us in the south bay. we appreciate it, jesse. thank you. >> all right. turning now to our weather. we'll stay in the south

bay here for this view of our camera, looking from san jose north toward milpitas. and we'll bring in meteorologist mark tamayo now with a look at our bay area weather. pretty hot out there for some parts inland. >> yeah, some parts inland are warming up today. christina but the overall trend has been we're not talking about any more heat advisories or triple digits across parts of the bay area. it looks like we will warm things up a bit, though as we head into your friday forecast. but no major heat, so it's been quite the ride with temperatures over the past few days. tuesday the hottest day of the week, we have been cooling off a bit and then as you can see into friday, we're going to warm things up. here's a satellite where you can see some cloud cover out toward the sierra. in fact, there are some thunderstorms i'll bring on the radar here out toward portions of the sierra. and then also we have the low clouds and fog just offshore, kind of hugging our coastline right now. so here's a closer look at the satellite. the fog not really clearing too much out toward the coast from santa cruz for half moon bay. as we come closer to san francisco here, you can pick out the marin headlands and san francisco. a cool day out there with temperatures only in the

50s. and there's that fog bank get getting its act together right now, getting ready to push back into the bay for this evening. the temperature change compared to this time yesterday, 4 p.m. on wednesday. most areas have a minus sign. so today continue. we continue to cool things off across the region. of course, yesterday was the big transition day. take a look at the current numbers right now. no triple digits. no 90. not much in the way of 80s. just some 50s in san francisco, some 60s in oakland, and lots of 70s for santa rosa, livermore and in san jose. and we'll show you the wind reports. you can see fairfield gusting to 31 miles an hour. napa gusting to nearly 30 miles an hour out toward sfo, winds westerly at 21 and san jose at about 15 miles an hour. here's a live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge. you can see the cloud cover here. it's not that that low cloud deck which tries to hide the span. it's actually a deeper marine layer. and as a result, the cooling effects kind of felt. bay area wide. tomorrow morning, partly cloudy skies, patchy fog. the headline for your friday. we're going to warm things up for tomorrow. that

means 60s 70s warmest locations upper 80s to right around 90 degrees. so a bit of a warm up in your friday and then into the weekend. some changes developing and there's a chance we could be talking about an increase in the fire danger. we'll have more on that with your full update coming up in just a little bit. all right. >> we'll see you then. mark. thank you. reproductive rights activists celebrating following the supreme court's ruling today that preserves access to the abortion pill mifepristone nationwide. what this means for reproductive rights moving forward, plus pushing for answers in the closure of fci dublin. >> we're live with congressman mark desaulnier to discuss the latest letter detailing a long list of concerns laid out by

that attempted to restrict access to the drug. the fda defending itself, said this drug is among the safest. it's ever approved. anti-abortion advocates disagree. >> me, they did not rule on what we think are the primary problems with mifepristone. the abortion pill, which is whether or not it is safe for the women and whether the women know how painful it is before they go into it. >> medford, prestone, was used in nearly two thirds of abortions in the u.s. last year. georgetown doctor michelle goodwin joined us earlier today and said the case is a win for pharmaceutical companies and people who use it. the medication for terminating pregnancies. >> it does not resolve the other issues that we have individuals who are fleeing states in order to get the medical care that they need, or the criminalization or civil punishments that we've seen in the wake of the dobbs decision, president biden said in a statement, quote, today's

decision does not change the fact that the fight for reproductive freedom continues. >> it does not change the fact that the supreme court overturned roe v wade two years ago, and women lost a fundamental freedom. >> a group of nearly two dozen congressional lawmakers is demanding answers from the bureau of prisons, with a new letter asking questions about the treatment of incarcerated women who were transferred out of fci dublin. the lawmakers are concerned over allegations that the women in custody continue to be mistreated at different facilities across the country. the four page letter outlines a series of detailed questions about the plan surrounding the closure of fci dublin, how the cases of each person in custody are being handled, and whether federal oversight appointed by a judge played a role in the prisons shutdown. joining us now on this is east bay congressman mark desaulnier, who signed the letter alongside 20 other colleagues. mark, thanks for thanks for being here. you know that we've covered this story extensively on ktvu as the shutdown was happening and in the days and weeks that followed, in fact, our reporting is cited in the letter that you

sent to the bureau of prisons. and there's a lot of layers to this story, from the treatment of women in custody to how the shutdown played out. so i want to know what strikes you as the most concerning. >> well, the overall culture and just the fact that, eight correctional officers have been convicted and are now in prison, for sexual abuse there, the warden, was convicted of sexual assault along with a chaplain and so those numbers speak of the damage that was done there. and then the overall culture where there seems to be just a arrogance and a lack of responsiveness to both the judge prospectively to the special master, who was the first special master over a bureau of prisons facility and to the congress. so we want to get answers. we want to make sure that the investigation holds people accountable and that they follow the law. after all, these are correctional officers sworn to follow the law, and they're abusing it in a very significant and willful way in my view.

>> okay, so about three weeks ago, we heard from you that there was another letter sent to the house judiciary committee and house committee on oversight and accountability calling for an investigation into these alleged. anything come of that? >> not yet, the majority party, so i've sent a letter. i've also talked to some of the members on both committees. they're aware of the issue, the attorney general is aware of the issue. obviously, the fbi has been very involved. so i think those hearings are absolutely essential along with a quick response from the bureau of prisons to our letter. >> right. and you mentioned something that's very interesting that we've encountered, too, which is a lack of response. they have responded in some instances to our requests for a comment. but looking here in the letter, very detailed things about requesting video or asking whether or not any documents were destroyed. what happens, though, if the bureau of prisons doesn't respond? can you issue subpoenas for this information? or maybe even call the director? colette peters up for a hearing to answer questions as all of the above, we will pursue this

relentlessly, i'm concerned that this is a culture within the bureau, not just at this facility. so we've we're going to stay on it, as you said, we've got a lot of members on it and some very significant members. the senior democrat in the senate judiciary committee, senator durbin from illinois, we've got members of the judiciary and the oversight committee. so this is meant to send a message that we're going to get to the bottom of this, and we're going to support the courts and the department of justice to make sure that people are held accountable. and we stop this kind of culture. >> has your office been in contact with any of the women or the women's families who are housed at other facilities and have told you about the treatment that they're receiving ? >> we have been in contact with their lawyers and some of the whistleblowers in this case, as well as others. so we're getting more information as time goes by. yes. okay. >> and last question here. why send this letter now? because we know that there was a letter that was sent initially in late

april demanding answers, that was sent by the senate. your colleagues in the senate, any any hope or any difference to why this letter may provide some answers. at the first one did not. >> i think the message here is we're not going to be blown off, that we're going to stay at this and we're going to hold them accountable. and i mean, everyone in the department, we're going to hold them accountable. >> okay. congressman mark desaulnier, appreciate your time. and thank you so much for joining us today. >> always a pleasure, kristen. >> up next on the four this afternoon. more progress in the effort to better understand parkinson's disease. we'll have the details on encouraging new research that is out. plus we're live with the bay area company to discuss the technology they've created to help improve care for parkinson's patients

like parkinson's disease. a study from the university of rochester found wearable devices like apple watches can detect changes in parkinson's over time in people in the early stages of the disease. researchers say the data gathered by those devices can help speed up development of therapies. and these findings are significant for one san francisco based company, ruhn labs makes an apple watch that's designed to track the symptoms of parkinson's, including tremors and involuntary movements. and for more, we're joined by brian pepin, the ceo of ruined labs. brian, thank you for the time. how important are

these findings from the university of rochester? what do they tell us about the role smartwatches can play in helping people with parkinson's, these findings are extremely exciting. parkinson's is the most, quickly growing neurological disease in the us, but it can be very hard to diagnose in the clinic. and so it often goes undiagnosed, which creates a lot of problems for patients and their families. and what this study tells us is that the data that can really help differentiate parkinson's from other conditions and help show some early diagnosis and risk exists on people's phones and watches already. they don't have to go out and get a special test, and necessarily they don't have to wait for a specialist visit, it's sort of right there. and we've, been collecting a lot of this data already, just for parkinson's patients. and it's great to see that not only can this type of data be used, if you have parkinson's, it can really be helpful at those very early stages. if you think you might be at risk.

>> so in 2022, ruhn labs did get fda approval for what's called the strive pd app for the apple watch. explain how this app works and how it can be used to with the sensors on it to track parkinson's related symptoms. >> right, so there are a range of sensors in your phone and apple watch, including sensors that track movement. and kind of simply what we do is we take those sensors and we have algorithms that have been developed in partnership, with, with clinicians and others that automatically say, you know, this pattern of movement means you have tremor. how severe it is. it means you have other symptoms like dyskinesia. and we're able to show that data back to patients in real time. so they get a sort of graph of how their symptoms are evolving. and they can look at that after each dose or over each day. and again, we've, you know, we launched to be useful for people who already have a diagnosis and are maybe taking medications. but what we've noticed is as we've kind of grown, that there have been more of these folks that don't necessarily even have a parkinson's diagnosis yet, but

they're curious. maybe their, their, their dad had parkinson's, or maybe they took a genetic test and they want to understand maybe what their symptom burden is. so it was really encouraging to see that these researchers at rochester, who we know pretty well, saw a lot of the same things and actually were able to get it published in nature medicine. >> yeah, it sounds like a pretty important breakthrough. so how can parkinson's patients use the data that's collected through this app to make lifestyle decisions about the best ways for them to manage their disease and the symptoms that come with it? >> yeah. so if you're very early or maybe at risk of parkinson's, i think one thing that you want to understand is what is my symptom burden, should i actually be on medication? or maybe i am pretty early and i just need to focus on lifestyle. so that's the kind of first thing that this type of data that stripe pd might be able to help you with. there's also a lot of recent evidence that very particular, heavy cardio exercise programs will actually have a disease modifying effect

on parkinson's, actually slow or even, halt progression in some cases. and we can use this data to help coach patients through those and make sure that they're achieving those benefits. and then the last thing is there's a lot of knowledge that we have now around environmental exposure to certain chemicals and parkinson's. and so if you're already, kind of seeing some of these early parkinson's symptoms and you maybe have other risk factors, you would maybe take extra lifestyle decisions or, approaches to stay away from some of those chemicals. >> all right. and then so how how does the app help to with doctors crafting the best care plan for parkinson's patients? and how can this help develop new treatments in the future? >> yeah, both good questions. so for doctors, we help present this information in a way that they can digest in about 15 to 30s. and in the context of a patient and kind of where they are in their disease, help, say, actually, we maybe need to adjust your medication in a certain way, or we need maybe

you're a candidate for this new therapy or even actually, you'd be a really good fit for this clinical trial that's going on. and so it's really about matching patients to the right therapy as quickly as possible. and we help clinicians do that. on the new therapy side, it's, it's really interesting that a lot of the, the newest, most promising therapies for parkinson's are really designed to be administered to patients at the earliest stages. so they're what are called neuroprotective there. so you don't actually lose any of those neurons in the first place. and so for folks that are, you know, maybe downloading stripe pd and seeing that they have some of these early parkinson's symptoms, one of the things we try to help with is get them connected to a clinical trial that might be a good fit for them. so they have a shot at some of that early stage experimental medicine that might have some long term disease modifying effect for them. >> all right. well, really important research here and really important work that you and your colleagues are doing. that is the ceo of roon labs, brian pepin. thank you for the time. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much. sure. >> coming up, we are live with

along with former interim mayor mark farrell and philanthropist daniel lurie. when the discussion shifted to san francisco's open air drug markets and the fentanyl crisis, both farrell and lurie said if elected, they would immediately call for a state of emergency to bring in state and federal resources. >> we are treating it like the meth and heroin issues of a decade plus ago. a harm reduction approach where literally every single day there are city funded workers in the tenderloin handing out free packets of tin foil to those suffering from drug addiction. that is not the right approach. >> we're spending $700 million a year on our behavioral health system. we've skewed so heavily to harm reduction, which i believe is part of the continuum of care. it's very important, but we forgot about building the beds and treating people. >> mayor breed responded to those calls for a state of emergency, saying she has already brought in state and federal agencies and that police have arrested roughly 3000 drug dealers and users. the mayor

also said she's put resources in place to help those in recovery. >> we've already invested over $20 million for seven new programs helping people to get treatment. the solution is not criticism. the solution is actually being as aggressive as we can to try and get people the treatment and the support that they need. >> all right. for more on last night's debate, we're joined once again by political analyst brian sobel. brian, good to have you back on here. so, you know, we talked a lot about the dynamics here where the mayor is trying to defend her record here on the debate stage. and obviously that's what we hear her doing. and that sound bite and throughout the evening, she's she's looking at some of the ways she's focusing on how she's reduced homelessness in the city, brought down crime rates. she's sort of making the argument that she is orchestrating a comeback in san francisco. how well do you think she did at deflecting the criticism coming from her opponents on that stage? >> alex, i thought she had a very good night, she was in

command of the facts, she was, on that stage with great presence. i think. all in all, i gave her a high marks, over the 90 minute debate. or really, it's a forum. >> okay, let's talk about some of the issues. now, we heard there from some of the, for some of the candidates on issues of homelessness and the drug crisis. we want to play some sound from ash-shafi'i at aaron peskin on what they had to say. >> need bold leadership. >> we need management and accountability. we have organizations in the city that are getting money that are not producing the results. and that's why i led 18 months ago a mandatory audit of the services coming in. the department of homeless and supportive housing to shut down the drug markets and keep residents safe. >> i will implement a community policing strategy in the tenderloin. we need officers on foot patrol day and night. we need a visible and fixed police presence to stop drug dealers where they congregate. >> okay, brian, give us your reaction here to those answers

and what you think or who you think did the best. >> again, i think we had five very articulate people on that stage, very experienced people, daniel laurie being the one outsider in terms of not having held public office, but i thought he held his own last night. i thought there were some good plans put forward. of course, i think viewers and listeners know what the problems are in san francisco, and they were listening carefully for whether the plans put forward by these other candidates were realistic, given the circumstances on the ground. but all in all, it was a civil forum. i thought the audience did very well. i thought if people tuned in and listened, they learned a lot about the candidates and the backers of each of those candidates. i they walked away saying, hey, my, my candidate, delivered, there is a sort of an order of finish that i think, you know, emerged last night that really started with,

london breed, and, closely followed by mark farrell. these are just my opinion from watching the debate. and then daniel laurie, peskin and safai, you know, in the mix somewhere after really breed and feral. >> let's talk about sort of that dynamic there with daniel lurie and the other candidates, all in city government for quite some time. and, you know, he's trying to carve out that lane as an outsider and basically saying to, to voters, look, these folks have been in office for a while and here's what we've gotten here. but but sort of the flip side of that coin was a lot of folks saying to laurie, look, you don't know what it's like to be in government and to have to, to work within the constraints of the city's budget. what did you make of those dynamics, the city insiders versus the outsider? >> well, i think you've characterized it, well, i think only london breed and mark farrell, who was an interim mayor, know what it's like to be in the mayor's office. and

during that, forum last night, you saw farrell go back at lori saying, you know, essentially, i've actually lived a life. so while a proposal may be made about about money for the police department or anything else until you're sitting in that chair and having to make hard choices, you really don't know what you're talking about, that was one of the, notable exchanges in last night's, forum , because mostly a forum delivers an opportunity for each candidate to put forward their ideas, and it mainly goes unchallenged. and so while there was some cross traffic last night, it wasn't to the extreme. >> we actually have that clip that you're referencing. i'd like to play it for our viewers so they can see that exchange between the two, this is the experience debate portion between former interim mayor mark farrell and daniel lurie. >> a mayor has to stand by and support our public safety and our first responders. >> daniel, this is where your

inexperience shows you have not been part of the budget committee in city hall. you have not been mayor of the city of san francisco. there are competing priorities every single day. >> okay. does that attack play? well? i guess is the question. >> well, the inside outside sort of scenario has its, pluses and minuses, for daniel lurie, he has a perfect opportunity to say to the other four people, you've had your chance and nothing's gotten better. he said that last night, on the other hand, you have two people who have actually been in the mayor's office saying, hey, it is not as easy as it looks. and we've got competing interests and we're trying to deal with that. it's sort of what you take away from it, we elected a president of the united states with no real inside. if you want to call it that experience, because a lot of people in the united states said, hey, that's exactly what we want. we want somebody who isn't part of the system. and we'll see how this plays out in san francisco.

>> and what do you think here as we wrap up, brian? i mean, was there any performance that you saw or any performances that you saw last night that that is likely to really shift a decent number of voters in the direction of one candidate or another? >> no, not necessarily. alex. i thought it was a, you know, somewhat routine forum like you see in many cities and counties, they've got their points across. but, i thought, again, london breed spoke straight to the audience. so did mark farrell, aaron, reading a little bit too much off, his cue cards, but all in all, i think all five, made their points and if you lean to any of those candidates, you think they did pretty well. and in fact, they all did. >> yeah. and right before we let you go, i just want to mention there was a separate moment where they talked about public safety. and mayor breed did point out the fact that there's something to be said about not just having police funding. it's the other resources that you do to approach, calls for help and sending other resources to 911

calls. i think that was an interesting topic as well. yeah but i think that moving forward. yeah, exactly. they covered a lot of ground and kind of wanted to get that in there because that's public safety. and the fact that the police department is understaffed is one of the big issues that i think voters are thinking about in san francisco, no question about that. >> and mark farrell touched on on that as well. and at the end of the day, we even heard about the favorite burrito places and some other things. so it kind of ran the gamut last night. yeah. >> we heard about the favorite, you know, favorite burrito spots. yeah, of course, in san francisco, all right. political analyst brian sobel, appreciate the insight here this afternoon. and wet let you know if you missed last night's first san francisco mayoral debate. you can still watch it in its entirety. it's available on ktvu smart tv app. we'veolyou about it. it's called fox local. it's also up at the ktvu youtube channel. up next on the four this afternoon, the faa administrator facing some tough questions from lawmakers today about boeing's aircraft manufacturing processes and

production quality. while he says his agency is at least partly to blame dupixent helps people with asthma breathe better in as little as 2 weeks. and when you can breathe better, what isn't better? this is better. this is better. that's better. and that. even this. dupixent is an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. that's pretty good! dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. it can reduce or even eliminate oral steroids. and doesn't that make things better? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. tell your doctor right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection.

don't change or stop asthma medicines including steroids, without talking to your doctor. when you can get more out of your lungs, you can du more with less asthma. and isn't that better? ask your doctor about dupixent, the most prescribed biologic in asthma.

violations at boeing. as fox's mike emanuel tells us, the faa administrator says the agency was too hands off and should

have been more aware of manufacturing problems inside of boeing. >> the head of the faa admitting for the first time on thursday that the agency could have done more to prevent recent airline safety incidents, including the january mid-air emergency that saw a door panel blow out of an alaska airlines flight. faa administrator matt whitaker getting grilled by lawmakers on the senate commerce committee, many of whom blame the agency for what some have called lax oversight of boeing's safety procedures, claiming a culture of trust has been eroded across the organization. the turbulence today should have been on their radar for years, and personally, i think the faa has a role. the january incident led to significant allegations against boeing, with some officials accusing the manufacturer of cutting corners and maximizing profits at the expense of safety. the faa is now boosting the use of in-person inspectors at boeing factories, and a ban on the boeing max nine remains in effect. whitaker claims it's

part of a big cultural shift toward putting safety front and center. >> or is there a month by month expectation of how boeing returns to production levels? there is not, and that has not been part of our discussions. our discussions have been focused around making sure these safety metrics are in place and moving forward. >> whitaker is vowing to be more aggressive when it comes to quality control. >> we have been too much in reactive mode, waiting for some event to occur, so we're shifting to a much more proactive approach. last month, boeing sent a quality improvement plan to the faa. >> it is reportedly still under review. in washington, mike emanuel, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. back now to bay area weather. our latest camera takes us to the east bay. this is overlooking highway four in bay point. and those dry grass hills of the east bay kind of shows you how dry it is out there. meteorologist mark demaio joining us back now with a look

at our weather. hi, mark. hi there. >> christina. yeah, things have been drying up over the past few weeks, but also a bit of a cool down today here in the bay area. so no major heat? no, no more triple digits, no more heat advisories. a little bit of a warm up, though, as we do move into your friday forecast in the sierra. as always, it's an interesting time of year because they have some drastic changes going back into may, showing you still the snow coverage here. this from tahoe's west shore. compare that to today. and as you can see here, not much snow to show you in this picture. just some sunshine, but also some cloud buildups and some thunderstorms in the sierra developing this afternoon. now here in the bay area you can see the bottom row here. the highs from today we have been cooling off. no more no more triple digits. and then you can see the forecast for tomorrow. it will be warmer. we're not expecting an extreme heat but still the warmest locations for your friday. we'll be getting close to 90 degrees now here is what we're watching for sunday and into monday. we're going to see a stronger northerly breeze develop and as a result, fire weather watch could be possible here in the bay area you can see

these areas in yellow. those represent the areas already under a fire. weather watch for sunday and monday. this does include lake county, portions of solano county as well. so the winds will be gusting to maybe 40 miles an hour. it is that dry wind as well. there's the chance this could be this could expand across portions of northern california. so, you know, the past few days we've been talking about heat. the heat is really not linked to fire weather watches or red flag warnings. it's mainly the dry wind. and that will be a concern over the next several days, showing you this. the overall temperature change over tuesday was a hot day. we have cooled off, but then as we do move into your friday, we will see a bump in those numbers. here is the satellite showing you this. you can see those cloud build up some thunderstorms in the southern sierra this afternoon. and then we have the low clouds and fog for monterey bay up and down the coastline here closer to half moon bay, san francisco, the marin headlands and basically a cloudy, cool day in san francisco. all day long. current numbers reflect the those conditions out there. everybody a bit cooler compared

to this time yesterday. everybody has a minus sign and we're showing you a chilly 57 degrees in san francisco. san jose 74, fairfield, 76, in santa rosa right now in the lower 70s at 71, the winds have been picking up, especially yesterday. and right now we have some gusty conditions out toward napa, out toward fairfield, gusting to nearly 30 miles an hour. sfo winds out of the west at about 21 miles an hour. here's our live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge. you get the idea. here we have the cloud cover. really did not clear much at all today for this portion of the region, and the clouds will kind of develop and push back into the bay overnight. so tomorrow morning, partly cloudy skies, some patchy fog, temperatures will be in the 50s. here is the forecast model. it does increase the sunshine tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow you can see those brighter colors indicating that warm up 60 70s all the way to the upper 80s to right around 90 degrees. so here's the setup. we're watching this system up here to our north. another area of low pressure kind of keeping our marine layer in check down

in southern california. just a change in the wind direction that will lead to that warm up for your friday. and then as we take a look into sunday and into monday, this will be the pattern that will generate those stronger winds later in the weekend and into monday. and that could be linked up with that fire weather watch. so something to be watching closely over the next several days. highs for tomorrow will be warmer than today. 60s 70s warmest locations getting close to 90 degrees out towards santa rosa and fairfield. so we are warming up inland. and here's a look ahead. your five day forecast temperatures do cool off a little bit by saturday. no major boost in temperatures. the winds do pick up though throughout the day on sunday for father's day. cooler pattern for monday as well with those gusty winds and then warming up by tuesday into next week. so cool today. relatively cool in a few spots. and then we're going to warm up those numbers for tomorrow. >> sounds good mark. thank you. we have more news headed your way. but first a live look at traffic conditions along the san mateo bridge. this afternoon. traffic moving pretty smoothly in both directions, though it is

starting to get pretty heavy on that westbound side

as an official high school sport here in california. >> as ktvu bailey o'carroll reports, it comes as the game is experiencing a boom in popularity following team usa's unprecedented upset last week over powerhouse pakistan. >> it's been growing and like every day new people come and

they ask me, oh wait, what's what are you playing? how do i play? how do you play this? how do you hold the bat? and sometimes it's the teachers as well. >> cricket is the second most played sport on the planet, though less than a quarter of a million people play in the u.s. the country could just be cricket's next frontier, according to the california cricket association. hundreds of kids and their parents in the south bay want the sport to be recognized by the california interscholastic federation, the official governing body of high school sports in the state, as a way to grow the game, they and so many love. >> there is a break in the pathway when they go to high school. that is really heartbreaking right now. >> some students in the south bay are introduced to the game as a part of their physical education classes in middle school, but once they reach high school, those opportunities vanish. >> high school brings its demands and you have to sacrifice something to get something. and the fact that you don't get any credits playing cricket. he was heartbroken. not only him, a bunch of his friends at high school, they were all wondering, what do i do now?

>> years after they started working to get the sport recognized, state assemblyman ash kalra joined the fight, officially drafting a resolution or official request that the cif recognize the sport. >> i'm hoping that we can get it done over the next couple of years, but obviously we'll have to work with the department of education. we'll have to work with the administration and legislative leadership because, you know, there will obviously be some costs involved in getting that up and going. >> and this could be the group's golden opportunity. the sport is booming. team usa is fresh off one of the biggest upsets in the history of cricket, just last week, beating the pakistani national team in the world cup and for the first time in more than 120 years, the sport will be featured at the 2028 olympic games in los angeles. but even then, getting the sport recognized by the cif is no easy process. >> there's a lot of convincing that you have to do the main concern the group's been met with. >> i think it's all about us proving that there are enough

players and there's enough momentum, so what actually needs to happen for cricket to be recognized by the cif? >> well, the proposal would need to be introduced at the cif league meeting and then have to be voted on by a whole slew of cif represents from across the state. for instance, it took them years to pass girls flag football. now we did reach out to them to see if they were aware of this request for cricket to be sanctioned by them officially. they did not respond to our request for comment in cupertino. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> hot dog eating champion joey chestnut isn't allowed to compete in nathan's famous 4th of july hot dog eating contest, but he will be facing off with a top rival in a new competition. netflix has announced it will be hosting a live head to head hot dog eating contest between chestnut and takeru kobayashi. this will happen on september 2nd. the contest is titled chestnut versus kobayashi unfinished beef, and it will

formation foxes eban brown tells us the low tech way that could keep voters from falling for fakes. >> the presidential election season is ramping up, and so are the warnings about deep fake technology being used to disrupt the campaign, leaving voters looking for a way to determine source reliability in real time. alex fink is the ceo of other web, which focuses on filtering out fake news. he says ranking sources often comes down to determining motivation. >> financial news outlets tend to do really well because they have an incentive not to get things wrong. social media, on the other hand, the incentive is to get things to be as loud as possible, and this issue isn't going away anytime soon. >> academy award nominee scarlett johansson was recently invited to testify before congress about a deepfake of her voice being used by an ai company, underscoring the difficulty of keeping up with the technology and the danger posed by scammers as ai

accelerates threats to the election, the technology has suddenly taken a leap and it's become so good that most people don't realize what it's capable of. and with regulation to regulate deep fakes remaining stalled, some experts now say the best way for folks to protect themselves is through old fashioned skepticism with users urged to think critically about how well they know the source of the material and whether it seems too good to be true. >> start thinking of audio recordings and video as hearsay, as gossip, something that requires additional verification. >> lawmakers with the house ai committee have already introduced legislation that would protect consumers from deepfakes, but there's no word on when it will come up for a vote in miami, evan brown, fox news. >> ktvu, fox two news at five starts now. now at five alameda county's top prosecutor finds herself on the other end of a new lawsuit. the concerning allegations of racism and concealing records in the
