protesters, republican candidate donald trump and his entourage were forced to stop their cars on highway 101. from sky7 hd they're seen walking through two concrete barriers and entering through the back of the hotel. trump quickly departed the hotel following his speech yet the demonstrations continued. at one point, a protester tried to burn an american flag. the flag was eventually taken away by another demonstrator. >> this is not the america we want. we want quality self inclusion, love, kindness, compassion. >> reporter: this weekend's convention is expected to la tract more protesters. in burlingame, lyanne my len des, abc schaech news. despite the chaos outside, the scene inside the hyatt was relatively calm as trump tried to solidify his support among republicans. >> laura anthony has that part of the story. >> reporter: kristen, with his own dramatic entrance, trump gave himself quite an act to follow. and many felt that his speech

inside the hyatt here behind me fell short, at least if it was meant to unify california republicans behind him. after making a most unusual entrance into the burlingame hyatt, donald trump used it as his opening line to california republicans. >> then we went under a fence and through a fence, and oh, boy, i felt like i was crossing the border actually. >> reporter: trump was speaking to a room filled mostly with supporterers who paid $100 a plate to be there. >> it says latinos for the wall. >> reporter: in some cases they were confronted by angry protesters on the way in. >> they cussed me out. they were coming up against me up in my face. i just told them that's a problem. we're tired of supporting people like you. >> if there's not unity and i mean really good, solidarity, unity. >> reporter: trump alluded to unifying the party throughout his address, he also peppered it with his famine sults of rival past.

>> announcer: this is abc 7 news. a sexual assault case at uc berkeley is showing just how tricky it can be to try to crack down on the offense when the only witnesses are the two people involved. abc 7 news anchor eric thomas is live on the cal campus to explain. eric? >> reporter: you know they're very sensitive about sexual assault and harassment cases here at uc berkeley since they've had several high-profile incidents recently. today is one of those situations that shows you how tricky it can be to apply the law and to apply regulations when only the two people involved really know what happened. yesterday morning berkeley police came to the phi gamma delta house on the uc campus and arrested a member for allegedly sexually assaulting a female student back in february. but today the d.a.'s office reviewed the case and declined to file charges. the incident shows just how tricky these cases can be since they are built around new state law and university policy that

requires both partners to say yes to sex. students like alex are taught that during freshman orientation as well as online. they're also taught about the rules when one party is drunk, high, or passed out. >> they said their consent doesn't count because they're intoxicated. >> reporter: former stanford swimmer brock turner was found guilty last month of sexual assault under similar circumstances. he was accused of assaulting an intoxicated and unconscious young woman outside a fraternity last year. but sometimes these cases are he said/she said and female students at uc say sometimes the deck is stacked against them. >> in the past there have been some level of wanting to protect their reputation more so hopefully things are changing for the better. >> not only are they not doing enough they're actively i would say trying to cover up how bad it is. >> reporter: now it's university policy to uc berkeley's policy reads, it is the responsibility of each person to ensure they have the affirmative consent of the other to engage in sexual

activity. lack of protest, lack of resistance or silence do not alone constitute consent. in berkeley, eric thomas, abc 7 news. tonight police in the south bay are looking for help finding a man caught on surveillance video stealing from an electronics store. campbell police say the thefts happened at the fry's electronics on hamilton avenue. they say this man has stolen from fry's four times and tried a fifth time more than $2,000 of merchandise is gone missing during these thefts which started last december. the centers for disease control today confirmed the first u.s. death linked to the zika virus. the agency says the death involved a man in puerto rico dealing with a blood ailment. meantime, researchers say they've detected the virus in the asian tiger mosquito. the finding increases the number of states potentially at risk for transmission of the disease. it comes a day after the fda approved the first commercial test to diagnose zika. a new study about the
