we want to get back to the breaking news. it is happening in san anselmo. sky 7 is live where there is a bear up in a tree. we saw it quite clearly. liz kreutz is there live with the latest. you have been hanging out with the families who have been watching this all unfold >>nnertime.

because they are trying to stop the bear from actually coming down. they are waiting for fish and wildlife to come down and they do not want the bid to come down because then i have to deal with what happens if the bear is actually on the ground in the backyard. there are folks around and they are asking if the bear comes down for us to go inside. i will turn this around and show you video of the bear. the bear has climbed a little bit down the tree since we last spoke. standby. >> it is a little bright with the sun but the bear is right there in the tree. i am going to try and zoom in. i know it is kind of right on it right there. it is hard to see but the bear is right there hanging out. we did speak earlier to the homeowner of this house. his name is larry. he had just come home from work and he took a look

the commotion. >> i was working downtown. my wife informed me at about r trees in our backyard and it is filled with police and firemen. i said are you kidding me? a bear? we don't really much the a deer wa othe street much less a bear. >> i have a better view. we are able to focus and zoom in. you can see it's face right there. it is kind of hanging out in the tree leavy leaves. the banking you hear is from central marin police trying to keep it up there. there are about 10 officers in the backyard. i am also here right now with david -- hey david. i will turn >> it is dinnertime. you are here with friends and family. it is quite the scene. >> it has been pretty wild. i went to the local preschool and all of our families mets must have heard the news and started texting. we are one block from dfrom dfrd r

>> have you ever seen anything like this? >> that is as much excitement. >> you guys can see the bear up there in the tree hanging out a little sad. we really hope this bear is okay and we will continue to be safe. we hope it continues to be safe for everybody with the bear and the trees. that is the latest here. we are going to stay here until we see what happens. we are waiting for fish and wildlife. right now pots and pans are banging and we are hoping for the best that the stays up there. i have been mesmerized by looking at this bear. did you mention possibly the latest on a timeframe?

there is a lot of banging going on trying to keep the bear >> yeah. they were using pans from the trashbin and things lililililili as well. david was the one who gave them some pots and pans. right now we haven't gotten an update on when we are going to actually get a fish and wildlife official care. we hope it would be soon. hopefully the person arrives soon and everything can resolve safely. >> yes. that is the hope. maybe if we can find that turtle. >> thank you so much liz. we will check back with you. >> exactly! >> what an unexpected scene. >> let's move on for the time being. we will keep you updated. >> may is agent pacific american heritage month.heritag.

the surge in attacks against the a api community has shaped the commitment tocommitment toco voices. >> dion lem shows us the power of how collectively our voices can make change. >> a few years ago, a friend of mine sent me a message asking if i could help a neighbor who heard there was a grandma beaten and left for dead at a playground in san francisco. i remember very vividlyvery vivy accompanying the message was the photo of a tiny grandma. she was crumpled there up on the ground and i stared at it for a very long time thinking this looks exactly like my own grandma. it took me days to convince this woman's granddaughter to talk to to to to to to to

asian americans, this unwritten cultural stigma that talking out is bad. staying in our lane as the way to success and to not cause a fuss. a law enforcement official told me these attacks weren't anything new. they had been happening for decades. they even went so far as to call them that they areas dirty little secret. asian americans wouldn't report these crimes because they didn't feel like they would be hurt. no one would pay attention or even care. when the pandemic broke i made a promise that i would champion their stories out of the darkness so finally after all of these years these families could feel like they had a voice. the story that really changed everything for me was the older asian man out collecting empty cans to make a few extra dollars for his family in francisco. he was so brutally attacked and it was all caught on camera. not just physically but by racial slurs. he was humiliated reduced to tiers. i remember so vividly watching that over and over and thinking

oh my gosh! he looks just like my own fault there. there was video and you could see how clear the hate was. i was so hesitant to share this on social media because >> the video of that man's pain and suffering hit a nerve so much so that the video was shared by millions of people around the country lot less scary than filing the police report. that expands to acts of aggression. the family was on a hike and were told to go back to where

they came from by a white former hr executive from a major bay area company. asian americans became more bold. as i was getting more tipped off, more and more of the stories became more violent. >> after sharing stories with me, life changed dramatically. after sharing she has more than enough now to buy a new car. his perpetrator was arrested days later and attention brought in new patrons stopped by to offer words of support and purchase gas. a woman whose grandmother was beaten on the playground she felt empowered enough to start an organization to help other people that have been attacked. when they see the results their willingness to trust snowballs into something incredible.

just one voice to say let me help you. i saw it in oakland after there were more than a dozen attacks on asian americans in the span of two weeks. the president of the chinatown chamber of commerce banded shop owners together and asked them to let them use surveillance video and share with me. they wouldn't have to be vulnerable and go on camera but together they would be stronger. >> since the recording of these that have been endless office to help. a latino man who volunteered to chaperone seniors as they did their daily errands. i made a promise to myself that instead of seeing this as a burden, the great responsibility of telling these people stories it is also a blessing as well. things are changing not just in my newsroom but around the

country. people are joining the fight. that is lifting the burden. we are doing this together. through the power all of us can have a stronger voice and truly make change in this world. powerful words. tomorrow we are dedicating the entire 4:00 p.m. our to a listens bay area conversation stop the hate. learn what you can do to help protect our aapi communities . some people have trouble getting their edd benefits. we have told you all it's beauty, - [macaw vo] pretty boy. - or the beast. - the beauty, - [macaw vo] pretty boy. has failed. the beast, john cox, will shake up sacramento, cut taxes.

research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed... and get to and stay undetectable... can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients... or if you take dofetilide. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while taking dovato. do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor,... as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including... allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c,... or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea,... diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it.
