good to say thank you for allowing us to be part of your morning. the thing about it is, it is friday the >> good and maybe not go you can take us with you with roku, amazon fire, online. >> first we want to start with a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect. we have some really nice weather with a nice sunrise in south bay as temperatures in san jose start in the mid 50s. lunchtime, 72 degrees and reaching to the upper 70s today. a little bit warmer than yesterday afternoon, up to 81 in livermore where we are going to feel warmth in the inland valleys but not so much in san francisco. our temperatures peaking tomorrow hit low 90s in

fairfield but mostly upper 80s for martinez. we will talk about the things going on this weekend and the forecast coming up in a few minutes already thank you. an early tweet from the world's richest man, never a dull moment with elon musk. he is saying his deal to buy twitter is on hold. >> he followed that tweet with another one saying he was still committed to the deal. mixed messages and a strange reason this came up. musk was reacting to a new report that shows 5% of users are fake. that's less than thought. that would seem to be good news but for musk tweets on hold pending details that spam fake accounts do represent less than 5% of users. a few hours later he adds still committed to acquisition. why would he care about a

report twitter's spam bot problem wasn't as big as we thought? fixing the problem was going to be one of musk's priorities after he took over twitter. he seems to be indicating maybe i don't have to buy twitter if one of the big things i wanted to fix isn't broken in the first place. i can't get inside musk's head but i will tell you, we will get up very early in the morning to go over what we will talk about on today in the bay. one of the things we were going to talk about was that musk was way over paying for twitter. our artists were making graphics that said musk is paying too much for twitter. musk was offering $54 a share for a company wall street says wasn't worth that much, far less after twitter's poor financial reports last month, worth even less now after he's cast doubt on the deal. is musk just driving the price down backing out of a deal based on what most of us would think is good news? twitter shares are down 12%

premarket this morning after musk's tweet. >> that means he is moving the market and if i remember from your reporting on other topics, you are not supposed to do that. >> you are not supposed to do that. you would think he would get into trouble with sec. i am not getting in his head. i can say he is not afraid of the sec at all. he calls them names. you may recall he called them a name we couldn't say on television. is he moving markets? you bet. is he afraid of the enforcement? doesn't seem like it. >> thanks. we'll wait to see how the markets hop. new help on the way for many families struggling to make it in the bay. governor gavin newsom is laying out a new $18 billion plan to offset sky rocketing inflation. >> bob, let's talk about this. this proposal would help commuters being hit really hard at the pump.

>> think about it. people gaper gallon of gas. budget plan that include this $18.1 billion inflation relief package. you can see the details, the break down on your tv screen. the majority of the money, $11 billion, would go to $400 checks for vehicle owners, up to two per owners, 750 million for three months of free public transportation. grants would be given to communities. there is money for emergency rental assistance, past due utility bills, thousand dollar checks for hospital and nursing homeworkers, expansion of healthcare among middle class, that's healthcare insurance, waiver of child for low income

families. the inflation is forcing many retirees to go back to work again like 67-year-old tina who lives in florida. she retired 20 years ago after 20 years in the navy. >> my rent has gone up. it's gone up considerably. my retirement pay is not in line with the rent increase. i pay my taxes. i served in the struggling and go back to work right now? >> last night the state announced california per hour increase. that's because a 2016 law requires the increase if inflation goes up by more than 7% between 2021 and 2022. fiscal years, california department of finance projects inflation for fiscal 2022 will be 7.6% higher than the year

before. >> thank you, bob. 6:06. developing in kyiv, first russian war crimes case is getting underway. a russian soldier accused of killing unarmed civilian is going on trial. so far he has not entered a plea. the kremlin warning finland it will retaliate if finland follows through on immediate plans to join nato. this is as russian forces face new losses in eastern ukraine where ukrainian troops halted russian push to create a strategic military crossing. the european union is commenting and committing to ukraine more than $500 million equipment. new this morning, large amo of fentanyl and large scale. fentanyl overdoses, they're up

55% according to the dea. ginger, you crisis. what are they saying t this? >> reporter: what they're saying is it is really making or shedding light into how much fentanyl is out there and how lethal it can be for users. the discoveries may not make a significant dent but for the meantime they're making streets a little bit safer. it was a terrifying discovery days ago by alameda sheriffs department. 15 pounds fentanyl, one kilo heroine and $139,000 cash inside a car at a high school parking lot in oakland. the even more alarming part of the bust, the drugs resembled candy. >> the consumption of fentanyl, either swallowing it or inhaling it intranasally, that can result in overdose for somebody who is not expecting to use fentanyl for sure.

>> reporter: another bust in santa clara county seized fentanyl poised for 28,000 lethal doses. a huge discovery weeks ago again in alameda county, a narcotics task force seized over $4 million of illicit fent hayward. do the busts make a dent in the crisis? dea says the synthetic opioid accounts for nearly two thirds of all overdose deaths. >> it is potency. however, it is also the rapidness of its effect. with as few as three, four, five, 15 minutes. >> reporter: from san francisco to santa clara and across the bay area, fentanyl deaths are climbing. >> fentanyl is between 80 and 100 times more potent than heroine or opiates. there is no safe amount of fentanyl that anyone should be

using. >> reporter: more alarming numbers putting really that bigger picture into context shared by experts. in 2019 the number of fentanyl deaths in santa clara was five. that jumped to 135 over in 2021 and in san francisco over 90% or around 90% of 580 opioid related deaths were fentanyl related. the numbers are alarming, marcus, and this is really shedding light on the crisis and how it is impacting even younger people. >> the growth of the numbers is serious this problem is. ginger, thank you.on a pilot pr pass that would be compatible with all 26 other bay area transit agencies. bart's financial director says

the pilot program will likely start this summer and initially will only be provided to college students. however, those who take part will have transit fees paid for kind of as a bonus for participating. the two year program is expected to cost bart about $6 million. we are looking live at san jose as the sun starts to come up over the mountains there in the distance. we are expecting warmer temperatures too, right? yes, it's going to be heating up this afternoon but mostly for inland areas. if you are near the coast today, you won't notice much of a difference today. as we take a live look outside in palo alto, we are starting at 50 degrees with a few clouds in the mix. look at our trend throughout morning into the day, we'll be about 71 degrees at 1:00. something cool to see online, you will be able to watch spacex falcon 9 launch, they're about to put 53 satellites into space. you will see that lift off at 3:07 and then it comes back and

it is expected to bring thousands to the area, so many in fact that at panhandle park a large mobile cell tower is being installed to help handle expected influx of cell phone users. with that many people, parking is going to be an issue. we spoke with a spokesman for bart and he says the transit system is ready to handle the masses and has plans for some major routes. >> we are opening early for beta breakers. what's important to know is we are only opening nine stations, and we'll have the trains that will stop at embarcadero and the nine stations are listed on our website. there is free parking. you need to have a clipper card or load clipper on to your phone. >> reporter: it's important to note, talking to jimmy, if you do plan to ride bart, you will need to have your mask. the mask mandate is in place until at least july. it's probably best to keep it in your pocket, on your wrist,

a chain, wherever because some transit systems are requiring a mask. a lot to keep in mind. >> you wear it just for a moment while on public transit. once you are outside, take it off and have a good time. some people at beta breakers, that might be the only thing they are wearing. you have seen that before. >> unfortunately i have been behind folks who are not so costumed. you saw the quick video in the report and the caught the closures. if you have great vision, here is another lips. most of the local closures around beta breakers' route start at 5:00 a.m. sunday. some start saturday night. go to betabreakers.com and you can get all the information including a map like this. it cuts across from the right side to the left where the thumbs up and finish line are along highway 1. you can cross

over basically at two spots. cross over drive and at the embarcadero which is the start of the race. that will be an issue for folks traveling north south through the city. if you are traveling along the east bay, bart system will have ac transit because all weekend that's got bart track work going on unfortunately. that will be delay through hayward and union city areas. mark that at the top. bart is running earlier trains. check the website and have your clipper card. caltrain is also running a couple extra trains. muni system is running buses. keep in mind it will have reroutes because of the closures. the rest of the drive should be fine but the bay bridge will be slower as well as a lot of folks head in. >> thanks. breaking news just in, russian authorities were extended wnba star brittney griner's detention for another month. she was detained at a moscow

>> senator rand paul of kentucky, we often see the president announce new weapons going to ukraine but it is congress that votes to send them and supplies the money. in this case, senate needed everyone to agree to vote and then the vote would be overwhelmingly in favor. senator rand paul was able to use a procedural rule to bring the process to a halt. senator paul wants more oversight over how the money is spent. the other senator from kentucky fellow republican mitch mcconnell is not happy, saying ukraine is only asking for resources they need to defend themselves against this deranged invasion and needs this help now. there is a lot going on in the war this morning. the russians have reportedly withdrawn from kharkiv. so far out to the east in fact that ukraine's artillery can't

reach them. finns are one step closer to joining. putin says he went to war in ukraine because he was concerned about nato getting too close. here is finland and it's going to get closer because of it. at home, the white house issued this picture of the president on a phone call pushing to accelerate manufacturer of baby formula. there is really very little a president can do in a situation like this except loosen import rauls so we can bring in more from overseas. we make about 98% of the western world's baby formula. we send it to them. >> we are going to cut every element of red tape we can. we are going to work with manufacturers, import more to expedite this as quickly as possible. >> opponents are using baby formula as a political weapon. the governor of texas saying biden administration is sending baby formula to illegal immigrants, his words, at the border at a time when american

parents can't find it on shelves. strictly speaking, that's true in that the u.s. government is required by law to feed people it detains. if those detainees are babies, they're going to get baby formula. the law says they have to have access to water and medical care as well. in that sense, it is no different than a local county jail which is also required by law and simple decency to buy food to feed the people inside of it. the difference here is your local county jail doesn't have babies in it. we will fact check anything you would like. send it to me on social media on facebook. >> thank you. we are celebrating asian american pacific islander heritage month and this week mike had an opportunity to sit with a fremont business owner and tiktok creator. >> a first generation immigrant
