was scared and nervous. >> reporter: the palace of fine arts is a hot spot for car break ins. that's why these signs are posted all around it. but this type of attack is forcing some photographers to stay away. >> it changes things. i think possibly next year i wouldn't have that many shoots in sf anymore. >> reporter: but this wedding photographer says that's not an option. her livelihood depends on this location. >> all my couples are traveling from out of state and want the most signature locations. >> reporter: she says she'll just have to be more careful. >> asian female photographer, usually by myself. i'm an easy target for them. >> reporter: how does that make you feel? >> very vulnerable. >> reporter: the victim has a bloody head from repeated blows. he says the reason he refused to give up the cameras, he wanted to save the pictures for his clients. in san francisco, i'm da lin, kpix 5. tonight, police are searching for the suspects that

robbed a jewelry store in the san pablo town center along interstate 80 on san pablo dam road. multiple suspects came in and robbed the store at gun point, and then got away. police are still investigating. no further description of the suspects have been released. some 48,000 workers from the university of california are set to begin striking at all ten campuses tomorrow. they're demanding better pay and expanded family leave among other things. and with teacher assistance, graders, researchers, and more all set to join the picket line, some classes could be shut down ahead of final exams in december. the napa valley film festival is happening this weekend. it's a celebration of film, and of course being in napa valley, food and wine as well. tonight festival organizers honored an actor on the rise after her break out role in the hit movie everything everywhere all at once. she spoke with us about

but i see myself in that story. >> i don't believe you. >> reporter: the emotional movie is believed to be an oscars contender, and has already broken records at the box office. it's the independent studio a24's highest grossing release ever and also stephanie's first feature film. growing up she didn't see anyone like her on the big screen. >> it's crazy to reflect on even when i was coming up that i was very much an only in a lot of the rooms i was in, and i think i've just always been really a passionate person and bull headed and stubborn probably to a fault. >> reporter: she's now creating space for aspiring asian-american actors. speaking to this cultural moment, how do you feel? because as a community we've experienced so much heartbreak and trauma, but there's also so much to celebrate. >> totally. i think one of my

favorite things about the movie is it's about so many things that it's able to somehow transcend identity politics. >> reporter: the napa valley film festival presented her with the rising star award, a celebratory diner at the culinary institute featured asian cuisine and wine inspired by the movie. >> it's isolating to look at media and not see yourself represented. so the fact that this film does represent asian culture in such a beautiful way is very important. >> i feel excited about the future of art to kind of move away from just re-emphasizing how we're different or how we've been marginalized and to really start to embrace diversity in a way that seems seamless. >> reporter: in napa, betty yu, kpix 5. turning now to the election. new numbers out of the santa clara county and san

francisco for the midterm election races still yet to be decided. we start with the san jose's race. the latest numbers show chavez closing the gap on mahan, picking up another thousand votes today. but that still leaves mahan up by about 4,000 votes. turning now to santa clara, same percentage points, 51 to 48, but a much tighter race as incumbent gilmore leads becker by just 451 votes. becker received millions in backing from levi stadium and the 49ers, while the owner of the miami dolphins supports gilmore. ross' real estate company is developing a project in santa clara. and one more race to update you on. the battle to be the next district attorney for san francisco. it's looking more and more likely that london breed backed appointee will win. when you factor in rank

crashes today. but as john ramos shows us, it was all for a good cause. >> reporter: you'll find acres of mint condition vehicles without a scratch or water spot on them. there are a handful of cars here, though, that do not match that description. they rumbled and rattled in from all over the bay area. die hard first responding warriors entering the competition, seeking the thrill of victory, and with luck, the coveted pile of junk trophy. but first they had to qualify. the annual demolition derby is a unique fundraiser for the hayward firefighters 1909 charitable fund. part of the audience was

even more of a kick to do. >> you can see people coming, and the best part is this time you get to actually aim for them. it's fun. >> reporter: when it was all over, the red rocket, representing fremont fire, was declared the winner. the taste of victory was sweet, reminding us all of the old saying, the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys. still ahead, the community coming together for a historic harvest at mission san jose. then, we'll head up to the sierra to see how the first day of early ski season was and if it will be enough to make up for last year's disappointing season. it's early, it is early on that. but we're going to enjoy the fact that there's still snow falling in the sierra right now. tomorrow's going to be a great day to be up there if you wanted to ski. but it's going to be cold in the morning

here from the system. i want to talk to you about morning lows and when

last week i stepped in a bear trap. i should really get rid of it. but... i'll make do. just like i make do without home internet. besides, my phone gets the job done. sometimes. it's not that bad. it is that bad. don't settle. get xfinity home internet for just $24.99 a month for 2 years with no annual contract and a free streaming box. ski season in the sierra is kicking off a full week earlier than expected. skiers and snow boarders had great conditions for their first trip down the mountain thanks to the snowfall we saw this week. resort owners and other local businesses hoping it will bring some much

needed cash and crowds back to the mountains this season. so, it feels like today was a day for the driving restrictions, but tomorrow they're going to see great conditions out there for skiing. yes. if anyone was lucky enough to get up there and they're all tucked in and ready to go, tomorrow will be great. it will be a blue bird day with three to six inches of snow. but here at home, the rain is down. going to first alert doppler, it's going to look weird. you see all the fuzzy green stuff in the central valley and even here in the bay area. that's because the radar has been switched over to its most sensitive setting because it's not raining. they call it clear air mode. so we're seeing a bunch of stuff that's not rain. i'll turn it off, and we'll get a much clearer view of what's falling from the sky, and it's just the snow. still going. this is good. this will go for about another two or three hours and continue to put snow down. the better snow is

focused from 50 south. kirkwood, sierra, tahoe. those will be the places with nice fresh tracks tomorrow. but, the system itself, in terms of the bay area, is done except for the cold air. looking at the big picture, you don't really see it. we're right in the middle of this thing. look at the counterclockwise spin centered right over us. it's going to be cold tomorrow morning. you can almost visualize. we had two cold fronts come through, but now you can see the flow in the atmosphere. we're just pulling in the cold air from the north. we'll have relatively clear skies tomorrow morning. it's going to be cold as we go back to the mid-30s. if we just look at what the satellite will look like on the futurecast, maybe a batch of clouds is pulled in, but there's nothing really organized. here's tomorrow morning's lows. 34 in santa rosa, 37 in napa, 38 in vallejo. it's the sheltered north bay valleys that feel it the most. we had pretty dense fog up there this morning. plan on that as a good possibility tomorrow morning as well. if

you're an early morning riser, on the road, in the north bay valleys, give yourself extra time because of the fog. everyone else is doing okay. still cold. the afternoons are just fine. you don't feel this so much in the middle of the day. low 60s and sunshine, you barely notice it. the days are pretty benign. it's the morning lows where you feel the cold air. the other thing important for tomorrow is the beach hazard statement. there's a lot of energy kicked up in the pacific from this series of storms, and tomorrow is a day when that kind of delayed wave action will hit the coast. so be mindful if you're near the water tomorrow. don't turn your back on the waves because we'll have some rip currents and it will be a bit dangerous. we get a little warmer by thursday.

plenty of sunshine too. we're done with the possibility for rain. let's get back to the first seven-day forecast to show you san francisco, oakland, and san jose. same story there. back to you. all right, thank you. dozens of people came out tonight for the 7th annual german san francisco lantern festival in the castro at the german international school of silicon valley's campus here in the city. it's a popular festival celebrated each fall in germany. they had a lantern parade, live performances, and food and games for people to enjoy. the dominican sisters of catholic nuns teamed up with local community members today for their big annual fundraiser, the olive harvest. >> we decided to invite our friends, the people in the community, and that's made all the difference. >> the dominican sisters have

deep roots in the community. their order has been headquarters in fremont for more than 130 years. in years past, three to four tons of olives have been harvested from the trees. the tradition also includes community service and joy. the sisters estimate that as many as 2,000 people, young and old, took part in the harvest. two blocks of sports coming up. 49ers and warriors to get to in a bit, including steph's magnificent week, but straight college football after the break. did they live to fight another day or wind up like this guy? highlights, ouch, coming up next.

the cal bears will kick things off. cal needed a win or their bowl hopes were over. they were in corvallis taking on oregon state. second quarter, and the last thing the bears wanted. they get the punt off, but they were better off getting it blocked. anthony gold returning for the beavers. if anyone touched him here, it was with a fingertip. gold goes 50-yard for the score. cal loses by 28. they're 3 and 7 on the season. next weekend's big game will be two teams playing for pride only. stanford needed to beat 13 utah on the road for their bowl hopes. third quarter, the utes get a 14-yard touchdown. they're up two scores. next utah possession, rising to bernard, breaks a

tackle, and he has reservations for six. utah 42, stanford 7. they fall to 3 and 7. san jose state is already bowl eligible, but needed a win for their mountain west title chances. check out this catch from cooks. take a second look. the sticky bandit! that's a sport center top 10. few plays later, back to cooks, he finds the end zone. the spartans had the 14-0 lead, and then the aztecs exploded. matthews up the middle. san diego state wins 43-27. san jose state falls to 6 and 3. alabama, ole miss. lain kiffin was an offensive coordinator under nick saban at alabama. they were rivals today. bryce young, shimmy, and he finds brooks in the corner of the end zone, tied at 24.

two bama field goals later, ole miss with a chance to miss it. the coverage broken up. alabama gets the win in oxford 30-24 the final tally. all right, we teased it, look away if you didn't like it. that's nebraska's brown getting hit in a place where you do not want to get hit, folks. hurdling, looks cool when you pull it off, but think twice. that can happen. all right, much more to come, including a historical week for steph curry, and odell beckham is

last week i stepped in a bear trap. i should really get rid of it. but... i'll make do. just like i make do without home internet. besides, my phone gets the job done. sometimes. it's not that bad.

it is that bad. don't settle. get xfinity home internet for just $24.99 a month for 2 years with no annual contract and a free streaming box.

chargers and 49ers on the big stage this weekend. it's sunday night football from santa clara. elijah mitchell, deebo samuel set to return for the 49ers, meaning we get to see their offense in full force. but is it at full force? no way the 49ers would add

another star, right? maybe. wide receiver odell beckham jr.'s name has been attached. he's listed them as a top spot. he intends to sign with a team before the end of the month. mvp chants in november are a little much, but curry deserves them right now. he scored 18 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter, hit two game changing threes in the final 90 90 seconds in the game over cleveland. >> just have a lot of confidence i can go out and do whatever i want, and, you know, have fun playing the game and it's nice to see you can kind of will your way into big games like that to get some solid momentum. see how long it lasts. >> curry's last three games, 39 points against orlando, 47 against sacramento, and another 40 piece last night. curry has 30 points or more in 9 of the

11 games he's played in. how about this, he became the oldest player since michael jordan to have consecutive 40 point performances. golden state needed every point to defeat the kings and cavaliers. college hoops. reigning pac-12 freshman of the year jada curry. no relation to steph, but she can shoot like them. she'd 24, cal within 6. too much irish in the fourth quarter, however. nice feed to watson. she finishes in transition. notre dame defeats cal 90-79. one more. we got this one in at the buzzer. women's soccer. santa clara taking on cal in the opening round of the ncaa tournament. in double overtime, for the win. broncos take down cal in walk off fashion and face notre dame on friday. that does it for sports. all right, thank you so much. we'll be right back after this. where has

i'm karen. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva.

for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. i really like the flexibility. and for me, it's one less thing to think about while traveling. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go.
