this is cbs news bay area with reed cowan. >> the father of the men shot

and killed in san francisco by a security guard sits down with cbs news, the father, banko brown is hurt and angry and is demanding justice. thank you for joining us. let's get right to that interview, it's a story that made national news in today we chose to talk to banko brown. the guard says he felt his life was in danger before putting banko brown into what appears to be a chokehold in the moments before , brown got free, stepped outside the store and took that fatal bullet. here is what terry brown told cbs about those moments. >> he just wanted some snacks, that's all it is, you know what i'm saying? and it's not fair, for you to let him go then rearrest him and then let him go, i want him to be accountable for beating my son.

i want him to be accountable for choking him out. i want him to be accountable for shooting him. i want justice. >> that is just a small portion of our interview with terry brown who walks us through the phone call, telling him about banko brown's death and in the video, causing daily protest in san francisco calling on demanding brooke jenkins charge the security guard in the killing. listen. >> say his name. >> banko brown. >> today, you can see the demonstrators, they are doing what the father is doing in this case, applying pressure to jenkins to charge the guard. so far, she is not budging, so protesters are upping their calls to the state attorney general in the u.s. department of justice. this comes after the office released the security footage of the shooting, and after first deciding not to charge the guard for brown's death. the da said during the altercation, brown threatened to stab the guard and the guard feared for

his life acting in self-defense in that moment. however, that video only sparked further outrage from banko brown supporters. i also got the chance to sit down with terry brown and you will hear more from my interview with him coming up tonight at 5:00 , this of course in a run-up to what you will see on the cbs evening news and i will be back on set at 11:00 tonight with the full interview between myself and the father who says that banko brown should be alive today. we hope you tune into that conversation. the opioid crisis and a historic $230 million settlement between san francisco and walgreens. >> reporter: this is the largest award given to any city in this type of case and there are several right now floating around the country. but last year, a federal court found walgreens liable for contributing to the opioid crisis and creating a public nuisance in the city . today's announcement comes just a month

after cvs and walmart also reached settlements with the city of san francisco, regarding the opioid crisis. >> there is no amount of money that will bring back the lives we have lost due to this epidemic. we mourn our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers. but the one thing that we can do as lawyers is to fight for justice. to ensure that those who cause harm are held accountable. >> walgreens did not admit fault and sent us a statement saying the company disputes its liability in the opioid crisis but added that the settlement allows them to focus on the well-being of their patients. in san jose, school resource officers just seized what turned out to be a ghost gone . police got a report of a student who had a firearm. school resource officers arrested the student after a brief chase. there is no

ongoing threat at this hour at the school or in the public. the mayor of san francisco, oakland and san jose joined mayors across the state to talk about the problem of homelessness that we see every day. these are the images they talked about and they asked the state to increase the housing assistance program budget to $2 billion per year and they want it permanently. they say it is to combat what they call our largest humanitarian crisis, also bills moving through the legislature will help them address the underlying issues that lead to homelessness. >> asked someone who was once homeless, as a single mother with her son, with access to safe and dignified housing should not be seen as the american dream. it should be seen as a human right. >> the oakland mayor they are, and governor newsom's recent plan called for $1 billion for spending and homelessness and housing and other prevention programs, half of what they say they need to get the job done.

today there are new questions about senator dianne feinstein about a week after her return to washington dc. reporters asked her about her month-long absence as well as her recovery. we want you to listen to what people are talking about now. >> what have you heard? >> what have i heard about what? >> about your return? >> i have not been gone. you should follow, i haven't been gone, i've been working. i've been here. i have been voting. please, you either know or you don't know. >> so, it is how the senator answered the question that has concerns that some have about her fitness to serve. we talked to the la times reporter asking the senator about her voting and coming back , as well as some political experts. >> this was the first video of senator dianne feinstein

returning to capitol hill after an almost three-month absence. she was in a wheelchair and appearing frail, now there are questions about her cognitive health , after a brief exchange tuesday with a small group of reporters who spoke with her after voting on the senate floor. >> we saw the elevator she would be coming out of and was able to kind of walk alongside her while she was being pushed. >> reporter: benjamin is the politics reporter for the la times and one of the reporters who spoke with diane feinstein. >> she was asked, how did it feel to be back? she said good. we asked, how does a here feel to hear about the people that are asking what you are doing while you were gone? she responded, i've been working, i've been voting. >> it is possible the senator misunderstood the question, but

it's not clear. >> and i said a couple more things. she returned last week after several months of being absent, you know, you can maybe interpret that as meaning she has been working here voting since last tuesday when she returned and took her first on wednesday. but, given the other reporting that has been out there and just how frail she looks, i think there is some question of whether or not she was aware that she had been gone. >> reporter: the california senior senator was absent since february, in the hospital battling shingles and recovering at home before returning to washington. some called on her to resign because without her vote, republicans were able to block president biden's judicial nominees which can have a huge impact on critical issues like abortion rights. democrats need her vote but major questions remain about her health. >> people who were doubtful about senator dianne feinstein and her health, it wasn't

reassuring, it seemed that she wasn't quite clear on what the question meant and one interpretation is that she didn't really know that she had been gone. perhaps she thought the question was only about the past few days. but still, there's questions about the state of her health . >> this is not about age, gender, this is about whether or not she is mentally fit to serve in the u.s. senate. and this might not come to a head in the sense that she is back , and she is doing what democrats need her to do. >> again, some lawmakers have been calling for the senator to resign, given her extended absence. upon her return to dc last week, silicon valley reporter said he was hopeful that she would be able to fulfill her duties but the three-month absence hurt the agenda and the time will tell on the future. we reached out to the senator's representatives, they say they will let us know if she decides to respond to this current

narrative in the media. wells fargo facing legal action, how some say the bank kept minorities from their dreams of having a home. plus, great views but see how the snowmelt could put a damper on a lot of our summer plans in yosemite. typical early summer weather pattern across the bay area with the fog

welcome back everybody, the former san francisco mayor is taking legal action against wells fargo and he is not alone. according to a complaint we obtained, black people and other minorities that applied for home loans were intentionally denied or faced unjustifiable delays. specifically, during the covid pandemic, attorney benjamin crump said this may have affected 750,000 people of color across the united states. >> homeownership is the heart of the american dream and wells fargo has pushed the dream out of reach for thousands of black and brown americans with their blatant discrimination loan practices. >> to that announcement comes a day after wells fargo agreed to pay shareholders $1 billion to settle a class action lawsuit. investors claimed the bank had

not been honest about his progress including his practices following that fake account scandal from years ago. we reached out for a statement but so far they are not talking to us today. here's a look at some of the other top stories we are following, president joe biden travels to japan to join the other leaders at the g7 summit, he will return to washington sunday, that is because time is running out to strike a deal over the much talked about that ceiling. president biden said he is confident a deal will get done. he says he has left ongoing negotiations in the hands of three of his aides while he is away. if a deal is not passed, the u.s. will default by june 1. >> this story is hot on social media right now, prince harry and meghan markle we in a near catastrophic car chase with paparazzi in new york city. their spokesperson said they were followed for more than two hours last night, two law enforcement sources

tell cbs news that apparently nobody was in danger during the pursuit. this comes 26 years after the death of princess diana who died in a car crash in paris in a tunnel while being pursued by paparazzi on motorcycles. first alert weather, we told you about the sierra snow melting very fast and warmer temperatures at yosemite, that is causing concern. the river is raging and rising , and if it floods, it could ruin a lot of your vacation plans, especially if you want to go camping. we sent wilson walker to check it out. >> reporter: the water continues to rise in yosemite valley but probably not at a rate that is going to force significant closures beyond what we have already seen. >> it is amazing, the amount of rain that we got and snowmelt, this is the result of the snowmelt that made this all possible. so it's pretty incredible, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

>> reporter: the force of lower yosemite falls tells the story, water is once again surging through the valley and the river is on the rise. >> we come every year for mother's day and we stay a week, we just absolutely love it here, but this is the most water we have ever seen. >> the river level peaked this morning, just over 10 feet, which is considered flood stage. >> reporter: the river is measured at the bridge where the water rises and falls a bit each day , and for now the park is sticking with its current plan of three closed campgrounds . a bigger question may be how much of the snowpack does this warm stretch burn off? >> it'll be interesting to see how much is left because this is a cycle that could go from mid to late june. >> for the visitors that are here right now, the runoff is everywhere and it is in a sight to behold.

>> it is impressive, there's a lot of new waterfalls that you don't normally see. >> reporter: if the big melt keeps coming in these digestible sizes, it may unfold without too much disruption. >> as long as the snow melts nice and steady instead of all at once, we are great. >> it is just pushing along the edges of the meadows and into some of the campgrounds that are the closest to the river. this is really nothing like what we saw back in 2017 when they closed the valley when a massive atmosphere river came over yosemite falls. this water system pushed the river up very quickly, we are not expecting that, that is the level we would have to close the roads. but, there might be some problems, check your campgrounds. if you are coming out, you will see some spectacular things, this is one of the reasons a lot of people come to this park and it is

putting on a show right now. >> i want wilson's job, beautiful place to go and important story. >> and it's still going to be warm for the next several days, especially warm enough where the snow still resides that flooding is going to be a concern as the snow continues to melt. this is the forecasted height of the river over the next several days, taking us through the weekend, you can see the forecast does go up and down as wilson mentioned. that pattern continues to fall within the minor flooding range through the weekend, but getting awfully close to that moderate flood stage, just a couple inches below the moderate flood stage by the second half of the weekend on sunday, that is the point they might have to close northside and southside drives and that will have a significant impact on tourist traffic. looking outside right now, there is the fog hanging

out as we look out from the salesforce tower, already the fog is on the move. it'll sprint tonight, two pitchers will be running very close to average for the next few days, and a baby warm-up sunday and monday, back to near normal temperatures for the rest of next week. month -- the greatest variations will be inland, but we are only talking about a nine degree difference on the warmest day and the coolest day by thursday and friday. things are looking pretty good by memorial day weekend , and already that is in the tail end of the forecast range. the pollen count will stay in the medium to high category over the next few days. that is not going to be removed from the atmosphere by the fog. still, the camera is above that layer of fog. the downtown temperature is only 58

degrees, but oakland in the 70s and mid 80s, 86 right now in livermore. those temperatures will be closer to normal tomorrow. we will start off with fog , but then dissipating quickly. along the coast, it'll take even longer, you will have a hard time seeing along the coast. temperatures start off tomorrow morning in the mid-50s which is where we are supposed to be. staying in the 50s along the coast 70s along the peninsula and mostly 70s in the santa clara valley. a mix of upper 70s and low 80s in the east bay. some of the greatest variation is going to be for the north bay where we will see mid-70s , upper 70s around napa and sonoma but low 80s in santa rosa and upper 80s further north into lake county and mendocino county. temperatures will be very close to average this time of year, 60s in the city, around 70 degrees for oakland. inland

temperatures are going to also be very close to average, mid to upper 70s with a few days in the low 80s, no out-of-control heat waves in store for us as we get closer and closer to memorial day weekend but that is still a few days beyond the scope of the seven day forecast. thank you so much. coming up, our community celebrates this bay area athlete, the new owner for brandon crawford. and here is a look outside , look how beautiful that is. here is your cbs deals. right now, the cost of food is absolutely outrageous. we are a family of six and nothing can be more frustrating for me as a mom then when i see my kids pull something out of the refrigerator and it has mold on it. think of how many times that has happened to you. these are the debbiemeye green boxes. here's what i have to tell you. you will find nothing but these in my refrigerator because watch this, we place our berries in
