angeles county. fire says it has burned more than 50. acres and is only 8%. contained. here is what is left behind in a car yard in gorman. that's after the post. fire. move. through that area on saturday. in eastern sacramento. county. firefighters have fully contained the excelsior. fire and burned about 900. acres. evacuation orders and road closures were lifted this morning. police in freemont say a carjacking suspect who was shot by an officer was armed with the a knife. the shooting happened yesterday on auto mall parkway near osgood. road, police say the suspect is in stable. condition. they have not released the identities of the suspect north, the officer the u. s surgeon general calling for a warning label on social media. apps similar to the labels on cigarettes and alcohol. dr vivek murthy is citing several studies linking heavy use of social media apps with depression amongst teenagers. he says in an op ed in the new york times today, quote we're in the middle of a youth mental health crisis. san

francisco mayor london breed and for challengers sharing the debate stage again. tonight their 2nd mayoral debate happening at uc college of law, san francisco admission is free. the debate kicks off at 730. a ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the grand opening of the final phase. of the harvey milk terminal. at sfo. 2.5. 0 project. has been in the works. since 2019. travelers got a chance to see the unveiling. there's a large mural that's displayed over the escalator. other new features. including a museum gallery and a walkway. that links all other terminals. post security first alert weather now we are watching our air quality and our fire risk. as wildfires burn near in the central bay area. being a religious during peck is in our virtual view studio. >>and there's some good news. on this monday. after now there's a lot less smoke. coming off of the fire from yesterday. quality in general is greatly improved from where we were. but we've still got

the red flag warning. until 8:00 tonight, so the conditions which were responsible for that in terms of elevating the degree of concern. anne. heightening the degree of awareness in terms of strong winds and low relative humidities today that is still very much in place. and you kind of see where the locations were focused on. its in the north bay. we're going to come back to this map in a 2nd. i'm going to zoom in and i'll show you how it's lake county. and much of napa and certainly the north bay mountains. but 1st just a little bit of background on what's going on here. if you watch the progression. of whatever smoke might come off of that. fire today, and that was the big offender. yesterday. so a lot of smoke coming off that fire yesterday thankfully, now the fire is really lie down. down today. however. if that fire starts to get going and you'll see why it might have lied down for the 1st part of today, when we look at wind speeds. should that fire begin to produce more smoke? we can track how that likely would move through the atmosphere today by using the high resolution smoke forecast. watch the hypothetical plume today as we go through the

later hours of the afternoon. exactly what it did yesterday. so those same locations through sonoma county where you really saw your air quality go downhill last night you're doing ok now. and fingers crossed that fire stays. fairly. in act. and then you don't really get a resurgence and smoke. but just so you know. you are vulnerable. just due to the direction the wind is going to be flowing this afternoon. that you could see another uptick in smoke, and we'll keep you updated on that throughout the course of the afternoon. okay? that red flag warning. let's get some detail on this. take a look at the north bay mountains, which are included in that and lake county. you are also included in that goes till 8:00 tonight. and if we look at how the winds been behaving to help, kind of put us in this situation watch the onshore winds really turning on today, but here's why we got a little bit of a break. from this morning. really, until about now. the wind direction has totally reversed. in other words, this as strong as those onshore winds were yesterday, which were really fanning the flames of the fire and blowing smoke. we now have a relatively weak offshore wind. so it's not good

for humidities. offshore winds really dry things out, but at least the wind has weakened a bit. it's also changed. direction. which can be really problematic on the front lines of a fire. but for the for the rest of us, basically the offshore winds mean that's why the humidity went down and the winds are a little bit. quieter right now. we go back on shore. overnight, so there's a little bit of waffling here, but the wind should not be as strong once we do that. you see how the colors really fade, which is why that red flag warnings is going to be allowed to expire tonight. eight o'clock, but look where we are in relative humidities. today. this is the bottom. of the 36 hours when we were looking at and at the entirety of this red flag warning this is the driest timeframe right now, because of those offshore ones. you got single digit relative humidities. and for comparison. here. where we're going to be at the same time of day on wednesday. vastly different so you can see the onshore winds are going to increase. humidity level will go up. but from now through tonight, you still have to be on guard here, particularly through lake county. and the mountains. of

napa. little bit of marine layer perhaps comes back by wednesday as well. when we finally start to see the return of that onshore influence and we'll have much more on that as we get closer to it. in the meantime, don't count on much in the way of june gloom until about wednesday, probably thursday. let's get to the 7 day forecast. so if you take a look at what stands out here look at the drop on wednesday. to go along with that stronger onshore influence. remember how we saw the humidity levels go up in the marine layer tries to come back in that's your cool down and it's pretty much a 1 to 2 day event. because after thursday we go right back to another warmup, up and you're going to be looking at daytime highs that will be in the low 90s once again this weekend. for many of our warmer inland communities, and we see the same pattern playing out here for the bay. there's your marine layer. wednesday and thursday. and it's gone, probably by friday and saturday. as we get a noticeable warm up biden, all right and back to you. >>thank you, darren. there is a new effort to crack down on the sale of stolen goods. and san francisco. city streets. the

goal is to combat what's known as fencing. mayor london breed and state senator scott weiner are proposing a bill that would require vendors to have a permit. in order to sell things that are deemed as frequently stolen and vendors would have to show documents. that they obtained the merchandise legally. proof of purchase. there are challenges. around those who are going into various retailers. establishments. stealing items. and taking them out onto the streets. and also impacted. the ability. for so many of these vendors to even function on the streets. okay? california. decriminalized. sidewalk mending back in 2018. barring police from in 4 and replacing within an administrative penalty. system. this new bill would bring some enforcement power back to police. and 1 of mayor breeds opponents in this year's mayoral elections. wants to take things a step further. supervisor. asha sat by wants to let public works inspector remove items from vendors who

have been given a warning. for operating illegally. are jose martinez talked with some legal vendors about the idea. >>here in the mission. were permanent street. vendors are reacting to new proposed legislation. to fight illegal street vending in san francisco. they tell me they finally feel hurt. by the >>city. a street vendor. of mission street in stone. 19. now is the president of the mission street vendors. association. is leading a movement that's gaining traction. excited like i said, i'm a month ago. there was only a few vendors. and no 1 recognized. anything. no vendors at all right now, everybody recognize this move. and we feel like we are part of the city. we feel like we are part the the community because we have a boys. says the shift is largely due to a change in the language used in new legislation. clarifying the association. role in

representing permanent street vendors. these legislative changes are designed to combat illegal street vending. not just in the mission, but across there. francisco. feel like they give us a respect. recognized are you? centers got weiner represents. san francisco said senate bill 95 would allow the police to issue said stations. to street vendors selling commonly stolen goods without a permit. another key legislative change was introduced by supervisor ashes to fight 5 p. who says the warning process hasn't >>worked out. doing which was being exploited was that warning process. kept repeating. itself over and over and over again. we want to be able to distinguish and we want to give the right tools to the inspectors. so they can really target the illegally fence. stolen items that are out >>there with these new laws. rodrigo tells me he hopes to see him. improvements for those permitted street vendors. as well. definitely step in the right direction. everybody is

happy. yeah. because we feel like we the city finally give us something to tool to work with, and everyone is very excited. to see what happened on the next 34 months. >>ago tells me the plan now is to analyze these legislation. with the members. of the association ahead of changes. in the coming months. >>still ahead and we're going to talk with the director of san francisco public. works about the plan to crack down on stolen goods. on the streets. and what that would really look like if those rules are approved, plus, we're going to take a look at efforts on the statewide. level. to curb retail. theft in the 1st place before those goods end up on our street.

(♪♪) i'm getting vaccinated with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain,

fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia. thieves have been getting bold. and bolder. when it comes to retail fat. remember? this? at a san francis? walgreens? easter sunday, a group of people caught on camera going up and down the aisles, just taking whatever they they want. 1 of our producers started recording. and says the group. didn't even seem to care and the employees could not do anything to stop them. at the time of san francisco supervisor pointed to the police staffing. crisis. as a factor in crimes like this. maine. the national retail federation said san francisco and oakland are among the city's most impacted by organized retail crime. along with los angeles, houston and new york. now we know at least

some of those stolen items will end up for sale on the streets and that's what san francisco is working to stop joining me live now san francisco's public works director carlos shore thanks for being here this afternoon. but first, can you just talk about the scope of this? problem in san francisco? sure, i think 1 of the things that reach found is that the end that has occurred in san francisco for decades. has suddenly been a little bit overrun by illegal offense. fencing of stolen goods and the conditions particularly in the mission, but in other parts of san francisco became really on unsafe. for the people who were the what we call the so called good actors who were trying to get permits and make a living vending their way. shares. versus people who were out there really fencing stolen goods. talking about the impacts, right on. i guess their competition the legal vendors. but as well as business and everybody in the

neighborhood. yeah, really people were forced to walk in the streets. they didn't have access to transits. stops. they couldn't get into brick and mortar businesses. so it really was the conditions on the street. were really quite quite challenging. for you know for the neighbors. and people going to visit the neighborhood. certainly so what is the city doing right now to crack down? what have we seen sort of change over the past. maybe few months. well. we imposed and a moratorium for mending a long mission. street. that was really based on health and safety. considerations. and it was kind of a reset for the community and what we found. is when our enforcement team was out there. we really had a positive impact people described feeling much more at ease the sidewalks were passable. um and so this is meant to be a temporary moratorium. and we will be rolling out. out a phased return. um starting later this week. week with 1 block in the mission to try to allow those

permitted. vendors. those who are working with the city and have gone through the process. um too. set up and reestablish. vending, and we will be assessing that program as it moves forward. when it comes to law enforcement. you generally think of police doing it, but but your people, the public works employees are out there sort of trying to enforce. these laws. why? is that, like for some of them? i know it's become danger. yeah. unfortunately. it has been very, very difficult. we've had a number of our employees. who have been assaulted. we had many folks who were threatened. when the state decriminalized vending it basically fell. to administrative enforcement and public works. our team is out there doing that enforcement. we do have now work with us. officers who yeah. basically are there to ensure the safe. of our team. after we had a number of assaults on our staffing, so it has been a very difficult assignment our team has done an incredible job.

really trying to do their best to enforce the codes that were assigned to enforce, but it was not an easy it was not an easy assignment. yeah, yeah, yeah, that sounds very challenging. we don't have much time left. but, you know, 7 by 7, this city what else are you doing to work to clean up some of them? francisco's other neighborhoods. yeah. my goodness. well, we are working. 24 7 to try to clean up the streets in san francisco. we have clean corridor programs. we have our black speakers who are out sweeping blocks every every day during the week, and so i think we're noticing a real improvement. our requests for service. citywide have gone down. so you know it's a great time to be in san francisco and i think i hope people will find that the streets are cleaner. we have a big job. san francisco. public works director carla short thanks for being with us this afternoon. i know carla. referred to this but on the statewide level, there are some competing solutions right now on the table. to try to curb retail.

theft caliber. the way the justice system deals with low level crimes. including efforts taking aim at proposition 47. that is the measure that voters passed in 24. it reduced certain theft and drug possession offenses from felonies. to misdemeanors and nonviolent property crimes and thefts under 950. that was meant in part to ease overcrowding in jails in prison. prisons. and it did. 20 study reviewing the 1st few years impact. showed. recidivism. rates dropping. by double digits. proposition, 47. has greatly reduced the number of our of our jail and prison population. however. at the same time, there are some statistics, which are arguing depending upon how you see this issue. and that they they have driven other crime rates. up. enter the homelessness. drug addiction and theft. reduction act. that has nearly 1 million. million signatures. it could mandate treatment for addicts, add murder charges for some

drug dealers and increase punishment. for petty theft. but at the same time lawmakers in sacramento are considering a package of bills also trying to reform prop 46. and those bills do not reclassified punishments. for crimes like the initiative. does instead. it makes it easier to go after professional crime. rings and if these things all past things could get complicated aspects of these laws simply won't be applicable. and there will be conflict. so the package of bills working its way through the legislature right now the ballot measure would still need to be certified by the secretary. of state. before it could be placed on our ballot. later this month. still ahead. what was supposed to make our shopping. experience. easier and faster. might be having some unattended, consequences. by 1 state lawmaker wants to change self checkout. have a nice day. >>yeah. this is picks plus more of what you want. more often.

in the morning. and prime time edition. at at and 9:00 pm news. feely. elizabeth cook. juliette goodrich. and sara donchey. groundbreaking original storytelling from the newsroom. plus politics project earth and weather like you've never seen the prime time edition.

>>all right. right, as we talked about ways to fight retail theft. and the stale of stolen goods. there is 1 proposed solution that could change the way we shop. at grocery stores. and state senate bill could force grocery and drug stores, to remove self checkout machines. unless they follow certain rules like kevin and an employee monitor the lanes and limiting customers, 215. 15 items. in those lanes. it would also establish fines for violations. some grocery workers say they have seen self checkout lanes contribute to more retail theft and pose a danger to them as a grocery store worker, my workers and i have witnessed 1st hand hand the reduction of staffing. due to self checkout and increase in workplaces. violence. of the a result of that. retail that so the bill is supported by organized labor unions, but business groups, including the california chamber of commerce, are against it. we spoke with the author of the bill about why she thinks it's necessary. estimates. by the industry.

that about 16 times. more loss happens at a self check. lane costing the industry about 10 billion. 0. and so it is our responsibility. to look upstream and to figure out what are the ways that we address this retail theft. we ensure that workers are safe. we also ensured that we don't displaced workers with automation. and create a safe shopping. experience in stores for consumer. we have already seen some bay area. stores voluntarily. removing their self checkout lanes like the safeway and san francisco's fillmore neighborhood. we're going to be right back. you can get your kpi. news. weather and livestream. stream in 1 place. on
