that come about and what do you do once you have that information? >>around this time of the summer, this is generally been west. nile virus starts to appear and it's been it's carried by birds and mosquitoes humans get is they're getting bitten by mosquitoes. and so it's not that unusual to see west nile virus in birds and mosquitoes. it's just another surveillance signal for us to let people know to be on alert and trying do what they can to prevent mosquito so what other parts of santa clara county have you found? birds or mosquitoes with west nile? >>yeah, our victor control district does surveillance of her sons gear stop the county, our free to them on their website great. >>graphics that anybody can access to. take a look at where the persons get >>and this spring, the best way to to sort of killed these mosquitoes. >>spring is definitely one way. but there's also things that people can do in their everyday lives to decrease the risk of getting bit by a mosquito. easy thing. that's probably the most proactive thing people can do is to make

the area around them. just not comfortable for mosquitoes. mosquitoes like breed and bulls of standing water all the times. you see that outside if there's phases or tires so people can just go around whether living where they're working and dumped over those areas of standing water. so that's one way to kind of prevent it. how do you even know if you have? >>west nile to begin with? because sometimes people don't even show symptoms. >>yeah, that's some cases of west nile virus don't have symptoms of very mild symptoms. common symptoms are similar to like symptoms, people fever, headache, body aches. and so people experience symptoms that the best thing to do is go there, medical doctor and they can make a determination about whether any further testing is needed. >>is there a specific? demographic that's more vulnerable to getting west nile or is it anyone who gets mosquito bite is possibly able to get this? >>i don't think there's a particular population that's more susceptible to being infected by this. certainly folks that are more susceptible to severe disease.

see with other infectious diseases, folks that are older, folks that other severe medical problems and people that are immunocompromised. and this is something that will just see more and more of. >>happening not only in santa clara county, but elsewhere in the bay area are are more mosquitoes popping up with this virus? >>it's hard to say in the past few years we've seen between one and 3 west nile virus cases in humans per year. and these are the first 2 cases this season. so keep an eye on. it will keep surveillance and yeah. >>do you have any other advice? >>now, i think what a single court part of the most proactive thing people can do is just to prevent mosquitoes from being in their area in the first place good as like stagnant water. so anywhere you see water collected in a pool in a puddle entire be sure to dump that out decrease the number mosquitoes there in the first place. >>all right, doctor christmas see from the santa clara county public health department. thank you for joining us. >>san jose

you have a right. >>to a trial within a certain amount of time. but most defense attorneys going unless your clients in custody. some will waive time. so in other words, kick that count can down the road. now, the reason i was laughing because here's the da's office and the public defender's office. thank god they're in lockstep on this. and they're pointing to the bench and do not our fault. look to the judges. so what's going to happen? i would think there may be some sort of judicial review where some judicial commission comes into the court and says, wait a minute, why are all these delayed? your you are open last thursday. why did you try a civil case now? civil cases do not have precedence over criminal criminal cases go first. but so if they see civil case is being tried, judicial council may go. wait a minute, what's going on? and

so are they pointing the finger at the judge is is will not arrive when i enter their point right there. that's why i laughed. >>lucky you guys are in lockstep because if it was only one of you, some judges may get a little cross the about that. when you walk in courtroom. well, i heard one of the public defenders say that the defendants now are the victims here. but the true victims takes extra they are the victims they're being denied justice around that's absolutely true. so you've got to look at each individual case and get to the bottom of why should this particular case? be dismissed? and only the counselor, the investigators can get to that. but apparently the district attorneys also say, yes, we have been denied speedy trials and the excuse was covid. you notice i covid. let's kick the can down the road now. good defense attorney. oftentimes i've often said, you know, in

cases it's like a fine wine. you want to let age a little bit. so you don't rush to justice in certain cases and they're all sorts of reasons that defense attorneys do that. but the people that are supposed to stop that from happening are the judges or the district attorneys say no, no, no, we are going to try and they're going to look at even more cases and they may throw those out. it's a problem there. there's a problem. but look our to seeing this down the road. one of the cases that they kick out. >>and then that person goes on to re-offend. well, that happens a lot. i mean, judges are. i mean, a lot of people get upset. >>judges, for example, or somebody are lower bail and that one person out of 1002 1005 1000 goes out to commit a crime, you know, another crime that wants a judge is fall. noel want to they're making decisions every day. and once in a while, people will do

president, volodymyr zelensky, implores allies to provide long-range missiles, calling them essential to winning the war. he wrote on x, quote, this must be done. the boulder, our partners decisions, the less putin can do. >>but the u.s. says it's not changing its policy against using u.s. weapons for long-range attacks inside russia. that's because pentagon spokesperson, sabrina singh says under existing policy, ukraine has been successful in pushing back. that doesn't necessarily happen by doing long-range deep strikes within russia. and of course, we're worried about escalation. the state department says the policy hasn't changed. us is still committed to helping ukraine defeat russia. what we're focused on is making sure that our ukrainian partners, how would they need to defend themselves from from russian aggression? meanwhile, russia's defense minister ordered the creation of coordination committees made up of military authorities meant to protect its border territories in washington. i'm maddie beer-temple. disney seeking to dismiss a man's

wrongful death lawsuit. >>and the reason they give has left some scratching their heads. disney says jeffrey piccolo cannot sue over his wife's death, linked to an allergic reaction to a meal served at one of the resort's restaurants. that's because he, quote, agree to disney. plus terms when he signed up for the streaming service news nation's xavier walton breaks down the case. >>well, this is certainly a tragic story. but overall, just a bad look for disney. we're talking about a woman well known, well respected, just 42 years old when she passed away. she's from new york, the long island area, her husband claims that the restaurant didn't take enough time and care about his wife's severe allergies to dairy and also not even though he told them repeatedly. stay with me here because this is where it gets a little convoluted. there's a lot of back and forth between disney and the husband's attorney as well. and disney's most recent response to all of this. the company does not actually fight the negligence claim for

the wife's death, however, because the victim's husband, his name is jeffrey piccolo one signed up for disney. plus, back in 2019. and because he is the disney up to purchase tickets to a theme park in 2023. this was before his wife's death. disney claims based on the fine print in the terms of use, he is forever unable to sue the mouse house and any of its affiliate businesses. disney filed a motion to take this case out of the courts and be settled in arbitration. so privately, mr. piccolo is lawyers are calling disney's arguments preposterous and inane. they say disney's case is based on this is a quote is based on the incredible argument that any person who signs up for a disney plus account, even free trials that are not extended to be on the trial period will have for will have to for ever waived the right to a jury trial. the argument that can be extended to wrongful death or personal injury claims borders on the surreal again. that was the husbands attorneys does the acknowledging the extremely sad circumstances. however, pointing this out, given this

restaurant is either owned or operated by disney. we are merely defending ourselves against the plaintiffs attorneys attempt to include us in their lawsuit against the restaurant, the wrongful death lawsuit against disney is for $50,000. plus attorney fees. a court hearing to decide whether this case and actually proceed is slated for october. 2nd. meantime, this decision really could set a precedent moving forward when it comes to those terms and conditions that so many of us sign, which is in fine print for every single contract. i'm xavier walton for news nation.

unconquered, 83 of little 83. also in napa back along the coastline. there you go. 60's and a few 70's for the most part. but next few days, yeah. cooling off well below the average on saturday and sunday. warming up a little bit as we head in toward next week. thanks, lawrence. >>and incredible medical breakthrough from uc davis health. a new brain computer interface developed by researchers in sacramento is giving a man with a less the ability to speak again. take a look at some of the results here. >>not being able to communicate is so frustrating and demoralizing i hope that we are at a time when everyone who is like me have the same opportunity as i do have a device like this that will help them communicate. >>incredible. this is casey harrell, a participant in the brain gate. clinical trials. he's 45 years old and lost his ability speak after his diagnosis. researchers place micro electro to raise into parts of his brain responsible for speech. >>simply put the rays are able to translate brain signals

into tax, which can then be on a read aloud by computer. the latest trial for purring gauge shows that the device operates with 97% accuracy, making it the most accurate system of its kind and even more amazing. the researchers were able to mimic casey's real voice. >>use artificial intelligence to mimic his own voice. that is by using video recordings. interviews. home videos that were collected prior to him having illness. we were able to digitally reconstruct voice. so now when he tries to speak, not only do words appear on screen, but it sounds >>casey was able to use the system in both prompted and spontaneous conversations. they tell us the first time they heard his voice, casey, his family and doctors all cried with joy. the results of the study were published wednesday in the new england journal of medicine. the trials are ongoing and they're still enrolling. participants.

you're waoakland has been

through a lot of change recently to talk about the big headlines coming out of the city from for stephanie lin sat down for a one-on-one conversation with mayor sheng thao. >>mayor, of course, we would like to continue with the topic. we also discussed a bit live last time that you were here, governor gavin newsom's, executive order to state agencies to clear out homeless encampments. and you mentioned that this is something your city has been actively been involved in even before newsom's order. so could you provide some clarity around how effective those cleanups have been to addressing homelessness in oakland?

>>you know, it's it's very interesting just because in the sense that we need new housing stock, right? we need the interim housing and we need a permanent housing, including permanent, supportive housing, many people we find on the streets are unable to live on their own. and so until we get resources for the permanent supportive housing and this is going to be a little bit of whac-a-mole. however, city of oakland, we've started this work. we took down the largest encampment in northern california, and that was what street where we saw blocks and hundreds of people in our streets. and we were able to actually housed 85% of the people that live there, which was 100% of the people that we asked for services. and if they want to services, they receive debt. you know, we're going to team to do the work. i do believe that there's dignified of doing this work. however, you can't live on the streets in a tense. you know, it is not safe for the people who living in the tents. it's not safe for the neighbors. >>the mayor of san francisco has said before that she's going to be assertive and moving encampments a direction

that might also include criminal penalties. do you agree with that approach? >>you know, with that being said that the penalty part of it, the criminal penalty, part of it would be that we would have to collect the evidence from opd and then handed over to district attorney's office. and so that's work that's done in a different different organization through that but what i can tell you is that here in the city of oakland, we're working aggressively to ensure that areas where our kids, our babies, where they populate, where our young people are, that those areas are cleaned again. you know, this is a regional effort. and so without the permanent supportive housing stock, you know, it is just going to be a little bit like whac-a-mole. and so that's the frustrating part. so what are the challenges to getting more of that support of permanent housing for the homeless? >>you know, it's it's just funding. we have many churches and faith-based institutions in the city of oakland who are interested to even leasing or selling their land so that we can build either permanent supportive housing or affordable housing, deeply

affordable housing so that we get people off our streets. but without the federal funding in the state support, we're not able to do that because it's not something that the nonprofit developers are able to afford on their own. and so i'm going continue to lobby for the federal level for more funding so that we can actually build out more of the permanent supportive housing. okay. >>we'd like to turn to another topic now also involving governor gavin newsom. and that is cell phone use in the classroom. this week he wrote a letter to schools to restrict student's cell phone use during school hours. he says that this is going to help improve concentration among students at lead to better academic and social outcomes. mayor, do you encourage oakland unified to do the same? >>absolutely. you know, as a mom myself, i always tell my son that the phone is only for emergencies for pick-up and drop-off after school. and so, you know, when our kids are in school, i think it's incredibly important that they interface with there with their classmates, with their teacher and really get the

full breath of the learning experience. i do believe i call me old school, but do believe that we're leaving too much into the technology and not enough time doing, you know, riding bikes, outsider, you know, having play dates and what have you. and you know, i do agree with him that we need to limit access to our cell phone use in school settings. got it. has that directive been a shared with oakland unified? i do know if district officials do plan to implement that policy. >>you that's a good question for the superintendent. of course, the city ustr to separate public entities. but i can just tell you again, from my all personal experience that i i think that there is huge value in making sure that our kids are paying attention in class of that. they're learning. >>got a perhaps those district officials are listening now they'll take note well on the topic of back-to-school, we know that they're do consent continue to be concerns about campus safety back in may. we know that there was that triple shooting at skyline high school during a graduation ceremony. so have you had any discussions with the district about safety

measures as kids go back to school? >>absolutely. you know, coming in this is the first administration has been working very closely ust, knowing understanding that they no longer have a police force. and so what i've been doing since last year is sending our area captains to ensure that they understand the layout of the schools that they are that are in their jurisdiction so that they understand the secrets and what have and to better offer their services in case of emergency. so we have annual events where opd ust city usc administrators come together to learn these different tactics together. with that being said, you know, school is a priority. and that is why before school started, we said that public works to claim any of the streets across the whole city to ensure that our kids could actually walk to school in a safe and clean neighborhood. >>all right. we like to turn to the issue of sideshows in your city recently, as you likely know, a group of neighbors in the san antonio area started installing their own barriers on roadways to

prevent this type of illegal activity. we know that the city did take those barriers down. we did speak with residents in the affected area and i believe we have some sound to play from that interview. >>we did inquiries about getting an actual roundabout put in the concrete ones that you see sometimes in berkeley. we were told that somebody has to die first before they'll do anything about that. >>so basically that resident was told, hey, somebody has to die first in the intersection before the city will do anything. what is your response to those residents who don't think the city is doing enough? you know, have the same frustration and this is why under this leadership, we have new leadership in the department of transportation. >>you know, a council member, i was told the same thing. i just you know, i saw that there was a walking school bus on 35th avenue, which is, you know, as cars are speeding there. and i asked for a stop sign and was told they didn't

have the data and just like the the constituent has talked not waiting for someone to die for us to do something. and so we are changing that culture here in the city of oakland and whoever is interested in that change of culture. we have to remove them. and that's exactly what i have done. and so with that being said, we are putting you know, environmental designs in other areas to ensure that there are no sideshows to ensure that the community feel safe. you know, and part of that is to make sure that people have a good night's sleep without all the noise and the danger that comes with it. so we've already started that work. of course, we're moving as fast as we can. and we're going to continue to put out, you know, the deterrence, environmental deterrents. so that's i can't happen. but i want to implore to the community that police work with the city. i know that you may have had frustrations in the past, but that leadership is gone now and it is under new leadership and for them to reach out to us so that we can work with to put in, you know, the environmental design that will work and won't cause other people to be harmed.

>>and can you commit to those residents in the san antonio, a neighborhood that, you know, the city will engage in some sort of conversation with them because it sounds like they very concerned about their personal safety and that illegal sideshows are in ongoing issue with that intersection. >>you know you. that's absolutely right. and i do commit to that, you know, this is the san antonio neighborhood. it's a huge coalition. and i continue to work with him around human trafficking there actually the bases of us starting the mayor's task force human trafficking. this and again, sideshows has been at the top priority of our list for keeping our neighborhoods safe and clean. and so we started that work ready. however, i am more than happy to commit to talking with the san antonio neighborhood to ensure that their community is getting what they need in order feel safe. >>all right. and then our last 30 seconds here, mayor, to tie things off. we'd like to ask you about the future of the oakland coliseum. we understand oakland roots just signed a 3 million dollar deal to play home games there in 2025. >>you know, it's a catalyst, a catalyst to what's to come for

the city of oakland. we knew we need new revenue streams and we've got sports as well. so we're really excited for the oakland rates to be playing at the coliseum next year. of course, we're working on a plan for them to play at the malibu site, which on the similar site of the coliseum. and that would be the permanent site with the open saul. so this is the very beginning works of welcoming the world cup to the bay area. >>alright, open their thank you for your time this afternoon. in san

getting both sides to agree on how to execute this deal. contours of what the president outline on may 31st has been accepted and what we're focusing on now and we're good. >>talks are focusing on working on the details of the implementation. the hamas says israel made new demands which israel denies. the state department says the ideal outcome includes an immediate cease-fire. >>hostage release and increased humanitarian aid. we really hope that with the process that restarted today that that is what waiting for us at the other side of the finish line. however, u.s. officials fear if no progress is made, iran will retaliate and attack israel in response to the killing of a top hezbollah leader. and that could happen with little to 0 warning reporting in washington. i'm basil, >>kron

chevron has settled its case with the city of richmond agreeing to pay the city more than half a billion dollars over the next decade. the agreement was reached after richmond city council members unanimously voted to pull a proposed tax on chevron from the november ballot. kron four's justine waltman spoke with the richmond mayor claudia jimenez to break down what they're calling a so i just want to understand why you reached the settlement from your perspective, why was this best for the people of richmond and the bay area? >>wanted to say that he was at the feet of the faith, the station that we made. but one of the teens at the give us so on pass we sure that the

course east in these country. friendly 2 cds and to pass in the state more friendly to corporations. so we have. i lost 2 that we and many group's twitter. sure that we were going to wane. we even though i just wanted to make sure that that doesn't means that they make sure is reading jeopardy. i think like all of ask even to see tony west going to be the language and that by unveiling which in the 14 that's what strachan. but >>e e gifts. you give us place to say, well, we know we knew that was going to be now for asked passes because sharon had already said that they were going to sue covid that he and we so carson, cd that

has then. >>no, >>see me that to make sure. >>and they had being in in the course since 2017 is spending over medium build there. >>in in. >>in lead charges at to defend their case and has been being able to evening is spending one dime of the money that they have. the people who to speak. so i want to say, want to see if i understand this correctly, there was a ballot measure. you're going to leave it up to voters and would have collected more money. more than this half a billion dollars that the settlement has reached. >>but the concern was sort of twofold. one that voters might not approve it. and if it was approved that then chevron would tie the city up with legal battles like you mentioned. that's happening in carson in southern california had would have tied the city up of legal battles for years and maybe then you would never have seen any money at all. and so now with the settlement

that's been reached, that's how you're able to ensure that the city of richmond was going to get something from chevron. i get it correct. going but i i want thing that i wanted to say. >>cheryl west coming to the table because they were seen, they say pointing that community organization had seen that these was going too but we didn't know how long we have to beat court. so i say to we have to be drizzle right now or we decided the climate crisis season ow and we need to act with that. we can see. and these gave identity that name to it next year. we're going to to that doing that. just recitation. and it really doesn't think giving patients that we had being thinking and dreaming about. so the money is going to go into the general fund this half a billion dollars it. >>chevron can't take any credit for how the money is

spent. and i just want to know, do you think and do you want this a settlement that's been reached to kind of suppress that and for other cities across the country of what they what they can accomplish. >>yeah, i team they make sure. is it make sure that can be training corps? so we don't have any doubt that can be different in court. and these is an opportunity for all to see. still look at me tonight. i have the still options. you can have is when go to the and allow the voters the side that in court or put it there make leaders to come to the table and opens at packets that light. chairman of the to u.s.. and the exact things that can be done and it is going to any same board. jen teen of these is that you have to have. good elected official that don't receive any money from corporations, what they

try. and so they in these procession negotiating, they come for tried as weak. the pull these photos accountable hold that region on borders richmond, residents in ohio to make that we have, i would say do agree. richmond, vice mayor claudia menace, thank you so much for joining us this afternoon on kron 4. appreciate your time. >>thank you so much. >>dostocks
