religion and contraception. breaking news out of san francisco where a hazmat scene is just wrapping up at an apartment building in the city's outer richmond district. this is video of the scene from newschopper2. good afternoon. i'm tori campbell. hazmat was called to the building on 43rd avenue and clement after a body was found and that's where we find david stevenson. good afternoon, david. >> reporter: good afternoon, tori. the situation here began at about 8:50 this morning at the peach colored building behind me. 8:50 is when police responded to a well-being check for a resident. police found a deceased male and firefighters responding to the scene, then called in a hazardous materials team because of concern over certain chemicals in the second-story apartment. here's the view from newschopper2 today. the situation prompted the situation of about a dozen people from the building we're told by police. they've been allowed back in in

the last hour and we have seen hazmat crew members removing their gear in the last 20 minutes or so. their truck has pulled away. you can still see there is a police presence and a fire department presence as well. there's still a lot of questions at this hour, including what chemicals specifically prompted the alarm, the background of the victim and how long they had been there unidentified. we'll keep monitoring this story and bring you details after they come to us. david stevenson, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. a new 911 dispatch center was just unveiled in oakland. alex savidge was there and joins us live to show us some of the new features aimed and improving communication communication between dispatchers and police officers. >> reporter: the dispatchers are certainly the life line for

people who are in an emergency. they say these upgrades will make it easier to take critical information from 911 callers and transfer that information to police officers in the field and today we got a look inside the newly redone communications center. work began about a year ago to overhaul the police call center with new radio and computer systems and a large video wall's here that allows dispatchers to share information with each other. the work stations have been redesigned with ergonomics in mind to help with repetitive stress injuries. there's information about shooting that's shown in realtime on a large screen and can be more easily relayed to officers. dispatchers say the process is stream lined at every step. >> having all of these screens,

it looks like a lot but it eliminates some of the time lapse of needing to ask someone else for information because it's at your fingertips. so you are not relying on the next person. who if they don't hear you? >> it's important that we have the latest technology, the latest ability to really give the dispatchers at their fingertips the information that they need to not only help our community members but also help the officers in the field. this upgrade really does that. >> reporter: this project cost about $750,000. the city's 911 dispatch center hasn't been upgraded in more than a decade. the center handles about 1500 911 calls every day. having the latest technology can make a huge difference. despite the improvements, the dispatch center can't accept 911 calls directly from cell phones. those calls have to be transferred. the mayor said those changes are in the works but as many as

20 more dispatchers will be needed to handle a larger call volume in this sways. next up, upgrading the fire department's dispatch center. we're told those improvements should be finished by the end of the year. live this afternoon in oakland, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you. and right now, we want to go to president obama who is speaking outside of the white house. there's joe biden. they are speaking about immigration reform. >> independent expert said that bill would strengthen our borders, grow our economy, shrink our deficits. as we speak, there are enough republicans and democrats in the house to pass an immigration bill today. i would sign it into law today and washington would solve a problem in a bipartisan way.

but for more than a year, republicans in the house of representatives have refused to allow an up or down vote on that senate bill or any legislation to fix our broken immigration system. i held off or pressuring them for a long time to give speaker boehner the space he needed to get his fellow republicans on board. meanwhile, here's what a year of obstruction has meant -- it's meant fewer resources to strengthen our borders, it's meant more businesses free to gain the system by hiring undocumented workers which punishes businesses who play byes rules and drives down wages for hard-working americans. it's meant lost talent. when the best and brightest

come to study here but are forced to leave and compete against our businesses and workers. it's meant no chance for 11 million immigrants to come out of the shadows and earn their citizenship if they pay a penalty and pass a background check, pay their fair share of taxes, learn english, go to the back of the line. it's meant the heartbreak of separated families. that's what this has been over the past year. that's what the senate bill would fix if the house allowed it to go to a vote. our country and our economy would be stronger today if house republicans had allowed a simple yes or no vote on this bill or, for that matter, any bill. they would be following the will of the majority of the american people who support reform.

and instead, they've proven again and again that they are unwilling to stand up to the tea party in order to do what's best for the country. and the worst part about it is a bunch of them know better. we have an actual humanitarian crisis on the border that underscores the need to drop the politics and fix our immigration system once and for all. in recent weeks we've seen a surge of unaccompanied children brought to the border by smugglers and traffickers. the journey is unbelievably dangerous for these kids. the children who are fortunate enough to survive it will be taken care of while they go through the legal process but in most cases that process will lead to them being sent back at home. sent a clear message to parents not to put their kids through

it. i recently sent vice president biden to meet with central american leaders and find ways to address the root causes of these issues. secretary kerry will be meeting with those leaders tomorrow. for our international partners we're taking new steps to go after the dangerous smugglers putting thousands of kids at lives at risk. understand, by the way, for the most part, this is not a situation where these children are slipping through, they are being apprehended but the problem is, is that our system is so broken, so unclear that folks don't know what the rules

are. now, understand, there are a number of republicans who is are willing to work with us to pass real -- who are willing to work with us to pass this and i want to thank them for their efforts. there are a number of republican leaders in the senate who did excellent work and deserve our thanks. and there's been volks in the house trying -- folks in the house trying to get this work done and quietly, because it doesn't always help me to praise them, i've expressed to them how much i appreciate the efforts they've made. i believe speaker boehner when he says he wants to pass an immigration bill. i think he genuinely wants to get something done. but last week, he informed me the republicans will continue to block a vote on immigration

reform at least for the remainder of this year. some in the house republican caucus are using the situation with unaccompanied children as their newest excuse to do something. i want everything to think about that. the argument seems to be because the system is broken, we shouldn't make an effort to fix it. it makes no sense. it's not on the level. it's just politics. plain and simple. there are others in the republican caucus in the house who are arguing that they can't act because they are mad at me about using my executive authority too broadly. this also makes no sense. i don't prefer taking administrative action. i would rather see permanent fixes to the issue we face, certainly that's true on

immigration. i've made that clear multiple times i would love nothing more than bipartisan legislation to pass the house, the senate land on my desk so i can sign it. it's true about immigration, the minimum wage, equal pay. there are a whole bunch of things where i would greatly prefer congress actually do something. i take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue and congress chooses to do nothing. and in this situation, the fair ure of house republicans to pass a darn bill is pad for our security, it's bad for our economy and it's bad for our future. so while i will continue to push house republicans to drop the excuses and act -- and i

hope their constituents will, too -- america cannot wait forever for them to act. that's why today i'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own without congress. the first step, i'm directing the homeland security director and attorney general to move resources from our interior to the border, protecting public safety and deporting dangerous criminals has been and will remain the top priority but we'll refocus our efforts to do what we can to make our borders secure. i have directed secretary johnson and holder to identify actions that we can take on our own, within my existing legal shorts to do what congress refuses to do and fix as much

of our immigration system as we can. if congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours. i expect the recommendations before the end of the summer and i intend to adopt those without further delay. of course, even with aggressive steps on my part, administrative action alone will not adequately address the problem. the reforms that will do the most is strengthen our businesses, our workers and our entire economy will still require an act of congress. i repeat, these are reforms that already enjoy the support of the mesh people. it's where rare where you get labor, business, evangelicals, law enforcement, all agreeing on what needs to be done. at some point, that should be

enough. normally, that's enough. the point of public service is to solve public problems and those who serve need to do that. if we do, one year from now, the economy and the security will be stronger and maybe those who come to study here would stay here and create jobs here. maybe companies who play the rules won't be undercut by companies who don't. maybe those families whose children are often u.s. citizens, neighbors, friends, and whose children are our kids' friends who go to school with them, maybe those families will get to stay together. >> you've been listening live to president obama speaking outside the white house, expressing a sense of frustration with the lack

ability by the house gop to make any kind of changes with immigration policies. house speaker john boehner telling the president that the house gop will not vote on any immigration overhaul this year. the president said that's not acceptable. so he is going to make some changes to immigration polys is through executive action -- policies through the executive action without congressional approval. this is not his preferred way to go. this is a story we'll continue to follow and have much more on our website and later newscasts on ktvu. and we'll have more of cute channel 2 news at noon -- of ktvu channel 2 news at noon right after this. great! do you have measurements? yeah, i paced it off. it's about twenty by twelve of these. so, we can measure, plan and install it for you. yea, let's do that! ikea.

their favor. it was close. the justices voted 5-4 that some for-profit corporations have religious rights. the issue before the supreme court was whether businesses could be forced to offer certain types of contra sep differents such as -- contraceptives such as iuds and the morning-after pill. the decision was an appeal. this comes two years after justices narrowly upheld the affordable care act. >> we're thrilled with the court's decision today. we think this is a great day for religious freedom. the court reaffirmed that american families don't give up their constitutional right to religious freedom just because they open a family business. >> reporter: local managers and employees refused to comment on the decision. some are concerned the decision could lead to other healthcare challenges on religious grounds. we spoke with customers who had heard about the decision and

got mixed reaction. >> i think that it kind of sucks for their employees but at the end of the day, it's just -- just their decision. they've always had strong christian beliefs. that's why they are not open sundays. i think as a sunday, they should be able to make their decision. >> i i'm a little disappointed. i wish everybody would give people their right to choose. i do agree it's their decision and it's their company so they have to do what they like. >> reporter: u.s. senator bar ba boxer is speaking out about the decision saying while i'm relieved that the hobby lobby ruling was narrow, i still cannot understand how the court's majority could put the ideology of closely-held corporations above the health and religious freedom of thousands and thousands of their female employees. reporting live from morgan hill, janine de la vega, ktvu
