is also a spot where they could rally. you can see them carrying signs. so far, everything has been peaceful. this afternoon, though, there were several passionate and fiery speeches. they started marching. ktvu's david stevenson is following the protests and spoke with some of the protesters earlier. david, may day in san francisco has a different focus this year. >> it does, frank, the marchers just passed me here a few minutes ago. this year, it's not just about immigrants rights and the issue of jobs and jobs for people in the city. it's also about racial justice, police brutality, among other issues. take a look at the video that we shot a few minutes ago as they passed along mission street. may day is tied to immigrants rights, particularly here in san francisco, which is a sanctuary city. today's event and the city is focused on labor and immigrant rights. but there are other signs that other issues have taken precedence, including racial justice and police brutality. they are a large part of the conversation this year. marchers told us the different

issues on display don't over shadow each other and are all connected. >> some of the issues that immigrants need to deal with include lack of access to well paying jobs and protected jobs and then there's also the racial justice aspects to all of it. >> what's most important is what's going on in baltimore about the unjustice. the police have been giving to freddie gray. >> there are a lot of different groups part of this coalition. at the end of the day, it's about dignity and respect for all human beings. >> marchers came to the intersection on 15th and mission to protest plans to build a new apartment building, which doesn't offer enough affordable housing for this community. we're going to be following them along their trail and heading down to 24th street to be there for some of the rallies. we'll bring you a report coming up at 6:00. >> reporting live in san francisco, ktvu david stevenson, fox 2 news. >> david, as the night progresses, is this their last stop at mission and 24th where

the bart station is? or will they be doing something after that? >> organizers i spoke to said that is their last stop, they plan to do a number. there have been speculation that folks will join some of the protesters later on this evening. we don't have that confirmed for sure. we'll check that out. >> if looks like police are giving them their space, correct? >> they are. police are used to escorting marchs of these types along the streets of san francisco. even ones that target police brutality. it's been a very peaceful march. hundreds of people in the streets, by one count, i was told it was 1,000 people. everyone is moving peacefully. it's a bright, sunny afternoon, it's a friday. and that's brought out a lot more people along the route than those who originally began the march at civic center plaza, frank. >> we'll check back in with you later. david, thank you. >> we have seen may day protests happening across oakland as well today.

>> let's live our life. >> earlier, dozens gathered outside city hall. people listened to rappers and singers and speakers and the messages against police violence. police were on hand, but they did stay away from gathering. some 300 people marched this morning. it was part -- this was a labor rally organized by the long shoreman union. the union voted to move its monthly meeting when they don't work to today, to shut down the port for the day. one man said the long shoreman have a long history of standing up against racial injustice. others joined to make a statement about police killings. >> it just feels right. unity, you know. come together. >> and from california, where andy lopez was shot dead. the sheriff's department, and

i'm here to make a statement. >> another protest in the station early this morning failed to have the desired impact. demonstrators hoped to block the shuttle buses used by many workers at tech companies, but those buses were rerouted. highly paid tech workers are pushing low income people out of their homes. in baltimore, the cur few begins in a few hours, but hundreds of people are marching tonight against police brutality. it's the third night in a row that city has been under curfew following riots that started over the death of freddie gray. >> today, six baltimore police officers were charged in freddie gray's death. a state attorney said the arrest of gray was illegal and his treatment in custody amounted to murder and manslaughter. >> has led up to police we have probable cause to file criminal charges. >> cheers broke out this morning when she announced the charges. gray died after being put in the back of a police van with his hands and feet restrained. however, he didn't have a seat

belt on and suffered head and neck injuries as the van was being driven around baltimore. today, the officer who drove that van was charged with quote, second-degree depraved heart murder. depraved heart means the suspect knew his actions may have ended in someone's death, but didn't care. officers and three other officers are also charged with involuntary manslaug. all six of the officers are facing charges of assault and misconduct in office. to the people, i heard your call for no justice, no peace. your peace is sincerely needed. as i work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man. >> many people were surprised by how quickly the baltimore state attorney acted and ktvu fox 2 reporter spoke with criminal defense attorney, michael cardoza about whether she is rushing the case. >> second-degree murder, manslaughter, assault, let's

start with the stiffest charge. aggressive, not aggressive, you think? >> well, certainly the charge is very aggressive and what troubles me is they have done what? a day or two of investigation? >> case went to him yesterday. >> and today? >> yeah, today, second-degree murder. i have trouble with that. this is the type of case that should be thoroughly. i can tell you defense attorneys are lining up to try this case. each of those officers will have an individual defense attorney. one of the first things i know they are going to do is to solicit a coroner, a pathologist, to re-examine, to see if the conclusion of the coroner there was correct. and betting who the witnesses are. what their motivations are. >> let's talk about the state's attorney, and her decision to do this. as we mentioned, the case was handed to them yesterday and now you see the charges. she was very strong, very confident in front of the

microphone today and also revealed a lot about the case. unusual? >> no, not unusual at all. i'm not saying she's wrong, but after a day and a half or so, we bring these type of charges, then you blanket five or six officers, that seems awfully quick to me. that seems to be a knee jerk reaction to the way the public is reacting to this. instead of stepping back and really doing your job. maybe the charges should be brought. >> i was going to say that, the mood of the streets in baltimore and other streets across the nation influencing a prosecutor. >> yes, absolutely. they are. they do influence prosecutors and that is wrong. am i saying that the public is wrong in their perception? absolutely not. >> how difficult is it to convict a police officer, not even first-degree murder or second-degree murder? >> it's very difficult to convict police officers. and that's why i say, take your time. make sure you can do it.

don't over charge the case, because if you over charge it, the community is going to fall in love with that murder charge and then wonder why you didn't get that murder charge. and then they are going to be upset about that and it's going to cause political -- exactly. so do it slow. >> again, to emphasize the state attorney has been looking into this case for a few weeks here. it wasn't until yesterday when the baltimore police department actually handed over its findings on its own investigation to the prosecutors. >> so listen to michael cardoza speak there. he definitely thinks in this case, the prosecutor may have felt some pressure from the situation, the explosive situation in baltimore and may have rushed the case as a result. >> not saying that the public perception on the street is wrong, but yes, he feels the prosecutor in this case was influenced by what was happening there on the streets. not only in baltimore, but really all across the country. the problem with that, he says, and making that quick rush to judgment and charges is that you are really setting the bar high, especially when you have that second-degree murder

charge. if you don't follow through, if you don't get that conviction, you are opening yourself up to protests and riots. >> a lot of people would be disappointed. thank you. new at 5:00, some uc berkeley students are trying to stop a new luxury apartment building from being built downtown. ktvu's john joins us live from campus and john, they say that building would block a pretty amazing view. >> gasia, we are standing at the base right now. turning around the other side, you can see how right here on a fog-free day, you can see the bay, ail alcatraz are in clear view. the proposed development would partially fog in this view permanently. >> one of the iconic buildings at the university of california. >> it's very important to have symbols. >> along with the 100-year-old building comes suggest views up top and from the ground around it. >> when they design the campus, the goal was to have

this view of the bay area that was spectacular, that all of the generations of students could enjoy. >> but now there's a plan in the works to build an 18 story apartment building that would obscure the ground level vistas. >> this is a 302 unit building. >> with rents approaching $4,000 per month. it would go in at 22 is 2211 harold way. everything else, including the movie theater would be torn out, although there are plans to rebuild that theater. >> they could make the northern portion of the building lower and they could alter it in other ways and they would have less of an impact on the view. so far, they haven't really been willing to consider that. >> there's also opposition in nearby berkeley high school because of the adverse effects there. >> traffic is already a real challenge around the high school. in terms of dropping off and picking up students. several streets are proposed to be closed during the construction phase. >> opponents created a

petition to stop a development, which has been signed to close to 3,000 people. >> there's a housing crisis in the city of berkeley. but there are plenty of places you can build on either side of this view. that would be sustainable housing. >> i talked to mayor tom bates. he told me he supports the plan as is and believes all this opposition is based more on opposition to development in general. back to you guys. >> john, thank you. the anticipation is growing for what could be one of, if not the biggest fight in history. today, undefeated floyd mayweather and manny each completed their official weigh in. it's not just the boxers who are winning big this weekend. it's ktvu's azna smith tells us, they are doing big things because of pacouiai's story. >> the fight starting at

$2700. ring side, $36,000. to watch it on pay per view, $100. >> i have been looking for this my whole life. >> at this popup store in union city, anything fight related is bold. >> i think this is the one right here. >> it's been ridiculous. super busy. >> phillippi know store owner says he has been working from dusk to dawn. and the merchandise, this is his busiest season yet. >> why do you think everyone is rooting for him? >> he's the pride of the philippines. everyone is supportive. he's been a hero since he started his career. >> from property to congressman, the pride known as pack man, the inspiration for this shirt. an hour, the store sold 200 of them. >> he represents not just the sport of boxing, but the people

from the lowest position to the highest position. >> former fighter turned coach, ed carpio who trains other fighters have followed his journey, never forgetting the day he got his glove signed. >> you see someone like that, come from nothing to something, just to push harder and not necessarily to fight in the ring, but you know, whatever it is in lieu of that you're fighting for. >> all of them hoping to make their mark, just like the biggest athlete in the world has made his mark. in san jose, azna smith, ktvu fox 2 news. >> tessla unveils a new battery to run your home. how much money it says it saves. >> denied a life saving organ transplant because he used medical marijuana. the new effort to change the rules involving who gets a transplant. >> and back in the wild, a special group was invited to see this golden eagle fly free. >> and the fog is back. get ready for a big cooldown.

introducing the one-and-only volkswagen golf sportwagen. the sportier utility vehicle. legislation is moving forward that would make it illegal for hospitals to remove organ transplant patients if they use medical marijuana. >> 8258 is now in the state senate after passing overwelmingly to the assembly yesterday. ktvu's john fowler tells us supporters say patients are dying because of the stigma surrounding marijuana. >> reporter: he had viral hepatitis and like about 4,000 people just in the bay area. >> desperately needs a liver transplant. just playing with his granddaughter, he says, exhausts him. >> depression is always there.

i'm tired of not being able to go out and do anything. i'm pretty much confined to the house. the nausea is pretty much almost full-time. i have taken every nausea pill they have given me and none of them helped at all. >> what does help is marijuana. he got a medical marijuana card and says cannabis helps him eat, sleep, and improves his mood and energy. plus, it doesn't hurt his liver. but what it does hurt is his chance for a new liver. he says he was on a stanford transplant list until urine tests came up positive for pot. >> that thought never crossed my mind i was doing anything wrong and so they said that, you know, i can't be doing that. it's not in their protocall. >> california recognizes cannabis as an effective medicine. many patients say it's the only thing that relieves their symptoms. but unlike some states, california law allows hospitals to deny life saving organs to

patients who use medical marijuana. >> i don't think smoking marijuana, medical or otherwise is a good idea when you're on a transplant list. >> specialist, dr. bonaccini says there are sound medical reasons for prohibiting pot before transplants. marijuana sometimes contain as fungus. >> which is an organism that can be fatal in patients after liver transplantation. >> doctors suppress immune systems, but that puts patients at risk for diseases including cancer that are associated with smoking pot. as for nausea, appetite, and weight gain, there's a synthetic drug for that. >> so i think the nice alternatives that can do away with the use of marijuana. >> each hospital sets its own rules for marijuana use and transplant cases. some allow edible products, but not smoked. ucsf is less restrictive on marijuana than some, requiring

just one clean drug test, not mandating candidates be drug- free six months or longer. cpmc usually allows medical pot before kidney transplants and is now revising its protocall. rules are administered case by case by committee. a patchwork that 8258 would standardize. its author mark lavine. >> we are making sure those patients who are suffering from diseases are not kicked off of the organ transplant registry list because of medical cannabis use. >> cpmc transplant chief tells us that kind of legislation is bad medicine. >> if you trust your physician and the program that you're going to, you should trust their policies that they have. i don't think you really need a bill. >> richard hawthorne made it on the ucsf transplant list. he can't smoke marijuana and supports 8258. >> and also for people that are following me, that need it

also, i want them not to have to go through what i'm going through. >> he has been off and on the liver transplant list six years and worries his luck is running short. john fowler, ktvu fox 2 news. >> seven states already have laws on the books similar to ab258. >> let's talk about our weather now, bring in mark, filling in for bill this evening, and the fog is rolling in. >> it's never a gradual temperature change. san francisco, you want to guess what time the high checked in today? >> 1:00. >> about 1:00 a.m. this morning. that's how warm it was. >> yeah, the fog came in and really cooled things off. that happened today with the sea breeze really kicking up and as a result, we cooled things off coast side and around the bay. not only in san francisco, but take a look at some of the numbers. santa rosa yesterday 91. today down to 80. look at that big change in san francisco. 84 yesterday. back down to 68 degrees and half-moon bay, 83 on thursday,

completely different story today. in the upper 50s at 59. you can see the main reason, there's that fog bank offshore. here's a closer look at the satellite, hugging a good portion of the shoreline and a good portion of san francisco as well. looks like we have clearing out towards the embarkadero. it will be increasing in coverage overnight. current numbers, still pretty warm. showing you some 80s inland. fairfield, 84 degrees. walnut creek 86. san jose right now checking in 76 and howard 71 degrees. giants playing this evening, patchy fog, you want to bundle up at at&t with the temperatures only in the 50s and that wind will be picking up. we have a deeper marine layer. with that, this will transport the cooler marine air inland. everybody cools off into the weekend forecast for both saturday and into sunday. here's the plan for tomorrow morning. the expected fog coverage at 7:00. the fog just near the shoreline

apes a good push into the bay, also in the north bay up towards santa rosa, we could have overcast. left over fog for san francisco. inlad, instead of upper 80s, lower 80s tomorrow afternoon. take a look at the numbers, lots of s for santa rosa. fairfield 80. oakland 69. still a string of lower 80s for livermore. santa cruz 68 degrees and san francisco 64. half-moon bay 62. here's a look ahead. your five-day forecast with the cooler temperatures into the weekend and holding steady to next week with partly cloudy skies for monday and tuesday. a strange deal today, start out with lots of sunshine near parts of the coast and the bay, but once again, that fog moved in. >> all right, thanks, mark. >> a flight from hawaii to oakland forced to turn around. the new pictures from the tarmac. also hear from a passenger about the frightening moments. >> also, new at 6:00, the

developing news on this may day. we are following peaceful marchers. they have been marching along mission street for may day. they arrived at their

destination 24th and mission. there is a bart station there, as i'm sure you know. appears to be a rather large crowd from the picture from above. many of them are holding signs and flags. now this is one of many actions happening today. we now decided to send sky fox down to the south bay. we're hearing marchers are on the move there, as soon as sky fox gets down to the south bay. we will bring you what we see. meanwhile, scary moments for some passengers on a flight from maui that was bound for oakland. their plane was forced to make a hard landing. you're looking at pictures sent to us from the airfield. fumes in the cabin. we talked with jim of walnut creek, a passenger on hawaiian flight 24. he says the trouble started minutes after takeoff. he says it sounded like the landing gear motor kept running. then he says the plane started banking unusually. he also says he smelled smoke, but actually didn't see any. >> after awhile, nobody knew

what was going on. and then the pilot came on and the pilot was so scared. i mean, he was stuttering and he couldn't really talk straight. and he tried to sound calm. he said i'm going to get you guys back on the ground. >> it took about 30 long minutes in his words to get back on the ground. the plane was evacuated using emergency slides. hawaiian air says there were 224 passengers and 10 crew members on board. two passengers were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. a golden eagle that was rescued last month in the san ramone valley returned to the wild today. >> one, two, three. >> what a beautiful animal. there were cheers from the crowd as the eagle took flight. it spent the last month recovering from head injuries in walnut creek. firefighters who rescued the bird were at today's release. the eagle, by the way, has been outfitted with a new tracking device. >> tessla shows off a new

battery for your home, not your car, and a local winery has the technology. how much they savedded and why one solar expert calls it a game changer for consumers. plus -- >> basically killed the whole apartment. >> the few things that a family was able to grab before a fire tore through their apartment. >> and a multimillion dollar donation to a university in the south bay for a very specific purpose.

tessla's announcement could change the way people buy electricity. tessla's battery can store solar electricity. >> ktvu's tom vacar shows us how it's a way to get people off the grid. >> the eight checks and family wineries started installing tessla commercial sized battery storage systems six months ago. currently, the batteries are charged at night when power from the grid is its cheapest. since the wineries use most of their power in the afternoon when power prices are the highest, they can switch over to their battery power to save lots of money. >> the plan with these batteries in this particular case is to focus on peek demand. >> to save more money.

the jackson family is deploying the largest solar array, but will supply half of all their power needs and charge the batteries. >> electricity is only getting more expensive. any way we can store it and become more self-reliant, that's ultimately a good thing. >> now, tessla is offering smaller home size units, especially for those homes that already have solar or soon will. >> having lithium ion batteries and small units compact that integrate easily to a home's electrical system, there's not a product like that out on the market yet and i personally believe that is the future for energy storage. >> tessla's home batteries can be charged from nighttime grid power or solar power allowing consumers to pick their price. an average electric bill, $3500 system, purchase or lease would pay for itself in about three to four years. over a ten-year period, the average pg&e customer would

save double that in lower bills. >> instead of buying very expensive energy, peek energy from pt and e, you can use the energy from the battery. >> this game changing technology could cost utilities a lot of electricity sales as consumers, big and small, become more self-reliant. tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. >> so when can you buy one of those? tesla is taking reservations and deliveries are expected this summer. that home battery is expectedded to cost $3500. police are asking for help identifying a hit-and-run driver who injured add three- year-old boy. security cameras captured this picture of that box truck that police say the suspect was driving. police say the driver sped off after hitting the boy yesterday shortly after 10:00 in the morning. it happened right in front of august and memorial park, where the child had been with his mother. police say the good news here is that the little boy is expected to be okay. attorney for california's two teacher's unions filed a

brief today in an on going appeal in a tenure case. the attorneys argued a so peer court's ruling that struck down tenure was flawed. there was no legal justification for doing so. the unions are hoping to get tenure restored. that decision against tenure came down last june and is in the process of being appealed. the weekend is here and if you're looking for something to do on this first weekend of may, mike has some ideas for you in our weekend watch. >> say good-bye to april and hello to may. what's happening, everyone, mike here with your weekend watch. the run for the roses is saturday and golden gate field is always a good hot spot to watch the kentucky derby. there's a traditional hat contest, and much more. gates open just before 8:00. general admission is $6. liver more's wine festival is taking place both saturday and sunday. 150,000 people expected to swarm right into the downtown area for the weekend. organizers say the festival is the east bay's largest celebration of wine, craft

with six of our best six-inch subs, like the tender turkey breast plus any bag of chips and a 21-ounce drink for just $6 every day.

the unexpected death of two witnesses forced them to drop charges against the rim fire. that fire back in 2013 burned 200 square miles and caused $125 million in damage. 33-year-old, matthew emerald was indicted last year by a federal grand jury of starting the fire. prosecutors say he lost control of his campfire. but today, federal prosecutors dropped all charges against him. the reason, one witness recently died in a workplace accident. another witness died from a heart attack and prosecutors say without their testimony, they don't think they can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. >> a family of four is without a home tonight. the fire started just after

5:00 a.m. in san mateo. believed several pets died in the fire. ktvu fox 2 spoke with the victim's relatives and he explains why the family is dealing with tragedy beyond the fire. >> this picture provided to us by a resident of the apartment complex shows how high the flames reached just before 5:15 this morning. >> we went to a second alarm. that got us four battalion chiefs on scene. >> responded to this three alarm fire. three adults and a six-year-old child were asleep when the smoke alarms went off. a fire that started in the downstairs quickly spread. they immediately evacuated, leaving behind everything, including pets behind. >> basically killed the whole apartment. all her fish, all her birds, i'm still looking for her cat. that's sad. >> the family says at least 30 exotic birds in the apartment are believed to have parished in the fire.

the victim had three cats. two were missing, but our cameras were there when she was reunited with one of them. >> everybody is good, i'm checking on mama, because she has soot around her mouth. other than that, everyone is fine. >> luckily the fire didn't spread. despite the quick response by firefighters, there were several challenges in preventing this fire from spreading. >> the biggest challenge was access to the fire building. so our guys had to make a really long hose length to get it back there. >> the family was only able to save a few moe men momentos. they will continue to move forward. the cause of the fire remains under investigation. in san mateo, brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> a major new development after reported attacks on a well known trail in the east bay. tonight, police are saying it was all a hoax. >> demonstrators have gathered outside city hall. we are bringing you live

pictures and a report right after this break. and in weather, working its way back into the bay area forecast. how much cooling your saturday forecast, also let you know if you have anymore heat ups in the five-day weather outlook.

to city hall and azna smith is there. azna. >> frank, 200 people are here at san jose city hall. they arrived within the last 15 minutes. they came from guadalupe church on story and king and they marched three miles on santa clara street. they ended up here. there are a lot of families. there are community groups. they are holding up signs pushing for immigration reform. there's also aztec dancers. very colorful crowd here and because there's a lot of families, i went ahead and i grabbed this family here. this is selma mario. why are you here with your ten- year-old daughter? >> i'm here to support all of the immigrant families and to support immigration reform and i brought my daughter so she can see she's part of a bigger community that she needs to try to set up for and stand in solidarity with. >> do you feel as though the

message is getting lost with the other may day rallies going on? >> no, not really. most of the may day rallies stand for some sort of injustice, different communities see it happening around the nation and they are setting up for whatever they feel that is injustice in their neck of the woods. >> and how do you feel about being here? >> nice. and more confident. >> all right, thank you. so yeah, a lot of people are here pushing for immigration reform. i heard talking about worker's rights and the issues happening in baltimore. this has been rather peaceful and there is -- there are motorcycle officers out here to make sure that it stays peaceful. we don't believe there's anything else going on after this. they should be out here for the next half hour or so. that's the latest here in san jose, i'll send it back to you. >> azna smith at city hall there in san jose, thank you. liver more police today said two reports of sexual

assaults along a popular trail were made up. a 29-year-old woman told police she was sexually assaulted tuesday night. the claim prompted extra police patrol, searches, even the publication of a suspect description. livermore police say as officers investigated, they grew concerned about the validity of the story. she admitted to making the whole thing up. livermore police say a second claim also turned out to be a hoax. police say they take every report of sexual assault seriously. california's population is growing to 38.7 million people. san jose grew to just over a million. san francisco now has more than 845,000 residents. oakland's population is 410,000. unusual jump in population, we found for taft. grew 6% to 9500 residents. that's because it opened up a correctional facility and all the inmates there are officially residents. state officials say california's growth rate is

slower now. immigration from other countries slowed the birth rate is declining. silicon valley venture capitalist and his wife, karen, are donating $25 million to santa clara university. st gift is one of the largest in that school's history. it will go toward programs that use innovation and entrepreneurship to address the needs of the poor around the world. all that money will allow the miller center for social entrepreneurship to expand its reach and help find new ways to lift people out of poverty. >> if only we could transplant the weather we had yesterday and the day before on to the weekend, then mark, i think we would have ourselves a plan. >> all sorts of outdoor festives. today, it's hard to sunrise in the bay area in one word. we had the fog and cool conditions coast side and inland, back up to the 90s for this afternoon. and taking a look at numbers, they are deceiving. we talked about this earlier. you can see i'm pointing out pacifica, these temperatures checked in early this morning.
