in great part to cat town and ann's team of more than 200 volunteers, oakland animal services' euthanasiaate has dropped from 42 to 14%. rebecca katz is the shelter's director. rebecca katz: i feel so fortunate to have a partner like ann dunn and cat town because it's really resulted in tremendous life saving. it's a collaboration. it's not a conflict. ann: the thing that i'm most excited about is we have some really small spaces and we have some larger spaces. garvin: things are going so well, cat town is expanding, giving more people, ann hopes, a chance to judge a cat not in a cage but with a cup of coffee. announcer: coming up, a silicon valley engineer comes up with an innovative idea to give loads of love. his mission, to help those less fortunate. and-- darren greenwood: somebody you don't know is thinkin' about ya. announcer: how to you thank the people who saved your son's life? one father grabbed his paintbrush and got to work. it's a best of "bay area proud." food. water. internet. we need it to live. for all the streaming and the shopping and the newsing, but most of all... fo

>> reporter: to animal advocate pat craig the mass euthanasia was horrific. >> i have been in this businessbody that quietly euthanized their animals without trying to find homes for them first. >> reporter: his sanctuary offers refuge to animals, including those old and frail. it is less than two hours away from lion's gate and says the owners should have asked for help. >> it was so blatantly in their backyard to have somebody like us take them, i think is what confuses people. >> reporter: they euthanized their animals on april 20th, eight days after the county refused their request to move the sanctuary. >> we're not going to argue with you anymore. it makes more sense to move to a better location. >> reporter: people who live near the new area complained. >> you're relocating large predators into a highly density or medium density area. >> my children could be seriously hurt or worse, killed. >> reporter: the commissioner's made a decision based on emotion and not the law. the lion's gate owners wrote in a statement. as a result, 11 innocent animals paid the price. >> we don't buy that

so, the euthanasia rate was 75%. which i think was over 8000 animals per year being euthanized. >> reporter: now after 5 years of training, financial assistance, and support, the stockton death rate is down to 15%. still high but much better. the spca says the average rate in san francisco is a 7%. they also say it is time for the city of stockton to take back operations. >> the city of stockton has been great to work with. we are grappling with the cost of it and how they have endured the ongoing costs. we are happy to work with stockton to make the transition as smooth as possible. >> reporter: the ongoing cost last year was $750,000. the city of stockton estimates they would need more than $1 million if they had to run the program themselves. but there is no disagreement that thousands of dogs and cats owe their lives to the improved shelter services. the spca here says they are walking away and taking lessons learned from the experience and will use it to help additional animal shelters and other parts of the cen

view, we should also say that the vatican and the pope are happy with an anti-abortion or anti-euthanasiaous freedom platforms of the trump administration. so that they do have some things which are important to both sides that they have in common. and likely those will also be addressed. what we are looking at now are some beauty shots of inside the vatican in this beautiful apos tollic palace from the 15th century. everybody is waiting just outside the pope's library for the doors to open and then the pope will have a chance to meet with the first family and with members of the u.s. delegation before they do the exchange of gifts, which normally as we said the pope gives a copy of his encyclical on the environment as well as some papal medals and rosaries. that will be the next appointment for president trump. and then he heads down to the vatican's secretary of state and the foreign minister where they will probably discuss some of the initiatives that the u.s. and the vatican are working on. one of the things that sources here at the vatican have told me is important to them and the p

. >> jimmy: next for euthanasia, he puts, "that who makes my trump brand ties." >> steve: wow. [ laughterience ohs ] >> jimmy: youth in a -- no. >> steve: this is nice, yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, i get it. but no. [ applause ] >> steve: youth in asia. >> jimmy: and finally, a a midwife is your second of three wives. >> steve: wow. >> jimmy: and they go -- this is. [ cheers and applause ] don't do it. >> steve: wow. >> jimmy: don't do it if you're not. >> steve: why would he start a a website like that? >> jimmy: you don't need to do this. >> steve: you're the president. >> jimmy: that's pretty cool, guys, harry styles, my man harry styles is going -- [ cheers ] >> steve: come on! >> jimmy: is going on his first solo tour. [ cheers ] the tickets for all the shows sold out in less than two minutes -- [ audience groans ] as you expect, yeah. a lot of harry's fans were disappointed. check out what they had to say about it. >> everything's sold out. you can't get a ticket. >> it's pretty tough. it's pretty disappointing. >> it's an outrage. and let me tell you something. we're going to fight this t

that's when romney went after me saying, biden is supporting euthanasia and he didn't criticize the policy. you know why they don't have enough replacement workers. nor does japan. nor does any country in europe. but united states does. it does. folks, tolerance long been our greatest attributes. it has a profound positive economic impact on us. earn is the respect of the entire world. keeping us together to do great things. as i've said we had our ugly periods. we had our moments of shame. but the arc of this nation really has been towards justice to paraphrase. when i was a kid in scranton there 1 enough -- wasn't enough work for my dad to support the family. there was good jobs in the delaware and wilmington area. i remember dad come up to my grand pa's house. my mom had four brothers, big irish family. my dad have to say, can you take care of jeannie and the kids pop. i'll be back in a year. he came up and sat on the end of the bed, he told me it took the longest walk any parent had to make. he told his child you can't live in that house anymore. we're going to have to move. he said it

think delia was mentioning that they do have similar points of view when it comes to abortion and euthanasia. but in brord terms, no, they don't seem to have much in common at the moment. let's keep in mind this is a new administration whose positions are slowly evolving, slowly become somewhat clearer. and there may be areas where they can finally find some sort of a common ground. but at the moment it's definitely a work in progress. >> we also have some details about what actually happened in the last couple of minutes or so within the vatican. our correspondent with the national catholic reporter has just tweeted out that apparently pope francis joked with the first lady about the president asking what do you give him to eat? so it goes to the tone of the meeting that this is very friendly. >> lighthearted, yes. >> pope francis was having a bit of a joke. also we are hearing that the meeting actually lasted 29 minutes. >> that's right. >> and as we have been saying the pope did give president trump a number of his writings including on the environment as well as climate change. >> yes, i

. >> some leading scientists say we have to have euthanasia. oh, no. oh, no.a person is going to die? we must never allow that. because this is the kind of thing that ushers in the terror of a hitler's germany. we must not allow these kind of things to enter our consciousness. >> i wanted to write a story about this guy and his power an the reach he had. so i began to contact ex members and they said all is not so good inside. that there were beatings if you got out of line. there was a lot of the sex abuse. and the story took on a new life at that point. very soon afterwards, the church members began leaving san francisco for guyana. >> he figures if i'm in guyana, it really doesn't matter what's said or written, nobody's going to get me here. ♪ we are a happy family we are a happy family yes we are ♪ >> it was an escapade almost unparalleled in the history of religious movements. they had very little communicion with loved ones at home. and naturally there was concern about where they had gone and what was happening out there in the jungle. >> i think jim jo

remember it was during the election and that's when romney went after me saying biden is supporting euthanasia, i came back and predicted within a year china would change the one child policy. you know why? they don't have enough replacement workers. , nor does japan nor does any country in europe, but the united states does. so folks, tolerance has long been our greatest attribute and it has a profound economic impact on us. it's earned us the respect of the entire world and keeping us together to do great things. as i've said we've had our ugly periods, we've had our moments of shame, but the art of the nation has bent toward justice, to paraphrase doctor king. when i was a kid, there wasn't enough work for my dad to fully support the family. there were good jobs in philadelphia and delaware and i remember dad coming up -- i didn't realize how hard it was. my mom had a big family and he had to say can you take care of her and the kids. i'll be back in a year. he came up and told me, it was the longest flight of steps any. had to make to tell his child you can't live in this house anymore, we

i read during the proceedings, a lot of milk or sisters worth, his opinion on euthanasia, not an opinion it did not affect his court, so i do not know which way he will go. >> what about the judge in hawaii who took such burns with some of president trump's campaign language? >> that is a great question. if the judge in maryland and hawaii did not challenge his use of authority under a statute. they challenge his motivation. both of them said, i'm going to use their phrase. this is a muslim man. it is not based on national security, based on religion. if that is true, if the courts uphold that. that raises the bar so high that it will be nearly impossible for the government to jump over it. in order to come to the characterization, they did not say anything that donald trump said as president trump, he took it as canada and trump, something i have never seen the courts due to a president before. >> everybody says it is trump being trumped, turns out it has consequences. he sees it now. >> it is unfair to them, i think to impose the words of candidate trump, whoever it might be on preside

when you have a strong financial story, euthanasia and in particular, it is sort of able to attract capital not get shaken out at the first signs of weakness in another economy. three or five years ago, that was may be different. ,att: except for china though because we talk about the effects of china on the western economies, and i'm assuming the thected men aside -- effect is magnified in indonesia. tim: they are walking a fine line. sentiment can shift. one of the things i'm talking about in terms of volatility that correlations, these are backward-looking indicators. they are not talking about the future. if china is not able to walk that fine line, if there is a policy mistake made say on the order of what happened in august 2015 with the shocked devaluation of the renminbi, that is a potential threat. so far, we have yet to see that. we are seeing the shadow system being reined in. the real economic data are not falling off a cliff by any means, so there is a lot riding on that, absolutely, particularly in commodity-linked countries like indonesia, for example. the day of reckoning pe

to animal advocate pat craig, the mass euthanasia was horrific. >> i've been in this business for 37ears and don't know of anyone who quietly euthanized their animals without trying to find homes for them first. >> reporter: his animal sanctuary offers refuge to hundreds of animals including those that are old and frail. it's less than two hours away. craig said the owners should >> option was there in their backyard. i think that's what really confuses both people. >> inhead lionsgate humanely euthanized their animals eight days after county officials rejected their request to move to a less flood-prone area. >> it makes more sense to move to a better location. >> reporter: people who lived near the new area complained small you're relocating large predators into a medium density area. >> reporter: the commissioners made a decision based on emotion and not the law. as a result, 11 innocent animals paid the price. >> we don't buy that thinking. this is not an acceptable yut come. >> reporter: he said animals at a private sanctuary often fall into a regulatory limbo. >> these animals

obama was a big proponent of abortion and euthanasia, gay marriage, embryonic stem cell research, genderideology. men and women searching. okay, that's what the pope said was demonic. they'll never hear the media talk about that. you said that the controversy about climate change. there is no catholic teaching on climate change. we have a stewardship towards the environment this is a full controversy because they love the pope because he is left on social and economic issues than they hate the president. they're simpler to figure out. maria: easy to figure out, but persistent. as the program points out, here we are covering the first international trip and went trip and what do we see in all the media, all the coverage about russia and its nonexisting collusion that continues to be driven down. what is the end result? something has to give. the media cannot stand the senate so we hear about is that they want to cover and a bias towards everything. a >> i woke up this morning and listened to radio and they said there's a picture of the president and the pope and the president is smiling,

they were given up at other shelters and slated for euthanasia. >> if you're interested in donating usedre are two drop off locations in san francisco. e at the sports basement on bryant. and at the san francisco spca. >> thank you very much. >> on sunny days, dempsey sells the leashes. $25 for a four-foot. >> this is great. it's recycling what would be thrown away. >> for the six-foot, it's 30. >> great idea. great cause. >> his rescue dog rascal has gone to doggy heaven. but he thinks of him. his inspiration. >> there's a lot of rope leashes out there. but these are the only ones that have like soul and a story to them. >> and the story lives on with other rescues, in san francisco, tera, ktvu, fox news. >>> a good day to walk the dog or get outside. because it's gorgeous out there. rosemary has more on what we can expect today. and that fog is changing. we can see more of that tower. >> it will continue to clear as we get through the second part of your morning into the early afternoon. mostly sunny skies. at least away from the coastline. we could be partly cloudy at the coast with s
