events this weekend. now, today, first lady jill biden is on a separate visit. she'll be coming here to the bay area. she'll be in kentfield to attend the political finance event. then she's scheduled to fly to southern california tomorrow. >> today, the biden administration is expected to announce a proposal for tougher asylum standards at the us border. now, it would speed up the process for asylum claims, which would make it faster for the government to remove any migrants who are not eligible to stay in the country due to criminal records or national security risks. it would also allow immigration officials to block asylum claims within days or even hours instead of years. >> our time is 406. policies at sacramento state university are being changed now after pro-palestinian protesters rallied for more than a week, demanding that the university divest from israel. i believe that we will win. now, the

demonstrators celebrated the university's decision to change its socially responsible investment, which does not specifically mention israel. but it does say the university's investment portfolios must stay away from corporations that profit from genocide, ethnic cleansing and activities that violate human rights as socially responsible investments shouldn't be specific just to one injustice. >> this is one of the most notable and horrific injustices happening right now. >> fox states administration did everything right. this is what they should have done. >> now the protesters started camping out on april 29th at the library's quad, a midnight deadline was set by the university for the protesters to leave the encampment. when they were asked if they would leave, the protesters yesterday said no comment. now, student protesters on other campuses are closely watching the decisions made at sacramento state. protesters at san francisco state say they're encouraged by the agreement and

plan to continue rallying at the encampment on their campus until their demands are met. all students across our campuses stand in solidarity together when we say united front, we mean every student in california. >> we mean every student through the csu. when we look at sac state, we see the accomplishments that they have made. and as you've heard here, we look at our own admin and we say, why aren't you doing this? and why aren't you standing up for us now? >> now, the students say san francisco state has $160 million in its general endowment. they want the university president to commit to divesting from companies that do business with israel. many people are enjoying the warmer weather. >> this is what it looked like at heather farm park in walnut creek yesterday. a lot of people headed out to enjoy the sunshine ice cream and snow cone trucks were also there to help people cool down. >> it's the place to go, right? so it's so it's so hot today. so, you need to get get outside of the house and, and, this is

the this is the best place to go get some ice cream. yeah, yeah, get some ice cream for sure. yeah. >> more warm weather is expected the rest of the week. >> yesterday's numbers spanned anywhere from 70 at the seashore to 83 degrees. for the warmest location of our inland areas. good morning, everybody. today you will feel the difference. right now we have visibility. unlimited official sunrise. well it hasn't happened as of yet. it's, oh, dark hundred out there. still temperatures wise, we are in the 50s and 60s. palo alto suggests 45, but i would have to challenge that number easily about 53 degrees at this hour. meanwhile as far as your winds are concerned, they are out of the north for the most part, but will be fluctuating more of an offshore push later today. we have a 12 mile per hour win in novato, and these winds will be a little bit more consistent later today. 10 to 20mph out of the north, but it will not be as windy as it was

yesterday. we still do have that wind advisory in effect for extreme north bay interior mountains, the mayacamas mountain range, primarily where the wind gusts overnight have been up to 50mph. but those winds will begin to relax later today. main reason is we still have high pressure in command right here, but it was bumping up against that ridge of low pressure out over the rockies, and now we're seeing a little bit of a break in that activity. but meanwhile, as that high pressure strengthens our temperatures are going to go up by at least five six degrees in the santa rosa area. cotati, gurnee ville and sebastopol, as well as rohnert park, san francisco yesterday, 76 today. how about that 81 degrees? we're talking about flirting with 90 degrees in throughout the tri-valley. somebody's backyard will top off at 90 and 86 degrees around los gatos and in saratoga. so when will we see the return of the fog? let's take a look at our future cast

at 1:00 today. still not a cloud in the sky, but we see that fog bank begin to lift up from the monterey bay area into monterey beach and also half moon bay. then by later tonight, those clouds begin to thicken. that's going to bring down our coastal temperatures ever so gradually on the coast side. in fact, today, san francisco at 81 by saturday, with the influx of the marine layer at 70 degrees. go ahead and pinpoint your neighborhood today. 73 pacifica 80, central bay, nearly 90 to the north. mid 80s to the south, and nearly 90 in our east bay. full forecast gang. that's still to come. >> all right. thank you roberta. more job cuts at tesla as thousands of workers have been laid off in the last few weeks, we're going to hear from one former employee who used to commute all the way from the central valley and a young hockey player with bay area roots expected to be the number one pick for the san jose sharks in next month's nhl draft. >> we'll let you hear from his father, a longtime trainer with

tuesday. well excitement is building for fans of the san jose sharks for the first time in franchise history, the sharks will have the number one pick in the nhl draft. >> that's exciting and ktvu lamonica peters tells us more about the 17 year old player who has bay area roots, who could soon be skating at the shark tank at o'flaherty's irish pub in downtown san jose. >> sharks fans say they're happy to hear the team will have the number one pick in next month's nhl draft. that means they'll have the chance to select 17 year old macklin celebrini. >> last season was tough. you know, for any sharks fan, you know, it's, no one likes losing and all you can hope is that they're building for the future, right? sharks. >> general manager mike greer says celebrini has the talent and dedication to play in the national hockey league. >> there's probably some six year old kids out there skating, so it's given these kids who were playing youth hockey, you know, someone to look up to and say, you know, like, i can i can possibly be that kid down the

road who was a junior shark. >> his family moved to the bay area from vancouver back in 2018. his father, rick celebrini , is a former mls soccer player and is now the director of sports medicine and performance for the golden state warriors. >> to have him in our own backyard, so to speak, and to, you know, mom, to bring him a meal every once in a while and do his laundry would be would be a lot of fun. >> san jose mayor matt mahon also posted this video message on social media. >> like many sharks fans, i'm crossing my fingers and hoping that we will be able to welcome back macklin celebrini. san jose sharks junior al-um celebrini, a standout player for boston university, also received the 2024 hobey baker award, which recognizes the best amateur hockey player in the country. >> we're able to think about how uplifting it is for this local guy whose dad is working in the bay area sports, and what can we do as a greater community to not just celebrate him, but all be a

part of his team? this year's draft will be held in las vegas on june 28th and june 29th, so sharks fans can head to vegas and watch the sharks team select the number one pick for the first time. >> lamonica peters, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. lamonica, thank you. times for 16. will. now we're getting a new look at the progress made on the stadium for the oakland ballers baseball team. with less than two weeks until the team's debut season begins. now, oakland mayor shang tao shared photos of the progress on those upgrades to raymond park in west oakland. now on top of a large set of bleachers that are being going, they're going in. there have also been improvements to nearby streets and sidewalks. the ballers raised $1.6 million to renovate the park. their first home game is june the 4th against the yolo high wheelers. >> cleanup and recovery efforts are underway in the southeast and midwest as deadly storms continue to hit several states. severe weather and tornadoes killed two people in tennessee and one person in north carolina

. in michigan, the national weather service issued its highest alert level for a tornado. emergency reports say one tornado tore through several communities with winds up to 135mph. we do have over 100 families that have been, removed from their houses. >> this is when the weather service has said, hey, pay attention. >> four people were killed in storms in the u.s. this week. >> wow. >> all right. time is 417. we're going to check your weather for us today. i know it's going to be hot, roberta. yes, absolutely . >> it is going to be warmer than yesterday. but hey, when did the sun start going down? after 8:00 at night? i mean, to go to bed. i was thinking about you guys saying you guys kept that from me because i was trying to go to bed, and it wasn't happening. >> it wasn't happening. >> it wasn't happening. hey, i did want to key in on what pam and dave was just alluded to, because yesterday, at one

particular time during the afternoon, i was watching 42 different severe thunderstorm slash tornado warnings, in effect 42. that's pretty ominous. and today our key focus will be in throughout tennessee working its way directly due east into the carolinas. and i got to tell you, this is the same system that brought us all the conditions on saturday in the form of some heavy rain and the very gusty winds. now, as we traverse back out west, we see that we have a clear slot and we're verifying that with our live weather camera that indicates that visibility is unlimited, not a cloud in the sky. and look at these temperatures. it's 68 degrees in santa rosa. that's as cool as it has gotten this morning. we have dipped down to the mid 50s and throughout the tri valley, 65 in throughout castro valley, 67 degrees and belmont and in san mateo. the winds are pretty slight at this hour, but they have been increasing in the north bay, and that's where we still have that wind advisory in effect until 8:00 this morning. and throughout the interior

mountain range of the north bay. we're talking about the mayacamas mountain range. we're at the peak winds this morning have been up to 50mph. that has been ushering your pollen around grasses. and the oak and mulberry tree count. come into play. i'm suffering just this right alongside of you. okay, so we have high pressure. it's right about there that continues to surge more towards the western states. and as it does so from here all the way into the sacramento valley, flirting with 90 degrees in our warmest location, concord, topping off today at 87, 88 degrees around the clayton area into oakley 90 tomorrow. so the heat does peak today and tomorrow before gradually, gradually cooling over the weekend. here we go 73 degrees today in pacifica, moss beach and montara beach. how about la honda also topping off near 80 degrees. low 80s in san francisco through the sunset district. how about 84 degrees in hayward? look at these temperatures. you know somebody's backyard will top off at 90 degrees. meanwhile here is

your extended forecast. we call for those temperatures to peak on friday still very warm away from the seashore on saturday. but notice the numbers tumble with the influx of the fog returning over the weekend through monday along our coastal strip. dave and pam. >> all right roberta, thank you times for 20. well, a last ditch effort to block the plans to change the name of oakland's airport to tell you about a letter sent to officials ahead of a big meeting scheduled later today. >> and elevated levels of carbon dioxide sent two students to the hospital in san jose. we'll tell u y. sci

brentwood fighting to get higher pay. when do we want? >> when do we want it? now >> last night the teachers rallied at the school board meeting. the teachers say they need a higher salary to be able to afford to live in the

community where they teach. negotiations with the school district have stalled, according to the teachers, after getting an offer that included no pay increase. but they're still hoping the school board will help them get a pay raise. >> we're hoping we're hoping that this is going to make a difference, because we know that our board is really responsive and does care about us, and so we're hoping when they see the impact of it that we'll get some movement and we'll be able to close things out. >> now, the district superintendent told the brentwood press, the school district is in a tough place financially and cited very expensive expenses and also a decline in enrollment. >> nearly a dozen students and teachers at a san jose middle school are recovering following an accidental exposure to carbon dioxide. >> we were just, like, working and stuff. and then some people started coughing a lot, like really coughing. and then the teacher came and saw what was like trying to see what was happening. and then she started

coughing. >> it happened yesterday morning at sunrise middle school. firefighters responded after reports that eight students and two teachers were having difficulty breathing. itchy eyes and nausea. the fire department says one classroom had elevated levels of co2. it's still unclear exactly what caused it, but san jose firefighters say students were scheduled to work on a volcano project with baking powder and vinegar in an email. school officials said vapors from chemicals in a locked closet may have leaked out, possibly through the hvac system . >> reaction of vinegar and baking soda leads to the production of carbon dioxide. you could probably, you know, breathe in some carbon dioxide that can displace the oxygen that your body needs. >> two students went to the hospital as a precaution, but they are back home this morning with their families. >> our time now for 25. governor gavin newsom plans to release his revised budget plan tomorrow in sacramento. a report from the

legislative analyst's office back in february forecast a budget deficit of as much as $73 billion by the year 2025. last month, the governor signed a bill reducing the budget deficit by $17 billion. the governor and state lawmakers agreed to a range of spending cuts. they also delayed spending and cuts to one time expenses that lawmakers and the governor have until the end of june to pass a budget for the next fiscal year. now, the state supreme court heard arguments on whether to pull the measure from the november ballot. the proposition would require all new and increased taxes to be approved by voters, making it harder for the state and local governments to raise taxes. right now, the state legislature could raise taxes with a two thirds vote in the senate and the state assembly. the governor is suing to keep it off the ballot, arguing it would eliminate most of the executive branch's

powers. business groups and taxpayer advocates who support the measure say they want to see government spending reduced. >> former longtime bay area congressman pete mccloskey has died. we have more on his legacy and how he is being remembered and anti-semitism concerns at some schools in the east bay. >> the school superintendent, who testified in front of congress, and the rally that was he

eliminated. >> in disbelief, he showed up to work. >> i got my badge. i went to the turnstile, and then, then it didn't work and it turned red, started beeping, and i was like, is this real? >> murillo is just one of the roughly 14,000 tesla employees to be laid off since april. 10% of the company's workforce are committed to his career. he'd spend much of 2023 sleeping in the back of his car all to avoid the daily three hour round trip to his house in the central valley. tesla's latest move going from more than 3000 worldwide job openings on its website to just three one tech expert suggests elon musk, posting his opinions on social media is partly to blame for the company's current slump. >> what elon musk did with x or twitter was not helping. it's turned off some of the people who didn't want to be associated with the brand like that,

professor ahmad bonafe explains. >> the popularity of hybrids, competition from china, concerns over battery replacement costs, and the lack of ev chargers across much of the country all contribute to tesla's trouble. plus, the industry as a whole is focused on the next wave in tech. >> i my analogy i played football is like things go wrong. the other team may get the ball and then, you know, you just got to work with what you got. >> he's now planning to sell his house and once again live in the back of his car. he did get a new job as a store manager in pleasanton in fremont. joey jordan, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, joey, thank you. time now. 433 president biden says he will not give weapons to israel that could be used to launch an assault on rafah in southern gaza. president biden, in an interview with cnn, says the united states is still committed to israel's defense and will supply defensive arms. but already the united states has delayed the shipment of

large bombs to israel, suggesting their use could cause excessive civilian casualties. >> if they go into rafah. they haven't gone in rafah yet. if they go into rafah, i'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem. >> meantime, the un world health organization says it has only three days of fuel for its medical operations in southern gaza, and shortages have already forced one of three hospitals in rafah to close the rafah border crossing with egypt has been closed since israel's military took control of the palestinian side earlier this week, blocking humanitarian aid from getting in. >> a civil rights complaint has been filed against the berkeley unified school district, urging an investigation into reports of discrimination against palestinian and arab students. >> enough is enough. seven months of families complaining that as they grieve the genocide

in gaza, they also feel unsafe in their schools. is intolerable. >> the san francisco office of the council on american islamic relations and the arab anti-discrimination committee have filed a federal civil rights complaint with the department of education. the complaint alleges several incidents of harassment and hate speech directed at palestinian and arab students in the berkeley unified school district. >> our time now 435 a rally was held in berkeley showing support for the school district superintendent, who testified before congress about reports of anti-semitism at schools. in that district. >> i thought she did an incredible job defending our district and the values we stand for. >> now, parents and community members at the rally say overall, berkeley is an inclusive community school superintendent annika ford martel testified before a congressional committee, saying that while there have been instances of anti-semitism on the campus, it's not widespread

and the school district has taken action to address these situations. >> it's, of course, anti-semitism in this country, including in berkeley, i'm sure. and there's also anti-semitism, anti-muslim racism and other kinds of hatred. >> now, many people at that rally carried signs calling for jewish palestinian solidarity, something they say they want to model for other communities. so all children can feel safe. >> the california public utilities commission is planning to vote today on a change that could affect your electricity bill. now, the commission will decide whether to approve a $24.15 cent fixed utility charge in exchange for lowering per unit electricity prices. supporters of the change say it will help lower income households, but critics say it won't benefit everyone who needs that financial help. >> our time is 437. the emeryville city council officially approved several measures aimed at curbing illegal tobacco sales. the city council passed a retail licensing requirement that it

includes annual monitoring, fines and suspensions for retailers who don't follow the tobacco laws. it also blocks licenses for stores that would sell tobacco products within 1000ft of a school, or other areas where young people may be, or within 500ft of another store that sells tobacco. the boy did it warm up yesterday. >> our high temperatures banked from 70 degrees along the seashore in pacifica to 83 degrees in san rafael. and guess what? today, even warmer conditions as our temperature span will be 75 degrees along the beaches to 90 degrees that will be experienced out towards fairfield and travis, into our interior valleys to the east. otherwise, sunny skies today. numbers panning out to be about 15 degrees above normal and some neighborhoods. and then we will begin to cool down ever so gently, especially on the

more you use, the more you pay. and you likely notice that you're paying a lot. these days. but the cpuc, that's the california public utilities commission, they kind of want to change the structure of how that all works. and it's meant to help customers who use a lot of electricity, say, in times during some of those summer months or when it's especially hot, or those who charge cars evs at home. now, cpuc trying to offer those customers a little bit of relief. it's part of a law passed two years ago that would require investor owned companies like pg and e to change how it charges you for your monthly bill. if regulators vote to take on this new proposal, that means your bill would then be broken up into two parts. you'd have a flat rate, which would cost most people about $24, and then your usage rate, which they suggest would drop about 5 to $0.07 per kilowatt hour to try to offset that flat cost. essentially, pg and e wouldn't be receiving any more money from you. the flat rate would be even cheaper for customers enrolled in low income

programs. they only pay about 6 or $12, depending on the program they're in. that's all meant to be a little bit of help during the summer months or during those peak energy usage days, and could save you about $30 a month. but those savings that depends entirely on where you live. if you're not enrolled in one of those low income programs and you live somewhere like san francisco or the peninsula, and you don't have an ev at home, then your pg and e bill might actually go up as a result of this change. we're waiting to hear more from the cpuc. they'll they're expected to vote on that plan a little later this morning. reporting live this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news okay james thank you. >> time now 504 and east bay postal worker says she still afraid to go back to work after she was robbed at gunpoint. it happened monday afternoon in dublin. two men robbed her while she was dropping off mail outside of a home. now, surveillance video here caught the robbery as it happened. the suspects came up on her by

surprise, pulled out a gun and demanded that she give up her keys and her cell phone. she did it fearing the worst. >> i thought he was going to shoot me when he was done, but i thought, well, i'm thinking of my mind. just stay calm, stay calm, stay calm. that's the best thing to do, to stay calm. >> now, the victim is one of at least six mail carriers who were robbed here in the bay area in the past month. she was not hurt , but says she is seeing a psychiatrist now to help her deal with anxiety. in an effort to go back to work, the police are asking anyone in the community to provide any information to help capture the two thieves. >> a man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to a deadly shooting in oakland on sunday, 43 year-old justin jenkins is charged in the death of 61 year old michael seymour, who police say was in his car at 12th street in lake merritt boulevard when he was shot. jenkins was arrested monday, and police say they found a loaded gun. district attorney pamela price

process for asylum claims, which would make it faster for the government to remove any migrants who are not eligible to stay in the country due to criminal records or national security risks. it would allow immigration officials to block asylum claims within days or even hours, instead of years. >> our time now 506 policies at sacramento state university are being changed after pro-palestinian protesters rallied for more than a week, demanding that the university divest from israel. i believe that we will win now. the demonstrators celebrated the university's decision to change its socially responsible investment, which does not specifically mention israel. but it does say the university's investment portfolios must stay away from corporations that profit from genocide. ethnic cleansing and activities that violate human rights for socially responsible investments shouldn't be specific just to one injustice.

>> this is one of the most notable and horrific injustices happening right now that state's administration did everything right. >> this is what they should have done now. >> the protesters started camping out on april 29th at the library's quad, a midnight deadline was set by the university for the protesters to leave the encampment. when they were asked if they would leave, yes, today, the protesters said, no comment. well student protesters on other campuses are closely watching the decisions made at sacramento state. protesters at san francisco state say they're encouraged by that agreement, and they plan to continue rallying at the encampment on their campus until their demands are met. all students across our campuses stand in solidarity together when we say united front, we mean every student in california. >> we mean every student through the csu. when we look at sac state, we see the accomplishments that they have made. and as you've heard here, we look at our own admin and we say, why aren't you doing this? and why aren't you standing up

day of the workweek that's still to come. and that forecast is right around the corner. but right now, checking on your morning commute. sal castaneda is at heating up out there, so to speak. >> yeah, there are a couple of things out there we have to talk about. first of all, roberta, let's go to the peninsula and southbound 101 coming out toward grand avenue. there is a crash there and traffic is going to be slow. now, it was a stalled vehicle, but then it turned into a crash and just removed the icon to make it a little easier to see. 238 across the bay. 238 northbound. as you get to 880, there's a truck accident. it's been there for a while and traffic is backing up into castro valley. don't be surprised by this, especially if you come in through castro valley. this might actually start beginning to affect 580 big rigs are allowed on 580 temporarily because they want truck traffic to continue. so you might see a big rig on 580 there this morning. might be a little bit weird, but that's

allowed temporarily. and at the bay bridge toll plaza via our aa traffic camera, things are still light. 532 let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal bart's board of directors will meet today. one of the things they're expected to talk about, a possible ballot measure that could give the transit agency a financial lifeline. ktvu is ali rasmus joins us now with the details. ali >> well, bart and other transit officials say while the number of riders coming to bart, especially during the week, has grown since the pandemic, it is nowhere near what it was during the week before the pandemic. and they made they acknowledged, it may never reach those ridership levels again. the bay area, as we know, has a large number of people who continue to work from home, and commuting patterns just aren't what they used to be a 4 to 5 years ago. now, because of that, bart like many other transit agencies, is facing a financial crisis after next year when state and federal emergency funds run out. bart is looking at a $35 million deficit starting in 2026, and the agency

says if it wanted to cut its way out of that budget hole, it would have to cut service by 60 to 85. now at its meeting today, bart's board of directors will talk about a possible ballot measure that they say is really their only hope. senate bill 1031 and the california senate would allow regional transportation officials to raise money for bart and other transit agencies through some type of tax. the bill doesn't specify what type of tax just yet. tax increase, but they would also have to start finding ways to console state. the 27 different transportation agencies and transit agencies that operate throughout all the counties here in the bay area. this bill says that merging those transit agencies like bart, muni, ac transit is really their best bet at helping those transit systems survive long term. now, at the meeting today, bart's board of directors not expected to make any decisions. they're just going to be talking and discussing the efforts to get this bill passed and get this ballot measure on the

ballot, possibly as early as 2026. live in walnut creek. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. all right. >> thank you ali. tesla has laid off about 10% of its workers and now eliminating thousands of job postings. more than 14,000 tesla employees have been laid off since april. we spoke with a former tesla employee who recently lost his job. he was part of the team that built the evs at the tesla factory in fremont. and he says now he's planning to sell his house. and once again live in the back of his car. >> i was on my way to work, and then i got a personal email about, my position had been eliminated. i got my badge, i went to the turnstile, and then, then it didn't work and it turned red, started beeping, and i was like, is this real? >> some industry analysts blame tesla's problems on the popularity of hybrids. competition from china, concerns over battery replacement costs,

and the lack of ev chargers across much of the country. >> our time is now. 535 president biden says he will not give weapons to israel that could be used to launch an attack on rafah in southern gaza, president biden, in an interview with cnn, says the us is still committed to israel's defense and will supply defensive weapons, but the us has already delayed the shipment of large bombs to israel, suggesting their use could cause many civilian casualties if they go into rafah. >> they haven't gone in rafah yet. if they go into rafah, i'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem. >> meantime, the un world health organization says it is only three days of fuel for its medical operations in southern gaza, and the shortages have already forced one of three hospitals in rafah to close. the rafah border crossing with egypt has been closed since israel's

military took control of the palestinian side earlier this week, blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid. >> a civil rights complaint has been filed against the berkeley unified school district, urging an investigation into reports of discrimination against palestinian and arab students. >> enough is enough. seven months of families complaining that as they grieve the genocide in gaza, they also feel unsafe in their schools. is intolerable. >> the san francisco office of the council on american islamic relations and the arab anti-discrimination committee have filed a federal civil rights complaint with the department of education. now, the complaint alleges several incidents of harassment and hate speech directed at palestinian and arab students in the berkeley unified school district. >> well rally was held in berkeley showing support for the school district superintendent, who testified in front of congress about reports of anti-semitism at schools in the

district. >> i thought she did an incredible job defending our district and the values we stand for now. >> parents and community members at the rally say that overall, berkeley is an inclusive community superintendent and nikki ford, nortel, who testified in front of a congressional committee saying that while there have been instances of anti-semitism on campus, it's not widespread and the school district has taken action to address these situations. >> there is, of course, anti-semitism in this country, including in berkeley, i'm sure. and there's also an anti-muslim racism and other kinds of hatred . >> many people at the rally carried signs calling for solidarity between jews and palestinians. it's something they say they want to model for other communities. so all children can feel safe. >> well, california wine sales are down and that is raising concerns in the wine industry. sales were down nearly 9% last year, and analysts say the

industry is dealing with for problems. too many wineries, too many vineyards, too many grapes, and way too much wine on the market. another big challenge is that many members of the younger generations are choosing other spirits over wine in the wine industry. >> right this second, there's about two thirds that are doing you know, less than less than zero growth in sales. and then there are about a third that are doing a little bit better. >> now, analysts say these challenges are also forcing the wine industry to evolve and figure out ways to appeal to a newer audience. some are turning to artificial intelligence to try to market to new, younger customers. >> we need you to hydrate today. >> yes, because it's going to be so much warmer today. drink plenty of fluids in the form of water, and just make sure that you wear light clothing. and please be very mindful of the kids today. and i know it says it just seems so simplistic, but the bottom line is we are going

from temperatures in the 40s and 50s on saturday to near 90 degrees today, so that's a big jump in our temperatures. you see that the sun is coming up. official sunrise is at 604. temperatures 46 degrees in half moon bay to 68 in santa rosa. these numbers have not changed much in the past 60 minutes. but boy, when we started off this morning, it was 71 degrees in oakland. now the winds are pretty calm for the most part, but i've been noticing they have been increasing to the north of the golden gate bridge. napa now with the wind gusts at 2625 in santa rosa, these winds will not be as windy as they were yesterday, but nonetheless out of the north, 10 to 20. that's contributing to a bit of an offshore push. still with clarity over the coast right now. that's because a huge dome of high pressure is nudging into the bay area. but later on tonight, we notice right now that we have the clear skies through the afternoon hours. but later on tonight, we notice the influx of the cloud cover along the coast side. that's from that bank of marine layer that ushers up in a northerly direction.

that will cool us down for friday and over the weekend along the coast, but otherwise we stay toasty well above average in our inland areas. santa rosa typically this time of the year 73, but instead 89 degrees today. meanwhile, san francisco, though spiking at 81, alameda at 84. look at the difference in these temperatures up to 15 degrees warmer than where we should be for this ninth day of the month. again, a repeat performance there, just in case you missed it the first time around. now, meanwhile, go ahead and take a look at your neighborhood forecast. we're talking 85 degrees and burlingame, belmont, san mateo, redwood shores, 87 degrees across san jose, back into the rose garden districts, a pair of eight and concord, and also clayton. here's your extended forecast. yes, the warming begins to gradually cool by early next week in our inland areas. >> thank you. roberta a new study is tracking violence at schools coming up new in our

the life you save it may be your own. >> now, more than 2000 citations have been issued near malibu so far this year. the highway patrol says 9% of them have been for speeding. >> disney and warner brothers discovery have announced they are teaming up to create a streaming bundle. now, subscribers will have access to broadcast networks including abc, fox and traditional cable networks including tnt, cnn and the food network. the companies have yet to announce how much the service will cost, but there will be packages with and without advertisements. speaking of advertisements, amazon prime video subscribers are about to get more ads. amazon rolling out an interactive ad that will be visible when shows are paused. there will also be shoppable ads that will play during regularly scheduled commercial breaks. this comes as media companies begin to lean more heavily on advertisements to make their streaming units profitable, while other streaming services

little kids are like, i'm five and a half, not just five, but after a certain age, i'm not like speeding it up, right? >> you know, sometimes at birthday parties they go, are you one, are you two, are you three? yeah. it gets a little tiresome when you get to 52. ooh, yeah, i know. stop, stop before that. >> yeah. >> good morning everyone, let's go out and take a look at the commute. now at the bay bridge. i want to go for triple a traffic camera. it's backed up to the middle of the parking lot area, so that's about a five minute delay before you make it onto the bridge. but things are definitely beginning to get a little bit more crowded here at the toll plaza. also, if you are driving a little bit on the peninsula, we had an earlier problem that has cleared, which is nice southbound 101. in south city we had a crash grand avenue that's gone, and i just want to let you know the peninsula traffic has improved rather quickly. you know what hasn't improved is that crash on 238 involving a big rig. it's been there since 3:00 ish, and now

we're getting closer to 6:00. so they're obviously having a big trouble getting it out of there. big rigs are temporarily allowed on 580. remember, big rigs are not normally allowed on 580 this morning. they are. so if you get on 580 this morning and you see a big truck, well now you know why. 551 let's bring roberta back and talk about today's weather. >> just stellar. do you have any golfing plans, you know what? i don't. i have i have a couple of mother's day plans, though. >> oh, that's nice. i just wanted to share with you that i went golfing three times. three times? >> oh, my goodness. you're you're handicap. must be getting real low. >> no, my right arm is my handicap. okay. morning, everybody. rise and shine. live weather camera looking out from the bay all the way inland towards mount diablo. good. 40 miles and we can see the very tip top. at 3800ft. visibility is unlimited, not a cloud in the

door this morning, 50s and 60s are common, except for along the immediate sea shore. the warming trend kicks off today. peaks tomorrow, and the warmest temperatures are going to be experienced in the next 24 to 48 hours. live weather camera looking out towards a glorious mount diablo. not a cloud in the sky. current air temperatures stand at 66 in santa rosa and that's the coolest. it's been all morning. it's 50 and campbell otherwise high 50s and low 60s temperatures are a good 25 degrees warmer than yesterday at this hour when you were heading on out the door and later today. wow, 73 at the beaches. let's head there to moss beach or montara beach, 87 degrees and livermore. how about 86? in napa and in redwood city we have your full forecast. that's still coming up in a matter of minutes. but right now. hey, sal castaneda, steve paulson has a much deserved day off today. but he gave me one tip. what's that? poke the bear,

he told me, make sure i poke you once in a while. >> oh, okay. yeah, yeah, yeah, because i was asleep here just a little while ago. but thanks for poking me awake. yeah thank you very much, roberta. hey, i have something for you. roberta. i got an icon you might want to see. look at that big rig icon. boy, i'm telling you, i love my icons. let me get rid of it, though. there's a big rig crash west bound, 580. i'm sorry. westbound 238 or northbound 238 off of westbound 580. so it's been there for a while, and it's been there for so long that chp is now allowing big rigs to officially use 580. normally they are not allowed on 580. but this morning, because of that issue, the big rigs will be allowed on 580 and you might see a truck on 580 this morning that you're not used to seeing. and that's because of that crash on 238. and i would suggest using 580 instead of trying to make the connection with 880 via 238. let's go to our triple a traffic camera. and the bay bridge only backed up to about the end of

that parking lot. so you might want to get out there before it gets too slow. 602 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you sal. well, today a vote could change the way your electricity bill comes in, the value of that state regulators want to make it cheaper for lower income customers who need a lot of power. >> ktvu james torres is in san mateo now to tell us about this proposal. the state public utilities commission is taking up. good morning. james. >> dave, pam, good morning. well, the way you pay for your energy bill now, it's pretty straightforward. the more you use, the more you pay. and it's likely that you're paying a lot. well, the new proposal offers some very modest savings, and that's only if you're a big energy user enrolled in a low income program. that's the proposal that's going to be taken up and talked about by the california public utilities commission. it's part of a law passed two years ago that would require investor owned companies, companies like pg and e to change how it charges you

for your monthly bill. if regulators vote to take on the new proposal, that means your bill would be broken up into two parts. the plan would add a flat rate to your bill that would cost most people about $24, and low income customers about 6 or $12. revenue from that would be used to maintain the power grid. then you would have your usage rate. that's how your bill is calculated now. but to offset the cost of that flat rate, usage rates would drop about 5 to $0.07 per kilowatt hour on average, pg and e would not be getting any extra revenue. so the question is who would benefit most, especially for people who live in really hot areas of the state who need to keep that air conditioning cranked, and customers who have electrified their homes, including charging evs for the average customer. this new plan could save about $30 a month, but that savings won't really apply to everyone if you're not enrolled in one of those low income programs or live somewhere in san francisco or in the peninsula, where you likely aren't constantly running the

ac, you likely might even see your bill go up by as much as about $9 a month. as a result of this change, the cpuc will talk about this proposal. they'll do a final vote on it later this morning. reporting live this morning i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news. >> all right. thank you james. and east bay postal worker says she is still afraid to go back to work after she was robbed at gunpoint. it happened monday afternoon in dublin. and take a look at this video. two men robbed her while she was dropping off mail outside a home surveillance video caught the robbery as it happened. when the suspects came up to her, they pulled out a gun and demanded that she give up her postal keys and her cell phone. she did it fearing the worst. >> i thought he was going to shoot me when he was done, but i thought, well, i'm thinking in my mind, just stay calm, stay calm, stay calm. that's the best thing to do is stay calm. >> the victim is one of at least six mail carriers who were robbed here in the bay area in

the last month. she wasn't injured, but she does say seeing a psychic. she is seeing a psychiatrist to help her manage her anxiety and to try to return to work. police are asking the community to please help them gather information to try to capture those two thieves. >> our time now. 605 president biden coming here to the bay area this evening. tomorrow, he'll be attending two campaign fundraising events. one of them, we've learned, will be in portola valley at the home of the co-founder of sun microsystems. then the president will fly to seattle for campaign events this weekend. and today, first lady jill biden, on a separate visit, will also be here in the bay area. she'll be in kentfield attending a political finance event. then tomorrow, the first lady is scheduled to fly to southern california for. time now. 606 policies at sacramento state university are being changed after pro-palestinian protesters rallied for more than a week, demanding that the university

divest from israel. i believe we will win. now the demonstrators celebrated the university's decision to change its socially responsible investment, which does not specifically mention israel. but it does say that the university's investment portfolios must stay away from corporations that profit from genocide and ethnic cleansing, and activities that violate human rights. the protesters started camping out on april 29th at the library's quad, a midnight deadline was set by the university for the protesters to leave the encampment. now, student protesters on other campuses are closely watching the decisions made at sacramento state. protesters at san francisco state say they're encouraged by the agreement they plan to continue rallying on their campus until their demands are met. >> all students across our campuses stand in solidarity together. when we say united

front, we mean every student in california. we mean every student through the csu. when we look at sac state, we see the accomplishments that they have made. and as you've heard here, we look at our own admin and we say, why aren't you doing this? and why aren't you standing up for us now? >> now, the students say san francisco state has $160 million in its general endowment. they're calling on the university president to commit to divesting from companies that do business with israel. nearly a dozen students and teachers at a san jose middle school are recovering following an accidental exposure to carbon dioxide. >> we were just, like, working and stuff and then some people started coughing a lot, like really coughing. and then the teacher came and saw what was like trying to see what was happening. and then she started coughing. >> it happened yesterday morning at sunrise, middle school. firefighters responded after reports that eight students and two teachers were having difficulty breathing and itchy eyes and nausea. san jose firefighters say students were

scheduled to work on a volcano project with baking powder and vinegar. in an email, school officials said vapors from chemicals in a locked closet may have leaked out, possibly through the hvac system reaction of vinegar and baking soda. >> the to the production of carbon dioxide. you could probably, you know, breathe in some carbon dioxide that can displace the oxygen that your body needs. >> two students went to the hospital as a precaution, but they are back home this morning with their families. >> our time now. 608a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge opens this saturday at the interstate 80 gilman interchange in berkeley. take a look at this video. it's a simulation of what that bridge will be like. you can walk onto it from the east side on the east shore highway, or from the west side at the tom bates regional sports complex. caltrans says construction is not finished on a staircase that

will connect to the pedestrian bridge. now, the crews are also building a double roundabout in that area. this saturday, a temporary roundabout will be placed on gilman street. the final plan is to build two permanent roundabouts on either side of the interstate 80 freeway, to help with traffic jams in that area. these structures are due to be completed before the end of the year. >> all right, let's head back over to sal for our morning commute. how's it look out there, sal? >> well, pam and dave, we've been talking about that issue we've had now going on three hours on 238 northbound near east 14th. it's a big rig involved here, and it's been there for a while. the traffic is getting slower and slower, pretty soon castro valley will be affected. if you want to use an alternate route, you can use 580 instead. that's what i would do. you will see big rigs on 580 this morning as chp has lifted restrictions on big rigs using 580. so you may see that it may be a little bit unusual to see

big rigs on 580. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see that's getting a little bit slower. if you're driving into san francisco, you will see some slow traffic there. it's not unusual though. right now we do see traffic that is going to be okay. once on the bridge peninsula has improved. we had an earlier crash in south city that's been cleared. traffic on the peninsula looks good in both directions. as a matter of fact, it looks good all the way down into palo alto and into that silicon valley. so that side of the bay still has a lot of room for you to work with. 610 let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal despite parent outcry, district officials in santa rosa have dropped a bilingual liaison position. the next steps for spanish speaking families who say the decision will have a very big impact on their kids education, and a question. >> our bay area wineries in trouble. some say they are. we'll tell you about the challenges facing the wine industry as sales continue to go wn

seattle will be 75 degrees. with the abundance of sunshine. how about that? well above average, good looking seasonal day in los angeles on friday. and even though there's thunderstorms in the forecast for hawaii, no problem. as far as your air travel is concerned, at 79

degrees. all right. thank you. roberta. >> i'd like to be heading to honolulu. >> yeah. >> or the or the wine country. we're talking about wine. california. known to grow some of the best wine grapes in the world. but the wine industry is slowing down a bit. >> that's surprising. ktvu is andre senior in the studio now to explain what that drop in sales means for both the wine growers and their employees. >> yeah. pretty surprising. such a big part of the economy here in the region. well, right now we can tell you that there's been a nearly 9% drop last year, and that drop is having a big impact on more than 400,000 california jobs in the wine industry, which is facing difficult trends following the pandemic. experts say the industry is dealing with a quadruple whammy, too many wineries, too many vineyards, too many grapes and way too much wine on the market, analysts say. people also bought more wine during the beginning of the pandemic, and still might be working their way through bottles in their cabinet. the owner of nicholson ranch winery in sonoma believes that the wine industry's covid recovery is slow because people are spending

their money on trips they missed out on during the pandemic. instead of buying expensive goods they can enjoy at home or at a restaurant. >> and this business is like 6 or 7 years of up years, boom years and two three down years. and i see this kind of in that same two three down year, another big challenge here. >> younger generations are choosing other spirits over wine, including hard seltzer, canned cocktails and hard ciders in the wine industry. >> right this second, there's about two thirds that are doing, you know, less than less than zero growth in sales. and then there are about a third that are doing a little bit better. >> experts say these challenges are forcing the wine industry to evolve and figure out ways to appeal to a new audience. some are turning to artificial intelligence to try and market to new, younger customers who insist wineries be eco friendly and sustainable. other ideas wineries are looking at to reach younger customers include easy to use apps for faster, easier

checkouts at wineries and personalizing the customer experience at all times. pam. >> all right. thank you andre. well, some spanish speaking parents in the north bay say they are frustrated by a decision to eliminate a position they say helps them communicate. estamos de la lucha and estamos. now we talked about this story this week here on mornings on two. yesterday the oak grove union school board voted to eliminate the district's only bilingual liaison. parents say without that position, they will have a harder time being involved in their child's education. as a person who doesn't speak and a lot of english, this administration is not generating an environment of inclusion or equity, where families, latina families feel and are welcome. >> 30% of students in the oak grove union school district are hispanic. the district says it's

discussing possible changes for next year. >> our time now. 617 teachers in brentwood are fighting to get higher pay. when do we work? >> when do we want it? now last night they rallied at the school board meeting. >> the teachers say they need a higher salary to be able to afford to live in the community where they teach, negotiate. plans have stalled with the school district, according to teachers, after they received an offer that had no pay raise. but they still hope the school board will help them get a pay raise. >> we're hoping we're hoping that this is going to make a difference, because we know that our board is really responsive and does care about us, and so we're hoping when they see the impact of it that we'll get some movement and we'll be able to close things out. >> now, the school superintendent told the brentwood press the district is in a difficult place financially because of rising expenses and a drop in enrollment. >> all right. we have a developing story. we're now

following for you out of oakland, where more than 5000 customers are out of power right now. take a look at the map. the power went out just before 6:00 this morning. this is in an area near lake merritt. pg and e crews are headed to the area to try to determine the problem. the utility says power likely will not be restored before noon today. >> time now is 618, and we do have a look at traffic that is going to be affected by a big problem in the east bay, and that is on 238 headed north away from 580. it's been there since about 3:00 in the morning. the complication is a big rig is involved and they have trouble getting it out of there. so people are using 580. you might see more traffic on 580 eventually crowding it up. right now it's a good alternate route. but as the morning wears on, if they don't clear this up, it's going to be an issue already is an issue, frankly, for people coming out of castro valley, where there's a bigger than

normal backup coming through there, i just want to let you know. also, the bay bridge is backed up almost to the maze. that's typical. traffic is okay there on the peninsula. we've seen some pretty good conditions all the way from san jose, all the way up into the san francisco area. the only other spot that we have, some slowing this morning right now. well, okay, two spots, highway four westbound and also 580 at the altamont pass. those are typical slowdowns for this time of the morning at 619. what is the weather going to be like? here's roberta to tell us. >> it's going to be warmer than yesterday, sal. substantially warmer. in fact, today and tomorrow the temperatures will peak here in the bay area. we're forecasting 75 degrees at the coast today for the coolest location and up to 90 degrees well inland. we're talking about out towards travis and fairfield mountain house as well, 10 to 15 degrees above average. now, right now the sun has come up. sunup was at 604, clear and a

mild start to your day. it's going to pad out to be warmer, albeit breezy. and again, the temperatures will peak over the next couple of days before cooling along the coast and gradual cooling in our inland areas. now, by the time the sun does set tonight, we will realize warmer than yesterday. and right now it is 66, in novato and santa rosa, 55 in san jose. winds are under ten miles per hour for the most part, except north of the golden gate bridge, where these winds have been ramping up to 20 mile per hour gusts. 29 now at fairfield, the wind advisory still in place until 8:00 this morning for the interior valleys of our north bay mountains. now, meanwhile, if you do suffer from allergies, you can blame it on the grasses, the oak and the mulberry tree. count on the medium to high side. speaking of high, high pressure right there right now continues to nudge in towards the western states. temperatures well above average, and it will continue to do so at least until early next week in our inland

areas. outside number today, 89 degrees in santa rosa, also in fairfield, 85 in fremont, 86 degrees redwood city and redwood shores. again numbers warmer today than yesterday, but they peak on friday. still very warm inland on saturday. but you notice the coast side is cooling down beginning with tomorrow through monday. >> thank you roberta. renters in pittsburg are moving ahead in their fight for rent stabilization. we'll tell you why they expect to get a rent control proposal on the november ballot. and a young hockey player with bay area roots may be headed to the shark tank. we're going to hear from his dad, who has been a on ime

a rent protection initiative on the november ballot. the measure includes rent control, just cause for eviction protections and anti tenant harassment protections. they rallied at city hall to turn in more than 4000 signatures. elections officials have 30 days to verify those signatures to see if there's enough to get on the ballot. now. just two weeks ago, san pablo residents submitted a petition to get a similar proposal on the ballot in that city, and people in san anselmo also launching efforts to put rent control on the ballot. if

that initiative gathers enough signatures, city officials will have three options repeal the law, hold a special meeting to resolve the issue, or submit to voters for approval. in november, the town council signed off on a plan last month that would limit rent increases to 5, or 60% of the consumer price index. tickets are going on sale today for bfc's appearance in a special summer cup. the competition is between clubs from the american and mexican professional women's soccer leagues. bfc will host two matches in late july and early august. today's tickets are up for pre-sale sales to the general public. start tuesday, and the sharks will have the first pick in the nhl draft for the first time in franchise history, and we are hearing from the family of the expected first pick, who also has bay area ties, hockey insiders say the best player in the draft is macklin celebrini, a star at boston university. the 17 year old is the son of a former major

league soccer player who already has a bay area sports connection . his father, rick celebrini, is the golden state warriors director of sports medicine and performance, so to have him in our own backyard, so to speak, and to, you know, mom, to bring him a meal every once in a while and do his laundry would be would be a lot of fun. >> like many sharks fans, i'm crossing my fingers and hoping that we will be able to welcome back macklin celebrini. san jose sharks junior alum. >> the nhl draft will be held in las vegas on june 28th and 29th. we want it. tensions still high at one contra costa school district. the vote by the school board over the fate of antioch unified superintendent amid allegations that she ignored claims of bullying in the workplace. and a new study is tracking violence at schools in alameda county. we'll tell you what the new reports eveaso

matters. the superintendent of the berkeley unified school district has testified before congress. the reaction to that, as she defended her school district over claims of hostility towards jewish people on the campus, plus. a warning from bart officials that bart is at a breaking point. we have the latest on ridership numbers and the budget cuts that may be

needed if voters don't approve a new tax to support bart. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two. taking you live to the opening bell this morning. >> more companies are issuing a cautious look at the year ahead in their quarterly earnings reports this morning. the warning comes from planet fitness and airbnb. people are cutting back on spending on roblox as well. the video gaming company stocks set to drop 27. by the way. some children there ringing the bell. that's the children's tumor foundation talking about awareness and research, helping those kids. so thank you for joining us here on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> welcome to thursday which is friday eve. yes it is. this is may the 9th. quick question. how are your allergies. >> yeah they've been terrible. i mean without all of my stuff that i do i my, my makeup would be running down my face. roberta. >> so absolutely, i don't know one person who doesn't suffer

from allergies, do you. >> i normally don't even think people who normally don't. >> they. they're getting allergies. and those of us who have allergies are worse. for me, it's the itchy eyes right now. >> but i've been hearing a lot of people coughing and it's a dry cough. and today the allergies will soar again. today it'll be due to the oak and the mulberry tree count. and the wind will usher that around. but that wind is causing clear skies right now. and we are revealing temperatures anywhere from 46.5 moon bay to 66 degrees in santa rosa. yes, very mild at this hour. in fact, we're up to 27 degrees warmer at this hour than what we were at this time yesterday. 12 degrees more mild in hayward. now, your weather headlines today with our temperatures well above normal, i know you're going to say, hey, roberta, it's too early to jump up and down about this, but we must. we went from temperatures, our highs in the 40s and 50s on

saturday to near 90 today. that's a big whiplash for your body, so please stay hydrated, drink plenty of fluids. today's numbers going up to near 90 away from the bay into our inland areas. 70s at the beaches and 80s. pretty common around the central bay. we will feature your five day forecast and tell you how long this warming trend will last. but right now sal castaneda in the house and do we still have those big semis going on? i think you said 580. >> yes, we do. and that's because, roberta, thanks for asking. that's because of a crash at a really crucial spot. 238 now finally, that crash has been removed. it was there for 3.5 hours, and they just got rid of it. but the damage is done. we have a lot of slow traffic now. one of the things that you might begin to see is they might put that restriction on trucks using 580. for now, trucks are allowed to use 580 until this completely clears up and that restriction will probably be back in effect soon. the good news is the truck has been

cleared. finally, after hours of being there, let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. you will see the traffic is backed up all the way out to the maze. metering lights are on the peninsula. traffic is looking good, so peninsula and silicon valley commutes. you still have plenty of room to work with there. 633 let's get back to you. the headlines. >> thank you sal. bart is facing budget challenges and says its best long term hope is a possible ballot measure that voters could decide in 2026. now bart's board of directors, they're scheduled to discuss that option at their meeting today. ktvu sally rasmus joining us now with those details, ali. >> well, we're live at the walnut creek bart station in 630 on a thursday morning. we have seen some people coming into the station taking the escalator up to the platform to take a train to work or wherever they're going this morning. but you don't see the volume of people pouring into the station that we would have seen here several years ago by bart's own admission, it says its weekday

ridership is not at the level it was before the pandemic. it's only about 40% of what it was roughly before the pandemic. the bay area, as we know, has a very large number of people who continue to work from home and simply don't need to go into the office every day anymore because of that. bart, like many other transit agencies, is facing some serious financial challenges. bart is predicting a $35 million budget deficit starting in 2026. and when federal and state emergency funding runs out and the agency says if it tried to cut its way out of that budget hole, it would end up having to cut bart service by 60 to 85. that would make it make it dysfunctional as a transit system. at its meeting today, bart's board of directors will talk about a possible ballot measure that they say is really their best hope. senate bill 1031 would allow regional transportation officials to raise money for bart and other transit agencies through some type of tax increase, and bart would end up getting additional funding if that measure passed. but as part of the deal,

regional transportation officials would also have to start looking at ways to consolidate the 27 different transit agencies that operate throughout the nine counties in the bay area. the bill says that merging those transit agencies into one would make it better for those agencies to survive long term, given the changes we've seen in commuting patterns and work from home patterns. now, bart's board of directors is expected to talk about this possible ballot measure at its meeting today. they're not going to be making any decisions on it, but they're expected to get an update on the efforts to get this measure on the ballot, possibly as early as the year 2026. live in walnut creek. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you ali. well, last night the antioch unified school district school board voted to keep its superintendent despite claims that she has ignored bullying by a board member. >> somebody i'm begging you. somebody help us. these people need to be gone. thank you. yes

you are. >> many people at the board meeting expressed frustration with the school board's vote to allow superintendent stephanie anello to stay. some school staff say anello did not take steps to discipline a supervisor, who they accuse of verbal abuse, and for creating a hostile work environment. one board member said it's up to human resources to investigate the situation and then inform the board. >> we should be patient and allow the process to work and plan to complete an evaluation of the superintendent, which is our responsibility as a board in closed session and not in public . >> the complaints against maintenance and operations director ken turnage include an incident where he directed workers to move an employee's desk to a rooftop. turnage was eventually put on administrative leave after media reports on the incident. in a statement before

the board meeting, the school district told ktvu, quote, to ensure transparency and accountability within our district, two separate investigations have been initiated to look into concerns raised publicly by an individual board member. the first investigation will review the overall situation. the second investigation will specifically address the two recent complaints that have been filed against an employee within the district. >> our time now. 637 a civil rights complaint has now been filed against the berkeley unified school district, urging an investigation into reports of discrimination against palestinian and arab students. >> enough is enough. seven months of families complaining that as they grieve the genocide in gaza, they also feel unsafe in their schools. is intolerable. >> now, the san francisco office of the council on american islamic relations and the arab anti discrimination committee filed a federal civil rights complaint with the department of education. it alleges several

incidents of harassment and hate speech directed at palestinian and arab students in the berkeley unified school district , and a rally was held in berkeley showing support for the school district superintendent, who testified before congress about reports of anti-semitism at schools in the district. >> i thought she did an incredible job defending our district and the values we stand for. >> parents and community members at a rally say that overall, berkeley is an inclusive community. the superintendent and nikki ford mortal a testify before a congressional committee and said that while there have been instances of anti-semitism on the campus, it's not widespread, and the school district has taken action to address these situations. >> it's, of course, anti-semitism in this country, including in berkeley, i'm sure. and there's also an anti-muslim racism and other kinds of hatred . >> now, many people at the rally carried signs calling for jewish

and palestinian solidarity. it's something they say they want to model for other communities. so children can feel safe. >> oakland city leaders and school district officials are optimistic about new efforts to keep students safe. four years ago, the oakland unified school district disbanded its school police department and replaced it with de-escalation teams at seven schools. now, police are only used as a last resort on campus. after the change, the school district reports a 10% reduction in suspensions or for physical violence. supporters say the approach to campus safety gets the community more involved. what we are doing is oakland unified school district. >> when we're reimagining what safety looks like as a community effort, our ultimate goal is not to have a need for law enforcement on our campuses. there's other city and community partnerships that we can use, especially around the mental health areas and aspects where we don't always have to initiate law enforcement first. and so how are we better utilizing

those things? >> the early success has some calling for the program to be expanded into all oakland schools, including middle schools. we are expecting a comprehensive evaluation of the program from an independent analyst by august. >> time is 640 and we have better news on the east bay commute now for 238, 580 and also interstate 880 drivers. first of all, we had this big crash involving a big rig on 238. once they removed it, the traffic jam went away in about 30 minutes. that's pretty good considering it was on one of the freeways that really gets crowded now things are much better, and even 880 is not looking all that slow so far. i don't want to jinx anything, but things are looking good in the east bay so far. we do have a backup at the bay bridge toll plaza, which is stretching out to the macarthur maze. that's okay. peninsula traffic. if that's you. it looks pretty good there and here. a live look at the macarthur maze. i like what i see here via our aa traffic camera. it looks pretty good

coming up to that big interchange. 641 let's go back to roberta, who's doing the weather today. >> thanks, sally. yes, steve has a much deserved day off today. hopefully he's able to bask in the sunshine. this morning's temperatures have been banking between 48 and 68 degrees, but by later this afternoon, 74 to 89 degrees. it's live. it's our weather camera looking out towards our beautiful bay waters, where the water temperatures at 54 degrees, but onshore it is 64. in oakland, in san francisco it is also 54 degrees. otherwise. mid-fifties and san jose. the winds are slight, except north of the golden gate bridge, ten to about 20 mile per hour winds. an occasional stronger gusts that wind advisory for the north bay interior valleys has been posted until 8 a.m. wind has been assuring the pollen around will not be as windy today as

yesterday, but nonetheless, it's the oak and the mulberry tree count that is on the medium to high side. grass is coming into play as well, so if you're sneezing and wheezing, those are the culprits. high pressure right here we see this clear slot. it's diverting the storm track well to the north of the bay area. the only thing that we are watching very mindfully here is the fog bank. it's trying to inch its way up from monterey bay. there you have it. by 7:00 tonight. and this will cool down the coast ever so gently on friday, with additional meltdown over the weekend. so let's go ahead and indicate and show you this right here, right now. our inland area is not affected by the fog bank. in fact, yesterday we had temperatures into the mid 80s san francisco however, will be affected 81 degrees today. but with the light fog 75 on friday, concord will top off warmer today than yesterday and additional warming takes place on friday. we'll talk about your neighborhood forecast. that's still straight ahead. gang >> it was kind of hurtful because i don't know. you've

been there for so long. >> we're hearing now from a former tesla employee about how much he loves his car and his job. but what's next? now that he's been laid off along with thousands of his coworkers? all right, first, let's check in with garcia in our newsroom for the other stories we are following for you here on morning sun two. >> good morning. good morning. >> we'll start with google, which reported better than expected first quarter earnings. employees, though still complaining about a morale problem. next at seven, the candid discussion at a company wide all hands meeting then a navy sailor from san rafael killed in the attack on pearl harbor will finally be given military honors 83 years after his death. what finally allowed him to receive the honor so, so much later? stay with us
