>> i'm going to uc davis. >> all right. yes. and where did you find out, i found out, mid march. all right. and i decided yesterday. >> yesterday. the school says that ceremony is aimed to honor the students, their their perseverance and their academic achievements. >> even there a mention of a possible change in pg and e bills makes many people nervous. some who've been watching their bills rise over the years could be in for a little relief. the vote today in sacramento that could make that a reality, and why some critics say it isn't enough. then a hazmat scare at a san jose middle school. what firefighters say is likely the reason ten students and teachers fell ill at the very start of the school day. then, after weeks of debate and a very public cross space civic spat, today is the final vote on renaming oakland international airport. the last ditch offer from san francisco meant to prevent okay from adding san

francisco bay to its name from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian and i'm dave clark. >> welcome to thursday. it's may 9th. welcome to gasia mikaelian. >> welcome to warmer already. it's already warmer for sure. >> noticeable. you see the sunshine that roberta is going to show us now? >> well, when i came into work this morning, the sun was not shining yet. no, and it was 71 degrees in oakland. how about that? i think that deserves a little. >> i think you should. yeah, i give it to you. >> morning, everybody. rise and shine. welcome to your thursday temperatures spent today from 75 at the beaches to 90 degrees away from the bay. that will be in our inland areas for the most part, 89 in santa rosa. but somebody's backyard will hit 90. meanwhile, it is 61 in half moon bay. it has now dropped to 64 in santa rosa. otherwise it is up

to 66. in napa, mid 50s now pretty much around the tri valley and 57 degrees across the santa clara valley. going up to 87 degrees 80s will become and around the central bay, 73 at the beaches 81 san francisco. how about that? well above average. we'll talk about the meltdown, the cool down just in time for the weekend. that forecast is coming up, but right now sal castaneda in the house. what's up? this time around? >> well, you know, we're seeing some more slow traffic in the silicon valley. there roberta, and i'm beginning to see it on the maps here. let's go right to the maps. you can see that northbound 101 traffic and two, 80 and 85 are getting a little bit slower here for that commute. there's been just a little bit of slowing there, but it doesn't seem like it's too unusual. i just want to let you know that that commute is waking up, so to speak. let's go to highway four. we do have some slow traffic there coming in from pittsburgh to bay point.

again, very typical slow traffic and at the bay bridge, we do have a backup that stretches out to the macarthur maze. 702. let's get back to the headlines happening today, a vote that could change your pg and e bill. >> state regulators want to make power less expensive for lower income families. ktvu james torres is live in san mateo now with the details on a proposal taken up by the state public utilities commission. james garcia well, the way your bill is calculated nowadays, the more you use, the more you pay, and you're likely paying a lot for your pg and e bill. >> this new change is meant to help those who are low income customers and frankly, people who use a lot of power and people who have a lot of electricity in their homes. the cpuc trying to offer just a little bit of relief. it's part of a law that was passed about 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 will be broken up into two

parts. first, a flat rate would add to your bill. it's about $24. and then you have that usage rate, which they suggest would drop about 5 to $0.07 per kilowatt hour. that's meant to offset that charge. the flat rate would be even cheaper for customers enrolled in low income programs. they don't have to pay about 6 or $12. all of that meant to be just a little bit of help during those summer months or those peak energy usage times, and could save you about $30 a month. we spoke to one man this morning who rents his home in san jose. he says he is always skeptical. anytime he hears about a cost saving move. >> anytime a company says that something's going to some change is going to make something cheaper. i get immediately wary of that because never in my life have i seen one of those changes actually make something cheaper. >> yeah, and those changes, those savings would depend entirely on where you live. if you're not an area that is super hot, or if you don't have an ev

that you're charging at home and say you live in a place like san francisco or the peninsula, these changes could actually make your bill rise up just a little bit about $9 a month. according to the cpuc sc fact sheet that we've been reading off of this morning, they will be taking up this conversation and making a final vote on it a little later this morning. of course, we'll let you know what happens. for now, we're live this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news okay james thank you. >> time now 704. well after google announced very impressive first quarter earnings, the employees now have a lot of questions for google's leaders. >> at a meeting with the company's ceo and cfo, workers asked why google's strong performance hasn't translated to higher wages for them, they also asked how long cost cutting measures will be in place. the cfo said the majority of layoffs will be done in the first half of this year. leadership did not comment explicitly on pay raises, however, the cfo did say the company revenue should be growing faster than expenses. uber, doordash and other food

delivery companies are fighting back against rules that give drivers a pay raise. in some cities, laws went into effect earlier this year that require the companies to pay their drivers. in seattle and new york city between 20 and $33 an hour. since then, uber eats and doordash added an extra $5 delivery fee. restaurants say that delivery orders are down because of that price increase. >> our time now. 705 president biden coming here to the bay area this evening. tomorrow, he'll be going to two campaign fundraiser events. one of them, we found out, will be in portola valley at the home of the co-founder of sun microsystems. then the president will be flying to seattle for campaign events this weekend. now today, first lady jill biden on a separate visit is also coming to the bay area. she'll be in kentfield to go to a 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. it would speed up the process for asylum claims, which could make it faster for the government to remove any migrants who aren't eligible to stay in the country due to criminal records or national security risks, would allow immigration officials to block asylum claims within days, even hours, instead of years. adult film actress stormy daniels is back on the witness stand in former president donald trump's criminal trial in new york. defense attorneys will question daniels about her testimony in which she said she had a sexual encounter with mr. trump in 2006 that resulted in her being paid to not tell her story. in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign, prosecutors accused the former president of falsifying business records to hide that payment to daniels. >> our time now 707 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. the

demonstrators celebrated the university's decision to change its socially responsible investment, which did not specifically mention israel. but it does say that the university's investment portfolios have to stay away from corporations that profit from genocide and activities that violate human rights. >> 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 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 be leaving, yes, today, the protesters said, no comment. now student protesters on other college campuses are closely watching decisions made at sacramento state. protesters at san francisco state say they're

encouraged by that agreement. they plan to continue their rally on the 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? >> 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. >> nearly a dozen students and teachers at a san jose middle school are recovering following an accidental exposure to carbon dioxide. one student here describes what happened in the classroom. 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 on 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. still unclear what caused it, but san jose firefighters say students were scheduled to work on a volcano project with baking powder and vinegar and ian emails. school officials said that vapors from chemicals in a locked closet may have leaked out, possibly through the hvac system. >> reaction of vinegar and baking soda that 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 and were released to their families. happening today, the port of oakland is expected to finalize a name change to san francisco bay. oakland international airport. san francisco has sued the city, saying the name the city of oakland that is suing say says the city of san

francisco, let's break this down, dave. the city of san francisco sued the port of oakland, which oversees the airport, of course, saying that name would infringe on sfo's trademark. that dates back to 1954. san francisco city attorney david chu said he is urging the port to collaborate on a different name to avoid costly litigation. >> the time is 710. let's talk about the eastshore freeway, shall we? we're going to start there this time around and talk about the time it takes you to drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. 28 minutes and at the bay bridge, it's about a 15 to 20 minute delay. no problems on that san mateo bridge. and things have improved in the east bay after they cleared a crash on 238. you may have heard about it. that's no longer an issue for the morning commute. we look at 24 westbound and that looks pretty good. let me dive back to highway four. here you can see some slow traffic there. that's typical. so we have a lot of the typical slowdowns. we don't have a lot of the big crashes right

now. and hopefully it'll stay that way at 711. let's go back to the desk. okay, sal. >> well, even though ridership has increased, bart is still struggling financially after the pandemic. we'll tell you what's going to be debated today to keep bart up and running. >> california wine sales are slowing. why? the industry is blaming a quadruple whammy. next

if you feel like things don't add up right now... you're not alone. rent is up, and every family outing costs an arm and a leg. well, we want to help. so when prices go up, we find new ways to go low. and now, we've lowered the price on hundreds of your favorite products. designing something beautiful is easy. designing something beautiful with great quality for a low price? that's a different story. it's why we're here. that's a promise. not a promo.

the wine industry overall is slowing down. yeah, it's interesting. >> ktvu is andre senior in the studio now to explain what a drop in sales means for the wine growers. and for their employees. big impact. good morning to you both. >> wine sales are down nearly 9% 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 pandemic, the beginning of the pandemic, and it still might be going through bottles of their in their cabinet right now. the owner of nicholson ranch winery in sonoma county 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 younger customers who insist wineries be eco friendly and sustainable, as well. 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. garcia, andre. >> thank you. now to the north

bay, where sonoma county law enforcement went to the joe rodota trail to clear out dozens of homeless encampments there, the county says the cleanup was needed after the number of homeless people on the trail grew to about 50 over the weekend. the move sparked criticism from those who say the people who were pushed out have nowhere to go. the county says it did offer everyone a bed at a santa rosa homeless shelter. >> all right, our time is 716. we're going to get you to where you need to go. so did you fix everything out there, sal? are you even there? okay you're not there right now. but wait a minute. he's coming back. i can feel sal in the space. there you are, i thank you. >> yeah. you know, you know, if i get up and i. okay let me show you. i'm in the newsroom now. yeah, it's like that. i'm in the newsroom, but you don't see me. pam cooks right over there. but you don't see any of that. >> it's the magic of tv. >> down. i sit down on my spot there. okay. all right, so you know what i do want to start

with the east bay commute. only because it's been rather typical. we even had a huge crash that cleared. and then when the crash cleared, the backup cleared right away, which i love, that normally doesn't happen. so this is highway four. let's take out some of the other commutes here. 680 is getting a little bit slow and 80 getting a little bit slow. however, i see a slightly better commute than we had yesterday. yesterday at this time we were much more crowded and today it's more of a routine commute. i'll take that every day of the week, that's for sure, no major issues. let's talk about the san mateo bridge. that commute looks okay if you are driving over to the peninsula, which has been relatively quiet. so we'll take the small victories and improvement from this time yesterday, for sure. at 718, let's go to roberta for today's weather. >> sally, your future's so bright. i got my sunglasses on. >> there you go. >> right. >> what what what what sunglasses do you prefer? >> you know, anyone's that i can buy on the checkout aisle at

grocery outlet? there you go. >> okay. >> it's true. hi, everybody. good morning to you. don't forget your sunglasses today. and no need for the umbrella. i just took a look at the noaa 8 to 14 day outlook for may 16th to the 22nd central valley looks like above normal precip. we look pretty average any chances of rain looks like about the 25th of this month. and it's only a slight chance today. warm to hot forecast 75 to 89 degrees. yes, this is warmer than yesterday. and look at this very mild start to your day. we're in the 60s along the coast through the bay, into our inland areas. except for livermore at 52 degrees 53 in fremont, 57 degrees at mineta international airport, now sporting a slight breeze out of the south. but the winds will be more consistent today out of the north, 10 to 20, not as gusty as yesterday, even though we're kick starting the morning off with napa with the gusts up to 29, we still

have that wind advisory in place just till 8:00 this morning for the mayacamas mountain range in the north bay. the interior valleys when you see this dry slot right here, that's a good indication that we are under the influence of that huge dome of high pressure, rising air, rising warm air. and it looks like we will continue to see that high pressure nudge into the western coastal states. all the way through friday. but the fog returns along the coast and the temperatures will go down. meanwhile, average high temperature this time of the year for the eighth and the ninth of the month, 75 degrees in santa rosa, oakland at 68, saratoga at 76. and you'll notice these temperatures taking a huge jump today from yesterday , pinpointing the north bay at 89 degrees. and throughout guerneville and sebastopol. cotati and penngrove 89 degrees. santa rosa 73 degrees in pacifica 87. in santa rosa and throughout the tri valley, 84 in oakland. extended forecast

hotter tomorrow, then gradual cool down inland, but the bottom falls out over the weekend with the return of the fog along the seashore. dave >> all right, roberta, thank you. our time now. 720. at least three people have died in places like tennessee from rough weather and all through the southeast, at least three people have been killed. tornadoes and heavy rain hit tennessee, causing lots of damage, like where a tornado hit homes that were under construction. a lot of damage the weather experts expect to see even more scattered storms in that region today, and tomorrow. >> 721 a navy sailor from san rafael killed in the attack on pearl harbor is finally receiving a long overdue honor. how his service is being recognized now and celebrating asian american and pacific islander heritage month. >> how san francisco's chinatown is trying to remember the past while also looking to the future

i'm franklin graham. the world ems to be engulfe with hate. we see it on our college campuses, and we see it across the borders. jesus christ understands hate. the world, at that time, hated him, and they still hate him today, but, you see, he camame on a rescue mission to save us from our sin. he died and d shed his blood on a cross for our sins. he was buried, but god raed him to life. and if we're willing t to put our faith and trust in jesus chris

the latest group of businesses announced by the city of san francisco are taking part in the vacant to vibrant program, filling up empty, empty storefronts in downtown san francisco. now, this summer, eight small, locally owned businesses will open pop up shops inside what used to be vacant storefronts across san francisco, including a coffee

shop, a glass studio and a social club, among many others. now, later today, the city will hold a news conference announcing a $1 million donation from wells fargo supporting these pop up stores that have transitioned to long term leases. will the month of may is asian american pacific islander heritage month and san francisco's chinatown plans all kinds of activities to celebrated. the events include lion dancing ceremonies, health fairs, and a cultural festival, and featuring a parade. organizers say these events are aimed at showing the neighborhood is open for business year round, and not just around the lunar new year. >> this parade will definitely attract a lot of people to come and to understand our culture, to understand the community, so definitely we're hoping this event will bring economic enhancement to a lot of merchants. >> now, this weekend's

festivities starts tomorrow with the return of the night market beginning at 5:30 p.m. >> the long delayed extension of bart to san jose has created another unexpected expense for the santa clara valley transportation authority. last week, the vta board of directors approved the purchase of 48 bart cars at a cost of $172 million. that will eventually travel through downtown san jose to santa clara. the cars are expected to be delivered in 2026. that was when the south bay extension was originally supposed to open. now it won't open until the year 2037. in the meantime, bart will use those cars, while vta pays $4 million every year to cover operating and maintenance costs. a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge is opening this saturday at the interstate 80 gilman interchange in berkeley. we have a simulation of the bridge here. some video people can walk onto the bridge from the east side on the east shore freeway, or from the west side at the tom bates regional sports complex.

caltrans says construction isn't finished yet on a staircase that will connect to the pedestrian bridge. crews are also building a double roundabout in the area. this saturday, a temporary roundabout will be placed on gilman. the final plan is to build two permanent roundabouts on either side of 80. those structures are set to be complete before the end of the year. >> okay, gasia time now. 726 a car dealership in fremont hit by thieves and two porsches were stolen. we'll tell you what the police found in the home of one of the suspects. >> antioch school superintendent accused of turning a blind eye to bullying by emp yees. now,

terrifying attack on a postal worker in the east bay and as you can see, it was caught on camera, which he says about having a gun pointed at her head and the financial crisis facing bart, who bart plans to turn to in order to keep the trains and busses running. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. well good morning. >> thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark and i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it is thursday, may 9th roberta nailed it earlier on mornings on two when she said it's going from warm to hot.

roberta. >> absolutely. with our temperatures, some of the readings the hottest so far this year today. but especially on your friday morning, everybody you know may flowers bring on allergy causes allergies. who doesn't suffer from allergies anymore. and if you find yourself sneezing and wheezing, it's because of the oak and the mulberry tree count. it's on the medium to high side right now. we've got clear skies looking out towards the avenues. isn't that a glorious start to your day? by the time the sun sets tonight. warmer than yesterday. and right now 62, in san francisco, it's ten degrees cooler than that in our inland areas. and livermore, sporting a high today of 87, forecasting low 80s in san francisco, when the average high is 63 degrees mid 80s around the peninsula, mid and high 80s to the north. we will have that full day forecast at full five day forecast. it's coming up right now. but you know he can't forecast the traffic. but he could be spot on. here's sal.

morning sir. good morning roberta. >> and i'm trying to get you even some more accurate time here. about the time it will take you to drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze, or anywhere in between carquinez bridge to the maze. 40 minutes. of course, you can reduce that time if you're getting on downstream average speed about 30 miles an hour. and here at the bay bridge, it is backed up for a 15 to 20 minute delay. no issues. by the way, if you're driving on the san mateo or the dumbarton bridge and when we come back in just a bit, we're going to talk about the silicon valley commute, which is beginning to fill in. 731 let's get back to the headlines. okay. >> thank you. happening today, a meeting of the bart board of directors. and one of the things they're going to talk about, a possible ballot measure to give bart a financial lifeline. marin ktvu. allie rasmus is here now to give us more details on that. good morning. alex >> yeah. good morning. a possible ballot measure that would help not just bart, but other transit agencies in the bay area that have struggled

since the pandemic. 730 on a thursday morning here at the walnut creek bart station, there are people heading up the escalator up to the platform to take a bart train. but bart says that its average weekday ridership is only about 40% of what it was before the pandemic. and because of that, bart, like many other transit agencies, is facing some serious financial challenges, especially with the popularity of work from home options. they don't see those commuting train chain trends changing. rather, any time soon. now, the agency is predicting a $35 million budget deficit starting in 2026. that's when state and federal emergency funding runs out. 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. not a viable option. at its meeting today, bart's board of directors will talk about a possible ballot measure that they say is really their last, best hope. senate bill, 1031, in the california senate, would allow

regional transportation officials in the bay area to ask voters to approve some sort of tax increase, either sales tax, payroll or otherwise. the bill doesn't specify which type of tax increase, but voters would have to approve it. and then that would give bart another transit agency's additional funding to keep them going long term. bart riders we spoke with this morning about it had mixed feelings. >> we definitely do need a bart system. absolutely. it's really important, i just don't know if i want more taxes to go up because of the cost of everything right now. >> probably not. i feel like we pay enough taxes, right? you know, energy costs going up, property taxes are high. good >> bart's important because it's a way to get home. i also think it's nice to keep cars off the road because it's really busy. it's really busy. >> a proposed ballot measure would also direct the regional transportation authority, the mtc, to look at a way 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 like bart, muni, ac transit, and others all together would help them survive long term. now bart's board of directors is meeting today. they're supposed to get an update on the status of senate bill 1031, this bill to possibly merge and consolidate transit agencies and levy some sort of tax increase through a bond measure or through a voter measure, but they're not expected to make any decisions on it today. live in walnut creek. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> allie, thank you. we are getting a very personal account now of how layoffs at tesla are affecting people here in the bay area. the electric car company laid off more than 14,000 workers since april. we spoke with one former tesla employee who recently lost his job. he was part of a team that built evs at the tesla factory in fremont. he says he had no notice he was being laid off. >> 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? >> if some industry experts blame the tesla's trouble is due to the fact that more automakers are entering the ev market, the growing popularity of hybrid vehicles, competition from china, concerns over battery replacement costs, and a lack of chargers across much of the country. >> our time now. 735 police in fremont have made one arrest, but they're still out there searching for a second suspect wanted for stealing two porsches. now, investigators say 22 year old nova moore was one of the people who drove the cars off a showroom floor last month. it happened at a dealership on cushing parkway. police say they arrested moore the very next day while trying to, he would say he was trying to get rid of a loaded handgun, a search of his home, according to police, recovered several rifles, stolen

property, money and a police radio scanner. moore has been booked on several burglary and firearm charges. a postal worker in the east bay says she's 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, and you can see it on this security camera. this surveillance video caught it as this was happening, terrifying the suspects came up behind her, pulled out a gun and demanded that she give up her keys and her cell phone. and 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. >> now, this postal 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 she says she is seeing a psychiatrist to

help her deal with anxiety. and so she can go back to work. now, the police are asking the community to help them collect information to capture those two thieves. >> the antioch unified school board voted to keep its superintendent last night, following claims that she did nothing about a district supervisor who was bullying others. >> is somebody i'm begging you, somebody help us! these people need to be gone. thank you. you are. >> many people at the board meeting said they were frustrated 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 accused of verbal abuse and creating a hostile work environment. one board member said it's up to human resources to investigate 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 included an incident in which 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 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 will specifically address the two recent complaints that have been filed against an employee within the district. >> our time now 738. the oakland police department added the names of two more officers to its wall of fallen officers, the families of officers twan ley and officer jordan wingate placed white roses to honor their memories. during this ceremony, officer twan lay was shot and killed in december while rushing to a break in at a cannabis store. officer jordan

in this country, including in berkeley, i'm sure. and there's also anti-israel, anti-muslim racism and other kinds of hatred. >> now, many who were there at the rally carried signs calling for jewish palestine in solidarity, something that they say they want to model for other communities so children can feel safe here. your time 749 wall street is weighing corporate earnings that are good, but lately some come with a warning. >> pam cook has this and a lot more in today's dollars and cents. >> yeah, a little mixed news coming in with these earnings reports. more companies are reporting numbers that are in line with analysts expectations. but they are also issuing a cautious outlook for the year ahead. this morning, that warning coming from planet fitness and airbnb as the companies project a drop in consumer spending as the opening bell rang this morning, shares in roblox also dropped almost 22% after reports that people are cutting back on spending on the video game platform as well. taking a live look at the numbers, though, home depot and

warmest temperatures away from the bay in our inland areas. let's track this. it's our future cast. and you notice all day long not a cloud in the sky. and then this develops this shield of low clouds and some areas of patchy fog developing a monterey bay, lifting up in a northerly direction that will cool us down for your friday through the weekend along the beaches, but not so much inland. in fact, we're forecasting a temperature of 88 degrees today in clayton and oakland and in concord. antioch. same story. these temperatures are up a good five six degrees compared to yesterday in san anselmo. you will strike out at 89 degrees 88 today in pleasanton. pinpoint your neighborhood from 73 to 89 degrees 87 degrees and throughout saratoga and los gatos and cupertino, there's your extended forecast. temps peak tomorrow. a very lovely mom's day. garcia. roberta. >> thank you. rent is soaring faster than wages in most cities nationwide, but san francisco is bucking the trend. why? wages

started with only 13 members attending a bible study and as the years, many years went by, they kept growing. the group was studying the book of acts in the bible at the time, and that inspired the name of the church. the acts full gospel church has dedicated its mission to serving the community and the church members, says celebrations will continue for the next few days. >> any time a company says that something is going to some change is going to make something cheaper. i get immediately wary of that because never in my life have i seen one of those changes actually make something cheaper. >> well, today the public utilities commission could provide some relief for pg and e customers, but some customers are skeptical they'll see any potential savings then breathing new life into downtown san francisco. it's called the vacant viper program. and now there is a new lineup of businesses participating. plus, the clock is ticking down until election day and president biden is bay area bound today with the

morning to all of you. hey, it's already 68 degrees in san francisco. average high is 63. it is 71 at this early hour in santa rosa. how about mid 60s? around the bay it is 67 degrees and concord in today's highs from the 70s at the beaches, 80s across the bay to nearly 90 in our inland areas. we've got you covered with the mom's day forecast. but right now let's send it on over to dad. here's traffic with sal all. right. >> thank you very much. definitely, dad. over here. let's go out and see what we have with the east bay commute heading into san jose, we do have a lot of slowing in hayward. union city and fremont. that's typical. and then you see the south bay commute is pretty thick and that includes 280. i think you should wait a little while if you can before you hit the 280 freeway or any of those freeways usually. does clear up

at the end of this hour in the 9:00 hour, at some point, 880 is getting slower to downtown oakland. and at the bay bridge, we're backed up almost to the maze now at 802. let's get back to the headlines. well happening today, a vote that could change the way you pay your electricity bill. >> state regulators want to make it cheaper for lower income customers who need to use a lot of power. ktvu james torres is in san mateo this morning with the proposal. state regulators are set to hear today. good morning, james. >> good morning andre. well it's pretty simple to calculate your bill right now. the more energy and electricity you use, the more you're going to have to pay, and it's likely you're paying a lot for it. well, this new proposal will change things just a little bit differently. it offers very modest savings for those low income customers and anyone who is entirely electrified. their home and may

even be charging evs at home as well. it's part of a law that passed two years ago. it 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 the new proposal, that means your bill will be broken up into two parts in terms of how you'll be charged, the plan would add a flat rate to your bill. so no matter how much energy you use, every customer would have to pay a $24 flat fee, and that number would be a little bit different. for low income customers, that would be about 6 or $12. revenue from that would be used to help maintain the power grid. but then you also have your usage rate. that would still continue to be based on how much energy you actually use. that's how your bill is calculated. now but to offset the cost of the flat rate for all customers, usage rates would drop about 5 to $0.07 per kilowatt hour on average, pg and e would not be getting any extra revenue. it's all pretty much just reallocated. but the question would be who benefits most people who live in hot areas of the state, who need to keep the air conditioning cranked, as well as customers who have electrified their homes, including charging evs. that's who really are going to benefit the most for the average customer. it could save you about $30 a month. we did talk to one man earlier this morning. he rents a home down in san jose and he says he's always

skeptical of any talk about a cost saving move. >> anytime a company says that something's going to, some change is going to make something cheaper. i get immediately wary of that because never in my life have i seen one of those changes actually make something cheaper. >> and those savings may not be for everyone. it entirely depends on where you live and kind of how much energy you use. so say you don't live in an area that requires you to crank the ac at all hours of the day. say you live somewhere in san francisco or along the peninsula here in san mateo county, it's likely that your bill, if this proposal goes through, actually will go up by about $9 again, will totally depend on. the cpuc is taking up this conversation later this morning. a final vote is expected today. we are live from san mateo county. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news. >> james, thank you. with just 179 days left until the presidential election, president biden is scheduled to make a

stop in the bay area this evening, and his visit is all about money. tomorrow, he'll be attending two campaign fundraiser events. we've learned one of them 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. >> teachers in brentwood rallied at the school board meeting, calling for higher pay. what do we want? >> when do we want it? now >> teachers say they need a higher salary to be able to live in the area where they teach. negotiations with the school district have stalled, according to the teachers, after getting an offer that included no pay raise, they say they still hope the school board will help them get a pay increase. >> 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. >> the school superintendent told the brentwood press. the district is in a difficult place financially because of rising expenses and a drop in

enrollment policies at sacramento state university are being changed after pro-palestine protesters rallied for more than a week, demanding that the university divest from israel. >> i believe that we will win. 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, 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. other student campus protesters 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. >> 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. >> this happened yesterday morning at sunrise middle school. firefighters responded after reports that eight students and two teachers had difficulty breathing, itchy eyes and nausea. the fire department says one classroom had elevated levels of co2. it's still unclear what caused it, but san jose firefighters say students were scheduled to work on a volcano project with baking soda and vinegar. in an email, school leaders said that vapors from chemicals in a locked closet may have leaked, possibly through the hvac system. two students went to the hospital as a precaution and then were released to their families here at awake now, sonoma county law enforcement went to the joe rodota trail, clearing out dozens of homeless encampments. >> the county says the cleanup was needed after the number of homeless people in the trail ballooned to about 50 over the weekend. the move is sparking criticism from advocates who say the people who were pushed out have nowhere to go. however, the county says it offered everyone

a bed at a santa rosa homeless shelter. >> the city of san francisco says eight more businesses are taking part in the vacant to vibrant program to help fill empty storefronts this summer. eight small, locally owned businesses, including a coffee shop, glass studio and social club, will open pop up shops inside what are now vacant storefronts across the city. later today, the city is holding a news conference announcing a $1 million donation from wells fargo to support the pop ups that have transitioned to long term leases. >> it's 808, and we do have traffic that is going to be busy in many of these areas. let's go to the bay bridge first because i like to start there most of the time just to show you the general temperature of the commute. it's moderate. it's not light for sure. 880 is slowing down as well. the south bay has really been slow. part of it has been a couple of earlier incidents, and part of it is just this is one of the busiest days of the week. i know that tomorrow, if everything goes well, it should be significantly lighter. northbound 280 at 17 there was a crash, but and

that's there. but the traffic was slow well before this happened. so i don't think you can blame the crash, although now obviously it's not helping anything at all. if you happen to be getting on the freeway. 280 after 17 driving into cupertino now is your chance. get up there before all that traffic is let through. and again, 280 is very, very slow. let me put it up there. again. this is what you're dealing with. so just be aware. 809 let's go back to the desk. sal >> thank you. governor newsom plans to release his revised budget plan tomorrow in sacramento. a report from the office of legislative analysis in february forecasting a budget deficit of $73 billion by 2025. last month, the governor signed a bill to reduce the budget deficit by $17 billion. the governor and state lawmakers agreed to a wide range of spending cuts, delayed spending and cuts to one time expenses. lawmakers and the governor have until the end of june to pass a budget for the next fiscal year. the u.s. census bureau is considering asking americans about their sexual orientation

and gender identity. the census bureau says it's seeking public comment to help it shape future questions about sexual orientation and gender identity. the process to add new questions to an upcoming census can take years. the new questions could appear on the next census in 2030. time now is eight. ten baht is still struggling financially, it says, even after they say ridership has increased. the possible ballot measure that could help keep the transit agency alive. >> after wine sales spiked during the pandemic, things have slowed dramatically. what people are likely spending their money on now instead, and what some wineries are doing in hopes of bringing in new youn customers

and that drop is having a big impact on more than 400,000 california jobs in the wine country, which is facing difficult trends following the pandemic. experts say the industry is dealing with a quadruple whammy here. too many wineries, too many vineyards, too many grapes and way too much wine on the market. 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 his 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. younger generations are choosing other spirits over wine, including hard seltzer, canned cocktails and hard cider 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 are 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. >> a uc berkeley graduate who survived a mass shooting is

creating a mental health ai app, according to the san francisco chronicle. 23 year old kai korber was a student at marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida, when a mass shooting there left 17 students and staff dead in 2018. he says his app can tell users can tell how users feel by the sound of their voice. it will also track their mood through a given week and offer quick mindfulness activities meant to help the user's perceived mental state. oakland city leaders and school leaders say they're 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. police are now only used as a last resort on campus. after the change, the school district reported a 10% reduction in suspensions 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? >> some are calling for the program to be expanded into all oakland schools, including middle schools. we expect a comprehensive evaluation of the program from an independent analyst by august. >> a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge is opening this saturday at the i-80 gillman interchange in berkeley. a video simulation of the bridge shows the path you can walk onto it from the east side of the eastshore highway, or from the west side of the tom bates regional sports complex. caltrans says construction is not over. they're still working to finish a staircase that will connect to the pedestrian bridge. crews are also building a double roundabout in the 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 i-80, to help with the traffic

congestion in that area. the structures are scheduled to be completed before the end of the year. >> let's get out the door. 817 how's traffic? sal >> getting a little better. you know, i've been talking about that silicon valley commute there, garcia and andre, and it's still a little bit slow there, although i'm seeing signs of improvement. the last time we saw this, it was more stop and go. and now it's slow and definitely congested. but you can see you can see that things are a little better now. the grid still looks just as slow, although the red color is becoming a little bit less deep red. that means the traffic is beginning to move. 880 hayward to union city. some slowing a lot of people used 580 today, 580 and 880 getting into downtown oakland. and of course the bay bridge is backed up. still, i think it's going to take another hour or so for that to completely improve. 818 what about today's weather? here is roberta. >> i don't know, sal. i'm looking at your maps and i'm seeing a lot of red out there and you're so calm about it.

district 63 in palo alto. and we're now up to 60 in throughout the tri valley. but these temperatures are up to 14 degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. you will feel the difference out the door. plus the winds are under ten for the most part, except check that out. half moon bay. the winds are now offshore. northeast gusts to 32mph won't be as gusty today, but nonetheless in throughout the north bay, we're still picking up some gusty winds. those winds will be more sustained out of the north 10 to 20mph, with an occasional stronger gusts, and it's all because of the high pressure you can see the clarity here. the clear skies. that's where we are having high pressure build in. here's that huge dome and as it nudges closer and closer, the temperatures are going up and the humidity is going down. very dry conditions, humidity at its lowest points inland into the teens. that does promote fire danger. now here we go with our future cast. you can see that the clouds do begin to increase from the south to the north. late tonight into your friday. that will cool down our coastal

areas by the weekend, but until then we have our temperatures warm inland coming down along the coast today. san francisco 81 tomorrow 75. not bad if you're heading to tahoe, we want to set you up. temperatures currently in the 40s, going up to a high today of 60 degrees and even warmer over the weekend . today, our numbers are stacking up from the 70s through the 80s, flirting with 90 degrees. we've got that five day forecast featuring moms day, and that's still coming up a little bit later in this broadcast. dave and gasia, thank you roberta. >> happening today. tickets are going on sale for bay fc's appearance in a special summer cup competitions between clubs from the american and mexican professional women's soccer leagues. bay fc will host two matches in late july and early august. tickets are up for presale sales to the general public start next tuesday. 821 bipartisan support growing for medicaid coverage for inmates prior to their release. the four states recently approved to offer that coverage. >> california leading in prison

temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above average. that's what you are looking at right here right now. not a cloud in the sky. again temperatures pinpoint your neighborhood at 69. in napa, 63 degrees in palo alto going up to highs today in the mid 80s around the peninsula. check out the seashore in the mid 70s. but the big question is how hard will the winds blow? and how about your allergy report. that's coming up in a matter of minutes. but first things first, sal castaneda, i have never heard you complain about a sniffle or a single allergy. >> i do have allergies for sure. >> in fact, you just don't complain. >> yeah, i don't complain, but my eyes this morning when i woke up were feeling kind of that weird feeling you get, right? yeah. but just kind of deal with it. and here i am. well, it is itchy. let's go out and take a look at the bay bridge for you. you can see the traffic is getting a little better, i can tell. and it might be better by the time if you decide to go.

and then the next hour, 880 is also loosening up. 280 has improved significantly, but the south bay commute is still very busy. if you want to wait a little while longer, that should be better for you. 831 let's go back to the desk. >> well, bart is sounding the alarm about its serious budget challenges. the transit agency says its best long term hope is a possible new ballot measure involving a proposed tax that voters could decide on in 2026. ktvu erasmus live in walnut creek here, where bart's board of directors ali is set to discuss the option at its meeting today. >> yeah, that meeting is set to start just about a half hour from now. one of the topics are going to be discussing is a possible ballot measure that voters could decide on a couple of years from now. now we're at the walnut creek bart station this morning where we have seen quite a few people heading up the platform to take a train to work. it's not the volume of passengers bart used to have before the pandemic. in fact, the agency says its ridership weekly weekday average ridership is about 40% of what it was before 2020. the bay area has a

high number of people who continue to work from home and simply don't need to go into the office every day, and because of that, bart is facing some serious financial challenges. the agency is predicting a $35 million budget deficit starting in 2026, and if it tried to cut its way out of that budget hole, according to bart's finance director, it would have to cut service by about 60 to 80. now, at its meeting today, the board of directors will discuss a possible ballot measure that they say is really their last best hope. senate bill 1031 would allow regional transportation officials to put a measure on the ballot to ask voters to raise money for bart through some type of tax increase. what type of tax increase isn't specified, whether it's property tax or a sales tax or payroll tax, but if voters approved it, bart would get additional funding to sustain it in the years to come. bart riders we talked to this morning have mixed feelings. >> drive into the city, take an uber, which is ridiculous or

take bart. >> so you need bart. >> we need bart. i also think it's nice to keep cars off the road because it's really busy. >> it's really busy. it's pretty, pretty hard, you know, to justify another tax. >> yeah. find another way. >> now, as part of this senate bill that would allow for this ballot measure, regional transportation officials would also have to look at a way to consolidate the 27 different transit agencies that operate throughout the nine counties in the bay area. the bill says merging those transit agencies like bart, muni, ac transit and others, for example, would help them survive financially. long term. now, no decisions are expected to be made at this bart meeting regarding this possible measure. today it's still in the very early stages, but they are going to be discussing it again. the earliest it could end up on a ballot before voters is the year 2026 live in walnut creek. allie rasmus ktvu, fox two news. thank you. >> allie plans for a new affordable housing communities

in san francisco are underway. two buildings along sunnydale avenue will provide 170 apartments for low income families. 127 units will be set aside for people currently living in public housing. mayor london breed says residents will have access to features that aren't often always available in lower income areas. >> community center with the boys and girls club grocery store, all the amenities that any other community has, including childcare facility. i mean, working with the community . this is how you make magic happen. >> construction on both communities is set to be complete by early next year. >> all right. california has one of the highest employment levels of construction laborers. that's according to the bureau of labor statistics. but our state's employment development department reports the golden state still does not have enough people to fill those jobs. at the same time, jails around the state are filled with people who just need a skill and opportunity to keep them from returning in the future. at the santa rita jail in dublin, there

is a brand new program that's aimed to plug that hole and improve the lives of inmates who are released. >> next is thomas rodriguez. >> make no mistake, this is a graduation ceremony and if the uniforms didn't give it away. yes, this isn't your ordinary class of graduates. >> i don't like to call this a program. okay? because this is life changing. >> a life change could be on the horizon for these 12 men. completing the first ever apprenticeship program at the santa rita jail. >> so they the certificate they received today is just the sheriff acknowledging their completion. >> for the last 12 weeks, the men with no background in construction turned what was a grass filled lot inside the jail into a construction site. they hammered, they drilled. learn how to read blueprints, multiple people can start growing. some didn't even know how to read a tape measure. but they learned. >> they leveled the foundation.

they did the grading. they did the elevation. then they set up the forms for the concrete. they poured the concrete. >> and all this learning wasn't just meant to keep the men busy. the classes were taught by a member of the laborers international union of north america. >> this is going to go here. tomas >> all these men are getting certified in jobs. they have learned here anything from first aid, cpr, osha, ten grade check in to construction fundamentals. the 20 certifications received means they can walk out of the santa rita jail, walk into their local union offices, and find work in construction that pay a living wage. >> this caught my attention. i felt that it was a more of an opportunity. you know, just like my folks always told me to take advantage of every opportunity to use a verse from the bible. >> idle hands are the devil's workshop for micah smith. the devil was hard at work. >> i've had drug drug problems on the streets. and it always led to if i'm not busy, then and

i'm always using drugs on the streets or when i'm bored, i'm pretty much going, doing something that i really shouldn't be doing to get high. >> he'd still tools for money, tools he'll now use to build a future on the other side of the barbed wire fence, landing work that will keep him out of jail for good. and if you need more proof of the opportunity being provided, smith did something you probably wouldn't expect someone in jail to say. he asked the court to let him stay behind bars a little longer. >> that way i could stay an extra month or two to go ahead and finish the program. >> you guys are going to work your way down the line. >> the fruits of their labor are evident on this lot. this building is their handiwork and so is this awning and even the picnic table where they sit. eating lunch was built by their own hands thanks to a grant from the bureau of justice assistance, a grant that will help the men even after they're released from jail. >> once they get released here, part of our grant is we'll pay their initiation fees and their first three months, plus their basic equipment. so their hammer , tool belt, all that stuff is

all funded in this grant. so all these two boxes on top of the roof, let's do it right. >> that's how we learn. >> if we truly want to see people reentering our communities with a clear vision as to what they're going to do so they can stay out of incarceration, whether it be in a county jail facility, whether it be in a state facility, we have a responsibility to give them some tools to be able to achieve much more than just getting a job that will pay minimum wage. >> now, i'm told starting salaries for these men could hover around the $40 an hour mark. hundreds of men reportedly at that jail interested in taking part in the next class. and yes, there is talk of incorporating female inmates into the program now, one of the men in that graduation was already released, but returned to receive his certificate with his classmates. he'll join us live in studio to talk about how he's doing now. coming up on mornings on two. the nine. >> california is one of four states that can now provide medicaid health care coverage to people released from jails and prisons. a new policy allows states to provide medicaid health care to incarcerated

people at least a month before their release. previously, federal policy prohibited medicaid spending on people in jails or prisons. states can now connect prisoners with case managers 30 to 90 days before they're released to help make appointments with doctors, mental health counselors and other medical professionals. >> 839 today, the port of oakland is expected to finalize a name change of the airport to san francisco bay oakland international airport. san francisco has sued about this, saying the new name infringes on the trademark at sfo that dates back to 1954. san francisco city attorney david chu is urging the port of oakland to collaborate on a different name to avoid an expensive legal fight. >> all right. that heat up we've been talking about all week is here. we're not as hot as it's going to be. we're still sort of ticking up. but according to our meteorologist, roberta gonzalez, some people who avoided the ac may want to reach for it later today in our inland areas. >> but even in san francisco, you're not used to 81 degrees, but you are used to this. wow. bird's eye view of the golden

gate bridge, where currently to the north we have 72. in novato. in the city it's 71 degrees. and around the peninsula. we are at 66. but check out half moon bay at 68 degrees. winds are picking up more of a northeasterly flow today. 10 to 20mph. a stronger gusts occasionally, but not as windy as yesterday. this is going to usher the pollen around. and if you suffer from allergies today, pollen is on the medium to high side. and speaking of high temperatures, mid 70s at the beaches today, 80 around the central bay up to nearly 90 degrees. in our inland areas we've got that five day forecast featuring moms day and gasia andre. it's still ahead. >> thank you roberta. coming up here is baby boomers age. the soaring cost of care is creating a financial strain on so many families. next on the nine how more families are getting care for their aging loved ones for a fraction of the usual cost. >> rent is soaring significantly faster than wages in the major cities across the us. but surprisingly, san francisco is bucking that trend. while wages

interview with cnn says the us is still committed to israel's

defense and will supply defensive arms. but already the us has delayed the shipment of large bombs to israel, suggesting their use could cause excessive civilian civilian casualties. if they go into rafah. >> they haven't gone into 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. >> meanwhile, 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 shut down. the rafah border crossing with egypt has been closed since israel's military took control of the palestine 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 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 . meanwhile, people rallied in berkeley to show support for the school district's superintendent. on the same day, she testified before congress about reports of anti-semitism at berkeley schools. i thought she did an incredible job defending our district and the values we stand for, parents and community members at the rally said. overall, berkeley is an inclusive community. the superintendent, annika ford martel, testified before a congressional committee earlier in the day. she acknowledged instances of anti-semitism on campus and said the problem is not widespread without going into detail, she told lawmakers the district addressed the situation in its, of course,

anti-semitism in this country, including in berkeley, i'm sure. >> and there's also anti anti muslim racism and other kinds of hatred. >> many people at the rally carried signs calling for jewish palestinian solidarity, said they wanted to serve as a model for other communities so all children can feel safe. >> 846 is your time? new research shows gen z is having a harder time paying off their debt. however, there are some credit cards that can help your budget. >> pam cook back in studio with that and a lot more. and some mornings as well in dollars and cents. >> yes, some companies issuing a warning with their quarterly earnings report this morning. the warning comes from planet fitness and airbnb, as those companies project a drop in consumer spending, many others have done the same. shortly after the opening bell rang this morning, though, the market index is headed higher, the dow is getting help from caterpillar and home depot. both of those stocks trading higher today. and as we take you live for our latest look at the numbers. dow jones still hanging on to a gain. it was up about 200 points. pulled back a little bit

nearly $3,000 in the last quarter of 2023. that's about $600 more than millennials ten years ago, adjusted for inflation, financial advisors pinpoint inflation and graduating with student loans as the biggest reasons for the rising debt. the report also found younger people are also falling behind on their credit card payments, while credit card reward programs are having a big impact on low income americans, new studies show these rewards, such as cash back, can often help working class families pay for daily expenses. they also help offset inflation with discounts on gas and groceries. the new research also shows low income americans are the fastest growing users of those reward credit cards. i'm pam cook, that's a look at your dollars and cents. >> many members of gen z also are embracing artificial intelligence on social media, a new study shows. gen z consumers are more open to brands using ai influencers instead of a real person. some brands use an ai generated character to promote their products, and just about

anybody can create a lifelike character with the use of free ai apps. >> all right, time now is 849. sal is back in the traffic center. traffic tracking any trouble spots across the bay area. good morning. >> so yeah, good morning there andre and garcia. you see behind you the bay bridge. we'll show you that in just a minute. but it's still very slow. we also do see that the south bay commute has been very slow today. probably the slowest day of the week. their northbound 280 is getting a little better. it's moving at least. at one point it looked like it was standing still. let's talk about 880. that's getting slower getting into downtown oakland. and of course at the bay bridge, we saw it behind garcia and andre. they're still backed up to the macarthur maze. what about today's weather at 849 or actually 850 on the dot? let's bring in roberta. >> can i bring up one thing, though? it was 14 years ago on this exact date, and it was actually mother's day when dallas braden with the oakland a's had a perfect game. nice >> i think i remember that's it somewhere in the back of my mind. thank you roberta.

coast and in san francisco. gently for your friday. additional cooling takes place this weekend. you see that the fog begins to move into the central bay over the weekend, but it will keep our inland temperatures still toasty today. high in san francisco's 81. but with that influx of the return of the marine layer for your friday and saturday, temperatures tumble into the 70s, but average high 63. so we're doing okay. 76 degrees along the coast today, 80 bayside 80s around the peninsula to nearly 90 in our inland areas. it will top off at 90 on friday. still warm inland on saturday. mom stay will be glorious with the abundance of sunshine except along the media coast. gasia andre, take it away . >> thank you so much, roberta. a shocking scene at jfk international airport. a flight attendant escorted by federal agents in handcuffs when he joined us on the nine. why? authorities say some flight attendants and what they say they were sneaking into the u.s. >> the 49ers shocked some fans and football experts, even by picking a florida wide receiver in the first round of the nfl
