big news here, tom ain't over yet, though. >> in a nutshell, port of oakland officials believe approving the name change to san francisco bay oakland airport will make it clear to travelers worldwide that it's part of the san francisco bay area. but the city of san francisco believes that the name is nothing short of a trademark infringement. that will cause confusion and cost it customers a lot of oaklanders at the hearing opposed it as a prelude to airport expansion. >> their vote no to the name change and no to the airport expansion. please protect the east bay and lead the way to a healthy future with fewer flights and less pollution. >> the slanted survey, written and administered to achieve approval. it does not at all provide evidence that oakland's want a name change. >> amir adib, a bay area trademark and intellectual property attorney, says since both entities are in the exact same business, airports san francisco probably has the better claim. after almost 100 years, san francisco is

prominent. >> it's the first part of the both marks, it creates a lot of issues around confusion. if you enter san francisco into san francisco's pop up, that that's by definition, that's very confusing. come up with something that's more distinctive at the beginning of the name. if you really want to change your name. >> even at oakland airport, where we met passengers from out of town, opinion was divided. >> i would guess that maybe combining the names, maybe, teaches people that they are close and affiliated with each other. i do know that when i first was flying here, that it was a little confusing which one to go to. >> so i can understand that being an issue. >> actually, i like it being oakland. i like it being, not not so confusing for somebody who doesn't fly in here all the time. >> now, san francisco's city attorney issued this statement. if oakland continues to rebuff our offers to partner, we will have to move forward with the

next steps in our trademark lawsuit and seek to seek a preliminary injunction to stop infringement on sfo's trademark, which is to say, the fight really now is just beginning. back to you. >> yeah, strong words there from the city attorney. not sure if he's bluffing. probably not. so what are the next steps, tom, would you say? >> well, the next step would be to move towards an injunction, whether temporary or permanent, and enjoy in the city of oakland from doing anything like that. the defense to that, of course, is that when you think about chicago o'hare, chicago midway, you think about dallas love field, you think about dallas fort worth. there's a lot of precedence for this. so it's going to be an interesting fight . and whether or not it applies all the way to airports is still going to be an issue. that has to be worked out, which is why this is a big win for the attorneys. >> all right. tom vacar live tonight in the newsroom, tom. thank you. well fire investigators in hayward are now trying to pinpoint the cause of a vegetation fire that destroyed multiple cars and threatened nearby homes. >> the fire broke out this afternoon in the jackson

triangle neighborhood east of 92 and 880. ktvu jana katsuyama joins us now live from the scene. jana, you spoke with one neighbor who pulled out her garden hose when that fire started. she's live now at the scene with the details on what happened. >> yes. julie, let me just step aside so you can see just how close some of these houses are. the fire started on those trees right in the back. you can see where there's some burn area in the eucalyptus. it made for a very scary scene for the neighbors in this area. the flames frightening close to homes, shot up through the trees behind a house on lucien way in hayward thursday afternoon. >> it was really, really scary. >> lucy nieto was home is adjacent to the trees in her neighbor's backyard that caught on fire a shock, she says. seeing the flames so close, i jumped out, got my family out and then i don't know what came over me. >> but basically i just thought, well, maybe i could slow down the fire. i grabbed the hoses.

>> she says she got her elderly parents out of the house and then came back to try and put water on her shed and fence to slow the flames. >> i grabbed the hoses. i told my son to grab a hose and start watering down the grass or shed area. >> hayward fire crews arrived and were able to keep the fire from spreading to surrounding houses, but four vehicles parked in the backyard were completely destroyed. two people who live in the home were able to get out and no one was injured. but one big concern the strong wind gusts that blew embers to four other places, causing spot fires even across the nearby railroad tracks blocks away. when you get a tree that that's that's that high, especially eucalyptus trees, they they do, you know, put out a lot of embers and stuff and they burn pretty, pretty hot. and fire investigators say there are no power lines nearby. and it appears the fire started with the trees and then spread to the cars. >> sounded like the tree was what caught on fire first. but also we know that there was some possible maintenance on the cars in the last few days, so that

could have played a factor. >> neighbors are now having to having to clean up the debris and also the damage that was done to some of the surrounding fences. i did speak with one of the fire investigators, who says that there were reports of a few people back in that area doing yard or maintenance work at the time the fire started. so they're still trying to determine the cause. i also asked about the condition of the trees that were burned, and he says that he believes that they structurally are okay. so there's no concern right now, at least of them toppling over as a result of fire damage. reporting live from hayward, jana katsuyama, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, now to our weather. pretty warm day across the entire bay area as skyfox flew over dolores park in san francisco this afternoon. down below, you can see a lot of people soaking up the sun on this thursday afternoon. across town, people also out enjoying the warm weather at baker beach, jumping in the ocean to stay

cool. temperatures in the city well above average. today. >> our chief meteorologist, bill martin, joins us now with a look at some of the numbers and just how long the warm weather will last. bill. >> yeah, we are kind of winding down, at least on the coastal warm temperatures today. we did see a lot of mid 80s. we actually did pick up a 90 degree reading in pittsburgh. temperatures are running well above the average. a good ten degrees warmer than they are typical for this time than is typical for this time of year. santa rosa is a case in point 73 the average 86 today. pretty warm. san francisco downtown 79. san francisco won't be as warm tomorrow. what we're going to have happen here is the marine layer of the fog is going to start pushing back up the coast, even if the fog doesn't get here by tomorrow morning, the kind of southwesterly flow that northeast flow, that warm, windy conditions that we've had is going to get cut off and temperatures are going to start trending down. so as we head towards mother's day, a little bit cooler, but still pretty darn nice. we just had a heck of a run here the last couple of days. and as you look at the valley areas, you see that

southerly surge start to develop . it's already i'm seeing some signs of it right now, but i think by tomorrow morning doesn't mean the fog may not be back in earnest into friday, but it will be definitely just offshore in those cool breezes will be coming in that will drop temperatures in itself, especially around the bay. i'll see you back here at full forecast in just a minute. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit, bill. thank you, president biden. and first lady jill biden returned to the bay area tonight. the first lady touching down at sfo in the past half hour. the bidens are on a west coast fundraising swing for the president's reelection campaign. ktvu political reporter greg lee live now at sfo with the details of the presidential visit. greg >> julie, good evening to you, first lady jill biden. deplaning here at sfo just about ten minutes ago. in fact, here's another look at that airplane that brought her to this tarmac. that crew still wrapping up their post flight checks here. the motorcade taking doctor biden to the north bay for a fundraiser tonight. the president set to land at moffett field in a few hours as they both work to bolster his

in israel in gaza front and center on college campuses, both democrats and republicans know young voters could play a pivotal role in the election. >> we would expect to see a split screen of wealthy donors opposite protesters talking about what comes next for u.s. foreign policy in the middle east. the difficulty, however, will not be conversion, and the difficulty will be turnout. and so you're going to see the money that's raised to really go to turnout. when biden last visited in february, he was met with protests in san francisco. >> we need joe biden to call for a ceasefire immediately, and we need him to condition aid and stop selling arms to israel for the first time, biden warned the u.s. would halt weapons shipments if israel launched an assault in the southern gaza. >> 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. >> and while israel, hamas is a concern for many young voters,

surveys show they're also driven by issues like the economy and abortion rights. now, the fundraising will continue for the bidens after they leave the bay area. the president will travel to seattle, the first lady to los angeles tomorrow reporting live at sfo. greg lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, greg, thank you for that. now the president's visit comes one day after he publicly warned israel he will not supply them with weapons for a ground invasion of rafah. his announcement drawing strong reactions today on capitol hill, the president is only emboldening hamas. >> we're going to look at what tools do we have. and here's the first tool i have. sit down with democrats and see if we can walk this back. >> the pentagon has already put a hold on a shipment of about 3500 bombs bound for israel. the president insists his support for israel is ironclad and that the u.s. will still supply weapons for the jewish state to defend itself. >> we want to support israel. we want to make sure that the

actions that they take to defend themselves and to stop hamas terrorism do not involve innocent people giving their lives and being injured. >> so far, cease fire negotiations between israel and hamas have gone nowhere, and the white house believes an invasion of raqqa will make it harder to bring hostages home. tens of thousands of displaced palestinians are packing up and getting out of rafah, the place the israeli military calls hamas last stronghold. the rafah border crossing with egypt has been closed since the israeli military took control of the palestinian side on tuesday. civilians, civilians are moving into already crowded areas seeking a safe place to stay, as well as food and water, while the president campaigns here in the bay area, his political opponents spent the day in a manhattan courtroom where stormy daniels testified for the second day about her relationship with former president trump. >> as fox's connor hansen reports tonight, daniels spent most of the day defending her earlier testimony.

>> i think you'll see some very revealing things today and, i want to thank my lawyers. they've done a very good job. >> earlier in the week, prosecutors questioned stormy daniels through a lengthy account of her alleged affair with donald trump, including explicit details when former president trump's attorney, susan necklace had her turn, she aimed to discredit daniels, trying to point out inconsistencies in her past accounts of the encounter. >> nicholas also questioned daniels about her motivations to get paid to stay silent, versus wanting to get her story out, and daniels was asked if she has continued to make a living off her encounter with trump. >> what there showing the jury now is that she had this economic motive all along, but also her credibility is in tatters. >> you're a star. testify in a fraud trial about the leader of the free world in his boxers, on a bed about to commit an extramarital affair that has no place in a fraud trial.

>> some legal experts say they're still waiting to see smoking gun evidence. prosecutors need to prove trump falsified business records to conceal a crime, like trying to influence the 2016 election. each day, supporters of the former president have joined him in the courtroom, like florida senator rick scott. >> what he is going through is just despicable. it's a crime in this country to use the court system. go after your political opponents after stormy daniels finished her testimony, prosecutors called a junior bookkeeper from the trump organization to the stand in new york. >> connor hansen, ktvu, fox two news changing how you pay for power tonight at 530. >> the new plan, approved by state regulators to add a fixed charge to your pg and e bill, also ahead at 530. >> terrifying moments for a bay area rowing team after shots are fired while racing in the sacramento river. >> and after the break, we go

been telling him they've enjoyed their stay. >> they've really been enjoying it. we see people who are regulars for this event, regulars for this convention coming back year after year, and they say how happy they are to be back in san francisco. >> san francisco travel association says the rsa conference is the second biggest annual conference after dreamforce, and is bringing in an estimated $62 million to the city, one of the most important things we can do for san francisco is fill our convention center, bring meetings and conventions to san francisco. >> those folks are staying in our accommodations. they're eating in our restaurants. they're really stimulating the entire economy of san francisco. >> our visitor from south carolina says he's already planning on returning to san francisco. >> i'm already saving the date for the one that we got next year. i think that's around april 28th through like, may 2nd. and one final note here capacity hotels in the area are either at capacity or nearly at capacity. >> that means it was an all hands on deck situation. the hotel council here in san francisco says hotels called in

all available workers to accommodate all those crowds. guys. definitely a good sign if those hotels are full of people. everybody works, so they are very thrilled that this convention, they're calling it a success. we're here live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. i'm with you. >> great to see. nice to see everybody out packing those restaurants and hotels, christian. thank you. >> we have an update now on a hitnd run in san francisco that hurt two people, including a 14 year old girl. earlier this week, district attorney brooke jenkins announced today. 54 year-old rodney jefferson has been charged with a number of crimes, including reckless driving with great bodily injury and driving with a suspended license. this is video from the crash at embarcadero and jones that happened after a police pursuit with jefferson. police say it all started when he was spinning donuts on tuesday morning and collided with into a worker with urban alchemy. he then drove away, hitting a 14 year old girl who was crossing the street. both victims are expected to survive. kaiser

hospitals on the peninsula are providing life saving gun trigger locks to parents of small children, doctors at kaiser, redwood city and san mateo are giving the locks to parents who own guns and are storing them unlocked. the san mateo county sheriff's office donated 100 gun locks for the program. some parents are discreetly offered the locks when they bring their children in for checkups and fill out a screening questionnaire. it includes questions about health, safety and guns in the home. >> it's very discreet, so it makes it easy to be able to just easily give it to a parent without them walking out with something that kind of calls out that i came out with a gun lock. it looks just like a bike lock, but it is such an easy device that will save children's lives. >> the trigger locks are available in the pediatrics, emergency and psychiatry departments at both hospitals. >> okay, winds. today there was a wind advisory for parts of the central valley this morning. but that wind advisory has been

dropped. the winds did get going though. out of the north northeast. we had gusts up to 54 miles an hour atop mount diablo. oakland hills 52. so it is windy. a lot of not a lot of branches, a lot of leaves on the ground, that type of thing. and tree pollen is being spread to and fro. basically, a lot of folks suffering tree pollen allergies are all all allergies, but tree pollen is the preliminary one or the biggest one. pardon me. so the winds were kind of blowing offshore right. so what happens is the air comes up over montara mountain, drops into half moon bay. and when air sinks, it's kind of sinking. it warms. so 77 degrees in half moon bay today. that was a record high, not a record. it was a high today, but it was basically induced or produced by these winds that are sinking and compressing, which we talk about all the time. when they sink, they warm. when air rises, it cools. that air was sinking 77 and half moon bay is pretty warm. these are some other very warm daytime highs. pittsburgh was 90. that was the hot spot, but by a lot. right? by three degrees over, cupertino, hillsboro 8483 in san

mateo a nice day. more sunshine as we head back to tomorrow, but it's going to be a little cooler . the winds start to come onshore a little bit, and with that we're going to see the fog return. and probably by, i would suspect by tomorrow night at the latest, but maybe a little bit in here by tomorrow morning. cooler as we move forward. the full forecast with the latest model. look, i'll see you back here. >> all right bill, thank you. still ahead tonight, a family in florida demanding answers after deputies shoot and kill their 23 year old son in his own home. >> and coming up tonight at six nurses at san francisco public hospitals walking the picket lines, their claims of chronic understaffing and how the city is trying to respond to their concerns

sacramento and a young team based in oakland was racing at the time, ktvu crime reporter henry lee. live tonight here in the newsroom, after speaking with a parent of one of the rowers, henry. >> yeah, mike, the last seen these teenage boys expected was to come under fire in the middle of the water. and it was all caught on video. these teenage boys from the east bay were rowing in a race on the sacramento river when, without warning, this happened, someone

fired at least three shots that landed near the team. you can see splashes from bullets in the water just a few feet away from the boat. >> it was pretty shocked. i think all of us were. it's horrifying. >> fred ackerman's 15 year old son was among nine boys on the boat. their team, the oakland strokes, was taking part in a regatta in the sacramento river ship channel on april 20th, when the shots rang out. >> it was, maybe ten feet. it could have been closer. it could have been a little bit further away, but it was too close. >> luckily, no one was hurt, a motive unknown. no one saw the shooter. >> there were. there were dozens and dozens of people there were boaters or people fishing. there were, people walking along the path, and the police don't even know where the shots came from. >> west sacramento police are investigating the high school. aged boys on the boat are part of the oakland strokes, which compete in local, state and national races. they practice five days a week. they're based at the tidewater aquatic center in oakland. they're certainly aware of the violence in oakland

, but never expected to get shot at while racing out on the water . >> no parent should give any thought to sending their child to a sporting event, to a concert, to elementary school and think my child might get shot today. >> now, video of that shooting was caught by a woman whose son is also on the team. quite understandably, everyone is shaken but grateful. no one was hurt. anyone with tips in this case is asked to call. west sacramento police live in the newsroom. henry lee, ktvu, fox. >> yeah, let's hope those tips come in too close of a call there along the sacramento river. henry, thank you for that. the state public utility commission unanimously approved a controversial plan today that will change how pge and other investor owned utilities calculate customer energy bills. this plan is to add a $24 utility charge to most customer bills and in exchange, pge says it would lower electricity prices by 5 to $0.07 per kilowatt hour. low income customers will pay a flat rate

of 6 or $12. the money generated would be used for infrastructure and maintenance. the plan is part of a law approved by state lawmakers in 2022 and advocated by utilities including pg and e. critics say it is not going to benefit everyone. >> we think that if you have a low energy footprint now, even in the central valley, where it gets hot, this fixed charge could actually raise your rates. if you're a low energy user to begin with, california is one of a few states where utilities do not use the fixed rate model. >> those in favor say the change will save customers an average of $30 a month, and they say it will incentivize people in california to go electric. it takes effect in the early year of 2026. >> bart's board of directors says a measure on the ballot could be the only thing that keeps the agency afloat. the agency says its average weekday ridership is still about 40% of what it was before the pandemic, and that by 2027, it could face annual deficits of up to $300 million a year, which would

force the board to make drastic cuts to bart service. state lawmakers have introduced a measure to put a 30 year tax for transit funding on the 2026 ballot. that would apply only to the nine bay area counties. board members say that could be the only thing keeping the trains running. >> it's ultimately up to the voters. the voters will decide bart is really the backbone of the bay area and our economy, and the bay area won't be the bay area without transit service. >> 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, the bart board of directors does not appear to have a backup plan. >> if the 2026 tax measure fails to pass, a new economic study just released shows pork prices are rapidly increasing in california as a result of an animal housing law. >> the study, on the behalf of the food equity alliance, showed pork prices in the state have gone up nearly 30% since july 1st of last year, even though

they've actually decreased 2% nationally. the study confirms supply rollbacks are due to proposition 12 passed back in 2018, which set new standards for farm animal confinement. the president of the state's hispanic chamber of commerce says the price surge and supply scarcity is hurting marginalized communities the most. >> this product has always been a protein staple for the hispanic community, as well as other, communities of color. ultimately, californians and small businesses are primarily owned by persons of color, are being heavily impacted as pork dishes make up a main staple in a variety of ethnic dishes, snacks, and other food products. >> the food equity alliance conducted a similar report in 2021 that predicted these negative impacts of proposition 12 on california consumers. >> governor gavin newsom is putting the pressure on half moon bay to approve an affordable housing project for senior farmworkers. newsom accuses the city's planning commission of stalling on a

proposal to build a 40 unit complex for low income seniors. the planning commission could move this housing project forward next week. during their meeting on tuesday, newsom warned state regulators will be monitoring that meeting. >> more fallout tonight from the closure of the federal women's prison in dublin. a u.s. district judge called the decision, quote, ill conceived. hundreds of inmates were released or moved to other prisons across the country after the bureau of prisons announced the sudden closure of that prison last month, the judge says the abrupt closure and transfer of the women created serious concerns for the inmates. the bureau of prison has been ordered to provide monthly reports for each prison that the women were transferred to, and that does include staffing levels and available mental and health care. >> a memorial run in honor of fallen law enforcement officers had special meaning for many. today, the 179th academy of the alameda county sheriff's department hosted the five k in honor of oakland police officer twan lay. the 36 year-old was shot and killed last december while responding to a burglary

at a cannabis dispensary. members of the oakland police and fire departments took part. >> officer twan lay gave his life in the line of duty. the least we could do is show up today and do a5k run for him. it's really excited about the turnout for our partners from fire and the police department and the community. >> the opd is also mourning the loss of officer jordan wingate, who died april 20th. this was the last time all 61 of the alameda county recruits would run together at the training facility in dublin before graduation on monday, former grade with the san francisco 49ers has died. >> the family of defensive back jimmy johnson says he died last night at the age of 86. the niners drafted johnson out of ucla in 1961 with the sixth pick of the draft. he played his entire 16 year pro career with the red and gold, appearing in 213 games, more than any other niner at the time of his retirement. he was inducted into the pro football hall of fame in 1994, and the team retired his number 37, in 2009, giving

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. >> 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 for me, you know, just like my folks always told me to take advantage of every opportunity to use the verse from the bible. >> idle hands are the devil's workshop for misha 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 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. >> 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. >> and i'm told that these men could start out making $40 an hour. and that is way more than the california minimum wage. and yes, i did check. and they're looking at implementing this program in the female side of the santa rita jail as well. i'm andre senior, ktvu, fox two news. >> the us census bureau is considering whether to ask americans about their sexual orientation and gender identity. the bureau says it is seeking public comment through surveys. it also says adding a person's sexual orientation or gender identity could be useful to the federal government when enforcing civil rights or ensuring equal employment opportunities. the process to add new questions to an upcoming census can take years. that next census in the year 2030. >> the oakland zoo is welcoming a new baby giraffe and they want your help to name him. the new

plenty of sunshine temperatures into the 80s. warmer than yesterday by a few degrees. we did see a 90 degree reading today in pittsburgh, but most of the cities were in the mid 80s. very pleasant, very warm to right. let's look at pacifica at 80 degrees. half moon bay made 77 degrees. san francisco is at 81. so that's a warm day. and that has a lot to do with these winds which are going like this offshore. right. what's happening now it's going to change is the winds are going to start coming the other way. they're going to start coming onshore. and when that happens, we start to cool. and i've already seen indications that the winds have switched in a in a moderate way. it's not like a huge cool down right away. but the fog will be back here by tomorrow morning. probably or certainly by tomorrow night i would expect by tomorrow morning. but we have a little bit of onshore at the gate, onshore, meaning the winds are coming from the ocean to land. that will cool things. the high pressure is what heated us up quite a bit. got the valley pretty hot, but then what happens is the fog gets kind of pushed away here. and as that, as that marine layer is, the

north winds die. the fog kind of pushes back up. right? because there's a thermal gradient that occurs. the heat, the cool water , cool air and the cool, moist fog wants to get into the central valley to get where the heat is left a vacuum. these are the winds showing. the vectors are showing kind of offshore. but if you notice, novato currently is north southwest. napa is northwest oakland, gusting 33 to out of the northwest. so the winds are kind of clocking around out of the west. and that's enough. here we are at san carlos at sfo. that's always a good indication indicator. so big difference from where we were this afternoon. the winds are going the other way and that'll keep things cooler. well she's already seen cooling in oakland and hayward from where we were yesterday. warmer everywhere else. but that sea breeze will gradually fill in as you know, and we will start to cool down. fog comes back. looks like the model brings in tomorrow night. brings it in earnest saturday morning. so now we're back to typical bay area spring. that's saturday and into sunday. see all the fog up into the sacramento delta. so definitely

a cool down. today was nice. tomorrow is going to be really nice too. it's just not going to be. we'll see. maybe a 90 degree reading as we did in in like in santa rosa tomorrow or fairfield, but near the coast, that fog and that onshore wind will kind of get us into the 60s. there's a five day forecast. i'll see you back here at 6:00. >> all right, bill, thank you. buy now, pay later. just make sure you can afford it all. why a growing number of shoppers are getting caught up in so-called phantom debt. >> and coming up tonight at six, another couple is accused of exposing their ten month old child to a lethal amount of fentanyl. what prosecutors say is behind an alarming trend and right now the first lady is in the bay area and the president expected to arrive in just a couple of hours. >> we are monitoring the latest developments as president biden looks to the bay area for more campaign ash

shutting down production of the chevy malibu. the company says it's making room in its kansas city plant for new electric vehicles. the malibu was first released in 1964. its demise makes the corvette chevrolet's last gas powered car. the online therapy company betterhelp is

sending customers refunds after settling a data privacy case. the federal trade commission says betterhelp shared customers health data with advertisers. anyone who paid for services between 20 or august 2017 and december 2020 is now eligible for a refund. the $7.8 million settlement will be split evenly among recipients, which will be equal to about $10 for each affected user. >> there's a new form of debt sinking. a lot of americans. it's all due to the option of buy now and pay later. fox's richard jacobus explains how this so-called phantom debt is putting more customers in the red. if you've ever wanted to spend thousands of dollars on a vacation or even buy a new iphone but not pay for it all at once, well, forget racking up credit card debt. >> what about buying what you want and paying for it over time? a loan of sorts that appears to be growing in popularity? >> i bought some sneakers with him. i just didn't feel like spending all that at once.

>> be responsible. don't buy it. >> buy now. pay later allows consumers to make that big purchase and pay for it at a fixed interest rate. apps like klarna, afterpay, and affirm are the most popular, according to new data by adobe business. the report reveals that this past holiday season, paying in fixed interest rate installments hit an all time high up 14% over the past year. the only problem more and more people are also in the red. >> if you avoid interest, it's not that big of a deal. but i also think with all these things , it's possible to overspend and pay late and get into trouble. >> financial experts call it phantom debt. most of these companies don't report outstanding loans to credit bureaus, which makes it difficult for the lender to know how much debt a person actually has. >> you don't necessarily need a great credit score. if you're a little bit late, it's probably not going to hurt your credit because they usually don't report to credit bureaus unless maybe you're so late that you go to collections. >> that's why it's so popular. say experts. most of these loans also come with a fixed interest rate rather than a credit card,

which carries interest rates above 20. why would you pay more for something over time? >> that just doesn't make sense. the purpose is to pay less, right? >> then there are the companies like paypal that offer four equal interest free payments. normally every two weeks. experts say that's the better option. but with any of these loans, if you miss a payment, you could incur a late fee and then there could be deferred interest, and all of that could wind up making you spend more. so the best option is if you have to take a loan, read the fine print. >> next, at six, president biden and the first lady making their way to the bay area. the details on their brief but important fundraising trip also ahead. >> i think, most disturbingly, they found 25,000 fentanyl pills in a backpack underneath the baby's crib. >> a couple accused of exposing their ten month old child to an apartment full of marijuana, cocaine and tens of thousands of fentanyl pills in a scene that prosecutors describe as beyond
