airlines are hurting consumers. federal regulators held a hearing today in washington, d.c, to analyze the rewards programs, according to a report from the consumer financial protection bureau. the fine print of those deals often doesn't match the marketing, it says. consumers reported paying hefty annual fees and finding companies are devaluing, devaluing their points by making it more difficult to redeem them or limiting redemption options. officialalso say more people are going into credit card debt for choosing cards with higher annual percentage rates for the perks alone. >> since these programs, by design, often can encourage a customer to not choose the product with the lowest price, we want to make sure we understand the impact that rewards programs have on competition and market behavior. >> some airline executives say the credit card rewards programs can provide value when used properly. >> students from oakland's castlemont high school, who recently traveled to asia, are now sharing their experiences

with other students. the student travelers went to elmhurst united middle school this morning in east oakland. the casselman students have been home for a month from their trip to japan, taiwan and the philippines, and they told those middle school children about the different customs they learned. the sites they visited, and about what they ate and experienced. >> it's one of the best things you could do. open eyes to different things and you just get out of your comfort zone, basically trying new food, speaking a new language, trying to learn a new language. socializing with different kind of people. >> the students also say the aim of their visit with the middle school students was to show them how big the world really is, and what they can look forward to when they travel. >> and the weekend just around the corner now. beautiful day today. last couple of days have been nice. we did hit a 90 degree reading in pittsburgh today. most of us were mid 80s. the winds were blowing. those winds at mount diablo up to 54 miles an hour down from where
6:49 pm
they were over 24 hours ago. the wind advisory has been dropped, but it's still it's still pretty breezy out there. and that breeze is stirring up the tree pollens. as you know, it's also doing this move where it. we've talked about this before, but downsloping winds how they heat up when they sink. right. so it comes over the hill. maybe maybe it's 6070. let's say it's 70 degrees comes over the hill and it drops 1000ft. it picks up another five degrees or so. so that's how you get a temperature like 77 degrees at half moon bay today. for the high it actually warms up as it sinks the air. so these downsloping winds is which what we've been experiencing the last few days kind of winding down now because the winds are going to the direction is going to change. and as they change, as the wind comes more onshore, the cool, moist air from the pacific will enter into the region and certainly cool the coast first. tomorrow by good 510 degrees. still really nice at the beaches though, fog should be back in earnest by. there might be a little tomorrow morning, but it'll be back in earnest by tomorrow night. and on saturday morning. live camera shot. just beautiful. good air
6:50 pm
quality because of the wind, right? that makes things nice. and the high pressure is now weakening a little bit, which makes sense. and the low pressure is allowing the fog to kind of work its way. a thermal low is allowing the fog to work its way up into the sacramento valley. the thermal low is in the heat trough of the sacramento valley because it's air rises and creates a little vacuum so that cooler moisture air on the coast will get sucked into it. we're already seeing winds shifting. there's novato onshore and santa rosa is offshore. but let's see, there's concord and fairfield. they're onshore. so this is all different from where we were yesterday. sfo northwest. so onshore winds. that's that's your clue when you see that that is your environmental clue that, yes, things are going to change quickly. and in fact, they are. i mean, look how much cooler it is now in oakland than it was last night. at this time, it's 11 degrees cooler. that sea breeze getting right through the golden gate bridge, cooling things down. so that's the game and that's how it goes as we go into the next few days. but still, it's going to be a really, really, really nice weekend. it's going to be really
6:51 pm
nice. we're going to see plenty of sunshine and then just some patchy fog along the coast that shows up. i think it shows up mainly tomorrow night, but we'll see. but overall you got the wind shift has occurred. that's why it's so much cooler in oakland right now than it was yesterday at this time. but still, tomorrow is a nice day, even at the beaches. you're going to see upper 60s, low 70s, saturday cooler, sunday cooler, and monday cooler still. all right, bill, thank you. >> well, the oakland zoo is welcoming a new baby giraffe. and they want your help in finding a name for him. >> the new giraffe is exploring his space and getting to know his five herd mates. the 13 month old male came to oakland from the audubon nature institute in louisiana. the move was recommended by the association of zoos and aquariums as part of its species survival plan. >> the predominant factor really is habitat encroachment. but, you know, there's less and less space, more and more humans, and that creates a myriad of
