6:02 am
mainly in the mid 50s. if you had your jacket on pretty much all day yesterday, it's a similar story today with those temperatures later on a bit below average. but now the winds will also be an issue later today. looking at your day planner, it's partly sunny throughout the morning and into the afternoon. by 4 p.m, we'll start to see winds ramp up as a cold front gets closer. between about 15 and 25mph. that's just going to reinforce some of these below average temperatures. so 50s along the coast, low and mid 60s around the bay shoreline close to 70 degrees in our warmest spots inland. reggie >> thanks, drew developing news on the unrest at college campuses across the country. new video shows a clash between pro-palestinian protesters and police at emerson college in boston overnight, officers cleared an encampment. students set up to show solidarity with protesters arrested at columbia university. police arrested at least 108 people at emerson. four officers were hurt. other college campuses are seeing similar chaotic scenes, and glory is at the live desk with

6:04 am
protest outside campus and the encampment in campus. and this is some video i took. obviously, a lot of activity there. and this comes as columbia and other universities are gearing up for commencement ceremonies, anti-semitic hate speech and violence have spoiled mostly peaceful protests. officials say non-student agitators have driven some of those incidents. one officer was even assaulted. you could see this video right here with a water jug. this was at cal poly humboldt. the campus is now closed through the weekend. house speaker mike johnson is threatening to pull federal funding for schools that don't create safe environments for jewish students. he visited columbia yesterday and suggested the national guard could even be used if needed, to break up the protests. the white house says it condemns anti-semitism, but said that free speech on college campuses is important. reggie >> thanks, gloria. back here in the bay area, the number of tents set up at a protest encampment on sproul plaza at uc

6:06 am
spoke with mark levine at the anti-defamation league, who said it is clear how horrible hamas is treating the hostages. his parents put out a video statement yesterday saying they want the entire world to see that video and today they spoke with good morning america. >> total mix of emotions first and foremost. just huge sense of relief and gratitude to both. see him and hear him. something about that multisensory was really overwhelming, he's alive. assuming this video is current, which we believe it is, he's alive to people who are watching this to remember that there are 133 hirsch's every single person there has a family. >> no matter who you are. this could be your son. this could be your grandfather. this could be your daughter, your sister, your spouse. and it's time for goldberg. >> poland is one of five us israeli hostages in captivity. his parents went on to say they are relieved to see him alive,
6:07 am
but they are concerned for his health and well-being. ryan curry abc seven news thank you, ryan. >> abc seven news is following the proposed traffic changes in san francisco's west portal neighborhood after a deadly crash. some residents and business owners are against this project. it would get rid of left turns at the intersection of lola street and lenox way. it would also make lenox a one way. the proposed changes come after a crash that killed a family of four. >> this tragic, tragic accident should not be utilized opportunistically to try to slam this thing through. and that's what's happening. and you know, that is a block and a half away from what they're talking about. redesigning that's just not right. >> many people tell abc seven news they are worried the changes will hurt businesses that are still trying to recover from the pandemic. the sfmta says it will work with merchants to make sure their needs are met, and friends of the family of four killed in last month's wrong-way crash along west portal have reached their fundraising goal. they've
6:08 am
collected more than $8,000 that will pay for a memorial plaque and memory of the victims. the plaque will be installed in dolores park to honor the family who lived in the mission district. that's diego cardoza de oliveira, matilda ramos pinto and their two children. the driver in this case has not yet been charged. >> if you're not happy about a plan to crack down on parking in san francisco, you are not alone . today, sfmta workers will rally against the impending operation. they say they're worried it will lead to parking officers being assaulted by upset drivers, and they want management to do more to address their concerns. as mta announced the crackdown last week as part of an effort to improve safety for people walking. it would include more tickets for people parked on sidewalks, bike lanes or too close to crosswalks. >> investigators say a car explosion that shocked a daly city neighborhood appears to be an accident. the blast blew up a toyota on west line drive yesterday morning. that was the
6:09 am
sound of the explosion taken from surveillance video from a nearby home. the fbi, a bomb squad and daly city police all rushed to the scene. investigators spent hours combing through the wreckage. different items were pulled out of the car, including a propane tank, which is kind of weird. >> why you would have a propane tank in a car like that sitting there. it's not hot temperature. you're trying to think of what things could detonate a propane tank, police said. >> it appears this was an isolated incident, and there are no ongoing threats to the public. no one was hurt. >> 609 this morning we'll go to san jose, where you have mostly cloudy skies, as we have that morning deck of cloud cover overhead, but our marine layer, not as deep as it was yesterday. so we'll see a little bit more sunshine later on today. but this trough, this dip in the jet stream on live doppler seven, along with satellite is still bringing in that cooler than average air. and now we're tracking this cold front. it approaches us today. turns breezy this afternoon. but as it
6:10 am
crosses through tomorrow it turns windy friday afternoon. so looking at your drive out the door this morning, a lot of cloud cover temperatures basically staying in the 50s up until lunchtime around 9:10 a.m. we'll see some breaks in that marine layer for some sunshine, but all in all, today is a partly sunny day. later on this afternoon. the forecast inland will have those clouds early on, giving way to some sunshine temperatures in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees around the bay shoreline. it's quite cloudy this morning. afternoon highs with a little bit of sunshine low and mid 60s, but it's just cloudy all day along the coast and those temperatures stay cool in the mid 50s all day today the pollen forecast trees remain high, grass is at medium levels and mold at low levels. so looking at the next three days it's cloudy and breezy. today it's much windier tomorrow with that front behind the front, we get a gorgeous weekend, so we'll take a closer look at those wind speeds and preview the entire weekend forecast coming up in just a few minutes. reggie thank you drew. >> coming up, the district 16

6:15 am
policy and finance director for liccardo's 2014 san jose mayoral campaign. liccardo team has not claimed a current association with padilla, so it's unclear exactly, you know, if there's been any coordination, but that's kind of how the political dynamics shape up in this case, that the person who actually came in first, might like to have a two person race rather than a three person race in november. >> padilla is paying for the recount, and it was thought that he could be reimbursed if low won. but because of the unusual circumstances, he will not be refunded no matter the result. >> in this situation, one of the election codes actually says that you cannot get a refund if the two candidates were entitled to be on the ballot in november, and both of them qualify to be on the ballot in november, so there's no refund. >> both santa clara and san mateo counties say they are
