the students are doing may make them feel good and may look great on social media, and may generate a great deal of media coverage, but it is ultimately

not furthering their cause. >> now, at five, has the message gotten lost? that's the question some people are asking. as protests continue at universities across the nation. the different reactions as colleges balance free speech and disruption, plus tracking allegations against political leaders, how a current investigation is making san francisco officials think twice about sexual misconduct claims and life in the nfl and life after two former 40 niners share their struggles and joys after leaving pro football. and good morning to you. it's saturday, april 27th. i'm zach fuentes. let's start with a quick look at the weather. here's meteorologist lisa argen. good morning. >> hey zach nice to see you. good morning everyone. we are starting out pretty chilly. the skies are clear with temperatures in the 40s and our coolest inland valleys. live doppler seven picking up on the storm track. that is well to the north of us 48 in oakland right now with 45. danville, 47. in livermore, some low 50s from san

jose to fremont and up in the north bay. it's cooler. 41 calistoga, 43, in santa rosa. so compared to yesterday at this time, anywhere from 2 to 10 degrees colder. and we're going to get into some breezy winds at the coast. there's a look at emeryville, mostly sunny skies today. and as we get towards the noon hour it's cool, but the temperatures are on the rise. high pressure is building in mid 60s around the bay. by 4:00. we're in the low 70s inland and it is windy at the coast. we'll talk about a warming trend coming up. zach. >> lisa thank you. this morning stanford is welcoming more than 1000 new undergraduate students for its admit weekend. but this year's event will look different . pro-palestinian protesters remain camped out on campus, with the possibility of arrest and suspension. abc7 news reporter lauren martinez talks to those questioning whether the protests are making progress at the center of stanford's campus. >> pro-palestinian protests continue for a second night. a rope and protester standing by border the lawn. the encampment

sits on on friday evening. it's quiet and calm compared to the other protests that have erupted across college campuses like emory university in atlanta. >> i think there's too much noise there is way too much noise. >> adam swart is the founder of crowds on demand, a firm that organizes advocacy events and demonstrations. his company is not working with groups on either side of this issue. >> what's being lost is convinced people who are on the fence to think about it more in your way. if you look at the gay rights movement and the civil rights movement were both based on bringing in moderate, perhaps even tepid supporters into the fold. >> at stanford, organizers of the protests say they want the university to separate itself from any companies or organizations that are advancing military efforts in the israel-hamas war to get more

eyes on their cause. their demonstration went up during advent weekend, when hopeful students and parents tour the campus. >> many come with the goal of they want to do something with an education to solve problems of the world right? very, very broadly, but we've often seen that at times, universities with their deep financial links are not beholden to what some would call their stakeholders or those that give it that prestige. >> some encampments have led to confrontations and arrests. universities are having to balance free speech and disruption. >> they are all facing the same practical considerations of how to permit protest within their policies, and also find a way to prevent, violence or other, other destructive activities. >> i think what these students are doing may make them feel good and may look great on social media. it may generate a great deal of media coverage, but it is ultimately not further

their cause. >> at stanford, lauren martinez, abc seven news and the university says it started submitting names to the office of community standards that could result in suspension and new. >> this morning, hamas says it's reviewing a new israeli proposal for a cease fire in gaza. egypt officials are now in israel trying to broker a deal to avoid a possible ground offensive in rafah and in the north bay, tents are up on the sonoma state campus online. it's being called a solidarity with gaza encampment organizers are demanding a cease fire and developing news on the cal poly humboldt campus. protesters overnight opened the doors to siemens hall, which has been barricaded since monday. the campus closure has also been extended until may 10th, which is the end of the semester. there, the university has switched to remote classes in response to protesters taking over multiple buildings. it adds that there have been attempts to break into other buildings, as well as vandalism on campus. yesterday was the deadline for demonstrators to clear out of buildings without facing arrest,

and at columbia university, its senate called for an investigation into the school's administration. columbia's president has faced criticism for calling in the new york city police department last week that led to the arrest of more than 100 protesters. camps have popped up at schools across the country since then, and in many instances, police have made arrests. we have continuing coverage of the campus protests across the country and here in the bay area on our website. that's abc seven news.com. we have a link right on our home page. new developments san francisco's democratic party is launching a committee to look into sexual assault allegations by political leaders. it comes amid claims against john jacobo and at least one other leader. jacobo was the director of a housing nonprofit but resigned. and there are multiple allegations against him in at least three women filed police reports. the san francisco police department says it's investigating the cases. there are also allegations against kevin ortiz, the co-president of the latinx democratic club. that's according to our media partner, the san francisco standard. his lawyer denied the

allegations. a new state bill could give a fresh look at cold cases and bring closure to some families. assembly bill 2913 would require law enforcement to review cases of open, unsolved homicides and reinvestigate if needed. the bill's author, assembly member mike gibson, is passionate about this because he lost his three year old son to a hit and run driver that happened over 35 years ago. >> this case is still unsolved. this bill will provide the mechanics for our murders victims families to petition for a fresh examination. >> the bill is currently making its way through the state assembly. well, we're learning more details about the crash that killed a family of four in pleasanton. police say speed may have been a factor in that crash on wednesday night, when the car collided with a large oak tree. that car caught fire after the crash. police say two parents

and their children, both under the age of 15, died. proposed changes to the traffic flow in a san francisco neighborhood are on hold, comes after a crash last month that killed a family of four at a bus shelter in west portal. the city quickly moved to try and improve safety. local leaders say the current plan needs more consideration. they're asking a second proposal be developed with greater focus on passenger zones, traffic impacts and the location of bus stops. some residents were also concerned about impacts on businesses. and happening now, a stretch of freeway is shut down in the east bay and it won't reopen until monday. nine miles of 680 southbound are closed through pleasanton between the 580 connector and koopman road. caltrans is working on road repairs and they've tried to do this twice already, but rain got in the way. and up in the north bay, westbound highway 37 is also closed all weekend. caltrans is repairing the pavement from vallejo to sears point this is the second weekend in a row it's going to be shut down, and there were major

delays on the detour route last week, with some people waiting an hour and a half to go 13 miles. the road is supposed to reopen by 4 a.m. monday. let's check in with lisa. >> all righty. uh- outside right now. temperatures are cold in the north bay. low 40s. but here in san francisco right now, at about 50 degrees, it's going to be a nice day. although the winds are going to be with us not only today over the weekend we do get a warming trend. that's midweek next week as we get into may. stay tuned. my accuweather seven day forecast is next. >> thank you lisa. also ahead, changes to the great highway to clear out homeless encampments. but are those changes working and why? there's some pushback. plus, back in business months after a devastating fire, what the owner hopes will make customers and this takes me back man. it's like taking a trip down memory lane. i didn't know they sold dreamsicles on memory lane. for the flavor that takes you back, get wendy's new orange dreamsicle frosty.

so beautiful out and we're off

to a good day. i'm putting it out there speaking it into existence. all right, well, plans are now set for a memorial for the reverend cecil williams. a celebration of life is going to be held. that glide memorial church on sunday, may 12th at 1 p.m. williams passed away monday, and he'd been the lead pastor at glide since the late 1960s. he's known around the world for his community and social justice work, and fallen oakland police officer jordan wingate is being remembered as dedicated and fearless community and law enforcement members gathered at three crosses church in castro valley. wingate was severely injured while responding to a call at the port of oakland in 2018. a car collided with wingate's patrol suv, causing it to crash into a parked big rig. he died on saturday after being on life support for nearly six years. >> thank you for being a great son and showing everybody that a kid that's not the fastest, definitely not the tallest, not the strongest, who has to work hard to succeed can chase his

dreams. and through tenacity and hard work, be the best at what he does. >> and it's an especially difficult time for the department. after recently honoring the life of another officer, twan lay. while abc seven news is committed to building a better bay area, and one issue we've been reporting a lot is san francisco's effort to clean up homeless encampments. one city leaderuccefully lobbied to change how people are parking along the great highway in parts of the outer sunset district. but as abc seven news reporter tara campbell found out, not everyone is on board with the idea. >> rvs packed along the lower great highway in the outer sunset district, now gone in san francisco's latest attempt to clear a popular homeless encampment. >> we need a functioning city. our streets need to work. we need access for parking. people need to be able to use the parking spaces. >> district four supervisor joel engardio lobbied to put in this angled parking from lincoln to kirkham, an attempt to discourage people from permanently parking. and earlier this week, the plan went into

action with freshly painted parking spots and new lane lines. >> we did outreach to the rv dwellers to let them know that they can't stay here if they need a service. we offered services and so some people took services, some people drove away. if we found a vehicle that was stolen or was unregistered or wasn't able to drive, then it was towed. if you're providing services that require you to do run through all these hoops, that's the reason why it's a disinterest. >> and then to like, then make our lives further difficult is really just it's crappy. stevens dombrowski lives in this camper and says cutting people off from the parking isn't the answer. we're resilient. you know, so it's like it's not like a detrimental on on, like our overall outlook, but it's like it's what keeps people in their position. >> chris de bosco has lived in the outer sunset district for more than 25 years. >> here's the deal about being out in the outer sunset. it's all about being a good neighbor,

and there's a lot of care for people, whether they're homeless or not. >> but she says living less than a block away from the encampment has taken a toll. >> it's truly at a crisis point. >> neighbors describing unsafe conditions, drug use and violence around the encampment. it's not working. >> it's getting dangerous out here. we would really like to know what we can do because all we keep hearing is everybody's hands are tied and want to be clear that not everybody is a bad neighbor. >> and there are arv's and people living in their cars that we actually care for and want to protect. and then there are people who are abusing that. >> tara campbell, abc seven news san francisco officials want to make street markets and other outdoor events easier to produce . >> new legislation could drop fees and cut down the permitting process. it's a continued effort to revitalize the city and support local businesses, so we have to cut the red tape and roll out the red carpet when they're a good ideas to transform san francisco and night markets are a great idea, and we proved it here in the sunset. >> with the first ever sunset

night market, 10,000 people showed up. it shows that this is a great idea to activate our streets, and we need to make it easier to do so. >> city fees can currently cost up to $10,000, depending on the scale of the event. the proposal would allow organizations and small businesses to seek up to 12 fee waivers per year, while today is day three of the nfl draft here on abc seven, the start of a dream career for dozens of young football players . and the next story is about preparing for life. after that dream ends, a couple of former 40 niner teammates are sharing their journey of reinventing themselves and rebuilding their lives. after retirement, eddie lewis and dan bunz played together on the niners in the late 70s. when they retired from the nfl. lewis was 27 and bunz was 30 years old, and both struggled with leaving the game. they loved and struggled even more to figure out what they would do next. >> i felt kind of lost. am i going to make a second career? who am i, your football player? who are you? who are you now? >> i felt like the worst father, the worst husband and a failure

in the nfl, you know? oh these guys just blow their money after failed investment and other setbacks, lewis got into the insurance business and retired after 36 years. >> buttons opened a sports bar in the roseville area and became a teacher for 22 years. they both agree it would have helped if the league offered counseling to former players to help them transition their personal and professional lives, something the niners and other teams now do. >> they just recently had a roundtable session, and the roundtable was, what are your issues? do you have drinking problem, drug problems? i mean, they were throwing everything out there. they said, we want to know. i think they're setting a way for the rest of the league to help players. when they're done, because there is a big transition and buns and lewis helped each other with that transition. >> all these years after teaming up on the field, they're now neighbors in the sacramento suburb of lincoln. they both say it's important for someone to teach young players that life in the real world starts after football. the draft continues today with rounds four through

seven. coverage begins live at 9 a.m. right here on abc seven in the east bay. oakland's horne barbecue is back in business, five months after a devastating fire. the popular restaurant opened a new location at one of the owners other restaurant locations near downtown. last november, the flagship location was destroyed in a fire, which owner matt horne believes someone set intentionally. horne says he considered staying closed, but he's still not giving up on oakland. >> prior to open up the restaurant, we made a commitment to the city as well as to the community. you know, there's a lot of people, despite the challenges that are being faced here in oakland, that support what we do. and we do a lot of outreach. you do a lot in the community and we don't want to turn our backs on, on, on oakland, horne says he now has to smoke his meats at an off site location. >> he hopes the greater police presence at the new location helps make guests and staff feel safe in an old, closed glass factory is giving a unique training space for some future

firefighters. recruits currently participating in the oakland fire academy spent yesterday at that location. fire department organizers say it's a chance to practice under circumstances that are a little more like the real thing. >> anytime we have an opportunity to come out and do the things that we've been working on within our own training division in the real world, it helps us get better at what we're going to do is come to your home, find you if you're down, put the fire out, affect the rescue, and then go home. >> about 35 recruits took part in the exercise. it's part of the 20 week oakland fire academy training session. all right. today, hundreds of people are expected to take part in a walk to end pancreatic cancer in the south bay. purple stride silicon valley kicks off at 10 a.m. with an opening ceremony in san jose. our very own meteorologist, sandhya patel, is emceeing the event and more than 700 participants are expected to walk around almaden lake park starting at 1030, and registration is still open. if

you're interested in lisa for those taking part in that walk, can they expect some sun? because a lot of people are going to be at 700 people with and registration still open. so we could see even more? >> yeah, definite sun, sunblock, hats, sunglasses for sure. it's starting out cool. 51 right now in san jose. but as we go through the morning hours, temperatures are going to stay on the cool side, but we'll begin to see them bump up a little bit from the upper 50s at about eight 9:00 and then into the low to mid 60s as we go through the morning hours into noontime, winds will be out of the north northwest at five. so that's the good news, because elsewhere the winds will be building throughout the day and it is going to be a breezy to windy afternoon soon if you are along the shoreline. and then tonight, those gusts are going to keep up. so looks for a looks for a fantastic morning for that event and the weekend is cooperating. we will be looking at a lot of sunshine and slowly warming temperatures, but we will have those gusty winds at the shoreline keeping temperatures on the cooler side.

48 in sonoma right now it is 44. in danville with low 50s in san mateo, 51 in san jose. and a look outside our exploratorium camera. it will be mostly sunny and milder this weekend. cool and windy at the beaches now those winds could gust upwards of over 30 to 40 miles an hour, especially as we get into sunday and looking at some patchy fog early on from the peninsula southward. and as we get into next week, warmer. in fact, wednesday thursday looks to be the warmest weather, even the coast warming up just a little bit. so here's a look at those winds even this morning 25 to over 30 miles an hour. and then by the late afternoon, look at how those gusty winds spread into marin, also san mateo and right through the delta. and as we get through the evening hours, they are still quite breezy. that will keep the temperatures from dropping too much and then into sunday afternoon. how about that gust of 40 miles an hour point rays? so probably not a great weekend

for the beach. despite the sunny conditions. this is early this morning. that fog just fades away and we'll get into more sun. but with those gusty winds, the fog really will get chased away for the most part. in the north coast there from around marin county. but san mateo, some patchy fog. those gusty winds right on through the weekend. monday though, we're warming up through the mid 70s, so the warm weather will continue as we get through the middle of the week into tuesday. we're in the upper 70s, 70 along the bay shore, even the coast begins to warm up and by wednesday we could see 80 inland upper 60s at the coast. mid 70s bay shore. so the winds here, upper 50s half moon bay, low to mid 60s, san francisco and oakland. that's about average 73. in santa rosa, upper 60s in the south bay. and the accuweather seven day forecast. bright and breezy today. sunny and milder for sunday. a warming trend really gets going throughout the middle of next week. we can see highs near 80

there, mid 70s around the bay shore, and that spring warmth continues into the end of the week. zach. >> lisa, thank you. when we return, a physical barrier led to a solution to prostitution on one san francisco street. but now that barrier is creating more problems. why? first norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year.

to keep sex workers off capp street in the mission district did their job. but as abc seven news reporter luz pena shows, the cars parked behind the barriers are now the problem. reporter. >> these yellow barriers changed. capp street from a prostitution hotspot to a clean street for me, i think works. >> and also it's much cleaner. >> amado gonzalez, owner of balompié cafe, has witnessed the transition. his street has had over the last year. in february of 2023, we broke the news of

capp street residents pleading for the city to intervene after alleged sex workers took over their neighborhood. that led to the installation of these barriers to block traffic and illegal activity from 18th to 22nd streets. is there still prostitution happening here at night? >> yes, there is, but very minimal. very minimal. yes, they mostly enforce on street. >> now the prostitution is no longer a big concern. illegal parking behind these barriers is leading to new issues in the area. the owner of fox and lion bread sees it happen from her business every day. >> people park there because it's like a good parking spot, but then they're getting ticketed. people don't like the fact that you can park there, but then you're going to get a ticket. uh- even though there's no park, there's no no parking signs. >> fire captain justin shaw is concerned vehicles using the barriers as a parking area are creating a hazard for emergencies. >> so with the bollards that are installed, fire apparatus and

ambulances cannot pass through and drive straight through capp street, we're required to go up a block and come back down. the more vehicles there are blocking the roadway, the more difficult it is for us to get emergency vehicles in there. >> recently, sfmta announced their ticketing efforts will increase throughout the city regarding capp street, the agency said in part, we have coordinated enforcement in the area, which includes capp street and vehicles who are not in compliance are routinely cited and towed for parking violations. our abc seven news data team found that since around june of 2023, when these barricades were installed, about 1200 parking citations were given out on capp street between 18th and 22nd streets. but residents say those parking tickets are not doing much, with some city workers even asking armadale to intervene. >> and they come to me and they ask me many times that i can never be a policeman for them, but i cannot do that. >> for many, these barriers are an answer to their plea. but

now, as a fire is asking drivers to move, we need to be able to get through. >> what happens if we can't get through? >> in san francisco, lou pena, abc seven news. >> in our next half hour on abc seven mornings, activists may be to blame for spreading avian flu in sonoma county, an i-team report uncovers that possibility and hears from both sides of the argument and why the biden administration is postponing a proposed ban on menthol you got it? let's go back to the beginning. are you... your electric future. customized. the fully-electric audi q4 e-tron. get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. ♪ ♪ my late father-in-law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd.

to you. and thank you for being with us this half hour. we're going to get to the latest on that storm. but first, let's bring in meteorologist lisa argen. so tragic to see what they're going through, lisa. but thankfully here in the bay area we are seeing a different picture. >> we are. and you know, spring certainly has brought some unusual weather back home where we've had the temperature swings and it's been a cool week. right now we are looking at numbers in the upper 40s with patchy fog along the coast, 50 two half moon bay, 48, in oakland and up in the north bay. it's chilly, with 43. in santa rosa. napa is at 44 as well as mill valley, so that brings us anywhere from 2 to 10 degrees colder. this morning. as we go through the morning hours, we'll have that patchy fog from the peninsula, and then by the late morning hours into the early afternoon, temperatures beginning to climb through the 60s. and by two 3:00 we're in the low 70s in our inland valleys, a few clouds in the north bay. and then the fog sets up again at the peninsula for a windy night. tonight we'll talk about when it's going to get warmer and the extended

reporter darya abinger has the testimony from three key witnesses, a part of trump's life before his presidency, following a full week of testimony, the jury and donald trump's hush money trial will have a three day weekend to reflect. >> friday afternoon, trump's former personal assistant, rhona graff took the stand. she was one of his longest serving employees hired back in 1987, admitting she had a vague recollection of spotting stormy daniels in trump tower. graff considered trump's gatekeeper, said she was responsible for updating the company contact list. trump denies he had an affair with daniels, but prosecutors say she was paid $130,000 to keep quiet before the 2016 election, and trump illegally falsified business records to cover it up. graff also testified she entered contact information for karen mcdougal, a former playboy model who claims she had a year long affair with trump. trump denies the affair, but david pecker, former publisher for the national enquirer, testified

that at trump's direction, the tabloid bought mcdougal's story but never ran it. in order to protect trump's political campaign, pecker also took the stand, answering questions about a conspiracy to catch and kill news stories that could be damaging to trump. when he ran for president, the defense, claiming the national enquirer's relationship with trump was standard operating procedure in the tabloid industry day nine of trump's trial resumes next tuesday. darya aldinger, abc news new york and new developments x hollywood mogul harvey weinstein, whose 2020 rape conviction was overturned, is set to appear in a new york courtroom next week. >> weinstein is scheduled to appear wednesday in manhattan supreme court. his court date is the first step towards a retrial. the district attorney's office says they're willing to retry the case if the witnesses are willing to participate. weinstein remains in prison for a 2022 rape conviction in a los angeles case. the biden administration is postponing a proposed ban on menthol cigarets

indefinitely. it says it will take more time to consider feedback, including from civil rights groups. studies have shown the menthol market primarily targets black communities. experts say the white house's pause could be an attempt to avoid backlash ahead of the election. could animal rights activists be responsible for spreading avian flu at sonoma county poultry farms? a new investigation by the state department of food and agriculture finds that is a possibility, the activists tell us. regulators are trying to divert blame away from problems inherent in the poultry industry. here's the i-team's dan noyes. >> animal rights activists have targeted sonoma county's chicken and duck farms for years. this is an i-team report with undercover video from an activist who got a job at reichert duck farm in 2014. >> the things i saw were just absolutely horrifying, and they they still haunt me to this day. now, a report from the california department of food and agriculture says it's plausible that activists spread avian flu during security breaches inside the duck barns

on october 24th and november 14th of last year. >> bill mattis of the california poultry federation tells me. the avian flu outbreak was devastating for the poultry industry in sonoma county. more than 250,000 chickens and ducks were killed. >> when you have a depopulation of a ranch because of bird flu, the ranch is disinfected and cleaned and then it's got to stay empty for a while for it to make sure it's not doesn't have any more diseases. so that farmer is out a few months of actually work, in come the activists from direct action everywhere posted video from the farms last fall. >> we have gone back to sunrise and reichert and we have documented more criminal animal cruelty, and we have saved several more lives, including elsie and river. >> now they say poultry producers and state regulators are blaming them for shortcomings in the industry. >> they're trying to deflect blame onto the whistleblowers so that people don't look at the reality of the situation, which

is that factory farming is a recipe for disaster when it comes to public health. >> the state report also raises concerns about biosecurity, different farms, sharing personnel and equipment. and it says the avian flu most probably came from wild birds and that the wind can spread it across different farms. >> and one of the things that i think is important to note is that these animals in these facilities are so sick. we have documented extensive diseases that they have that makes them incredibly vulnerable to any sort of pathogen. >> the trespassing in an animal, a place that does business and tries to raise animals really hurts the industry, but it also hurts the consumer for the i-team. >> dan noyes, abc seven news now, several of the activists have been prosecuted for trespassing. >> they say they'll continue to do whatever it takes to share their perspective. all right. we still have a lot more ahead on abc. seven mornings, you get a panda, you get a panda, you get a panda. it's not just san francisco anymore. china makes it official with the san diego
