right now at 5:30, growing concern over the spread of avian flu, why the feds are now ordering testing on milk cows. what investigators are revealing about the explosion that launched a federal investigation in daly city. also happening in a dramatic legal plot twist, the sex crimes, the conviction of harvey weinstein once considered the most powerful producer in hollywood has been overturned by a new york court. laura aguirre has more on the unexpected ruling and what reasons the appeals court gave for their decision. >> reporter: the stunning reversal comes four years after hollywood power producer harvey weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in a new york prison on multiple sex crimes, including rape. the seven-justice new york appeals court voted 4-3 to overturn his conviction with the appellate judge writing the trial court erroneously allowed

testimony of uncharged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants. during weinstein's new york trial three women were allowed to testify against weinstein as prior bad acts witnesses, telling the court weinstein also took sexual advantage of them as they tried to break into the film business. while prior bad acts testimony may be admissible under federal evidence rules to improve intent or motive, judges have wide discretion to determine relevance or is too prejudicial. judge rivera wrote the court compounded its mistakes by letting weinstein, who had no criminal history prior to his conviction, to be cross-examined on the women's allegations, painting weinstein in a highly negative light with jurors. rivera said the synergistic effect of these errors was not harmless. lawyers for weinstein, who has consistently maintained his innocence, had this to say about thursday's ruling. >> that's how important this case is that america will uphold the laws of this land

for everyone. no one's above the law or beneath the law either. >> reporter: the manhattan district attorney's office says it plans to retry the case. >> no one of weinstein's accuser is jennifer siebel newsom, wife of gavin newsom. the governor was asked about the overturned conviction today. >> let's just make something crystal clear. harvey weinstein is a stone cold predator, a rapist, twice convicted. those that seek to somehow exonerate or explain away harvey weinstein's behavior should also be ashamed of themselves. >> weinstein is now in prison serving a 23-year sentence for the 2020 ruling. he will remain in prison, though, because he was separately sentenced to 16 years for rape in 2022. investigators say there is no threat to the community in the wake of a car explosion in daly city that happened yesterday afternoon. you can see the doors and roof of the toyota are completely blown out and inside, a complete mess.

cameras caught a police robot taking a propane tank out of the car, which is believed to be the source of the explosion. police still have not said what sparked it. governor newsom was out in yolo county today celebrating a new milestone in the state's ongoing effort to wean itself off fossil fuels. newsom says california's battery storage capacity has hit an all time high, surpassing 10,000 megawatts. that's more than 1,000% increase in storage capability since the beginning of his administration which newsom says is critical to reaching the goal of 100% clean electricity by 2045. the environmental protection agency announced some of the toughest pollution restrictions today. coal fueled power plants will have to control up to 90% of their carbon pollution by 2035 or shut down. if those new standards do go into effect, it could eliminate about 1.4 billion metric tons of carbon

pollution through 2047, but the fossil fuel industry and republican-leading states are expected to challenge the ruling saying the measure goes too far. the fda is ordering the dairy industry to test cows moving from state to state for the bird flu to keep the virus from spreading. the agency says they found fragments of the virus in samples of grocery store milk and want to conduct more research to find its source and make sure the particles were killed during the pasteurization process. however, medical experts say some people wouldn't be okay with the usda testing for the virus on their farms. >> some of the workers are not trustful of the government, so don't want to come forward for testing. everybody needs to be working better together. >> the fda says it's unlikely that anyone catches the bird flu from drinking milk. researchers need to conduct more tests to be completely sure. the nfl draft is underway and current buffalo bills player damar hamlin has a new role after his cardiac arrest

but now part of his daily routine revolves around his heart after he suffered cardiac arrest during a game in cincinnati in january 2023. >> make sure you take preventive measures, you know, get screening and just check up on your health, but also know the, you know, reactive measures. >> reporter: hamlin recently took part in an event in new york city as captain of heart mates, a partnership with a medical device company abbott to build a community of those who know the struggle of heart conditions, including 8-year-old tony daly from las vegas who underwent surgery to close a hole in his heart when he was born premature. >> we like to think of him as our miracle baby and as a way of spreading it back to everybody that may be in a similar situation. >> reporter: hamlin's cardiac arrest on the field helped a national tv audience see the importance of access to defibrillators and learning how to perform cpr. >> you could learn cpr and you can save a life. you're just as good as superman.

>> reporter: cardiologists say it's also imperative to keep your heart healthy so emergency steps won't be needed. >> the simple stuff really matters. so blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, staying active, not smoking, eating a healthy diet, maintaining good stress levels, sleeping well. >> reporter: that resonates with lakeisha brown from houston, when developed advanced heart failure and received an abbott heart device. she sees how hamlin's heart crisis has improved awareness. >> people are becoming more aware. if they aren't feeling well, that type of thing, they'll go to the doctor i think a little bit more. >> reporter: she knows firsthand taking action is vitally important to recovery. >> hamlin is visiting hospitals across the nation to raise awareness about heart conditions. straight ahead in sports, happy nfl draft day. first time in three years the 49ers have a seat at the first roundtable. and this young lady pitches for the cal softball team,

let's take a live look at uc berkeley's falcon cam. the last of four eggs has finally hatched atop the university's tower making this year the most successful breeding season in all eight years that annie, the falcon -- i think that's her -- is as long as she's lived on top of that bell tower. three chicks broke out of their shells monday and the fourth came out wednesday during the university's hatch day celebration, perfect timing. next month berkeley's cal falcons plan on fitting the chicks with id bans to track them and will also hold a naming contest for the little chicks. it's been so fun, paul, to watch them care for these little babies and one of the birds will take off and go find food and then the other one will have them kind of keep them nestled underneath them. it's so sweet. >> yeah. we need to come up with some clever names for a quartet of falcons.

>> pretty cute. they don't even look real they're so cute. >> and so fluffy once they get out of their little eggs there. we'll keep you updated on falcon watch. >> good parents. let's look what happened so far today. we saw a little sunshine, some blue skies earlier this afternoon, our view from salesforce tower as of about 1:00 this afternoon. the clouds have rolled back in, including lower clouds closer to ground level and closer to the top of salesforce tower towards the tail end of the loop, that fog and low cloud cover spreading across the bay with a little patchy drizzle possible. temperatures 57 degrees at half moon bay to 71 degrees in santa rosa, the only spot that was actually up to our normal high temperature for the 25th of april. things aren't going to change a lot tomorrow except the wind will get even stronger and the potential for some drizzle, maybe a passing shower as this next storm system which is directing most of its energy and moisture towards the pacific northwest is going to be close enough to definitely

squeeze the atmosphere over the bay area resulting in stronger winds, but also close enough to potentially send a shower towards us. let's check out futurecast. a lot of gray indicating the clouds, very little green, the very few showers that futurecast models are trying to squeeze out. the bulk of activity tomorrow looks like it's going to roll down through the central valley, a few thunderstorms possible there. we'll just see some of the patches of drizzle, a few drops on the windshield. your odds of picking up more than a trace of moisture are lower than 20%. in the afternoon and evening hours we'll clear out, should see plenty of sunshine as we head through the weekend. winds are noticeable this evening. we've had gusts in the 30 to 35-mile-an-hour range. those winds will die down late tonight, but the wind will still stir the atmosphere around, that and the cloud cover keeping our temperatures from fall doing far. then the winds pick up heading into tomorrow afternoon, some spots close to 40 miles an hour. it will be blustery friday afternoon. the wind will make our cool temperatures feel that

much more cool. temperatures start off mostly in the low 50s, the coolest spots dipping to the upper 40s. then we warm up, well, we try. here's a look at tomorrow's forecast highs, running 3 to 6 degrees below average, only mid-60s in the santa clara valley. even the warm spots on the map tomorrow i think struggle to approach 70 degrees, just short of 70 for antioch, mostly mid-60s inland in the east bay, low 60s fremont and redwood city, along the coast and half moon bay upper 50s, barely touching 60 in san francisco, today's high and tomorrow's as well, mid-60s for most of the north bay. with skies clearing out faster the farther north you go, you have better odds of upper 60s in a few locations by tomorrow afternoon. looking a bit farther down the line, while we warm up early next week, a few days of above average temperatures, the six to ten-day outlook from the climate prediction center which takes us from may 1st through may 5th has a good chance of below normal temperatures returning to the bay area by the end of next week and first

weekend in may. that is also associated with a decent chance of wetter than normal conditions. keep in mind this time of year average rainfall, normal, is pretty much zero. even if we get a couple hundredths of an inch of drizzle, that would technically qualify as above average rainfall. let's look at the seven-day forecast. we'll start inland where temperatures will be at their warmest the first half of next week, mid- to upper 70s and around 80 degrees by tuesday, some unseasonably warm weather the last day of april. the warm-up will be short lived and it's not going to be quite as steep closer to the bay. i think temperatures will get up to or above 70 degrees a couple days monday and tuesday. along the coast i wouldn't anticipate too much of a warm-up, but you can look forward to more sunshine breaking through the clouds earlier in the day beginning saturday. that will be the trend through the middle of next week before we get into that below average temperature pattern by the end of the week and following weekend. >> thanks. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00. we switch over to sara donchey.

>> hi, liz. at 6:00 we're following new developments on the tragic crash that killed a family of four in pleasanton. people in the community are starting to gather at the scene where two parents and their two kids lost their lives last night when their car crashed into a tree. juliette goodrich is talking with neighbors. she'll be live with what we learned about the crash and the road's history of dangerous accidents. plus the tough retail environment in san francisco has caused hundreds of small businesses to pack up and leave. we hear from one bay area native who moved to los angeles, why she's not looking back and what's being done to help businesses that are still here, the news at 6:00 coming up in ten minutes. let's head to vern for a look at sports. >> we've got the nfl up top and one of the high holy days of the league, draft day underway. it's been three years since the 9ers have been in the first round. we all remember trey lance, don't we? san francisco has the 31st overall pick for now. no surprise with the top pick, the

chicago bears took quarterback caleb williams of uc with the second overall pick, the washington commanders stepping in and took lsu cornerback jayden daniels. pivot to the nba, new hardware for steph curry named this season's clutch player of the year. okay. it's not the larry o'brien nba championship trophy, but another well deserved award for number 30. nothing rhymes with orange, so ryan orange you could say is one of a kind. on the cal softball time until you find out who her grandfather is. so as the saying goes, the apple might not fall far from the tree. >> it's always good. >> reporter: good has been great for cal pitcher ryan orange. the second year transfer is looking to make a mark with the program. her grandfather, john carlos, made

a mark to the world 56 years ago. orange has been aware since the sixth grade. >> i think i brought a book to one of my teachers and she's like oh, this is your grandfather and i'm like yeah. now you know why i'm so serious. my mom talked to me and ran me through what his name means and what he did. >> reporter: when your teacher reacted like that, did bs all of a sudden become as? did you carry a little more weight, a little more panache? >> no. >> reporter: that's great. numbers don't lie. this is a top 20 team, a 30-win team and orange says this february tournament at lafayette was a turning point. cal players chose to kneel during the national anthem. six bears players were verbally harassed with racial comments. >> that could have been the point of the season that really divided us, but at the end of

the day i feel it brought us closer. it lit a fire kind of because we went on a very hot run after that actually. >> reporter: cal won the next 11 games, 16 of 17. through it all orange kept thinking what grandpa said. >> you have to stand for what you believe in and you have to know what you're standing for and always stand for regardless of the repercussions that come with it. >> i think she's on the right path. i tell her just make sure that you realize where you go thaw you have this cloud over your head and the cloud is called john carlos. >> reporter: what do you think you get from him in the bloodlines? >> speed. >> reporter: speed. >> yeah. >> reporter: i would have thought confidence. >> no. his confidence is a whole other level. he has like out of this world confidence. >> 20th ranked cal is on the road for a series at arizona state. john carlos makes some of the home games. her coach,

chelsea spencer, says of her smart, funny, leader, and a joy on the team. you got to be a good fit to be on that team. ryan checks off all the boxes. >> no question. i'd love to hear the pep talks that grandpa may give her. >> with the confidence he has, there's a lot of pep talks. >> thanks so much, great report. up next, el farolito is known for their delicious food, but the san francisco restaurant is getting a whole lot of attention now for its soccer team, the part-time players who just took down the pros.

soccer interest in the bay area is on the upswing all thanks in part to the newly formed oakland roots as well as an older club from san francisco whose name you're most likely to see on the back of tacos, as you are on the pitch with with loureen ayyoub. >> reporter: it may have started with tacos, but it's moving towards new goals. every kick gets him closer to a new goal, gabriel with the el

farolito amateur soccer club in san francisco. the team started in 1985. at 25 years old, even after college, gabriel says he's grateful to have an outlet to continue to do what he loves with a community he's grown to love. >> means a lot, brings peace of mind to me being able to step on the field with my teammates, like to call them brothers. >> reporter: a team of brothers of all ages and backgrounds. the club team plays in the national premier soccer league and while the players are all passionate about the sport, most have regular day jobs to allow them to continue to do what they love. as for gabriel, he's been working hard to balance being a construction engineer by day and soccer athlete by night. he hopes to play professionally someday, but sometimes even during practice those work demands continue. >> it's a whole different world being an engineer in the field of construction. it's way more stuff going on. when you come here, it's all just

brotherhood. >> reporter: a brotherhood that evolved when the original owner of el farolito, salvador lopez, opened his first taqueria in the mission. now with 12 locations throughout the bay area, diners who frequent the chain like taylor burks love supporting the sport, too. >> i love soccer. i'm a soccer player myself. so it's good to support soccer wherever i can and the burritos are good. so it's a win/win. >> reporter: speaking of winning, from the open cup to their strong standings in the npsl, just how far can el farolito go? according to gabriel, all the way. he wants people to know just how passionate the bay area soccer scene is. >> there's great talent here. they've got all the talent there is. more scouts should come out here. >> reporter: talent, passion, and limitless goals. >> the team's next game is may 4th in san francisco against the oakland stompers. that's it for the news at 5:00. cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich starts right now.
