still tracks from when the car dragged out of here. you can where burns out and set this tree on fire was certainly gruesome. and from the limited information that we have from the pleasanton police department, we know that multiple people died here. in fact, we're told from a community member that entire family may have been killed in this crash. there was only one car involved in based on the layout of the aftermath. it's clear to me that speeding was involved in. that's not uncommon in this area. the crash happened at around 9 o'clock last night. it appears that just as foothill road switch from 2 lanes to one just south of stone ridge drive the car veered off the road, slammed into a light pole with signage. and then barreled into an oak tree. the tree in the ground around it are burned out and they're still foam on the pavement like likely spread by the fire department. so there were flames and it seems like they got pretty high and not surprising to learn that several people died shortly after we arrived on scene this morning. a father with kids in

the local school district said he did not know those who died but believes children were killed and he dropped off a sign saying rest in love and may your family find peace? >> family was not much we can do to support just like just trying to show support for game. everett. >> we're that there were 2 kids possibly involved in this one in middle school and one in elementary school and our photo journalist malcolm jackson actually looked into one of the car parts. in fact, several of the car parts, they're still out here and he was able to deduce that it was an electrical car that was set on fire. that's the car that was involved in. this were not going to say the brand name at this but certainly we're hoping to hear back from the police department. we have reached out to the pleasanton police department, facebook of this briefly, but didn't share much. we also reached out to the alameda county coroner's office. they're not confirming any information right now and

neither is the livermore pleasanton fire departments. so information is scarce at this time, but certainly an ugly scene. and we believe children were killed live in pleasanton philippe djegal kron. 4 news. we thank you. >> and now from california to texas, illinois, even georgia, pro palestine. the campaigns have been spreading. police have been stepping in demonstrators seeing today on campuses, including ucla, the university of texas at austin, northwestern and emory students are protesting against the israel-hamas war in gaza and also against their schools, financial and academic ties to israel and weapons makers. some demonstrations have gotten. confrontational between authorities and those demonstrators and dozens of people have been detained. protests calling for a cease-fire in gaza. now on day 4 on the uc berkeley campus, demonstrators have created a tense city in front of sproul hall, all in solidarity with

>> because we see that these laws on the books are are not enough right there tie the chart. what's happening now? we believe in doubling that would give them mark tolls in their tool box to go those that are continually putting others lives at risk. keeping parents from dropping off their children school, things like that. >> the california highway patrol is in favor saying these protests prevent first responders from doing their job. the executive director of the council on american islamic relations spoke out against the bill saying that lawmakers are using the pretense of transportation and public safety to quell first amendment activity. the bill passed in the transportation committee and now goes to the assembly appropriations committee. and the parents of a hostage in gaza was taken by hamas is from the bay area. and the parents are saying they were grateful to see that he was alive more than 200 days after he was kidnapped. >> we're here today with a plea all of the leaders of the

cool and we're a little windya too. so you can see this one out to 23 miles per hour in san francisco. but, you know, these numbers are jumping up in oakland to 26 miles per hour. 22 up in novato. you get the idea we're getting a very strong onshore flow. that's not only going to be with us through today, but through tomorrow. and even part of saturday. 2 things happening here. we've got low pressure here. got another one that just exited. and then we've got high pressure building. so we start to get a little bit of a wind gradient. now, what's going to happen behind this system after goes through as are going to see the winds get stronger and that will be tomorrow afternoon and evening. right now you can see just a little bit of a sprinkle made its way through the north bay may be making the roads just a little bit slick for your ride home. so watch out for that. but, you know, we should just be that slight chance of rain. i think this is really what's going to be the sticking problem for us in the next 24 hours take you into tomorrow. just show you how these numbers get even higher. you see some of them gusting upwards of 35 miles per hour. so not just of the coast, but also all across the bay area. and it continues a bit into saturday. it should pull back a little bit. but still, that's going to be a

gusty day, at least for the first part of the day. temperatures right now we're running a little cool. not surprising, right? as you can see. but we made it up 7 degrees to 70 degrees in santa rosa. i'll be back in a little bit. we'll take a look at our 7 day forecast. there's a warm-up in it. spoiler alert. i'll take that spoil anytime. all right. coming up, efforts to modernize and improve bay area transit. we're going to walk you through a critical bill that's heading to the 2026 ballot. >> also, all state could start writing some new home insurance policies in california. but what insurance

day in like a little insulation and you don't get as cool in the evening. so. >> yeah, little fun fact but you know or gray out there, we've got the clouds roll in and we've got a little break this morning and now we're we're not getting cake, as you can a little bit of moisture kind of tracking through the north bay. and it may not be actually hitting the ground, but it's there. it is definitely in the air. so we are sitting cool today. once again. 57 degrees in downtown san francisco. we made it to 70 degrees in santa rosa. but you see some of those low to mid 60's. kind of a good portion of the bay area. and as we go through the night tonight, we do have a slight chance of a shower. we've seen a little bit, as i mentioned, pop up in the north bay. you can see as we get into tomorrow morning in the overnight, even tonight, still a bit of that possibility and we get into tomorrow afternoon. this is about noon time. watch what happens here. there is a chance of kind of a heavier line rolling through now. models picking up in this doesn't mean that it's exactly going to be over antioch, but it just means this is going to be a little bit to the east of us. but there's a chance that we could see some of it through the bay area. so that's why we got that chance in the forecast. once we're

done with it tomorrow night, we're done. and as you can see, it's not a big expectation that there be much to it. as far as the rain is concerned. but the wind, the winds, the sticking point, folks, because we're breezy today and tomorrow we're going to pick that up even more. so get ready for this because we could see gusts upwards of 30 35 miles per hour. and you know what that means if your trash cans that secured of something on your patios, that security can end up in your neighbor's yard sometime. so just be ready for that. and you might feel when you're driving across some of the bridges tonight as well as tomorrow. even into saturday. we're going to stay a little bit breezy, but notice temperatures lifting up on saturday. the sunshine coming back on saturday. then we get into sunday monday tuesday and you see the warm-up that's going on here. so we've got quite a nice forecast in our 7 day, but we do have to get through the little chance of rain. and also i think the wind is the thing to watch out for today and tomorrow. back to you. all right. all state could soon start to resume some new homeowners policies in california, but only >> if the state department of insurance will allow it to use catastrophic modeling when

>> all right. there's a lot of effort now to try to revitalize downtown san francisco. and there's a bill that being put out there and it's proposed by assembly member phil ting. and it's aimed at increasing foot traffic. also taking up some vacant space inc spaces so they can give housing to people in need. and we're joined now by assembly member phil ting to learn more about this. thank you so much for joining us here this afternoon on kron 4. thanks for having me. it's great to be here. yes, we have 2 things that we want to talk about with you. but i want to start with this new bill for downtown san francisco. you're trying to convert these vacant and empty business buildings into housing for people that did san francisco voters just do something about this stunt. the city just give incentives to these companies because we know it's so expensive to try to transform these you know, bill bathrooms and the city is already trying to do something. but what does your bill do? that's different. >> well, this will be

additive. so state law would allow the city to create a downtown revitalization district. what that means is that we would be able to take older office buildings can convert them into housing and then with that increase in the value of the property tax that increase the tax prep, property, taxes would stay with the revitalization district and then we could use that to convert morehouse. so it's sort of a very virtuous cycle. so clouds the value increase. we would keep that increase in value and then use that to really help increase the amount of housing. the whole point. this is really less about housing of the house critical. it's really about economic revitalization and making sure we have more people in downtown san francisco. we currently have about 30 million square feet of office. space vacant. and with that, we know small businesses hurt the coffee shops, the restaurants people who do dry cleaning any kind of small business, many of them have closed because there's no traffic. there's no

foot traffic out you're really trying with this is you're saying to activate these downtown districts. but >> why are these companies need tax incentives? it's so expensive. social one, it's actually more advantageous an office building. own an apartment building. >> so they're already losing a ton of money by doing the conversion from office, 2 residential. but because they look at what the future holds, perhaps it will be able to rent out the office building or get the rent that they would like this incentive to convert to housing. we'll be very helpful to their bottom line. what the city gets, his more people in downtown. we're trying to look at a variety your very creative ways to increase foot traffic increase people's presence in downtown. and that's really the people who live. there is one critical area. what we saw is during covid the neighborhood to thrive because people are working and living at home and we see restaurants. we see other small businesses really thriving in a variety of our neighborhoods. but we're seeing is downtown that's

really missing. >> and finally, on this topic how do you see this playing forward? what's the status of where this is now for a b 24 88, right? well, this bill got out assembly, housing, assembly, local government. >> it's moving to assembly appropriations next. and then our hope is that you can get out of that committee and onto the floor. we have told end of august to get it to the governor's desk. i hope that the governor sign. >> all right. the next bill, you're very busy with bills. here is a prison capacity management. and we know that the state is facing humongous deficits when it comes to the budget. and you're thinking that by is it closing or consolidating several prisons across the state that we might be able to save some money in the budget. >> what's both our legislative analysts estimated that we could save about a billion dollars by consolidating and or closing additional prisons. and right now we're facing a 70 billion dollar budget deficit. we're looking for a variety of different ways to

save money. and this would be 1 billion dollars ongoing. plus, potentially 2 billion dollars in capital savings because many of these prisons are all didn't want to keep them up and running. we have to invest in their which we haven't really done in quite a while. so we want to make sure that we being, you know, very smart, fiscally by consolidating and relief, really managing the capacity of our prisons by saving those dollars. we can continue to spend the money into education health, public health, human services, a very key programs for our state. >> which prisons are you thinking in? will that not be bent overcrowding at the other facilities? >> yeah, it's a great questions or prison population has dropped in really over the last 10 years. we're at low point in prison population for quite a while. what we don't do is tell the department what to do or how to manage their capacity. what we do in the bill is tell the department

right now they 13,000 empty beds and we said over the next 5 years and every year you have to reduce the number of empty but every year get to keep producing. never against to get down to 2505 years. and you can do that through consolidation. you can also do that through closing prince. and so it's really up to the park. >> and which were the 10 state prisons that you think that would. be closed? >> yeah, we did the list. it's really up to the department to determine they're the ones to determine the few. the 2 presidents who they slated for closure. it's really up to the department to look at a variety of factors. whether it's age or location that any number of issues that they take into account. >> a summit member, phil ting, so great to have you on this afternoon to talk about these issues. appreciate your time come back on again soon. >> absent, thanks for having me. >> all right. also now there are some big changes coming for airline passengers as new laws try to crack down on hidden fees and make it easier for passengers to get a refund. those refunds will be automatic. if your flight is delayed or canceled these new

refund rules starts 6 months from now. so it's not going to help during summer travel, but it could come in handy when thanksgiving starts to roll if you are delayed by more than 3 hours for a domestic flight or 6 hours on an international flight, airlines, we forced to give you an automatic refund instead of a voucher travelers that we spoke with sfo today say they're happy that they're going to get these protections. scramble to find other. >> airlines flights to get on and then have to pay for that and not get refunded because you chose not to take that flight. so, yeah, it's been frustrating. >> all right. we're going to talk about our forecast now with this live look outside of what's going on the city of san francisco. we're just watching that fog. those clouds is creeping closer and closer. how's it going out there today? kyla? yeah. they haven't gotten too far. we're also watching the clouds kind of build up as we look at lake tahoe. and if you take a look at the lake, you can see it's getting a little windy, too, because you start to see the waves on the lake and they are

seeing the weather turned there right now is we're expecting a little rain and snow. you can see it's 52 degrees right now. the clouds are and we've got wind. >> out of south, about 40 miles per hour. and as we go up here, too, a diamond peak, you can kind of see that they are seeing a little bit of cloud cover there to not really seeing the rain coming down yet. having said that, i do expect that we will see that tonight into the overnight hours and then it will become snow showers as we get into friday and a little bit of snow on the way. so let's talk through that really quickly to show you futurecast as we get into the evening how this starts to pop up and then in the overnight hours and those temperatures start to go down, that we're going to see that snow really get going. this is going to be, you know, spring systems is not going to be a lot of totals. but you can see throughout the day on friday, we're still going to be dealing with that. and then by saturday, it's out of there. so here's what holds them looking for about 3 to 6 inches up at the peaks. so again, it's a spring system. it won't be a huge amount. but you can see here that it is something to look out for now. meanwhile, the day we are looking out for the winds today tomorrow, the cloudy

skies will be with us again tomorrow as well. and a slight chance of a shower as we get into saturday. you can see the sunshine is back. the wind will stick around for a little bit longer there. but by sunday, we're looking really good. and then a warm-up on the way next week. i'll be back in just a bit. we'll talk more about that. thank you. we're just hours away from the start of the biggest offseason event for the and fl the draft. the niners have a pick in the first round kron 4. sarah wilson is here with us now with more. >> aaron, who you think the niners are going to take? >> you know what in the last hour, just seen things have gotten very interesting. so the three-day draft is just hours away in, although the niners don't have a super high pick at this moment for the first time, they do have a first-round pick for the first time in a couple years, at least. so the niners do pick at 31 as it currently stands. but that could change. right now. predictions are leaning toward picking up a wide receiver. however, in the last hour, things have gotten even more interesting within that niners entertaining

conversations about deals, not just for brandon aiyuk but possibly deebo samual as well. so they want to move up in the draft, possibly. and one of those teams that they've been having conversations with. well there picking as early as the top 10. so like i things have gotten very interesting because lynch did say that they would have to be blown away to deal deebo. so the wide receiver, heavy draft class is pretty nice. as for are you heading into last season of the last season, rather of his rookie contract? it's no secret that the super bowl loss last season was devastating for many reasons. but it's also no secret that was pivotal for the niners success in the playoffs last season as well. which means that his stock has gone up and considering that brock purdy will be due for a big payday after this season. in addition, of course, to having to pay guys like deebo samuel, if he's that dale, george kittle christian mccaffrey, you know, being able to afford would maybe do present some challenges for the niners. so expect that the niners, we'll try to go for a low-cost field

receive or to add to the mix. if they stay put at 31 so possible picks for that position. include xavier le get out of south carolina stock whiteout, you know, he has some versatility. he's it is game is actually kind of similar to brandon aiyuk. he stands at a 6, 1, coming in at about 221 pounds and they have 80 mitchell out of texas. now this whiteout won 2 national championships for georgia before transferring texas where his athleticism and ability ability to sniff contested passes really made him a standout there. now, guys like brian thomas out of lsu or even possibly xavier worthy, another longhorn at a texas standing at 5.11, one 65 or they've all been floated around as possible picks at that. 31 pick forty-niners. now that being said. right now, trade deals for iu. are likely now gm john lynch did say earlier this week that they want the opposite. they're hoping to keep to take a listen to what he had to say. know i know.

>> a couple years ago, there was a lot of talk about another receiver deebo and i said the same thing. but with b a, you know, be a i've i've communicated on a couple occasions on many occasions are wishing our wish is that he's here and part of the niners for the rest of his career. you know, we're working through that you know, as such, you know, i was a player once and i never liked my business being out in the public. and so i'm going to respect that. i'm not going to speak for their side. can say we're having good talks and i'm just going to leave it at that will focus on the draft here today. >> funny how that sound. his aides in just 2 days with the fact that both of them in the last hour have been in conversations to possibly. >> the peak now obviously finding new homes could possibly be a reality for both brandon or deebo. more likely brandon, less likely deebo. but we don't know. as we know, draft day is full of chaos and a bunch of rumors that we just speculate until we know for

sure. once everything takes place tonight, starting at 5 o'clock. so just stay in until i'll toss it to you as try to keep up with all cases in the road was going on around the nfl draft and the niners. it's just day started yet. oh, new now at 3, the oakland roots now have a new player of this is former united states men's national team player dom dwyer. he is set to join the team. he's a veteran striker who played. >> 10 seasons in major league soccer and also won the mls cup with sporting kansas city. he is the biggest name. the east bay club has signs. welcome to the bay. >> landmark ruling of the too era has been reversed. coming up, why new york's highest court overturned the conviction of harvey weinstein. plus a proposal that could change the way a bill is crafted negotiated behind the scenes break it down. when we come back. new

>> a look at the laws being made. they deserve transparency. that's why bakersfield gop assembly member vince fong says he introduced assembly bill. 26 54. it would ban the use of non-disclosure agreements or nba's in the legislative process. in a nutshell in nba's an agreement between at least 2 people are parties binding them to secrecy, preventing them from disclosing specified information often deemed sensitive and confidential. legislation would prevent lobbyists, lawmakers and state employees from entering into such an agreement when crafting a negotiating bills. long's proposal came up for a hearing in the assembly elections committee where he urged members to back the legislation. it is my biggest concern that we are actually trying to shield the public for information and and from legislators as well. that is critical to our votes in to help laws are being made. >> and so nda is being used in the the law, making a crafting of laws that that process has to be discouraged and

eliminated. but the bill has its opponents, including the california restaurant association and the california chamber of commerce. they came out against arguing some bill negotiations require confidential discussions to build trust and create consensus confidentiality agreements between private parties can often help. >> to allow a difficult issues and difficult. >> issues to be worked through between parties that don't necessarily always a great in the end. bush and has built the bill did not pass while the loan to republicans on the committee voted in favor of it. the democratic majority blocked the bill noting it was published only last week giving members little time to review it. >> this rushed process which necessitated expedited hearing by this committee prevented this bill from receiving the level of scrutiny and the analysis that bills normally receive. >> before being hurt, this is a disappointment. if nba's are going to be allowed to be used moving that's wrong. and so this bill is dead for this year. but every been told by
