2510 record this past season, made their first trip to the ncaa tournament since 2008. now, smith also cited another reason that factored into his decision to come to stanford the university's top tier medical staff and facilities. where he said he can get the best care for his son beau, who has autism , is a musical artist and actor. ice cube has offered caitlin clark, the biggest star in women's college basketball, a stunning paycheck to come play in his three on three league. clark is a senior guard for the iowa hawkeyes. she is college basketball's all time leading scorer. in about three weeks, she'll be the number one pick in the wnba draft, the highest paid player in the wnba gets about $250,000 a year. icecube is offering 5 million for playing just ten games in his big three league. >> two bodies recovered from the waters following the bridge collapse in baltimore, but the recovery efforts for the other four victims have been put on hold. the reason for the pause as the investigation continues.

>> then he was convicted of a multi-billion dollar fraud, and today he'll learn his fate. we're following the latest on ftx co-founder sam bankman-fried sentencing, plus a push for safer school zones. >> we'll take a look at the new bill being introduced to reduce speed limits near schools and how it would create school walk zones. >> live from jack london square. this is mornings on two the nine today's thursday, march 28th. we're looking live at san francisco's richmond district, the marin headlands, and the weather is changing. it's a little bit strange right now. it's sunny in some spots, it's raining in others. we'll have steve run it down for you in just a bit. would you pay $360,000 for a bachelor's degree? several universities in new england are going to start charging more than $90,000 a year beginning this fall. those include boston university, tufts, wellesley, and yale.

included in this price is tuition housing, a meal plan, books, and other university fees. welcome to the nine andre garcia and myself. it seems a little high to me there. andre >> the fold, your laundry and clean your dorm room and things like that, right? i mean, that is more than most people. most people make in a year that tuition. yeah. 90,000. yeah. yeah. you know, most parts of the country i still say the community college system and is one of the best bargains going. >> you can then transfer to a state or uc school. >> yeah. exactly what i did. and i thought i'm almost cutting that college bill in half. i was fortunate to have help from my parents, so i probably could have gone anywhere. i mean, my grades maybe wouldn't have said the same, but still, for me, it was sort of a practical decision. i think you're also seeing a lot of, you know, 17, 18 year olds think about trade school. you know, we see people exploring their options. back when we were young, it was like, of course you're going to

college, but well, now it's so expensive that you're okay now you got to look at the different options that are available. >> you don't necessarily have to have to go into it. i mean, driving change that price is crazy. those are top schools obviously, but it's still a lot of money. >> it's a lot. it's a lot of money. >> all right. let's go ahead and start our newscast here in the south bay. because happening today there's a big push meant to help drivers slow down when they're near a school. it comes almost two years after a tragedy left a young boy dead. katie's ali rasmus live here in campbell with a new measure that's just about to be introduced. ali i want to take a moment. >> yes. we're outside castlemont elementary school. i'm keeping my voice down because this news conference just got underway. you can see at the podium is state assembly member marc berman. he is introduced a bill that would lower the speed limit around schools to no more than 20mph. the bill would also require school zones to have signs that list the specific times schools are in session, and when those slower speeds would apply. now, castlemont elementary and campbell's, where almost two years ago, september of 2022, an eight year old boy, jacob villanueva, was struck by a car while in the crosswalk on his way to school. the driver

stopped and cooperated with investigators, but the child later died at the hospital. after that tragedy, the city and the district did make some changes to the intersections around the school, adding some of the pylons that you see in the distance. there behind the podium where, state assembly member mark berman is talking about this bill right now. but we're going to listen in to what he has to say. and i'll also hear from some of the school district officials who are at this meeting. again talking about this bill being proposed, that if passed into law, would lower speed limits to no more than 20 miles an hour around all california schools. we'll send it back to you guys some breaking news about the co-founder of cryptocurrency ftx, sam bankman-fried, has just been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for fraud. >> the judge announcing that the sentence reflects the, quote, risk of bankman-fried could do something like this in the future. the bay area man was once hailed as a cryptocurrency mogul who had tom brady and

steph curry endorse his services , but a jury found the 32 year old guilty of two counts of fraud and five counts of conspiracy. prosecutors accusing him of swindling billions of dollars from investors. an investigation continues in pacifica, where police shot and killed a woman. it happened yesterday morning just before 8 a.m, outside of an apartment complex on francisco boulevard, just west of highway one. officials were called to the scene after a man said that his mother had shot him. and when police arrived, they say the woman was driving away in a ford escape and pointed a gun at them. and that is when officers opened fire and the woman was killed. police people who live in the nearby area say they are shocked about what happened. >> i've lived here since 1974 and, i've not seen anything like this. >> it's horrible. i i feel for her family. i pray for her family. >> authorities have not told us what led to the mother shooting

her son. they also haven't released their identities. the son reportedly is being treated at a hospital. >> an investigation by the associated press shows more than 1000 deaths have been linked to police use of force tactics that have been described as non-lethal. the cases include the death of george floyd in 2020 and other similar police confrontations over a decade, the ap says these cases range from physical holds to stuns and body blows. medical examiners cited law enforcement is causing or contributing to about half of these deaths, the ap reports. in the other cases, significant police force was not mentioned while drug or preexisting health conditions were blamed. >> instead, any death in that environment needs visibility. it needs transparency. it cannot be in the dark of night. >> we look at law enforcement and think, well, why can't you just take the guy in? well a lot of times it's not dependent on the officer. it's dependent on whether the guy will go along

with it. >> the ap survey shows the deadly incidents happened in every state. 98% of the deaths were men. most of them between the ages of 30 and 40. deaths among minorities were disproportionately high. >> oakland's new police chief is now in the city. the mayor is promising a positive impact once he's on the job. >> he's not flashy, but he will roll up his sleeves and do the real work. that real impactful work to ensure our community's success. >> before coming to oakland, incoming chief floyd mitchell was police chief of lubbock, texas. >> i'm just going to say my experience in just trying to collaborate and build strong relationships with everyone involved, the adage that everyone has a seat at the table and what we all do and say matters. >> chief mitchell says he's committed to continuing reforms within opd, as that department appears close to emerging from federal oversight.

>> i'm absolutely optimistic. you know, we have learned about his efforts around crime reduction, about community led community involved policing. >> the new chief says he has a lot planned for his first 100 days, including meeting with key stakeholders such as the federal monitor overseeing reforms as the rank and file, command staff and citizens, and business owners in oakland. he's set to start the job in late april or early may. >> let's get over to steve paulson, take a look at your weather. i see what you mean by it being a very tricky day. steve i'm looking at the day and saying, who are you? >> who, who who, who are you? you better. you bet. sal. that's true, we'll start up in the mountains. it looks like the winter storm warning goes for another about an hour and a half. but i think they're about done, the totals came in pretty much as advertised. around 5 to 10in of snow. let's see if. yes just. i just put this graphic together. 30s go home. would ten inches of snow. sugar bowl had nine inches of new kirkwood, eight palisades eight heavenly i think had five, boreal had

eight. so it was it was in line with expectations. rainfall though up in the higher elevations in the russian river, blew past projections here. mount tamalpais an inch and three quarters cazadero russian river inch and a half mount veeder in napa county, inch and 39 100 and ben lomond, santa cruz mountains, an inch and a third. woodacre had an inch and a third bonny doon almost an inch. fairfax 83 100. santa rosa 43. oakland a third and san francisco had 2/10. even though they have lots of sunshine right now. one more panel here kentfield an inch and 18 100 chabot reservoir and uc berkeley botanical gardens, both with over a half inch napa. 4/10 petaluma, a third vallejo, a third, redwood city, 18 100 and san jose picked up 14. visible satellite does show a lot of activity here, mainly peninsula east and south. not so much to the north, although that may change a little later. this strong cell started knocking on the door in the san mateo coast about two hours ago, moving right over the peninsula. went over the san mateo bridge so had a nice traffic shot showing the rain there. now it's heading

east. it's over fremont as well. looks like it's kind of falling apart as it heads over towards livermore and pleasanton. but union city, fremont, newark mill that looks pretty good. and also into the santa cruz mountains running along. see ben lowman there. boulder creek, scotts valley, not much left of that system, but that's what we can expect today. so sun clouds, the next thing you know, it's raining and then back to sun. clouds is raining. 4050 on the temps. it will be a cool day. the strong low here. it's a secondary system that's dropping down for tomorrow. the jet stream is our river of air and you can't have any rain or a storm without that jet stream. and that's what's funneling all this moisture. a strong system for tomorrow will give us wind and rain. a wind advisory is already posted. starts tomorrow morning, goes through early saturday. rainfall from this next system. i'm on. i think santa cruz mountains will take the brunt of this. no doubt about it. that's where the focus is going to be. the heaviest looks like the #### the dynamics are lined up for the santa cruz area, santa cruz mountains for friday night into saturday with more sierra snow. there will be another winter storm warning posted for late friday into

saturday. i hope sunday is okay. sunday morning i think will be. i think sunday afternoon will get some pretty good build ups and maybe some more scattered showers. so today sun, clouds, more rain, 5060. get ready tomorrow. tomorrow afternoon. evening here comes our next system for wind and rain taking us into saturday. >> thank you steve. recovery efforts are now on pause for workers who are missing and feared dead after the francis scott key bridge in baltimore collapsed this week. next here on the nine. the latest on the investigation as now the bodies of two workers have been recovered. and what's hindering efforts by divers who are working to find the other four missing men in operations at the port of baltimore, are at a standstill as a result of that collapse. next, we'll talk with an expert about how supply chains could be disrupted and the effect on consumers, partic ly

earlier this week in baltimore. there are still four more construction workers unaccounted for after a cargo ship hit a support pillar of the francis scott key bridge. authorities say they've paused the recovery efforts for the four others until debris can be removed from the water. this is a live look here. this picture really hasn't changed much since that ship strike happened earlier this week. the ship is still there, as are the remnants of the bridge. that debris is preventing divers from safely accessing the area where the victims are believed to be located. investigators say hazardous materials may have leaked from some of the

containers on that ship. >> 764 tons of hazardous materials, mostly corrosives. >> the national transportation safety board continues to gather evidence to learn more about what happened. that bridge opened back in 1977, while the ntsb reports it was in satisfactory condition before the crash, the agency points to how its design may have factored into the scale of the damage. >> it's a fracture critical bridge. if a member fails, that would likely cause a portion of or the entire bridge to collapse. >> the ntsb says a full report could take 1 to 2 years. a preliminary report could come in 2 to 4 weeks. and while the human toll of the bridge tragedy is still unfolding, many are starting to question how the collapse and resulting halt in operations at the port of baltimore will affect the nation's supply chain. let's get some more insight by turning to

francis edwards, a professor and director of the master of public administration program at san jose state. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> some people say that that port there in baltimore is responsible for $15 billion in economic activity every day. we're just a few days out from the tragedy. what's the long terme prognosis if you will for activity at that port. >> it's going to take quite a while for the bridge to be repaired. and until it's repaired it will be difficult to move items from the maritime side of the port into trucking and rail. so the prognosis at the moment is to redirect traffic, which would formerly have gone to baltimore, to other east coast ports like philadelphia, virginia and everglades. the problem with that is that there train and truck capacities are designed to meet the normal delivery needs of that maritime sector. and now the baltimore sector will be

redirected, causing a greater demand for roadside modes of transportation for all of the goods that come into the port. >> and baltimore in particular, i understand, does a great business in cars and light trucks. so, you know, to kind of give you the personal comparison. this isn't like target's closed. i'll go to walmart. you know, unloading a car and truck is very different than unloading, let's say sacks of rice. i mean, you can't just say we'll just go to the other port, right? >> one of the main products that's received in baltimore is what are called ro ro ro ro and roll off items. and so it's not only cars and light trucks coming from europe, but also farm equipment and other kind of machinery that comes into the us through the port of baltimore. and that's now blocked at the present time. they receive about 750,000 passenger cars each year into the port of baltimore. and

many of them are coming from european manufacturers. so the biggest impact that we will probably see in california is that getting a european manufactured car may be delayed by the need to reroute the goods to other ports. >> and let's say we have a heart set on that european manufactured car. can i guess it'll cost more? >> that's difficult to say at the present time, because the cost of going to a different east coast port coming from europe is not going to be significant, but it will certainly cause delays. and inherently, any time an item is not readily available, the seller is going to have an opportunity to place premiums on the availability of those items and raise prices. >> i remember, you know, something along those lines appeared to happen during the pandemic, when the ports, you know, dramatically cut their business. people were just, you know, scavenging for vehicles. they could buy. and so we saw,

you know, prices certainly jumping in the car market when it comes to looking back at the pandemic, did we learn anything, our ports doing anything differently now because of what we went through in the past 3 or 4 years to deal with something like this in baltimore? >> well, i can certainly tell you that the ports of los angeles and long beach have made tremendous changes in their modes of operation. they've prepared for 24 over seven operations, which they did not have in the past. they've also enhanced their internal capabilities for moving goods through the port more quickly. and they're now saying that they're only at 75% capacity for their current operational modes, whereas they're at exactly where they were before the start of the pandemic. so essentially, they've added about 25% capacity, which will be good for us. but what we should remember is most cars and trucks are made in the united states regardless of the brand, except for the

european ones. and so it will be the european car sector that will be most directly impacted, which may simply mean that consumers shift to other brands that are made in the united states and therefore unaffected by this event. >> i see, i mean, you're making me think of something that we went through kind of during the pandemic, very different on a much smaller scale. we needed some hardwood flooring and everyone we talked to said, i can't guarantee what's coming from outside the country. stuff is stuck on ships. if you buy usa made, i can be sure it's here for you. so that's the way we went. all right. professor francis edwards, it's good to connect with you. you have a lot of good insight on something. i think we're all sort of watching from a distance, but. but you're on the inside. i appreciate your time this morning. thank you. thank you. coming up on mornings on two. the nine. some women who turned to weight loss drugs, such as ozempic, say there is an unintended consequence. well, doctors say about changes to how the stomach works and how that can lead to a big surprise. then addressing a serious health issue in a new way. how a podcas

seen in this picture tomorrow. that was the real rain event. it feels like mother nature gave us a power wash. some good rain here in the bay area. some great snow. headed to the sierra. we'll talk with the sierra ski resort in just a second about what you'll likely see there this weekend. recent high school and college graduates say they lack the confidence and competency of basic life skills. this, according to a new survey from quizlet, surveyed some 2000 adults nationwide. about a third said they don't think they have the financial and core life skills to succeed. meanwhile, nearly 70% say they think they'd be more prepared for the real world if they took nonacademic courses. majority of respondents claim that financial planning overwhelms them the most, and others say their least confident in handling car issues. insurance things like home repairs. so much of this depends on what the adults in your life teach you. and here's the problem if the adults in your life don't have it, that means you probably are not going to get it either. >> i think my dad every day.

>> what did you like learn best from him, you know, even small things like how to arrange my money in a wallet, how to change the oil. okay how to change wiper blades. you know, how to how to cook. you know, just teach your kids things if you can, right? >> yeah. life skills can be very frustrating if you don't know how to handle them. you know, you know, changing a tire. i think i was having this discussion with someone the other day. a lot of people don't know how to change a tire. do you? of course i know. change a tire. i know how to, you know, i mean, back in the day, i'd have any money at to change my tires. i had to change my oil. i changed my brakes on myself, you know, just because i didn't i didn't i didn't have the money to do those things. so but if you have no one to tell you, you know, it's a good place to learn at school, right? but schools don't have to teach these things. and financial literacy too, which is also equally as important, if not more important. >> if i could add one thing like to the curriculum for high schoolers. yeah, even middle schoolers, it'd be financial financial literacy. >> i mean, i don't know why it's not taught, right. it's almost like they want you not to know

how to. yeah. >> it's like the people who have the knowledge hang on to it. and the people who don't have it aren't getting it. yeah. and so you're always in this like, you know, and even now we see these, these kids taking out student loans and now they're stuck story we talked about. >> but you don't really understand it i didn't really understand it. you know fortunately i'm taking you out. but i have family who did right. yeah so and now they're dealing with it, so. >> yeah. well, we can i'm sure we'll revisit this topic. oh, yeah. later on. for right now, a lot of people focusing on baseball as today is opening day for both bay area major league teams. >> yeah. first pitch for the giants in san diego is 110 this afternoon. >> the a's play tonight against the cleveland here at the coliseum. and our bailey o'carroll is in the studio. there's word of a fan boycott is there. >> oh yes yes i think there will be multiple i think they will be pretty large, at least from what i'm hearing this morning. it's kind of the beginning of the end of an era here in oakland. as the a's will host their last opening day in the coliseum, the team has had a pretty public and relatively messy moving process, which will likely result in them calling las vegas their new home. but for the immediate

future, they will sit tight at the coliseum. that is where fans are planning a reverse boycott, meaning that they won't buy tickets to go to the game. instead, they'll tailgate outside. but something new here the parking lot not expected to be opening until much later than normal. not until 5 p.m. that's just two hours before first pitch is set to be thrown. >> i think it's a direct response to the boycott and trying to thwart, our efforts and the amount of fans that will be there, they they the only comment they said was that, it was due to low ticket sales. and so the gate times, you know, and what time they open, is warranted. however it doesn't take into account into account the 15 to 20,000 fans that will be in the parking lot. >> now, organizers of this event actually told us that they're concerned for public safety. they say some people could show up at that parking lot as early as noon. they say they're expecting a line of cars to be backed up, possibly to the freeway, if not beyond, which would create issues for those attending the game. also, those

not attending the game. they say the city is aware of the issue, as is the team, and they are hoping that both sides can kind of work together to hopefully get the lot to open up a little later. i will say i did just get off the phone with the mayor's office and they told me that opd is likely the ones who would know about that, but that the mayor is happy to see fans protesting using their rights and that she, like them, knows that the a's belong in oakland. but nonetheless, there are still plenty of tickets available for fans who do want to attend the game tonight. the lowest price that i did see on ticketmaster this morning. those tickets are going for just 15 bucks, and we will send it back to you guys at the desk. all right. >> bailey, thanks. a rally in san jose was held by nurses at the regional medical center to put a spotlight on critical services that will soon be cut. the regional medical center will be down. the downsizing, the trauma center due to the lower number of patients in need of those services and the regulatory requirements involved. nurses say not having

critical services readily available means patients suffering from a stroke or heart attack will lose those life saving services. >> the reason that we're out here today is to raise awareness in in this community, because i don't think people really understand what's going on, come august 12th, the hospital is going to be doing away with comprehensive trauma services and comprehensive stroke services, and also stemi, which is a heart attack. >> nurses say eliminating the trauma center will make it harder for mainly latino east san jose population to receive vital health care. the regional medical center released a statement saying in part, we will continue evaluating, treating and or stabilizing stroke and serious heart attack patients should patients need a higher level of care we would transport to other local facilities. >> it's more than a year after a levee breach in the monterey county community of pajaro. many residents say they still have not received the help they need, and expanded financial recovery and aid program just started

this week. the levee breach forced thousands of people, many of them farmworkers, to evacuate their homes for weeks and even months. >> they moved out, lost my car. lost your car? yeah. basically this is the main thing. just the car mess. >> yeah. >> she lost all of her clothes and all of her personal belongings when we were evacuating. >> our street was like a river already, and so we had to leave behind our animals. and then when we got home three weeks later, there had been water under our house for 2 or 3 weeks. so the water started seeping under the floors. >> well, monterey county is now compiling $20 million in direct financial aid to both businesses and residents. now, businesses could receive up to $100,000 to offset rebuilding costs. households can get up to $15,000 in cash assistance. >> there's been multiple floods and there's you know, it's always been like, put a band-aid on it and move on, this thing this time is different. the

residents here are more organized. >> pahoa residents are being asked to apply early. there were so many people on the first day of this county program. they were given numbers and asked to return later to finish their applications. >> mother nature is giving sierra ski resorts a perfectly timed fist bump during spring break. many bay area families are planning to head up to the mountains, so for some, it could be the first time they go this year. let's get a check of conditions by saying hello to tucker nord at boreal mountain. thanks for being with us. tell me about what you're standing in the middle of. >> well, i am standing in the middle of the perfect picture up here. i mean, we got one foot of snow overnight. mother nature is not done with winter yet, and we are set up for perfect spring conditions. i mean, i actually snuck out for two laps right before this interview, and this is the good stuff. >> all right, so let's talk about what's coming because there's another round of snow on the way when it comes to people thinking, should i go up on on saturday? should i maybe wait, my kids are off, you know, for spring break next week. tell me about that sort of timing.

>> yeah. i mean, there's a little bit of snow in the forecast throughout the next week. it looks like friday is going to be one of the heavier days for snow. so that's saturday just plan for a little bit of a slower drive, pack a book in the car. expect a little bit of a longer travel time, but it is just set up to be awesome. spring conditions here in tahoe, our snow pack is just about average year. to date, and we could not be more excited because we are not done yet. there's tons of events on the calendar and lots of fun to be had. >> let's tell me. talk to me a little bit about the timing. you know, for so many weeks now, it feels like great snow happened. but then driving up was difficult and weekends were sort of dicey. do you think a lot of people who are coming up to boreal are making it there for the first time this season? >> now, we are seeing some fresh faces up here, which is great. i mean, during the spring is the best time to learn to ski and snowboard as well. i mean, with that sun out, warm conditions, nice soft snow. this is the best time to learn to ski. so we have people coming out here for the first time, and we've got some great beginner packages available for everybody, so it's

not too late to start something new. >> yeah, i like those bluebird days, but i'll tell you, my husband and sons, they'll go when it's actively snowing and blowing wind and i'm like, i'll just be in the lodge. you guys can go. i'll just watch. talk to me a little bit about how this season stacks up compared to last year. and also, have you decided how long you're going to stay open now? >> yeah. so, this season we are, like i said, average snowfall to date, which is great to see. it makes it available for people to drive up the roads to get here, which is great. and, with that, we have said our closing date for the 14th of april, but we're not done yet. we got music inside for those people that like to sit on the deck or inside at the bar area and tons of great events you can check out at ride boreal.com. even though $25 lift ticket on this upcoming friday on the 5th of april, and $5 of every ticket goes back to a local nonprofit. >> yeah, that's. so i'll repeat what you just said, because i did see that when i was on your website next friday, $25 lift tickets. five of that goes to a good cause here. i will tell

you, as a parent of two boys who love to ski, you know it does start to add up a little bit so that can help hopefully get more people up there on the mountain. well, we'll cut you loose again. more snow is heading your way, so it's good to talk with you now. tucker gnawed at boreal mountain, the guys living the dream according to my sons. all right. coming up here on mornings on two the ninth. someone else who is living her dream, a standout athlete from oakland, makes a big decision about life after skyline high, where she's heading for college and why there's e than

a west point cadet from pleasanton has died in an accidental drowning. 21 year old haven morris died on monday while on spring break in florida. officials with the u.s. military academy say police in fort lauderdale do not suspect any foul play. morris is tactical officer at west point, described him as a bright young man with a determination to succeed in all he did. >> a young woman in wisconsin is using her podcast to share important stories affecting young people. >> what was the beginning of your journey? what did that look like? >> 18 year old brittany lipscher

is one of the hosts of the show wish you knew, focusing on the mental health of teenagers. lipscher says this needs to be talked about, but it's often stigmatized because of young ages. >> i don't want there to be anybody who has to go through it alone. >> it's important that people take away from my story. not that i struggled so much as i made it through. >> topics include eating disorders and suicide. the idea for the podcast was born from an event at a local nonprofit. the podcast is now recorded at the offices with the goal of reaching young people who may feel isolated, telling them they have friends who will listen. >> it was an emotional reunion between a family and a police officer. the lancasters are a husband and wife celebrating their official adoption of three boys. the children are brothers who had been living in deplorable conditions with little to no adult supervision. a rookie police officer three years ago responded to a welfare check. officer isaac stevens worked with the police

department and family services to allow a couple who were distant relatives of the boy's biological mother to take them in. >> and they actually met me here at the police department just outside those steps in the middle of the night. after the initial call for service. >> i grew up in inner city, in the tenderloin and, you know, and in that knows san francisco and the tenderloin. no, it's not the easiest neighborhood to grow up in. i felt like a duty to these three kids. >> the couple made sure the boys would stay together and not be separated. the children are also giving her a second chance at motherhood after she lost her first child years ago. >> they've given me life, my life back. what's very rewarding watching them grow and play sports and you know and do good in school. last friday, the couple officially adopted the boys and invited police officer isaac stevens to be their. >> at the court hearing, the family now plans a vacation at a southern california amusement park to celebrate. >> well, the local talent is

historic first game in a sold out stadium by afc announced all 18,000 tickets have been sold for the inaugural match at paypal park in san jose on saturday. players have been attending events all week around the bay area ahead of the home game. they attended a celebration tuesday in san francisco. the players say they're looking forward to playing in front of their fans at home. >> i think that we've had a really good start to the season. our chemistry is there. i think that we're playing really good soccer. you know, obviously there's a lot of things that are going to keep improving and that's super exciting to see where we are already at the beginning of the season and to know that we're going to we're going to be a force to be

reckoned with. the inaugural home opener on saturday will be against the houston dash. >> so far, bay fc has played two games on the road. the record is one win and one loss. also on saturday, join us when fox local presents women's soccer. a new bay area. we'll take a deeper look at the inaugural season of bay fc, how the team is connecting with diverse communities and inspiring the next generation of female soccer players. it airs at 830 saturday morning. >> all right. the owner of a southern california ice cream chain franchise is raising new questions about the state's fast food labor law. the law, which takes effect on monday, requires major fast food chains to pay their workers at least $20 an hour. the owner of handel's ice cream location says she doesn't think the law should apply to her shop, but she hasn't been successful in finding out why it is being included. she said she reached out to an assembly member who wrote the law, but his office suggested she contact seiu. >> seiu was willing to take a look at the bill, offered some

cleanup and offered to look at what we were discussing in regards to not being the intent of the bill, and then upon further contact with seiu, they also decided that their scope was very limited and most likely would not be able to carve out an exemption for us so that we would probably need to write our own bill. >> she also said she contacted the governor's office several times without getting a response . >> a new study shows how inflation is affecting prices at the grocery store. back in 2022, the cost of food went up on average 11. food inflation over the past few months has been slowing to pre-pandemic levels. still, purdue university's latest consumer food report shows many americans are struggling to put food on the table. >> official measures of inflation are either month to month or year over year. consumers might not necessarily

think in terms of years, but they might think of prices today relative to some some period in the past, maybe before the pandemic. >> researchers say that most people don't notice the slowdown in the rising cost of food when the overall cost of living remains so high. >> all right, easter is, of course, this weekend, and americans are projected to spend billions of dollars on sweets and treats this year. data from doordash revealing that more than 30% of adults say easter candy is their favorite of all the holidays. according to the survey, reese's peanut butter eggs is the chosen favorite candy across 34 states. while cadbury creme eggs reigned in 14 other states, including california, as well. >> car insurance rates are on the rise, and one of the reasons might surprise you. according to bankrate, auto insurance rates are up 26% since last year, part of the reason is the increased cost of both auto labor repair

and auto parts. but if you have a smart car, there could be an additional factor. a new york times report found that automakers are sharing driving behavior with insurance companies, such as whether a driver speeds what people have to understand about today's cars is that they're kind of like rolling computers. >> they're gathering a lot of data. they have a lot of intelligence inside of them. they're often connected to the cell network or, you know what? you're at home. they might be connected to wi-fi, the collecting data. and then the question is, did you sign off and say that the data you collect could be uploaded and sold to a third party? >> it is not illegal for a car maker to sell your data if you opted in when you purchased the car, but you can go back to the automaker and opt out now. >> a partnership between two popular streaming services. all the shows on hulu are now available on the hulu tile of disney. this allows users to access both platforms on a single app. hulu's main platform still works, and prices will remain the same. >> and speaking of monthly subscription, they may be

costing you more than you realized. some people say they're tired of paying for unwanted subscriptions, but aren't quite sure how to cancel. consumer reports advises using a finance tracking tool such as skyrocket money to find and cancel subscriptions. you no longer use. one woman says money comes out of her account every month for online subscriptions. she no longer uses from netflix, hulu, amazon prime, peacock. >> i have a editing software link tree to all my social media accounts. i know i pay for things i don't use. i'd love to have something warn me. >> and part of that club, too. last year, the financial trade commissioner, federal trade commission proposed a click to cancel provision that would require companies to let you cancel subscriptions as easily as you were able to sign up for them. and i know for some, like if you have a subscription, you can't do the canceling on your phone. you have to like, sign into the app on your tv to do the canceling or sign in signing on the computer to do the

canceling jump through. so yeah, they make it. yeah, a little bit. you know, i wouldn't say extremely difficult or anything, but they don't make it as easy because i was like, oh, i think i don't want this anymore. >> you could like sign up with the bat of an eyelash, but to cancel. >> yeah, that's going to take a more securitization. right. yes, exactly. and just also like a subscription i have for one service where i have a special that if i cancel it, i won't get that special anymore. so i've been only paying for it all that money that i don't use it that much. but it's so cheap that i'm like, all right, okay. >> i once had to ask my credit card company to say, hey, i can't get a hold of these people. this is no longer authorized. and they did it. >> oh, good. all right. that's a good thing to know. a hot tip. >> yeah. thanks ♪ we're gonna have a real good time ♪ ♪ feel good time ♪ ♪ spreading love and joy and laughter all over the place ♪ ♪ we're gonna have a good time ♪ ♪ we're gonna have a good time ♪
