pretty good fog surge has been made by a system moving into the south, so shades of cool today for everyone in. after a brief little warm up for a couple of days, but that's a big fog bank once it retreats back. sunny and breezy and cooler. 50s, 60s to a few mid 70s. all right. frank is here at 7:00 on a friday and it's not friday light or is it? >> you know, it's getting better. you could have gone with a touch of gray to just throwing that out there. you grateful dead fans? okay well, good morning everyone. the bay bridge should be friday light, but we do have an accident on the san francisco side. let's take a look at our maps here. heavy volume across the span, both on the oakland and the san francisco side. due to that accident. 101 southbound. just as you leave the bridge into the city. so a slow roll across the bridge and let's take a look at those highways that are feeding the bridge. there's the bay shore, e shore freeway and berkeley emeryville, and that traffic is pretty moderate. and once you get past that and you head to the toll plaza, that is

didn't do much damage in fact, the head of the international atomic energy agency, which oversees nuclear activity all around the world, confirms there is no damage to any nuclear sites in iran. it's believed this is a result of an attack on israel last weekend, where iran carried out more than 300 drone strikes. israel's defense forces say they didn't do much damage either because it intercepted most of those missiles. the u.s. immediately condemned the attack on israel last weekend, but secretary of state antony blinken would not offer any comments on this latest reported attack on iran. >> i'm not going to speak to that except to say that the united states has not been involved in any offensive operations. what we're focused on, what the g7 is focused on. and again, it's reflected in our statement and in our conversation is our work to de-escalate tensions. >> blinken spoke from the g7 summit in italy. he says countries involved have been speaking about de-escalation for all conflicts, including in gaza

and the war in ukraine. blinken did also mention more sanctions were coming to iran, specifically to its uav programs, its steel industry, as well as its ministry of defense. president biden expected to speak from the white house later today on the topic of union workers. we'll have to wait and see if he'll have something to say on israel and iran. reporting live from the newsroom. i'm james torres, ktvu , fox two news. >> james, thank you. the fbi is on high alert for potential threats against the american jewish community just before the start of passover on monday, the fbi director, christopher wray, says the agency is concerned that lone actors could target large gatherings. high profile events or symbolic or religious locations raised, cautioning that the recent hostilities between israel and iran could spill outside the middle east with attacks from other countries or in the united states. the fbi reports three times more anti-jewish hate crime investigations since the start of the war between israel and hamas, the us vetoed a

united nations security council resolution to accept palestine as a full member of the un. us says the veto doesn't mean the us is against a palestinian state, but that it should be a result of direct negotiations between israel and the palestinians. palestinian leaders condemned the us veto, saying it will encourage israel to continue its war in gaza. >> now, for all the latest developments about the conflict in the middle east and the protests that have followed, you can always go to our website, ktvu dot com. time is 705. more details this morning from oakland about the incident on wednesday, where oakland police shot and killed a murder suspect from sacramento. ktvu now confirming he was 33 year old domonique broat. he was wanted for the shooting last month of his girlfriend as police were conducting a welfare check on her on wednesday, sacramento detectives tracked brought to west oakland, and they asked oakland police to help capture him. >> the door suddenly opened. he

came out with a gun, raised it and pointed it, and the shooting occurred. i think in this case, there is no question that this suspect posed an imminent threat of death or serious injury. when the officers fired. >> this was the first deadly shooting by oakland police since november, according to authorities. that's when a police internal affairs sergeant shot and killed a man who pointed a gun at him near oakland city hall. >> safety improvements could be coming to one san francisco neighborhood following the deaths of a couple and their two young children at a bus stop last month. ktvu andre senior here in studio with the changes, the city is now considering. andre. >> well, garcia, we can tell you this morning that that deadly crash in san francisco's west portal neighborhood that took place on march 16th, just more than a month ago, was prompting changes here. now, police say a 78 year-old woman crashed her suv into a bus stop right near the west portal muni station, killing a couple and their two kids. we told you about that

when it happened, investigators have not identified yet what caused the deadly crash, and prosecutors are still debating whether to file criminal charges against the driver. but city leaders are telling san francisco's transit agency that there needs to be major safety improvements in the west portal neighborhood. >> mayor london breed and to district seven supervisor mariano melgar, who have asked the sfmta to work immediately to improve traffic safety near west portal station. >> the plans call for banning all left turns on busy west portal avenue and there would be several other new traffic restrictions on the streets surrounding the bus stop where the family was killed. but some people who live and work in the neighborhood have some concerns about the safety plan. they question whether these changes will prevent a similar tragedy in the future. >> i was shocked because it i don't think it solves the problem of what happened to that poor family. it's just going to increase traffic all up and down west portal.

>> one incident should not be a one that makes so many changes at the same time, so the department will be considering the changes that will be coming up soon. >> we'll keep you posted on what will happen next in this neighborhood after that very tragic accident. garcia will send it back over to you, senior. >> thank you. as expected, san francisco is suing oakland airport for its plan to change its airport name to san francisco bay international airport. the lawsuit seeks an injunction against oakland and travel related services, such as airlines and rental car companies, from using the proposed new name in marketing or advertising. one trademark law attorney says this case is about protecting consumers from confusion. >> our time is all we really have to compare are the names, and they tend to give the first two words a lot of weight because that's the first thing that the person hears, that a consumer sees on their screen when they're ordering their lyft or when they're booking the flight. and so the fact that the two first two words are really

similar, it's going to really lend itself to a finding of confusion. >> the lawsuit accuses oakland of trying to capitalize on sfo's reputation and pull in travelers who weren't intending to fly to the east bay. oakland mayor shengtao did not respond directly to the lawsuit, but the discussed and the discussed but discussed the proposed name change. sorry, she explained the rebrand could offer a number of benefits, saying notably, it could support the airport's efforts to secure more direct flights to additional destinations, enhancing convenience for travelers and potentially boosting tourism in oakland. >> okay, gasia time is 708. there will be a huge traffic disruption in the north bay starting tonight. part of highway 37 between vallejo and sears point will be closed for repaving work. that will send a lot of traffic to the richmond-san rafael bridge. it all starts at 9 p.m. tonight and westbound highway 37 will close between vallejo and sears point. it's scheduled to stay closed until 4 a.m. monday morning. now, to get around that road closure, many drivers will

probably head over to the richmond-san rafael bridge. however, caltrans also recommends going north on highway 29 and west on highway 12, and then south on highway 121. >> all righty, dave, so if you are going wine tasting this weekend, do take note because that could get clogged up pretty quickly. we're going to take a look at south bay on your morning commute. it has just been fabulous down there. a lot of green on the screen. they get a friday light, a plus one little accident there. that's highway 87 in san jose, but pretty much incident free and traffic flowing pretty well except for one on one. you got one little slow spot there. let's head north, take you up to the san mateo bridge. people getting out of the east bay, heading over to the peninsula. and that is pretty heavy volume at 710 on a friday. but it is moving along. and if you head a little further north from there, highway 880 in oakland, traffic moving into oakland at a pretty

london breed made the announcement on social media last night, when she was on a week long trip to china. this that in an effort to bring more business and tourism to the city , mayor breed called the process of getting the pandas to san francisco a collaborative one that required months of advocacy and coordination. the idea was actually originally floated at the apec apex apec excuse me summit back in november, which did take place in san francisco. >> we have some cute cuddle, early black and white beauties coming to our city. ladies and gentlemen, welcome pandas to san francisco. >> for engineers from the beijing zoo were at the san francisco zoo meeting with officials there to look at potential enclosures and discuss where the bears will exactly call home within the zoo. it's likely that their new home will not be ready until 2025, after san francisco could renovate

their existing facility. abc news reporting that it will cost about $25 million for those renovations now typically, pandas are on lease for about $1 million annually for two bears. that money does go towards conservation efforts. also, abc news reporting that the zoo will start major fundraising efforts to help pay for that new enclosure. updated enclosure now, the only pandas in the u.s. right now are actually at the atlanta zoo. no word yet on when exactly the pandas will arrive, or just how many of them will make the trek from china here to san francisco. reporting live. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. bailey. state lawmakers could soon make it easier for renters to find an apartment that will accept pets. assembly bill 2216 would prevent property owners from imposing a blanket no pet policy. landlords also could not charge extra fees for pets. the director of oakland's animal services says the number of people giving up

their pets soared ever since the city lifted its covid eviction moratorium last summer. the shelter now averages about $350 a month, more than 100 over its 2022 numbers. >> we've seen a doubling of the number of people that are surrendering their pets, and that's largely due to the housing crisis. >> i allow pets, because a single family, right? you got the backyard, etc. but i will tell you, the dogs have destroyed the place, they've chewed up holes in the side of the wall. they've chewed up all of the drip system. so it's going to be pretty expensive to return that unit back. >> another bill would mean that landlords can only ban pets for public health or animal control concerns, among other justifications. >> all right. our time is 717 city leaders in redwood city are thinking about permanently closing off parts of broadway to cars during the pandemic. the city closed part of the road to cars, an idea that became pretty popular. but a vote to make that stretch of broadway a permanent pedestrian mall has been pushed

back to may. the city council decided to delay it to hear more questions and get comments from the public. now, that change turned out to be an economic boom for downtown businesses. if the permanent change is approved, the city will present a new design for that area this coming summer. fans of taylor swift got a huge surprise overnight. >> the pop singer dropped two new albums, all my morning on monday, starting on and swift's new album the tortured poet's department, came out at midnight eastern, as expected. then two hours later, the singer announced she is releasing a full second album with 15 more songs. at the same time, there's potential for this to be my favorite album ever because we've just seen this growth in her. >> after her six year relationship, and i'm so excited for her and her scorn is our magic. >> this is swift's 11th studio album, features special guest appearances from post malone, florence and the machine. it also comes in the wake of her

emanated frozen oysters. so far,

there are 11 confirmed cases of the virus. it was found between march 31st and april 1st in people who ate the oysters. the county officials are still trying to learn more about these imports and frozen oysters. >> we don't know the extent to which these oysters have been distributed. we're still working with the california department of public health and the fda to understand the where. this has all been distributed. >> now, this outbreak comes just four months after raw oysters imported from outside the country were linked to 41 confirmed norovirus cases in san diego county. >> prince harry, the son of king charles the third, is formally confirmed. he is now a us resident. it's been four years since harry and his wife, meghan, walked away from the royal duties and moved to a villa in southern california. since moving, harry criticized the royal family in his autobiography and netflix series . the formal acknowledgment further separates harry from his royal duties, as an oakland volunteer based group is taking

mornings on two. >> well good morning. thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark i'm gasia mikaelian. >> let's get out the door to a little chillier but still pleasant for the most part. steve that is correct. >> a pretty good fog bank. it will be cooler today. sunny, when i paddled into work this morning, i went right by the areas across. dave, didn't you as well? yeah, yeah, i did a back. that's right. yeah, right. looking over from ktvu view here, look at the low cloud deck, though. 50s on most of the temps here. it's going to be noticeably cooler today. the higher clouds are gone. so if you get the sun, you're good to go, but you'll notice a breeze. the shades of cool though, for everyone today as temps come down a good 510 degrees here across the board, it does look like similar on saturday with a bump up on temps on sunday. but today 5060s by the coast, 6070 bayside and inland. all right. frank is here at 730 in the morning. good morning, you new old same what weren't you kitesurfing on the estuary? that was. that was last saturday. >> oh that's right. yeah. your wetsuit still in the newsroom.

you might want to kick, sir. all right steve happy friday everybody. apparently the bay bridge did not get the friday light memo because it's a bit of a mess right now. one accident is the culprit. as we take a look that southbound 101, it was just cleared as soon as you get off the bridge. and of course, that's pushing back traffic all the way across the span. all the way onto the oakland side. but the toll plaza actually looks fabulous. if these people only knew once they get past the metering lights, it will be a bumper to bumper drive to get into the city. but now that that is clear, hopefully the bridge will clear up here on this friday. that's traffic 730 your time. let's get it back to garcia. >> thank you frank. bart's now required to do a better job of keeping its station elevators from breaking down. this comes after the transit agency agreed to settle a class action lawsuit from riders with disabilities. katie rasmus is live at the walnut creek bart station to explain for us the changes bart is going to have to make here. ali >> well, garcia, some of those changes include repairing

station elevators that are down more quickly as well as upgrading all 87 station elevators in the bart system throughout the region. this is one of them. here behind us. we're at the walnut creek bart station now imagine if a station elevator is broken. there is no way for someone in a wheelchair to get up to the platform and take bart. and that was the basis of a class action lawsuit brought by several bay area groups representing people with disabilities and mobility challenges. that lawsuit was filed back in 2017. it claimed that bart was violating the americans with disabilities act by failing to properly maintain its elevators and escalators. now, under the settlement agreement reached and announced in federal court yesterday after seven years, bart is now required to dispatch a repair person within an hour. if an elevator or escalator at one of its stations breaks down and it has to come up with a strategic plan to renovate and update all of its escalators and elevators in the next decade. now we rode the station elevator here at

walnut creek with one bart rider who reminded us that you don't have to be in a wheelchair to benefit from this agreement. she gave us her thoughts as she was taking the elevator with us up to the platform. >> it is very dirty and it needs to be sanitized. it's small. this is what the smell is not good at all. i do think it's very important. there is a lot of elevators that are out of use sometimes. usually in the morning when i'm going to bart, i can hear it say, oh, this elevator is out of use. and it's like, even sometimes for me, i'm like, great. so, you know, i think this is amazing. and i think they need to do it quicker and faster. >> bart spokesperson this morning sent us a statement in response to the settlement. it says, quote, that bart is working with advocates to advance a series of improvements to elevators, escalators, training and other things like accessible path signage. we will continue to work to make bart as accessible as possible for all

our riders. end quote. now, as part of the settlement, bart did not accept any wrongdoing, but it does have to pay the $825,000 in attorneys fees to the groups that brought this lawsuit. but according to the settlement, in the terms of this agreement that was unveiled yesterday, bart does have a little bit of time to make that system wide upgrade to all of its elevators. the lawsuit says that they have about 15 years to make some of those improvements live in walnut creek. ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, ali thank you. time now. 733. well, tonight, the family of mario gonzales will hold a vigil marking exactly three years since he died. >> this follows last night's announcement by the alameda county district attorney's office that it will file involuntary manslaughter charges against the three alameda police officers involved in his in-custody death. now, the coroner's office had ruled gonzales death in 2021 was the result of a combination of methamphetamine and the stress of being restrained by police, former da nancy o'malley cleared

the officers of any wrongdoing last night. the current district attorney, pamela price, reversed the decision following a new investigation. >> if people don't believe that police officers or law enforcement can be held accountable, then witnesses won't cooperate. we can't do our job without witnesses. we won't be able to administer justice if the community doesn't trust that the system is going to work for everyone. >> the attorney representing gonzales mother tells ktvu the family is grateful the da's office decided to revisit the case. >> the family is elated to know that mario's death was not in vain, and that the people who needlessly caused him to die, to not be able to hug his child, to never to be able to say hello to his mother. those three officers are being held accountable, and it's long overdue. >> the three officers are james fisher, eric mckinley and cameron leahy. they could face up to four years in state prison

if convicted. the attorney for officer leahy has released a statement saying, quote, there is no new evidence. this is a blatantly political prosecution. the officer's actions while taking mr. gonzales into custody were reasonable and necessary and lawful, and his tragic death was the result of drug toxicity, not criminal misconduct. >> our time is 735 the woman driver who hit and killed a four year-old girl near oracle park last summer will not be going to jail now. the crash happened back in august at fourth and king street. police say a little girl was in a stroller when she and her father were hit in the middle of the crosswalk. the 71 year-old driver was charged with vehicular manslaughter, but after officials met with the victim's family, that driver will serve two years of probation and 400 hours of community service. she also cannot drive again until she completes a driver safety class. >> some female inmates are being released early as part of a plan to close the women's prison in

dublin. the federal bureau of prisons announced the closure of fci dublin on monday, where eight officers have been charged with sex crimes. attorneys tell ktvu some of their clients who had a short time left on their sentences, are either being released early for good behavior or put on house arrest, sources tell ktvu. all women there will be relocated by this weekend. >> time now. 736 in november, californians may have a chance to vote on a measure mandating more jail time for crimes like smash-and-grab, robberies and drug offenses. a group called californians for safer communities announced it submitted 900,000 signatures to get the measure, called homeless drug addiction and theft reduction act, on the ballot. it would essentially roll back parts of prop 47, which was approved in 2014, and reduced punishments for some property and drug crimes. >> our businesses are being attacked every single day, and many of them are being forced to be closed. our employees are

getting hurt and some are being killed. and guess what? when all these businesses are being closed, many of our employees are losing their jobs and it's actually hurting every one of us . >> the measure needs 550,000 verified voter signatures in order to get on the november ballot. >> happening today new protections for renters go into effect in concord. the new laws were approved by the concord city council back in february. the just cause for eviction has several new rules for landlords, including one that requires them to pay thousands of dollars in relocation assistance for no fault evictions. a group of community members had tried to get the issue on the ballot, but didn't gather enough signatures in the north bay. san rafael is working to stop a surge of evictions in one part of that city. >> we've seen many buildings being sold to, you know, other investors that are just looking for an investment opportunity that will become, you know, an opportunity for displacement for our community. >> the city council this week heard from those supporting a

new ordinance for the canal neighborhood. more than 30 families have been evicted in the past two years as a result of homes being torn down for new development. the new law prevents evictions based on most health and safety renovations. landlords must also pay for temporary excuse me for tenant moves. >> your time now. 738 several groups are coming together. they're forming a safety net to keep an eye on saturdays for 20 event at san francisco's hippie hill. now this is a collaboration between the psychedelic church of ambrosia, business owners from the haight ashbury neighborhood, and several nonprofit groups. they plan to provide water, medical and portable toilets and trash pickups. at that gathering, city says they canceled the official 420 celebration this year because there was a lack of funding. however, this coalition believes people will still show up for a celebration now. san francisco police will be watching out for intoxicated drivers over the weekend. police say research shows that well

publicized dui checkpoints and saturation patrols can reduce the number of crashes involving impaired drivers by as much as 20. the stats also show 30% of drivers in deadly crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. the people who are caught driving impaired can expect jail time, as well as more than $10,000 in fines, fees, dui classes and other expenses. all right, let's get out the door. >> 739 where are you most concerned when it comes to our friday morning commute, frank? >> well, we're going to head to the south bay. we've got a couple of accidents working that way. gasia. good morning everyone. happy friday, one on one northbound at 880. you can see it there on the right and another one at 82 north. both in san jose. that slowed the roll down there a little bit. on what has been a pretty good day volume wise down in the south bay. this is pretty heavy though. san mateo bridge on a friday at 740. that should be a

tremendous value in the three of them being warriors for life. >> it matters that kobe was a laker for life, that that's meaningful to the laker franchise. i think it would be incredible if these three guys could play their whole careers here. >> i agree, by the way. the warriors were also trying to cut their spending. they paid $400 million this season in salaries and the nba luxury tax for high spending teams. that may include a smaller contract for klay thompson and not picking up the $30 million option on chris paul . we'll see. all right. our time is 745. a well-known online company is bringing its furniture and decor to an actual store. >> also, apple is removed whatsapp and threads from its app store in china. pam cook back in studio with dollars and cents today. >> a very interesting move. now the speculation is that the move is in retaliation for the calls to sell off or ban tiktok here in the u.s, apple reports the chinese government requested the

apps be deleted, citing national security concerns, which is exactly why us lawmakers say they're going after tiktok, which is owned by a chinese company, ahead of the opening bell this morning, procter and gamble reports sales were not as strong as expected in the first quarter, but earnings still came in better than analysts estimates, and the bay area's netflix announced 9 million new subscribers for the quarter, cracking down on those shared accounts is working, taking a live look at the numbers. dow jones having a pretty good day. it's had a pretty rough month, but it's up today. up about a half of a percent 214 points. the s&p 500 still struggling. hanging on to that 5000 level just barely 5005 down a little bit. the nasdaq also down about three quarters of a percent to 15,480 new suitors have emerged in a potential bid to buy paramount. sony pictures entertainment and apollo global management group are discussing the possibility of acquiring the

studio now. this comes as paramount is also negotiating a potential merger with skydance, which is owned by david ellison. familiar here in the bay area, he grew up here and is the son of oracle's larry ellison. apollo previously made a $26 billion offer to purchase paramount, but paramount chose to continue its talks with skydance. the terms of the new joint bid are still being worked out. it is a first for a company known for selling furniture and home decor online. wayfair has announced it is opening its first physical store next month. it will be about the size of a typical costco. it will be located in a shopping mall outside chicago. wayfair's expansion into a physical store is a bit of a gamble, though it has been struggling with sluggish sales online recently, and san jose based archer aviation says it will begin testing its electric car air taxi in india next year. archer says it is in the final stages of getting approval from the federal aviation administration in the us, which it expects will

was like, oh, anyhow, the bar the owner of bar louis says she has nothing against children. she is a mom herself. she calls her no kids rule strictly a business decision. >> that's got to be on like it. >> we should put that on there. wow, that is interesting. >> okay, well, we have to put frank mallicoat on right now. he knows about your friday morning commute. frank. >> like it or not, dave. like it or not, here i am. happy friday one and all. we're going to take you to the east bay working an accident. highway four westbound at bay point. let's take a look at the traffic map. this is near the san marco exit. no injuries. two cars involved. both have pulled over in the san marco off ramp. but that has caused a pretty healthy backup. on what was a friday light day. all the way to pittsburgh and moving even further to the east. and a lot of those cars in route around bay point on their way into the monta pablo valley and concord and that's causing a little bit of traffic as well. pretty heavy volume there onto 242. some good news. the bay

bridge toll plaza, easy rider onto the span. but we did tell you about that earlier accident that has since been cleared in san francisco, 101 southbound right off the bridge. once those cars get on the bridge, they're going to have a good 20 minute ride to get into the city. time now is 750. let's say good morning, steve paulson. good morning. >> you know, when i go to the grocery store and i go, oh my gosh, there's gasia. oh my gosh, i bet i bet star struck, let me tell you. all right. we have a huge fog bank in place. i mean, i was just looking at the visible satellite. this is the biggest one i think we've seen so far this young season. so it's making a major impact here on the temps. they'll be significantly cooler today. where are you? you there you are. look at that right there. that's a big one. that means everyone's cooling down now. yesterday it was only patchy coastal fog. and well it came back last yesterday evening especially at the giants game. well now it's moved. well inland and it's making a pretty good push. now if you're far enough inland you get the sunshine. the higher clouds have kicked out so

you don't have to worry about that. but i think you'll notice the breeze there. so santa rosa, redwood city, lafayette, san jose, down we go on the temps today, 68, 68, 70, 72. i threw in the towel on santa rosa. there's too much fog. that's usually a sure sign they can drop there. one of the few locations that can really drop when the fog comes in. 40s on a few temps, mainly 50s onshore breeze. it's easy to see from the city. richmond out to davis point out to travis fairfield and there it is also oakland, napa west wind, even sfo out to livermore with the west wind. but if you don't have the fog, you're like, yeah, it looks good today. it does. our little mini warm up is over. big fog bank, sunny, breezy, cooler today 60s, 70s. we'll end up with our temps today and also nice on saturday. it does look warmer on sunday. i do think we'll get some back into some 80s before another cooldown. no rain yet, but i think by this time next week i'm talking about it. that's the way it looks. cooler friday changes, big fog, bank pouring in low clouds or sun. the low clouds may be slow to burn back here, so 50s, 60s to a few mid 70s,

but with a breeze well inland. they're gaussian. >> thank you steve. a debate is pitting chinatown members against each other. what one group is asking for from the best line dancing group in the west as it tries to boost business in the area. then new developments in the race for a south bay congressional seat that ended in a tie for the number two position. the latest on a recount and the ballots bein challenged, nd ha it

in use in new york city in donald trump's criminal trial. 12 jurors have now been seated, seven men, five women. today's jury selection continues to pick alternates. now, one excuse juror in the case says she was shocked to find out which case they were being considered for. >> everybody was shocked when we saw him on tuesday for the first time. you know, we couldn't believe that that was the case. so we were shocked and frozen. >> prosecutors could start presenting their case early next week. time at 755. three suspects now behind bars, accused of kidnaping and torturing a man in san jose earlier this year. investigators say the victim was kidnaped back on february 13th, then was held against his will inside a house in the foothills of east san jose. police say the three suspects tortured and assaulted the victim several times before finally letting him go.

>> it goes to show that people are really out there doing violent crimes, but a robbery unit detectives, because they did such a thorough investigation, they were able to say, you know, not in san jose, 2600. >> now, investigators don't believe the victim knew the three suspects. police say the home where they lived was also raided for illegal gambling as well as retail theft. well, police in redwood city will soon add drones and other military equipment to their force. city council approved several new purchases for the police department, including less lethal launchers, long range megaphones and eight drones. there were some mixed views during some public comments about it, but most of the people are in favor of the move. the price tag for the equipment more than $115,000. well, ktvu has confirmed several ballots are being challenged in the vote recount of the district 16 congressional race to replace retiring congresswoman anna

eshoo. it's not clear how many ballots are being challenged and the reason why former san jose mayor sam liccardo received the most votes in the march primary election. two other candidates tied for second place assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian. they will both appear on the november ballot unless the vote recount leads to a different result. now the recounting process began on monday. santa clara county says this recount could now take up to two weeks to complete because of the ballot challenges, as it is. 758 some of the most creative and innovative products are made right here in the bay. >> we use crushed roses. we use eggplant for our our eyeliners and mascara. we use, the deep black from argon, and then we use the deep purple from purple carrot balm. >> the beauty is this slogan

that juice beauty. that's where the goal is to be better for your skin and the planet. and one of the secret ingredients is grown on their farm in sonoma county. another locally grown company has taken over the family kitchen and dining room, but the idea started in the shower. >> it's just really cool, really empowering to have my own business. it's like fun to tell everyone they're like, oh my gosh, i never would have guessed. and stuff. i was talking to my teachers about it. i was like, that's so cool. >> their business is tackling the huge piles of plastic that ends up in the landfill, or even in the ocean. one shampoo, conditioner and lotion bar at a time. now you can see these great made in the bay stories and much more this coming sunday morning at 830 right here on ktvu. >> well good morning. eyes on israel. iran and the middle east this morning, an apparent israeli drone strikes inside iran. and where this missile landed is a cause for concern. a

report on the new developments just coming into the newsroom. then a new legal challenge to the fed's attempt to close fci dublin. more on the emergency temporary restraining order filed this morning. trying to block the transfer of the women who remain behind its bars. >> plus, we have some cute, cuddly black and white beauties coming to our city. ladies and gentlemen, welcome to pandas to san francisco. >> yeah, the pandas are coming back to the bay. we're live from san francisco, tracking what needs to be done before those little animals arrive from ktvu. fox two news. this is mornings on two. welcome to mornings on two at 8:00. as you look live across the oakland estuary. does not look too nice. this morning we see some fog, overcast skies right now as you look toward the skyline of san francisco. so i'm andre senior. thanks for joining us. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. it's friday, april 19th for sure. it's chill in the air. a difference from yesterday even steve paulson a big change, no doubt about it. >> you guys. you pointed out

there's a big fog bank in there. head out to sfo a little bit of a break maybe in the in some of that low cloud deck. there are a few pilots always tell you there are breaks in the low clouds no matter what. but there's a pretty good fog bank out there. and i'll show it to you in a second. 4050 on the temp sun, sun. but a lot of local. look at that. that's the biggest we've seen. i think this young season there's a lot to go around. so it will be slow to burn back if you're near the coast. 5060s there this higher clouds are gone. so if you're inland you don't get the fog. it'll be sunny but cooler. so shades of cool here for many today as temps come down a good ten degrees for many fog near the coast. probably most of the day, but sunny, breezy inland temperatures 60s 70s. all right, frank mallicoat is here getting better? >> yeah, a little bit. unless you're on the bay bridge. you get through that toll plaza pretty quick. but there are some issues in san francisco. it's been crowded today on that bridge. thanks to an earlier accident in san francisco. southbound 101. right as you got off the bridge. that has since been cleared, but the traffic is lingering across the span.

you'll go all the way to the metering lights and then crawl across that bridge. good. 2020 five minutes to get across. let's zoom in because we have an issue. northbound 101 at debow's chevy into ford collided, blocking at least one lane there. so the northbound commute beginning to stack up as well into the city toll plaza. as i mentioned, it's a bit of an illusion you're going to go through there, but once you get past the metering lights, you're going to bump into some traffic and then kind of crawl into san francisco for a good 15 or 20 minutes. let's look at traffic time now. 801 let's get it back to andre heartbreak. >> thank you. the biden administration is refusing to answer questions today on reports that israel retaliated against iran. secretary of state antony blinken was asked about a drone strike while attending the g7 summit in italy. ktvu james torres is in studio with blinken's response and a breakdown of the newest conflict in the middle east. james. >> andre. the international reports are saying israel carried out drone attacks in an

area and iran home to military bases and even nuclear programs. but in some comments, some israeli leaders alluded to an attack but never really directly said if that's something that's happened. iranian state media reporting its military defended itself against airstrikes. those strikes, according to those officials, didn't really do much damage. in fact, the head of the international atomic energy agency, which oversees nuclear activity around the world, they confirm there was no damage to any nuclear sites in iran. it's believed this is the result of an attack on israel last weekend, where iran carried out more than 300 drone strikes. israel's defense forces say that didn't do much damage either, because it intercepted most of those missiles. the u.s. immediately condemned the attack on israel from last weekend, but secretary of state antony blinken would not offer any comments on this latest reported attack on iran. one political expert we spoke to this morning suggests these so-called strikes are just a show teeth, rather than actually cause any damage.

>> targets that were chosen both by iran, a few days ago and then by israel, were designed to show we're tough, but we're done in a way, i think, to minimize damage. and i think the same thing is going on here. they each want to send a message to the other, don't mess with me. but they also are trying to keep this from getting really bad. >> blinken spoke from the g7 summit in italy this morning. he says countries involved have been speaking about de-escalate for all conflicts. that includes that in gaza and the war in ukraine. blinken did also mention more sanctions were coming to iran, specifically to its uav program. steel industry, as well as the ministry of defense. president biden expected to speak from the white house later today on the topic of union workers. we'll wait to see if he has something to say on israel and iran. gasia. >> james. thank you. the fbi is on high alert for potential threats against the american jewish community. just before

the start of passover on monday, the fbi director, christopher wray, says the agency's concern that lone actors could target large gatherings, high profile events or symbolic or religious locations. wray is cautioning that the recent hostilities between israel and iran could spill outside the middle east, with attacks from other countries or in the united states. the fbi reports three times more anti-jewish hate crime investigations since the start of the war between israel and hamas, the us vetoed a united nations security council resolution to accept palestine as a full member of the un. the us says the veto doesn't mean the us is against a palestinian state, but that it should be the result of direct negotiations between israel and the palestinians. palestinian leaders condemned the us veto, saying it will encourage israel to continue its war in gaza for the latest on the conflict in the middle east and the protests that have followed. head to our website ktvu.com. >> 805 now president biden was endorsed by at least 15 members of the kennedy family during a campaign stop in philadelphia. kerry kennedy, a daughter of former attorney general robert f

kennedy and niece of former president john f kennedy, delivered the kennedy family endorsement. she never directly mentioned her brother, robert f kennedy jr, who is running as a third party contender in the presidential race, but said she and the other kennedy family members want to make crystal clear their support for the biden-harris campaign for president. >> biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncle stood for. that's why nearly every single grandchild of joe and rose kennedy supports joe biden. >> robert kennedy jr downplayed the endorsement, riding on social media that his family is, quote, divided on our opinions but united in our love for each other. happening today, activists plan to rally outside the women's prison in dublin. >> they're calling for the quick release of whoever's left at that soon to close prison. earlier this week, it was announced the prison would be closing and that all inmates

would be transferred to other facilities. the group plans to gather about an hour from now along the route, where busses have been seen transferring women away from the prison. also this morning, lawyers filed an emergency motion asking a judge to halt the transfer of the remaining women, calling the current removal chaotic and unconstitutional. a judge has not yet ruled on that request. we do have a crew on the way. we'll bring you that story coming up at nine. all this comes as the federal bureau of prisons announced the closure of fci dublin on monday. eight officers there have been charged with sex crimes. attorneys tell ktvu some of their clients who had a short time left on their sentences are either being released early for good behavior or put on house arrest, sources tell ktvu. all women will be relocated by this weekend. >> 807 now san francisco's weed week culminates tomorrow with activities on 420, but there are several events happening today. >> we wanted to give him the rock star treatment with a slate of releases where they release their product, meet their consumers and they can enjoy it together the same way you do with sf beer week, when the

brewers come out, or at amoeba records when green day or dogstar goes and plays a show when they have a new album out. >> the events include a cannabis happy hour. it starts at 4 p.m. at cannabis company on 13th street, and then a party beginning at 630 tonight at an herbal remedies shop on grant avenue. ktvu will be streaming some of the 420 events happening tomorrow in the bay area. we have dedicated a live stream on the fox local app, and you can find that on your smart tv or streaming devices. app store as expected, san francisco is suing oakland for trademark infringement over the proposal to change the name of its airport to san francisco bay. >> oakland international airport. the lawsuit seeks an injunction against oakland and travel related services such as airlines and rental car companies, from using the new proposed name in marketing or advertising. one trademark law attorney says this case is about protecting consumers from confusion. >> all we really have to compare are the names, and they tend to give the first two words a lot of weight, because that's the

first thing that the person hears, that a consumer sees on their screen when they're ordering their lyft or when they're booking the flight. and so the fact that the two first two words are really similar, it's going to really lend itself to a finding of confusion. >> the lawsuit accuses oakland of trying to capitalize on sfo's reputation and pull in travelers who weren't intending to fly to the east bay. oakland mayor shengtao didn't respond directly to the lawsuit, but said the rebrand could offer several benefits, saying notably, it could support the airport's effort to secure more direct flights to additional destinations, enhancing convenience for travelers and potentially boosting tourism in oakland. >> and good morning, everyone. frank mallicoat in the traffic center with some news of a slow ride across the bay bridge. this morning due to an earlier accident that was 101 southbound right after you got off the bridge. they have since cleared that, and now we've got an accident 101 northbound at dubose, which is backed up 101 north at that 80 interchange. it's pretty much bumper to bumper northbound two car pileup

, one lane. last check with chp. still blocked. and they are working that accident as we speak. so let's jump across the bay, say hello to the east bay commuter who have to be pretty happy with this highway 24 westbound and lafayette on their way to the caldecott into oakland and berkeley. and that's moving along pretty well, considering the week that was, because that's been very busy all week long. that's a look at traffic time now. 809 let's get it back to andre. >> well, coming up, what nasa has to say about new studies involving ocean water and the climate, the wine industry is going electric. >> still to come. we'll explain what an ea wine taster is and why it was developed to help wine makers make tasteful decisions. >> and the san francisco zoo getting some pretty adorable inte atio l

london. breed made the announcement on social media during her trip to china. ktvu bailey o'carroll in san francisco. here, with the boost this could bring to the city, bailey gasia.

>> good morning. yeah, it's been quite a while since the last time giant pandas called san francisco home. that was actually back in 1985. they were here briefly, just for about three months, but it did draw a heck of a lot of people to the san francisco zoo here about more than 260,000 visitors came out to see those pandas decades ago. of course, the zoo and san francisco officials hoping that the draw even more people this time around. now, san francisco mayor london breed made the announcement just last night on her social media accounts while she is on a week long trip to china in an effort to bring more business and tourism to the city, mayor breed called the process of getting the pandas here a collaborative one that required months of advocacy and coordination. the idea was actually originally floated around during the apec summit, which took place here in san francisco in november. >> we have some cute, cuddly black and white beauties coming to our city. ladies and gentlemen, welcome pandas to san

francisco. >> so the prep for housing those pandas has already started. engineers with the beijing zoo were here at the san francisco zoo, meeting with officials to look at potential enclosures, discuss where exactly the bears will call home inside the zoo. and it's likely, though, that their new home here won't be ready until 2025, after san francisco can renovate its existing facility. now, typically, pandas are on lease for about $1 million annually for two bears. right now, though, the only zoo in the u.s. that has giant pandas is all the way in atlanta. so this will be a kind of a new thing for the west coast here in san francisco. again, the last time this happened was back in the 80s, but we do not know exactly when the pandas will get here or how many will be sent from china here to san francisco. reporting live. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news.

>> bailey, thank you. there's a new development involving a teacher accused of sexually assaulting a student in san jose. more than 20 years ago. the woman, whose allegations led to the arrest of lee high school teacher shawn thomas, has now filed a lawsuit, and it claims thomas forced her to terminate a pregnancy that resulted from their relationship when she was still a teenager. so far, thomas's attorney has not commented on this lawsuit. >> the popular activity of line dancing is causing a rift in san francisco's chinatown. a local troupe founded more than a decade ago, performs throughout the year throughout the city. every year since the pandemic, the group has been closing off a section of grand avenue for rehearsals and a free performance on weekends. the chronicle reports that four chinatown merchants, though, have complained to the city that the noise from those pop up shows is driving away customers. the city says it will allow the dancers to perform on grand avenue every weekend through next march. state lawmakers could soon make it easier for renters to find an apartment that accepts pets. assembly bill 2216 would prevent property owners from imposing a blanket no pets policy. landlords could

also not charge extra fees for pets. the director of animal services in oakland says the number of people giving up their pets soared ever since the city lifted its covid eviction moratorium last summer. the shelter now averages about 350 dogs a month, 100 or so more than in 2022. we've seen a doubling of the number of people that are surrendering their pets, and that's largely due to the housing crisis. >> i allow pets, because a single family, right? you got the backyard, etc. but i will tell you, the dogs have destroyed the place, they've chewed up holes in the side of the wall. they've chewed up all of the drip system. so it's going to be pretty expensive to return that unit back. >> another bill would mean that landlords can only ban pets for public health or animal control. concerns among other justifications. >> 817 redwood city leaders are considering closing parts of broadway to cars permanently during the pandemic. the city closed a section of the road to cars, which ended up being popular, but a vote to make the stretch of broadway a permanent pedestrian mall has been pushed

back to may. city council decided to push it back to hear more questions and comments from the public. the change is said to have proved to be a boon for downtown businesses. if the permanent change is approved, the city will present a new design for the area this summer, happening today in the north bay, part of highway 37 between vallejo and sears point will be closed starting tonight for a repaving project, one that will send more traffic to the richmond-san rafael bridge starting at 9:00 tonight. >> westbound 37 will close between vallejo and sears point. it is set to stay closed until 4:00 monday morning. many people will likely head over to the richmond-san rafael bridge to get around the road closure. caltrans is also recommending going north on highway 29, west on highway 12, then south on 121. >> all right. the researchers are testing an electric device that could make detecting spoiled wine easier. recent tests show the device can identify signs of microbes organisms in white wine within a week of initial contamination. that's four weeks earlier than the average person, and previous tests showed similar results with red wine to the creators of

the device are now shopping at two wineries, right? >> 818 let's see what's happening in the traffic center. this this frank mallicoat, is the commute that bay area residents deserve. after the week or so, they have suffered through on the roads. >> unless you're on 101 northbound trying to get into. yeah, we got an accident there, a two car pileup. there it is. it's northbound 101 in the city, right at that interchange where 101 and highway 80 split. of course, 101 heads you through the city streets up to the golden gate. and 80 takes you to the bay bridge. but at dabos, there we've got a two car pileup tow truck involved just got there, one lane is blocked and as you can see, the damage is done all the way down to highway 280. so if you're trying to get into the city from the airport, 280, probably a better way to go. let's take you across the bay, san mateo bridge that was packed with cars, a good half hour ago, and that is finally

starting to weed out a little bit as folks head over to the peninsula. no issues there. and if you're on highway 880 heading northbound or southbound right now, traffic moving along just fine. time now. 819 steve paulson happy friday. >> thank you sir. all right i'm going to do a quick little shot. you can go disappear frank. but i have to do a shout out. i will all right. the vallejo aquatic club. garcia. yes, the vallejo aquatic club has a huge meet this weekend. it's called the long spring thaw. it's at cunningham pool in vallejo. and elisa maria is one of the coaches. and she watches us. i like it, and she's super nice. and this is a big deal. so if you're going to swim laps tomorrow cunningham pool, you're out of luck. right. so anyway all the best to the vallejo aquatic club i think it's 8 to 18 years old. they're a big meet all weekend long. so go get them. all right. big fog bank as well. look at that. not only here. look up and down the coast, all the way down to san diego and down to tijuana. i had i heard somebody said that they

had flight delays at tijuana airport because there was fog yesterday. well, my goodness, this is a big fog bank for april. see, i always look at april and may to maybe give an indication on how the summer might go. and right now i'll tell you, this fog comes back fast. i've seen other aprils in may where you don't get that, but bigger fog bank pushes inland. cooler breezy there it is. that's a west wind. and the flag at the golden gate and the overcast skies are there. so it's going to be a cooler day for all. santa rosa. i threw in the towel. here i went 68. i've i saw 70 to 74. and i went, there's too much fog redwood city, lafayette, san jose all down 68, 70, 72 on the highs. so fog bank pouring in. it's making a pretty good push if you're far enough inland. it's sunny, but it will be cooler today. temperatures coming down into probably about saturday. leveling off. it does look warmer sunday. nice monday, then cooler again tuesday you guys steve thank you. >> changes could be coming to a san francisco intersection. that was the scene of a deadly car versus pedestrian crash that left a family of four dead last

month. what could soon happen in west portal and why? there is already pushback to the plan. >> and a fertility clinic in california is being sued by several couples for hat they say if you feel like things don't add up right now...

you're not alone. rent is up, and every family outing costs an arm and a leg. well, we want to help. so when prices go up, we find new ways to go low. and now, we've lowered the price on hundreds of your favorite products. designing something beautiful is easy. designing something beautiful with great quality for a low price? that's a different story. it's why we're here. that's a promise. not a promo.
