4:22 am
some of the bridges here. you'll get some maybe gusts 30 plus south wind closer to the peninsula. and also, along the coast there. but that's a pretty good breeze here. 30s up in the mountains, 50s almost everywhere until you hit the desert of southern california, las vegas. so it's 72. that's the low. you can see it's spinning right there. and as it works its way towards southern california, it will keep us in a seasonably cool pattern. i would think drizzle along the coastal hills, santa cruz mountains. it's being advertised here along the san mateo coast, maybe parts of a marin county north. not a lot, but could be a little bit there. and as far as rain goes, starting to show up a little bit to the north. the first week of may looks unseasonably cool, the way the forecast models are trending with maybe some rain here. so i don't think we're done yet, but we are getting breaks now. fog along the coast, sunny inland, but breezy to windy and cooler. 50s and only a few 70s. mainly 60s. >> all right, steve, thank you. times for 22. there's a final rush to a popular burger spot in the south bay that's closing for

news. >> all right, zach, thank you. time is 433. a ruling is expected by late june from the us supreme court in a landmark case on homelessness. yesterday, the supreme court heard arguments in the case and will now decide whether it's constitutional for cities to find or arrest people who sleep in public spaces. now, the case is from grants pass, oregon, where people are facing escalating penalties for sleeping outdoors. a federal appeals court had classified the law in oregon as cruel and unusual punishment, because of the lack of homeless shelters across the country. >> can you imagine anything more cruel and unusual than throwing somebody in jail for using a blanket in the middle of the freezing winter? >> however, some conservative members of the supreme court questioned how far those legal protections should extend if those members of the court say city leaders around the country are right now struggling to manage homeless encampments that they say can be dangerous and unsanitary.
4:35 am
>> city leaders and residents of san francisco will be among those closely watching the supreme court ruling on homelessness. now, the homeless advocates marin marched and rallied in front of san francisco's federal building and through the streets of the city. they say this case gets to the very heart of the question of whether u.s. cities can make homelessness a crime. >> the reality is, folks are out there because they have no other choice, for almost everyone. and it's not okay to then cite them and arrest them because they're destitute. that is, in essence, a pauper's prison that we're creating there. and i think we've moved beyond that. >> i mean, not only is san francisco different. >> city attorney david chu says the supreme court ruling will have a major impact on how san francisco responds to the homelessness crisis in the city. >> hopefully have a much more nuanced ruling that strikes a balance between what san francisco has been trying to do, which is our compassionate approach to homelessness. but also giving us the ability to have some tools to ensure that

will soon make history, becoming the first asian american police chief in san pablo. he is captain bryan boebert, a 21 year veteran of the police force. he's held several command positions over the last few years. city officials say boohbah understands the importance of community engagement and the use of technology. he starts as police chief on may the 1st. well, a new report from the united nations estimates that as many as 1 million animal and plant species around the world are speeding towards becoming extinct. and here in the bay area, the oakland zoo wants to help change that trend. for years, the oakland zoo has been a leader in saving animals heading for extinction, including the california condor. 40 years ago, there were only 22 condors left in the wild. but with the help of the oakland zoo and other organizations, the
5:25 am
condor has been kept alive. >> so today we have over 500, both in human care as well as in the wild. this is our natural history here in california as a zoo. we can play an important role in that. now the oakland zoo has committed to protecting other species as well, including gray wolves, grizzly bears, and more. >> but the zoo's ceo says we can all do much more to save many endangered animals and plants as well. governor gavin newsom celebrated earth day by showing off california's newest state park. the governor and first partner, jennifer siebel newsom, and civil rights activist dolores huerta were in stanislaus county for the new park's dedication. dos rios ranch state park is made up of 1600 acres of rehabilitated natural open space along the san joaquin and tuolumne rivers, near modesto. it used to be farmland.

plus, new research is taking a look at women in medicine. and one study says there's a difference for patients when they're seen by a male or female doctor. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for joining us here on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> tuesday morning it's april 23rd. it is already already ppe.
5:30 am
>> and it feels like april because it's a windy month usually for the bay area. let's check in with steve paulson. it's also going to be, i guess, kind of cold for the next couple of days. >> no doubt about it here. big low cloud deck in place here. maybe, maybe some activity popping up thursday friday, no doubt about it. up in the mountains here. but for us it's a low clouds, drizzle, maybe 50s on the temps. so temps are coming down, down, down. now the lows are up because of the cloud cover. but we will see the that's just solid up and down the coast. i'll tell you this usually an indicator april may and how the summer may go. and right now it's trending on the cooler side here in the cool of the day because temps will come down a good 1015 degrees for many well inland. we are looking for 60s on the temps. all right. sounds here 530 picking up somewhere. >> yeah it's getting a little bit more crowded steve. you know steve, i did notice the wind out there when i was coming to work. i saw a bunch of just debris from trees down in the road. so just be careful. i almost ran into some, like, palm frond. you know what that is? triple a
5:31 am
traffic camera. you can see the richmond bridge. i don't think there are any palm fronds here at the richmond-san rafael bridge. you can see traffic is moving along pretty well here at the bay bridge still, and all the way across the bay into san francisco. so it's 530. let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. in oakland, a group of community organizations will break ground today on a new affordable housing development that's right next to lake merritt. ktvu is ali rasmus is in oakland to show us what it's going to look like and who will be able to live there. good morning ali. >> good morning dave. yeah. first off, as sal and steve have mentioned, it is very windy out here. but this project is made up of two buildings that, when finished, will have 91 apartment homes. let's show you the map of the location where this is going to be in oakland, 12th street and second avenue in the lake merritt east lake neighborhood. that's on the west end of the lake near the old kaiser convention center. here's a rendering of what the building is supposed to look like 91
5:32 am
apartment homes, including studio one, two, and three bedrooms. 23 of the apartments will be set aside for people who are formerly homeless, transitioning to permanent housing. now, who gets to live there? it's designated as affordable housing, so that means people will qualify to live there. they must make no more than between 30 to 95,000 a year per household. >> the process for potential residents and applicants to apply for the housing involves a lottery process. about six months prior to opening the doors, which will occur in 2026. for this project, most of the money to build the housing, about $23 million, comes from state and local government grants. >> several community organizations are leading the development, including the east asian, east bay asian local development corporation and the unity council. the oakland taxpayers, who passed measure u in affordable housing funding just two years ago, are also
5:33 am
contributing to this. and that's why the organizers and the developers here say this is a historic building, because it's the first affordable housing project to break ground using some of that measure u tax funding. it is expected to be complete by 2026, and the groundbreaking is scheduled to start at 11:00 this morning live in oakland. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you. ali well, women make up just one third of physicians in the u.s. however, a new study finds patients who are treated by female doctors in the hospital had a better chance of surviving and were less likely to be readmitted than patients treated by male doctors. joining us now to talk about these findings, fox medical teams beth galvin, good morning, beth, thank you for joining us. first of all, what did the study find specifically about the difference between seeing a female doctor and a male doctor? >> so good morning, pam. so researchers looked at the medical records. this was an observational study. so they
5:34 am
were looking at the medical records of 700,000 medicare patients. so these are folks who are, you know, 65 and older generally who were hospitalized for different reasons. and what they found was that if you looked at the patients who were treated in the hospital by a female doctor, they were less likely to die within a month of being discharged from the hospital, and they were less likely to have to return to the hospital and be readmitted to the hospital in that first month than those patients who were treated by men. and where things got really interesting, as you saw, the biggest benefit in women who were treated by female doctors, they seem to have the most clinically significant, you know, significantly lower rates of mortality, lower rates of having to be readmitted to the hospital when they were treated by a woman, as opposed to being treated by a man, pam, any
5:35 am
reasons in the research showing why there may be this difference in in the getting the better care and the results? well, so the researchers offered up a couple of possibilities. and again, we saw this big benefit in women being treated by women hospitalist. and what they found was they suggested that perhaps male doctors might be more likely to, you know, dismiss the idea that women patients are seriously ill or require stepped up care. and, you know, that's a generalization, but that may be at play here. and also, they felt that, you know, for a female patient talking to a female doctor, there seemed to perhaps be better communication. they were better able to talk about things that might be sensitive or embarrassing or important, you know, but but uncomfortable to talk about with a female doctor as opposed to a male doctor. so those those are things that, that the authors of this study feel like could be at
5:36 am
play here. not really clear why there was a big difference, but when you looked at some other factors, pam, like, you know, how long the patient stayed in the hospital, you know, how much medicare part b paid for their coverage, things like that. it was the same whether they were treated by a male or a female doctor. but you did see these, you know, you did see a better outcome in some areas for those treated by a female hospitalist. pam. all right. >> yeah, that makes sense that you'd feel more comfortable talking to somebody. maybe you can relate to a little bit better. beth galvin with our fox medical team. thank you so much for that. >> thank you pam. all right beth and pam, thank you. >> time now 5.35 a ruling expected by late june from the us supreme court in a landmark case on homelessness. now, yesterday, the supreme court heard arguments in the case. and will now decide whether it's constitutional for cities to fine or arrest people for sleeping in public spaces. now, this case is from grants pass,
5:37 am
oregon, where people are facing escalating penalties for sleeping outdoors. a federal appeals court had classified the law in oregon as cruel and unusual punishment because of the lack of homeless shelters in the u.s. >> can you imagine anything more cruel and unusual than throwing somebody in jail for using a blanket in the middle of the freezing winter? >> however, some conservative members of the supreme court questioned how far those legal protections should extend. those members of the court say city leaders around the country are struggling to manage homeless encampments that they say can be both dangerous and unsanitary. >> city leaders and residents of san francisco will be among those closely watching the supreme court ruling on homelessness. many marched and rallied in front of san francisco's federal building and through the streets of the city. they say this case gets to the very heart of the question of whether u.s. cities can make homelessness a crime. >> the reality is, folks are out
5:38 am
there because they have no other choice, for almost everyone. and it's not okay to then cite them and arrest them because they're destitute. that is, in essence, a pauper's prison that we're creating there. and i think we've moved beyond that. >> i mean, not only the city attorney, david chu, says the supreme court ruling will have a significant impact on how san francisco responds to the homelessness crisis in the city. hopefully have a much more nuanced ruling that strikes a balance between what san francisco has been trying to do, which is our compassionate approach to homelessness, but also giving us the ability to have some tools to ensure that our streets are clean and safe. >> the city attorney says san francisco already has laws on the books that are designed to provide compassionate care for the unhoused, but chu says the city must clear the streets or take other strong action when the safety of the public is threatened. all right, back over to steve paulson. where are you starting with the forecast? >> well, a lot of fog out there.
5:39 am
so it'll be cooler today, no doubt. here also up in the mountains. need to keep an eye on that northern sacramento valley over the next few days. but really it's the fog that is big fog bank front and center here. and it is up and down the coast, large and in charge. that low to the west is really what's opened the door to the not only a bigger fog bank, the wind is cranked up and temperatures are plunging, dropping off the table. they'll be much cooler starting today and going into thursday, as the way it looks 50 on the temps here, onshore wind for some, that's for sure. it is blustery to windy for almost all. we had gusts 35 plus miles per hour here. livermore even west to 22mph. a little more of a southerly wind along the san mateo coast and in the city. also that low will be with us now. watch how the moisture, though. watch the uptick in moisture here over the next few days, especially over the mountains. that's later today. so if you're heading up to tahoe or northeast california, northern sacramento valley, we'll see him die down at night, then pick up again wednesday afternoon. watch right there. but nothing over us yet. then watch on thursday. system sweeps
5:40 am
in here and maybe could be some to the north. just something to watch here as we head towards thursday night, maybe friday morning with some high elevation snow possible. now again, there's not a lot here, but there is some and there's maybe more on the way. as we go into the first week of may as the way it looks, forecast models are dropping rather significant lows on us as we head into about the first six days of may. big fog, bank drizzle, breezy to windy. fog along the coast, slowly retreating 5060s to only a few near 70, and temperatures will continue to kind of cool off. have a lot of cloud cover on the way, especially thursday friday before it does look like a little rebound on the weekend. >> all right. thank you, steve banning a security shortcut at california airports. one legislator is pushing to reform that screening process and book clubs for generation z. >> they're forming but with a twist. we tell you what they're doing differently in creating these book c

6:04 am
protests at universities like yale, columbia, nyu, where police arrested dozens in some cases hundreds of people. >> as a palestinian, as a human being, i feel like standing in the face of one of the most well-documented genocides, one of the most well-documented mass killings of people. because of their identity, it's essential that we stand up. >> i would like the united states to stop funding weapons for israel if we cut off the funding for weapons, then the conflict will have to stop further north in the state. >> at cal poly, humboldt, another sit in is within a building on campus, forcing the school to transition to virtual classes. they say until at least wednesday, they're calling the situation on campus a dangerous and volatile situation. according to the chronicle. here at uc berkeley, the university says it has no plans to change its investment policies, and it will not let these latest demonstrations affect classes. for the rest of the semester. unlike protests at other schools, the university has not

6:31 am
good day so far. we'll have all your business news coming up. thank you for joining us here. on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> welcome to tuesday. >> it's april 23rd and we want to check in with steve paulson because it seems like a colder day today. >> no doubt about it here. our biggest fog bank of the season is has developed and moved in along with wind. well my ship has arrived, but once again i was at the bus station. there you go, big fog bank in place and boy, temperatures will take the tumble here. 50s. i mean, that's about as isothermal as you can get. also, activity popping up over the mountains and maybe even have to keep an eye. here, look at this right there. so i'll mention lake county, napa county, although it looks to be more out to the valley. how about that? so we're getting ready for some activity here. but for us at least coast and bayside in the cool of the day. big fog bank fog near the coast. sunny, cooler, breezy, mostly sunny, but temperatures in the 60s. all right. sal is here. bay bridge, we're going to
6:32 am
go there soon. and, steve, just. you're talking about the fog bank. i thought i'd show the golden gate bridge, too, as we go to our air traffic camera network, you can see the golden gate bridge. the fog steve just mentioned definitely is there. and you can look at the richmond bridge. there's a little bit of a backup. and of course, we go to the bay bridge. it is backed up to the macarthur maze metering lights are on. we have some slowing in oakland, although it seems to be better now than it was. there was some slowing approaching high street that seems to have cleared up. 631 let's get back to you. the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal crews will break ground on an important apartment building near lake merritt today. >> this is a big deal. yes, the project's expected to create almost 100 new affordable homes in oakland. ktvu is ali rasmus already out there to show us some of the plans? good morning. ali >> good morning dave. yes, this apartment, this project will be comprised of two different buildings. one, when it's done
6:33 am
in 2026, it will have 91 new apartment homes. right near oakland's lake merritt. let's show you a map of the location that it's going to be built. east 12th street and second avenue. that's in the lake merritt east lake neighborhood on the west end of lake merritt, near the old kaiser convention center. here's a rendering of what it's supposed to look like. it's a multi storey building and the apartment homes inside will include studio one, two and three bedroom places. 23 of those apartments will be set aside for people who are formerly homeless, transitioning to permanent housing. now, who gets to live here? people who qualify for affordable housing. that means families living there must make between 30,000 and no more than 95,000 a year per household, and the demand for affordable housing far outstrips the availability of units and new homes. >> that said, you know, as a nonprofit organization as well as our partners in this deal, really committed to providing as many as possible as soon as possible.
6:34 am
>> now, the money to build this housing, $23 million comes from state and local governments. the east bay asian local development corporation and the unity council are contributing and leading the construction of this project, and there is also money for it coming from oakland taxpayers who passed measure you an affordable housing bond just two years ago. this is the first affordable housing project in oakland to use some of those measure u funds. the groundbreaking for these new homes is set to start at 11:00. this morning in oakland, and the project again expected to be complete by the year 2026. live in oakland ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you ali and some other good news. applications are now online for a new affordable housing development in san jose, solano apartments is located near the diridon station, 36 of the units rent for less than market rates. for example, a two bedroom home is about 2000 to $2400 a month. there are income
6:35 am
limits for the below market units. a family of four has to make less than $109,000 a year to qualify. now, applications will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis, and we have that information to apply on our website, ktvu.com under web links. >> all right. our time is 634. a ruling expected by late june from the us supreme court in a landmark case on homelessness. yesterday, the supreme court heard arguments in the case they will now decide whether it's constitutional for cities to fine or arrest people for sleeping in public spaces. now the case is from grants pass, oregon. that's where the homeless face escalating penalties for sleeping outdoors. a federal appeals court had classified the law in oregon as cruel and unusual punishment, because of the lack of homeless shelters in the u.s. >> can you imagine anything more cruel and unusual than throwing somebody in jail for using a blanket in the middle of the freezing winter? >> however, some conservative members of the supreme court
6:36 am
questioned how far those legal protections should extend. those members of the court say city leaders around the country are struggling to manage homeless encampments, as they say can be dangerous and also unsanitary. >> city leaders and residents of san francisco will be among those closely watching the supreme court ruling on homelessness. many marched and rallied in front of san francisco's federal building and through the streets of the city. they say this case gets to the very heart of the question of whether u.s. cities can sweep homeless encampments. >> the reality is, folks are out there because they have no other choice, for almost everyone. and it's not okay to then cite them and arrest them, because they're destitute. that is, in essence, a pauper's prison that we're creating there. and i think we've moved beyond that. >> i mean, not only is city attorney david chiu says the supreme court ruling will have a major impact on how san francisco responds to the homelessness crisis in the city, hopefully have a much more
6:37 am
nuanced ruling that strikes a balance between what san francisco has been trying to do, which is our compassionate approach to homelessness. but also giving us the ability to have some tools to ensure that our streets are clean and safe. >> the city attorney says san francisco already has laws on the books that are designed to provide compassionate care for the unhoused, but chiu also says the city must clear the streets or take other strong action when the safety of the public is threatened. >> our time now, 636 one east bay community mourning the death of a sheriff's deputy in idaho who grew up and served right here in the bay area, 27 year old deputy tobin bolger was shot and killed in idaho while making a traffic stop before he joined the idaho sheriff's office in january. bolger worked several years in pleasant hill as a police officer. he graduated in walnut creek from berean christian high school. >> it's still a shock, you know, to learn of the news of tobin
6:38 am
passing, we loved him. we loved his family. when you think of tobin, you think, i mean, the first word that comes to mind is servant. you know, someone who wants to serve. and so to be in public service, you know, looking out for the benefit of others, you know, that made sense for him. >> a boulder later came back to coach the school's cross country team, along with his wife. his yearbook graduation page says his dream job was to be a police officer. >> time now is 637 and we do have slow traffic out there already. building especially in the east bay. not so much in the south bay. let's go right to highway four. you can see it's backed up almost all the way to antioch. we've had kind of a robust commute there from and from just the west end of antioch over to concord, looking at the live picture from our air traffic camera of the richmond bridge. it looks all right. no problems at the bay bridge. it's backed up to the maze. metering lights are on and if you're driving on interstate 880 in
6:39 am
oakland, that looks pretty good in both directions. 638 now let's go to steve. >> all right. thank you. sal. we will head out to the valley. why the valley? because just like that i just posted this thunderstorm has erupted out near williams. arbuckle on the way to chico. if you take out the lightning, see an isolated cell right there. and then i put in the lightning. and so i'll mention it for lake county, mendocino county, maybe eastern napa county, also over the mountains, lee side of the sierra tahoe northward. i would expect activity to pick up not only today, but the next few days. for us locally. i mean, there's going to be a huge fog bank, meaning a big time cool down that upper low to the west. there will play into our weather for the next few days. then another one will drop down from the north by friday. the main message is cooler, cooler, cooler. in fact much cooler. low clouds, wind as well. 50 on the temps. i don't think these will change at all and that upper low equals a significant cooldown along with an increase in moisture. not only for maybe us
6:40 am
as well. isolated showers, thundershowers more likely i would think thursday night friday, but for sure northern sacramento valley and also up into the mountains much cooler today. big fog bank drizzle, fog along the coast may not burn off at all for some 5060 on most of the temps and temperatures not much change here except cooler and then maybe some isolated thunderstorm activity thursday night. friday a little rebound on the weekend. >> okay steve. thank you. time 639 a group of oakland students making an impact. we'll tell you about the research they presented during a trip to philadelphia about education and equity. >> a great story it is. before we get to that, let's head out to our newsroom, check in with garcia for the other stories we're following for you. good morning. >> good morning pam. welcome back dave. yes. when i get to join you in studio, pga says the typical bill will go up $32.50 a month this year. the ceo of that utility now says ratepayers may get a break. the changes the company says it will make to help bring costs down for customers, and why many are
