total ban on abortion. >> in arizona, governor gavin newsom is taking action in california for what he wants to do. that would make it easier for abortion providers to cross into our state and continue their work. his new step in an already heated battle with republican led states, plus, we are asking for people to, if they see anything. >> you know, we put out everywhere. >> the family of an east bay teenager found dead in san francisco says something doesn't add up. why? they say someone has to know what happened. then i believe, a attempt of tesla to get better. >> but i don't think that we've seen the last of it. >> tesla announces several thousand layoffs, some of which will impact bay area workers. what analysts say they think about the fact that more could be on the way from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and welcome back i'm gasia mikaelian

and good morning i'm dave clark. >> it's wednesday april 24th right in the middle of the week. gasia. that's right. >> today felt milder to me than yesterday. how do you feel? good. >> but lots of clouds over here for sure. >> that's a lot of low clouds. high clouds. and it is on the mild side here we get a south wind. so yesterday it was kind of the cool day. will still be on the cool side, but with so much cloud cover here, maybe a sun break or two could do it. you might get in near 70. kind of a tropical feel. i would expect santa clara valley for that 50 though. on the temps a lot of cloud cover, low high clouds, more thunderstorms will erupt north and also probably near the sierra as well. but for us, just a cloud away and there's plenty of them to keep us on the cooler side here. some drizzle, a little bit of a south breeze, 60s on the temps. all right. south here. i know we're okay on the peninsula. where are we starting this time. >> yeah we're going to go to san jose right now steve and i want to just show you that things are still doing very well. so this should make you happy to look at this grid where you don't see a

lot going on on the commute in the silicon valley or on the peninsula, for that matter. i kind of like what i see there. there have been no major issues. we can also look at some of the other commutes, like the bay bridge. that's pretty typical here. it's backed up to the maze and the metering lights around. when we come back, we'll take a look at some of the far east bay commutes, including contra costa county. 701. >> happening today, governor newsom proposing a new way to help people in arizona get abortions here in california as arizona's near-total abortion ban is about to begin in about a week. ktvu bailey o'carroll in our newsroom with what the governor wants to do. >> bailey garcia good morning. governor gavin newsom wants the state of california to make it easier for doctors from arizona to come to california to perform abortions, according to politico. the governor would offer arizona abortion providers an expedited way of getting licensed here in california. now, the move would require emergency legislation to pass because newsom wants that change

to go into effect to may 1st. that is the same day that arizona's near-total abortion ban is set to go into effect. governor newsom's team said that they are working closely with arizona's democratic governor, katie hobbs, a strong stance on abortion and abortion care is nothing new for newsom. it's been a major focus of his. he's run ads all across the country, specifically in states where abortion bans have gone into effect, like in the south, and they've been paid for by his campaign for democracy pac. >> yes, i'm going to need you to step out of the vehicle. i'll take a pregnancy test. >> now, since roe versus wade was overturned nearly two years ago, a number of conservative states have started to limit access to the procedure, while other states like california have taken steps to protect those rights. according to the governor, people seeking reproductive care in the state of california is up 17% since roe versus wade was overturned almost two years ago. now, according to politico today.

governor newsom also reportedly expected to announce $200 million towards reproductive health care funding. that money will go towards security at clinics, training for providers and transportation for patients. back to you, bailey. >> thank you. today the supreme court will hear arguments in a case that could determine whether doctors can provide abortions to pregnant women who are having a medical emergency. the justice department has sued idaho over its abortion law, which allows a woman to get an abortion only when her life, not her health, is at risk. the question is whether idaho's law conflicts with the federal law that protects patients who need emergency care. >> our time now 704 parents in the east bay desperately trying to find out how their 15 year old daughter was found dead in san francisco. and they say their questions have not been answered. now, saturday morning, jasmine. jasmine pellegrini of bay point was found dead. her parents last saw her wednesday night. they say their daughter

left the family home without a phone or without any money. she had been released from a psychiatric hospital just three hours earlier. >> how can we cope? we want we want answers. we want to know who was with her. we want to know how did she get to san francisco? >> her family says she'd been struggling with mental health problems for years. they say they have no idea how she died, but they're worried that someone may have lured her to the city and that she may have been drugged. >> the alameda county district attorney, pamela price, doubled down on her stance that the da's office is stronger under her leadership amid calls for her to be removed from office. >> i can tell you that in our office, we are holding people accountable every day. we are charging people. we are prosecuting people. we are doing our part where it's appropriate that they are entitled to diversion. >> price discussed her vision for public safety during a

virtual town hall. she said she ran on a progressive platform of reducing sentences for younger offenders, eliminating most sentencing enhancements and holding law enforcement more accountable. price rejects criticism that she's soft on crime. >> we're prosecuting people at the same level as my predecessor. and so this sense that people aren't being held accountable, i think is more driven, by the slant of the way things are being portrayed in the media and presented often, sometimes on social media. >> critics have gathered enough signatures to get a recall on the ballot. >> our time now. 705 the alameda county board of supervisors now has until tuesday to schedule an election date for a recall of pamela price, her critics, who formed the group save alameda for everyone, held this rally in oakland, right outside the county administration building. they accused supervisors of declining to begin the recall

process at last week's board meeting, we got the approved signatures. >> you have hundreds of thousands of people that want this on the ballot and want to constitutionally have her recalled, and we need that done as soon as possible. >> now the group is projecting that the recall vote will likely take place sometime between late july and early september. new this morning, the us department of transportation has issued a final rule on airline flight cancellations and delays. >> the new rule requires airlines to promptly provide passengers with automatic refunds in the same manner the tickets were acquired when they're due. the new rule requires airlines to give refunds when they cancel or significantly change a flight when checked bags are delayed, or when airlines fail to provide extra services purchased by passengers, the transportation department says. previously, airlines set their own standards for when to issue a refund, meaning policies differed from airline to airline. well, thousands of tesla workers in

the bay area will likely be looking for new jobs. tesla is eliminating some 6000 jobs in california and texas. about half of them are at tesla factories in fremont and palo alto. last week, tesla announced it was laying off more than 10% of its 140,000 employees. financial experts say that tesla also recently cut prices by $2,000 to increase sales. >> i do believe that there is the possibility that we'll see more layoffs because musk has announced that he wants to launch hot and heavy into, more automated production robotic factories, and probably a lot of ai in that as well. >> layoffs are expected to start in june, but tesla ceo elon musk says he has grand plans for tesla, wants to produce more affordable electric cars starting next year. >> time now. 708a measure to build a new road for busses in palo alto is now headed to the november ballot. the goal to free up traffic near university

avenue. the proposed project would directly improve congestion and safety for all modes of transportation in this key regional gateway. now, if that measure is approved, it would create a direct connection between palo alto transit center and el camino real. it would also require the city to carve out part of el camino park. now, supporters hope it will help bus passengers in that area save some time. >> more than 23 million homes could lose internet access when a federal subsidy ends at the end of this month. the affordable connectivity program will run out of money unless congress extends it. the program provides monthly subsidies of 30 to $75 to help low income families pay for home internet service. supporters say that congress is known for months about the deadline, but has not moved on. president biden's $6 billion request to renew the program about 35% of californians receive subsidized internet. >> time now is 709, and we do

see some traffic. that's beginning to bunch up in the typical areas. for example, at the bay bridge toll plaza. that is not unusual. and we promised you a look at the east bay. so let's get right to that. you can see that traffic on the 880 freeway, interstate 880 between hayward and union city is getting slow and 680 is also getting slower out of pleasanton, heading down toward the sunol grade southbound 680 from pleasant hill to walnut creek. slowing. and we've had some slow traffic on highway four westbound. that's not unusual, however. eastbound there's a slowdown getting into antioch or just leaving pittsburg heading east. a brief slowdown there. 710 let's go back to the desk. >> okay, sal. well a failing grade for the bay area when it comes to air quality. we'll tell you about a new report that names our region as one of the worst in the whole country when it comes to the air we breathe. >> it's encouraging to see some

of his age that was so determined. that was just absolutely committed to service. >> a funeral planned for this friday for an oakland police officer who died nearly six years after an on duty crash. how is am

years following an on duty car crash. ktvu andre senior here now with how officer jordan wingate's family is coping with his death. >> well, gasia, good morning to you. that crash happened back in august of 2018 and as you can imagine, it's been emotionally draining for his family. praying for him and watching as he tried to hold on. officer wingate was just 23 years of age at the time of the crash. he was headed to the port of oakland to investigate a report of suspicious persons in the area. he collided with a car which sent his patrol suv into a parked big rig truck. wingate was rushed to highland hospital in critical condition. >> they said the likelihood of him surviving was very slim, but between the doctors and nurses, they just they kept them alive. his mom and i had to go, you know, pick out his casket and his gravesite. and, you know, these are things that parents, you know, you should be doing this for your parents and your parents shouldn't be doing it for you. >> wingate came from a law enforcement family. his father

is a retired oakland police captain who had the honor of pinning his badge at wingates police academy graduation. he was a valedictorian, and the ceremony occurred on his birthday. >> the most important part of being a cop by far is talking to people. i think that was probably his biggest accomplishment was, you know, was just he was a people person, you know, he just loved people. >> officer wingate received numerous honors despite a brief law enforcement career. the oakland police officers association named him rookie of the year. wingate is the 55th oakland police officer killed in the line of duty. his godfather was an oakland police detective, also killed in the line of duty by friendly fire. that happened back in 2001. garcia, andre. >> thank you. 715 here, officials in california are warning about counterfeit botox that's being used in our state and others. the cdc says there have been about two dozen recent cases of botulism across 11 states linked to this. at least two of the cases happened in california, including a woman in san diego. she bought the bad

botox online. it resulted in headaches, weakness and blurred vision and then took it to a botox party, where it was injected by an unlicensed and untrained person. >> these are elective procedures , not something that anybody ever has to do. so you really want to do your homework, be a good consumer, ask a lot of questions. this is not a treatment that you need to be doing in someone's bathroom. >> only licensed physicians can buy botox legally, and it should only be administered by licensed professionals. the san diego woman suffered a mild case. other victims, though, were hospitalized and even went on life support. >> our time is now 716 new. this morning, a report says the bay area is not doing well when it comes to air quality. the annual state of the air report from the american lung association just came out the bay area was in the top five regions in the whole country, with the highest year round pollution. only

bakersfield, visalia, fresno and eugene, oregon had worse air quality than the bay area. well, some of that is from wildfires. the lung association says. engines, wood burning stoves and other sources can give off those very unhealthy particles as well. a strange, unusual sight over a city in greece. the sky turned bright orange. take a look at this video from athens, greece. just look at your tv. an orange haze covered the city, caused by clouds of dust blown in from the sahara desert. and that's weird. greek officials called it one of the worst episodes of dust and sand concentration to hit that country in years, and said the dust could be a risk for people with health problems. as you can imagine, the dust is expected to begin to clear today. now that orange sky in greece may remind you here in the bay area of what happened about three and a half

years ago, right here, when our skies turned orange, the orange skies we saw back on september 9th, 2020 wasn't caused by dust. it was from wildfire smoke. the similar to the dust it blocked most of the blues. light from the sky, which made the air appear to be orange. >> remember that like it was yesterday, we remembered that most of us were working from home. i remember when i saw mike mibach picture pop up sale. you'll understand this in like the preview that we had, i said. i told the director, tell him to turn his light on and they said his light is on. there's just no light coming through the window, right? >> yeah, i know it was kind of a weird day and not something i want to see again. that's all right. good morning everyone. you know what we do have traffic here on highway four. that is pretty busy. just west of antioch through pittsburg. and getting over to concord, through bay point. that's typical. eastbound. there's some slowing in pittsburg as you head out toward, antioch. not that much, but a little bit. and right now

we do see traffic at the bay bridge. it's backed up all the way out to the maze metering lights are on and the bridge traffic is ordinary. we've seen a couple of things. something just came in eastbound on 580 on the richmond bridge, some sort of, not sure what it is, but a vehicle, it's a. oh, here it is. it's a garbage can in the middle lane on the richmond bridge. so we're going to see if that affects traffic. it's eastbound though the non commute direction 718. let's go back to steve with today's weather. >> what i remember about that there were still golfers out there on the golf course. seriously. yeah i looked out there they were. >> and they get that 18in. >> they didn't care. yeah and the street lights were on at one and two in the afternoon that i remember. all right. yeah. we do have a lot of high clouds and low clouds over us skies. orange don't care. let's go out and play golf. all right, we had 18 holes that day under orange skies. today we have a lot of gray skies. why? because we have low clouds and high clouds associated with that low which is heading into southern

california. but there's actually two systems now. the flow around us coming up is sending in a lot of high clouds our direction. and here comes a system for late thursday for out of the northwest. it's april, right? okay for the city, 63, 56, 63, 50 is average. so well above on the low and 85 the record in 1913, the 440 on the record low was not that long ago 2000 and also nine. but for the city temps they had one day where they popped up. that was sunday at 68. it's been 62, 68, 62 yesterday, 60. today we're going 63. so a little bit below average on those temps, 50 on the temps mid 50s for most 5455, 56 a little bit of a south southeast breeze. look at that half moon bay sfo hayward palo alto mountain mount that's associated with that upper low i just showed you. the next system though is not far away. thunderstorm activity was just going bonkers. northern sacramento valley, northeast california and near the sierra yesterday, especially about reno

north. the low will give us a cool to mild pattern. i say mild because if you can get through the cloud cover, there's a lot of humidity that might give us a little bit of a tropical feel. but the big news will be on on friday. cloudy and windy. possibility of some light rain for us, but i would think it's more towards mendocino county, sacramento valley, northeast california. look at truckee and south lake tahoe. that's not just a sprinkle or two. that's rain. low and high clouds, mostly cloudy, lots of clouds, some drizzle this morning. not a lot of reports, just a couple 60s on the temps. i'm banking on maybe antioch and morgan hill kind of breaking through the cloud cover to briefly get to 70, all the way into friday does look a little better though over the weekend you guys. >> thank you steve. a new plan to crack down on crime in san francisco. the concerns behind a proposed curfew meant to help the tenderloin neighborhood, and a new concern for scientists about the nation's milk supply. >> what they discovered, and the reason they're worried about avian flu

months in jail, but he's been out on bail for more than a year awaiting the trial. >> the chef and owner of a vegan restaurant in oakland says he is frustrated and considering his options after his restaurant was burglarized for the fourth time in three years. >> it's everything. it's crying, it's rage, it's anger, it's frustration. it's defeat. >> the most recent break in was this past monday morning. the restaurant, roasted and raw, has moved several times, started as a pop up in jack london square and is now located at 14th and jefferson in downtown oakland. the owner says he is at a loss. >> a couple of guys, young guys, broke in, they basically hit the glass and then they just go like, same. it's almost a routine. this is a oakland problem. it's not city hall's fault. it's everyone's fault. we all need to step up and do something. that goes for the owner. >> thought about moving again, but says he's locked in a lease and that he'll have to go to court if he tries to break it.

>> all right, guys, the time is 725. the fda says it found traces of h5 and one bird flu in milk from grocery stores sold all over the country. but officials are saying, don't worry, pasteurized milk is still safe to drink. the pasteurization process kills harmful bacteria and viruses in dairy products. the fda is also investigating a recent bird flu outbreak among cattle. it's been detected in more than 30 dairy herds in eight different states. the fda says the milk from the infected cows is being diverted or destroyed. now. 726 a new program is trying to make learning to write computer code fun for children. we'll tell you how they're teaching tech skills for the future of careers, and san francisco's post-pandemic recovery may have hit a snag. >> the new data that show the city actually took a ste

later today. just a cloud away, but lots of clouds, maybe little drizzle out there. south breeze, mostly cloudy if you can get through the cloud deck, you might be on the mild to warm side with this kind of a tropical feel, but i went 60s for all today. all right, sal is here now. bay bridge, toll plaza. highway for what? yeah all of them are going to be slow. >> steve, you hit it right on the head. of course. and that's a typical commute. the highway 80, interstate 80, i should say, at the toll plaza of the bay bridge, you will see some slow traffic at the toll plaza. we can put that up there. and you can see that it is backed up to the maze. metering lights are on . there have been no major problems and that should make you happy for not having to deal with crashes. now. san mateo bridge, westbound 92. there is a crash. it's just before the bridge. or is it just after? we're trying to figure it out, but something is going on here and you might have some slow traffic from hayward heading west. 731 let's go back to the desk.

>> okay, sal. thank you. well, 170 million americans are on tiktok, making it one of the nation's most popular social media apps. but the platform may stop existing here in the u.s. next year under a bill that was passed just last night by congress. ktvu allie rasmus is here now to explain how that bill would work and what tiktok's parent company says it will do in response. good morning. >> good morning dave. well tiktok's parent company, bytedance, has satellite offices all over the world, including here in the bay area, but it is headquartered in beijing, china. and us lawmakers and national security experts say that the company has very close ties with the chinese government to close, and that's why there was some bipartisan support among democrats and republicans in congress over the past week to pass this bill that could potentially ban tiktok in the us. the bill gives bytedance one year to sell tiktok to a non-chinese company, and if it

doesn't, the app would no longer be accessible to update or download on us phones after a year. lawmakers say they are concerned that the chinese government has too much information and influence over tiktok's 170 million us users. >> well, this bill is not a ban. it's about a divestment. and it's not really about tiktok. it's about bytedance, the company that owns tiktok and is indisputably controlled by the chinese communist party. >> the main thing i feel is, is conflict. i feel conflicted because on one hand, i've built a brand on their my company's is able to work with a lot of big brands on there to help them get their message out. it really is a way to get messaging out that can be positive, but ultimately it needs to be sold to an american company, i think, so that we can at least have some regulation on it. >> the tiktok ban was attached to and passed as part of a larger bill to give foreign aid to ukraine. israel and taiwan, and supporters say it's no different than how the chinese government treats us social media companies. facebook

instagram and snapchat. none of them are allowed to operate in china. the one year deadline would go into effect as soon as president biden signs this bill, and the white house says he is expected to sign it today. tiktok has not made any official statements in response to all this yet. but in an internal memo to its employees earlier this week that was leaked to the news site the information, the company's head of policy says that they plan to challenge this ban. if it becomes this bill, if it becomes law rather on the grounds that it violates the first amendment. live in san jose. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news okay, allie, thank you. >> and allie, just told you that same foreign aid package included billions of dollars in aid for ukraine and israel. now, the us senate overwhelmingly passed the bill just days after the house did the same. the bill gives $61 billion to ukraine, $26 billion for israel and $8 billion for taiwan to counter threats from china. the aid for

ukraine comes at a time that ukraine says it desperately needs new weapons to hold off attacks from russia. >> not every day you can say you made the world truly a better place, but i think the senate can say that tonight. >> now, president biden told ukraine's president the new air defense weapons will be on its way as soon as the legislation is passed. the president is expected to sign that bill later today. >> a group called save west portal is opposing proposed transit changes meant to improve safety in the neighborhood. the idea was in the works and is being prioritized now. after a family of four was hit and killed by a car at a bus stop near the west portal muni station, plans call for banning left turns on busy west portal avenue. those against it say that will put family run stores and restaurants out of business. sfmta is conducting its last poll with the public at 4:00 this afternoon. outside the west portal branch library. amanda works as a baker in san francisco, was in critical condition after being injured in

the change. violators would then be fined up to $1,000 by the health department if they stay open. >> our challenge is still occur at night. crowds of people that are there selling, selling stolen property, selling narcotics. we have drug users all over. >> the reason why we wanted to stay open is because, you know, we have to make more money to pay rent to pay, bills like bga, you know, phone bills, internet bills. and we have employees. i have like four employees at nighttime when i have extra security because, you know, of the area. >> mayor breed issued a statement. it reads in part, this is an idea for the community, from the community, the drug markets happening at night in the neighborhood are unacceptable and must be met with increased law enforcement and new strategy. his time at 737. the antioch school superintendent wants an independent review of allegations of bullying within the school district. the superintendent, stephanie

utility's plan to bury 10,000 miles of power lines to help limit wildfire risks. most of the areas are in rural sections of northern california. berkeley is hoping pge will add panoramic hill in parts of the berkeley hills to its plans. >> all right. our time is 745. there's a new rule in place to help workers change jobs, and it may allow for even higher pay. >> also, we've been reporting on job cuts at tesla. pam cook is back in studio examining tesla's stock in today's dollars and cents. >> it has been quite a busy stock. it is up 14% this morning. that's after elon musk's announcement that he is speeding up the timeline to produce lower cost evs. no specific details on the look of those new models, but for the year, shares are in tesla, down about 40% as competition has increased, particularly in china for more affordable evs. ring the opening bell this morning. the uconn men's basketball team visited the new york stock exchange to celebrate winning back to back ncaa national championships, taking you live

now to the exchange for the latest numbers. dow jones down about a quarter of a percent. as you can see live there on the big board. the s&p 500 down just slightly. still above 5000. the nasdaq gaining about a third of a percent. though tech stocks have done well lately, a new study finds. while some u.s. downtown areas are recovering from the pandemic, others are still struggling. the study by the university of toronto shows many cities are working to turn vacant office spaces into homes, and they're offering restaurants and other businesses tax breaks to locate downtown. 50 of the 64 downtown areas in the study saw increased activity over the last year. minneapolis did the best, with foot traffic up 45% in the last year. san francisco unfortunately, came in last place in the study, seeing a 21% decline in foot traffic over the past year. well, the ftc is banning employers from using non-compete contracts to prevent workers from joining rival firms

. the new federal rule will prevent companies in the us from enforcing most existing non-compete agreements and bans any new ones, the commission says. non-competes are a widespread and often exploitive practice that keeps wages low. the move is expected to face a challenge in the court from the us chamber of commerce. california companies already are prevented from using these clauses in employee contracts. we have an update on the financial problems of fisker, the electric car maker in southern california. the company , based in manhattan beach, has been on the verge of bankruptcy. now new paperwork filed with the securities and exchange commission. fisker announced it could file for bankruptcy within the next month if there is no infusion of cash. now, fisker missed a half $1 million interest payment last month and has laid off several hundred employees. the stock also in danger of being delisted. it is trading at just about $0.03 a share. and our next hour we're going to show you foot locker's new plan for new stores. i'm pam

cook. that's a look at your dollars and cents pam. >> thank you. well, many parents bemoan the hours their children spend playing video games. more hope that the love of video games will spur a new generation of game designers. one franchise capitalizing on this growing coding trend is called code. ninjas has over 300 locations in the u.s, more than a dozen here in northern california. its programs teach aspiring coders how to design video games. code lego robotics, and more. >> this is absolutely a growing trend. parents want their kids to move beyond just being consumers of technology. they really want them to understand the technology and understand that they themselves can have an impact on the technology. they can create things with technology, organizers of the program say it also helps teach children what are called soft skills, things like collaboration and communication that can be used in every avenue of life. >> i think that sounds reasonable. >> okay. all right. sal, did you fix everything out on the roads

yet? >> well, we're trying to, dave, that's for sure. dave and garcia, we do have slower traffic now. the bay bridge may get better at 830, and you know that if you do this every day. so people, sometimes they do wait around for things to improve. the richmond bridge is very slow this morning. we've had kind of an unusually slow backup. doesn't look different here, but it's just longer. it starts before it normally does and stretches all the way out to the middle of the span. also, if you look at some of these other commutes, you will see that the south bay commute is now beginning to get filled in. for example, 85 two 8101. all of those commutes are busier. it's not unusual, but it is going to be a little bit slower. now, if you're on 85 northbound and that's not a bad commute. getting up to cupertino. 750 let's bring steve back in with today's weather. >> all right sal, thank you. a lot of cloud cover over us. we'll start in san francisco, which has had one day over average. that was sunday when you hit 68 degrees here. 62.

saturday 62 monday 60 yesterday. and going 63 for today. so the low, by the way though is 56 and the average is 50. so for one of the few times the low has been running above average, that's today a lot of 50s due to the cloud cover and a southerly breeze south of livermore, southeast hayward hayward, sitting at 59. that's the warmest around here. look at all the thunderstorm activity from yesterday. and mendocino county, northern mendocino county, sacramento valley and then up towards shasta, lassen, northeast california along the sierra. but about reno north, i would expect a repeat performance today. two systems. one is the upper low just to the west of la. that's spinning in some high clouds for us. there's another system coming down from the northwest, so the one low goes through that gave us the big ramp up on the fog, the wind, the cool temps yesterday, a lot of high and mid level clouds. that's next. system sweeping that will be a cold front. so cloudy, windy and possibility of some rain for us. more likely though, it would be north and east of ukiah. a 10th

of an inch reading 2/10. look at susanville, truckee and south lake tahoe. that would be rain, probably snow would be around 7500ft, maybe 7000. but if you have travel plans thursday night, friday, and includes those areas, i would keep an eye on things here. a little bit of drizzle this morning. mainly cloudy, mostly cloudy. lots of clouds today, 60s to near 70 if you can get through the cloud cover kind of a muggy feel. there's a lot of, you know, coming up from the south that would do it. not much change through friday does look better on the weekend though. >> steve thank you. just over 24 hours to go here until the nfl draft. the final preparations in detroit for the big draft day party, then a proposal to change how those clear lanes at airport security work is moving forward with the california lawmakers who are making the decision have to say about the plan

bay area, still remembering and celebrating the life and legacy of san francisco's reverend cecil williams, the longtime pastor of glide memorial church, died monday at the age of 94. we talked to willie brown, the former san francisco mayor, who was a longtime friend of reverend williams, who said cecil williams, spirit of generosity and service came with a gift for delivering his message with a sense of joy and community.

>> see cecil's method of doing what he was doing made it impossible for anybody to turn him down, no matter how rich they were or how poor they were, because when they would participate in what cecil was about, it really was the incredible generosity of a human being who did so without questioning whether or not you understood what the #### was occurring. >> cecil willie brown also said he expects glide to continue to be strong with the influence of reverend williams to guide it. it is 756 a vote recount in the race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo in district 16 continues today. the original vote count had former san jose mayor sam liccardo leading with assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian tied for second place. the vote recount could

break the tie, which would result in two names advancing to the general election instead of three. >> there are always ballots that are set aside because something can't be verified, and now, with the recount, we're going back and looking at all of those. if the recount drops someone off the ballot, no reimbursement because it's not the same as adding a new person to the ballot based on the results of the recount. >> now, officials say the vote recount could wrap up on friday at which point they would certify the results and then send it to the secretary of state for approval. we'll testimony continues in the historic criminal trial of former president donald trump. yesterday, the former publisher of the national enquirer took the witness stand, describing how he helped trump bury negative news stories. david pecker specifically testified meeting with the then republican presidential candidate in 2015, asking how his publication could

help trump's campaign. experts say more witnesses will take the witness stand, but it's not clear right now if donald trump himself will be one of them. >> legally, i think trump would be much better off relying on the weakness of bragg's case. but politically, it's going to be consequential if he doesn't take the stand because they'll say he took the fifth. now yesterday, court began with a hearing on whether donald trump violated his gag order by making statements on social media. >> the judge hasn't ruled yet on it. testimony resumes tomorrow. well, a first of its kind, bill has passed in the senate transportation committee. the new law would address concerns about expedited airport screening services that let travelers pay to cut through those tsa lines. the committee passed the bill in a 8 to 4 vote. it would require fast track services like clear to pay for its own tsa staffed lanes at

airport security. if the identity screening companies don't comply, they'll be banned from the state. >> there's been lots of incidents over the last couple of years where, you know, we're unauthorized. travelers have use clear as a way of breaching tsa security. now supporters of clear say the service creates hundreds of jobs and serves more than a million americans and shares more than $13 billion in annual revenue with airport partners. >> this bill now moves forward to the senate appropriations committee. time now just about 759. tickets go on sale later this morning for this year's outside lands festival in golden gate park. the headliners include the killers, chris lake, victoria monet and post malone. post malone, by the way, who headlined the festival in 2022, will be performing a country music set at this year's event. the three day festival takes place august 9th through the 11th at golden gate park in san

francisco. the tickets go on sale at 10:00 this morning. general admission for all three days costs $465. >> well, good morning, governor gavin newsom wants to make it easier for people in arizona to get an abortion. but his efforts are not aimed at women who live in the state where there is a near-total ban. his new idea is aimed at doctors who want to perform the procedure. plus we are asking for people to, if they see anything. >> you know, we put out everywhere. >> a san francisco teenager found dead and the family searching for answers, telling us something does not add up. then i believe, a attempt of tesla to get better. >> but i don't think that we've seen the last of it. >> tesla announcing several thousand job layoffs, some of which will impact the bay area. while analysts think there more could be on the way from ktvu. fox two news this is mornings on two. welcome to mornings on two

at 8:00, live from our sutro camera toward alcatraz and some of san francisco. right there in the distance, you can see once again overcast skies this morning. thank you so much for joining us. i'm andre senior. good morning i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it's a milder wednesday, april 24th compared to what we had yesterday steve paulson, tell us where the trend is headed. >> trend is headed towards a cool pattern here. even cooler as we head towards the end of the week. it looks like you guys a lot of 50s here. a combination of low clouds, high clouds, higher clouds are coming in from the south. everyone is under cloudy skies, at least on the reporting station and 50s on the temps. so maybe not as cool as yesterday. it's on the more mild side for some hayward sitting at 59 degrees with a south wind and a little bit of that cloud cover. so it's just a cloud away. but there's a lot of them out there. and look for a little bit of drizzle here in the morning. cloudy to mostly cloudy today, maybe a few sun breaks. but if you get the sun breaks you might bump up to the upper 60s to near 70. but another day on the cool side. all right. sal's here. 801. where are we heading? south. yeah.

>> let's go actually, to highway four. steve, in some of these commutes, we'll have you happy. some not highway four, it's my. my daughter likes to say mid. it's not great, but not too bad. highway four. as you drive over to the willow pass grade and concord side, if you are driving over to the east bay to the bay bridge, you will see the traffic here is backed up all the way out to the maze. metering lights are on and the san mateo bridge has recovered after some earlier issues. although we still have some slowing from hayward to the toll plaza area 801. let's go back to the headlines. >> well, happening today, governor newsom is proposing a new way to help people in arizona get abortions in california, as arizona's near total abortion ban is about to begin in about a week from now. ktvu bailey o'carroll is in the newsroom with what the governor wants to do now. bailey. hey andre. >> good morning. governor gavin newsom wants the state of california to make it easier for doctors from arizona to come here to california to perform abortions. the governor would offer arizona abortion providers

an expedited way of getting licensed here in california. now, the move would require emergency legislation to pass because newsom wants the change in effect come may 1st. that is the same day that arizona's near-total abortion ban is set to go into effect. now newsom will announce the bill today, the governor's team said they are working closely with arizona's democratic governor, katie hobbs, a strong stance on abortion and abortion care is really nothing new for newsom. it's been a major focus of his. he's run ads all across the country, specifically in states where abortion bans have gone into effect, like in the south, and they are being paid for by his campaign for democracy pac. >> mass, i'm going to need you to step out of the vehicle, take a pregnancy test. >> since roe versus wade was overturned nearly two years ago, a number of conservative states have started to limit access to the procedure, while other states like california have taken steps to protect those rights, according to the

governor, people seeking reproductive care in the state is up 17% since roe versus wade was overturned about two years ago. now, according to politico. governor newsom will also reportedly be allocating $200 million towards reproductive health care. the money will go towards security at clinics, training for providers and transportation for parents or patients rather. back to you, bailey. >> thank you. today the supreme court will hear arguments in a case that could determine whether doctors can provide abortions to pregnant women who are having a medical emergency. >> the justice department has sued idaho over its abortion law, which allows a woman to get an abortion only when her life, not her health, is at risk. the question is whether idaho's law conflicts with the federal law that protects patients who need emergency care. >> parents of the east bay teen who parents are desperately trying to find out more information about how their 15 year old daughter turned up dead in san francisco. they say their

questions have been left unanswered. on saturday morning, jasmine pellegrini of bay point was found dead. her parents last saw her on wednesday night. they say their daughter left their family home with no phone or money. she had been released from a psychiatric hospital just three hours earlier. >> how can we call? we want, we want answers. we want to know who was with her. we want to know how did she get to san francisco? >> the family says she had been struggling with her mental health for years. they say they have no idea how she died, but are concerned that someone may have lured her into the city and that she may have been drugged. >> alameda county district attorney pamela price doubled down on her stance that the da's office is stronger under her leadership, amid calls for her to be removed from office. >> i can tell you that in our office, we are holding people accountable every day. we are charging people. we are prosecuting people. we are doing our part where it's appropriate that they are entitled to diversion. >> da price discussed her vision for public safety during a virtual town hall. she said she

ran and won on a progressive platform of reducing sentences for younger offenders, eliminating most sentencing enhancements and holding law enforcement more accountable. da price rejects the criticism that she is soft on crime. >> we're prosecuting people at the same level as my predecessor, and so this sense that people aren't being held accountable, i think is more driven, by the slant of the way things are being portrayed in the media and presented often, sometimes on social media. >> critics have gathered enough signatures to get a recall on the ballot. >> meantime, the alameda county board of supervisors has until next tuesday to schedule an election date for recall of da price. her critics, who formed the group save alameda for everyone, held a rally in oakland outside the county administration building at last week's board meeting. they accused supervisors of declining to start the recall process. >> we got the approved

signatures. you have hundreds of thousands of people that want this on the ballot and want to constitutionally have her recalled, and we need that done as soon as possible. >> the group projects the recall vote will likely take place sometime between late july and early september. >> new this morning, the us department of transportation has issued a final rule on airline flight cancellations and delays. the new rule requires airlines to promptly provide passengers with automatic refunds in the same manner the tickets were acquired when they're due. the new rule requires airlines to give refunds when they cancel or significantly change flights when checked bags are delayed, or when airlines fail to provide extra services purchased by passengers. the transportation department says. previously, airlines set their own standards for when to issue a refund, meaning policies differed from airline to airline. thousands of tesla workers in the bay area will be looking for new jobs, as tesla is eliminating some 6000 positions in california and

texas. about half of them are at tesla factories in fremont and palo alto. last week, tesla announced it was laying off more than 10% of its 140,000 employees. financial experts say that tesla also recently cut prices by $2,000 on its vehicles , in an effort to increase sales. >> i do believe that there is the possibility that we'll see more layoffs, because musk has announced that he wants to launch hot and heavy into, more automated production robotic factories. probably a lot of ai in that as well. >> layoffs are expected to start in june. analysts say growing competition in the electric vehicle market and cooling demand for evs are among the factors that led to tesla's move. >> a measure to build a new road for busses in palo alto is headed to the november ballot. the goal to free up traffic near university avenue. >> the proposed project would directly improve congestion and safety for all modes of transportation in this key

regional gateway. >> if the measure is approved, it would create a direct connection between palo alto transit center and el camino real. it would also require the city to carve out a portion of el camino park. proponents hope it will help bus passengers in the area save time. >> more than 23 million homes could lose internet access when a federal subsidy ends at the end of this month. the affordable connectivity program will run out of money unless congress extends it. the program provides monthly subsidies of 30 to $75 to help low income families pay for home internet service. supporters say that congress is known for months about the deadline, but has not moved on. president biden's $6 billion request to renew the program. about 35% of californians receive a subsidized internet at 809, a gas station on the peninsula, getting attention for its high gas prices at the chevron station in alameda de las pulgas in menlo park, gas prices hit more than $7 a gallon over the weekend, according to gasbuddy. >> that's the highest price in the bay area. the average price for gas in san mateo county is

$5.60, according to triple a time is 809. >> and if you're looking to save on that gas money. stop and go traffic is what absolutely kills your gas mileage. this is a look at 80 westbound coming out. it's still crowded, so if you want to adjust your commute times to go when there's not much of a crowd, you have to wait a little bit. highway four is still very slow from pittsburg to bay point, and we still have a bigger slowdown at the bay bridge, sometimes about 830 or 845. we have a much improved commute, and we'll let you know if that happens. 809 let's get back to the desk. >> well, a failing grade for the bay area when it comes to air quality. the new report that names our region as one of the worst in the country. >> plus, it's encouraging to see some of his age that was so determined. that was just absolutely committed to service. >> the funeral planned for this friday for an oakland police officer who was severely injured nearly six years ago in an on duty crash. how his family says

he'll be rememb

officer who has passed away after almost six years on life support. officer jordan wingate

was just 23 years of age at the time of the crash back in 2018. he was headed to the port of oakland to investigate a report of a suspicious person in the area. he collided with a car which sent his patrol suv into a parked big rig truck. wingate was rushed to highland hospital in critical condition. >> they said the likelihood of him surviving was very slim, but between the doctors and nurses, they just they kept them alive. his mom and i had to go, you know, pick out his casket and his gravesite. and, you know, these are things that parents, you know, you should be doing this for your parents, and your parents shouldn't be doing it for you. >> wingate came from a law enforcement family. his father, a retired oakland police captain, had the honor of pinning his badge at wingates police academy graduation. he was valedictorian, and the ceremony occurred on his birthday. >> the most important part of being a cop by far is talking to people. i think that was probably his biggest accomplishment was, you know, was just he was a people person,

you know, he just loved people. >> officer wingate received numerous honors despite a brief law enforcement career. the oakland police officers association named him rookie of the year. he is the 55th oakland police officer killed in the line of duty. >> officials in california are warning about counterfeit botox. that's being used in our state and others. the cdc says there have been about two dozen recent cases of botulism across 11 states. at least two of the cases happened in california, including a woman in san diego. she bought the bad botox online. it resulted in headaches, weakness and blurred vision and then took it to a botox party, where it was injected by an unlicensed and untrained person. >> these are elective procedures is not something that anybody ever has to do. so you really want to do your homework, be a good consumer, ask a lot of questions. this is not a treatment that you need to be doing in someone's bathroom. >> only licensed physicians can buy botox legally, and it should only be administered by licensed

professional. the san diego woman suffered a mild case, but other victims were hospitalized and went on life support. >> new this morning, one of college football's greatest running backs is getting his heisman trophy back. the heisman trust returned the coveted award back to former usc star reggie bush. the trust says the decision comes amid enormous changes in the college football landscape. in 2010, bush forfeited his heisman in the wake of a scandal at usc that included claims he received improper benefits during his college career. >> we're just one day away from the nfl draft night, and the league is putting the finishing touches on the big stage in downtown detroit. the venue is about a year and a half in the making. the goal is for draft night to look great in person and for people who watch at home. as many as 400,000 people are expected to be in detroit this week for the draft. the team behind the event says the stage is a product of the nfl, as well as people from around detroit. >> we went around to many different groups around the city and made sure that everybody had a perspective in the decor and then we took it back to our very

talented team, who wrote a brief and sort of brought it to life. >> the first round of the nfl draft starts tomorrow at 5 p.m, almost half of the 32 picks are expected to attend the draft in person. the niners first selection is pick number 31. >> all right. time now is 816. sal is keeping an eye on the roads this morning. sal, what do you got for us? >> yeah, we have slowing as we usually do. andre and garcia at the bay bridge for example. you will see traffic is backed up all the way out to the maze. today, it's looking unlikely it will clear up by 830, but maybe 845. we'll see some clearing. we'll see. some days it just doesn't happen until after nine. as you look at 880, it is pretty slow from 238 all the way down to stevenson. no crashes to report there. it's just going to be slow. and the south bay commute is still moderately heavy on the way to the valley. again, it's looking like a very typical day, which is to say a typical wednesday with a lot of slow traffic. 817 what about today's weather? here's steve, it's a good question.

>> thank you sir. all right. we'll take a look at the visible satellite because for this time of year, amazing amount of cloud cover here. not only low clouds but higher clouds coming in. i mean, take your pick. everyone's saying cloudy now. there's always a few breaks in the cloud cover, but for most locations, those are few and far between. unless you're over some of the higher elevations. a few little lines of sun out there, but it is a significant cloud deck for san francisco and 63 today. just because there were only 60 yesterday. a little bit more of a south breeze today, 56 low, which is well above the 63, is right where they should be. 85 the record high in 1913 and 40 not that long ago. 2009 on the record low. san francisco's only had one day above average going back to the past five. that was sunday, when they rocketed up to 68 degrees. but saturday and monday were 62. yesterday was 60, going 63 today. the upper low that is to the west southwest of us, it's more towards l.a, is pumping in some high and mid-level clouds that

opened the door to the significant cooldown and the rapid increase in the low cloud deck, which did not burn off for some yesterday at all. this is a cool pattern for us going all the way into friday 50s on the temps. the 57 poplar hayward is in there. san carlos, mountain view, san jose, livermore napa airport and everyone else is pretty close. there's another system coming in from the north. look at all the activity though. yesterday from the thunderstorms. northern sacramento valley, northeast california and along the sierra, but mainly from about reno north or on the lee side. but one system, the one to the south, will be into our weather today with cloud cover, then the next ones coming in from the northwest. that one is going to usher in a pretty good wind event is the way it's looking. if everything continues to come in a lot of high and low clouds today. cloudy, windy, maybe some light rain for us. more likely though, over the mountains and also norton, mendocino county up towards redding, north northeast california, truckee south lake tahoe. could be some pretty good rain showers there. and i'll show you this a future cast we call and always like to show

these, but it's the european model and it's i think it's pretty good here. and that's the one i'm basing it on. look it to the north and also over the sierra. then watch for us on friday. look at that starting to come in 4 a.m. and then here's four right there. noon. that's our best bet with snow up in the mountains. that'd be above probably around 6500ft. low and high clouds, mostly cloudy, a lot of cloud cover today. cool to mild temps if you can get some sun breaks. may not be too bad. 60s for most a few near 70. higher humidity though, so it might feel a little tropical if you get that sun. not a lot of change until the weekend when it does look a little better. >> steve. thank you. 820 now a new plan to crack down on crime in san francisco. why some residents aren't so sure about a proposed curfew meant to help the tenderloin and the avian flu has prompted new concern about a grocery item that many americans have in their homes right now.

concentration to hit the country in years, and said the dust could pose a risk for people with health issues. the dust is expected to start clearing today. that's seeing similar to what we saw here in the bay area back in september of 2020 during the northern california wildfires. similar to the dust, wildfire smoke blocked out much of the blue light from the sky, making the air in the bay area appear orange. the fda says it found traces of h5n1 bird flu in milk from grocery stores sold around the country, but officials say pasteurized milk is still safe to drink. >> the pasteurization process kills harmful bacteria and viruses, and dairy products. the agency is also investigating a recent bird flu outbreak among cattle. it's been detected in more than 30 dairy herds, dairy herds in eight states. the fda says the milk from the sick cows is being diverted or destroyed. a medical robot developed in silicon valley is being used to help fight lung cancer. >> the sunnyvale company intuitive surgical created a robot which helps doctors diagnose lung cancer faster and

more safely than previous methods. early detection is key to beating cancer, doctors say, delaying care and treatment by just six weeks can reduce a person's survival rate by 13. the robot, along with ct scans, help doctors perform a procedure that allows them to see a patient's lungs and detect cancerous nodules. >> this allows us to one get to the nodules that radiology could not otherwise get to two biopsy nodules from the inside, which which has a much lower risk of lung collapse. >> lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in this country, killing 125,000 americans every year. >> well, coming up, the new program trying to make learning to write computer code fun for kids, san francisco's post-pandemic recovery has hit a snag. >> what new data show about how the downtown district stacks up against activity in dozens of other regions nationwide

and welcome back. >> i'm gasia mikaelian i'm andre senior. >> thank you for joining us. today is wednesday, april 24th. we've got some cool temperatures that we're dealing with. i know you like the warmer temperature, but it's a little you know the bay area. so it's only temporary. yeah it's only temporary steve boston here. now more on that for us. >> this is pretty amazing i remember sunday, monday were nice warm. we had some 80s inland but by their gone we're under cloudy skies. it's a low cloud deck. it's fog. it's a high cloud deck and 50s on the temps. and i mean i just there's not going to be many breaks if you get one. it probably will be on borrowed time. i don't think it'll last very long. not only low clouds but higher clouds coming in from a low which is heading towards central and southern california. so just a cloud away. and i'll tell you, that's a lot of clouds out there. we will have a cool to mild conditions if you can get the sun. maybe it might be on the mild side, but most locations are running well below average except near the coast. all righty. sounds here. we've been south, we've been east. we've been the bay bridge. this time we are going where we're going back to the bay bridge.

>> i want to see steve. if it's going to improve. and if we're going to be happy by 9:00, we'll see. right now, it still looks pretty busy. i don't see any sign of improvement. i look at the top there. it's because of an earlier stalled vehicle on the bridge that we've been set back. so maybe 915 will be the target instead of 845 today. again, because of that earlier stall that's been pushed off the bridge, san mateo bridge, dumbarton bridge, recovering from some things here. but for the most part getting okay northbound 880. by the way, coming out of 238, getting up to san leandro, there was a crash right near marina. they may have moved it to the side, but as i like to say, the damage is done. it's slow traffic. there 830 let's get back to the desk. >> thank you. sal. tiktok users in the us may have to find another social media site to communicate their thoughts, and in some cases, make a living as soon as next year. congress passed a bill last night that includes a possible ban on tiktok. katy ali rasmus live now to explain what this means, ali. >> yes, congress passed that bill last night and just in the

last half hour, president biden signed that bill into law. it was part of a larger bill that the president signed with directing aid to ukraine and taiwan and israel. but there's 170 million americans that are on tiktok. and last night, the senate approved a bill that would give bytedance, the parent company of tiktok, one year to sell to a non-chinese company. and if it does not, tiktok would no longer be accessible to update or download on us phones. and again, the president signed that bill into law this morning. so why did both republicans and democrats support and pass this potential ban? bytedance is a chinese company headquartered in beijing, and us lawmakers and security experts say the company has close ties to the chinese government. they worry about that foreign government having too much information and influence over tiktok's millions of us users. >> the fear here is okay, so this data is available and the chinese government can have access tot. the worst case

scenario is we have election years coming and we have elections, you know, you know, going on. so a deepfake video, you know, a fabricated picture for some that will spread like fire in tiktok and that could have an impact. >> i don't think that it should be banned, but i think that there should be some restrictions put on it to make it safer to use, for our youth. i think that if it's used properly, it could be such an amazing educational tool. >> now again, this tiktok ban was passed as part of a larger bill to give foreign aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan that president biden did sign into law just in the last half hour this morning. and supporters of the ban and the potential ban say it's no different than how the chinese government treats us. social media companies facebook, instagram and x they aren't allowed to operate in china. now. tiktok hasn't made any official statements in response to all of this just yet. we are awaiting to hear

from that. but in an internal memo sent to employees earlier this week, facebook's or excuse me, bytedance and tiktok's us executives say that they plan to challenge this law in court on the grounds that it violates the us first amendment. live in san jose. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news and that same foreign aid package included billions of dollars in aid for ukraine and israel. >> the us senate overwhelmingly passed the bill just days after the house did the same. the bill gives $61 billion to ukraine, $26 billion for israel and 8 billion for taiwan to counter threats from china. the aid from ukraine comes at a time the country says it desperately needs new firepower to hold off russian attacks. >> not every day you can say you made the world truly a better place, but i think the senate can say that tonight. >> president biden told ukraine's president that the new air defense weaponry will be on its way as soon as the legislation is passed. president biden is expected to sign that bill later today.

>> a group called save west portal is opposing proposed transit changes meant to improve safety in that san francisco neighborhood. the idea was in the works and is now being prioritized after a family of four was hit and killed by a car at the bus stop near the west portal, muni station, plans call for banning left turns on busy west portal avenue. those against it say that'll put family run stores and businesses out of business. the sfmta is conducting its last poll with the public at 4:00 this afternoon outside the west portal branch library. me, amanda works as a baker in san francisco, is in critical condition after he was injured in a hit and run. jesus zamudio was riding an electric scooter to work at bob's donuts at about 3 a.m. sunday, when he was hit by a car at dubose and guerrero. the driver did not stop the crash, left him unconscious. coworkers say zamudio worked seven days a week at the two bob's donuts locations. >> i known him for so long, and you know, we work together and it's a good, kind of person. >> zamudio's family says he worked to support his wife and two young children in mexico. bob's donuts set up a gofundme

account that raised almost $20,000 so far to help pay for his medical bills. >> at 835, we told you that san francisco mayor london breed wants to put forward a proposal to force some shops in the tenderloin to close after midnight, with the ultimate goal to reduce crime and open air drug markets. ktvu christien kafton now has more this morning from those. such a move would impact when it comes to street conditions in the tenderloin. >> san francisco police say they've made a lot of progress, particularly in the daylight hours. but when night falls, police say they still have a lot of work to do, and that illicit activity often centers around businesses that operate overnight. now the mayor's office is introducing new legislation that would close businesses that sell prepackaged food or tobacco products from midnight to 5 a.m, police say they back the plan. >> our challenge is still occur at night. crowds of people that are there selling, selling, stolen property, selling narcotics. we have drug users all over. and what the problem is, is that when you have businesses that are open, like liquor stores and smoke shops,

it just attracts more people. >> the mayor's office says the idea has a lot of grassroots support from residents and neighbors. tim benson is a manager at angelina's restaurant in the tenderloin. restaurants operate late into the evening, and he says sometimes customers or workers feel threatened. he says he hopes that the city could step in and help businesses that have their hours cut. but he says he thinks that shutting some of those businesses down where drug users and drug dealers congregate, may help the neighborhood as a whole . >> police have been much more active. dpw has been out helping the cleanup effort, but it seems to be mostly a daytime issue. and at nighttime, it's sort of a still. the wild, wild west plaza snacks and deli opened last year and operates 24 over seven. >> the man behind the counter didn't want his name or face used, but said that the business doesn't sell alcohol or tobacco and serves an important role in the neighborhood as one of the few locations to buy nutritious food. he says costs to operate the business are high, so he has to keep the doors open 24 hours. the new legislation, he said,

would hurt his business. >> the reason why we wanted to stay open is because, you know, we have to make more money to pay rent, to pay, bills like pg and e, you know, phone bills, internet bills. and we have employees. i have like four employees at night time when i have extra security because, you know, of the area, some san francisco residents say closing the shops won't make much of a difference in the end. >> i don't think it's going to work at all because people are still homeless and they're still out here all night long, so the markets don't really have anything to do with the crime. >> if the board of supervisors approves the new legislation, the new hours would not be enforced by police other than issuing warnings. any business that violates the proposed new hours would be fined up to $1,000 by the department of health. police, though, would be the eyes and ears on the streets to see if, in fact, businesses are complying. in san francisco, christien kafton ktvu fox two news. >> happening today, you may see smoke if you're in some parts of santa cruz county near big basin redwoods state park. prescribed burn just began at 8:00 in the

northern part of the park, where the csu complex fire burned three years ago. roads and trails will not be closed, officials with the california state park say plans for the burn really do depend on the weather. it's expected to continue through next week. here at home today, people at uc berkeley are celebrating hatch day, welcoming the new peregrine falcons on top of the campus bell tower. so far, three of the four eggs have hatched in that nest. a fourth could hatch any day now. they're all the offspring of annie, the falcon that's lived on top of the campanile at the cal campus since 2016, and he's had up until this year, she had 18 chicks. >> so far she has. now she has 21 at least. we're lucky that that annie and archie seem to be very healthy and that we've got three more chicks at today's hatch day gathering will be held at the berkeley art museum and pacific film archive. >> that's right near the entrance to the campus in downtown berkeley. >> 839 is your time, steve paulson back with us this morning. he's keeping an eye on things. how's it going, steve?

>> it's going cloudy. that's a it's a pretty impressive pattern for us to be this cool here. we do have low clouds, higher clouds. the higher clouds are coming up from a low which is to the west southwest of us. it's heading more towards los angeles and there's another system coming down the north which will play into our weather tomorrow evening, overnight into friday. i mean, there might be a sunbreaks or two for some, but there's a lot of cloud cover here. temperatures have been in the 50s all morning long, 53 to 59. there is a slight southerly breeze, so if you can get through that, maybe santa clara valley might get a few near 70. but i have 60s for almost everybody here. the city 6356 average is 6350. so well above on the low. the records 85 on the high, 1913 in the 40 on the record low. not that long ago 2009. speaking of the city, they've only had one day out of the last five that shot up above average. that was on sunday 68. saturday was cool. monday, tuesday and today also right there. so generally though, it's been below, except for one day

out of the last 550 is on the temps here. hayward 58, san carlos, menlo park, mountain view, brentwood, vacaville 59. but boy, there's a lot of cloud cover out there. the low is on its way out. it's getting bumped along by a system to the north. so cool. maybe mild for a few if you can get a little bit of sun here, but a lot of low and high clouds. cool to mild on the temps. that low gets kicked out. next system swinging in will give us cloudy skies. could be some rain out of this system i would think again more towards the north. it won't be for today or really tomorrow, but late thursday going into friday. take a look at this. you can see how this is developing. and then on friday if we get anything, could that be the day snow up in the mountains? probably above 6500ft. but you can see that around noontime that would be the best opportunity for us. could be some pretty good rain here for some, especially over the mountains and also northern sacramento valley and even up into mendocino county. that'd be a pretty good rain. so i'm going up there, i'm camping. it'll be sunny and warm. no it won't, not on thursday or friday. low and high clouds, lots of clouds, mild temps. cool for some, mild,

maybe for others 60 though on the temps well below average here at naaimur on sunday and monday we had some 80s inland. not anymore, they're long gone. it does look a little better though. on the weekend. >> thank you. the u.s. department of agriculture makes a decision on whether a childhood staple can stay in elementary school cafeterias amid calls to ban chocolate or strawberry milk. we'll tell you if those options will still be available as part of school lunch and what the city of berkeley wants from pg and e to otec ho

looking at interstate 880. we have that traditional slow traffic heading up to downtown oakland and still busy on that san mateo bridge. there was an earlier stalled vehicle there, south bay commute that's moderately heavy. you can see from our pictures here on 101. still some slowing here near mckee and 280 seems better as you pass race street. 849 let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> all right sam, thank you. cloudy, cloudy. a combination of low clouds and high clouds over us. there might be a couple of sun breaks, but not too many. visible satellite has painted us with a cloudy pattern here. all because there's two systems. one to the south. that's the one that really increased the low cloud deck, and also spinning in some high and mid-level clouds. and another one is on the way from the northwest, so it's a cool pattern. it might be on the mild side if you can get some sun breaks, especially santa clara valley with a south breeze, you might hire humidity, might push upper 60s to near 70, but there's just a lot of cloud cover around here. cloudy and the wind will crank up on friday. it could be a little bit of activity for us. more likely

it'll be over the mountains, out to the valley and also northward. but i mean, you're seeing quarter inch to a third of an inch being forecast for some not too far away from us, but especially over the mountains. low and high clouds, mostly cloudy, been some drizzle, a lot of clouds, cool to mild temps. i kept everyone, mainly in the 60s. could be an isolated 70 or so, but it's a cool pattern for us. nothing really changes until the weekend when it does look a little better. >> steve, thanks. while it's definitely getting more expensive to fill up your gas tank, one gas station on the peninsula is leaving drivers stunned. check out these prices here. the price that's causing sticker shock and making headlines in menlo park. >> a proposal to change how those clear lanes at airport security work is moving forward with the california lawmakers, who are making the decision have to say about the plan.

williams, the longtime pastor of san francisco's glide memorial church, died monday at the age of 94. we spoke with his longtime friend, former san francisco mayor willie brown. brown said reverend williams spirit of generosity and service came with a gift for delivering his message with a sense of joy and community. >> cecil's method of doing what he was doing made it impossible for anybody to turn him down, no matter how rich they were or how poor they were, because when they would participate in what cecil was about, it really was the incredible generosity of a human being who did so without questioning where whether or not you understood what the #### was occurring. >> willie brown said he expects glide will continue to stay strong with reverend williams influence to guide it along the way. the recount in the race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo

continues today. the original count had former san jose mayor sam liccardo leading with assembly member evan low, and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian tied for second. the recount could break the tie, which could result in two names advancing to the general election instead of three. >> there are always ballots that are set aside because something can't be verified. and now, with the recount, we're going back and looking at all of those. if the recount drops someone off the ballot, no reimbursement because it's not the same as adding a new person to the ballot based on the results of the recount. >> officials say the recount could wrap up friday, at which point they'll certify the results and send it to the secretary of state for approval. >> testimony continues in the criminal trial of former president donald trump. yesterday, the former publisher of the national enquirer took the stand, describing how he helped mr. trump bury negative news stories. david pecker testified about meeting with the then republican presidential candidate in 2015, asking how his publication could help mr. trump's campaign. it is unclear

just yet as to whether the former president himself will take the stand. legal >> i think trump would be much better off relying on the weakness of bragg's case, but politically it's going to be consequential if he doesn't take the stand because they'll say he took the fifth. >> court began yesterday with a hearing on whether former president trump violated his gag order by making statements on social media. the judge has not ruled yet on that issue. testimony will resume tomorrow. we now have hundreds of pages of documents relating to former president trump's handling of classified materials. the documents provide a specific timeline of the fbi raid at mr. trump's mar a lago estate in august of 2022. we've learned 30 fbi personnel were on scene, stayed for nearly ten hours. the documents say a full investigation began five months before the raid last june. former president trump was indicted for violating the espionage act accused of illegally keeping more than 300 highly classified documents and committing obstruction by not returning them. he has pleaded not guilty. >> first of its kind, bill has
