and psychologically draining it is. >> it's the day to stand together. >> it's a day to affirm that there is no excuse for sexual violence, no matter what a person is wearing. >> the origin of denim day date back dates back to 1992. a court case in italy. it was overturned because a judge said the victim was wearing tight jeans and therefore she must have helped her attacker remove the jeans, thereby implying consent. part of what the city of san francisco is recognizing. five officers in a ceremony. >> it's special. this includes two women making a difference in their community. ktvu is amber lee talked with the two police officers about what this recognition means to them. >> police officers brittany taylor and wing luk are being honored by the city of san francisco for their outstanding work. the two women received recognition for their actions during an incident on the graveyard shift of 93 at age 65,
4:46 am
shortly after one in the morning on february 8th, the two officers were patrolling in their squad car in the south of market area when they noticed a man riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, which is illegal. officer luk got out of the car to speak with him. >> i asked him to get off of his bike and then he kind of ditched his bike and hopped over here. ran over. >> luk chased on foot. the two officers managed to take down the suspect, who is a convicted felon, but the officers didn't stop there. they retraced the man's steps and gathered evidence that he had tossed out a stolen gun that was loaded and illegal narcotics, including methamphetamine and fentanyl. you don't know what's going to happen, but at the end of the day, you're ready for it. police chief bill scott says the female officers are part of what he describes as a momentum, a turnaround in policing here and across the country. >> there is a lot of research out there that talks about, you know, the benefits of having women in law enforcement, lower rates of use of force,
4:47 am
de-escalation tactics. >> you need a medic or anything. >> both officers are 34 years old. luk, a bilingual chinese american, is a rookie. she was an accountant and wanted a career change to law enforcement. but she says initially, the anti-police sentiment stemming from the george floyd incident gave her pause. >> i wanted to be like the change that, we wanted to be. so in order to do that, you can't just criticize. >> taylor has been patrolling the streets for five years. she says being a gay african american woman will hopefully encourage people from many different backgrounds to join law enforcement. >> the only way you can stop the bad things that's happening out there is to put on the uniform and go and do something about it, the san francisco police department tells me female officers currently only make up 15% of its force. >> the goal is to reach 30% by the year 2030. in san francisco, amber lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amber, thank you. time is 447, a bill aimed at
4:48 am
avoiding punishing students for drug use or drug possession on campus was just introduced in sacramento. it would require staging interventions before students are suspended or expelled. now, the author of the bill says schools will be required to connect students with treatment services first to help break the cycle of punishment. it's often associated with drug use. >> this is an important health and even potentially life saving measure by allowing schools to refer students to programs, we can get them the much needed resources they need. now assembly member ramos says more than 83% of drug related suspensions are against students of color. >> this bill has the support of several children's advocacy and mental health groups. and if it's approved that measure would take effect in two years. >> scientists in england say artificial intelligence can help discover medical wonders. in nature, 40% of drugs are derived
4:49 am
from plants, and researchers theorize if they dig even deeper, more medication can come from plants. scientists at england's royal botanic gardens are now using ai to analyze the properties of hundreds of plant species. they can then cross-reference their genetic data with known medicines being used today, the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel was first isolated from the pacific yew, which resulted in killing many trees because it was sourced from the bark, and so scientists turned to a related species in the same genus and extracted similar chemicals from the leaves. and researchers say finding those new plants to make medication is critical, since extracting materials from the same type of plants over time could cause dramatic declines in those species. i love that, very
4:50 am
interesting. yeah all right. steve paulson has our forecast. where are you starting? >> west coast. because there's a lot going on. our system down south has taken the turn. it's kind of fizzled out. but that's the one that gave us the big cool down earlier in the week. it's getting replaced by another system pushing into the north. and that one we will get a lot of cloud cover out of. this could be some light rain. more likely it'll be to the north. i'll mention mendocino county, lake county, northern sacramento valley, and the sierra for sure. they're in a they're they're closer to the proximity of the system, versus, we're a little bit too far to the west, but we'll keep it in the forecast 50s for most. there's just too much cloud cover, 20s in the mountains, 40s 50s for many until you hit southern california. so one system takes the turn. the next one is on its way. it will be here today, tonight into friday, and then the end result will be a lot of cloud cover. continued. cool probably some drizzle or light rain. then the wind picks up tomorrow. any mountain snow? yeah, it looks like a little bit. probably above lake level though. the way it looks 6000 507,000ft. and then after that, it looks like we'll start to get
4:51 am
a little bit of a break here as we go into the weekend. but a lot of cloud cover today. the breeze will be with us. temperatures well below average, 60s on the temps well well below inland coast and bay are not that far below. but after friday though, this weekend starts to look better into early next week. >> all right. sounds good. thank you steve a new center for business is coming to downtown san francisco. how it's all thanks to new flexibility from city hall to help bring business back to the city. and challenges still ahead for san francisco mayor london breed and her plan to bring pandas to the zoo, the legislation she hopes will pay for their new enclosure witho using tax lars 100% of dark spots

4:54 am
recent study shows by 2030, there could be 15,000 fewer vets than needed to care for the number of pets in the us. part of the blame is the cost of getting through college to become a veterinarian. >> most vets are graduating with an average of about $160,000 in student loans. and then the shortage also goes into the fact that veterinarians, oftentimes, once they graduate, they want to start repaying those loans. and so they're going to look for more lucrative jobs in larger cities and things like that. working at municipal shelters, nonprofit vets are not going to be nearly as lucrative as a private practice. >> now, some shelters are sending workers into the community to help and the humane society says getting pets spayed and neutered help with keeping the population in check. the san francisco zoo is in line to get two giant pandas from china, but first, the city has to raise money and make sure it has a
4:55 am
proper home for the animals. mayor london breed wants the money raised through private donations, not tax dollars. right now, it's illegal for that to happen. the mayor is introducing new legislation that would temporarily lift restrictions on city leaders seeking private funds to pay for projects. >> the public private partnerships of raising private dollars to help with public projects can't happen unless you go through a process like this. >> construction on the pandas enclosure has an estimated price tag of $25 million. 14 bison from the oakland zoo departed for montana to a zoo. employees posted this video of the bison getting into a trailer yesterday . this marks 38 total heritage bison from the oakland zoo to be released to the care of the blackfeet nation. it's all part of an effort to restore the wild bison population to their native landscape. the oakland zoo has been a major contributor to that effort since 2016, when uc berkeley's cal falcons welcome
4:56 am
their fourth baby, peregrine, and his fourth and final egg hatched right on hatch day yesterday, the day the university held the held to educate the public on the falcons that have lived atop the school's campanile clocktower for years. >> this is like the culmination of tons of conservation effort to bring these falcons back from the brink of extinction and to have four new chicks this year is just so wonderful to see, and annie has never hatched a full clutch of four before, so four chicks before. so this is a really exciting time for her. >> the chicks will live with their parents for the next ten weeks or so before leaving the nest. california garlic festival is on the move once again. this time it is heading to los banos in merced county. for the past two years, the festival took place in stockton, and before that it was of course in gilroy.
4:57 am
for many years. that city canceled the event indefinitely following a deadly mass shooting. organizers say they're now moving it to los banos to be closer to where the garlic is grown. the location change also makes it easier for vendors near the original festival to participate. >> we thought it was best to be centrally located between the top, producing garlic county. >> it's kind of a way to tie the two communities together, and i think it's, you know, it's pay homage to them. be thankful for what they started. unfortunately, it's, not there anymore. but hey, we'll pick up the mantle and run with it. >> the california garlic festival is set to run august 30th through september 1st. tickets go on sale later this week. oakland unified school district held its second annual vocal festival wednesday night. it featured performances from east oakland elementary, middle and high school students. our very own. the festival was a
4:58 am
castlemont high school. it's a culminating performance where students show off the vocal pieces they have been working on at school, essentially an initiative to reestablish the legacy of choral music in deep east oakland. >> so we've got six schools in east oakland that are participating in music classes during the day. they're learning choir, singing, vocal performance, all those things. they're being taught by teaching artists that are coming into the schools on a week to week basis. >> the curriculum covers several genres, from gospel to r&b. anything. else the students are interested in as well? can all be included in that. all right, now to some food for thought while you're on your next vacation. can be present and enjoy the moment. a new poll found that 20% of americans start planning their next vacation while they're on vacation. the research, conducted by onepoll for a timeshare company, found that workers who do this are preparing for the post vacation
4:59 am
slump, and planning another trip helps them get out of it. the average person spent 11 days on vacation last. year, and they hope to spend 15 days on vacation this year. >> well, cracking down on in san francisco on parking. we'll tell you why. city officials believe this could have an impact on the number of traffic accidents. >> i was shocked to see what's going on here. >> i support the students right to protest at rising tensions on the campus of the university of southern california. >> we're going to show you how pro-palestinian protesters clashed with the police from ktvu. >> fox two news this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it's thursday april 25th. we want to check in with steve paulson for our weather today. >> cloudy and cool again. that's the way it's looking here. 40s 50s on the temps. another system is on the way. we're on the
5:00 am
western edge of it though. but we'll get the low clouds and then the high and mid level clouds and maybe some light rain later this evening overnight into early friday. then the breeze will pick up. the good news though, is the weekend does look better, but another unseasonably cool system will be sliding through. so look for 60s across the board here as temps struggle to get near average on the coast and they're still below average inland southeast here. he made it to the first hour stress free. what about now? >> yeah, it's still looking pretty good steve i like what i see so far on this early thursday morning. let's go right to the bay bridge. there's not a big backup right now. if you are driving triple a traffic camera will show you that traffic is going to be moving along pretty well as you drive through. there have been no major issues here. if you drive into that area. let's take a look at highway 24 westbound from the triple a traffic camera. you can see that traffic is moving along okay. and there have been no problems on the san mateo bridge westbound 92. that looks good.
5:01 am
and so does the dumbarton bridge. as you drive across the bay. 5:00 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal multi-visit, san francisco now live in the city. and you think parking is bad now it could get worse. the sfmta says they're going to crack down on some parking. ktvu bailey o'carroll live in the city with more on the proposed changes. bailey >> hey, pam. good morning. yeah, sfmta really going to be cracking down on folks parked illegally, coming up here now, this crackdown is really all in an effort to make sure that people, pedestrians and drivers stay safe on city streets in san francisco. so what does this exactly mean for drivers? well, it will mean that you might want to be a little more careful when parking in the city. the director of sfmta said that they're going to dramatically increase the amount of citations that they issue. parking enforcement agency agents will specifically target people
5:02 am
parked illegally, whether that be in red zones, on sidewalks or in crosswalks, all in hopes of again keeping san franciscans and visitors safer. a renewed attention was turned to the issue after a family was killed in the city's west portal neighborhood while they were waiting at a bus stop there. now after or i should say, in a city meeting, the director of sfmta said that in addition to their normal duties, parking enforcement operators in each district here in san francisco will do about a week of intensive enforcement each month. specifically, and particularly when it comes to safety oriented rules. now there was a large dropoff, of course. of course, in tickets issued during the pandemic. sfmta has returned to near normal issuing levels, though they still haven't quite reached that same number as pre-pandemic. but according to data from the city just last month, sfmta issued
5:03 am
just over 101,000 tickets. pre-pandemic levels were right around 115,000, so they're hoping again that that goes up in an effort not just to issue more tickets, but rather to make sure that people are staying safer. and in that meeting that i just mentioned earlier, the director of sfmta said that they are able to put a renewed focus on this because for the first time since before the pandemic started, they are fully staffed at that ops level. when it comes to people issuing tickets here out on the streets reporting live in san francisco, i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. okay, bailey. >> thank you. time is 503. the campus of the university of southern california. now closed until further notice because of all the clashes between pro-palestinian protesters and the police and similar college campus protests are spreading around the country. they started in new york city at columbia university and have now spread to uc berkeley and usc and
5:04 am
there's a new rule at usc. no one can come on the campus without first showing id proving you're a student or a member of the faculty or staff. as i get back. los angeles police, for the time being, will patrol that area. authorities say many of the protesters were not connected to usc. 93 arrests were made on trespassing charges . one person was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. no one holding up. >> i love it, i love it. i think it's very necessary. i hope it doesn't escalate the way it has at columbia university. i think it's a peaceful protest and it's necessary now. >> tents were set up by some of the demonstrators for a sit in protest. no injuries reported last night, although some protesters threw bottles and other objects at the police.
5:05 am
>> here in the bay area, more tents are popping up at uc berkeley as the protests grow. more than 75 students, faculty and alumni created the free palestine encampment outside sproul hall. they're demanding the uc system divest from defense and weapons related firms such as lockheed martin and blackrock, that are accused of profiting from the ongoing war in gaza. >> no rest until divest like we are here for the long haul. you know, we plan to hold the uc accountable to its, you know, to its self-proclaimed mission. you know, i mean, as the home of the free speech movement, we are handling and dealing with this protest in a manner that's completely consistent with uc policy that says we must only turn to law enforcement if there is a specific and credible threat to people's safety. >> there is less than three weeks before the end of cal's spring semester, so far, the demonstration has been peaceful, uc says it does not plan to change its investment policies or practices, but universities across the country are considering making changes to

5:07 am
solution. >> delaney easton, who was california's first female superintendent of public education, has died and is being remembered for her many achievements. state leaders praised easton on social media and honored her as a trailblazer. tony thurmond, the current superintendent of public education, spoke about easton's dedication to california students. easton, who was born in san diego, grew up in san mateo county before she was elected to the state assembly in 1986, she served on the city council in union city. a public celebration of her life will be held this summer. >> time now 506 psychologist testified in court on behalf of the doctor who's accused of deliberately driving his family off devil's slide cliff, near pacifica. dharmesh patel's defense they want permission admission into a mental health diversion program instead of putting him on trial for charges of attempted murder. however san mateo prosecutors have filed motions opposing that request. they say he intentionally tried

5:11 am
earlier this week has moved into southern california. next system is dropping down from the north. good rain though, up in seattle and portland for sure. any travel plans there? it will be a rain or we'll get a lot of cloud cover out of this. and maybe some light rain, more likely over the mountains. sacramento north and also mendocino county, lake county, i would think, of course, on the north coast, del norte, humboldt county and forecast models kind of hinting a little bit towards san jose, santa cruz down to monterey and over to fresno. so that'll be tonight into tomorrow. 50s on most of the temps here, 20s in the mountains, 62 reading to 57 in bakersfield, 63 in palm springs you can see the dip in the jet stream over southern california. here comes our next system again. maybe a little drizzle here. we'll keep a lot of cloud cover, and it's more show than go. but some light rain is certainly possible. the line is being drawn. half moon bay, redwood city, fremont, livermore south more so than north. so we've seen this before. i see no reason to say now that won't happen, so we'll leave it in the forecast, a little bit of light snow possible tonight overnight into tomorrow as well. mainly above 6500ft. a lot of low clouds and
5:12 am
a lot of high and mid-level clouds. 50, 60 on the temps. we'll see more of the same tomorrow, along with an increase in the wind, but it does look slowly better going into the weekend. >> concerns about a surge in domestic violence cases, the alarming numbers and why money may be the problem, and a documentary about the disappearance and killing of alexis gabe, a teenager from oakley, premieres in the east bay. >> you'll hear from her family and frien bout why

5:18 am
result of relaxed zoning laws that were passed last year that allowed downtown office spaces to be on the ground floor. it is 517. well, this week, vta workers started on site preparations for the second phase of the bart expansion into the south bay. those work crews are working on expanding the newhall maintenance facility near santa clara university, and people in santa clara and san jose. you should expect more truck activity out there as the first construction site of the project is being prepared, the bart extension will build a subway through downtown san jose. the project's expected to cost $13 billion, and service is scheduled to begin 13 years from now. san francisco's public utility commission is hosting a webinar today to discuss efforts to purchase the city's power grid from pg and e. >> now, the commission claims the transition would mean affordable electric rates for residents. the webinar will

5:20 am
some of the moisture here that looks to favor areas south half moon bay, redwood city, fremont, livermore south more so the north. so we won't ignore that. but mainly it's in the mountains and there could be a little snow up there as well, especially above above 6500ft. but it's possible it could get down to lake level late tonight or early tomorrow morning. probably a heavy wet snow. lots of clouds, cloudy afternoon, breezy, maybe some light rain, but unseasonably cool again. if today isn't the coolest day, then tomorrow will be. then. after that we will see a slow rebound into the weekend. >> all right steve thank you. time now 519 a new way to deal with students who are caught with drugs at school. we tell you how the bill aims to do something other than discipline them. and the 2020 election will be the focus of the u.s. supreme court. the arguments the court is hearing about onald trump and possible

5:24 am
president who has no accountability for even the most egregious crimes. there's a good chance the courts are going to try to find a third option. >> the supreme court is expected to issue a ruling sometime in late june. meantime, in arizona, a grand jury indicted donald trump's former chief of staff, mark meadows, attorney rudy giuliani, and 16 others for their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. now, according to the indictment , some of those republicans acted as fake electors, submitting a document to congress falsely declaring that donald trump won the state of arizona. however, president biden won arizona by more than 10,000 votes. the indictment also includes charges of conspiracy and fraud. well, it's a fight over reproductive rights. the u.s. supreme court once again taking on the issue of access to abortions. the court has heard oral arguments on whether idaho's abortion ban

5:49 am
approved, the measure would take effect in about two years. >> our time is 548. scientists in england say artificial intelligence can help discover medical wonders in nature. 40% of drugs come from plants, and researchers believe if they dig even deeper, more medications can come from plants. scientists at england's royal botanic gardens are now using artificial intelligence to study the properties of hundreds of plant species. they can then cross-reference their genetic information with known medicines being used today. >> the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel was first isolated from the pacific yew, which resulted in killing many trees because it was sourced from the bark, and so scientists turned to a related species in the same genus and extracted similar chemicals from the leaves.
5:50 am
>> now, the researchers say, finding new plants to make medications is very important, since extracting materials from the same kinds of plants over and over again could cause dramatic declines in those species. >> all right, let's check in with sal for a look at traffic this morning. any problems sal, we should be aware of. >> you know, it looks pretty good. i hesitate to call it routine, but at least it's not very surprising. i always look, what am i looking at? just to make sure nothing is popped up while i'm saying that triple a traffic camera is showing a pretty good commute here on the richmond bridge, you can see traffic is moving well as you drive across toward marin county, and there have been no major issues in marin county between novato and the san rafael area. bay bridge backed up to about the end of the parking lot. people are going to be okay once you get onto the bridge now, the other guy drives terribly, but you driving well

5:54 am
5:55 am
there's a shortage of veterinarians. now, a recent study shows by 2030, there could
5:56 am
be 15,000 fewer vets than needed to care for the number of pets in the country. part of the blame is the cost of getting through college to become a veterinarian. >> most vets are graduating with an average of about $160,000 in student loans. and then the shortage also goes into the fact that veterinarians, oftentimes, once they graduate, they want to start repaying those loans. and so they're going to look for more lucrative jobs in larger cities and things like that. working at municipal shelters, nonprofits are not going to be nearly as lucrative as a private practice. >> now, some shelters are sending workers into the community to offer low cost vaccinations to try to help with the shortage of veterinarians. >> our time now. 556 the san francisco zoo is in line to get two giant pandas from china. but first, the city has to raise the money to make sure it has a proper home for the pandas. mayor london breed wants the money raised through private donations, not tax dollars. but
5:57 am
right now it's illegal for that to happen. the mayor is introducing new legislation that would temporarily lift the restrictions on city leaders seeking private money to pay for the projects. the public private partnerships of raising private dollars to help with public projects can't happen unless you go through a process like this. now, construction of the new enclosure for the pandas is expected to cost close to $25 million. >> 14 bison from the oakland zoo departed for montana. zoo employees posted this video of the bison getting into the trailer yesterday. this marks 38 total heritage bison from the oakland zoo to be released to the care of the blackfeet nation. it's all part of an effort to restore the wild bison population to their native landscape. the oakland zoo has been a major contributor to that effort since 2016. >> our time now 557 the falcons at uc berkeley. welcome their fourth baby, peregrine falcon,
5:58 am
and he's fourth and final egg hatched on hatch day, a day that the university held to educate the public on these beautiful falcons that have lived for years. on top of the school's campanile clock tower. >> this is like the culmination of tons of conservation effort to bring these falcons back from the brink of extinction, and to have four new chicks this year is just so wonderful to see, and annie has never hatched a full clutch of four before, so four chicks before. so this is a really exciting time for her. >> those chicks are going to live with their falcon parents for at least the next ten weeks before they leave the nest. >> the california garlic festival is on the move again. it is. this time it's heading to los banos and merced county. for the past two years, the festival took place in stockton and before that it was in gilroy. but the city council the event indefinitely following a deadly mass shooting. organizers say
5:59 am
they are now moving it to los banos to be closer to where the garlic is grown. the location change also makes it easier for vendors near the original festival to participate. >> it thought it was best to be centrally located between the top producing garlic county. it's kind of a way to tie the two communities together, and i think it's, you know, it's pay homage to them. >> be thankful for what they started. unfortunately, it's, not there anymore. but hey, we'll pick up the mantle and run with it. >> the california garlic festival is set to run august 30th through september 1st, and tickets go on sale later this week. >> we plan to hold the uc accountable to its, you know, to its self-proclaimed mission. you know, i mean, as the home of the free speech movement, tents belonging to pro-palestinian demonstrators at uc berkeley are springing up. >> we have the latest on the movement that's growing day by day. we'll tell you where the university stands on this. as protesters increase their

6:01 am
possible late tonight. overnight into tomorrow. more likely towards the south bay. temps staying well below average here, especially inland with 60s well sal, you don't want to be stuck in traffic and be that lonesome loser. hopefully you have good news out there. >> steve. have you heard about the lonesome loser? >> not lately. >> no, no, no. all right. good morning everyone. triple a traffic camera showing us the commute here in oakland. not a terrible commute, i have to say. the bay bridge is getting filled in a little bit early. 6:00, and it's already past the 880 overcrossing. so we are looking at that. and there have been no major issues here, but just give yourself a little bit of time as you drive through on to the bridge, you know, kind of looking like it's a long way there to san francisco this morning already 601. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you sal. well, if you live in san francisco or visit frequently, you think parking is bad? it could get worse. >> and some sfmta workers who

6:03 am
this not only are we already risking our safety every day out there doing work, we are not trained or fully equipped to deal with, but we're also expected to do work that would traditionally be associated with the police or public works. now, parking control officers also said that they have received death threats and had guns and other weapons pulled on them while confronting drug dealers or users who are double parked in san francisco. sfmta workers added that the announcement of this new intensified. ticketing plan came as a surprise to them, and said that they heard about this new plan on the news at the same time as everybody else. they say that represented that represents the lack of voice that they have, that frontline workers have in san francisco. now, the intensified ticketing plan will target drivers again, illegally parked in red zones, crosswalks or in front of fire hydrants, or even parked on sidewalks. here, the director of the sfmta said that this new intensified ticketing plan is
6:04 am
really made possible and that they will actually be able to enforce it because for the first time since pre-pandemic, they are fully staffed when it comes to those frontline workers, those workers who are actually issuing the tickets here in san francisco. again, that rally expected to start just after 12:00 today here in the city reporting live in san francisco. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news okay. >> thank you. bailey. will oakland has plans in place to make improvements to international boulevard, designed to make the busy streets safer for drivers and pedestrian, as data collected by a group called traffic violence rapid response shows international boulevard is the most dangerous street in oakland. 18 pedestrians have been killed in car crashes on that street in the last two years. the planned street improvements include installing dividers down the middle of the road and posts between the bus only lanes and regular traffic
6:05 am
lanes. >> our time is now 604 police in palo alto investigating an attempted carjacking and chase near the crescent park neighborhood. it happened monday, just after midnight. the driver says he was getting ready for a rideshare when another car suddenly pulled in front of him and stopped. three men got out, shouting at the driver to get out of his car. the driver sped away. the other car followed after, but eventually gave up. the police are asking anyone with any information about this incident to contact them. >> the campus of the university of southern california is now closed until further notice because of the clashes between pro-palestinian protesters and the police. similar college campus protests are spreading around the country. they started in new york city at columbia university, have now spread to uc berkeley and usc. >> and pam, there's a new rule at usc. no one can come on the campus without first showing id proving you're a student or a
6:06 am
member of the faculty or staff. as i get back now, los angeles police, for the time being, will be patrolling that area. authorities say many of the protesters were not connected to usc. 93 arrests were made on trespassing charges. one person was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and no one old enough. >> i love it, i love it. i think it's very necessary. i hope it doesn't escalate the way it has at columbia university. i think it's a peaceful protest and it's necessary now. >> tents were set up by some of the demonstrators for a sit in protest. no injuries were reported last night, although some protesters threw bottles and other objects at the police. >> here in the bay area, more tents are popping up at uc berkeley. more than 75 students, faculty and alumni created the free palestine encampment outside sproul hall. they're demanding the uc system divest
6:07 am

6:20 am
san francisco as the data point. that is the longest streak of consecutive days without rain going back to december, early december. we had twice, nine days, once in december and once in march. so that's that's a that's not does not happen very often. and i do think san francisco might get a couple 100 out of drizzle or some light rain later today. and tonight. a lot of low clouds in place. 50s on the temps. higher clouds are on the way. we have a front moving in. that's a nice bass map. you can see that's the system on its way now. we're on the western edge of it, but it will probably bring us some rain here. and the system has already increased the low cloud deck. so kind of interesting to see that some of the forecast on the rain is mainly south half moon bay, redwood city, fremont, livermore more so than north, although a .01 in the city would certainly qualify to break that streak more likely up in the mountains mendocino county, lake county, sacramento up to the northern sacramento valley. lots of clouds. morning low clouds, maybe some drizzle, a cloudy afternoon, breezy, light rain, 60s on the temps. tomorrow we'll

6:32 am
altamont pass. steve we do have some slowing out there. if you are driving on 580 it is pretty slow. some of these commutes can be very slow. and now it looks like there could be a crash on 205 right before you get to that . so just give yourself a little extra time and it'll you know it's not going to be easy, but help is on the way there. they have a tow truck on the way to clear the lanes looking at the south bay. that's a very nice commute. no major problems. i do want to go to our triple a traffic camera here at the bay bridge, and you can see it is backed up to the maze. 631 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you sal. more than 50 people who live in houseboats in alameda are getting some help to stay in their community. >> they're suing the property owner who's accused of violating the city's rent control rules and also intimidating some of the elderly residents. ktvu is ali rasmus in alameda. now, with more of the details. good morning ali. >> good morning dave and pam. well, if you've walked or even
6:33 am
kayaked along the oakland estuary, you've probably seen them. the colorful floating houses here on the oakland estuary on the alameda side, they're part of the barnhill marina in the city of alameda. it's the largest floating home marina in the city. it has 56 berths or boat slips. and the people who live here have to pay rent to a property owner in order to connect to electricity and water service in those spots. so under city law, the rent on those berths or boat slips are subject to the city's rent control laws. the city of alameda says many of the people who live in these floating homes are over the age of 65 and have been here for decades. a group called valley investments redwoods brought this marina, bought the property in 2021, and the city says once it did, the owners began pressuring tenants to sign new, more expensive leases in some cases more than double what they were paying before. as much as 180% increases in rent. that, according to the city of alameda, is a clear violation of
6:34 am
local rental laws. so the city and the district attorneys consumer justice bureau is suing the property owner, part of their complaint reads, quote, this campaign was conducted in a manner to create confusion and fear among the tenants, which it did. many tenants agreed to the draconian new rental agreement terms and began paying much higher rents, end quote. now, the city says the property owner also refused to pay $120,000 in rental fees it owes to the city of alameda. as a property owner, we have reached out to the property company this morning and are waiting to hear back from them, and we're also hoping to speak with some of the people who live in this barnhill marina community. to find out more about their experiences. live in alameda. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. all right. >> thank you ali. we'll check in with you in a bit. protests continue at uc berkeley this peaceful demonstration started monday with about a dozen tents. it has now grown to at least 70 large tents right outside the administrative building at cal demonstrated. want the university to condemn the

6:37 am
attack on paul pelosi. the incident happened at nancy and paul pelosi's san francisco home in 2022. depape is now scheduled to be sentenced may 17th. he still faces state charges for that attack. >> time is 636, and we do have a look at some of these commutes that are getting busier, like the bay bridge. you will see it is backed up all the way out to the maze from our triple-a traffic camera. that's not unusual. once you get onto the bridge, it looks all right and you can see traffic is moving along all right on the span into san francisco, though, it's not completely at the limit, but mostly and if you're driving on interstate 880, that looks pretty good. you'll see that san mateo bridge looks all right. and the commute on the dumbarton bridge looks good. it's not a wonder that the altamont pass is going to be a little bit slow. that's very typical. and also we have another typical commute, slow traffic on highway four coming out of antioch, heading out to pittsburg at 637. let's
6:38 am
bring steve in to talk about our cool change. >> that is correct, sir. no doubt about it. we'll focus on san francisco. a couple of things going on here. i'm trying to put a graphic together, but take me too long to explain it now. but the temps have been unseasonably cool here. a normal 63. the last time they were above that was a hot 68. that was on sunday. since then, 62, 60, 62 and going 62 today. so i mean, it's been a cool pattern not only locally in the city around oakland, but even inland with temperatures a good 10 to 12 degrees below average for this time of year. upper low in southern california is washed out, but it is pushing into arizona. but we get another system. that one's coming down from the north rain, seattle, portland, and maybe even for us here later 50s on most of the temps here we are running a little cooler today compared to yesterday. we had more of a south wind yesterday that kept her our lows much warmer. but there's your system now. again, there's some holes in it, but i do think we'll get some light rain out of that, especially north and maybe tonight some of
6:39 am
the projections here are saying, you know, half moon bay, redwood city, fremont, livermore, south. looks more like it won't be much, but maybe a couple 100. sarah and for sure, up in the mountains, some heavy wet snow could fall around lake level late tonight. overnight into tomorrow, about 2 to 4in of snow. sacramento north as well. so lots of clouds here. morning. low clouds, cooler, mild lows. mainly 50s. some drizzle, a cloudy afternoon and some light rain possible 5060s on the temps. can you warm it up any time soon? yes we will starting on the weekend. more so sunday. monday okay steve thank you. >> time 638 protecting wildlife here in the bay area to tell you about a new report by the marine mammal center showing how marine life is being hurt by locals, by tourists, even dogs. >> all right, first, let's head out to our newsroom. gasia mikaelian there with the other stories we're following for you. good morning. good morning. >> whether you're a student or a parent who tries to help, you'll want to hear about a new bill meant to make homework less stressful. >> new at seven. what the

6:47 am
you. i know how mentally draining it is, how emotionally and psychologically draining it is. it's a day to stand together. >> it's a day to affirm that there is no excuse for sexual violence, no matter what a person is wearing. >> now, the origin of denim day dates back to a 1992 court case in italy. it was overturned because a judge said the victim was wearing tight jeans, and therefore she must have helped her attacker take off her jeans, thereby implying consent that milpitas is reaching out to many kinds of vendors to offer opportunities to work within the city. >> it has a new system to connect local businesses with bids in milpitas. if you're in construction, catering or some other jobs, there may be an opportunity for you. jobs right now include buying and installing standing desks and city offices, cleaning water tanks, and launching a homeless outreach program. well, if you have a ring camera, you might be getting a refund. the federal

6:50 am
commutes. here are triple a traffic camera at the bay bridge shows it backed up almost all the way out to the maze metering lights are on and there have been no major issues here in oakland. as you drive past the coliseum, traffic looks good there. 649 let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> all right, sal, thank you. i'll set this up here if you think this has been a rainy season. it has. we have not had big systems. we've had a lot of rain days last year were bigger systems. so going using san francisco for the data point for information here. going back to october, we have now gone ten consecutive days without rain. this is the longest stretch since october 11th to the 21st. even november, december and march only had nine. to say this is unusual is extremely rare. mid-winter dry spells are quite common to not to only have ten consecutive days without rain going back to october. i don't
6:51 am
