area in just a few minutes. california lawmakers have advanced a bill requiring new cars to be equipped with technology to limit their speeds. but with a major change, state senator scott wiener introduced the measure, requiring so-called speed governors be installed in vehicles from the 2027 model year and beyond. well now the bill proposes the installation of what's known as passive intelligent speed assistance, or ysa systems in cars, which would activate when vehicles go more than ten miles an hour over the posted speed limit. if passed, the mandate would apply to half of private vehicles, trucks and busses manufactured in the 2029 model year and then expand to all vehicles from the 2032 model year. however, vehicles from earlier model years or those sold in other states are exempt from this requirement, so we want some viewer reaction to this. now we're asking you, do you like the idea of new cars being equipped with technology to limit your speed, your options are yes. makes our roads safer or no. i want full control to scan the qr code on the top
9:03 am
of your screen, or go to ktvu.com/viewer poll or vote and you'll find and vote there. but right now, no, i want full control 84% of the vote. i think just 10. there said yeah, sure. why not. so it's an interesting topic. >> yeah, i think we all go to the like infinitesimal possibility that there's a what if, let's say i'm driving my pregnant spouse to the hospital and she's about to give birth and i need to speed through that intersection? i don't want that car slowing me down. >> well, you know, i remember i had i had a had an injury once and my dad, i'd never seen my dad do anything illegal for any, any. and he broke through a stoplight to get me to the hospital in time. so that's an emergency, you know that. you know, you you have to control how you do it. and some people, it's not like we had money for him to call an emt. yeah, because that's like, you get a $3,000 bill just for something. so i don't know if you want someone controlling your car. i understand the safety implications and the safety issues because we see the accidents. sal you know about
9:04 am
that. >> and most people who are speeding are not rushing their child, who has a, you know, a severed limb to the hospital. yeah. that's a very unique situation that this will make the sales of older cars spike. >> i think so too. i was thinking the same exact thing. >> okay. people are going to say, okay, i have to make this car last. yeah, i might even get a few. >> maybe, maybe even just even if you have a car with a speed governor on it, you still might get an older car just so you can have that freedom, right? every once in a while it will happen. you trust me? yeah. that's right. >> all right, let's get to this. now, if you live in san francisco or visit frequently and think parking is bad now, it could get a lot worse. now sfmta workers responsible for enforcement are fearful about what that could mean for them. ktvu bailey o'carroll is live in san francisco with more bailey. >> hey sal. good morning. yeah, sfmta going to crack down issuing more tickets. they say this in an effort to make roadways safer for drivers and sidewalks safer for pedestrians. but the front line sfmta workers, the ones who are actually out on the streets here
9:05 am
in san francisco issuing those tickets, say that they're worried about their safety when it comes to this. they say that could put a target on their back. they said they may have to deal with more disgruntled drivers if they issue more tickets, and they feel like it could possibly increase their chances of being assaulted while at work. as a result, sfmta critical front line workers say that they're going to host a rally today to bring attention to their increasing safety concerns. now, in a statement, trevor adams, a parking control officer, said, quote, 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've received death threats, had guns and other weapons pulled on them while confronting drug dealers or users who are double parked here in san
9:06 am
francisco. sfmta workers added that this announcement of the new intensified ticketing plan came as a surprise to them. they say they actually found out about it on the news at the same time as the general public did, but i can tell you this intensified ticketing program already sort of evident out here this morning. we've been out here since about 430 this morning, and a member of our crew went to a starbucks just a couple blocks down the road. couldn't have been inside that coffee shop for more than two minutes or so, and was immediately given a ticket. me and my photographer were still in a car that was parked nearby. we didn't see a ticketing officer or anybody kind of come by. so that kind of evident out here this morning. we've seen it in action now again that sfmta worker rally is set to start at 1230 here this afternoon in san francisco reporting live. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> bailey thank you. new this morning a new york appeals court has overturned disgraced
9:07 am
hollywood producer harvey weinstein's 2020 rape conviction and is now requiring a new trial. weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison after more than 80 women came forward with sexual harassment, assault or rape allegations. weinstein was found guilty for similar charges for a case here in california, was sentenced to 16 years in prison. now he won't be released as a result of this decision. instead, he'll be sent to california to continue his sentence for convictions in our state. >> all right. well, the campus of the university of southern california now closed until further notice because of the clashes between pro-palestinian protesters and the police. and similar college campus protests are spreading around the country to. we've reported on them. they started in new york, at columbia university and have now spread to uc berkeley and usc. and there's a new rule at usc this morning. 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. and this is the
9:08 am
reason why los angeles police, for the time being, will patrol the area. authorities say many of the protesters were not connected to usc. 93 arrests were made on trespassing charges. this was all yesterday. one person was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. rolling 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. >> tents were set up by some 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 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 to divest from defense and weapons related firms, such as lockheed martin and blackrock, that are accused of profiteering from the ongoing war in gaza and no rest until
9:09 am
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's less than three weeks before the end of cal's spring semester. >> so far, the demonstrations have been peaceful. uc says it doesn't plan to change its investment policies or practices, but universities across the country are considering making changes to graduation ceremonies. >> classes at emerson college in boston are canceled today after police overnight took down a pro-palestinian encampment on campus. more than 100 people were arrested, mostly on charges of unlawful assembly. arraignment is expected later today. four police officers were hurt. one of them suffered serious injuries. protest tents started going up last sunday. the school had warned
9:10 am
demonstrators that they were violating city ordinances, and boston police were prepared to clear them out. >> well, a new study indicates california could see an increase in atmospheric rivers in the coming years. the research, led by the us geological survey, looked back at weather systems in the past 3200 years. scientists found two periods one 2000 years ago and another 3000 years ago, when there was more atmospheric river activity than anything recorded by modern weather instruments. they say that cycle indicates we're overdue for another extreme run of those intense storms. >> all right. it's time for us to get over to steve to take a look at the weather. it's been slightly unusual for it to be this cool, hasn't it. that is true. >> they had to use tree rings or soil samples. i don't know how else they would get. >> i was wondering about how they would know that. >> i would think tree rings. yes, that tells us a lot. yes, an unseasonably cool is correct. mostly cloudy here. light rain clouds, sun. by the way, 1861 62 was an historic one for flooding around here. if you don't know
9:11 am
that one, look, it up, looks better for the weekend, though. slightly warmer. now. speaking of rain, we haven't had any now for ten days. and believe it or not, that is the longest stretch going back to october 11th to 21st. so we've had a rainy season. we have not had big systems. we've had a lot of little ones, though, and using data from san francisco, we had nine days of no rain in november, december and march, and then we have to go all the way back to october to find ten. this is extremely rare. i don't think i'll see this ever again, to be honest with you, because mid-winter dry spells are quite common here. we had none this year. that's a rarity. indeed. san francisco rocketed up to a blazing 68 on sunday. since then, it's been 62, 60, 62 and going 62 today. it's been a cool pattern. a lot of low clouds in place here. some sun breaks here, the low cloud deck getting disturbed by that system sweeping in. now this is a weak system. there's not a lot to this one but it will give some
9:12 am
rain. i think mendocino county, lake county this low which started the cooling trend on tuesday, has now pushed into southern california and also starting to light up there in parts of northern arizona and giving them a cool pattern as well. 50s on the temps. we were a little cooler this morning, but temperatures are starting to rebound. not much of a breeze, but it'll start to pick up today. will be breezy tomorrow. could be blustery to windy. look for some sun here. a lot of low clouds, but that system will sweep in giving us cloudy skies by later this evening. tonight into tomorrow. and that's our best opportunity for any rain. anything for us would be light, but i do think we'll get a couple 100 or some trace amounts, but we'll get a little bit here. looks like better opportunity areas south more so than north. some snow in the mountains is possible here late tonight. early tomorrow? that'd be a wet snow, but some rain. mendocino county, lake county, sacramento up to northern sacramento valley. so your thursday cloud. some sun breaks in there, but a lot of cloud cover. increasing clouds throughout the day. 60s on the temps well below average for inland areas. coast and bay are pretty close to average. but not
9:13 am
inland. windy on friday, then it clears out. happy to say a little better on the weekend. >> good. thank you steve. a grieving east bay family says justice is not being served next year on the nine, though their loved one is gone and the man accused of killing her is dead. they say someone else also needs to be held accountable. in the new documentary into the murder of alexis gabe and why they say it is not case closed. then getting ready for a major earthquake in the east bay. we'll talk live with a member of the oakland fire department about an event this weekend that could help you get some free su es. and we're in the middle of... livin' large! and having a big day! the meeting point of humanity and history. in the middle of being the fun uncle!

9:15 am
9:16 am
of a disaster. we've had a number of intense wildfire seasons. the past several years, but scientists say there's a 72% probability of a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake here in the bay area in the near future. let's talk about getting prepared by welcoming kyle trembley, senior emergency planning coordinator for the oakland fire department. kyle, thanks for being with us. >> pleasure to be here. >> we talk a lot about firefighting. and you as a member of offd are very aware of what's been happening. if i had wood, i'd knock on it before i say it's been a minute since we've had a decent earthquake in the bay area. >> it's been a minute. we did have 2015 up in napa. so we do know that there are active earthquakes in the area. >> ten years ago by now, many people living here weren't here. that i know.
9:17 am
>> i can't believe it either, but we are an earthquake country. we do have the hayward fault running right through the city of oakland, so we really want our residents to be prepared. >> yeah, let's talk about oakland and that hayward fault. problematic to say the least. it's sort of like on a diagonal cut starts. you know, on the east end of the city and just goes kind of straight up through the hills. montclair i think it almost traces highway 13. >> exactly. >> should people along that swath be most concerned, or is this really for all oaklanders. >> this is for all oaklanders all people in the bay area. earthquakes are a regional threat. that's why we have a regional catastrophic earthquake plan. that's why we're working on these issues, not just as a city, not just as a county, but as a whole. bay area community. >> i remember a few years ago, there was a push to inform residents that you should be prepared to be on your own for 72 hours. don't think there's a food truck that's going to come by and a place to charge your cell phone. what do people need to prepare for immediately? what's the number one thing i need to do? >> immediate medical food and water. making sure that you have at least a well packed first aid
9:18 am
kit, food and water to last you at least that first 72 hours is absolutely imperative. okay. >> and this includes diapers, medical an all those things we might not immediately think about. >> well, so that's going into the expanded preparedness and things to have in a go bag or a stay kit. what you need to have in that kit depends on your own personal situation. so diapers, medication, keys, documentation, making sure you have all of that in a centralized location so that during an emergency you can get to it easily. >> oakland fire is having a great event coming up on sunday in the fruitvale. tell me what oaklanders can take advantage of. >> so on sunday the 28th at 2825 international boulevard, we are holding what's called a c pod exercise. so this is a commodity point of distribution. after that, 72 hours after that initial earthquake, we're going to be trying to set up commodity distribution areas so that we can get valuable supplies out to the communities that need them. >> things like what, food, water, medicine in ppe, things that people need to be able to safeguard their property and their houses. so we'll be, giving those out, making sure that the community has them if
9:19 am
the supply chain has failed. and so we are working with our cert members, our community emergency response team members, to make sure that we are ready in the event of an emergency to get those supplies out. >> so can someone who has nothing prepared at home show up on sunday in the fruitvale and say, i have nothing, and they'll actually walk away with supplies? >> that's the idea we have two wonderful kits that these pouch kits over here that we're giving out. we have 400 of them, plus a lot of additional materials. if we end up getting more than 400 people, that we're giving out to the community just as a measure of testing this ability to get community supplies out to the community, i actually had the red cross come out to my house several several years ago to just sort of, you know, give me a grade on on our earthquake preparedness efforts. >> i thought i was getting an a plus. she gave me a b minus. so just really actively looking at this canned food that's in the garage is half of it expired. and this jug of water that i have, is that really enough for a family of four for three days? really examining what you have? because some people say, i'll
9:20 am
throw my camping supplies in a bin and i'll, you know, maybe add a bottle of aspirin and i'm good. >> that's a start. but we really want to make sure people are actively preparing go bags and stake hits. if you want to learn more, a stay kit a stay kit is where you're trying to stay in your home for longer than 72 hours. >> but maybe without electricity, that's where that camping gear really comes in handy. >> making sure that you do have some tools, duct tape, things that you're able to secure your house, and making sure that you do have that those dry goods, canned goods that are going to last you longer than 72 hours. >> got it. sometimes we unfortunately have to report on terrible earthquakes happening overseas. do you think when people in the bay area hear and read about a tragedy overseas, does that up our awareness a little bit? >> i hope it ups our awareness a little bit. it's not a matter of when. it's not a matter of if. it's a matter of when an earthquake does strike the bay area. so we really need to make sure that we're prepared. and we do have other trainings. as a city of oakland that residents can take advantage of, and they get free supplies in a starter go bag if they attend those trainings with us. >> okay, so tell me again
9:21 am
sunday, where do we find you sunday? >> we're going to be at 2825 international boulevard. this is at the cesar chavez complex. we're doing our distribution from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day. >> okay. got it. kyle trambley, thanks so much for joining us from oakland fire. >> thank you so much for having me. >> be safe in your work. all right. a message for us all coming up here on mornings. on to the nine. you can get more information on the event on sunday by heading to our website, ktvu.com and web links. as we look ahead, we'll focus on health insurance. so many people struggle to afford it, but also fear going bankrupt without it in the event of a major illness or injury. what state regulators are doing to help limit price increases on health care costs, then this is something people plan their summer vacations around. how the magic
9:22 am
9:23 am
9:24 am
increases in health care costs in california. the new rule would limit price increases at 3. that cap will be phased in over five years starting in 2025. providers who don't comply will be at risk of facing fines. the move is aimed at keeping rising health care costs better aligned with the average rise of income. >> governor gavin newsom is standing behind a new bill that would help people from arizona get access to abortion care here in california. the bill will allow licensed doctors in good standing in arizona to come to california and get a temporary clearance to perform abortion procedures on their patients in our state. >> we will be a safe haven so that arizonans do not have to
9:25 am
carry an unplanned, unwanted or health endangering pregnancy. >> the push for this new bill comes as arizona prepares to enact a 160 year old ban on abortions. the arizona state house voted to overturn that ban yesterday, and the state senate could take a vote next week before the law goes into effect. >> a bill aimed at avoiding punishing students for drug use or drug possession on campus was introduced in sacramento would require holding an intervention before a student is suspended or expelled. the author of the bill says schools would be required to connect students with treatment services first, to help break the cycle of punishment that's often associated with illegal 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. >> assembly member ramos says students of color make up more than 83% of drug related suspensions. the bill has the
9:26 am
support of several children's advocacy and mental health groups. if approved, the measure would take effect in two years. >> we have a recall to tell you about for laundry pods. the consumer product safety commission says some of the flexible, child resistant bags of procter and gamble's liquid laundry detergent pods can be split open near the zipper. the recalled products were made between september 2023 and february 2024, and sold as tide pods gain flings, ace pods and ariel pods. the danger is that children may be able to open the bag and confuse the pods with candy. >> when you look at these laundry pods, they're squishy. they're fun to touch, they're colorful and look a lot like candy. all of these characteristics make them super attractive to a child, and these pods use highly concentrated detergents, putting children and cognitively impaired adults at serious risk. >> the consumer product safety commission urges consumers to immediately secure their detergent packages out of children's reach, and contact pryor and gamble for a refund and replacement child resistant
9:27 am
bag to store the pods. >> all right, a community of houseboats residents in the east bay fighting for what they call unjust rental practices, coming up on mornings on two and nine. how the city of alameda is stepping in to help them after rents almost tripled for some tenants. also ahead, it's a historic day, as the supreme court hears arguments over whether former president donald trump can be given immunity for actions he allegedly took while in office. >> i'm rebecca cas r in sh next. next. stop. we got it? no. keep going. again...

has been up and down this past week. thankfully, we're headed for a dry weekend, but it's jacket kind of weather still. have you ever been stuck in a conversation with no way out and you don't want to be rude? you are not alone. far from it. research from harvard shows just 2% of conversations wrap up when both parties want them to end. psychologists have some advice for getting out gracefully. they say. while the easiest thing to do is to come up with an excuse, the best way to do it is to challenge yourself. to make this boring conversation a little more interesting. they say, maybe ask a personal question, spur a change in topic. they also advise pulling in another person or politely telling that person, i'm going to have to wrap this up soon, but tell me more about your trip to, you know, to hawaii and what your little one did in the pool for the first time. so not that whole you know what i have to go. see you later. do you have
9:31 am
any, tactics that you have employed, you know, to get out of, yes. >> i have to change the topic and then i slip in and try to say, you know, i blame it on work or the or or my latest one. you ready? you guys ready? i'm ready. the dog. >> oh, the dog is your baby like when i got to get home. >> i've left him in there. i got to go walk him, you know? >> yeah. use that forever. >> right. okay. till i got kids. i can use it more. >> interesting. see if you can see if you can be the interesting person. i do try that. ask them. yeah. >> sally, i agree with you 110% because i always like to learn about people. so i am always so i can shift the conversation and say, well, tell me about this, because some people drone on about other things just happened to me the other day. yeah. >> matter of fact, good. i always ask about food. so if someone's like going on and on and on about hawaii and i'm like, i get it. beautiful. not the weather. >> what about food is better than asking about the weather. so i like food. >> i'll say one of my favorite questions is like, what's the best thing you ate on vacation? right? and people actually think
9:32 am
about it. so take a little note on that one here and i'll borrow your tactic as well. we'll swing back to our poll here. we've been asking you all morning. it's about driving and safety essentially. do you like the idea of some new cars being equipped with technology that would limit a vehicle's speed? these numbers really haven't changed much. most of you, 85% say, nope, don't put your foot on my brake pedal. i want full control. 15% say i'd be up for it. it would help make our roads safer. we'll keep taking your responses. we love seeing these numbers change or stay the same. scan that qr code at the top right of your screen, or vote by going to ktvu.com/vote. >> all right. from the roads to the water, a community of more than 50 people who live in houseboats in alameda getting some help from the city attorney. now, the city and da's office suing the property owner for pressuring some elderly residents to agree to what they describe as a draconian rental agreement. ktvu allie rasmus spoke to one of the houseboat owners just a short time ago. she joins us live now to tell us what she has learned. allie >> andre. we are next to the barnhill marina in alameda. you can see it's a community of floating houses, houseboats, as well as some sailboats that people live aboard. this is on
9:33 am
the alameda side of the oakland estuary. it's the largest floating home marina in the city. it has 56 berths or boat slips and the people who live here pay rent to the owner of the marina, a property company called valley investments redwoods, to have their houseboats docked and have their homes hooked up to water and electricity. here, the city of alameda and the district attorney's consumer justice bureau is suing the owner for violating local rent laws, unfair competition and creating what the suit calls a public nuisance for the tenants who live here. the owner bought this marina in 2021 and, according to the city's complaint, immediately began pressuring tenants to, in some cases agree to rent increases of more than double what they were paying before. that's a violation of local rent stabilization laws. we spoke to one houseboat owner this morning who says she's been living here for 50 years, and she and many of her neighbors are on fixed incomes. a new the new owner wanted to charge her nearly $1,000 a month to continue docking her home here,
9:34 am
which was twice as much as she was paying three years ago. >> it's difficult for anybody to come up with something, you know, that's twice as much as they'd been paying. when something like that happens, it just, it does feel really insecure about your major home, your major investment in your life. >> now, in the city's lawsuit against the property owner, they also criticized the way those rents were increased. quote, the 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, the city says the property owner also refused to pay about $120,000 in rental fees that it owes to the city of alameda. now we have reached out to the attorneys for the property owner to ask for their comment and their side of the story, and we have not yet heard back from
9:35 am
them. live in alameda, ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news a top official with hamas is laying out what he says it will take for the group to lay down its weapons. >> the hamas official spoke with the associated press in turkey, saying the group would agree to a five year truce with israel, lay down its weapons and transform into a political party. if an independent palestinian state is formed. >> if they can't finish hamas off, what is the solution? the solution is to go to consensus. we have repeatedly offered the establishment of a fully sovereign palestinian state. >> israeli officials are not expected to accept the agreement, as it current government opposes a two state solution. >> hamas released video of a man born in the bay area who is now being held in gaza. hirsh goldberg, poland, is an american citizen born in berkeley, then moved to virginia and ultimately israel. the proof of life video that was released was about three minutes long. in it, he identifies himself as the son of jonathan and rachel. he was attending a music festival in southern israel when hamas attacked october 7th. this video is the first time his parents
9:36 am
have seen him since that day. >> we're relieved to see him alive, but we are also concerned about his health and well-being, as well as that of all of the other hostages and all of those suffering in this region. and we're here with a plea to all of the leaders of the parties who have been in negotiating to date. that includes qatar, egypt, the united states, hamas and israel. be brave, lean in, seize this moment and get a deal done. >> the number 201 is taped on the parents shirts. it signifies how many days since their son was abducted. well, a new documentary dives into the disappearance and murder of a young woman from the east bay. >> after watching the documentary, the family and friends of alexis, gabe, they're still desperate to get answers. they gathered in oakley at a restaurant to watch the hour long episode of on the case with paula zahn, titled where is alexis? police shot and killed her ex-boyfriend marshall jones
9:37 am

9:50 am
beauty castle and then also carl fredrickson's house from up with the balloons kind of floating over. is such a special moment, and it connects so strongly with those guests that love those films. >> and that house from up is actually the largest object ever to be flown over sleeping beauty castle, which is very cool. they say that there are 10,000 balloons that carry carry that house up, although experts tell me that it would have really taken 26.5 million balloons to make a house go. but, you know, this is this is pixar and disney magic. we're talking about a film not supposed to be realistic, i know, but you know, i just had to pay attention to that real quick food because that's really why we're here, that's a big part of it as well. here at disney california adventure park, there are going to be six market places this summer starting may 10th, themed after six different pixar films. so you can go to the ratatouille marketplace, the luca marketplace. and again, that food, that very creative culinary element. always a big part of these events. >> yeah. we want to make sure that we can story tell and food as well. we definitely do it on our entertainment. you know, our stores, our attractions, rides. but we want to do it in food to
