. >> vote no to the name change and no to the airport expansion. please protect the east bay and lead the way to a healthy future with fewer flights and less pollution. >> the slanted survey, written and administered to achieve approval will. it does not at all provide evidence that aucklanders want a name change. >> there is a tiny bit of precedent for this. i mean, there are other cities that have the city in two different airport names. i think places like chicago and dallas. but the port voted unanimously for the name change. it argues, because it's using its own logo, and that oak airport code wouldn't change. there isn't a problem. we asked people at the airport before the vote happened what they thought. >> i would guess that maybe combining the names, maybe, teaches people that they are close and affiliated with each other. >> i do know that when i first was flying here, that it was a

little confusing which one to go to. so i can understand that being an issue. >> well, now the arguments are going to court san francisco city attorney david chu wrote in a statement, quote, it's disappointing that oakland chose to ignore our multiple offers to collaborate on alternative names and avoid litigation. we have no choice but to move forward with next steps and our trademark lawsuit. oakland port officials immediately filed a counter lawsuit and said in a statement of their own, quote, sfo's lawsuit is a disappointing and anti-competitive effort to discourage competition and choice, and we are confident the court will agree. so the question now is how soon until the name change takes effect? well, technically it was official as of last night after port officials made that vote. the port says it will work on rebranding the airport, but you likely won't notice any real significant differences until all of these arguments play out in court. we're live this

morning from the oakland airport. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james. thank you. the city of fremont is calling its groundbreaking drone program a huge success. the city's police officers and firefighters are the first in the nation to use drones on a regular basis when responding to emergency calls. the drone program has been in place for more than a year. emergency responders say the drones are now playing a major role in efforts to crack down on crime. it truly has been a such a useful tool for de-escalation, for apprehension of violent suspects, for public safety. firefighters also say the drones have provided a huge boost to public safety. one drone recently took to the skies just moments after a home went up in flames. >> one of our other battalion chiefs was the person operating the drone that was able to give me real life time intel, the drones actually looking for hazards, possible hazards that could affect either public safety in general or responding personnel. >> fremont police and firefighters say the drones are

only used for critical or life threatening situation, and first responders stress they are not allowed to be used for random surveillance. >> we have an update now on a hit and run in san francisco that injured two people, including a 14 year old girl. earlier this week, district attorney brooke jenkins announced that 54 year-old rodney jefferson has been charged with a number of crimes, including reckless driving with great bodily injury and driving with a suspended license. this is video from the end of the police chase when the driver crashed at embarcadero and jones. police say it all started when he was spinning donuts tuesday morning and hit someone with his car. police say the suspect then raced away and hit another person, a 14 year-old girl who was crossing the street. both victims are expected to survive. >> 506 is your time. an investigation is underway after a man was shot in san jose. it happened at about 545 last night near interstate 280 and mclaughlin avenue. police say the man was taken to the hospital and is in critical condition. it's not clear yet

of that money raised will go to increase voter turnout, especially among young people. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu refuses to rule out a full scale invasion of the southern gaza city of rafah, despite warnings from the us president. >> biden has warned israel that the us will not supply weapons to attack rafah or more than 1 million palestinian ins have taken refuge. however, netanyahu says rafah is the remaining stronghold of hamas and israel will do what's necessary to eliminate the terrorist group. >> we are determined and we are united in order to defeat our enemies and those who want to destroy us. if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. >> republicans have denounced president biden's threat to cut off aid to israel. >> well, governor newsom is putting pressure on the city of half moon bay to approve a 40 unit affordable housing project for farm workers. the governor released a statement calling on the city's planning commission to stop stalling. the delay follows a deadly shooting last year that exposed the dire living conditions of farm

executive director of the utility reform network, tells us this plan should result in more equitable contributions across the state. >> people who live in the coast, who have cooler climates, who don't use as much electricity, we'll see a small increase, but that is so that people in the central valley who have the lowest incomes and the highest energy use, get a little bit of a break, lower income customers will see a flat rate of 6 or $12. >> the new fees are set to take effect in 2026. >> investigators in hayward are trying to determine the cause of a vegetation fire that destroyed several cars and threatened dozens of homes. it was first reported shortly before noon yesterday in hayward's jackson triangle neighborhood, just east of highway 92 and interstate 880. the first firefighters who arrived on scene spotted huge flames shooting up through clusters of eucalyptus trees. one woman immediately took

the trains now. the rest of the trains are moving through the system. if you can get yourself to the macarthur station from that line, you should be able to take bart service. but there is something on the tracks between the macarthur station and richmond that is now allowing train service. they do not have a bus bridge yet. they're just advising you to seek another way to get around. this may put more traffic on the roads. we'll see. it's friday. if there's a better day for it to happen, it would be on a friday. westbound bay bridge getting a little bit of a backup. now that we've reached 6:00, it's actually 601. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal new this morning fremont firefighters say they will remain on the scene of a fire at a commercial building to make sure there are no flare ups. the fire was reported around 2:00 this morning on millmont drive, east of interstate eight. 80 firefighters from fremont and milpitas responded and the fire was knocked down within 90 minutes. now, firefighters were able to contain the fire to the building where it started. no injuries here. the cause remains under investigation. >> well, the port of oakland

officially voted to change the name of the oakland airport. it will now be known as san francisco bay oakland international airport. ktvu is james torres joining us now from oakland with the lawsuits now being filed for and against that change, jane. >> yeah. strong arguments on both sides. pam, good morning to you. here report officials unanimously made that vote last night. they said the motivation for the change is essentially to let people who are traveling into town know that oakland isn't all that far away from san francisco. they argue that it's not exactly common knowledge to know that if you live somewhere further away from the area, maybe across the country or around the world, but san francisco city attorney says that is a trademark infringement. port officials, they had their final vote last night. they heard public comment for quite a while, most of which argued against the name change, many saying the two airports with san francisco in the name would confuse people. >> vote no to the name change and no to the airport expansion.

please protect the east bay and lead the way to a healthy future with fewer flights and less pollution. >> the slanted survey, written and administered to achieve approval. it does not at all provide evidence that oaklanders want a name change, but the port voted unanimously for the name change. >> it argues because it's using its own logo. the airport code wouldn't change. there isn't a problem where there is also a little bit of precedent. if you look at some airports in dallas and in chicago as well. we asked some people at the oakland airport before the vote what they thought. >> i would guess that maybe combining the names, maybe, teaches people that they are close and affiliated with each other. >> i do know that when i first was flying here, that it was a little confusing which one to go to so i can understand that being an issue.

>> san francisco's city attorney, david chu wrote in a statement, quote, it is disappointing that oakland chose to ignore our multiple offers to collaborate on alternative names and avoid litigation. we now have no choice but to move forward with steps in our trademark lawsuit. oakland port officials immediately filed a counter lawsuit and said in a statement of their own, quote, sfo's lawsuit is a disappointing and anti-competitive effort to discourage competition and choice, and we are confident the court will agree. the question now, how soon until that name change will take effect? well, technically it was official after the vote last night here in the oakland port, officials say that they are working on some rebranding to kind of make that name change a little more noticeable. however, you probably won't notice any significant changes until all of those arguments play out in court. we're live this morning from oakland international. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two

news. >> james, thank you for that update. law enforcement officials in menlo park are using video technology to help reduce and solve crime. the city council voted to move forward with an automated license plate reader program. dozens of fixed cameras will be installed throughout the city as part of a two year pilot. critics of the license plate reader cite high cost and civil rights community members advocating for the system say the protective benefits of the cameras outweigh the privacy concerns. >> it is coming up on 606 now, the city of fremont is calling its groundbreaking drone program a huge success. the city's police officers and firefighters are the first in the nation to use drones on a regular basis when responding to emergency calls. the drone program has been in place for more than a year. emergency responders say the drones are now playing a major role in efforts to crack down on crime. >> it truly has been a such a useful tool for de-escalation, for apprehension of violent suspects, for public safety.

>> firefighters also say the drones have provided a huge boost to public safety. one drone recently took to the skies just moments after a home went up in flames. >> one of our other battalion chiefs was the person operating the drone that was able to give me real life time intel, the drones actually looking for hazards, possible hazards that could affect either public safety in general or responding personnel. >> fremont police and firefighters say the drones are only used for critical or life threatening situations, and first responders stress they are not allowed to be used for random surveillance. >> we have an update now on a hit and run in san francisco that injured two people, including a 14 year old girl, earlier this week, district attorney brooke jenkins announced that 54 year-old rodney jefferson has been charged with a number of crimes, including reckless driving with great bodily injury and driving with a suspended license. now this is video from the end of the police chase when the driver crashed at embarcadero and jones. police say it all started when that driver was spinning donuts tuesday morning and hit someone with his car. police say

he then raced away and hit another person, a 14 year old girl who was crossing the street. both victims are expected to survive. well a san jose couple behind bars this morning accused of exposing their baby to a lethal amount of fentanyl. >> the district attorney's office says it's one of the largest drug busts of its kind in santa clara county. history authorities say the two suspects are drug dealers, and they're accused of stashing up to 55,000 fentanyl pills under their ten month old baby's crib. investigators say they also found marijuana, cocaine and a loaded gun inside the couple's home. >> i know for so many people in our community, it's frustrating to hear that we still have these crimes existing because it doesn't make sense. like why you don't do everything to protect your child. >> the couple's baby is now being cared for by the child's paternal grandmother. both suspects are due back in court july 11th. >> time is 608, and we do have a major problem with bart. there is no train service right now between richmond and macarthur

station. there's also no red line service right now. so please give yourself another way to get to work. if that's your bart commute. if you can get yourself to the macarthur station, maybe you have a friend give you or use a car service or even a bus, then you'll be able to use the rest of the bart system. we're on it. we're going to tell you more about why bart is expecting this to be closure. that's going to last for at least a few hours. let's talk about our triple a traffic cameras right now, we don't see any major delays at the bay bridge toll plaza. a couple of minor ones and no problems on the peninsula. no problems getting to airports. and if you're driving across the bay area bridges, it looks pretty good at 609. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal. doctors on the peninsula are giving out life saving tools to parents who bring in their kids for checkups. the initiative to give free gun trigger locks to parents of small children, and a sign of relief for some of

experience delays with 73 degrees in partly cloudy skies for today and off towards honolulu. a little bit of a different story. showers and the possibility of thunderstorms into the afternoon with a warm day coming to honolulu 80 degrees. a brief look across the nation where most of the nation fairly quiet. we had some thunderstorms over georgia, parts of atlanta earlier today that is moving out. meanwhile, new york is going to be a bit soggy with thunderstorms in the forecast for the afternoon and only 52 degrees. meanwhile, here at home, temperatures have been very warm this week and there are some warnings santa clara valley is expected to remain in the mid to upper 80s for the next few days, and with the weekend approaching, more people are expected to spend time outdoors. cal fire says people should pay attention to how their body is, respond to the heat. >> you just need to be mindful of our bodies, making sure that we're keeping up with our hydration, eating healthy meals that will fuel your body, giving

yourself a break and just preparing yourself ahead of time . >> our officials also warn high temps can lead to increased fire danger, so take precautions. >> thank you. rosemary. nurses at san francisco's public hospitals are warning of a possible strike. dozens rallied outside laguna honda hospital. they say right now, staffing levels are extremely low and patient care could be affected. they're also warning that if the city does not take action in contract negotiations to increase staffing and a strike is inevitable, our patients are, put in unsafe positions, you know, because if we don't have enough staff, they can fall out of bed. >> we have to make sure they get fed. we have to prevent them from having bed sores. you know, we have to make sure they get their overall care we need. we have to make sure they get all their daily needs met and then we're working short. something is going to fall through the cracks. >> the san francisco department of public health says it has hired 166 new nurses since

december, and is on target to hire an additional 50 by the end of this fiscal year. in a statement, the public health department says it has made significant progress in hiring and retaining permanent registered nurses as we continue to recover and stabilize operations after the pandemic. nurses are the backbone of care and the department is extremely grateful for their commitment. >> kaiser hospitals on the peninsula are providing life saving gun trigger locks to parents of small children. doctors at kaiser, redwood city and san mateo are giving the locks to parents who own guns and are strong or storing them unlocked. the san mateo county sheriff's office donated 100 gun locks for the program. parents are discreetly offered the locks when they bring children in for checkups and fill out a screening questionnaire. it includes questions about health, safety and guns in the home. >> it's very discreet, so it makes it easy to be able to just easily give it to a parent without them walking out with something that kind of calls out that i came out with a gun lock.

it looks just like a bike lock, but it is such an easy device that will save children's lives. >> the trigger locks are available in the pediatrics, emergency and psychiatry department at both hospitals. >> two people in antioch filed a federal civil rights lawsuit claiming the city's police officers used excessive force in arresting them. antioch police body cam video shows the arrest of deion smith, one of the people named in the lawsuit, who was tackled to the ground and then bit by a police dog back in october 2021. the lawsuit accuses officers of falsifying their reports to cover up their actions. some of the officers named in the lawsuit are among the nine officers indicted last year on several state and federal charges. >> well, an investigation is now underway after man was shot in san jose. it happened at about 545 last night near interstate 280, and mclaughlin avenue. police say the man was taken to the hospital and is in critical condition. it's not clear yet what led to the shooting or how many people police might be looking for in connection to the case. the days could be numbered

for the city of danville's bicycle safety commission. this week, danville's town council voted to allow the bicycle commission to continue its scheduled meetings through the end of this year, but the town council says it's considering dissolving the bike commission after that due to rising tensions. the town council says some commissioners are going way too far in their efforts to promote bicycle safety by, they say, tormenting city staff members. >> the san jose bart extension project is getting $500 million in federal funding. the valley transportation authority reports. the investment will inch them closer to getting the project complete. construction is already underway. the bart extension will build a subway through downtown san jose. service is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2037. >> well, we're speaking of bart now at 617. there is no bart service between richmond and macarthur. there is no red line service. people who come in on bart from the richmond, el cerrito and berkeley area have to get themselves to macarthur. so if you are taking bart, let's

say you want to take bart into san francisco. go get yourself somehow to macarthur. i spoke with bart dispatchers. they do not have a bus bridge set up. the rest of the system looks okay, but again, there's no red line service. we're going to find out more about what the problem is, but it sounds like it's going to be a while. and whenever bart says, hey, seek other ways to get around, they think or it thinks sorry. it thinks that it's going to be a while for it to fix this problem. let's talk about westbound 580. we have a traffic collision westbound right near grant line road, and traffic is slow coming in over the altamont pass. highway four looks a little lighter than usual. perhaps we'll get lucky with the morning commute. it will be lighter. this is the triple a traffic camera at the bay bridge. there's a small delay before you make it on to the toll onto the actual bridge at 618. let's talk about today's weather. here's rosemary. >> all right. thank you so much, sal and happy friday a cool down coming to parts of the bay area for today. in fact already seeing the signs of it a live

look here at the golden gate bridge where we have fog there. apparently a little bit of fog in my brain. pam says. i called this the bay bridge about 15 minutes ago, but again, there you have it. the low clouds along the coastline coming through the bay. it's a shallow one. you can see the tops of the towers there and the breeze. that onshore breeze is still fairly weak. as we take a look at storm tracker two, you can even see some of that northeast flow up above at the higher elevations at this time. so we are transitioning to a cooler pattern along the coast. inside the bay, we are definitely feeling it. our inner east bay is going to take an extra day or two before your temperatures drop. you may actually be a little bit warmer today. we'll kind of see just how strong this onshore breeze is. we're seeing it a little bit through the delta and the carquinez strait over the oakland hills. we've got a little bit of a southwesterly breeze, but then you look to the north, it's still northeast right now. sonoma mountains. so variable wind out there with the transition occurring today and

the cooldown for the rest coming into the weekend. the futurecast shows you when by tomorrow morning we do expect a little bit more fog. and then on sunday morning, which happens to be mother's day, is more widespread. the east bay, the north bay, the south bay. patchy drizzle a possibility as we start the mornings as well, with partly cloudy skies and at the coastline and mostly clear skies for the afternoons. temperatures across the bay area right now upper 40s at half moon bay, upper 50s in brentwood and then into the afternoon. 73 san francisco 90 degrees for concord . so along the coast and around the bay, temperatures are coming down. but for the inner east bay, just as hot as yesterday. if you're going to the giants game later today, 67 degrees expected with a west southwest breeze to about 13mph, temperatures will continue to cool. so do bring the layers for that game tonight and your extended forecast here showing you temperatures dropping off as we get into saturday. more so on

sunday when our inland cities are enjoying a low 80s once again, and the cooldown will continue into monday. people took advantage of the warm weather at crown beach in alameda thursday, where dozens of people splashed around in the water to cool down. >> oh, the sunshine, the friendliness in alameda. it's just a beautiful place to be. it's just warmer over here and it's just a, you know, to take a little trip across the bay and enjoy the warmer weather. >> alameda is very friendly. well, dozens of people also hit the beaches in san francisco, where cooler foggier weather is already returning. >> thank you. rosemary all right, coming up. there's a growing distance between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu over arms shipments. we'll tell you what happens next and help for san francisco's housing shortage and retail exodus. the mass development that just ot

netanyahu refuses to rule out a full scale invasion of the southern gaza city of rafah, despite warnings from the us. now, president biden has warned israel that the us will not supply weapons to attack rafah, where more than 1 million palestinians have taken refuge.

however, netanyahu says rafah is the remaining stronghold of hamas and israel will do what's necessary to eliminate the terrorist group. republicans have denounced president biden's threat to cut off aid to israel. we will not stop. >> we will not rest. we will not. >> hundreds of ucla faculty and staff rallied on campus, calling for the resignation of the university's chancellor. they are criticizing chancellor gene block over the handling of a pro-palestinian encampment and the violence that led to arrests. many faculty members have signed an online petition that calls for block to step down immediately, even though he is retiring at the end of the school year. so far, the chancellor's office has not responded. celebrations at the los angeles coliseum for usc's graduation, an event the university canceled its traditional graduation because of pro-palestinian protests on campus. instead they hosted a trojan family graduate celebration featuring drone

shows, fireworks and surprise performances. the city of oakland is opening a new homeless shelter near jack london square. the oakland city council approved a $6.8 million grant for a nonprofit to manage a new shelter at the jack london inn for the next year. the city will be moving people currently living at the shelter at the lake merritt lodge to the jack london inn. that's because the lease for the lake merritt location expires at the end of june. well, san francisco's planning commission has approved the city's biggest development project since the pandemic. the commission signed off on the plan to transform the stonestown galleria from just a shopping center into a shopping center with a massive housing development. the proposal calls for building 3500 units around the current site of the shopping mall near san francisco state university. the development will help san francisco meet its state mandated goal of planning for 82,000 additional housing units by the year 2031. while

local cease fire resolutions may not have direct impact on foreign policy amid growing demands from bay area residents, another city has passed e the la

the markets. sure. thank you for joining us here on mornings on two i'm pam cook i'm andre senior in for dave clark. >> today is friday may 10th. let's get right over to sal with details about bart having some major issues in the east bay this morning. sal, can you give us an update on that? >> that's right. there is no bart service right now between richmond and the macarthur station. for more on this, let's bring in alicia trost, who is bart's chief communication officer and alicia, bart is telling people to make alternate plans. if you are the passenger that takes richmond to macarthur station. if i get myself to macarthur, can i get the access to the rest of the system? >> yes, you can. and good morning. so the yellow line service from antioch as well as dublin service and berryessa service, all of that service is running normal. so if you can get to macarthur, you're set. now if you are between richmond and ashby, one of those six stations, there's a lot of great bus service at those stations, and we have lots of staff there

to point you to the right bus, depending on where you're going. >> so there's no bus bridge, but there are going to be people telling you, hey, take this bus. it'll take you to macarthur. >> that's absolutely correct. >> okay. alicia. what what happened? do do we know i mean, you can you tell us why this is happening? is it a problem with the tracks that a train derail? what's going on here? >> right in this early morning before service started, as we were powering everything up, we were not able to get correspondence, which with that richmond line specifically, the problem is located just outside of macarthur station, heading towards richmond. it's a fiber problem, but we're just describing it as a wayside equipment problem, just to be transparent with the riders. >> got it. so you basically you don't have communication with the trains. and obviously if you don't have communication, it's unsafe to run the trains along that stretch. >> correct. so we've got the six stations closed and pointing people towards busses. but again, all the other stations

across the system are having normal service. >> got it. so do you have any idea when this problem could be resolved? is this, when i spoke to one of the dispatchers, she said this could be a while. >> you know, we just don't know. i can tell you that crews are working on it right now, but we agree for the morning commute. i think it's just best to let the folks at those six stations know. you know, today's a great day to try the ferry. the weather is great. take a bus or just get to macarthur or west oakland if you can, and take bart from there. >> got it, and does this have anything to do with some of the stuff you're doing over the weekends? along that line, i noticed that you've been doing some. bart has been doing some work, in that stretch of track. >> no, nothing to do with that. and the work that this coming this weekend is near union city station. and so it doesn't have to do with the rebuilding work that we've been doing across the system. >> okay. alicia trost, bart chief communication officer, thanks for your help in getting

our viewers out to the macarthur station, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> all right, so you heard it there, pam. and andre, there is no service. let me just reiterate, no bart service from richmond to macarthur. there's plenty of good bus service. you can take it. all of the six stations affected if you can get yourself to macarthur, then you can use the other bart train lines. the antioch line, which is the busiest, is actually running okay without any significant delays. back to you all right, sal, thank you. >> great information. we really appreciate alicia joining us with all of those updates. also today, governor gavin newsom will release an updated budget for the next fiscal year. state leaders are not expecting great news. they say all signs point to a budget deficit that has grown since the beginning of the year. >> ktvu sally rasmus joins us live to explain what that means for the governor and the state. good morning allie. >> good morning. it likely means there will be cuts coming to state programs and benefits. now that californians have filed their tax returns, state officials have a better idea of

exactly how much money is coming in and the state's legislative office estimates there is less of it, and that the budget deficit for california has grown from about $38 billion estimated in january to more than 68 to even $70 billion, according to the state legislative budget office. we don't know the exact amount yet. we will find that out when governor gavin newsom announces his revised budget and budget plan today. the california constitution requires the state to balance the budget every year at a chamber of commerce event. this week, shown on the chamber's youtube page, the governor hinted at coming spending cuts to balance the budget. >> we still have a shortfall. we will manage it and we'll manage it. yes, without general tax increases, we're not just going to try to solve for this year. i want to solve for next year. i think it's too important. we have got to be more disciplined. >> california is not alone in this. there are many states facing tighter budgets as

economic growth has slowed across the country. there's less payroll tax revenue coming in with layoffs and job cuts happening and sales tax revenue is down because of consumers cuts in spending due to inflation. the governor is expected to announce his revised budget plan with all the details on those possible cuts later this morning. back to you, ali. >> thank you. president biden and the first lady in the bay area right now, the president landing at moffett field at 725 last night, the first lady touching down at sfo earlier in the day. the president then hopped on marine one for a quick flight to the marina green area in san francisco. the visit is part of a west coast fundraising trip. san francisco mayor london breed greeting the president when he stepped off marine one at marina green. several people gathered nearby just to catch a glimpse of the president. >> i came here for a run with marina run club, and then after i finished the run, i was already out here. it was nice weather. so, you know, i thought i'd just, hang around and, watch the president come in. >> well, today, president biden is scheduled to attend a fundraising reception hosted in

palo alto. he will then head to portola valley for an event at the home of a local venture capitalist. well, last night, first lady jill biden attended a fundraiser in kentfield. today, she will travel to los angeles. >> well, this is president biden's second campaign fundraising trip to the bay area this year. with six months to election day, president biden and donald trump have been neck and neck in recent polls. both candidates are trying to raise money for political ads. money is the mother's milk of politics, and it matters. >> and this isn't a presidential election where you're going to see north of 6 to $8 billion spent. >> political analysts say much of that money raised will go to increase voter turnout, especially among younger voters. >> 637 is your time negotiations are ongoing between about 100 pro-palestine protesters and administrators at the university of santa cruz. these talks are taking place as they remain camped out on campus. they set up their tents more than a week ago, and the organizers of the protest say they will remain in

this encampment until administrators meet their demands involving the war in gaza. >> we are asking for full divestment from all weapons manufacturing companies, all military industrial complexes. we are asking for full transparency about the universities endowments. >> uc santa cruz administrators have released a statement saying they are doing everything possible to peacefully resolve the situation, and they're confident they will reach an agreement with the protesters. very soon. and this week, the south san francisco city council voted to pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire in gaza. the resolution says the city of south san jose acknowledges the suffering of the peoples of palestine and israel. several other bay area cities have passed such resolutions over the last few months, including san francisco and oakland. others, like san bruno and palo alto, have taken the position that foreign affairs is beyond their jurisdiction. >> california's public utility commission unanimously approved a controversial plan that will change how customers energy bills are calculated. now, the plan applies to pg and e and

other investor owned utilities. it adds a $24 charge to most bills. in exchange, customers would pay 5 to $0.07 less per kilowatt hour. the charges will fund utility infrastructure improvements, mark toney, executive director of the utility reform network, tells us this plan should result in more equitable contributions across the state. >> people who live in the coast, who have cooler climates, who don't use as much electricity, we'll see a small increase, but that is so that people in the central valley who have the lowest incomes and the highest energy use, get a little bit of a break. >> lower income customers will see a flat rate of 6 or $12. the new fees are set to take effect in 2026. >> well, we have a big bart problem here. it is. 639 i want to let you know that if you take bart, let's say from richmond to

macarthur, there is no service along the six stations here on that red line. in fact, there is no red line service. the richmond station. and here, the macarthur station at the end, and obviously the other stations here, el cerrito, the two berkeley stations and the albany station. not right now. they are not available for you. in fact, if you need to get yourself to macarthur station, you should take a bus or perhaps a car service. you know, uber or lyft to get yourself to the macarthur station. the rest of the system is working. this is because of a community issue with the trains. we're going to have more on this coming up later in the newscast. however, right now, no red line service on bart between richmond and macarthur station in oakland. triple a traffic camera showing us the bay bridge toll plaza. there's not much of a backup. there is a backup for a little bit, but it's not like it would be. let's say on a tuesday, wednesday or thursday. this morning. as we look at the

rest of the bay commute, things are a little lighter. so this bart issue may actually not be a major one as much as it would be, let's say on a monday or a thursday. westbound highway four. we do have some slow traffic in pittsburg and bay point heading over to concord. 640 what about today's weather? here's rosemary. >> all right, sal, good morning. we are transitioning to a cooler pattern for some of our inland cities. could take an extra day before you feel it, but where are we feeling it? right there where you see the fog entering the golden gate bridge along the coast. inside the bay. our temperatures this morning in most areas is a bit cooler, even down by ten and 20 degrees over parts of the north bay. with all that said, we do have a variable wind still out there, a northerly wind. you can see santa rosa, novato. even though it's calm, you see the arrows and napa reporting six. then you get through the carquinez strait in the delta, and we have a very weak onshore breeze. oakland hills also reporting a little bit of an onshore breeze at

times. there's a look at the 24 hour temperature change. petaluma by 22 degrees. you are cooler this morning. you are definitely feeling it down by ten. in oakland you go to the inner east bay and concord. a little bit cooler here. having to do with that nice breeze that's moving through the carquinez strait in the delta. but livermore not touching you just yet. in fact, you're a tad warmer 52 degrees to start your morning. 56 in san francisco, upper 40, half moon bay, upper 40s in the north bay. take a shift here and take a look at all those upper 40s rohnert park, novato, ross, fairfax, san anselmo a little bit of a chill for you there into the afternoon , our temperatures are expected to dip, even drop depending on how close to the coast you are. pacifica going to 69 for the afternoon today. yesterday you hit 80 degrees. san francisco 73. the afternoon high. yesterday it was 81. oakland going to shave off a few degrees. santa rosa doing the same. but our inland east bay areas like concord livermore going to be just as warm. upper 80s to low 90s expected for you

apparently heard concerns from tesla drivers and took to social media to respond to worries

about the supercharging network. musk posted on his x page that tesla is investing $500 million to create thousands of new supercharger chargers this year. however, the comments come just after tesla laid off hundreds of people from its charging team. a former executive at tesla had a message for elon musk after his resignation. rich otto, the now former head of product, led the department for nearly seven years. he shared his concerns over the company's recent layoffs in a linkedin post, saying the cuts are, quote, rocking the company and disrupting morale. more than 14,000 tesla employees have been laid off since april. the annual rsa national cybersecurity conference in san francisco gave the local economy quite a boost. more than 40,000 people attended the event this week at moscone center. restaurants and hotels near the center were packed with visitors from the conference. officials say it brought in more than $62 million to the city this year. >> they've really been enjoying it. we see people who are regulars for this event,

regulars for this convention coming back year after year, and they say how happy they are to be back in san francisco. >> one of the most important things we can do for san francisco is fill our convention center, bring meetings and conventions to san francisco. those folks are staying in our accommodations, they're eating in our restaurants. they're really stimulating the entire economy of san francisco. >> the rsa conference is considered the second biggest annual conference in san francisco, after dreamforce. bart's board of directors says a proposed ballot measure could be the only thing that keeps the agency running. average weekday ridership is still about 40% of pre-pandemic levels, according to the agency. bart officials say by 2027, they could face annual deficits up to $300 million, and that would potentially force the board to make drastic service cuts. state lawmakers have introduced a measure that puts a 30 year transit funding tax on the 2026 ballot. board members say this could be bart's last hope. >> it's ultimately up to the voters. the voters will decide. bart is really the backbone of the bay area and our economy,

and the bay area won't be the bay area without transit service. >> we definitely do need a bart system. absolutely. it's really important, i just don't know if i want more taxes to go up because of the cost of everything. >> right now, the board of directors does not appear to have a back up plan. if the 2026 tax measure fails to pass. >> well, investigators in hayward are trying to determine the cause of a vegetation fire that destroyed several cars and threatened dozens of homes. first reported shortly before noon yesterday in the jackson triangle neighborhood just east of highway 92 and interstate 880. the first firefighters who arrived on scene spotted huge flames shooting up through clusters of eucalyptus trees. one woman immediately took action when she spotted the fast moving fire racing toward her home. >> i jumped out, got my family out and then i don't know what came over me, but basically i just thought, well, maybe i could slow down the fire. >> there are no reports of any injuries. firefighters managed

to keep the flames from damaging any homes, but they say at least four vehicles were destroyed. time now is 649. a napa native in the us navy is being featured in a new documentary about the blue angels. >> first times you take off. you gotta push the i believe button. >> well, the documentary follows paul archer and a group of new aviators through their training process. the film also goes behind the scenes and highlights staff who maintain the blue angels aircraft and keep them ready for shows. it's set for release in imax theaters next week and will be streaming on may 29th. what a cool job. >> a real life top gun. top gun for sure. >> yeah, i love it. >> streaming soon. >> yeah, in imax too. wow very cool. all right, sign me up. let's check in with sal. big part bart problems people should know about, right? >> that's right. there is no train service on bart between the richmond station and the macarthur station. put it up

here for you on a map. so there's no train service between those six stations here? seven. if you include richmond. so you cannot get to that line. the red line is not running. if you can get yourself to the macarthur station, the rest of the system is operating. we're going to continue to have more on this. the problem, bart says, is it does not have communication with the trains on that line. it's some sort of a communication fiber issue, and we'll keep on top of that. this is a look at the bay bridge. we don't have a big backup, so if there were a better day for a problem, there's never a good day for bart problem. but today seems to be just a little bit less of an issue. there's a lot of people work from home on fridays, and you can tell by looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. 651 let's bring rosemary back in with today's weather. >> all right. so good morning to you and happy friday, everybody. we do have a cooler weekend in store. and we are already

for companies to understand the challenges facing mothers in the workplace, especially new mothers. while the pregnancy discrimination act of 1978 offers mothers legal protections

survive. and reticulated giraffes in particular, of significant portion of their range, moves through parts of africa that really struggle with a lot of civil war, drought, flooding, and various really climate concerns that are affecting their ability to do well in that environment. >> tonight, you can vote on the giraffes name on the zoo's facebook, instagram and x pages. the winner will be announced on monday. cherry picking season is up and running here in the bay area. farms and brentwood are now open and inviting families to visit and pick cherries. they want to buy. orchards are typically open only on weekends, from around eight in the morning to five in the evening. now, if you're planning to visit a farm, you're encouraged to wear closed toed shoes and bring your own buckets for the cherries. >> this program just makes fremont a safer place. so by having drones over the air, we can get a lot, a lot better of a picture, so to speak. >> a first of its kind
