Demanding israel withdraw and stop its bombardment. We will be discussing this response with our our partners over the coming hours. We continue to believe that a hostage deal is in the best interests of the israeli people. Its in the best interest of the palestinian people. It would bring an immediate cease fire. It would allow, increased movement of humanitarian assistance. And so were going to continue to work to try to reach one. President biden and israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the phone this morning. This was before the announcement of any ceasefire deal by hamas. The white house says biden does not want to see any Major Military operation in rafah that puts refugees at risk. Perry russom, abc news, washington. Us secretary of state Antony Blinken was in the bay area this morning as news of the possible ceasefire came out. He did not comment on the hamas announcement while he was visiting a Biotech Company last friday, blinken said hamas is the only thing standing in the way of a cease fire. And today, a state Department Spokesperson was critical of israels Evacuation Order of 100,000 people from gaza. Considering the extreme challenge of distributing aid to that many refugees. Meanwhile, San Francisco states president met with students who are part of an on campus encampment protesting the war in gaza. Thats a first for any university president. The students demands include having president lynn mahoney publicly condemn california state universitys investments in israel. And while that did not take place, mahoney agreed to their demand to disclose how Financial Investments are actually made. Protest organizers say they appreciate the appreciate the conversation with mahoney, and they actually do feel encouraged. A state bill that would let cities and counties regulate Autonomous Vehicles faces an uncertain future. Senate bill 915 went before the Senate Appropriations committee this morning, where it was sent to the suspense file that allows legislators time to determine its impact on the budget. But its also a common tactic used to kill a bill. The proposal by san jose state senator dave cortese, will let local governments have more oversight over driverless vehicles in their communities. The decision comes as waymo announced its ready to expand into san mateo county. All right, lets turn to the forecast. And the question, can we finally put our umbrellas away for months . Well, unless you are using it for the sun as a sun umbrella, yeah, thats an option. Yeah. But we posed this question after the incredible happen that Uc Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab reported that this weekends storm dumped more than two feet of snow. Theyre making sunday, actually the snowiest day of the season for the lab. Makes perfect sense. You dont need an umbrella there, spencer. Christian. No you dont. Who would have thought the snowiest day of the season would be in the month of may, just as the rainiest day uh in over 100 years in the month of may occurred here in the bay area this weekend. So Stranger Things are happening. Strange things are happening. I should say. Right now were looking at a 24 hour warm up of about 2 to 5 degrees from this time yesterday. So our warming trend is now underway. We dont see any rain in sight for quite some time. Right now. Were looking at temperatures in our inland areas in the low to mid 70s. But as we skip ahead and look at the maximum temperature trend for later this week, look at thursday. Inland highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. Well see low 80s around the bay shoreline friday. Some low 90s will begin to appear in the warmest inland locations mid 80s around the bay and on saturday well see low 90s in several inland locations and of course low to mid 80s again around the bay shoreline. So how long will this warm up last and how severe will it get . Ill have the answer to that a little bit later in my accuweather seven day forecast. Larry and kristen looking forward to that. Thanks, spencer. San Francisco City leaders say they are making efforts to get people off the streets, and its paying off. Mayor london breed says the citys homeless tent count has fallen to a five year low. Abc seven News Reporter cornell bernard has details and why some advocates for the unhoused are not impressed. Im noticing. Ill tell you that i am noticing, mayor london breed hopes. Others are noticing too. Fewer homeless tents around San Francisco. Weve seen a 41 reduction in tent encampments and structures on the streets of San Francisco. Breed says the latest tally in april counted 360 tents and structures, down from 609 10 counted in july of 2023. She says its a five year low. Im very encouraged by what this means for our city and looking forward to more momentum around getting people off the streets and getting them housed, but more importantly, not allowing those who refuse service to continue to take over the streets of San Francisco. I think in general, the city is moving in a positive direction. Lucy and shimkovitz says he has seen a change. I have noticed that there are fewer tents, others not so much. Only when theres a visitor, a head of state from another country. Thats the only time these streets have been cleaned. The new data comes amid the citys ongoing battle with a coalition on homelessness over encampment clearing protocols, during which a federal judge issued an injunction which sets guidelines for the citys approach to clearing camps. The city continues to focus on tents. Those arent human beings, the coalitions executive director says the citys effort is flawed. Having a big operation with the police where youre just pushing people from block to block, that ends up exacerbating homelessness and making it more difficult for folks to get off the streets. It also wastes money that could be spent on on actual solutions. Friedenbach says some unhoused folks dont want shelter or assistance from the city. Its still unclear how an Upcoming Supreme Court ruling on how cities clear homeless camps could impact the citys effort here. I hope we dont go backwards because we need we have laws on the books and we need the ability to enforce those laws. In San Francisco, cornel bernard, abc seven news. Today, supporters are pushing for a New California bill that could result in stores removing their selfcheckout service. Some stores are already changing their policies because of rampant theft. Abc seven News Reporter Gloria Rodriguez has the story. When we have more workers in stores, theft is decreased. This morning, advocates had a virtual News Conference promoting a new bill that would regulate Self Checkouts. Supporters say it cut down on thefts in California Stores and boost employment. We must protect jobs and ensure worker safety. Democratic senator Lola Smallwood cuevas introduced the bill 1446 is essential to making sure that we are addressing all of the complexity of this issue of retail theft and most importantly, putting workers and consumers first. If passed, grocery and pharmacy retailers would need a dedicated employee for every two selfcheckout stations. If stores fail to meet the requirements, they must close Self Checkouts. Leticia acosta says she manages the selfcheckout area at the lucky supermarket in pinole, and that she got attacked when she reported theft. Because of this incident, i am terrified to report any incidents of theft. This bill will ensure that Grocery Stores are properly staffed, but organizations, including the California Retailers Association, have come out against the proposed legislation. Some places are choosing to close down Self Checkout, and i think that that stores should have the ability to make that decision. I dont know that the state needs to mandate that. The California Retailers Association adds that they need to hold criminals accountable and go after repeat offenders to deter retail theft in the first place. The California Chamber of commerce also coming out against the bill, saying it would put unnecessary restrictions on retail, grocery and Pharmacy Stores implementing Self Checkout and would not result in less theft in the studio. Gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. Make it here is the theme of this years Small Business week that kicks off today in San Francisco.

Bmo the spot one if youre out on a trail around the bay area, rattlesnake season can lead to more encounters with humans and dogs. And in the east bay, snake safety precautions are now in place. Abc seven News Reporter Leslie Brinkley joining us live now from walnut creek. Leslie hey, im up here at shell ridge. Its an absolutely beautiful day. Lots of people pulling up for a Late Afternoon walk or a bike ride or a stroll with their dog in these beautiful hills. But you have to remember the warmer weather that draws us out is also drawing the snakes out to sun themselves, to mate, to chase prey. So if youre out on a trail, youve got to keep your eyes on whats ahead of you. Whether its in the woods or hiking on the grassy slopes of mount diablo, a warning has gone out from east Bay Regional Park District to be on the lookout for rattlesnakes this year. As snakes come out of their hibernation or brumation. And its called. Its good to be, good to be aware of the possibility that theyre, you know, may be more snakes than usual. 2023 wet winter means more baby snakes have grown up and theres more prey for them. And its now mating season for rattlesnakes. Watch where you put your feet. Watch where you put your hands when youre sitting on rocks or out hiking. So exercise caution and give a rattler. If you encounter one a wide berth. The Park District suggests staying on wide trails and avoiding some of the smaller, narrow side trails, and always go hiking with a friend just in case youre bitten. If its a rattlesnake or youre not sure thats a medical emergency, there are is no first aid that can be done in the field that is going to change the outcome of a serious bite. The only first aid or the only treatment is antivenom. And we only get antivenom in a hospital emergency room. So your best first aid kit is your cell phone or your car keys. You also have to keep an eye out for your dog. A lot of people like to have their dog roam off leash. This might not be the best time of year to do that, so that you can keep an eye on them. If theyre on a leash, you can prevent that rattlesnake encounter with the dog. It can be quite fatal for them, given their smaller size compared to people and something i hadnt heard of before. There is something called a rattlesnake vaccine for dogs. Its something you can look into, research or talk to your vet about reporting live at shell ridge. Im Leslie Brinkley , abc seven news. Interesting. All right, leslie, thank you. From steaks to birds, cal is sharing a composite photo of the four falcon chicks born two weeks ago. A top uc berkeleys campanile.

Its Still Producing the circulation around that high of vigorous onshore flow with gusts right now over 20mph in many locations near the coastline. But as that high moves onshore, well have a shift in the circulation, get more of an offshore flow later in the week, which will contribute to the warm up. Were warming up already, though. The 24 hour temperature change shows most locations about 2 to 5 degrees warmer right now than at this time yesterday. And as we look at afternoon highs, let me just skip over that because thats way, way ahead of where we need to be right now. Ill show you that later.

Checking out the forecast animation, well see a little bit of a marine push of some low clouds, but theyll they wont last. They wont linger to the morning hours. Well have a mainly sunny day again tomorrow.

Here in San Francisco up to about 70 around most of the bay shoreline locations. And well see mid 70s inland. But things are going to warm up way beyond that as we look later into the week. Heres the accuweather seven day forecast. So on uh wednesday well see inland highs getting up to the low 80s, upper 70s around the bay shoreline and then on thursday mid to upper 80s inland. But check out friday and saturday up to and probably above in some locations 90 degrees inland. Mid 80s around the bay up to 70 or above on the coast and we get minor cooling next sunday just by a few degrees and temperatures drop back into a closer to average range next monday.

Yes cut off San Francisco stops funding for a nonprofit that helps the homeless, fraud allegations and more against the organization, as 100,000 of taxpayer money has now vanished. Plus, we are on the horizon of a time when firsthand witnesses of the holocaust will no longer be alive. We commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day with the bay Area Organization dedicated to researching it and teaching about it e sure your local leaders are held accountable for their promises and plans, and giving them credit when they hold others accountable. And todays San Francisco City Attorney david chu, accused a nonprofit of fraud and misusing money that was meant to help the homeless community. Abc7 News Reporter luz pena joins us here now. She spoke with chu, who says their investigation uncovered illegal behavior. Right, luz . Thats right. San Francisco City attorney david chu is accusing Providence Foundation of misusing more than 100,000 money that was meant to benefit people experiencing homelessness. He said. These findings are just the beginning of their push for accountability. Fake invoices collecting more than 100,000 led San Francisco City Attorney david chu to take action against Providence Foundation. Our office is going to be seeking the debarment and suspension of a nonprofit called Providence Foundation. The invoices were submitted in 2022 for painting of the exterior of the oasis hotel, and the removal of locks at the hotel. The citys Attorneys Office discovered that work was never done. Our action today starts the process to ensure that providence is not able to apply for a future contracts uh. It is up to the city as were reviewing this and whether the current contracts would end. Providence foundation operates the oasis hotel, a shelter for families experiencing homelessness. We went to their offices for comment and their staff closed their doors. Providence receives city funds to operate a navigation center, as well as multiple housing subsidy and voucher programs. For years, they have received grants through the Citys Department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. In a statement, the Citys Department said in part hsa will be reviewing each contract on a program by program basis to determine the best way to continue Seamless Services for the guests and tenants in these programs. Its almost foreseeable when you have the avalanche of new programs and new contractors coming in, and the city wanting to get more contractors involved and not really scrutinizing those, randy shaw, director of the tenderloin housing clinic, the leading provider of permanent Supportive Housing for homeless single adults in San Francisco, is concerned about what these findings will mean for other nonprofits like his social media is filled with to it with tweets about corrupt nonprofits in the homeless sector. But the reality is theres a lot of nonprofits involved. These are still a small number, and they give us all a bad name. Our data team found that San Francisco has awarded over 213 million to nonprofits in the housing and homelessness sector for contracts starting in 2023 to present, the City Attorneys office said they will continue their investigation. We will fine you, we will cut off your funding and we will hold you accountable. And the City Attorneys office said their investigation is ongoing. He also said they identified multiple nonprofits with questionable behavior. Luz pena, abc seven news. So, lewis, were there any clues of mismanagement that took place of the funds earlier that maybe led to this . Well, larry, over the past year, the Citys Department of homelessness and Supportive Housing has sent at least six corrective action letters to Providence Foundation for a number of fiscal mismanagement and noncompliance issues, including the illegal recording of guests and employees, as well as overspending city contracts. All right. Thanks so much. I know youll keep your eyes on the investigation. Thank you. Lose communities across the u. S. Are remembering the atrocities of one of the worst acts of genocide in modern history. This is Holocaust Remembrance Day. But for the jewish family and Children Services Holocaust Center in San Francisco, the real task is educating people about the holocaust and the events leading up to it. Its what they do. 365 days a year, abc seven news anchor and race and social justice reporter Julian Glover has a look at their work. So talk to us about where we are right now. So you are at the jewish family and Childrens Services Holocaust Center. We are a center for learning, education, research and remembrance. Morgan blum schneider, director of the jfks Holocaust Center, gives us a tour of the archives each one of these grave boxes holds a story one familys life, one story of perpetration, of dehumanization. But stories of survival, stories of hope, stories of resilience inside of these gray boxes are impeccably preserved artifacts, keeping the history of the millions of jews killed in the holocaust alive today. What you see here, this is a star of david that the jews in the netherlands had to wear sewn onto their clothing. Every child over the age of five had to have a star affixed to their jacket. Morgan and her colleagues use these items to help teachers teach, and students learn about the horrors of the holocaust, reaching more than 100,000 people in schools each year. So this is one of our very special collections. This is called a yizkor book collection. Each one of these books tells the story of a Community Sharing these personal stories of persecution and survival is so important. As the world marks nearly 80 years since the end of world war two. Why is it so important that you continue to get these artifacts, these primary source documents, in front of young people, especially today, our holocaust survivor generation ian is sunsetting. We are on the horizon of a time when firsthand witnesses of the holocaust will no longer be alive. The average age of Holocaust Survivors is now upwards of 85 years old, but many of those survivors are not slowing down, sharing their stories of resilience in classrooms across california. At a time when acts of antisemitism are on a drastic rise, according to the antidefamation league, Holocaust Education is antisemitism education a truly dynamic curriculum includes survivor testimony. It includes primary source documents. It includes activity that really help these students investigate and build their Critical Thinking skills. I was born in vienna, 1937. Survivor testimony like that of herb, now 86, sharing his story, says operated from his parents, stowed away in a church outside of brussels when he was just a boy, reuniting as a man with the people who took him in all those years ago. And she said in her french, there i was, the one that took you. So after 50 years, i guess i finally met my savior, a savior to herb and an upstander by any standard, stepping up in the face of evil, a call to action for us all on this Holocaust Remembrance Day and may their stories inspire the citizens of our state to be stronger individuals. Im Julian Glover, abc seven news. And what happened cannot be forgotten, ever. All right. Coming up, were going to switch gears with the ford four. And miss usa is done. Her reason for stepping down that plus tom brady uh he took a beating. Nothing was out of bounds. And last and with vitiligo, the pursuit for your pigment is no exception. Its time you had a proven choice to help restore whats yours. Opzelura is the first and only fdaapproved prescription treatment for nonsegmental vitiligo proven to help repigment skin over time. Restoring whats yours. Its possible with a steroidfree cream that you can apply yourself. Opzelura can lower your ability to fight infections including tb or hepatitis b or c. Serious lung infections, skin cancer, blood clots, and low blood cell counts occurred with opzelura. In people taking jak inhibitors, serious infections, increased risk of death, lymphoma, other cancers, and major cardiovascular events have occurred. The most common side effects were acne and itching where applied. Repigmentation is possible. Ask your dermatologist today about starting or refilling opzelura. Pursue it. State lawmakers introduced a new bill today to regulate selfcheckout. The bill would require grocery and pharmacy retailers to have a dedicated employee for every two selfcheckout stations. If they dont, theyll have to close Self Checkouts. Supporters say the bill would boost employment and cut down on theft. Unions are certainly saying that. Opponents say it would end up hurting businesses, which a lot of the businesses are saying. But what do you guys think . I feel like im most Grocery Stores, you see like one employee standing there for maybe 6 or 8 selfcheckout kiosks. Yeah. Youre right, that sounds about right, because thats where i usually go, because i feel like i can get through a little bit faster. Yeah, because im good with my scanning. I did go to a store recently, and the person who was checking me out because i went through the actual checkout, watched a lady walk out and said, she comes back time after time, steals the same thing, but theres nothing they can do about it. Wow. Yeah, well, i mean, thats the time that we live in. So with more humans prevent that, i dont know. I mean, if they cant, you know, if its under a certain amount, i yeah, i dont know. And pretty much all the store employees are told dont get involved, dont interact. So i dont know. But one, one checkout person for every two kiosk kiosks, that seems excessive. Seems like a lot. Yeah, really. And the stores are going to go well, we cant afford to do that. Right . You just have them standing there. Yeah, thats thats not really viable. All right. Moving on. The latest miss usa pageant winner is giving up her crown to focus on her mental health. Noelia voight of utah made the announcement today on social media. She said in part, quote, my hope is that i continue to inspire others to remain steadfast, prioritize your mental health. The Miss Usa Organization responded on social media as well, saying they respect and support her decision, and theyre reviewing plans for the transition to a successor. You know, its interesting, spencer, because years ago, this was the kind of thing that people did not talk about. And its much healthier now that we can say, all right, its okay to not be okay. Yeah, exactly. And once you say that youre on the road to getting better, you know, its trying to hide those things that make people make peoples conditions deteriorate. Actually. Yeah and you look at the pressure that, i mean, you think, well, its a beauty pageant winner, but im sure in her mind shes got to look perfect every single day. And its going to be judged on her appearance. And yeah, social media on top of all of that. And youre expected to, you know, everywhere you go, just play this part, be happy, be on the, you know, ready to go. Thats a lot of pressure. A lot of people, you know, and i think a lot of everyday people are feeling it too. And they feel they have to put on this mask and go over, how are you doing . Great. Thanks how are you . You know, its youre not always great. Yeah. Yeah. Thats why i just take the barking at larry when i want to, instead of putting on the. Oh, im doing great. How about you . Lets be real. Seriously. Lets be real. Lets be real. All right . Some funny and some real uncomfortable moments last night as comedians and celebrities roasted football great tom brady. One of the favorite topics joking about bradys breakup with uh divorce with model gisele bundchen, five time super bowl mvp. Most career wins. Most career touchdowns. You have seven rings. Well, eight now that giselle gave hers back, but oh ouch. Haha. Oh that was uh dont want to be smiling. Smile. If you notice, at one point brady actually got up from his seat to warn a comedian to stop making jokes about patriots owner robert kraft. Kraft was arrested in 2019 for soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor. The roast was live streamed on netflix. But its a roast, larry. Its a roast. He got roasted. I mean, it was it was a slow rotisserie roast. Everybody got their shots and he got his shots in at them. Afterwards, spencer, i dont know if you saw any of this, but gronkowski was great. Julian edelman was great. They were taken on Bill Belichick at one point. The team owner, robert kraft, said of putin, if youre watching, give me my bleep and ring back because hes got a super bowl ring anyway, its a complete insanity. But i didnt see the whole thing, larry. But i saw extensive clips. There were lots of clips from the roast on the view this morning. I watched that uh. And did you notice how, Kim Kardashian was booed before she started even talking . Yeah, i thought that was interesting, given people watch the kardashians. Theyve been watching for over a decade, but they. But larry, she had a good one too. She goes, no, tell us that one, i cant remember kims joke, youre gonna have to help me. Something about him not being there as a father. Oh, i didnt oh, oh, she said, he reminded her of her stepdad. I dont remember the whole setup. Im sorry. No. Its okay. There were so many roasts. How can you keep track of them all . Well, nikki glaser just crushed it. She was ruthless and hysterical. So if you get a chance, check out. Thats what a roast is supposed to be, right . Yeah. No, i mean, and it was. It was a its a long time to sit there and have people just punch you in the face verbally. You could. It feels like the fourth. Uh you could enjoy a free harbor boat tour at the port of oakland starting this week. I may be on one, you will board a blue and gold boat at the oakland jack london terminal for the ports 90 minute harbor tour. It will take you through the port around the bay bridge near yerba buena island, and then return you back to jack london square. Not not in a matson container, though, all tickets are gone for this weeks tour, but additional tours are scheduled on fridays from now through october. Tickets are free, but registration is required. A nice tour is beautiful, but it begs the question are there any iconic bay area Tourist Attractions that folks have never visited . Because typically we dont go to, you know, whatever alcatraz or whatever the case may be. I go when people visit here, i take them because they want to see the sights. I will say, as a local, i was trying to think of some thing i havent done, the only thing i could come up with and i dont necessarily really consider it an iconic bay area thing. I keep saying im going to hike mount diablo and i have yet to hike mount diablo. I would guess a lot of people havent been to angel island, which also has a lot of good hiking. Oh, love angel island. Yeah, its great. I spent overnight there. Its just gorgeous. But i bet people go to alcatraz before they go to angel. They do exactly right i was i visited the bay area a lot before i moved here 25 years ago, so i had seen most of the popular sights before i moved it. And ive gone back to them since arriving, so. Yeah, ama, i would say go to the top of mount diablo in the wintertime and have a snowball fight. Thats the best. That is the best. Thats thats my pro tip for the day. Just. Ill throw snowballs at you, larry. Yeah, lets do it. Lets do it pretty much every day. Im not a participant in this. Not a participant. Stay out of it, spencer. Business.
