Today, a first of its kind meeting to figure out the future. Its very sad to see so many of these hungry, weak birds. Its kind of affecting the whole coast. We dont really know what the deal is yet. Plus, the growing mystery along the california coast, hundreds of starving and stranded brown pelicans. How a local bird rescue is stepping in to help. Good morning to you. Welcome to tuesday, may 14th. Lets check on your forecast that may gray really linger. Yeah its back again. And this morning well find a little bit of a thicker layer of cloud cover overhead. Heres a live look outside from the exploratorium camera showing you like stephanie just alluded to. We start out with cloudy skies out there. Were going to have fog first thing this morning, and it is reducing visibility just a little bit in parts of the north bay right now, santa rosa, were coming in at three miles visibility elsewhere. Were doing just fine. Its another day where those clouds will break down very slowly throughout the morning as they pull back to the coastline. Right now, underneath the cloud cover, basically in the mid 40s to the low 50s, as we get you out the door on this tuesday. So live look at sfo with the cloud deck upstairs. Heres how it shapes up your sunrise at exactly 6 a. M. This morning. Well have that may gray early on. Those clouds will clear like they did yesterday for mostly sunny skies. The coast is still cool in the 50s and low 60s around the bay shoreline. The first half of our day is pretty chilly. The afternoon that sunshine warms us up into the 70s and then inland. Today, just like yesterday, well get you into the mid 80s for daytime highs. Lets see how the commute is going on this tuesday. Amanda good morning. Yeah good morning drew. It is 501. And look at your overall map shows a lot of green which is the good news that typical slowdown through the Altamont Pass is the only thing were really seeing. This morning. But thats to be expected. Back out green nothing in your way. Lets send it back to the desk. Thanks, amanda. This morning, a growing problem that weve seen across the country is now here in the bay area. Vandals targeting tesla supercharger stations. They cut and then take off with these thick charging cables. More than a half dozen were hit outside a target store in vallejo over the weekend. Abc seven News Reporter j. R. Stone explains what the thieves might be really after cut all the tesla charging cables. Thats joshua beckler, who recorded that video in vallejo sunday, monday, tesla crews could be seen fixing the stolen nozzles, the supercharger location behind the target. I went to go to the gym with the wife i went to, parked the tesla to charge it while we were inside, and found that the majority of the tesla cables have been cut right before we walked in. As to how many nozzles were cut and stolen, theres one, two, three. Well speed it up. Since so many were hit seven, eight and nine that were head yes, nine charger nozzles cut and stolen, nine others untouched along with generators that were untouched. Its crazy stupid. Like i dont know, why would they do that now that i hear it from you , im shocked. We broke news to some tesla drivers and even showed them the wires that had been cut after crews replaced them. This is what they cut here on the wire. What is your thought looking at this wire that was cut, well, x amount of things i mean, is there copper in there . Somebody do it at a frustration with the mass layoff thats been going on left and right . Becklers belief about what happened here echoes the talk online and in light of recent incidents similar to this one across the country. Well, i used to run investigations for quite some time, 17 years for local retailers. And so it was a common sight to see generators stripped in the back of local retailers, often for the copper. And so seeing that theres a ton of copper in those cables and seeing that they had removed the cables and taken them with them, as well as a junction box that had a ton of copper in it, then its pretty obvious that they went to go scrap it. These charging stations are in view of a parking lot surveillance camera, but its unclear at this point if that camera captured any images to help in the investigation. Vallejo police tell me they are looking into the online reports submitted. No arrests have been made. Sources tell me at least one other nontesla charger has been hit in recent weeks in this area too. We also saw a case last week in houston, texas. Tesla did not return my emails in target, did not get back to me regarding possible surveillance video. J. R. Stone, abc seven news on the peninsula. Now theres a lot of pressure to approve farmworker housing at tonights planning meeting in Half Moon Bay, Governor Newsom has called on the city to expedite those housing plans or face legal action. Amanda is at the live desk with the timeline. Yeah, stephanie, theres been growing focus on this issue after a mass shooting at two Mushroom Farms last year put a spotlight on poor living conditions. A big project has been in talks for years. The proposed location is at 555 kelly avenue in Half Moon Bay. Mercy housing and the Nonprofit Alliance want to knock down a vacant house and replace it with a five story Senior Housing complex for farm workers. But there have been disagreements over the size of the building and parking. There have already been two meetings to move forward with a vote. Earlier this month, Governor Newsom threatened legal action, accusing local officials of stalling the project. Abc seven News Reporter luz pena asked Half Moon Bays mayor about the situation. Do you think the process is taking too long, adequate time . It feels really interested in building farmworker housing. Give us funding will make a good use of those fundings.

And china. Doctor nolan higdon from cal state east bay, explains why both countries have an interest in working together on ai security. These nations, like china and the united states, are competitors against one another, so it behooves them not to Work Together in this space. But on the other hand, you know, theyre both leaders of countries, and they fear about the security of their country. They fear about their ability to control information. And so in that sense, they kind of have a joint interest as well. The meeting in switzerland was first agreed to when President Joe Biden met with chinas president xi jinping, here in the bay area during apec last november. The topic of safety with ai also prompted a brief hearing at San Francisco city hall yesterday. Supervisor dean preston is pushing to add safeguards over false and misleading ai generated material, particularly its role in city elections. Some examples were given of material being circulated right now, we believe strongly that the threat of election disinformation turbocharged by ai is too grave. We cant just go with business as usual. We need to take real proactive steps forward to ensure that our elections are not subverted. Currently, four bills centered on ai protections are making their way through the state legislature. Hi, drew.

Stephanie, you might remember the Biden Administration announced these new rules last month. They would require airlines and travel agents to disclose any charges for luggage or canceling or changing a reservation up front, right on the same page where they quote a price for a flight. But a group of airlines and the lobby group, airlines for america are claiming the department of transportation is exceeded its authority. With that rule, they argue the rule will complicate the ticket buying process and create confusion. The Transportation Department says it will defend the rule in court. This isnt just about enforcing when something goes wrong, its making it less likely something would go wrong in the first place. This will build confidence in air travel at a time when Airlines Need to do more to secure passengers trust. Of the six Biggest Airlines in the country, southwest is the only one that did not join this lawsuit. It argued these rules dont apply since theyre passengers already get two free bags. Depending on how this legal fight plays out, airlines have six months to put these new rules in place. Reggie. Thanks, amanda. A win for the as and their effort to relocate to las vegas yesterday in the Nevada Supreme Court struck down a proposed ballot measure that would have allowed voters to repeal public funding for the project. Lawmakers approved the 380 million last year. Supporters of the ballot measure say theyre going to try again to get this onto the 2026 ballot. The Supreme Court has denied californias plea for immunity for covid deaths at san quentin prison. That means several lawsuits can now move forward. Back in may 2020, staff at the prison in chino tried to stop an outbreak by sending more than 100 inmates to san quentin, san quentin had been covid free at the time, but after the transfer, hundreds of people got sick and more than two dozen died. State lawmakers later blasted the decision, calling it the worst Prison Health mistake in state history.

Rosenberg still faces one felony and three misdemeanors, and she could face up to five years in prison if convicted. Were following up on a story we first told you about last week on abc. Seven mornings, a surge of starving pelicans along the Southern California coast. Now weve learned the birds are also showing up here in the bay area. Two weeks ago, the International Bird rescue center in fairfield started treating about a dozen pelicans. Now that number has jumped to 130 birds in distress. One of these pelicans showed up at saturdays giants game. During the fifth inning, we showed the video to bird experts and they seem concerned. Thats definitely not normal behavior. That was a young bird, so he was probably just starving and looking for whatever, whatever place he could find food. Its not clear why this is happening. Caring for the birds is expensive, and the rescue relies heavily on donations. It is costing them 1,000 a day to keep these pelicans fed. Experts say if you see a pelican in distress, call your local animal control. May is asian american, native hawaiian and Pacific Islander heritage month in the south bay.
