7 00. Things are intensifying. More protests, more tension and more arrests on College Campuses across the country, students are demanding a ceasefire in gaza and for their colleges to divest from israel. The propalestine antiisrael movement has moved onto the campus of San Francisco state, a university with deep roots of student protest. Dozens of tents have gone up in solidarity with other groups, stretching from stanford and uc berkeley and across the nation. Nbcs Terry Mcsweeney is at San Francisco state tonight. Tonight, a very different look on the San Francisco state campus. More than 30 tents have appeared and the people sleeping in them are vowing to stay until their demands are met. Free palestine. Hundreds of people demonstrating today against us support of israel in the war in gaza followed by the encampment in front of the Student Union and then those demands disclose, divest and like declare. That means disclose and divest any financial dealings with israel and to condemn the normalization of genocide and the normalizing ation of the state of israel, which is an illegitimate state. Some faculty members showing their support. So i think the students here who are prepared for the long haul struggle that is for the liberation of palestine, is something that many faculty here support and are ready to stand alongside them. On this first day and evening of the protests here at San Francisco state. Not a Law Enforcement officer in sight. University keeping it very low key, only saying they want to protect their right to protest and keep everybody safe. It was a very different scene down in the stanford campus today. Thats where the university is threatening students with suspension if they continue camping in white plaza. Protesters have also demanded the school divest from companies who do business with israel. For example, Lockheed Martin literally supplies weaponry to israel and has been transporting these weapons that are being used against the Palestinian People at Columbia University in new york, where the student protests all began two weeks ago. The school is already suspending demonstrators who refused a deadline to leave. The students refuse to trade in the blood of palestinians at uc berkeley. Similar demands from those camping out in front of sproul hall at Cal Poly Humboldt University Campus is closed. Its only Online Learning for the rest of the semester that after students took over two buildings. Far more aggressive response to demonstrators at virginia commonwealth in richmond this evening. University tonight saying the trespassing protesters, not all of whom are students, were given every opportunity to leave on their own but refused. And earlier, at university of texas austin, flashbangs and tear gas deployed to clear an encampment there. The protesters may feel united and have similar demands, but the response from campus to campus has been very different. Terry mcsweeney nbc, bay area news. Terry, thank you. And this, of course, is putting a lot of pressure on President Biden. Can he broker a ceasefire in the middle east . The u. S. Is leading a push to reach a ceasefire and hostage deal before israels planned ground assault in the overcrowded city of rafah. Secretary of state Antony Blinken met with arab leaders today in saudi arabia. You see them there for the first time. Israel is offering an extended ceasefire. If hamas releases the most vulnerable hostages women, children, elderly and the injured or sick. It would also allow much needed aid to enter gaza. Hamas has before it a proposal that is extraordinarily, extraordinarily generous on the part of israel. And in this moment, the only thing standing between the people of gaza and a cease fire is hamas. Over the weekend, President Biden repeated to israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the u. S. Opposes a major operation in rafah because of the civilians sheltering there. Who is moving on to the november election. We could actually find out as soon as tomorrow. And the recount of that high stakes congressional race to replace retiring congresswoman anna eshoo. So the first count in the two county race determined sam liccardo will move on, for sure. But joe simitian and evan lo tied for second. San mateo county has already finished counting its ballots, and Santa Clara County expects to finish tomorrow morning. And the man who requested the recount spoke with our ian cull today in his first tv interview. During this process, he said it is, quote, mind boggling that the recount is taking this long. Many questions have also been raised about who is funding the superpac thats footing the bill for the recount. So we asked him about it. Theres been absolutely no talks with mr. Liccardo or his campaign. Anybody on the campaign. This is done completely without any of their knowledge. And, you know, they even want us to do things were not necessarily willing to do right now, like reveal the donors. Were going to do that following fec guidelines. And midjuly, that man, jonathan padilla, has challenged 32 ballots that are still in envelopes across the district. He argues that they should be added to the results. Those challenges will have to be ruled on before the recount can be finalized by the state. Well, keep your windows closed tonight. Thats the message from firefighters after a smoky fire in west oakland, flames broke out just before 6 00 this evening at this commercial warehouse building on myrtle street. This is near west grand avenue and mcclymonds high school. Even though the fire is out, crews say smoke is still lingering in the area. No word on how it started and thankfully, no injuries were reported. How did it happen tonight . An investigation is underway in fremont after that fire ripped through a bunch of Storage Units. The fire broke out at around 6 00 this morning at the extra Space Storage facility on fremont boulevard, not far from washington high school. In all, 53 Storage Units in one building were destroyed. Thankfully no one was hurt, but that building has been red tagged and new. At 11, a suspected drunk driver who hit four children on a sidewalk in the south bay is under arrest. Tonight. Cupertino police say that the man was under the influence of alcohol or drugs saturday night when he crashed his pickup truck into a car on foothill boulevard. Investigators say he then hit a power pole and then hit the children ages four, seven, eight and 11. Two of them have serious injuries. Santa clara county Sheriffs Office posted on social media tonight that they and the community are heartbroken over what they call a preventable collision. Well, its been a problem for a few years now. Freeway shootings here in the bay area, especially in the east bay, new numbers obtained by our Investigative Unit show a decline in these freeway shootings. But the problem still persists. Heres nbcs pete serratos. Its impacted us tremendously, not just our family, but the community. Sophia is the mother of five year old eliana crisostomo, who was tragically shot and killed last year while riding in a car with her family along 880 in fremont, three gang members were charged for the shooting, with authorities saying the suspects believe the familys car belonged to a rival gang. Ill never be able to see my daughter go to prom. That was all taken from her, you know, she was only five. But in the latest data obtained by the Investigative Unit, it appears that bay area freeway shootings are trending down. The numbers from chp show freeway shootings doubling during the pandemic, reaching a peak of 178 in 2021, that number dropping to 126 in 20 23. 25 into this year. The number is at 21. While the downward trend is encouraging, some criminal justice experts say there needs to be an emphasis on preventative measures and police come in after theres been a victim. You know, art, this is a bigger social issue in oakland. City leaders still have concerns. Thats where the majority of freeway shootings are still happening along 880 and 580. For example, since 2023, San Francisco has seen about a dozen freeway shootings. Oakland has seen four times that amount. When it comes to the highways, i have noticed a difference, but we got a long ways to go. Still, i do see a lot of the speeding and some of the activity, theres still a lot of control. The chp hopes were headed for even bigger drops in crime stats, with more than 480 new license plate reader cameras on the way from the state. As for sophia, the new numbers arent necessarily making her feel safer, she says. A preliminary hearing for her daughters case will take place tomorrow, and the freeway shell take to get to the courthouse will be a reminder of the senseless killing of her five year old. It gets me anxiety, you know, but i have to go. I have to continue to be there and fight for my daughters justice. Pete serratos, nbc berry news. An ongoing power problem once again shut down a critical courthouse in san jose today. The Family Justice Center handles everything from divorce, child support, payments to temporary restraining orders.

The latest housing prices are in, and theyre actually higher than this time last year. The combination of Mortgage Rates still hovering above 7 and low Inventory Means bay area prices are likely to stay sky high. Most counties saw big price hikes. Take a look. County by county prices jumping by as much as 20 from last year. Even with a little more inventory on the market, the prices preventing most ordinary people from buying and those who are buying are overbidding. The prices are going up, i believe more than just that, the Interest Rate, the Interest Rate and the scarcity, it just feels like theres still a lot of money in the economy. Its a good time if youre selling. Theres now a 180 gap between the typical bay area mortgage and the typical bay area rent. Many housing analysts say its less expensive to rent in just about every category. Were back in 60s up next, two off duty nurses come to the rescue at an east bay basketball game.

Nbcs Jodi Hernandez shows us exactly what happened. But we do need to warn you the pictures may be tough to watch. It started as a friendly game of sunday hoops. Just, you know, two teams going at it on the basketball court. But the all out Sports League matchup in clayton took a scary turn when a player suddenly collapsed. When i seen him down, he did not look good. Off duty kaiser nurse doreen thrasher was watching the game when it happened. She immediately ran to the court to help. All of a sudden hes not breathing. I feel no pulse and we jumped right in and we started cpr. Another off duty nurse from john muir began chest compressions as thrasher began mouth to mouth, but it was the gyms portable defibrillator that may have ultimately saved his life, followed by now shots delivers. Theres a button you press, i press the button. It shocked him right away, and right away he woke up. His eyes opened and he was breathing. It was nice to see the community rally around this man and i was rooting for him. We were all rooting for him. Noli caldera captured it all on video. He was there to document the game but captured a miracle instead. I wanted to give these people recognition and show that, you know, theres still humanity out there and people still care.

The Biden Administration is canceling federal debt for millions of students, but the deadline is already tomorrow. And in order to be considered, you will have to consolidate your loans by midnight tomorrow. Types of loans include commercially held federal education loans, parent plus loans, perkins loans, and Health Education assistance loans. Those who missed the deadline may still receive some credit once they consolidate their loans, but the white house urges everyone to act now. The twitter sitter stays. Today, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal from elon musk over a settlement with the securities and exchange commission, the sec. The case stems from messages that elon musk posted on twitter in 2018, in which he claimed he had secured funding to take tesla private. Those tweets caused the companys share price to jump and led to a temporary halt in trading. The settlement requires musk to get approval from his attorney before he tweets about tesla. He filed a petition with the Supreme Court to undo that settlement back in december, arguing it limited his free speech. Well, if you drive an ev, this could be really good news for you all teslas chargers in california are now open to other electric vehicles. The 10,000 supercharger orders are in addition to the states 105,000 public ev chargers. This move follows the recent approval of a nearly 2 billion plan to expand the states charging network. The goal is to meet governor newsoms executive order that all new car sales be zero emission by 2035. Well, california and the bay area are leading the country when it comes to buying electric cars, but recent data is revealing some concerns that are keeping many buyers from making the switch. The Governors Office says more than a quarter of all new cars sold last year in california were electric, but the initial cost of a new ev is still keeping many people on the sidelines. We looked into buying a used ev, and with hertz recently putting thousands of their evs on the market, prices are coming down. Experts also note many Cash Incentives are still available. Whether your income qualified or not. Every single californian and pge territory qualifies for a 1,000 rebate on a used ev, no matter which vehicle and no matter what your income is. The state survey also shows that most ev owners charge at home, and thats a problem for many apartment renters. Well, it is almost may and that means the end for the ski season up in tahoe.
