Around their heads and racist messages attached. Williams is a well known dog walker in the neighborhood, so this fire is not just a shock. Its deeply upsetting to be targeted this way and now to be burned out of his house. I cant imagine what hes going through. I mean, on top of just living with racism on a daily basis. And now to have this, you know, in our neighborhood, neighbors organized a weekend rally recently to support him because of the racist mail. And as todays fire was raging, they moved quickly to take his three rottweiler dogs to a garage nearby to keep them safe. Fire investigators are still trying to figure out how this blaze started, and they are fully aware of the prior history here. San Francisco Fire Department is aware of the criminal investigation that is attached to this address. At this time, the Fire Department investigators will take that information as context for their investigation. San Francisco Police have been looking into the racist mail, but no one has been arrested. Williams says he was at city hall when the fire started. The board of supervisors was taking up a resolution denouncing the racist mail supervisor dean preston represents this district. Its absolutely shocking. I mean, this is a site where weve had the most explicit, outrageous racist threats against a family in a formerly black neighborhood with a black family that, despite the odds for, for, for years, for decades, has able been able to stay in this community. And now, because of the fire that family is displaced. And for the last half hour or so, weve been watching some members of that family going in and out of the building , trying to recover some items. The Fire Department tells us that this fire has displaced seven family members, and within just the last hour or so, the San Francisco department of building inspection just put a red tag on that building. It is uninhabitable. Reporting live in San Francisco. Im sergio quintana, nbc, bay area news. Okay. Thank you, seth hill.

That flight so violent, one man died and several others were hurt. Now, some analysts are saying that turbulence during flights is likely to increase in the future because of climate change. Nbc bay areas scott budman joins us now. Youve been tracking this story all day, and the video from inside is startling. Yeah, jessica, these always are. And this one is no exception. Those two follow the Airline Industry say they deal with turbulence every day, conditions that often surprise even pilots. So they say to passengers, be careful and stay belted when you fly. Sudden extreme turn is being blamed for dozens of injuries and one passenger death, believed to be from a heart attack after a Singapore Airlines flight from london to singapore hit strong turbulence. Once, at 29,000ft tall, you have the maximum level of winds flowing around the tops of those mountains and that air is rising and falling and twisting, and if youre downwind from those mountains, youre going to get turbulence. Retired pilot doug rice says he sees more reports of turbulence these days. Some blame it on climate change, making conditions in the sky even more unpredictable. All were dealing with varying things that impact our atmosphere winds, storms, jet stream and mountains can all affect flights, and sometimes it can hit without warning undetected by radar because you dont know when youre going to hit, especially whats called clear air turbulence. Cat and they cant be seen. You just drop. And its a its disheartening. Certainly its a scary experience, an experience common enough. Frequent fliers say their advice is to stay strapped in. Its not unusual. Thats why the pilots tell you to keep your seat belts on at all times. Singapore Safety Investigation bureau says it will deploy investigators to look more deeply into what happened. Jessica. Okay. Thank you scott. She calls it a scheme. Alameda County District attorney is suing insurance companies, she says on behalf of homeowners, da pamela price has filed a lawsuit against Farmers Insurance and mid century insurance. The suit claims those companies defrauded homeowners by undervaluing their homes when charging them premiums for their coverage. She says the insurance does not adequately cover their homes, so if there is a disaster, the owner is left with not enough money to rebuild. Its a lawsuit, aims to ensure that homeowners receive fair and information and the necessary information to adequately protect their homes, which is most of us understand and know. This is the major asset of every family. Farmers insurance tells the San Francisco chronicle that the allegations in the complaint are simply incorrect. Company goes on to say it looks forward to addressing the concerns and defending its position. Close allies are at odds today. Its over. The decision by the International Criminal court to seek arrest warrants for israels Prime Minister and leaders of hamas, the u. S. And uk both reject this move against israel, while france and belgium are defending the courts independence. Nbcs alice barr has the latest from washington dc. Growing fallout today over the International Criminal court seeking arrest warrants for israels Prime Minister and defense minister on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including allegations of deliberately starving the people of gaza and intentionally targeting civilians as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of gaza. The icc also seeking to arrest top hamas leaders over allegations they deny of murder, rape, torture and hostage taking during the brutal october 7th attack that started the israelhamas war. Hostages must be released immediately. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outraged in a new interview with msnbc, stephanie ruhle, is equating israels democratically elected leaders with the terrorist tyrants of hamas. Thats like saying, well, im issuing arrest warrants for after nine over 11, im issuing arrest warrants for george bush. But also for osama bin laden. President biden refuted the courts allegations against israel. Whats happening is not genocide. We reject that. The blood of 40,000 palestinians is on your hands. Protesters interrupting secretary of state Antony Blinken on capitol hill today, where he told a Senate Committee that targeting israeli officials for arrest jeopardizes ceasefire negotiations. That only complicates the prospects for getting such an agreement. The british Prime Minister, under scored that point as the uk also rejected the icc moving against israel, while france and belgium are among the countries defending the independence of the International Criminal court. Close allies at odds as the war in gaza rages on. Part of the objection here is that the u. S. And israel do not recognize the International Criminal courts jurisdiction over the war in gaza, but the warrants do put israeli officials at risk of arrest if they travel to other countries, and it puts them on the same footing as russian president vladimir putin, who faces icc arrest warrants over actions in ukraine. In washington. Alice barr, nbc news. All right. Thank you, alice. The andersons site both sides have now rested their case and Donald Trumps hush money trial.

What a warm day out there right now. 81, in livermore. Well talk more about the temperatures ahead for tomorrow and whats coming our way. This wee form of the disease. Oftentimes it can grow and spread regardless of treatment. Thats because over time, treatment can stop working due to mutations in that cancer. But doctors say the key to getting the right treatment could be to test for the mutations early on. The key is to test for these mutations, because for some patients you can have detectable esr1 mutations, for others they might not be seen. But the key is to do a blood test to test for esr1 mutations, because if they are seen, that could have implications for treatments. Health experts say its important for patients to have open discussions with their doctors to get the right treatment plan. Well, even in a region as wealthy as the bay area, there are always people without enough food to eat. No place is immune, not even an elite four Year University in San Francisco, but a student there has been stepping up to help. Garvin thomas joins us now with her story in tonights bay area. Proud janelle jessica. When malia busansky came to the university of San Francisco from her home in hawaii, she knew that helping the environment was something she wanted to learn more about. It was there, though, that she could do that. She learned she could do that, but also help others at the same time. One of the traditions of graduation weekend is students showing their family the places that have influenced and inspired them over the past few years. Usf is proud of the graduate for graduate maria busansky, though that was going to mean taking her parents off the university of San Francisco campus to just outside the 16th and mission bart station. Thanks, dad. Youre getting into it. Its here. For the past three years, malia has been coming every thursday evening to share food. There you go. With those who could use some. Wed love to have it with everyone. The meals malia normally serves on these evenings are made up of excess food gathered from usf dining halls and the San Francisco food market. It is part of malias effort to bridge the gap between those who have too much food, with those who dont have enough. This is what im passionate about. This is what im interested in. If i see a problem and i know, like, awesome, this is this lines up with everything i stand for. Like i will 100 go for it. And then you go down the stairs. But its not just out in the community that malia has made her mark. Its right on campus, too. When malia started with the Food Recovery Network at usf, its food pantry for students was not the easiest to find. It was housed in the basement of the school library. It was right in this room was the in a closet original food pantry. It definitely was something it felt like we wanted to keep it hidden. We maybe didnt want to talk about bread. Sometimes these days, though, it has found a much more spacious home. The Food Recovery Networks weekly food giveaways now in the librarys main lobby and featuring much fresher food, will regularly draw in 100 students. Bigger malia helped make it the less stigma there was among students about using it, which is just what she wanted to happen. Yeah, its awesome and its grown into something thats people will come and hand out cookies or make coffee. Its a very like its something that students are super excited to get involved with. To come to usf as the end of a College Career is typically a time when students look forward to all the change theyre going to make in the world, malia estella hopes. Of course, there will always be those who dont want to wait until graduation to get started. Obviously not only doing good, but a good student. I heard from the head of the Environmental Studies Department. He said she won practically every award there was to win in Environmental Studies Department this year. And if youre thinking, well, shes graduating, whats going to happen to the Food Recovery Network . Its in good hands. Her younger brother is going to be a junior there. Hes going to take it over. Hes going to take it over for her. Im starting to suspect that this is a family pattern and that this started a long time ago. Time ago, probably when she was little, too. Thanks, guys. Im graduating. I cant wait to see what she does next. Okay. Thanks, garvin. Very cool. All right, jeff, our last day of before it starts to chill down, right . Yeah. We had some summerlike weather today, and then gradually were going to see those temperatures drop, where eventually this weekend some spots are going to go as much as 20 degrees colder. So a lot coming our way. Lets take you to that microclimate forecast right now. Well get you outside to some of this warm air and just beautiful outside right now. Livermore at 81, santa rosa 85. You go near the coastline. It was cooler there with a little bit of that foggy breeze, 57. 5 moon bay. So huge difference there from the coastline to the inland valleys and San Francisco right now at 73. So lets take you out here to concord and show you how the temperatures are really going to be dipping through tonight. Were going to hang on to some 80s here all the way through 7 00, some 70s by eight and nine. And then eventually we get some 60s in here later on tonight. Now, as we head into tomorrows forecast, im still seeing plenty of warm and sunny weather with us from this area of high pressure. But the other thing im watching is this smaller system just off to the north. Its going to produce some rainfall in washington and oregon, but its moving a little bit closer here to us. So thats going to help temperatures to drop a little bit for tomorrow. Also get some fog back going at the coastline on. So here it is through tomorrow morning. Well see the best chance of fog right at the immediate coastline from San Francisco down to about half moon bay. Also, some of these low clouds for parts of the east bay. And a little bit of a patchy fog chance here for gilroy. Then as we roll through the afternoon, sunshine is back. For most of us, except for the beaches right around half moon bay. Likely will hang on to some of that fog. So morning temperatures going to begin with. Plenty of 50s across the bay area. Not too many differences tomorrow morning in those temperatures. Low 50s south bay peninsula, tri valley, very similar weather here over the east bay with 53 and the north bay 51 now daytime highs. Because of that system off to the north are going to begin to drop a few degrees down here in the south bay it will be four to about six degrees cooler. Were going to be back down to 78 in san jose. So still a perfect day outside. 77 in cupertino, just not as hot. And really, you know, mid to upper 80s this time of the year kind of a little bit too hot too soon. So i think tomorrow is going to line up really nice with what you want. 77 in vallejo, 80 in walnut creek, 71 in hayward. We remain cold at the beaches, 59 at half moon bay, over to redwood city, 71, San Francisco 65. In the outer sunset, and for downtown 68 and for the north bay, a pretty substantial drop drop here in sonoma, down to 79 and mill valley 72. So numbers begin to slowly fade out tomorrow, and then were going to see some larger changes by this weekend. Weve got this cold front thats going to be dropping in right now. I dont see any rainfall with it, but look at the temperature difference from those 80s today down to 68 on saturday. Now a warm up. Well get a good day here on sunday 75 and monday 77. Were just going to start that weekend off on the chilly side. One other thing were watching is the Severe Weather tomorrow, another round of it coming our way from dallas to little rock right up towards saint louis, louisville, nashville, even columbus, ohio. Thunderstorms and the chance of tornadoes right here on San Franciscos forecast 50s coming in this upcoming weekend. And for memorial day, were going to top it out at 77. So we got that big dip coming on the way. But at least its not going to be lasting all week long. We get a little little blast of that and then were done with it. Its like a refresher i like that. Yeah. Refresher cool and refresher. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. Well, coming up, some good news for shoppers, specifically target shoppers. Why prices are dropping and why president for free.
