Right now at 5 30, we are counting down to carnaval San Francisco, the largest multicultural celebration in california. Good evening. Im elizabeth cook. More than 400,000 people attend the event every year. Latino Community Leaders are all about celebrating milestones, but as kenny choi shows us, theyre also shining the spotlight on a problem for many in their community. Reporter when marias husband got deported to mexico, she understood her journey would come with struggles, including cleaning three large homes a day, with most of the payments going to the Small Business she worked for. I started almost nine years ago with 80 a day. Reporter thats 26 and change per home and less than 9 an hour. At the onset of the pandemic when she couldnt find much work, she began volunteering at the Mission Food Hub which launched Food Distribution days to three times a week. The people asking for a little bit more, so im telling maybe two or three pieces more. Reporter reynosa not only served, but also received much needed food assistance. Lately its a challenge as the hub recently reduced distribution to once a week. The rest of the month what do we do . Im looking for the food pantry. Reporter Roberto Hernandez is founder of the Mission Food Hub with Office Vacancies still at all time highs, essential jobs depending on workers commuting to the city hitting hard times and the demand for food hasnt faded. What happened to the janitor working there, when you think about the hotels, all the people that work in the hotels and hotels arent being filled . What about all those workers . Reporter hernandez says the hub served 9,000 families per week at the height of the pandemic. He still sees reynosa helping at the warehouse despite her cleaning business recently growing to serve seven clients. Having family and all the struggles, she has brought so much life. Reporter with the stronger command of english and a decade of adapting to a once foreign country, reynosa believes she could find a better paying job with health benefits, but her teenage son has special needs and multiple therapy sessions a week. Shes building a Small Business on her own for the flexibility it allows to take care of jonathan. I need to work. Its only me and him, nobody else. Reporter thats why she visits food pantries. Its an assist she one day hopes she wont need. Im working hard. So when i feel exhausted, im thinking about you. You need me. So thats why i make it strong. Thats why. Reporter it takes courage to tell ones story of struggle, but shes sharing it knowing it could help the ones who need it even more than her. Hernandez says the Mission Food Hub isnt getting government funding or donations like it did during the pandemic. He says there have been newcomers who visit after seeing other food pantries run dry. We are six days from the carnaval parade. We have live special coverage at 10 00 a. M. Sunday on pix 44 cable 12 and streaming on the free cbs news app. Lets take a live look at our bay area airports. We are days away from memorial day weekend which mark the unofficial start of travel season. The first wave of travelers w flooding airports this week. The tsa expects 2. 9 million guests at the airport friday and is expected to top 3 million this summer, an all time high. It will make you less stressed out if you have more time across the entire experience of travel. Delays at boeing and engine issues on some airbus planes means several u. S. Carriers scaled back summer plans, but the nations airlines still expect to fly 271 million passengers, up more than 6 from last year, another new record. The prosecution rested its case in former president trumps hush money trial after nearly four days of crossexamination of star witness michael cohen. Now lawyers for trump will present their defense. On the witness stand, trumps former fixer admitted to stealing 30,000 from the Trump Organization. Cohen testified that when he invoiced the Trump Organization in 2017 for what he says was reimbursement for payments to Stormy Daniels, he also included funds meant for a tech firm, but he never paid the company. It felt like one of those moments on the stand where he raised his voice and felt like he really caught cohen in yet another scheme in front of the jury. Prosecutors later let cohen explain between paying Stormy Daniels and getting a smaller than expected bonus, cohen felt like he wanted to charge trump a little bit extra. Cohen is the prosecutions last witness, sending the case over to the defense. The judge says he expects closing arguments next week. In a manhattan courtroom nearby new jersey democratic senator Robert Menendez is facing bribery and extortion charges. That trial resumed today. The senators accused of acting as a Foreign Agent to benefit the governments of qatar and egypt. He is pleading not guilty. To baltimore now where the cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott key bridge is finally on the move. Its been nearly two months since the bridge collapse that killed six construction workers. Today tugboats surrounded the 984foot damaged vessel moving it back to port at about onemileperhour with its 21 member crew on board. Officials say its a major step forward. Were excited to see us reach that milestone, but we understand theres still a lot of work that needs to be done. Crews will work to clear the remnants of the bridge from the river with hopes to fully reopen the channel by the end of the month. Meanwhile federal officials are still trying to determine exactly what caused that crash. Last week the ntsb released a preliminary report which found the ship had a pair of catastrophic electrical failures just minutes before the crash and had experienced two blackouts while in port a day earlier.

Cleary was a berkeley alum. You can vote now on the cal falcons website. The winning set of names will be revealed this thursday. Taking a live look outside, some haze hanging over the golden gate bridge. First alert chief meteorologist paul heggen is here. Honestly, i was so happy to see the sun. Ill deal with the haze. We saw plenty of sunshine today, even coastal parts of the bay area, another day of that tomorrow and then the fog and low cloud cover starts to return to the coast. Lets look at what you need to know heading through this week before memorial day weekend, a brief oneday warmup and then back to near average high temperatures wednesday and thursday. A big cooldown kicks in as we head into the holiday weekend, not feeling like the unofficial beginning of summertime, but it doesnt look like the system bringing the cool air will have moisture to access, so we dont expect any decent chance of showers for the weekend. Looking outside now from Treasure Island towards downtown, you can see the haze shrouding the hills in the distance. Temperatures drop off through the evening, but we climbed up to 80 degrees in concord this afternoon, most inland temperatures in the 70s with mid60s in San Francisco and only upper 50s along the coast for half moon bay. Very little fog developing as we head through the rest of tonight. Were largely fog and cloud free. Thats the case heading into early tomorrow morning. Futurecast is just indicating a couple patches of it here and there. It wont take long for that to dissipate, should be gone by 9 00 or 10 00 and full sunshine will allow temperatures to warm up after a normally cool start, a mix of upper 40s and low 50s by early tomorrow morning, everybody within a couple degrees of normal for this time of year and then high temperatures tomorrow are going to reach up to 6 or 7 degrees above normal in most locations, low 80s for the santa clara valley, 82 degrees in santa rosa and los gatos, even warmer inland in the east bay, mid to upper 80s, 88 degrees for a high in antioch, not quite 80 degrees for fremont or redwood city and the exception to the 6 or 7degree departure from average along the coast, about a degree above normal for half moon bay, low 60s, 70 in San Francisco with temperatures in the north bay mostly reaching the 80s by tomorrow afternoon. This is a oneday warmup. Well see a big drop in temperatures as we hit the end of t workweek. Lets look at the tenday temperature outlook for first San Francisco, the temperature of 70 tomorrow not matched anytime soon. The biggest drop in temperatures kicks in just in time for the beginning of the threeday weekend. Saturday looks like a pretty cool day with temperatures in the 50s and 60s across the entire bay area, even going far inland to around livermore, high temperatures only in the mid60s but just for one day. Were back up close to normal high temperatures for the holiday monday. Thats the case as we head through next week as well. Lets look at the sevenday forecast. Well start inland where temperatures will be toasty tomorrow but closer to normally warm by wednesday and thursday and then the roller coaster reaches its bottom on saturday with a climb anticipated on memorial day, monday, just one day of more abundant cloud cover on saturday, a mix of clouds and sunshine around the bay the rest of the sevenday forecast. Along the coast you get full sunshine one more day and then fog and clouds start to return wednesday and thursday, the cloudiest day for everybody on saturday and the coolest day. Again, because its 2024 and seems like so many weekends have been raining, we dont anticipate a good chance of showers for memorial day weekend. Good news. Thank you, paul.

Weve got the nfl up top and the raiders, a sad goodbye to the raider franchise first ever draft pick, 00, jim otto, played center like he invented it, 1960 to 1974 passed away sunday at age 86. Otto anchored the offensive line for 15 years only wearing the silver and black uniform. He never missed a game his entire career. Otto credited that streak to an early message from then head coach al davis. He said you cant come off the field. You have to get off your [ bleep ] and keep yourself going. I have mentioned that to mr. Davis in the past, too, that i will continue to get off my butt and keep going and thats why im here today. I could have quit a long time ago. Awkward segway to baseball, giants outfielder luis matos named National Player of the week to keep him from going back to the Minor Leagues for a while. Heliot ramos will also stick around a while. Ramos and matos combined for 21 hits on the recent homestand with 24 runs batted in. That sparked a struggling offense. We have a good vibe going, good friendship if that makes sense, and we just want to keep it going and play good baseball. Its been refreshing to get some guys up here that werent part of, you know, the early part of the season when things werent going well. Giants have a record of 2325.

Grand pappy wood mouth from the show. He was a central ongoing character in the show and was very important for brother buzz to converse with. I think if we spent more time learning to understand one another instead of laughing at each other and making fun, the world would be a better place to live in. Reporter brother buzz was a busy bee who taught children about kindness, good manners, and so much more. It was the First Program that dealt with the environment and with kindness to animals. Were looking for an aquatic mammal. Have you seen one around . And the interesting thing about my father was is that he knew nothing about animals. Reporter your father was an artist. Yes. And he had to research all of it. Reporter shisee truly had a deep connection to San Francisco. His wide range of work was appreciated by many for decades. Bruce is proud of his fathers legacy and touched by the San Francisco Public Librarys gesture. Im just very delighted. My former partner has already seen the exhibit and she says its just really tremendous, so im looking forward to seeing it. Reporter the legacy of a renaissance man who spent the majority of his life contributing to bay area culture that continues to live on. Neat to see those. Ralph died in 1991. If youd like to learn more about him, the free exhibit is located at the San Francisco main library on larkin street. It will be on display until august 18th. Thats it for the news at 5 00.

Rent is on the decline in the town. Well tell you why. From upgrading aging buildings to security to Healthy School lunches, San Franciscos schools are in need of a Major Overhaul and voters may get the say if they get the money.
