Some more and bring you that information at 2, 3, this afternoon. Back to you. I think what court for entire this encampment in other counties around the country across the world, that not about the university not about it is some of the rhetrric that weve seen in some extreme cases like at ucla and Columbia University . Its clearly crossed the line where jewish students are being blocked from accessing common spaces. And so were looking to take proactive steps to prevent some of these more extreme things from happening here. So making sure all students feel safe and accepted on campus that is proving to be at odds with some of the demonstrations on monday. Tense popped up at the quad at San Francisco State University and the tent and camp and at uc berkeleys sproul hall is now in its second week today, faculty and staff are planning to join in the protest. The protesters say they want the university to stop investing in companies that work with israel, especially if they are involved in making weapons of war.

It appears to be in response to the hamas terror attack on october 7th, which started this war, 1200 civilians in israel killed 250 more were taken hostage that day. And tyler gregory, the ceo of the bay areas Jewish Community Relations Council posted this message on social media about that sign saying these berkeley signs arent propalestine their prohamas in support of terrorism against jews and do nothing to help the cause of palestinian statehood. And on the peninsula. Students are demonstrating at stanford university. They said theyre concerned now about disciplinary action coming from the school. Students told us the school sent them letters about participating in the protests. It start off with 19 for out of like 2 or 3 more. Cant exactly remember. Who have gone . Gotten letters from the office of Community Standards and are basically being put through their internal disciplinary process. The language is very vague.

We did reach out to stanford to see what these ramifications might be, but so far have not heard back when we do, well let you know. And happening now, students from across Oakland Unified School district are staging a walkout in solidarity with the university protests for palestine, Oakland Tech High School be one of the schools participating.

And has campus protests are escalating. Congress is now threatening consequences. House republicans are launching an investigation into federal funding for the sun for universities and pushing to pass a new anti semitism law. Our washington, d. C. , correspondent Hannah Brandt tells us why some lawmakers say now is the time they need to get involved. House leaders accuse University Officials of failing to keep these protests under control. Also saying theyre not doing enough to protect jewish students. Fireworks erupted at ucla and protesters clashed on campus across the country of colombia. New york police stormed University Building to arrest dozens of protesters who have been occupying it. This thing is out of control from capitol hill. Lawmakers are watching with concern and House Speaker mike johnson warns of universities dont get the chaos under control. You will see Congress Respond unkind. Youre going to see funding begin to dry up. Youre going to every level of accountability that we can muster. He says several house committees will investigate the protest and may decide to take away federal funding. And this week, congress is gearing up to vote on a bill to change the federal definition of antisemitism under antidiscrimination law. The rampant antisemitism. Requires action by the federal government. Congressman mike lawlor introduced legislation and supporters say it would allow universities to crack down on harmful speech. This is not the free marketplace of ideas. This is open threats to jewish students because of their faith and who they are. But some worry it goes too far like congresswoman teresa ledger, fernandez, were constitutionally bound to protect. Free speech, even more importantly, when it is speech with rich. We do not agree. And congressman pete aguilar prefers letting universities respond. They have guidance. They have they need to enforce those before. Congress creates new ones. The white house as well. President biden does support peaceful protests. He is concerned about antisemitism on campuses and he doesnt agree with protesters barricading themselves inside of University Buildings in washington.

Well talk about our forecast now on this beautiful day. Were going to check in with kyla grogan to see whats happening and why is it really 70 in San Francisco right or very were also get breezy is like in syria. This wind advisory. For sacr mento, you can see areas to the north, but also for those of you who are along the delta there. So that does include the late have that does include fairfield and were looking for offshore wind up to about 40 Miles Per Hour. Gusts through about 05 00pm. You can already see where some of that is starting to happen in fairfield now about 15 Miles Per Hour. And were picking up also out of the coast here, Half Moon Bay doubt 2022 point kind of 2 dynamics going. And as we get to the afternoon, this is San Francisco. You can see that were going to see that wind get a bit gusty again. So these are the sustained winds are looking out for about 16 Miles Per Hour or so. Taking you to future wind gusts. Gets kind of interesting here because weve got an onshore push happening out of the coast, right . And then weve got an offshore push, a more northerly flow happening as we look inland, which translates to were all going to be a little breezy, not just today, but into tonight. And frankly into tomorrow as well. Its basically a wind gradient that set up. We have High Pressure off the coast of we have low pressure to the interior and whats happening is you get that win gradient. But also the High Pressure is building up and its allowing us to warm up, at least for now. There is another low pressure system and that will ultimately knock temperatures down. But today, tomorrow, friday, look out for days like this where you can see San Francisco right now at 66 degrees. Were just a 57 out Half Moon Bay. But look at how many 70s we already have today. San Jose Livermore concord and santa rosa. All in those low 70s oakland at about 68 degrees. So where are we going today . Were going to get pretty warm. And yes, it does look like we could get up to that 70 degree mark. Even in San Francisco, you can see the only place really staying cool today is out at the coast or theyll have that onshore flow but inland, were going to go above where we were yesterday. Were looking at temperatures in the upper 70s, even low so this is well above average, obviously. So i talked about the fact that were going to knock those temperatures down once we hit the weekend. And the reason for that is simply because that High Pressure breaks down and that allows a cold front to track in atd ahead of that front will come some showers. So theyll be late friday. Well start to see the clouds roll in friday evening, but late friday into saturday, 1st half of saturday, at least thats where to get some showers. You can see a little sierra snow slated to show up as well as we start a brand new month now. How much rain are we talking about between about a quarter of an inch and a half an inch .

Drug Enforcement Administration announced its plan to move cannabis from schedule one status to schedule 3 ceo of the National Cannabis Industry Association, aaron smith says for years marijuana has been viewed federally as having no medical value and a high potential for abuse. It seems absurd. But, you know, since the 70s cannabis has been a schedule, one substance alongside drugs like heroin lsd, President Biden called for the review back in 2022. Reclassifying does not legalize cannabis federally, but it would allow pharmaceutical companies to get involved with selling drugs in states where it is legal.

Marijuana businesses are unable to deduct things like their rent, their payroll and marketing expenses, their compliance costs, the cost of the security cameras in their in their facilities. Spark on 6 dispensaries in the bay area. And ceo eric pearson says 2. 80 e has limited investors from taking cannabis seriously. He hopes becoming a schedule. Threedrug will change that when that gets eliminated, it frees up capital that makes investors more interested. And investing in cannabis companies.
