Pap admitted during the trial that he broke into the pelosi home with the intent of Holding Nancy Pelosi hostage. Student rallies continue on College Campuses across the bay area. Theres a mass outcry for a ceasefire resolution in gaza as the war between israel and hamas goes on. And jewish students organized a rally on stanfords campus yesterday. Organizers say was to express support for stanfords mission of diversity. Some students say they feel pressured to keep quiet and that they say they cant speak up freely about world events and some feel like they need to hide their face because of antisemitism. A graduate waive the palestinian flag. She walked across the stage at uc berkeleys law graduation. This was the ceremony from over the weekend. There were also protests on saturday during the main graduation ceremony. Protesters have been camped out at the university for about 3 weeks now. And a new report on the israelhamas war published by the Biden Administration is drawing fire from both sides of the aisle. The report concludes that israel likely violated International Humanitarian law. But u. S. Officials cant be so sure. Our washington correspondent Trevor Shirley is in dc with more. That report was released on friday and throughout the weekend continued to get pushback from both lawmakers and administration officials. The report found likely evidence israel breached International Protections for civilians as it carries out its war in gaza against hamas. Its reasonable to conclude. That there are instances where israel has acted in ways that are not consistent with International Trade law. However, u. S. Officials could not link specific weapons to individual attacks by israeli forces. That caveat could give the u. S. Some future leeway in deciding how and to what extent to supply israel with more weapons. We continue to look at investigate each of these incidents but critically. So does israel already. Some lawmakers say israel should be held to account with further weapons shipments conditioned on whether it follows international laws. I think any objective observer knows. Israel has broken international law. It has broken american law. And in my view israel should not be receiving the nickel in u. S. Military aid, but others instead pointing the finger only at hamas. Well, i think its impossible to mitigate civilian deaths in gaza is longest hamas uses their own population as human shields ive never seen in the history warfare, such blatant efforts by enemy hamas. To put civilians at risk, the administration was compelled to create and then release that report by congressional democrats. Reporting in washington, im Trevor Shirley. All right.

Start to see the thinning of the fog in San Francisco. We stand at 56. We are trailing by a few degrees here. Nothing too major, but getting in and around negative 5 there around livermore.

These Crime Fighting drones help officers with the prevention and detection of crime most times giving them eyes on the ground were otherwise they would be able to see anything news. Nations Xavier Walton explains why officers say that these drones are saving lives. Crime fighting drones almost sounds like something out of a scifi movie almost doesnt seem real. But if you talk to Law Enforcement officers are going to tell socialite guys in here at the sheriffs office. Crime fighting drone just taking their police work really to the next level. Thats both literally and figuratively. Of course. And the officers here, the Sheriffs Department certainly not alone nationwide. Roughly 1400 just like it using crimefighting drones. This is video out of nashville. A suspected shoplifter caught and then taken into custody. Thanks to the departments drone. Cops were called about the crime and the officer operated drone was able to locate that suspect from the sky at night. And officers on the ground were able to take him into custody, apprehended. And thats the strategy departments are using nationwide. The drone is a nontraditional way for officers catch criminals. Police say they get eyes on the suspects sooner because the drones have a camera that allows officers to see what the suspect is doing in real time and the drone can reach places. Officers can drone and ai coverage and footage. Is a great way to be able to do that. Neighborhoods that are really being hit hard. With violence, carjacking open their shootings. So this video is from the bend Police Department in oregon. You can see the suspect right there taking off on foot. Before police later catch him, whether its big cities small towns, more Law Enforcement agencies or adding Crime Fighting drones. But with that, some organizations like the aclu say there are major privacy concerns. Critics believe drones and the officers operating them need more guardrails. Nonetheless, drones are being used in a number of ways from catching a shoplifter to say search and rescue efforts. We speak to officers. Some will tell you know what, using a drone in some cases is actually safer than having a officer or say a deputy respond from fort lauderdale, Xavier Walton news nation.

Judy lopez is a San Francisco native and has been a practicing nurse for over a decade. The mother to says it was a calling to get back and to help others. As a young child, i saw nurses in their uniforms and scrubs as heroes. And i still feel the same way today. While pregnant with her second son, julian, she ended up having him prematurely little does she know this was going to change her personal and professional life for ever. I found myself in the most wonderful time of my life. And the social worker and everyone was supporting me at the hospital, then realized i could benefit from having a Service Called field Home Visiting program where the nurse comes directly to your home. Its a free voluntary program. And with that guidance, i was able to feel. Support the support she received came from a free program from others through the San Francisco department of Public Health. She says the experience helped her navigate having a preemie and gave her the skills she would later use. Learning different modalities. Like how can i keep him healthy and then still make sure that i was to keep myself healthy. And i was also and agree being stay. I had lost my mom that year. So it was a lot on my plate. But i did know that with a nurse coming to the home in my sacred space, my humble home that i felt supported. Jenny, so inspired by the experience later became a Public Health nurse herself and didnt forget the program that poured into her. Actually, the first job that i was hired for was with maternal child adolescent health, the same Home Visiting program that serves me in my most vulnerable time. So for me, it was such a gift and that little boy who was once a preemie in her lap. While she studied to become a nurse is now. 22 and just finished his first semester in nursing school.
