They try to remove a safe thats bolted down but failed every week. So sometimes the store, sometimes the other store, another camera captures the suspects and the cars they arrived in.

Well the stanford athletic programs are now considering joining the Atlantic Coast conference, simply known as the acc as ktvu. James torres reports. Ucs board of regents met this morning to raise some questions. The agenda for the university of californias board of regents special meeting simply says uc berkeleys pac 12 membership. And we heard as of this morning the acc had a call with a number of university of president s saying they are still evaluating the idea from 12 to 4. The pac 12 conference is slowly fading after several universities evacuated to other conferences enticed by media rights deals. So its frustrating. You know, theres some anger in there, but right now were focused on is this season and theres still a lot to be determined for us. The conference moving forward, theres people working on that. But right now i coaches, were all in with our players. Cals head football coach says hes having a hard time finding the answers for recruits worried about the changes. But now reports indicate cal and stanford are each considering a move to the acc, home of athletic powerhouses clemson, florida state, North Carolina and duke when it comes to football. Espn College Football writer Kyle Bonagura says the competition shouldnt be a problem. Stanford and cal are in that tier with the acc. Theres a lot of like sized universities in that league. So from a football competitive standpoint , it would actually be a pretty nice landing spot. Coach Justin Wilcox says right now hes focused on getting his team ready for the Season Opener in september, though he admits whats happening to the pac 12 is sad. I grew up around the pac ten pac 12 conference and watching it and being fortunate to be a part of it coached in it for a long time. Its really sad , you know, from what i know, it probably didnt need to come to this, but, you know, things happened along the way and really unfortunate, really unfortunate. Ucs board of regents met this morning in a closed door session. Leaders held calls for the last two days, proposing the idea to schools in the conference. Bonagura says the fit may be great for football, but a tough sell for the other sports. And the idea that youre going to travel, tennis and baseball and softball and swimming and diving across the country for every away match or meet or whatever it might be, is just its hard to believe that either university is willing to do that, given the academic requirements for the student athletes at both campuses. There are no plans for any official votes. Anytime soon, and any changes wouldnt take effect until next year. Stanford leaders say they are also exploring options to ultimately make the best decisions for its student athletes. Im james torrez. Ktvu fox two news.

Learn from them so that this doesnt happen ever, ever again. You all need to resign immediately to have our government say, look, we made a mistake. These are their names. We appreciate, you know, maybe a little what i explained before, just a recognition the white house says President Biden is honoring their sacrifices, but he also stands by the tough decision to withdraw. Instead of letting the war drag on with no end in sight in a statement, the department of defense also shared their condolences, writing in part, quote, we are forever grateful for their service, sacrifice and committed efforts during the evacuation operations.

The airstrikes and fighting on the front lines only expected to intensify with us officials claiming moscow is not interested in finding a peaceful solution to end the conflict.

And in 2022, 998 of the calls were false alarms. Vallejo recently passed a local emergency over the citys police shortage. The department is taking public input on that proposal. At the meeting at city hall tonight, new calls for the department of justice to investigate and take over the antioch Police Department. Now ktvu brooks jarocz explains why. Civil rights attorneys say the Police Departments problems are too big to fix without help. The time has come for major intervention, and this is what im asking in this four page letter to the Us Department of justice, civil rights Attorney John Burris calls for an investigation into the antioch Police Department, all for what he calls a sustained pattern and practice of racially biased policing. The department out of contro who are supposed to control the officers, the serom racist and homophobic Text Messages among officers to claims of falsifying reports, illegal searches and beatings of black and brown people. Burris, who represents 13 plaintiffs in two major civil lawsuits, says hes interviewed 140 others who have similar stories. As you cant get real change with individual cases, but you can do it if you have pattern and practice and you have the amateur of the Us Government saying you are going to do this and you must do it right now, the texting scandal involves at least 45 of the 100 antioch officers. Dozens have been suspended. Some messages contain threats against mayor lamar thorpe and recently retired police chief steven ford. But the Antioch Police Officers Association maintains thats not reflective of the majority. And its really unfair to smear the very fine officers of this department with the bad statements, conduct and actions of a few. While the pr is not against a fair federal investigation, its attorney denounces the idea of federal oversight, as we dont want to see the limited Financial Resources of anti to a single individual like oaklands been doing for two decades without really improving the delivery of effective professional Police Services to the community. Still, civil rights attorneys argue that command staff either supported bad behavior or turned a blind eye, making it necessary. They say, for an independent monitor to oversee reforms. Antiochs mayor says he welcomes the federal investigation and says hes open to federal oversight. In antioch, brooks jarocz kttv icu fox two news Emergency Responders in redwood city say at least 21 people got sick following a chemical leak at an office complex.

Investigators traced it to a freon leak at a faulty air conditioner inside a building housing a biomedical firm. This is a little unusual. Its not its not unseen. Theres mechanical failures on commercial buildings pretty frequently that will put an odor into a building most time it doesnt cause a symptom. And thats really what necessitated the hazmat response. Firefighters say the workers complained of nausea and dizziness. They were all treated at the scene and no one needed to be taken to the hospital. San francisco supervisors are arguing over a plan to get drug users off of the streets and into Wellness Centers. Supervisor Hillary Ronen criticizing a plan by supervisor matt dorsey to scrap plans for the Wellness Center and instead divert millions of dollars into jails. Ctvs Jana Katsuyama talked to both supervisors about their plans. This building at 444 sixth street near the hall of justice in San Francisco, was identified as a future Wellness Center for drug users. A place to get users off the streets and closer to care and services. Its an attempt to solve the citys drug problems, but also a concern for people working at the Beauty Supply business next door. I think it would be bad for our business. I think that they should find another place to put it. San francisco supervisor matt dorsey, who represents the neighborhood originally voted for the idea, but he sent a letter to mayor london breed friday saying he no longer supports that plan. There was going to be six different sites and six different neighborhoods to relieve the pressure that narrowed down to three sites. One in the tenderloin, one in the mission, and one in south of market. Then it narrowed to one site. Dorsey also says the City Attorney has ruled that none of the Wellness Centers can have supervised consumption sites because theyre illegal under federal law. Dorsey says he no longer thinks the wellness hubs will be effective in reaching drug users. When i signed up for this , the idea was that wellness hub was going to be a safe consumption site. Instead, he wants the 18. 9 million in funding diverted to help incarcerated drug users through Jail Health Services supervisor Hillary Ronen called dorseys pivot a political ploy. She says Wellness Centers are important and can still help drug users, even if they dont offer a supervised consumption space. What we can do is we can fund all the other services that Wellness Centers provide counseling, Harm Reduction supplies, acupuncture, wound treatment, visits with doctors. Ronen says dorseys district already has a Harm Reduction center nearby at sixth street and mission streets that is overwhelmed with demand for services. Previously, 150 people a day were using those services. Now there is request of over 500 people a day. Jana katsuyama ktvu fox two news.

Some districts are turning to creative measures in south carolina. The Fairfield County School District is building a socalled teacher village. They hope the low cost of housing will help with retention. Others, like san Elissa Harrington near el paso, texas, believe their newly implemented fourday school week is a game changer. We have the teachers applying and we have waiting lists for the very first time in our district. Teachers say the support is needed so students dont pay the price. It is so important that we have educators who really value teaching and who really will look and work with our students. The burden is falling especially hard on black and latino teachers who are already underrepresented in the industry. Last years nea poll found 62 of black and 59 of latino educators were looking toward the exit signs. In washington, madeleine rivera, fox news.
