Transcripts For KTVU KTVU 20240703

Good afternoon and thank you for joining us. Im andre senior and im claudine wong. Happening now nurses in Santa Clara County are officially on strike. They say hospitals in the county are asking them to do too much and not offering enough. Ktvu james torres explains how the two sides got to this point. Nearly 4000 nurses finished their shift early this morning and immediately took to the picket lines. Its all about ensuring Patient Safety and nurse safety. Strikes happening at a total of three area hospitals run by the professional registered nurses association. They say theyve not had a contract with Santa Clara County in months. Theyre demanding improvements in staffing, keeping nurses to just one hospital and improved security to prevent workplace violence. I was punched in the face by a patient simply because they were hungry and were upset that they couldnt eat anything, but it was doctors order because they were going to go in for surgery. And as a normal practice, youre not allowed to eat or drink anything. If youre going to go to surgery for your own safety. During the strike, about a thousand temporary nurses are filling the gap. Only a fraction of the number of nurses out. We were able to train in and orient a number of contracted replacement staff who are there, helping to provide for patient care and to ensure that our patients are safe. Despite the significant challenge, county executives say the terms theyve offered have been more than enough, arguing they provide competitive salaries to the point where vacancies and turnover rates are much lower than the national average. Thats why were so disappointed that that rmpa so quickly rejected the mediators proposal before announcing a strike. We were hopeful that that proposal, which in our view represented a very fair, offer, would have been accepted by rmpa. This could now cost the county up to 20 million, which is already seeing a 250 million deficit. These nurses, however, say the county is inflating the numbers it provides. They say in their most recent negotiations, they didnt deny the money. But the ratio of patients to nurses. And we need to have the right amount of nurses to take care of the patients. Similar demonstrations are happening at Oconnor Hospital and san luis regional down in gilroy. The strike will last until friday morning. Reporting from san jose, im james torres, ktvu, fox two news. There is turbulence between two of the bay areas airports, San Francisco and Oakland International. Now, Oakland Airport wants to add San Francisco bay to its name to attract more travelers. Ktvu Amanda Canton is live in our newsroom with some of the arguments for and against this proposed change. Amanda. Well, andre, the full name being proposed is San Francisco bay. Oakland international airport. Sfo does not want to see San Francisco at the front of that name. Yesterday, leaders at sfo expressed concern, saying the new name could be misleading and will cause confusion for the public, either through a misunderstanding of its physical location or its perceived relationship to sfo. But nearly 20 organizations and city leaders support this change, and theyre saying it will help bring people to oakland and to the east bay. Our proposed name modification is both pro oakland and pro jobs. We want to boost jobs and Economic Activity for oakland. Okay is located on the San Francisco bay. We would hate to see a situation where a traveler books thinking that theyre going to one location, and then only when they land do they realize that theyre somewhere else that they hadnt intended to go to. So we think its really critical for airports to accurately represent the region where theyre located. The port of oaklands commission is expected to vote on the name change at a meeting next thursday. Supporters say, adding San Francisco bay to the Oakland International airports name would help better identify geographically where the city of oakland is, and they want travelers to know that they can get to popular bay area locations from oakland. Now, i did ask leaders at oaklands airport if there were any other name options but San Francisco bay, Oakland International airport is right now the only name being proposed okay would remain. The airports code, even if that name is changed. Sfo Officials Say that they are considering taking legal action to prevent this name change. Live in the newsroom amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. Amanda, thank you. New at noon now, police have arrested two people in connection with a shooting at a safeway parking lot in American Canyon. Authorities say Christian Evans was arrested. The 18 year old is facing several felony charges, which include attempted murder. The second person taken into custody is a minor also facing attempted murder charges, both being held without bail. It happened late yesterday afternoon on west American Canyon road, and we now know the shooting in that parking lot started as a fight that escalated into gunfire. The three people who were taken to the hospital, they were shot. They have not yet been released. San Francisco Police say 216 year old boys are under arrest in connection with a deadly shooting of another teenager. The 17 year old victims body was found thursday night near the powell street bart station. His name has not been released. Investigators say the two juveniles were quickly identified as suspects in that homicide and arrested the next day. Both were booked at the juvenile justice center. Their names will not be released because they are minors and we are learning more about the bay area couple who was killed over the weekend in that Small Plane Crash in truckee. Friends and colleagues identified the israeli husband and wife as 57 year old lee rahn and 58 year old naomi petrushka. They say they were tech entrepreneurs and investors, and the dving force behind palo altos upwest, an investnt firm specializing in helping the founders of Israeli Tech Companies break into the us market. Friends say liron loved to pilot his own plane, and he just loved that he you see, he i think he came to life when it was about startups and it was about flying the airplane. Federal investigators are still searching for the cause of that plane crash. Well, right now, all state parks in the big sur area closed indefinitely following saturdays road collapse on highway one. The closures include andrew molera, julia pfeiffer, burns, lime kill and pfeiffer. Big sur state parks, as well as point sur state historic park. Camping reservations have been canceled, and anyone with a reservation will receive a refund. Now, emergency crews in Monterey County ushered a convoy of drivers to safety yesterday. The crumbling section of road is about a mile or half mile from bixby bridge. Its created a logistical nightmare for caltrans and people who live and work in the area. As many as 2000 people were stranded over the weekend. Well, now only residents and essential workers are allowed through at the present time. Were really discouraging any visitors from coming down here until until its deemed safe. Caltrans has a plan for temporary fix, which involves expanding the shoulder and placing 500ft of concrete barriers along the center line of the roadway. No word on how long a more permanent fix might take, or how long this inconvenience to drivers might last. Well, construction is expected to begin next year. On what is considered one of San Franciscos biggest housing projects ever. However, that project could already be getting smaller. Muni is planning to build 465 affordable apartments, alongside a replacement for its aging bus facility on potrero hill. The planning began six years ago, but project managers say they are still facing several major funding hurdles, and that could dramatically scale down the number of Affordable Housing units that are built. The Silicon Valley billionaires, who hope to build a new city in in solano county, are celebrating a major victory this noon. A judge has ruled in favor of the Investment Group behind the socalled California Forever project in their battle against some farmers in the region.

Attorneys for 20 landowners denied the accusations and urged for the judge to dismiss the case. A trial date has yet to be set. Coming up, it was a case that shook the bay area, and now a new documentary will be out on the case surrounding the death of alexis gabe. Why the family hopes this will help answer questions. Two years after her remains were found, and the state department of Water Resources releases its most important snow survey of the year. Why the snowpack level is considered average even though state Officials Say its an a plus rating.

As foxs trey yingst tells us, this comes as tensions build between iran and israel. An israeli air strikes, killing at least seven aid workers from world central kitchen late monday in gaza, forcing the charity to suspend operations in the region. Among those dead, several foreigners, the group says its workers were in the process of delivering vital aid when they were struck. Israeli officials apologized tuesday for the incident, calling it unintentional and promising an investigation. We are checking this thoroughly. We are in touch with the governments and we will do everything for this not to happen again. Meanwhile, iran and one of its proxies, hezbollah, are vowing to respond to an airstrike that hit irans consulate in syria yesterday, reportedly killing seven people, including two top iranian generals. Iranian state media is blaming the attack on israel and says its countrys Security Council met late monday and decided on a response. Hezbollah, by the way, has restricted its targeting inside israel to the north. They have not targeted israeli cities, which they can reach. Any one of them with their much longer range and more precise and lethal missiles. Israel said it had no comment on the strike, though. On tuesday, defense minister yoav galant warned any attack against the country would face a heavy price. Same way we operate everywhere, every day in order to prevent our enemies from gaining strength. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a new ceasefire plan and hostage release proposal has been drafted by negotiators in cairo and given to hamas in tel aviv. Trey yingst ktvu, fox two news. Former President Donald Trump is getting back on a campaign trail today, with stops in michigan and wisconsin. The former president has held only one Public Campaign event since he locked up the republican president ial nomination back in midmarch. Trump says voters understand his Campaign Time has been limited because of his demanding court calendar. Look how well im doing and the people understand it. Both michigan and wisconsin are considered battleground states in the president ial election. President biden is expected to travel to wisconsin on monday. New at noon. We do have a better idea about californias Water Resources. The California Department of Water Resources held its most important snow survey of the year, since its water planning and supplies are based on this peak of the rain and snow season, it is important enough that the governor was there for the survey. Lets go to ktvu tom vacar, who joins us now with the results. Tom, ask yourself, when is a grade of c actually an a . Here were just slightly above average for historical and traditional snowpack for the sierra and the Trinity Mountain ranges. Phillips station at the entrance of the sierra tahoe ski resort, is just one of 265 snow courses, plus another 130 remote snow sensors blanketing the vast snowpack area. Our snowpack is at about 105. Using that metric, our automated snow Sensor Network looking this morning was about 110 of april 1st average snowpack. So were in a good place right now. As andy mentioned, the good news today is actually only part of the story. We will see over the course of the next couple of months how this snowpack translates into runoff into rivers, streams and reservoirs that are communities and our environment, our economy, the food that we grow in california all relies on that. Now, as to the all important reservoirs, californias big six mega reservoirs are already 113 of their historical levels levels, but they still have 16 additional capacity available to store any additional rains. Plus that coming snowmelt. But all three of californias 37. All im sorry, all but three of northern californias 37 key reservoirs are all above 100 of normal. The rest are very close to normal. Thats an amazing change. Back to you. It really is amazing, tom, considering how slow kind of the snowpack was to start and some of the other surveys that we saw come out of there where they were very low. We saw the governor in that video. Did he make a comment . What did he have to say about the overall state of californias water . Basically, he tried to push forward his plan for the future based on Climate Change and all of that stuff. And there was a question or two about that. But the overwhelming majority of the rest of the questions had to do with the oakland situation, with crime and with the help, the help that is being provided by the state of california. And of course, the budget which is very critical right now that will affect everything, including crime and reservoirs and everything else. So he was more there to just maybe take a bow, but he was really there to answer those other questions that he knew would come up. Yeah, certainly there are multiple conversations that are very important to be had right now about california. Thanks so much. Tom vacar reporting live in the newsroom for us at this hour. Our staying on the subject of weather ktvu meteorologist rosemary oroczo is here this afternoon with us to show us what the day to be looking like. And if the dress youre wearing is any indication, sunshine for most of us. Rosemary for today. Yes, andre and claudine. But more snow on the way, if you can believe it. More on that coming up in the extended forecast today. Similar to yesterday for many of us, although we did see a subtle change as expected this morning. And that brought temperatures down for areas especially over the north bay. Were talking about fog giving you a live look here over San Francisco, where you can still see a little bit of haze out there. The fog developed last night and moved into some of our bayside communities this morning. And with that, santa rosa 12 degrees cooler compared to yesterday. So you are feeling that notable drop. Meanwhile away from that influence livermore five degrees warmer this afternoon. San jose by four. So temperatures ranging from upper 50s at the coast, as well as in santa rosa to low 60s in oakland to low 70s in fremont. Right now, the inner east bay of walnut creek enjoying 71. Our winds are generally light. We will see just a little bit of an uptick as we get into the afternoon. A little bit of a localized sea breeze, but right now, hayward reporting six miles per hour, san jose also reporting six and were calm in livermore. Well continue with the partly cloudy skies for today. Do expect the fog to develop once again tonight into tomorrow morning, followed by high clouds associated with the storm that is going to bring us wet weather by thursday. So thats whats coming our way. This is what we do expect for the rest of today and into tomorrow. Again, notice were mostly sunny away from the coastline as we get into tonight and tomorrow morning. The clouds are back, this time a little bit more widespread, and the inner east bay, the south bay and the north bay likely to wake up with gray skies. A little bit of drizzle out there. Tomorrow is going to be a mainly dry day, but its going to be a transition day. Were definitely going to notice the onshore breeze picking up a little bit more, the temperatures cooling off just a little bit and then late in the day those low clouds move out, but the high clouds begin to move in. And that is what is associated with the storm that is coming our way for thursday. Temperatures for the afternoon today, 64 degrees in San Francisco in the north bay, 70 degrees in napa, and for the inner east bay, 70 for concord. So a nice one, especially inland , the south bay, the peninsula enjoying 72 for the afternoon. Today ill have a better look at the system that is coming our way as we are looking at wet weather, not only for thursday but friday, unsettled for the weekend and as i mentioned at the beginning, snow for the sierra. More on this in the extended forecast coming up. Rosemary. Thank you. Coming up, it looks like the us is behind on qantas screenings. And th reasons vary by race abortion rights. Today, Florida Supreme Court upheld one of the nations strictest abortion laws. Danamarie mcnicol has more on how long the law might stay in place and how it could impact the president ial election chances. Lend an ear your war on women stops right here. Protesters on both sides of the abortion debate making their voices heard outside Florida State Supreme Court on monday, the justices ruling to uphold one of the nations strictest abortion laws, giving the green light for the state to ban the procedure after six weeks starting next month. But it was a bit of a split decision. The court also ruling voters will get the chance to decide for themselves in a november referendum that could override the ban, putting abortion back on the ballot during whats expected to be a contentious president ial election season. And its already ramping up. Im running to make roe v wade the law of the land again. So women have a federal guarantee to the right to choose the biden campaign. Releasing this ad just hours after the Florida Court issued the ruling. Its called trust. President biden claiming donald trump would push for a nationwide abortion ban if hes reelected part of a 30 million Spring Ad Campaign targeting voters in swing states. The president also sending his hhs secretary, xavier becerra, to florida on tuesday to highlight the administrations commitment to Reproductive Health care. While President Biden has worked to expand access to health care, some places are restricting care taking away rights and freedoms to the care americans need. Former President Donald Trump hasnt spoken much about abortion on the campaign trail, but said he might support a nationwide ban at 15 weeks in miami. Danamarie mcnicholl, ktvu fox two news. Most adults nationwide are behind on at least one of their Cancer Screenings, and that is according to the prevent cancer foundation. Seven out of ten adults are behind on at least one routine Cancer Screening, and that means they could miss an opportunity to catch and treat the disease early. The reasons for the health lag varied by race. When we look at the Early Detection survey results, the top reasons cited for why people are not getting their Cancer Screenings is simply that they didnt know they needed to be screened. Hispanic adults cited inability to afford cost as a barrier to Cancer Screening in black adults, cited skepticism in the Health Care System as a barrier. So we know a one size fits all approach is not going to work when it comes to sharing information, we have to make sure to tailor the messaging to the people to address the concerns or barriers that they have. President joe biden has declared april the 1st National Cancer prevention and Early Detection month. An effort is underway to raise funds to send some much needed medical equipment and supplies from here in the bay area to west africa. The gear and supplies for people in need in cote divoire were loaded into a shipping container this morning in oakland, a Nonprofit Organization says it needs to raise 25,000 to ship them, though, and so theyve created a gofundme account.

So the demolition not expected to begin for months, ballys intends to build a new resort adjacent to the as new ballpark that is planned for that site. Angry and fed up. Outrage after a homeless woman was violently attacked in San Francisco. Details on this latest incident that happened in broad daylight and involved sex workers in the neighborhood. And a week after the key bridge collapsed in baltimore. The first vessel moves past the wreckage into the port sex worker and alleged sex worker was arrested for that attack, and ktvu zac sos talked with a resident who saw the whole thing and captured it all on video. She says many of the neighbors have already made several complaints to the city about prostitution. I suddenly heard shouting and swearing and really, like, sounded like a fight. The homeowner asked not to appear on camera, rushing to her window overlooking shotwell street early saturday evening and capturing this on her iphone. I saw them grab this woman by the hair, throw her to the ground, and the aggressor, an apparent sex worker attacking a homeless woman on the street in San Franciscos Mission District at around 5 00. And then at some point, she got up and kicked the woman right in the face. The homeowner calling police, who arrived and arrested a 24 year old woman from fairfield. The victim, taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries for neighbors, its just the latest incident involving prostitution on their block. What happened is not an accident, right before that, there was like one person who was attacked two days ago. This is just happened to be the one, but it was on tape. Neighbor iman farhat and other residents say the problem has only gotten worse since the city put up barriers to deter prostitution along nearby capp street, all the trade moved to shotwell. There are literal traffic jams from the sex trade thats going on here. Trevor chandler, a nearby resident and candidate for district nine supervisor, calling on the city to do more to address the problem. I fully support license plate readers. Its a common sense solution that has been provided to city hall. In a statement, the Mayors Office touting the success of recent Police Operations targeting prostitution in the area, adding that moving forward , quote, all options are on the table, including the strategic placement of Public Safety cameras, street and other physical environmental chang, and of course, increased enforcement as well. What weve heard is we dont have enough staffing. Its not a priority. So my feeling is at least manage it and move it to a nonresidential neighborhood. As for the victim in all this, neighbors say they have spoken to her that she is recovering, but that she is understandably still very traumatized by what happened in San Francisco. Zac sos, ktvu, fox two news. Well, the family of alexis gabe is hoping a new documentary airing later this month will help answer questions surrounding her death. Hundreds of volunteers spent weeks back in 2022 searching for the young woman from oakley. After more than a year of searching, some of gabes remains were found in amador county, but the contra costa District Attorney says the investigation into her death remains open. The da previously said she would consider bringing charges against the mother of gabes suspected killer if gabes remains were found. We may have come across evidence of aiding and abetting while reviewing the footage with antioch pd, and we are hoping that everything will be revealed in the documentary, our attorney believes that the airing of the documentary could assist our case, and which is why it is crucial for the network to broadcast it. Gabes exboyfriend, who is a suspect in her death, was shot and killed by police in washington after allegedly going at them with a knife. The family has been told. The episode, titled where is alexis . Gabe airs april 24th on discovery network. California workers who might have the right to disconnect from their duties during nonworking hours under proposed state law. Now, San Francisco Assembly Member matt haneys bill will give the employees the right to ignore communications from their boss when they are not working. The bill would require nonworking hours to be established by written agreement. It would also allow employees to file complaints with the labor commissioner. That would be punishable by a civil penalty. Happening today, executives of the Oakland Athletics will meet with oakland city leaders for a meeting that could determine the immediate future of the as here in the bay area. The city is expected to offer a five year lease extension to the as at the oakland coliseum. The as current lease expires at the end of the season. This new 97 million deal would give the as a temporary home in oakland. That figure is actually a huge rent increase, but would allow the as to remain at the coliseum y. While that new vegas stadium is being built. Oakland mayor shengtao released a statement saying, quote, i remain committed to doing everything in my power to keep the as in oakland. The terms we have proposed for a lease extension at the coliseum are clear, reasonable and achievable. Well, a few ships are now being allowed to use an alternate channel to avoid the wreckage from the deadly baltimore bridge collapse. This comes nearly a week after a cargo ship slammed into that bridge, causing part of it to collapse. As rebecca castor tells us, cleaning up the wreckage is going to be a lot more complicated than officials hoped. This tugboat pushing a barge carrying jet fuel was the first vessel to travel into the Baltimore Harbor since the deadly key bridge collapse last tuesday. Crews have opened an alternate channel for essential vessels to pass around the wreckage, but say reopening the route completely will take some time. We are talking about tons of steel. Were talking about water that is so murky and so filled with debris that divers cannot see any more than a foot or two in front of them. Crews are hoping to clear two other routes to the port of baltimore, a critical hub in the nations supply chain. As work at the bridge continues, memorials are going up around town, honoring the six lives lost. Its very hard for those people, you know, you go to work and you never know if youre going to come back. Some lawmakers are suggesting the owner and operator of the ship should be held liable. But in a federal court filing monday, the singapore based companies denied fault and argued any liability should be capped at 43 million. What this does is it stops all litigation, it consolidates it. In this one filing on friday , President Biden will meet with officials in baltimore on the response. At least 60 million in federal funding have been approved for the recovery and rebuilding of the bridge. So far. In washington, rebecca castor, ktvu, fox two news. Well, the family says their 80 year old mother suffered a stroke during a cruise and are blaming the cruise line for not contacting them about her illness. Julie lankow was on a Norwegian Cruise Line touring african countries when she suffered a stroke. She was taken to a hospital in the Central African country of sao tome, and was released 24 hours later, langhoffs daughter says by that time the cruise ship was gone. Some other american passengers who missed boarding the ship when they returned late from an excursion took care of her mother. They contacted her so she could fly her mother to the bay area, where she was taken to stanford medical center. Its really hard to experience that, that she was helpless, that she was alone and yet she made it. Her daughter says the cruise line should do a better job of notifying the passengers. Emergency contact when there is no problem when there is a problem. We reached out to Norwegian Cruise Lines, the company says they tried to call langhoffs several times, but were unable to reach her, saying, quote, in instances such as these, as the guest was released from the hospital and in a coherent state, our protocol is to contact the guest directly, as we would not have the authority to share any medical details with anyone else without their expressed consent. Well, with part of highway one collapsed into the ocean in big sur, the impact is being felt by both tourists and business owners. Three this one was all the way. Its gone. People wanting to visit the big sur coast are now being turned away because of that collapsed road near rocky creek, forcing that closure at highway one and Palo Colorado road. Business owners say beyond the closure, they are expecting this long slowdown of visitors. Our plans were to visit like every single point in big sur and starting in monterey, santa cruz and, you know, head home. But apparently we have to now go back. There will be immediate Economic Impacts that with each passing day will be greater and greater for our workforce and for our businesses. There is no set timeline for when that road is going to be reopened for traffic. For now, caltrans is operating a convoy twice a day, one at 8 a. M, another at 4 p. M.

A jetblue passenger asking why hes being ordered off his lax to Fort Lauderdale flight, where he says he had just taken his seat on the plane. Get prepared or put my earplugs in. I went to sleep. The video was sent to us by other passengers who say they had just sat down next to jermaine graves on the emergency exit row. They were asked by a Flight Attendant if they would be able to assist in case of an emergency. It was his turn to reply. He was a kind of sleeping with the earphones and then he put it off and replied yes. She woke me back up, told me im a need a verbal yes from you that youre willing to assist in the event of an emergency. Im like, yes, you are sitting on the emergency row. Im sitting on the emergency row. Im like, yes. Everybody said yes. You know what im saying . I put me back in. I went back to sleep. I was woke back up by a supervisor telling me i need to come get off the plane to get off it, because i did not comply. Thats correct. Yes, and i complied. Okay. So everybody here told you this. Okay. So whats the issue . The issue is that they want to explain why he said the police come here. Were going to were just going to ban you from flying on jetblue. You need to come off before they get here because, its going to be bad. Other passengers dont want their names publicized, fearing retribution from the attendant or airline because he didnt say yes or he didnt say yes. Loud, which is totally nonsense. But they were just about to call, lapd. Was that the issue . Correct or no plane . Everybody on this plane was not the issue we have to remove from there. Lets got the issue or not. Okay, you answer my question. Can you answer my question . No, no. I give you my reason why did he, at any point offer you another seat . If the problem was your response about the emergency exit, i thought that would be the result of somebody not physically able to assist in the event of an emergency. At most, you move their seat, not kick them off the plane. He says he left the flight voluntarily, was put on a much later flight to a different city. He had to drive from that city to Fort Lauderdale, get his luggage, and got home. Today. We have reached out to jetblue, have not heard back from them yet. Im Cristina Gonzalez at lax, fox news.
