And good morning im dave clark. Its wednesday april 24th right in the middle of the week. Gasia. Thats right. Today felt milder to me than yesterday. How do you feel . Good. But lots of clouds over here for sure. Thats a lot of low clouds. High clouds. And it is on the mild side here we get a south wind. So yesterday it was kind of the cool day. Will still be on the cool side, but with so much cloud cover here, maybe a sun break or two could do it. You might get in near 70. Kind of a tropical feel. I would expect Santa Clara Valley for that 50 though. On the temps a lot of cloud cover, low high clouds, more thunderstorms will erupt north and also probably near the sierra as well. But for us, just a cloud away and theres plenty of them to keep us on the cooler side here. Some drizzle, a little bit of a south breeze, 60s on the temps. All right. South here. I know were okay on the peninsula. Where are we starting this time. Yeah were going to go to san jose right now steve and i want to just show you that things are still doing very well. So this should make you happy to look at this grid where you dont see a lot going on on the commute in the Silicon Valley or on the peninsula, for that matter. I kind of like what i see there. There have been no major issues. We can also look at some of the other commutes, like the bay bridge. Thats pretty typical here. Its backed up to the maze and the metering lights around. When we come back, well take a look at some of the far east bay commutes, including contra costa county. 701. Happening today, Governor Newsom proposing a new way to help people in arizona get abortions here in california as arizonas neartotal abortion ban is about to begin in about a week. Ktvu Bailey Ocarroll in our newsroom with what the governor wants to do. Bailey garcia good morning. Governor gavin newsom wants the state of california to make it easier for doctors from arizona to come to california to perform abortions, according to politico. The governor would offer arizona abortion providers an expedited way of getting licensed here in california. Now, the move would require emergency legislation to pass because newsom wants that change to go into effect to may 1st. That is the same day that arizonas neartotal abortion ban is set to go into effect. Governor newsoms team said that they are working closely with arizonas democratic governor, katie hobbs, a strong stance on abortion and abortion care is nothing new for newsom. Its been a major focus of his. Hes run ads all across the country, specifically in states where abortion bans have gone into effect, like in the south, and theyve been paid for by his campaign for democracy pac. Yes, im going to need you to step out of the vehicle. Ill take a pregnancy test. Now, since roe versus wade was overturned nearly two years ago, a number of conservative states have started to limit access to the procedure, while other states like california have taken steps to protect those rights. According to the governor, people seeking reproductive care in the state of california is up 17 since roe versus wade was overturned almost two years ago. Now, according to politico today. Governor newsom also reportedly expected to announce 200 million towards Reproductive Health care funding. That money will go towards security at clinics, training for providers and transportation for patients. Back to you, bailey. Thank you. Today the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that could determine whether doctors can provide abortions to pregnant women who are having a medical emergency. The Justice Department has sued idaho over its abortion law, which allows a woman to get an abortion only when her life, not her health, is at risk. The question is whether idahos law conflicts with the federal law that protects patients who need emergency care. Our time now 704 parents in the east bay desperately trying to find out how their 15 year old daughter was found dead in San Francisco. And they say their questions have not been answered. Now, saturday morning, jasmine. Jasmine pellegrini of bay point was found dead. Her parents last saw her wednesday night. They say their daughter left the family home without a phone or without any money. She had been released from a Psychiatric Hospital just three hours earlier. How can we cope . We want we want answers. We want to know who was with her. We want to know how did she get to San Francisco . Her family says shed been struggling with Mental Health problems for years. They say they have no idea how she died, but theyre worried that someone may have lured her to the city and that she may have been drugged. The Alameda County district attorney, pamela price, doubled down on her stance that the das office is stronger under her leadership amid calls for her to be removed from office. I can tell you that in our office, we are Holding People accountable every day. We are charging people. We are prosecuting people. We are doing our part where its appropriate that they are entitled to diversion. Price discussed her vision for Public Safety during a virtual town hall. She said she ran on a progressive platform of reducing sentences for younger offenders, eliminating most sentencing enhancements and Holding Law Enforcement more accountable. Price rejects criticism that shes soft on crime. Were prosecuting people at the same level as my predecessor. And so this sense that people arent being held accountable, i think is more driven, by the slant of the way things are being portrayed in the media and presented often, sometimes on social media. Critics have gathered enough signatures to get a recall on the ballot. Our time now. 705 the Alameda County board of supervisors now has until tuesday to schedule an election date for a recall of pamela price, her critics, who formed the group save alameda for everyone, held this rally in oakland, right outside the county Administration Building. They accused supervisors of declining to begin the recall process at last weeks board meeting, we got the approved signatures. You have hundreds of thousands of people that want this on the ballot and want to constitutionally have her recalled, and we need that done as soon as possible. Now the group is projecting that the recall vote will likely take place sometime between late july and early september. New this morning, the Us Department of transportation has issued a final rule on Airline Flight cancellations and delays. The new rule requires airlines to promptly provide passengers with automatic refunds in the same manner the tickets were acquired when theyre due. The new rule requires airlines to give refunds when they cancel or significantly change a flight when checked bags are delayed, or when airlines fail to provide extra services purchased by passengers, the Transportation Department says. Previously, airlines set their own standards for when to issue a refund, meaning policies differed from airline to airline. Well, thousands of tesla workers in the bay area will likely be looking for new jobs. Tesla is eliminating some 6000 jobs in california and texas. About half of them are at tesla factories in fremont and palo alto. Last week, tesla announced it was laying off more than 10 of its 140,000 employees. Financial experts say that tesla also recently cut prices by 2,000 to increase sales. I do believe that there is the possibility that well see more layoffs because musk has announced that he wants to launch hot and heavy into, more Automated Production robotic factories, and probably a lot of ai in that as well. Layoffs are expected to start in june, but Tesla Ceo Elon musk says he has grand plans for tesla, wants to produce more Affordable Electric cars starting next year. Time now. 708a measure to build a new road for busses in palo alto is now headed to the november ballot. The goal to free up traffic Near University avenue. The proposed project would directly improve congestion and safety for all modes of transportation in this key regional gateway. Now, if that measure is approved, it would create a direct connection between Palo Alto Transit Center and el camino real. It would also require the city to carve out part of el camino park. Now, supporters hope it will help bus passengers in that area save some time. More than 23 million homes could lose Internet Access when a federal subsidy ends at the end of this month. The Affordable Connectivity Program will run out of money unless Congress Extends it. The Program Provides monthly subsidies of 30 to 75 to help low income families pay for Home Internet service. Supporters say that congress is known for months about the deadline, but has not moved on. President bidens 6 billion request to renew the program about 35 of californians receive subsidized internet. Time now is 709, and we do see some traffic. Thats beginning to bunch up in the typical areas. For example, at the bay bridge toll plaza. That is not unusual. And we promised you a look at the east bay. So lets get right to that. You can see that traffic on the 880 freeway, interstate 880 between hayward and union city is getting slow and 680 is also getting slower out of pleasanton, heading down toward the sunol grade southbound 680 from Pleasant Hill to walnut creek. Slowing. And weve had some slow traffic on highway four westbound. Thats not unusual, however. Eastbound theres a slowdown getting into antioch or just leaving pittsburg heading east. A brief slowdown there. 710 lets go back to the desk. Okay, sal. Well a failing grade for the bay area when it comes to air quality. Well tell you about a new report that names our region as one of the worst in the whole country when it comes to the air we breathe. Its encouraging to see some of his age that was so determined. That was just absolutely committed to service. A funeral planned for this friday for an Oakland Police officer who died nearly six years after an on duty crash. How is am years following an on duty car crash. Ktvu andre senior here now with how officer jordan wingates family is coping with his death. Well, gasia, good morning to you. That crash happened back in august of 2018 and as you can imagine, its been emotionally draining for his family. Praying for him and watching as he tried to hold on. Officer wingate was just 23 years of age at the time of the crash. He was headed to the port of oakland to investigate a report of suspicious persons in the area. He collided with a car which sent his patrol suv into a parked big rig truck. Wingate was rushed to Highland Hospital in Critical Condition. They said the likelihood of him surviving was very slim, but between the doctors and nurses, they just they kept them alive. His mom and i had to go, you know, pick out his casket and his gravesite. And, you know, these are things that parents, you know, you should be doing this for your parents and your parents shouldnt be doing it for you. Wingate came from a Law Enforcement family. His father is a retired Oakland Police captain who had the honor of pinning his badge at wingates Police Academy graduation. He was a valedictorian, and the ceremony occurred on his birthday. The most important part of being a cop by far is talking to people. I think that was probably his biggest accomplishment was, you know, was just he was a people person, you know, he just loved people. Officer wingate received numerous honors despite a brief Law Enforcement career. The Oakland Police Officers Association named him rookie of the year. Wingate is the 55th Oakland Police officer killed in the line of duty. His godfather was an Oakland Police detective, also killed in the line of duty by friendly fire. That happened back in 2001. Garcia, andre. Thank you. 715 here, officials in california are warning about counterfeit botox thats being used in our state and others. The cdc says there have been about two dozen recent cases of botulism across 11 states linked to this. At least two of the cases happened in california, including a woman in san diego. She bought the bad botox online. It resulted in headaches, weakness and blurred vision and then took it to a botox party, where it was injected by an unlicensed and untrained person. These are elective procedures , not something that anybody ever has to do. So you really want to do your homework, be a good consumer, ask a lot of questions. This is not a treatment that you need to be doing in someones bathroom. Only licensed physicians can buy botox legally, and it should only be administered by licensed professionals. The san diego woman suffered a mild case. Other victims, though, were hospitalized and even went on life support. Our time is now 716 new. This morning, a report says the bay area is not doing well when it comes to air quality. The annual state of the air report from the American Lung Association Just came out the bay area was in the top five regions in the whole country, with the highest year round pollution. Only bakersfield, visalia, fresno and eugene, oregon had worse air quality than the bay area. Well, some of that is from wildfires. The Lung Association says. Engines, wood burning stoves and other sources can give off those very unhealthy particles as well. A strange, unusual sight over a city in greece. The sky turned bright orange. Take a look at this video from athens, greece. Just look at your tv. An orange haze covered the city, caused by clouds of dust blown in from the sahara desert. And thats weird. Greek officials called it one of the worst episodes of dust and sand concentration to hit that country in years, and said the dust could be a risk for people with health problems. As you can imagine, the dust is expected to begin to clear today. Now that orange sky in greece may remind you here in the bay area of what happened about three and a half years ago, right here, when our skies turned orange, the orange skies we saw back on september 9th, 2020 wasnt caused by dust. It was from wildfire smoke. The similar to the dust it blocked most of the blues. Light from the sky, which made the air appear to be orange. Remember that like it was yesterday, we remembered that most of us were working from home. I remember when i saw mike mibach picture pop up sale. Youll understand this in like the preview that we had, i said. I told the director, tell him to turn his light on and they said his light is on. Theres just no light coming through the window, right . Yeah, i know it was kind of a weird day and not something i want to see again. Thats all right. Good morning everyone. You know what we do have traffic here on highway four. That is pretty busy. Just west of antioch through pittsburg. And getting over to concord, through bay point. Thats typical. Eastbound. Theres some slowing in pittsburg as you head out toward, antioch. Not that much, but a little bit. And right now we do see traffic at the bay bridge. Its backed up all the way out to the maze metering lights are on and the bridge traffic is ordinary. Weve seen a couple of things. Something just came in eastbound on 580 on the Richmond Bridge, some sort of, not sure what it is, but a vehicle, its a. Oh, here it is. Its a garbage can in the middle lane on the Richmond Bridge. So were going to see if that affects traffic. Its eastbound though the non commute direction 718. Lets go back to steve with todays weather. What i remember about that there were still golfers out there on the golf course. Seriously. Yeah i looked out there they were. And they get that 18in. They didnt care. Yeah and the street lights were on at one and two in the afternoon that i remember. All right. Yeah. We do have a lot of high clouds and low clouds over us skies. Orange dont care. Lets go out and play golf. All right, we had 18 holes that day under orange skies. Today we have a lot of gray skies. Why . Because we have low clouds and high clouds associated with that low which is heading into southern california. But theres actually two systems now. The flow around us coming up is sending in a lot of high clouds our direction. And here comes a system for late thursday for out of the northwest. Its april, right . Okay for the city, 63, 56, 63, 50 is average. So well above on the low and 85 the record in 1913, the 440 on the record low was not that long ago 2000 and also nine. But for the city temps they had one day where they popped up. That was sunday at 68. Its been 62, 68, 62 yesterday, 60. Today were going 63. So a little bit below average on those temps, 50 on the temps mid 50s for most 5455, 56 a little bit of a south southeast breeze. Look at that Half Moon Bay sfo hayward palo alto mountain mount thats associated with that upper low i just showed you. The next system though is not far away. Thunderstorm activity was just going bonkers. Northern Sacramento Valley, northeast california and near the sierra yesterday, especially about reno north. The low will give us a cool to mild pattern. I say mild because if you can get through the cloud cover, theres a lot of humidity that might give us a little bit of a tropical feel. But the big news will be on on friday. Cloudy and windy. Possibility of some light rain for us, but i would think its more towards Mendocino County, Sacramento Valley, northeast california. Look at truckee and south lake tahoe. Thats not just a sprinkle or two. Thats rain. Low and high clouds, mostly cloudy, lots of clouds, some drizzle this morning. Not a lot of reports, just a couple 60s on the temps. Im banking on maybe antioch and morgan hill kind of breaking through the cloud cover to briefly get to 70, all the way into friday does look a little better though over the weekend you guys.

Thank you for joining us. Welcome to mornings on two im dave clark. Im garcia mikaelian. Its wednesday, april 24th. Lets get outside a lot milder now than it was this time yesterday. Steve. That is correct. We have a little south wind, so were going from 53 san rafael and santa rosa to 59 at the hayward air terminal. We are under cloudy skies. Its either low clouds, high clouds. Theyre both settling in. Boy, this is a rarity. Everyones reporting cloudy skies and 50s on the temps here. Theres just a lot of cloud cover coming up from a low to the south of us. So a mix of those higher clouds. I think there will be more thunderstorm activity north and also east later today. Just a cloud away, but lots of clouds, maybe little drizzle out there. South breeze, mostly cloudy if you can get through the cloud deck, you might be on the mild to warm side with this kind of a tropical feel, but i went 60s for all today. All right, sal is here now. Bay bridge, toll plaza. Highway for what . Yeah all of them are going to be slow. Steve, you hit it right on the head. Of course. And thats a typical commute. The highway 80, interstate 80, i should say, at the toll plaza of the bay bridge, you will see some slow traffic at the toll plaza. We can put that up there. And you can see that it is backed up to the maze. Metering lights are on. There have been no major problems and that should make you happy for not having to deal with crashes. Now. San mateo bridge, westbound 92. There is a crash. Its just before the bridge. Or is it just after . Were trying to figure it out, but something is going on here and you might have some slow traffic from hayward heading west. 731 lets go back to the desk. Okay, sal. Thank you. Well, 170 million americans are on tiktok, making it one of the nations most popular social media apps. But the platform may stop existing here in the u. S. Next year under a bill that was passed just last night by congress. Ktvu allie rasmus is here now to explain how that bill would work and what tiktoks Parent Company says it will do in response. Good morning. Good morning dave. Well tiktoks Parent Company, bytedance, has satellite offices all over the world, including here in the bay area, but it is headquartered in beijing, china. And us lawmakers and National Security experts say that the company has very close ties with the Chinese Government to close, and thats why there was some bipartisan support among democrats and republicans in congress over the past week to pass this bill that could potentially ban tiktok in the us. The bill gives bytedance one year to sell tiktok to a nonChinese Company, and if it doesnt, the app would no longer be accessible to update or download on us phones after a year. Lawmakers say they are concerned that the Chinese Government has too much information and influence over tiktoks 170 million us users. Well, this bill is not a ban. Its about a divestment. And its not really about tiktok. Its about bytedance, the company that owns tiktok and is indisputably controlled by the Chinese Communist party. The main thing i feel is, is conflict. I feel conflicted because on one hand, ive built a brand on their my companys is able to work with a lot of big brands on there to help them get their message out. It really is a way to get messaging out that can be positive, but ultimately it needs to be sold to an american company, i think, so that we can at least have some regulation on it. The tiktok ban was attached to and passed as part of a larger bill to give foreign aid to ukraine. Israel and taiwan, and supporters say its no different than how the Chinese Government treats us social Media Companies. Facebook instagram and snapchat. None of them are allowed to operate in china. The one year deadline would go into effect as soon as President Biden signs this bill, and the white house says he is expected to sign it today. Tiktok has not made any official statements in response to all this yet. But in an internal memo to its employees earlier this week that was leaked to the news site the information, the companys head of policy says that they plan to challenge this ban. If it becomes this bill, if it becomes law rather on the grounds that it violates the first amendment. Live in san jose. Allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news okay, allie, thank you. And allie, just told you that same foreign aid package included billions of dollars in aid for ukraine and israel. Now, the us Senate Overwhelmingly passed the bill just days after the house did the same. The bill gives 61 billion to ukraine, 26 billion for israel and 8 billion for taiwan to counter threats from china. The aid for ukraine comes at a time that ukraine says it desperately needs new weapons to hold off attacks from russia. Not every day you can say you made the world truly a better place, but i think the senate can say that tonight. Now, President Biden told ukraines president the new air defense weapons will be on its way as soon as the legislation is passed. The president is expected to sign that bill later today. A group called save west portal is opposing proposed transit changes meant to improve safety in the neighborhood. The idea was in the works and is being prioritized now.

Our challenge is still occur at night. Crowds of people that are there selling, selling stolen property, selling narcotics. We have drug users all over. The reason why we wanted to stay open is because, you know, we have to make more money to pay rent to pay, bills like bga, you know, phone bills, internet bills. And we have employees. I have like four employees at nighttime when i have extra security because, you know, of the area. Mayor breed issued a statement.

Minneapolis did the best, with foot traffic up 45 in the last year. San francisco unfortunately, came in last place in the study, seeing a 21 decline in foot traffic over the past year. Well, the ftc is banning employers from using noncompete contracts to prevent workers from joining rival firms. The new federal rule will prevent companies in the us from enforcing most existing noncompete agreements and bans any new ones, the commission says. Noncompetes are a widespread and often exploitive practice that keeps wages low. The move is expected to face a challenge in the court from the us chamber of commerce. California Companies Already are prevented from using these clauses in employee contracts. We have an update on the financial problems of fisker, the electric car maker in southern california. The company , based in manhattan beach, has been on the verge of bankruptcy. Now new paperwork filed with the securities and exchange commission. Fisker announced it could file for bankruptcy within the next month if there is no infusion of cash.

And our next hour were going to show you foot lockers new plan for new stores. Im pam cook. Thats a look at your dollars and cents pam. Thank you. Well, many parents bemoan the hours their children spend playing video games. More hope that the love of video games will spur a new generation of game designers. One franchise capitalizing on this growing coding trend is called code. Ninjas has over 300 locations in the u. S, more than a dozen here in Northern California. Its programs teach aspiring coders how to design video games. Code lego robotics, and more. This is absolutely a growing trend. Parents want their kids to move beyond just being consumers of technology. They really want them to understand the technology and understand that they themselves can have an impact on the technology. They can create things with technology, organizers of the program say it also helps teach children what are called soft skills, things like collaboration and communication that can be used in every avenue of life. I think that sounds reasonable. Okay. All right. Sal, did you fix everything out on the roads yet . Well, were trying to, dave, thats for sure. Dave and garcia, we do have slower traffic now. The bay bridge may get better at 830, and you know that if you do this every day. So people, sometimes they do wait around for things to improve. The Richmond Bridge is very slow this morning. Weve had kind of an unusually slow backup. Doesnt look different here, but its just longer. It starts before it normally does and stretches all the way out to the middle of the span. Also, if you look at some of these other commutes, you will see that the south bay commute is now beginning to get filled in. For example, 85 two 8101. All of those commutes are busier. Its not unusual, but it is going to be a little bit slower. Now, if youre on 85 northbound and thats not a bad commute. Getting up to cupertino. 750 lets bring steve back in with todays weather. All right sal, thank you. A lot of cloud cover over us. Well start in San Francisco, which has had one day over average. That was sunday when you hit 68 degrees here. 62. Saturday 62 monday 60 yesterday. And going 63 for today. So the low, by the way though is 56 and the average is 50. So for one of the few times the low has been running above average, thats today a lot of 50s due to the cloud cover and a southerly breeze south of livermore, southeast hayward hayward, sitting at 59. Thats the warmest around here. Look at all the thunderstorm activity from yesterday. And Mendocino County, northern Mendocino County, Sacramento Valley and then up towards shasta, lassen, northeast california along the sierra. But about reno north, i would expect a repeat performance today. Two systems. One is the upper low just to the west of la. Thats spinning in some high clouds for us. Theres another system coming down from the northwest, so the one low goes through that gave us the big ramp up on the fog, the wind, the cool temps yesterday, a lot of high and mid level clouds. Thats next. System sweeping that will be a cold front. So cloudy, windy and possibility of some rain for us. More likely though, it would be north and east of ukiah. A 10th of an inch reading 2 10. Look at susanville, truckee and south lake tahoe. That would be rain, probably snow would be around 7500ft, maybe 7000. But if you have travel plans thursday night, friday, and includes those areas, i would keep an eye on things here. A little bit of drizzle this morning. Mainly cloudy, mostly cloudy. Lots of clouds today, 60s to near 70 if you can get through the cloud cover kind of a muggy feel. Theres a lot of, you know, coming up from the south that would do it. Not much change through friday does look better on the weekend though. Steve thank you. Just over 24 hours to go here until the nfl draft. The final preparations in detroit for the big draft day party, then a proposal to change how those clear lanes at Airport Security work is moving forward with the california lawmakers who are making the decision have to say about the plan bay area, still remembering and celebrating the life and legacy of San Franciscos reverend cecil williams, the longtime pastor of glide memorial church, died monday at the age of 94. We talked to willie brown, the former San Francisco mayor, who was a longtime friend of reverend williams, who said cecil williams, spirit of generosity and service came with a gift for delivering his message with a sense of joy and community. See cecils method of doing what he was doing made it impossible for anybody to turn him down, no matter how rich they were or how poor they were, because when they would participate in what cecil was about, it really was the incredible generosity of a human being who did so without questioning whether or not you understood what the was occurring. Cecil willie brown also said he expects glide to continue to be strong with the influence of reverend williams to guide it. It is 756 a vote recount in the race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo in district 16 continues today. The original vote count had former san jose mayor sam liccardo leading with Assembly Member evan lowe and Santa Clara County supervisor joe simitian tied for second place. The vote recount could break the tie, which would result in two names advancing to the general election instead of three. There are always ballots that are set aside because something cant be verified, and now, with the recount, were going back and looking at all of those. If the recount drops someone off the ballot, no reimbursement because its not the same as adding a new person to the ballot based on the results of the recount. Now, Officials Say the vote recount could wrap up on friday at which point they would certify the results and then send it to the secretary of state for approval. Well testimony continues in the historic criminal trial of former president donald trump. Yesterday, the former publisher of the National Enquirer took the witness stand, describing how he helped trump bury negative news stories. David pecker specifically testified meeting with the then republican president ial candidate in 2015, asking how his publication could help trumps campaign. Experts say more witnesses will take the witness stand, but its not clear right now if donald trump himself will be one of them. Legally, i think trump would be much better off relying on the weakness of braggs case. But politically, its going to be consequential if he doesnt take the stand because theyll say he took the fifth. Now yesterday, court began with a hearing on whether donald trump violated his gag order by making statements on social media. The judge hasnt ruled yet on it. Testimony resumes tomorrow. Well, a first of its kind, bill has passed in the Senate Transportation committee. The new law would address concerns about expedited airport Screening Services that let travelers pay to cut through those tsa lines. The committee passed the bill in a 8 to 4 vote. It would require Fast Track Services like clear to pay for its own tsa staffed lanes at Airport Security. If the identity Screening Companies dont comply, theyll be banned from the state. Theres been lots of incidents over the last couple of years where, you know, were unauthorized. Travelers have use clear as a way of breaching tsa security. Now supporters of clear say the service creates hundreds of jobs and serves more than a million americans and shares more than 13 billion in annual revenue with airport partners. This bill now moves forward to the Senate Appropriations committee. Time now just about 759. Tickets go on sale later this morning for this years outside lands festival in Golden Gate Park.

Well, good morning, governor gavin newsom wants to make it easier for people in arizona to get an abortion. But his efforts are not aimed at women who live in the state where there is a neartotal ban. His new idea is aimed at doctors who want to perform the procedure. Plus we are asking for people to, if they see anything. You know, we put out everywhere. A San Francisco teenager found dead and the family searching for answers, telling us something does not add up. Then i believe, a attempt of tesla to get better. But i dont think that weve seen the last of it. Tesla announcing several thousand job layoffs, some of which will impact the bay area. While analysts think there more could be on the way from ktvu. Fox two news this is mornings on two. Welcome to mornings on two at 8 00, live from our sutro camera toward alcatraz and some of San Francisco. Right there in the distance, you can see once again overcast skies this morning. Thank you so much for joining us. Im andre senior. Good morning im Gasia Mikaelian. Its a milder wednesday, april 24th compared to what we had yesterday Steve Paulson, tell us where the trend is headed. Trend is headed towards a cool pattern here. Even cooler as we head towards the end of the week. It looks like you guys a lot of 50s here. A combination of low clouds, high clouds, higher clouds are coming in from the south. Everyone is under cloudy skies, at least on the reporting station and 50s on the temps. So maybe not as cool as yesterday. Its on the more mild side for some hayward sitting at 59 degrees with a south wind and a little bit of that cloud cover. So its just a cloud away. But theres a lot of them out there. And look for a little bit of drizzle here in the morning. Cloudy to mostly cloudy today, maybe a few sun breaks. But if you get the sun breaks you might bump up to the upper 60s to near 70. But another day on the cool side. All right. Sals here. 801. Where are we heading . South. Yeah. Lets go actually, to highway four. Steve, in some of these commutes, well have you happy. Some not highway four, its my. My daughter likes to say mid. Its not great, but not too bad. Highway four. As you drive over to the willow pass grade and concord side, if you are driving over to the east bay to the bay bridge, you will see the traffic here is backed up all the way out to the maze. Metering lights are on and the san mateo bridge has recovered after some earlier issues. Although we still have some slowing from hayward to the toll plaza area 801. Lets go back to the headlines. Well, happening today, Governor Newsom is proposing a new way to help people in arizona get abortions in california, as arizonas near total abortion ban is about to begin in about a week from now. Ktvu Bailey Ocarroll is in the newsroom with what the governor wants to do now. Bailey. Hey andre. Good morning. Governor gavin newsom wants the state of california to make it easier for doctors from arizona to come here to california to perform abortions. The governor would offer arizona abortion providers an expedited way of getting licensed here in california. Now, the move would require emergency legislation to pass because newsom wants the change in effect come may 1st. That is the same day that arizonas neartotal abortion ban is set to go into effect. Now newsom will announce the bill today, the Governors Team said they are working closely with arizonas democratic governor, katie hobbs, a strong stance on abortion and abortion care is really nothing new for newsom. Its been a major focus of his. Hes run ads all across the country, specifically in states where abortion bans have gone into effect, like in the south, and they are being paid for by his campaign for democracy pac. Mass, im going to need you to step out of the vehicle, take a pregnancy test. Since roe versus wade was overturned nearly two years ago, a number of conservative states have started to limit access to the procedure, while other states like california have taken steps to protect those rights, according to the governor, people seeking reproductive care in the state is up 17 since roe versus wade was overturned about two years ago. Now, according to politico. Governor newsom will also reportedly be allocating 200 million towards Reproductive Health care. The money will go towards security at clinics, training for providers and transportation for parents or patients rather. Back to you, bailey. Thank you. Today the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that could determine whether doctors can provide abortions to pregnant women who are having a medical emergency. The Justice Department has sued idaho over its abortion law, which allows a woman to get an abortion only when her life, not her health, is at risk. The question is whether idahos law conflicts with the federal law that protects patients who need emergency care. Parents of the east bay teen who parents are desperately trying to find out more information about how their 15 year old daughter turned up dead in San Francisco. They say their questions have been left unanswered. On saturday morning, jasmine pellegrini of bay point was found dead. Her parents last saw her on wednesday night. They say their daughter left their family home with no phone or money. She had been released from a Psychiatric Hospital just three hours earlier. How can we call . We want, we want answers. We want to know who was with her. We want to know how did she get to San Francisco . The family says she had been struggling with her Mental Health for years. They say they have no idea how she died, but are concerned that someone may have lured her into the city and that she may have been drugged. Alameda County District attorney pamela price doubled down on her stance that the das office is stronger under her leadership, amid calls for her to be removed from office. I can tell you that in our office, we are Holding People accountable every day. We are charging people. We are prosecuting people. We are doing our part where its appropriate that they are entitled to diversion. Da price discussed her vision for Public Safety during a virtual town hall. She said she ran and won on a progressive platform of reducing sentences for younger offenders, eliminating most sentencing enhancements and Holding Law Enforcement more accountable. Da price rejects the criticism that she is soft on crime. Were prosecuting people at the same level as my predecessor, and so this sense that people arent being held accountable, i think is more driven, by the slant of the way things are being portrayed in the media and presented often, sometimes on social media. Critics have gathered enough signatures to get a recall on the ballot. Meantime, the Alameda County board of supervisors has until next tuesday to schedule an election date for recall of da price. Her critics, who formed the group save alameda for everyone, held a rally in oakland outside the county Administration Building at last weeks board meeting. They accused supervisors of declining to start the recall process. We got the approved signatures. You have hundreds of thousands of people that want this on the ballot and want to constitutionally have her recalled, and we need that done as soon as possible. The Group Projects the recall vote will likely take place sometime between late july and early september. New this morning, the Us Department of transportation has issued a final rule on Airline Flight cancellations and delays. The new rule requires airlines to promptly provide passengers with automatic refunds in the same manner the tickets were acquired when theyre due. The new rule requires airlines to give refunds when they cancel or significantly change flights when checked bags are delayed, or when airlines fail to provide extra services purchased by passengers. The Transportation Department says. Previously, airlines set their own standards for when to issue a refund, meaning policies differed from airline to airline. Thousands of tesla workers in the bay area will be looking for new jobs, as tesla is eliminating some 6000 positions in california and texas. About half of them are at tesla factories in fremont and palo alto. Last week, tesla announced it was laying off more than 10 of its 140,000 employees. Financial experts say that tesla also recently cut prices by 2,000 on its vehicles , in an effort to increase sales. I do believe that there is the possibility that well see more layoffs, because musk has announced that he wants to launch hot and heavy into, more Automated Production robotic factories. Probably a lot of ai in that as well. Layoffs are expected to start in june. Analysts say growing competition in the electric Vehicle Market and cooling demand for evs are among the factors that led to teslas move. A measure to build a new road for busses in palo alto is headed to the november ballot. The goal to free up traffic Near University avenue. The proposed project would directly improve congestion and safety for all modes of transportation in this key regional gateway. If the measure is approved, it would create a direct connection between Palo Alto Transit Center and el camino real. It would also require the city to carve out a portion of el camino park. Proponents hope it will help bus passengers in the area save time. More than 23 million homes could lose Internet Access when a federal subsidy ends at the end of this month. The Affordable Connectivity Program will run out of money unless Congress Extends it. The Program Provides monthly subsidies of 30 to 75 to help low income families pay for Home Internet service. Supporters say that congress is known for months about the deadline, but has not moved on. President bidens 6 billion request to renew the program. About 35 of californians receive a subsidized internet at 809, a gas station on the peninsula, getting attention for its high gas prices at the chevron station in alameda de las pulgas in menlo park, gas prices hit more than 7 a gallon over the weekend, according to gasbuddy. Thats the highest price in the bay area. The average price for gas in San Mateo County is 5. 60, according to triple a time is 809. And if youre looking to save on that gas money. Stop and go traffic is what absolutely kills your gas mileage. This is a look at 80 westbound coming out. Its still crowded, so if you want to adjust your commute times to go when theres not much of a crowd, you have to wait a little bit. Highway four is still very slow from pittsburg to bay point, and we still have a bigger slowdown at the bay bridge, sometimes about 830 or 845. We have a much improved commute, and well let you know if that happens. 809 lets get back to the desk. Well, a failing grade for the bay area when it comes to air quality. The new report that names our region as one of the worst in the country. Plus, its encouraging to see some of his age that was so determined. That was just absolutely committed to service. The funeral planned for this friday for an Oakland Police officer who was severely injured nearly six years ago in an on duty crash. How his family says hell be rememb officer who has passed away after almost six years on life support. Officer jordan wingate was just 23 years of age at the time of the crash back in 2018. He was headed to the port of oakland to investigate a report of a suspicious person in the area. He collided with a car which sent his patrol suv into a parked big rig truck. Wingate was rushed to Highland Hospital in Critical Condition. They said the likelihood of him surviving was very slim, but between the doctors and nurses, they just they kept them alive. His mom and i had to go, you know, pick out his casket and his gravesite. And, you know, these are things that parents, you know, you should be doing this for your parents, and your parents shouldnt be doing it for you. Wingate came from a Law Enforcement family. His father, a retired Oakland Police captain, had the honor of pinning his badge at wingates Police Academy graduation. He was valedictorian, and the ceremony occurred on his birthday. The most important part of being a cop by far is talking to people. I think that was probably his biggest accomplishment was, you know, was just he was a people person, you know, he just loved people. Officer wingate received numerous honors despite a brief Law Enforcement career. The Oakland Police Officers Association named him rookie of the year. He is the 55th Oakland Police officer killed in the line of duty. Officials in california are warning about counterfeit botox. Thats being used in our state and others. The cdc says there have been about two dozen recent cases of botulism across 11 states. At least two of the cases happened in california, including a woman in san diego. She bought the bad botox online. It resulted in headaches, weakness and blurred vision and then took it to a botox party, where it was injected by an unlicensed and untrained person. These are elective procedures is not something that anybody ever has to do. So you really want to do your homework, be a good consumer, ask a lot of questions. This is not a treatment that you need to be doing in someones bathroom. Only licensed physicians can buy botox legally, and it should only be administered by licensed professional. The san diego woman suffered a mild case, but other victims were hospitalized and went on life support. New this morning, one of College Footballs greatest running backs is getting his Heisman Trophy back. The Heisman Trust returned the coveted award back to former usc star reggie bush. The trust says the decision comes amid enormous changes in the College Football landscape. In 2010, bush forfeited his heisman in the wake of a scandal at usc that included claims he received improper benefits during his college career. Were just one day away from the nfl draft night, and the league is putting the finishing touches on the big stage in downtown detroit. The venue is about a year and a half in the making. The goal is for draft night to look great in person and for people who watch at home. As many as 400,000 people are expected to be in detroit this week for the draft. The team behind the event says the stage is a product of the nfl, as well as people from around detroit. We went around to many different groups around the city and made sure that everybody had a perspective in the decor and then we took it back to our very talented team, who wrote a brief and sort of brought it to life. The first round of the nfl draft starts tomorrow at 5 p. M, almost half of the 32 picks are expected to attend the draft in person. The niners first selection is pick number 31. All right. Time now is 816. Sal is keeping an eye on the roads this morning. Sal, what do you got for us . Yeah, we have slowing as we usually do. Andre and garcia at the bay bridge for example. You will see traffic is backed up all the way out to the maze. Today, its looking unlikely it will clear up by 830, but maybe 845. Well see some clearing. Well see. Some days it just doesnt happen until after nine. As you look at 880, it is pretty slow from 238 all the way down to stevenson. No crashes to report there. Its just going to be slow. And the south bay commute is still moderately heavy on the way to the valley. Again, its looking like a very typical day, which is to say a typical wednesday with a lot of slow traffic. 817 what about todays weather . Heres steve, its a good question. Thank you sir. All right. Well take a look at the visible satellite because for this time of year, amazing amount of cloud cover here. Not only low clouds but higher clouds coming in. I mean, take your pick. Everyones saying cloudy now. Theres always a few breaks in the cloud cover, but for most locations, those are few and far between. Unless youre over some of the higher elevations. A few little lines of sun out there, but it is a significant cloud deck for San Francisco and 63 today. Just because there were only 60 yesterday. A little bit more of a south breeze today, 56 low, which is well above the 63, is right where they should be. 85 the record high in 1913 and 40 not that long ago. 2009 on the record low. San franciscos only had one day above average going back to the past five. That was sunday, when they rocketed up to 68 degrees. But saturday and monday were 62. Yesterday was 60, going 63 today. The upper low that is to the west southwest of us, its more towards l. A, is pumping in some high and midlevel clouds that opened the door to the significant cooldown and the rapid increase in the low cloud deck, which did not burn off for some yesterday at all. This is a cool pattern for us going all the way into friday 50s on the temps. The 57 poplar hayward is in there. San carlos, mountain view, san jose, livermore napa airport and everyone else is pretty close. Theres another system coming in from the north. Look at all the activity though. Yesterday from the thunderstorms. Northern Sacramento Valley, northeast california and along the sierra, but mainly from about reno north or on the lee side. But one system, the one to the south, will be into our weather today with cloud cover, then the next ones coming in from the northwest. That one is going to usher in a pretty good wind event is the way its looking. If everything continues to come in a lot of high and low clouds today. Cloudy, windy, maybe some light rain for us. More likely though, over the mountains and also norton, Mendocino County up towards redding, north northeast california, truckee south lake tahoe. Could be some pretty good rain showers there. And ill show you this a future cast we call and always like to show these, but its the european model and its i think its pretty good here. And thats the one im basing it on. Look it to the north and also over the sierra. Then watch for us on friday. Look at that starting to come in 4 a. M. And then heres four right there. Noon. Thats our best bet with snow up in the mountains. Thatd be above probably around 6500ft. Low and high clouds, mostly cloudy, a lot of cloud cover today. Cool to mild temps if you can get some sun breaks. May not be too bad. 60s for most a few near 70. Higher humidity though, so it might feel a little tropical if you get that sun. Not a lot of change until the weekend when it does look a little better. Steve. Thank you. 820 now a new plan to crack down on crime in San Francisco. Why some residents arent so sure about a proposed curfew meant to help the tenderloin and the avian flu has prompted new concern about a grocery item that Many Americans have in their homes right now. you made a cow actually its a piggy bank.

We all need to step up and do something. The owner thought about moving again, but says its not that simple. He has many things to consider, including getting stuck in a lease. New this morning. A new report details how the bay areas air quality compares with that of other regions nationwide. The annual state of the air report from the American Lung association is out this morning. The bay area was in the top five regions nationwide, with the highest year round pollution. Only bakersfield, visalia, fresno and eugene, oregon had air quality that was worse than the bay areas. Well, some of that is from wildfires. The Lung Association says. Engines, wood burning stoves and other sources can give off unhealthy particles as well. Now to an unusual sight in the sky over athens, greece. An orange haze covered that city was caused by clouds of dust blown in from the sahara desert. Greek officials called it one of the worst episodes of dust and sand concentration to hit the country in years, and said the dust could pose a risk for people with health issues. The dust is expected to start clearing today. Thats seeing similar to what we saw here in the bay area back in september of 2020 during the Northern California wildfires. Similar to the dust, wildfire smoke blocked out much of the blue light from the sky, making the air in the bay area appear orange. The fda says it found traces of h5n1 bird flu in milk from Grocery Stores sold around the country, but Officials Say pasteurized milk is still safe to drink. The pasteurization process kills harmful bacteria and viruses, and dairy products. The agency is also investigating a recent bird flu outbreak among cattle. Its been detected in more than 30 dairy herds, dairy herds in eight states. The fda says the milk from the sick cows is being diverted or destroyed. A medical robot developed in Silicon Valley is being used to help fight lung cancer. The Sunnyvale Company Intuitive Surgical created a robot which helps doctors diagnose lung cancer faster and more safely than previous methods. Early detection is key to beating cancer, doctors say, delaying care and treatment by just six weeks can reduce a persons survival rate by 13. The robot, along with ct scans, help doctors perform a procedure that allows them to see a patients lungs and detect cancerous nodules. This allows us to one get to the nodules that radiology could not otherwise get to two biopsy nodules from the inside, which which has a much lower risk of lung collapse. Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in this country, killing 125,000 americans every year. Well, coming up, the new program trying to make learning to write computer code fun for kids, San Franciscos postpandemic recovery has hit a snag. What new data show about how the Downtown District stacks up against activity in dozens of other regions nationwide and what has to happen before then. Then the community is rallying around a man who was working seven days a week to provide for his family. What happened in a hit and run crash in San Francisco that left him with life threatening injuries, and what coworkers say about helping him. From ktvu, fox two news. This is mornings on two. Good morning and welcome back. Im Gasia Mikaelian im andre senior. Thank you for joining us. Today is wednesday, april 24th. Weve got some Cool Temperatures that were dealing with. I know you like the warmer temperature, but its a little you know the bay area. So its only temporary. Yeah its only temporary steve boston here. Now more on that for us. This is Pretty Amazing i remember sunday, monday were nice warm. We had some 80s inland but by their gone were under cloudy skies. Its a low cloud deck. Its fog. Its a high cloud deck and 50s on the temps. And i mean i just theres not going to be many breaks if you get one. It probably will be on borrowed time. I dont think itll last very long. Not only low clouds but higher clouds coming in from a low which is heading towards central and southern california. So just a cloud away. And ill tell you, thats a lot of clouds out there. We will have a cool to mild conditions if you can get the sun. Maybe it might be on the mild side, but most locations are running well below average except near the coast. All righty. Sounds here. Weve been south, weve been east. Weve been the bay bridge. This time we are going where were going back to the bay bridge. I want to see steve. If its going to improve. And if were going to be happy by 9 00, well see. Right now, it still looks pretty busy. I dont see any sign of improvement. I look at the top there. Its because of an earlier stalled vehicle on the bridge that weve been set back. So maybe 915 will be the target instead of 845 today. Again, because of that earlier stall thats been pushed off the bridge, san mateo bridge, dumbarton bridge, recovering from some things here. But for the most part getting okay northbound 880. By the way, coming out of 238, getting up to san leandro, there was a crash right near marina. They may have moved it to the side, but as i like to say, the damage is done. Its slow traffic. There 830 lets get back to the desk. Thank you. Sal. Tiktok users in the us may have to find another social media site to communicate their thoughts, and in some cases, make a living as soon as next year. Congress passed a bill last night that includes a possible ban on tiktok. Katy ali rasmus live now to explain what this means, ali. Yes, Congress Passed that bill last night and just in the last half hour, President Biden signed that bill into law. It was part of a larger bill that the president signed with directing aid to ukraine and taiwan and israel. But theres 170 million americans that are on tiktok. And last night, the Senate Approved a bill that would give bytedance, the Parent Company of tiktok, one year to sell to a nonChinese Company. And if it does not, tiktok would no longer be accessible to update or download on us phones. And again, the president signed that bill into law this morning. So why did both republicans and democrats support and pass this potential ban . Bytedance is a Chinese Company headquartered in beijing, and us lawmakers and Security Experts say the company has close ties to the Chinese Government. They worry about that Foreign Government having too much information and influence over tiktoks millions of us users. The fear here is okay, so this data is available and the Chinese Government can have access tot. The worst Case Scenario is we have election years coming and we have elections, you know, you know, going on. So a deepfake video, you know, a fabricated picture for some that will spread like fire in tiktok and that could have an impact. I dont think that it should be banned, but i think that there should be some restrictions put on it to make it safer to use, for our youth. I think that if its used properly, it could be such an amazing educational tool. Now again, this tiktok ban was passed as part of a larger bill to give foreign aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan that President Biden did sign into law just in the last half hour this morning. And supporters of the ban and the potential ban say its no different than how the Chinese Government treats us. Social Media Companies facebook, instagram and x they arent allowed to operate in china. Now. Tiktok hasnt made any official statements in response to all of this just yet. We are awaiting to hear from that. But in an internal memo sent to employees earlier this week, facebooks or excuse me, bytedance and tiktoks us executives say that they plan to challenge this law in court on the grounds that it violates the us first amendment. Live in san jose. Allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news and that same foreign aid package included billions of dollars in aid for ukraine and israel. The us Senate Overwhelmingly passed the bill just days after the house did the same. The bill gives 61 billion to ukraine, 26 billion for israel and 8 billion for taiwan to counter threats from china. The aid from ukraine comes at a time the country says it desperately needs new firepower to hold off russian attacks. Not every day you can say you made the world truly a better place, but i think the senate can say that tonight. President biden told ukraines president that the new air defense weaponry will be on its way as soon as the legislation is passed. President biden is expected to sign that bill later today.

At 835, we told you that San Francisco mayor london breed wants to put forward a proposal to force some shops in the tenderloin to close after midnight, with the ultimate goal to reduce crime and open air drug markets. Ktvu Christien Kafton now has more this morning from those. Such a move would impact when it comes to street conditions in the tenderloin. San Francisco Police say theyve made a lot of progress, particularly in the daylight hours. But when night falls, police say they still have a lot of work to do, and that Illicit Activity often centers around businesses that operate overnight. Now the Mayors Office is introducing new legislation that would close businesses that sell prepackaged food or Tobacco Products from midnight to 5 a. M, police say they back the plan. Our challenge is still occur at night. Crowds of people that are there selling, selling, stolen property, selling narcotics. We have drug users all over. And what the problem is, is that when you have businesses that are open, like Liquor Stores and smoke shops, it just attracts more people. The Mayors Office says the idea has a lot of grassroots support from residents and neighbors. Tim benson is a manager at angelinas restaurant in the tenderloin. Restaurants operate late into the evening, and he says sometimes customers or workers feel threatened. He says he hopes that the city could step in and help businesses that have their hours cut.

Dpw has been out helping the cleanup effort, but it seems to be mostly a daytime issue. And at nighttime, its sort of a still. The wild, wild west plaza snacks and deli opened last year and operates 24 over seven. The man behind the counter didnt want his name or face used, but said that the business doesnt sell alcohol or tobacco and serves an Important Role in the neighborhood as one of the few locations to buy nutritious food. He says costs to operate the business are high, so he has to keep the doors open 24 hours. The new legislation, he said, would hurt his business. The reason why we wanted to stay open is because, you know, we have to make more money to pay rent, to pay, bills like pg and e, you know, phone bills, internet bills. And we have employees. I have like four employees at night time when i have extra security because, you know, of the area, some San Francisco residents say closing the shops wont make much of a difference in the end. I dont think its going to work at all because people are still homeless and theyre still out here all night long, so the markets dont really have anything to do with the crime. If the board of supervisors approves the new legislation, the new hours would not be enforced by police other than issuing warnings. Any business that violates the proposed new hours would be fined up to 1,000 by the department of health. Police, though, would be the eyes and ears on the streets to see if, in fact, businesses are complying. In San Francisco, Christien Kafton ktvu fox two news.
