James andre. Well, University Officials want to make sure that whats going on here behind me does not interrupt any of the final exams and the graduation ceremonies that are planned this week. And some of those Commencement Ceremonies happening just right next door from where were standing. This encampment, of course, doesnt look too much different than what weve seen at other College Campuses all throughout the country. The president also says hes receiving reports of harassment and discrimination against jewish students and faculty, and called that troubling. President Paul Fitzgerald says he met with student leaders monday morning for about three hours. They talked about what it would take to break the encampment down. And while they did agree to some terms, students here say the most they wanted out of the university was to publicly call the israeli action against palestine a genocide. President fitzgerald says that is up for academic experts to decide not he and his role. The university offered full amnesty for all students who have been part of this encampment since late april, something they deem a violation of student code. But thats only if they leave the area by 3 00 this afternoon. If not, the University Says they can expect consequences. Were not really completely sure what thats going to look like, you know . So that is giving a lot of students here anxiety, especially students that are high risk because this school is a private university, students are paying 70,000 a year to go here. This morning, the university offered a statement to ktvu, reading in part, quote, the university is continuing to prioritize communication and deescalation with the protesters. Our conversations have been shaped by the expectation that protesters recognize the need to balance Free Expression with safety and respectful dialog. Now, those protesters also tell me that theyve gotten a great deal of support, including a number of jewish students who have joined their cause. They say they are planning a rally here at 3 p. M.

They are coinciding it with the start of googles Developers Conference thats happening today. One of the organizations involved in this protest calls itself no tech for genocide. The group says it is focused on a Google Program called project nimbus, which it says is being used to target innocent civilians in the war in gaza. Since 2021, google and amazon have provided Cloud Computing service Artificial Intelligence and other Tech Services to the Israeli Government through project nimbus. We spoke with a former google employee taking part in the protest today on why he wanted to be here. What i wish is that google would serve as the leader in some ways, that it once was by, updating its policies and taking a stand about how their technologies can be used and how they cannot be used. And he said specifically in the context of Google Programs like google photos, which can be used to identify people and also project nimbus that we just mentioned. Now, last month, there were nine google workers who staged a sit in protest in the office of one of the executives overseeing the program. It lasted several hours before those workers were arrested. Another 40 or so google workers and contractors were also fired. After that. Sit in again back out here live. Youre looking at part of charleston park, the greenbelt, outside the shoreline amphitheater, which is right next to the google campus. Right now, at this point, you see just people talking to one another, but we are told that later in about an hour or so, we should start seeing people with signs and banners, protesting googles technology services, its Business Contracts with the Israeli Government, and specifically the project Nimbus Program that we mentioned.

His former lawyer michael cohen, returns to the witness stand for day 17 of the trial. Foxs eric shawn is in manhattan to bring us the latest in a show of solidarity. House Speaker Mike Johnson joining former President Trump when they arrived at his criminal trial in new york city. This is the fifth week that President Trump has been in court for this sham of a trial. They are doing this intentionally to keep him here and keep him off of the campaign trail. Trump is facing felony charges related to his alleged 2016 hush money payments to star stormy daniels, so she would keep quiet about their alleged affair and not affect the 2016 president ial election. They paid a lawyer a certain amount of money. We marked it down as legal expenses. Returning to the witness stand for a second day, michael cohen, trumps former lawyer and fixer. On monday, cohen testified for more than five hours, telling the jury that it was his former boss who directed him to make the payments to stormy daniels. I think that he has done a lot in terms of advancing the case, and i think if he maintains his cool and his the demeanor that we saw yesterday, i think he owns what he did. I think hes going to do just fine. Next, trump lawyer todd blanche will also have his chance to crossexamine the prosecutions key witness. But cohens credibility expected to be attacked given his past convictions for lying to congress, tax evasion and he served time in federal prison. Hes all over the map. Hes hes hard to pin down, but i dont think thats problematic for the defense because when he speaks, he usually, steps in it with the former president under a gag order. Hes enlisted some republican allies, house Speaker Mike Johnson and former president ial candidate vivek ramaswamy. Among those attending the trial in new york. Im eric shawn ktvu, fox two news.

A staff report notes complaints about outdoor tables taking up too much space, making it hard for people walking by. The council is aiming to clarify the rules for downtown brentwood about how businesses can set up their dining and create some new enforcement rules. I love an outdoor table or a parklet, as were supposed to call them, but i will say you spend one day with a wheelchair or a stroller and you will understand the need for space on that sidewalk as well. I certainly understand, but downtown brentwood is nice. You do want to get. Yeah. You want to get outside . Maybe. But i understand the balance between the two. You know what im ashamed to say . I dont think ive been to downtown and its growing. I was there a few weeks ago. Yeah, and its getting near opening brand new places. Its getting really, really nice down there.

There is a protest planned for today at googles flagship Developers Conference. The Group Organizing the action wants to call attention to googles Business Contracts with the Israeli Government, and the role of its technology in the war in gaza. Ktvu ali rasmus joins us live from the google campus in Mountain View, with much more on this story. Haley. Yeah, were at the intersection of amphitheater parkway and joaquin road, and behind us you can see and hear the protesters that we showed you earlier in that field. Theyve now moved to this intersection. They have a banner set up calling out and showing the emblem of google there. And they also have some palestinian flags and some of the signs that theyre holding in the back are supposed to represent cameras that are supposed to represent this program that theyre concerned about, called project nimbus. Well explain in just a second. But theyre having this protest here at this intersection, just as people are driving in and preparing to head into the google Developers Conference that is happening today, thousands of people from around the world are expected to attend googles flagship i o conference in person and online, an organization that calls itself no tech for apartheid, wants to draw attention to googles Business Contracts with the Israeli Government, particularly that project Nimbus Program we mentioned. That Program Provides Cloud Computing service and Artificial Intelligence technologies to the Israeli Government. The group here says by extension, the Israeli Military also benefits from it, and thats what they are concerned about. Heres what one former google employee who is taking part in the protest had to say about it. While these contracts are make giving the Israeli Government the opportunity to say that theyre fighting a smart war, really, theyre serving as additional cover for the killing of 35,000 people in palestine so far. Now, last month, nine google workers staged a sit in protest in the office of one of the executives overseeing the program. It lasted for several hours that sit in protest. It finally ended with the arrest of those nine workers. Another 40 or so google workers and contractors were also fired, because of that sit in protest, including some of the organizers of todays demonstration back out here live. You can see the group here of probably about 80 to 100 people taking part in this protest are now making their way down amphitheater parkway. That intersection is where they are likely headed. And again, thats where you see all these cars turning to turn into the google Developers Conference. Theres a lot of security. Once you get past that intersection. Its unclear whether the protesters will be able to go any farther beyond that intersection. But the conference is scheduled to start at 10 00 this morning. Live in Mountain View. Ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. San jose state has become the latest university where propalestinian protesters have set up an encampment against the war in gaza. A professor who is a faculty advisor for the protesters say they want the university to be more transparent about its Financial Investments and to fully divest from any investments connected to israel. The administration, though they send lots of emails about their concerns over wars or natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes, have yet to send one email out about the genocide that is happening against the palestinians. And were in our seventh month now. The University Says while it respects freedom of speech, its main priority is to keep the campus safe for learning. It also said the encampment violates school policy. San francisco leaders say work is underway to combat disinformation heading into the november election, but Officials Say more needs to be done. At a hearing yesterday, the city said its working with the california secretary of state and the office of elections cybersecurity throughout the election cycle. Now, the problem theyre seeing right now deciding what messaging is allowed and what is not under the first amendment, many types of election messages are protected. And i think getting a memo from the City Attorneys Office about the constitutional landscape that were operating here would be crucial. So we know what we can and cant do. And we dont waste our time, and we dont end up in court with the City Attorney having to spend a lot of time figuring it out. Then on the back end. The city says it has many safeguards at the ballot box as well. They say the Voting System is not connected to the internet system. Software is reinstalled and tested before every election, and manual tallies are taken after the election to compare against the results. On this giving day during mays aapi heritage month, we are highlighting the good work of an organization dedicated to amplifying the voices of those in the asian and Pacific Islander communities, not just here in the bay area, but nationwide. Aapi women lead examines Critical Issues of race , society, success and so much more. We welcome doctor connie wan, the organizations cofounder. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. You grew up here in oakland. I did, and now youre doing this important work here in oakland. But it spreads. Tell me what your main focus is all about. Sure. So thanks for having me. Of course. And then a couple of things is aapi women lead focuses on ending violence against asian and native hawaiian Pacific Islander communities led by women, girls, nonbinary communities. And for us, we expand the definition of violence, right . So weve done research and education around how violence for our anh, which is native hawaiian Pacific Islander communities, includes the Climate Crisis includes poverty, includes health disparities, includes the wars against our communities overseas and here so our work is to end all of those forms of violence against our communities. Lets back up a little bit. I think most of us, unfortunately, are familiar with the idea of intimate Partner Violence. We call that violence. Weve seen a huge spike in the number of racist incidents against members of the Aapi Community in recent years. We know thats violence. How do you fold things like the climate and other issues into that very big topic . Well theres two ways that we address it. One is that for our communities, we are asking for people to understand violence more expansively against us when they talk about racist acts. Right. We think of things as health disparities, as also racial right. There are Racial Health disparities, right . We think about things like the Climate Crisis also disproportionately impacting our communities in the pacific islands, in hawaii. Right. We see what happened recently exactly. So for us, that is also also a form of racial and gender violence, right . To the extent that most women girls are impacted by these forms of violence. And then on top of that, when these crises happen or when they are, constructed, we are the ones that are most vulnerable in those situations. So i think for us, we expand the definition of violence, and then we emphasize that in, interpersonal and intimate Partner Violence happens within those larger structures and experiences of violence. So if youre working with a community who is already extremely vulnerable, how do you get them to rise up, so theres two things. Again, one is that weve already always risen up. Right. So you had to. Yeah, exactly. Number one, you think about how did we actually get here to the united states, right. Which for us we understand is indigenous land. So for us, when we were in our homelands, we had to rise in order to get here or rise against some of the violence that was happening there, including the war in vietnam. Right the war in cambodia. Some of us who are native hawaiian think about how weve had to rise in terms of the colonization, the occupations currently of hawaii, right . Continuously rising. So it isnt that we were never risen. Its more that we have always been rising. And now we are asked and actually, we demand that others rise with us and acknowledge how long weve been rising, risen, fight ing, liberating ourselves and other community members. You have an incredible energy. I mean, you know, i, as a late 40s woman and feeling it, i imagine when you encounter those young girls, 12, 14, 17 year old girls, what do you hope to sort of infuse them with . So heres one. Im also in my late 40s, so were twins. Okay good, and that and that makes a stunningly beautiful, and then i also want to say our young people are already leading. Yeah. And i want us to continue to amplify their leadership and then also to be able to share with them our histories and our legacies of both knowledge and experience, so that we can build upon these generations. Right . So were not inspired, bring them, but to be inspired by them and then to share with them what it is that we know and the kind of experiences that weve had, both in terms of violence, but also in terms of resistance and power and leadership, so that we can build upon movements and then extend them and improve upon them and make them even more broadly, impactful. Right. Because our objective at, you know, aapi women lead, and i hope in all of our communities is to establish and create a different world when were violence isnt possible where were not victims or survivors of it, but we are the ones who are leading to create something entirely new. Growing up in oakland, did you have what you are yourself . You know, i grew up in oakland and other parts of the bay area, union city, hayward, and we were working class, poor working class. I was born in highland hospital. Id say what i was influenced by was not only my mother, who is a war of vietnam war refugee, my grandmother, who was also a vietnam war refugee. I think i built again on this legacy of my familys ability to survive a war in vietnam. Right. I think i learned from them. Great. Me, ive learned from my sister, whos the other cofounder. Shes younger than me. Thats what i mean by learning from our generations. Intergenic emotionally. And then i definitely, you know, i learned from a lot of black women, black feminists, latinas, as i learned from a lot of people from our communities. And then id also say i was privileged to learn from a Freedom Fighter by the name of yuri kochiyama. She was interned in japan, in or japan. She was a japanese internment survivor for. Interned here.

You know, i think that healdsburg had really become a foodie destination, but you grew up in the area. It wasnt always that way, right . No, i am, in fact, we called it hicks burg when i was growing up, which is far from that now. Its like more like bougie burg. But we i love the growth that its had because weve always had such incredible agriculture, which is part of what this Food Festival and Wine Festival is focusing on. So we have the wine, we have the food and we have, yeah, weve had it all. And now its become more and more known and more people are coming and its so exciting. I remember the first time i heard farm to table years ago, and now its just Standard Operating Procedure for a lot of folks. Like your restaurant. Right . And thats also, again, for us in Sonoma County, weve had were blessed with that bounty. So its just how we grew up and having these incredible farms and farmers like this is this is from one of our farms, front porch farms that we use all the time that this is just picked from them yesterday morning. Wow. So its just incredible. Yeah. And theres wine too. And theres all the wine. Yes. Some of the pairings youve designed for us here. So we have this beautiful Sauvignon Blanc from copeland. I was able to the meet the winemaker. Shes amazing. Shes going to be also at the events. Okay. So its great with our kale salad, which is one of our staples at kellys. And people who think they dont like kale actually get and just fall in love with this dish. I also have my handmade ten layer lasagna, so its all hand rolled, very thin pasta that melts in your mouth, and then that were pairing with the pinot noir with the pinot noir, but also we have to sneak in there, this amazing tequila. So were having a spicy, a little bit of a spicy margarita. I usually do it with cilantro, but i had basil. So were going to shake a little basil. Can we do that . Can you see the excitement in my face . Yes oh, its only what, 950 margarita 5 00 somewhere. Yeah. Thats right. So how do you make this . You have the shakers here. So. Yes. So we have the tequila in here. Then we also have lime. Basil. Ive got some ice. If you want to start shaking. I have sure that all set up and we can pour our glasses and this is really fun. So one of my great, bar manager at cartellis, rosy, came up with this. And we do our own housemade chili oil on top, which adds this whole other flavor. But one of our good chef friends, stephanie izard, whos also going to be in in town, i love her chili crunch. And so when i dont have my own homemade chili oil, ill use a little bit of this on top. And im going to put a little ice in there. And this just gives it a whole extra level. Do you like spicy . I do okay, good. Me too. Because thatll this will wake us up okay a little ice and. Yeah. Cheers can i get this . If i come to your restaurant. You sure can. Good. Okay cheers. Cheers. Start. Start there. And were going to get on to our wine. Wow yeah. Okay. Makes you feel like youre on the beach. Yep so the wines, this one is, my wife does happen to, like, the, this have to see. Okay, so when did sol blanc become such a big thing, when did sauv blanc . I mean, it seems as if, for a while, it was kind of a wine that not a lot of people drink. And now a lot of people love this one, i think. I think once people started learning the beauty of this wine, its it is so crisp and light. It pairs with so many different foods. You can its not just a first course. Its great with our salad, but you can take it into fish, you can take it into pastas, and i feel like its especially spring summer. It just brings all those type of dishes together and so enjoyable.
