Were going to hear more about the weather in just a bit. Theres a new study thats shedding light onto the health of those who work. The overnight shift evidence shows the brain never fully adjusts to waking up during those hours. Researchers from Washington StateUniversity Say overnight shifts can throw off our internal rhythms and put stress on the body. The study found that after working just three days of overnight shifts, the proteins that regulate blood glucose are disrupted. Researchers found that overnight shifts also increase the risk of diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Many professionals who work during the middle of the night like nurses, doctors and policemen and people on tv say they feel the effects of working overnight. Welcome to the nine, you know, i know that, we all do it here, but as garcia and i were talking about, there are also benefits. So you have to consider that, too. Yeah. There was a time in my life i thought, i will never work mornings. Never, never, never. And that turned into. I would love to work mornings. Yes thank you for the opportunity. So its like the sleep thing is hard. Look on your face, right . Are you tired today . Yeah. Were tired every day. Yeah particularly tired today for some reason. Yeah, yeah, sometimes its hard to catch up. Yeah. But i will say what we do, i will say we have a team of producers and writers and editors who like legit work overnight. Our earliest morning producer, she comes in before the ten and 11 00 news is over. So thats straight up overnight. We get to work early mornings, right . Right. So i was an overnight board up in radio 100 years ago in san diego. My shift was like midnight to four at that point. I was so young. I was thrilled to do it. I didnt know that i could do that now. Well, i mean, 20 something years ago, when i first started, i was a producer working. So, you know, get in at 11 00, right . You know, and worked for like 8 00 overnight. Yeah yeah. It was completely opposite. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But i was younger back then. I was to the case now. No were grateful for what we have. So yes we are i still am for sure. All right. New this morning an annual education trip from the south bay to the capital. This is the 21st year of the event. More than 200 students, parents, teachers and elected leaders and other Community Members loaded into busses at san jose state. Theyre heading to sacramento to meet with state legislators to talk about education policy and school funding. This is an opportunity they can be a part of. And, you know, just strive for the stars, really, and just learning. A lot of them are also really interested in policy and law, and they want to be lawyers or, you know, so being able to take part in this is its great. Some of those going into this mornings trip belong to local High School Districts and school boards, their priorities to meet with lawmakers and urge them to preserve education funding. The Oakland Unified School district is teaming up with the student transport company zoom to make its School Busses greener. Theyre launching the first major all electric vehicle bus fleet in the nation. It consists of 74 electric busses with each carrying a battery pack thats 4 to 6 times bigger than a standard ev car battery. Each bus will have its own fast charging station, which means when busses arent on the road, the fleet can generate and send enough electricity back to the grid to power 300 houses a year. The entire new fleet of busses expected to be available at the start of the next school year. New this morning, one of the bay areas most Prestigious High School athletic programs is going international. De La Salle High School of concord will cross the Atlantic Ocean and play in london for a midseason game. Ktvu james torres joins us live at the high school to tell us how this once in a lifetime opportunity came together, james. Sal, lots of excitement here at de La Salle High School, mostly because for its seniors, its their last day of classes. But a lot of the students who will be back here next year, especially on the football team, have a lot of excitement to talk about. You know, we dont really hear too often about high schools playing international games. In fact, i think its only ever happened once before outside of this game that were talking about next fall. But when the idea came about, de la salle was the one of the first schools in mind. Yeah, that was the reaction when the team found out about the opportunity, they were shown a skit style video that kind of revealed the details. You may notice that cheering seemed a little sluggish, a little slow. People students there wondering what exactly is going on. Well, the head coach told us thats because some of those students were in disbelief and they didnt immediately, immediately recognize what exactly was going on. But once that message was clear, the excitement kicked in. Getting to see a team thats interesting because a bunch of guys from a different country, but also, you know, going to other countries is pretty insane. So thatll be cool. Itll be a great experience to go and spend a week with all my teammates and stuff. So were really excited, you know . So who will they play . Well, theyll take on a team from the nfl academy in london at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Thats an academy that recruits the best football talent from all over europe, and probably the best part of this news, the students dont have to worry about paying for a single dime. No stress about fundraisers, no stress about finances, how to make it all work. Thats because nike, who has a contract with all their apparel, their jerseys, all the stuff they wear, nike is covering all the costs for each of those students to get there. They say its part of their program to make sure young student athletes can reach their full potential. That game will happen midseason. Its set for kickoff on october 8th. Were live this morning from de La Salle High School. Im james torres, ktvu, fox two news. All right james thanks new this morning the oakland ballers want to buy the unused seats at the Oakland Coliseum to install at the new baseball field being built at raimondi park. The ballers have formally asked the Coliseum Joint Powers Authority for the right to by about 5000 bleacher seats. The seats were used when the raiders played at the Oakland Coliseum and have been sitting unused in the parking lot of the stadium since the team moved to las vegas. If the purchase is approved, the ballers would install them for the 2025 season as part of an expansion to the facility theyre building in west oakland. Alameda shut down a controversial Climate Change experiment. Researchers were conducting experiments on the uss hornet. The city ordered them to stop after discovering they were spraying salt water. What they say is a chemical into the air. Apparently, they were testing if they could cool down the planet by brightening low lying clouds and reflecting more sunlight away from the earth. Now, the city says it plans to study whether the mixture they put in the air poses any threat to people or the environment. A gilroy middle school is trying a new teaching model that is supposed to boost classroom engagement. Its known as the squads model, and it allows students to play the role of teachers. As gilroy prep is one of a small number of schools across the country experimenting with this method. At the middle school, students work in groups of three. Each group teaches a lesson plan to their classmates with the help of teachers. The Program Leads to more engagement and more engagement leads to more learning. And weve seen that in the data when it comes to better attendance and higher grades and higher test scores. Teachers also say the program has raised overall Student Satisfaction outside of learning the course material. This method also teaches important soft skills. My dream career is to become an electrical engineer, and thats a job where youre working with a team consistently. I feel like working in the squads model definitely has helped me develop the skills that you can work in a team. Before, i wasnt very good at working with people, but now im great at working with everyone i know. Organizers have reached out to 16,000 schools across the country to help them implement the squads model. We want some viewer viewer reaction. This morning were asking, would you support expanding the program where students teach students . Your options are. Yes, it teaches other things. No, leave it to the experts. Yes, those are the two choices there. You can just scan the qr code at the top right of your screen, or you can go to ktvu. Com vote and vote that way. I like that idea. I think especially for those students who have it down pat, for them to be in a leadership role in the classroom and help their peers, i think students will listen maybe more to a peer than they would the teachers. Yeah, well, thats thats one of my thoughts about it, too. It can kind of engage students a little bit more, but you know. Right, right. Well see. Well see how the teachers theyre watching. Right. Exactly. Yeah. You know its not going crazy. Yeah. All right. Lets look ahead here to whats happening as propalestine demonstrators at uc berkeley have decided to move out where theyre heading next, coming up here on the nine, the agreement from the Uc Berkeley Foundation that prompted protesters to end their uc berkeley occupation, then former President Trumps criminal trial taking its usual wednesday break today, where the trial currently stands and what to expect tomorrow morning. It certainly is a gray slate across the bay area, but we do see some clearing right there right now looking out towards rio vista. Well talk about todays high temperatures and the day this weekend. That will be the coolest. That forecast is coming u onhe where uc regents will meet in the next two days. Protesters took down their encampment at berkeley after the School Chancellor agreed to a comprehensive examination of University Investments and a socially responsible investment strategy. Under the agreement, Uc Berkeley Foundation will review all investments and hear Community Concerns about companies that may be linked to weapons manufacturing, mass incarceration and surveillance industries. The foundation did not commit to making any changes to investments. A lot of this is bigger than uc berkeley, uc berkeley is a small component, a small a small gear. And, you know, you know, where the power is really situated in the state of california. The uc regents, the state of california and the nation as a whole child through their clothes. Protesters planned a big rally today at uc merced, where theyre demanding the entire uc system divest from companies that support israel for the time being. The university of San Francisco does not plan to take down the encampment on its campus, but the protesters are warned that they could be suspended or expelled for violating the code of student conduct. The city united will never be defeated. The protesters ignored a deadline of 3 p. M. To leave the campus and staged a rally. They set up tents two weeks ago and demanded that usf, a private institution, divest from companies linked to israel, along with supporting palestinians on campus or in gaza. Weve had folks whose friends lost 30 over 30 people from their family entire, like bloodlines lost. So all of this really, like, amplifies the need for us to be a voice for the people who dont have a voice. University officials told the protesters that theyre willing to call for a ceasefire in gaza, and also give the student protesters 1 or 2 seats on an Investment Task force. The University Also said it would research changes in the curriculum, like adding palestine studies. The Planning Commission, in Half Moon Bay has approved a new Housing Development for senior farmworkers. Dozens of people attended last nights Planning Commission meeting, which went well past midnight. The proposal to build a 40 unit, low income apartment complex for senior farmworkers in downtown Half Moon Bay has divided the community. We have way too much going on down here. We have schools, churches, boys and girls club down here. Its just not the right space for that. Well, theres always reasons not to build something somewhere. People will always find that reason. But we really have to look at who were building this for. The most vulnerable are senior farm workers that have dedicated their lives and their physical health to us. Last years mass shooting at a mushroom farm in Half Moon Bay exposed the poor Living Conditions of farmworkers. Last week, Governor Newsom urged the city to move forward with the project. House Speaker Mike Johnson is defending former President Trump as he faces a criminal trial. Foxs nate foy has the latest on where the socalled hush money trial stands and what to expect when it resumes tomorrow morning. The criminal trial of former President Donald Trump will resume thursday with the cross examination of trumps onetime lawyer, michael cohen. Cohen admits he wants to see trump convicted and acknowledges saying trump should be put in a cage. Trump cant publicly respond to cohen due to the courts gag order, but his republican allies continue to show their support. Im an attorney. Im a former litigator myself. I am disgusted by what is happening here, what is being done here to our entire system of justice overall. While leaving the courthouse, trump criticized the gag order, which was reinforced by an Appellate Court on tuesday. Trump maintains he needs to be able to defend himself publicly while running for president. You have a constitutional problem with our ability to say anything about your own case. I am not allowed to talk about big portions of my case and nothing like thats ever happened so far on the witness stand. Cohens already admitted to lying before congress in 2017, and again to special counsel prosecutors as part of the mueller investigation. Now, cohen testifies trump reimbursed him for paying off. Adult film actress Stormy Daniels 130,000 leading up to the 2016 election. Trump maintains all payments to cohen represent legitimate legal expenses. We dont know really how this is landing with the jurors, but they certainly are playing, paying very close attention. After cohen, trumps team can call their own witnesses to the stand, theyll discuss bringing in an Expert Witness at the end of court tomorrow. This week, judge Wayne Mershon granted an extra day off from court. The trial will not sit on friday so that trump can attend his son barrons High School Graduation in florida. In new york, nate foy, ktvu, fox two news new this morning, President Biden and former President Donald Trump have agreed to two debates. The first will be on june 27th on cnn. The next september 10th on abc. This after earlier this morning, President Biden posted a video on x challenging the former president to a debate. Donald trump lost two debates. To me in 2020, and since then he hasnt shown up for debate. Now hes acting like he wants to debate me again. Will make my day, pal. Ill even do it twice. So lets pick the dates. Donald i hear youre free. On wednesdays. Cnn says the june debate will be held in its atlanta studios, and that no audience will be present. Were learning. This morning, south dakota governor kristi noem is scheduled to speak on saturday at the California Republican partys convention in burlingame. This, according to the la times. Noem was recently in the headlines for a passage in her new book, in which she recounted shooting her dog after she found it untrainable as a hunting dog. Lets get over to Roberta Gonzales to take a look at your weather forecast. Seems like the pattern is overcast in the morning and then pleasant afternoon. This is why we dub it may gray. Its a stagnant, benign, quiet weather pattern and we will continue to see this all the way through the weekend. But it will be dry this weekend. This is the scene looking out towards Monument Peak in the santa clara valley. Visibility under ten miles. There improving now in Half Moon Bay and in santa rosa. But down his six mile visibility in throughout the tri valley, this is it, right here. This is the marine layer. It backs off in the early afternoon hours but hugs the coast. So only a peek of sunshine in pacifica and Half Moon Bay today. When you see that blue, thats a little bit of condensation in the form of drizzle. Because of the thickening layer of this low clouds and the patchy fog. And tonight, overnight, it streams farther inland towards the stockton area and sacramento. So with the cooler air mass aloft, we will see some cooler temperatures for your thursday. But until then, we now squeezed out a 60 degree reading. Everybodys been reporting 50s all morning. Winds are under ten Miles Per Hour except at the delta. Also, fairfield winds are calm at this hour around the peninsula, but still ushering around later today with a west and west southwest wind will be the pollen. Those winds kicking up to 15. Its the oak and the Mulberry Tree count also the walnut tree count coming into play. So we have this trough right there. It is enhancing our marine layer. And so as it does so tonight, overnight, as it deepens, we have that cooler air mass aloft until then 63 at the beaches, 85 inland, 77 in union city and in fremont. How about across the bay into the peninsula . The temperatures in the mid and high 70s, 81 degrees in san jose, which is above average. Your extended forecast does call for that cooler condition on thursday, but youll barely notice the difference with additional cooling on friday. Holding steady saturday coolest day of the weekend will be on sunday. I hope you have a wonderful day gang roberta. Thank you. Graduation season is upon us coming up on mornings on two and nine. We will have much more and you can hear from a student, a High School Senior who immigrated to the u. S. Just five years ago and now has been accepted into 120 colleges and universities, plus, in a few minutes, im going to be interviewing at openai. Have you heard of them . Openai . Sounds vaguely familiar. Kidding. Of course. Thats incredible. Rocky. What kind of interview sounds real, but thats not a french voice. That was ai. Still to come, were live with a local engineering professor looking closer into what openais latest chatgpt rollout could do from bay area colleges advance in their careers. The group is called financial women of San Francisco. Its awarded more than 3 million in scholarships to hundreds of women from the bay area over more than three decades. The program aims to support women pursuing careers in finance, accounting and industries historically dominated by men. The recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony next month. In the city. An oakland high schooler is getting ready to graduate after being accepted to 120 colleges and universities. The High School Senior immigrated to the United States from his homeland of uganda just five years ago, he told ktvu. Navigating the cultural differences between the two countries was a challenge. The 18 year old enjoys singing and plans to major in music and minor in global studies at cal next year. His dad graduated from uc berkeley, but says that did not influence his sons decision. Gave him encouragement to follow his dreams. Not not go to berkeley specifically. I feel very lucky that, i was well prepared and i had wonderful Guidance Counselors and parents that were supportive of this whole process. He is scheduled to graduate from headroyce, a private school in oakland, next month with a 3. 94 gpa. Police in vacaville are warning parents about an increase in reports of kids shooting imitation guns in schools and at public parks. Officers say sometimes it can be hard to tell if the kids have a real weapon, increasing the risk of someone getting hurt. In many cases, the fake firearms are clearly colored and marked as toy guns, but sometimes they can be painted black and more difficult to identify. I would hate to see a situation arise where somebody mistook it for a real gun, and it could be an officer or somebody with a concealed carry permit that felt they needed to defend themselves. Its really concerning, and i dont think i would want to be in the park with somebody with a bb gun. Officers say those seen using or discharging fake firearms could face penalties. Lawmakers are trying to keep up with i as Tech Advances quickly coming up on mornings on two. The nine how much money lawmakers want to spend in the next three years for safe ai development. Also, Alameda County voters now know when they can vote for either the or to keep or recall attorney, pamela price. Were live with that st after you made a cow actually its a piggy bank.

Its a cool morning between marin and San Francisco counties and pretty much all over the bay. Career counselors are watching closely the job path of generation z. Thats people born between 1997 and 2012. Many are now entering the workforce and wondering what they want in a career. Employment analyst and lifestyle coaches say this generation is dealing with never before seen challenges, including the covid pandemic. One employment report back in february found that within a year of graduating college, roughly half of the workers had jobs that did not make direct use of their degree. But so many parents say, you got to get the degree. What you do with it from there is your choice. So its a its a tough one for sure. For these young adults. Yeah, i would agree. I think that there are a lot of employers who still look to see if you have. And i know that thats changing a little bit, but theres still a barrier to those without degrees to get into some, some jobs especially, you can find out what you want to do. You can go go to college, just get the degree and decide what you want to do. After that, you dont necessarily have to pursue, right . You know, pursue what you get that degree of. Yeah. All right. Lets take a peek. Lets take a look at the results of this poll here. We asked would you support expanding the program where students teach students take a look. No. Leave it to the experts 56.

Happening today, Alameda County voters will decide whether to remove District Attorney pamela price from office during this years general election. The board of supervisors last night set the recall date for november 5th. Ktvu erasmus in studio here to explain ali why county leaders agreed to that date. Well, it came down to cost and convenience, the Alameda County registrar of voters told the supervisors it would cost between 15 to 20 million to hold a special standalone recall election sometime in the summer. The registrar of voters also told them that staging that recall election in august or september would create other logistical challenges. In addition to the extra cost, around 1500 to 1700 election workers potentially, which would have to be recruited to support the vote centers. So essentially wed be, its a its a big effort, but if they combined that election with the general election in november, that recall would only cost 4 million for the county. And the county would already have plenty of election workers, staff and equipment already in place. So the Alameda County board of supervisors approved that november 5th election date for the recall. At its meeting last night. It came after two hours of Public Comment for and against the recall of Alameda Countys District Attorney. More than 100 people signed up to speak in da. Price should not face voters again until she nears the end of her first term. This is what voters expect when we elect our representative. Rouz recall should be a last resort. There are so many businesses that are closing down because they are the da is not prosecuting these criminals. In april, the Alameda County registrar of voters certified that recall supporters had gathered enough signatures to qualify for a recall election. State law says once that happens, the county has to set a date for a recall within a specific time frame within a maximum of 180 days. May 14th was the starting point to do that. In order to have that recall election with the november 5th election. And so it really had the board of supervisors had no choice but to go ahead and set a date for that election last night. Now, supporters of da price, like the idea of this recall election happening during the general election in november, because its a president ial election. So those elections tend to have higher voter turnout. And prices supporters believe that will work in her favor. Price is expected to speak publicly about the recall against her about a half hour from now. We will have an update on this story in our new newscast. Sal, all right, ali, thank you very much. A new survey found that the number of Homeless People in oakland grew by 9 over the past two years. Thats despite a drop of 3 in Alameda County. Overall, the figures come from a one day point in time count from january, where more than 1000 volunteers gathered information across the county. Oaklands increase in its Homeless Population was smaller than in previous years, and the reduction in Alameda Countys numbers was the first recorded in years. Openai has unleashed its latest chat. Gpt four zero, and its voice sounds eerily close to a friend or partner. Take a listen. Hey, hows it going . Hey, rocky. Im doing great. How about you . Im awesome. Listen, i got some huge news. Oh, do tell, im all ears. Well, in a few minutes, im going to be interviewing at openai. Have you heard of them . Openai . Sounds vaguely familiar. Kidding. Of course. Thats incredible. Rocky, what kind of interview . Well, its for a Software Engineering role, but i just need to know. Do i look presentable . Professional well, rocky, you definitely have the. Ive been coding all night. Look down. Which could actually work in your favor. Maybe just run a hand through your hair or lean into the mad genius vibe. Your enthusiasm is whats really going to shine through. So for more insight into the latest version of ai, were joined by ahmed bonfa, an engineering professor at san jose state university. Thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. Andre, so that voice oh, let me get your reaction to, the way that voice came off. Boy, we are really, going fast forward when it comes to humanizing ai. I mean, telling somebody you have to fix your hair or to be ready for the interview. Thats actually my student will be happy to hear that, because thats going to be very helpful. Yeah, that will be right. You do have to fix up what the video goes on to show. Is the guy putting a hat on and the chat. Gpt four, recognizing that he had a hat on to see how he was dressed, give us your thoughts on the advancements. Seeing this play out right in front of our eyes. Well, heres what happened with the, gpt four. First of all, all. Which is not zero. Its the letter o stands for omni, which is the latin word for every, what they have done in this new edition, they combine for application or for software together, one that can deal with text, one with image and one with video, one with the audio. Thats why you have it in one, specific software. And they remove the word chat. They call it gpt for all, just to make sure that its not just fixed on the on the text. This is this is really an advancement because now you have everything in one, software in one agent. Thats how they, they call it. And its on your phone. You can its going to be your friend. Its you can ask him about whatever you want. This video that were showing now is them. Someone pointing their phone, the gpt, at a math problem. And it helps solve the problem. This is something we showed yesterday on mornings on two. Tell us about, in your view, as an engineer, is this impressive . What are your thoughts on this . Well, i mean, its a basic, equation, which is a good start. Were going to see how its going to deal with advanced mathematics, because when you are talking about student in the third in their senior or their in their junior year, they are dealing with way more complicated equation. But the concept is good be because the whole the whole idea is dont tell me the answer. Tell me how can i get to the answer and ask me the right question . Like acting like a professor or a tutor to help me understand it. So we have siri, we have alexa, googles gemini, from what youre seeing right now, is this far beyond what those companies are putting out at this point . The timing is really strategic for them, andre, you think about it. I mean, its one day before the input and output of google. Its three weeks before apple have their own conference. And all of those companies, including amazon, theyre trying to upgrade their digital assistants, you know, from alexa to siri to the google assistant. And this is like saying, hey, we have we have a better one here. So if you want to have a better interaction, you can talk to us. I mean, i kind of help, but looking at this system, the gpt or excuse me, the gpt four zero and saying to myself, you know, if youre google, youre only searching one way. Youre inputting information. Theyre giving it to you. With gpt 4. 0, youre having a conversation back and forth in many different ways. If youre google, do you worry about your dominance when youre looking at this program . Play out . Absolutely. Ill be worried about it because people would love to have multiple the multimodal, system, which is, youre not just taking the text. Its not like you just enter in the text. Its actually taking the voice, taking the pictures, videos, interaction with this, this is miles ahead of what any of the other companies are thinking about it. Its actually pushing the envelope for all of them to do better. And yesterday we seen with google theyre trying to put ai in every single product of google. This i kept thinking to myself, this is like, you know, a robot without a body, and its only going to keep developing. Ahmed ben arfa, thank you so much for joining us from san jose state. We appreciate your time into the next evolution of. I appreciate your time. Thank you andre. Appreciate that. Thanks. A Bipartisan Group of senators is urging congress to put billions into the Safe Development of ai to get ahead of global rivals. The Group Recommends spending at least 32 billion over the next three years. Senators say that regulation and innovations are urgently needed as countries such as china are investing heavily in ai technology. All this comes as the senate plans to vote on three bills addressing ai and election interference. Later today. President biden has announced plans to increase tariffs on chinese electric vehicles from 25 to 100. There are currently few evs from china on us roads, but officials worry low priced models made possible by Chinese Government subsidies could soon start flooding the us market. One chinese ev, the seagull, sells for about 12,000 in china is comparable with us models that cost three times as much. So when you put that in perspective, its just like, oh my gosh, this is really staggering. And i think its a clarion call to the industry. It says this is the benchmark. This is what we have to look at. Analysts say us automakers need to study evs, such as the seagull, to come up with lower priced electric vehicles if they want to compete in the global market. Well, good news for the Wine Industry how much the Wine Industry is expected to grow over the next decade and why . Plus the search for San Franciscos best croissant or croissant is underway.

This follows reports earlier this month that found a drop in wine sales following the pandemic. The reason cited for the drop is that people stock up on wine during the pandemic, and they are still drinking through it, according to the new bmo wine market report. People are starting to finish off their stockpiles of wine, and when that happens, they believe people will buy again. Well, a trip to paris is not complete without a croissant. The french puff pastry is famous for its buttery layers wrapped in a perfectly flaky crust. Today we are going to taste the final lists of the best croissant contest in San Francisco. Joining me is Frankie Perez with the french morning media group. Its the Media Company that put together this coveted competition. And you explained to me that you, your media group, is dedicated to people who love france and bringing some of that culture here. Absolutely french morning is dedicated to french expatriates living in the United States. And there is french lee with a y at the end, dedicated for american in love with france. And we are reaching half a million unique visitors every month. Thats interesting. When i hear the word expatriates, i always think of american because im american. But what are the french say about the United States when they move here . Do they have trouble finding a good croissant, today its pretty much possible to find good wine, good cheese, good croissant, good baguette. In the us, wherever you are. Yeah, but sometimes we are homesick. Thats why we have celebrations and competition like this one, in order to interact with what we miss the most. Croissants, wine and cheese. Anything. Im missing that france culture has, the food wise in general. You know, the thats basically the, the culture, the theater, the movies. You know, french movies are very different from american movies. You go straight to the point. You are much more efficient in movie making in france, we take time. Its slower. It sometimes its more sensitive. It goes a little bit deeper, very different. I love america, thats why im here. Last question before i bring in some friends to try the croissants is how do french people say stay so thin, relatively thin, and theyre eating croissants. Theyre drinking wine, theyre eating cheese. What is the secret . Exercise, workout . I dont know, i mean, you know, its interesting when you go to a lunch in france, even if its a business lunch, you usually end it around 3 p. M, right . So we love. Same as spain. Those european countries, we stay in shape. I really dont know. I dont you find out, you call me up, okay . Okay. All right, lets bring in andre and garcia, who are going to help me judge these five croissant, five different bakeries. Let me croissant. I think ill skip around to this side. Its going to force me in the contest. There are ten. Right, frankie . But we got five delivered, so absolutely there will be ten finalists. Here we go on sunday. Andre. Its taking place at the clift, royal sonesta in partnership with la perouse by, vega. We are very excited. We do that every year. Its for the last ten years, french croissant, french baguette. Okay, i like it. All right. You guys want to start with number one . Were going to start it. Taste them together. So okay. So were going to taste each one. Weve got five samples and were going to taste together. This is number one im going to what makes them different though. Like do they how do you how do you make them different. Its not made the same way for all of them. Theyre pretty much made the same way. You have to look at the so how it looks at the size at the texture. Its interesting. You know, the texture. Its airy, flaky outside. And its pretty much like a french man inside. Sweet, tender, soft. I like it, hopefully not flaky. All right. Okay. I can definitely see the difference between 1 and 1. And moving on to two. All right, i see im just tearing off the end because i feel bad. Like, in case somebody wants to finish this, i dont want, like, my. Let me see, already a difference. Yes. For sure. Theres a difference. You feel that its rich . Buttery flavor rich with the hint of, sweetness. Usually im going fast because its tv time, right . I want to eat. I want to eat it all. All right, number three. What do you think, sal is . Three different. Hold on. You guys should bring a french guy every morning. We should. And like, a little coffee and a little a little jam. Okay. Wine on monday. All right. Cheese on tuesday. So at this point, im kind of getting a little, like croissant blind because theyre a little bit like normal people dont eat five croissants in one sitting. So my apologies to number four. Im about to taste now. Making croissants is so hard. Ive actually never done it. Its like laminating and turning the dough, and i just. Ive never tried it. So i have a lot of respect for people who do it. And when you open it, when you cut it in half, you should see different layers of butter. And when baked, thats what makes it flaky. When the baking process is what gives it the flake. All right, im moving on to five five. I think i have one to beat. Let me see if five is going to do it. Oh no. No, im not sure which one is going to win. In the meantime, while youre tasting this, im going to look, i just want to say that sunday, next sunday is sold out, but. Oh no, but i have a waiting list.

Well be right back. Merci beaucoup. Yasser merci. Thats where my french ends shipment of different weapons. As Caroline Shelby reports from washington, d. C, some lawmakers on capitol hill are preparing to take action of their own. The Biden Administration plans to send 1 billion shipment in new weapons and ammunition to israel, while warning the government they have to do more to protect civilians in gaza. We cant have chaos and anarchy in gaza, so there needs to be a clear, concrete plan. The deal will likely include 700 million in tank ammunition and 500 million in tactical vehicles. Its the first weapons transfer since the white house paused a separate shipment of 3500 bombs a week ago, over concerns of full scale attack on the crowded city of rafah. Could kill a huge number of civilians. We have paused the shipment of 2,000 pound bombs because we do not believe they should be dropped in densely populated cities. They need 2,000 pound bombs because hamas is underground, dug in. They need precision guided heavy bombs to break up the tunnels. Meanwhile, the house of reps is set to vote on a republican bill this week that would force the white house to release any holds on weapons shipments to israel. The irony is what joe biden is doing for political purposes to try to appease the prohamas, you know, people in his party, i guess, or propalestinian. Hes doing real harm to the cause and the protection of innocent life. The white house says President Biden would veto the house measure, calling it an infringement on the president s duties as commander in chief in washington. Caroline shively, ktvu, fox two news. In ukraine, thousands of people were forced to flee their homes as Russian TroopsGain Momentum in the countrys second largest city. This morning, Ukrainian Forces withdrew from kharkiv while coming under heavy fire. The assault is part of russias latest offensive, launched last week. Meanwhile the us announced an additional 2 billion worth of aid for ukraine, but the support may be coming too late to do more. My heart is broken. Where are we going and where will we stay . They kicked us out of our family house team. It is important to make the implementation of decisions and logistics more efficient. If we had already received two patriots for this region, it would have made a difference in the overall situation in the war. As russia advances, ukraines president is canceling all International Events scheduled in the coming days. Some parents in texas have filed a federal lawsuit after they were accused of abusing their son, and the state took their children. The parents took their infant son to the hospital when he became sick. Doctors said their sons brain was swelling as a result of being repeatedly shaken. They were charged with felony child abuse and their children put in foster care. They jumped to the worst conclusions possible. Its the worst feeling ever because you really want answers as to whats going on, but youre also being interrogated and wrongfully investigated for child abuse. After about five months, the judge ordered the children returned to the home. They then received a correct diagnosis for their son, a rare condition believed to be related to a complication of birth. The parents were eventually cleared of all wrongdoing. A cargo ship that crashed into baltimores key bridge in march had two electrical failures minutes before the crash, and had experienced two blackouts a day earlier, according to a preliminary report released today by the National Transportation safety board. Now, according to the report, the two Electrical Outages caused several pumps that power the ship to stop working about ten hours earlier, while the ship was still in the port of baltimore, it experienced two onboard blackouts. Investigators are looking into whether the crew properly reported the Power Outages earlier today. People in santa rosa can hop aboard a new trolley that takes you from the Railroad Square to courthouse square. The electric trolley is free for all riders. It runs wednesday to sunday at various times. For now, this trolley is part of a Pilot Program lasting through september 29th. The city is exploring ways to make travel easier for people in the downtown area. The first ride is today at five of the Monterey Bay Aquarium is making it easier for low income families to get in on the fun. Starting may 27th, the aquarium will provide free admission to anyone enrolled in snap benefits. All you have to do is bring your ebt card. You can also bring up to four other people for free through the program. This is part of the National Museums for all program, and according to its site, nearly 150 museums in our state are participating. These are some of them. More than a dozen are here in the bay area. The deyoung, cal academy of sciences, oakland zoo, and more. And here are the results from our poll so far that we mentioned earlier this hour. We asked, would you support expanding the program where students teach . Students here are the results. Yes. Teaches other skills 52 no. Leave it to the experts. Pretty close. Thats pretty pretty close, though, i think. Yes, teacher teaches other skills have come up from the rear a little bit since we first started this about an hour ago. So people are on there voting and you can vote continue to vote online. Just scan the qr code thats on the top right hand corner of your screen. And that will take you right to it. Or you can go to ktvu. Com viewer poll. And that would also take you to that part of our website that will have that information there. And you can just cast your vote. Id love to hear from you for sure. I think this also might help those students who, like, totally have the material know what theyre doing, because sometimes those kids are bored in the classroom while the teacher is focusing on the rest of the students who have yet to get it. So give those kids who are already down with it something to do to help their classmates, right . The last thing you want is a child bored that didnt happen to me, but you know you were not among the bored. I was not among the bored because i was busy trying to, you know, soak in the information. But i would tend to say the same thing. You want to keep the child active in some way, and if thats the way to keep them engaged in the class, then you know, why not . Why not have it . You dont know how much parents think about this, andre. Were thinking about this all the time. What is best for them to learn . At least most parents i know are thinking about this all the time, right . Right, right. And its also nice for students to have different roles in the classroom, not always sitting there absorbing from a grown up. Let the child feel some agency that she or he can be sort of a teacher themselves. For sure we can talk about this for hours. We can want to go finish those croissants. Yes.
