people will pay attention to what is happening in iran and stand up against what she says is extreme injustice. >> not only is it important that people keep out their radar so that, you know, our government and other governments can see how important shane and josh are to people, but also it's important to sean and josh. and it keeps our families going. none of us in any way were prepared for this. >> reporter: this is part of a lecture series but on by a nonprofit organization that hopes to facilitate dialogue on issues of interest to the iranian-american community in the bay area. shourd

state senator leland yee of san francisco prohibits the sale of violent video games to children. nbc bay area's monty francis spoke with senator yee. >> reporter: the law was passed in 2005. but it never went into effect because it was immediately challenged in the courts. senator yee is hoping that the six-year-long legal fight will finally come to an end this week. the violent video game law makes it illegal for stores in california to sell excessively violent video games to anyone under 18. the industry argues the law violates the first amendment. in the past the supreme court has ruled there are certain limitations to free speech rights, for example, when it comes to laws preventing children from being exposed to porn grief. yee, who is also a child psychologist, says there are plenty of studies to show violent video games harm children. >> when you have these ultra-violent video games that are teaching kids how to kill and maim and hurt individuals and the technology that is used to train our -- what the officers and soldiers to hurt and kill the enemy and so on, the bad guys, well, this is the same technology that is used to now train our children. >> reporter: yee says he thinks the justices are taking their time on this one because it's a landmark case. the court has already heard arguments so they have to issue a ruling by june 27th which is the endof their term. yee says that ruling could come as early as tomorrow morning. >> thank you, monty. on this father's day, dozens of volunteers joined the father of michelle lei to continue to search for the missing nursing stunt. police have classified the case as a homicide but the family has made clear they won't stop looking for her and hoping for her safe return. marc klaas, whose daughter polly was kidnapped and killed in petaluma in 1993, has joined the search and his nonprofit foundation is helping as well. father's day is difficult for klaas and today michelle's father also talked about his daughter. >> there's nothing i want more on a father's day than to have michelle here. i have never asked her for a present on father's day ever. but she hasn't forgotten one yet. but you know, i never asked for a present but i will ask for one. i would love to have her here. >> lei was last seen three weeks ago leaving kaiser hospital in hayward where she was a nursing student. if this were typical brian stow would have packed a cooler and taken his kids to the oakland coliseum to watch the giants take on the a's. it's not a typical father's day. stow remains in critical condition after a march 31st attack outside of dodger stadium. so instead of going to the game, like the family says they usually do, stow's children made a collage of photos to hang on their tad's hospital room wall. there is a chance that the suspect in the beating, giovanni ramirez, could get out of jail soon if a scheduled parole hearing goes his way tomorrow. right now we want to check in on the weather

state senate's labor committee is getting ready to hear the domestic worker bill of rights. speakers included sylvia lopez, her shared her story of cleaning a filthy house infested with rats. >> translator: we're hoping essentially for the same work, the same rates and benefits as any other worker has. our work is the same as everyone else and we serve the same protection. >> these workers were excluded from national labor laws passed in the 1930s which granted other workers basic rights such as breaks, overtime pay, and safe working conditions. if passed the domestic worker bill of rights would expand basic labor protections to domestic workers and their families. still ahead at 6:00, in libya another nato strike that may have hit innocent civilians. who was behind the ousterf o

count in overtime. the "chronicle" reports while mayor lee never spoke out against ford publicly, he was a key behind the scenes player in his removal. part of the reason is ford had been publicly shopping for a new job. tomorrow pg&e plans to conduct pressure tests on its pipeline that returns through union city in hayward. the pipeline runs on hespreian boulevard and west winton avenue. they'll pressurize it to a higher level than with natural gas. people may smell natural gas but it should dissipate quickly. after the section is monitored for leaks for eight hours, pipes have been emptied, dried and put back into service, any pipe section that does not meet standards will be replaced. we're learning that two-thirds of studies on gas pipeline safety were paid for by pipeline operators or groups they control. that's what a "san francisco chronicle" investigation is revealing. the federal pipeline and hazardous materials safety administration bases its rules and inspection

meters emit a very small amount of radiation. baseball and father's day. it's a long-standing tradition in many bay area families. it's a bit more special because it happens to be the bay bridge series. it was a beautiful day for a tailgate party in oakland as families were treating dad to be a afternoon at the park. as it usually goes when the a's and giants play you have divided households. both teams were well-represented and the dads were very grateful for the opportunity to spend some time with their families. >> they invited me three years and now this year i said, let's go to an a's

your final. the a's comete the sweep. the giants 0 for 19 in the series with runners in scoring position. >> you know, just -- really the story is we can't or couldn't get a hit here with the runners in scoring position. that's the difference in the game. they got a two-out hit to tie it. of course the home run. not hitting the ball out of the ballpark, you need a hit with runners in scoring position. but matt certainly did a great job. college world series. opening round, cal and top-ranked virginia. bottom seven. this is still scoreless until john hicks finds a hole. 1-0 cavaliers. got tom eight, 2-0. jared king, good aluminum. mitchell schifflet will score on a triple. danny holson held the bears largely in check and virginia wins 4-1. cal will face the loser of texas a&m/south carolina. >> it was a great ball into the seventh inning. you knew it was going to come down to -- i think at times both teams were given base runners and maybe given opportunities, who was going to come up with a big hit. that's kind of like the way the games have been going all year long. from the diamond to the pitch. a sport based on teamwork and goals which is why the san francisco street soccer club's journey is all the more unique. as first reported by the "chronicle," brody brazil has the story. >> reporter: in a city short on patches of grass, street soccer is a perfect atappedtation. >> it's way different. the ball goes more faster and not like grass. it goes slower. the pace is faster. >> it's four on four. you do a lot of running. seven minutes nonstop time. and

strive for a better you, really. >> not everybody's homeless is a beat-down crackhead. some of us just fell bonhommelessness, you know. and we're trying to get out of it. >> reporter: which is the goal of rob kanf. he started this team two years ago, as well as street soccer usa. an association of 19 other homeless squads across the country. his mission to help is a team sport. >> just the feeling of getting out, playing sports, sweating, seeing your body transform, giving someone high five, forgetting about the situation you're in for a little while, trying to get positive momentum going in your life. then we build off of that. one more note, rory mcilroy wins the u.s. open. the 22-year-old becomes the youngest major champion since tiger woods in the '97 masters. happy father's
