New this morning, three San Francisco officers recovering from injuries after their vehicles crashed. Happened about 11 00 last night, and according to officials, two police cars collided at 15th and mission. The officers were responding to calls for backup. All three were sent to the hospital but none have lifethreatening injuries. 6 04 right now and the story we have been watching all week long. Protests bubbling up at berkeley comes to an end rather peacefully. Five people were arrested, and that was it, compared to 20 at the same location a couple weeks ago. These rallies were sparked by the expected appearance and then cancellation of conservative commentator ann coulter and her visit of cal. It was supposed to happen yesterday, but safety issues forced her to stay away. 00offs protesters did show up yesterday. Our crews were there with some of them. We have been following this since our midday news cast. Liberals and conservatives were marching midday to last night. Not a question of free speech. This is a question of fascism happening right here, right now. And its a question of whether people are going to stand up against it. The police promised us at the beginning that they had us protected. And they would not allow what happened two weeks ago to happen today. So two weeks ago referred to civic center park. This is actually from several weeks ago, what youre looking at right now, violent clashes on berkeleys campus. The biggest one, this video, happened in february when former breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos speaking engagement was shut down by protesters. Yesterday, again, things remained relatively calm. Happening this morning, a San Francisco man shot by police will be in court for a hearing. Police shot shaun moore at his home in january. Moore, who is considered mentally ill, became aggressive when police wouldnt leave his home. Officers were called there for a restraining order violation. A judge says police should have left when moore told them to. Public defender jeff adachi is urging the judge to drop all charges against moore. Happening today, where do things stand now .

Mom, dad, claire and fernando, had four eggs, but the fourth never hatched. The other ones hatched earlier this month. Today, researchers will climb to the nest and brand all three chicks. But as you well know, its the face branding. They do it every year for research. Everyone invited to watch. It starts this morning at 8 00. We like that falcon cam. Pretty cool.

This is a very nice springlime weather, and then it gets warm next week. Well talk about that in a few minutes. Mike is tracking whats happening now with those b. A. R. T. Delays and the roads too. The roads are great. B. A. R. T. , not so great. We have major delays still reported system wide, and we still have not yet gotten the all clear for that train being pushed over to a service area right around the san leandro area. Until that happens, we still have to say there is a train that is stopping the southbound tracks from servicing fully down toward warm springs out of oakland. Looking at the roadways and looking great. No major issues over here, and the trivalley times, look at that, 23 minutes from grant line to 680. Thats great, but its friday. Back to you. Yes t is.

In San Francisco, sales actually dropped, march numbers were down 5. 3 last year. Median home prices in the bay area also creeping up to match last years prices which were at alltime highs. Bad Workplace Culture in the Tech Industry has workers ditching their jobs. Unfairness or mistreatment was the top reason, according to a Study Released yesterday by the center for social impact and harris poll. Workers also said they were unhappy with their job environment, while minorities and women say they experienced stereotyping on the job. All of that bad news for the Trump Administration. White house reportedly startled by lousy gdp numbers. Scott mcgrew joins us, just days after President Trump made fun of president obamas record. On gdp, and then he got worse numbers. Just a few minutes, ago, we got those numbers showing gdp growth in the First Quarter. The worst its been in three years. I will say, First Quarter gdp is notoriously hard to measure. The number could get a lot worse because it does not include some key tail data, and it could be revised downward once we get the data. Its the last trading day of the month. The dow is set for its best month of the year so far. Stocks have been treading water in the last couple days. That tax plan was a lot more vague than inners were hoping for. The nasdaq closed near record, though. 6048. A moviet Silicon Valley has be waiting for hits theaters today. The circle is based on the book from the same name. Its about a giant tech company, think google combined with facebook, called the circle, thats taken over peoples lives. We will see them. We will hear them. We will hear and see everything.

Now, that book was written a couple year uz ago, at this point, may be a bit dated because it warned us of a future in which we may already be living in. This sunday, well take you inside one of the strangest all hands meetings in San Francisco at the office of calm, an office that made a cult hit iphone app by the same name. Sales are up and employees are downward dogging. Michael smith is the head of it. Are you a knight . No, i got an obe. Whats the difference . I think a knight is when you get the queen putting a sward on either side of you. This is the order of the british empire. Thats cool. He says his mother is very, very proud. I bet. Wow. Very nice. Sunday here after meet the press. Great story to tell you about. A little boy is hailed as a hero he helped to save his fathers life. Thats 5yearold aiden who was riding in the car with his dad shane when their car hidroplained, blue a tire, and rolled down an embankment. Aiden climbed out the busted back window, up 20 feet to try to find some help. All of that with his own broken leg. Neighbors were able to free the father before ambulances arrived. He was climbing out the window in panic, and he turned around and looked at his daddy and was like, youre getting out of the car one way or another, dad. Then he took off up the embankment. He nodded, yeah, thats what i did. Shane is now recovering in the hospital from a few broken ribs and an injured leg, but his son saved his life. And all the kapdy and ice cream he ever wanted. Or cartoons. Sure. Like these natural survival skills. Hes only 5 years old. A mini macgyver. Exactly. Were fashioning putting together all kinds of things as we get to the weekend, and were almost there. We have awesome weather. Nice and comfortable for the next couple days. Then it continues to warm up. So were in for some summerlike weather as we get a live look outside from emeryville. Looking towards the bay bridge. Look at that temperature, only 49 degrees a cool start this morning as you head out. Right now at 6 18, were going to see the High Temperatures warming into the upper 70s. How about that for the trivalley . 77 degrees. 81 degrees in concord, and 79 in napa and santa rosa. Along the coast, were into the upper 60s. And as you get up, get the kids ready for school, dont forget the light jacket. You wont need it as we go through the day as it warms up quickly at recess. Theyll enjoy the time outside, and it will be a nice and sunny day. Also the winds will be kicking up, too. As we take a live look outside at San Francisco, the at t park, you can see the seagulls already out there flying around. Were getting ready for another game. So for this evening, it will be a nice and cool one, but with those breezy winds at first pitch, at 7 15, expect it to be around 63 degrees. If youre sitting in areas that are all exposed, not in the risers but youre more in the bleacher section, it can go to be very cool out there. As you get out and about, dont forget that we have still have a lot of pollen in the air. Its definitely time to wash the car, too, with that coating of pollen on there, and some dry weather in the forecast. We do still have a moderate level of tree and grass pollen and it continues to be that way over the next several days. As you make weekend plans, maybe youre going to santa cruz for tomorrow. As you start out early in the morning, well be in the 60s. Then as we go into the afternoon, into the mid70s. Its going to be a this one. Not only for santa cruz but also for San Francisco with highs in the 70s and staying in the mid 70s as we go throughout next week with some more dry weather as we will see some of the temperatures warming up for the next few days. It will feel more like summer for tuesday and wednesday. Were talking upper 80s, and it wouldnt be surprising if we hit 90 for the first time this year. As we head over to mike now, some improvement for the b. A. R. T. Report . Thats right. We got it, ckari. We got the train cleared from the tracks. South down through san leandro. The southbound trains are now in full recovery mode. No other issues far as the b. A. R. T. System or the other transit systems. Thats great news. We also have a smooth flow of traffic along the roadways. No major delays for traffic flowing around the bay. Its friday. Well look at the waze system because later on today, afternoon and evenings well see a lot more traffic and even late in the commute. If youre traveling from hayward to mountain, it looks like 45 minutes on the purple route. But pretty much you can pick any of the east west connectors, 237, dumbarton or estimasan mat bridge and theyre taking about the same amount of time. If you are hitting the roadways, check your waze system because again, this afternoon and evening, going to get crowded out there. Waze will help you pick your departure time, forecast your drive time. Join our team and well help you as well because you can share the information you get out there and theres a chat function as well with folks who have the same route. Thank you very much. 6 21.

North korea has not tested its latest Nuclear Device yet, and americas made it clear it will attack if north korea does. Why President Trump brought up the specific possibility of war now in an interview with reuters, not clear. He calls it, again, major, major conflict. There is a lot of movement on the diplomatic front as well. Secretary of state rex tillerson, seen here with the vietname Vietnamese Foreign minister the United States is willing to negotiate person to person with north korea. This is a change to u. S. Policy up until now, we have insisted other countries take part. As recently as last month, tillerson said direct talks were not possible. And the United States has called for a meeting of the United Nations Security Council today. America will not be asking for any kind of resolution. Rather, were told, Ambassador Nikki Haley will brief other countries and once again ask china to step in and convince its ally north korea to back down. Now, theres so much happening here. Its astonishing what we have to gloss over. President trump yesterday completely reversed himself on nafta, one of his Major Campaign promises was to tear it up. But he said the of mexico and the pm of canada talked him out of it. And Jeff Sessions this morning said he would recuse himself from any prosecution of our former National Security adviser who is accused of taking money from the russians. Sessions will be on the today show announcing that coming up in just a minutes. As he ends his first 100 days, President Trump in that interview with reuters on thursday said this is more work than in my previous life. I thought it, the presidency, would be easier. Something most president s, even the best prepared, probably have thought as well. Thank you very much, scott. Scott, of course, examines the president s tweets, executive orders and speeches everying on today in the bay. He says its a twoway street. He would like to hear from you. Share your thoughts with him on twitter scottmcgrew. Something were excited about happening later today. Recognizing the great who volunteer in Santa Clara County.
