Seat. You dont like the middle seat, do you. I dont like it but i will give the aisle seat to my wife. Good for you, sal. A company trying to change the way that you think about the middle seat. It is pushed back a few inches so everyone can have arm space. It also is bigger than the aisle and window seat. And has a bigger tv monitor. The middle seat now cups with benefits. Still not sold. Bigger tv for the people next to you watching. It makes it better but not as good as the other seats. I still dont want that seat. I know we need to get to the news. Window or aisle. It depends on the length of the flight. A long one, i prefer the aisle. Window. Lean against the window. Want to show you the live shot of sfo. We think alike. Long flight, i have to have the aisle. Got to have the aisle. Yes. Changes tomorrow, not today, guys. A lot of high clouds. Sun breaks if there. Temperatures will be mild. Mostly cloudy mild to warm. Wind and rain tomorrow evening. And then off and on rain plus cooler temps taking us into saturday. Sunday looks okay. Much, much cooler than right now. Just want to make sure that everybody is up to date. Rainfall could exceed 4 inches for some locations. This is if everything comes together. It is april. This would be a significant storm for april. If it was january or february, its a slam dunk. Once you get to april, you dont see a system like this very often. Theres going to be a lot of snow. Ive seen two pro generals of 46 to 48 inches of snow up in the sierra between tomorrow and saturday. So if that all comes together, youre talking feet. Rain and wind tomorrow. Not today. Tomorrow. Your timeline will be pretty quiet tomorrow. Then after about the noon hour, things pick up. After 6 00 now 10 00 to early friday morning is the main time. But tomorrow morning should be all right. Might be a little drizzle and light rain because of the system come in. The first one will weaken considerably. There is a little bit overnight. Coastal drizzle. After that comes through, here comes the main one. Here is 5 00. Then it sweeps through. Thats 8 00. It will be extremely windy for many tomorrow. Certainly a high wind watch out and a high wind warning i would imagine. Then it arrives late thursday night and into friday. Snow levels drop behind that. Another piece of energy coming in friday night. Right there. Friday afternoon, friday night. That one as well will be windy. That doesnt mean thats where the rain will be. Thats what the forecast model says. By saturday, things should be a lot better but some rain in the mix. We have about three days. The only thing missing from the system is really a bundle of cold air. Theres a lot of moisture, tremendous amount for this time of year. Also strong jetstream helping to send that along. Sending it along is a lot of high clouds. Thats it for today. It will be be a mild and muggy day to the south. It will be busy tomorrow. Today is the day to get out and do things. Take that Patio Furniture in. If you thought the rain was over, claudine wong, its not. I didnt say it was over. I was just enjoying the break. We get a break today and then not tomorrow. Thanks, steve. You bet. Alameda county officials have identified a third victim from last weeks deadly fire in west oakland. The Coroners Office says 41 yearold wilson is one of the four people who died in the transitional housing complex on san pablo avenue. The name of the fourth victim has not been released because relatives have not been notified yesterday. Anderson and robertson were the other two People Killed in the fire. This morning a temporary shelter in oakland set up for survivors of the deadly Apartment Fire will close. Alex savidge is live now at the west Oakland Youth Center with more on what is next for the people staying at the shelter. Alex. Reporter sal, good morning to you. Many of the people forced out by the fire are preparing right now, packing up their belongings and getting ready to leave the temporary shelter. Many have been here since the fire last monday. But the city of oakland and red cross, they are promising to get folks help down the road, finding permanent Housing Solutions. Let me show you the shelter here. Were just across the street. It has been set up at the west Oakland Youth Center since the devastating fire. A total of 11 people stayed here last night. This was the last night that the shelter will be operating. Initial leer 70 people checked in here after being forced out of their apartments last monday by this massive fire at an Apartment Building on san pablo avenue just a few blocks away. The fire killed four people and destroyed that building, which offered Transitional Housing Services for recovering drug addicts and those who were homeless. I talked with one survivor of the fire and he said that he and his wife are trying to get help as they try to find a new place to leave. We got an apartment yesterday. Took it out of my relief fund. I took it out of there. Me and my girl, were moving forward. I like to work. Im going to keep pushing. Im not going to let me set this back. What is next for the people where housing is so expensive . That has become more and more a challenge. Our case workers from red cross and city try to work closely to find out what is the right solution for each family. Theyre different for every singlefamily. Reporter and with the sky rocketing rent prices in the east bay, that is a concern that many residents have, trying to find a play that is equally as affordable as the one lost in the fire. The shelter was only meant to be a temporary solution. Now the youth center really needs the space back for the kids who are on spring break here in this community. City Officials Say they will be working on longterm Housing Solutions for all of the people left homeless by this fire. One of the ways they are doing that is by setting up an Assistance Center at the plaza right outside of city hall in downtown oakland. Between 10 00 a. M. And 7 00 p. M. , people can go there to that Assistance Center and get connected with various services. And that will be set up every day between now and friday. So anyone who is impacted by that fire can go there for help. Alex savidge live for us this morning. Thank you we are starting to hear from some of the First Responders who were called to the scene of that deadly fire last month. Ktvus Paul Chambers talked with some of them about what they remember from that early morning. Im extremely proud of them. Very, very young crew. Reporter these four men were just some of the oakland firefighters who risked their lives, saving people from the burning building on san pablo avenue the march of morning 27th. We were asleep all upstairs. It was about 5 00 in the morning or so. I was asleep in my bunk. The tone came in. We hear those bells and we know its time to work. Reporter many from station 1 were familiar with the building that housed nearly 100 people. As crews approached. I could smell it from blocks away. You could see the embers in the air. As soon as we stepped off the truck, people were yelling that there were people trapped. We want to see if there are any rescues. Always want to save lives. Reporter the scene was chaotic as people inside the building that serves as transitional housing was going up in flames. They had tied sheets together like in the cartoons and they were trying to make a rope to literally climb down on a sheet. Reporter the crew says this is what they train for as they quickly leaped into action. We pulled the fire escape down, tied it off and up we went to the second and third floor. I reached out and pulled the woman over the railing. Next was a gentleman that also reached out. And i pulled him. Reporter station 1 rescued 7 people from the burning building. All lives were not spared as four people died in the fire. When youre a firefighter, you want to save everybody. Its upsetting when you cant do that. Its a tragedy. We do everything that we can in our power to save as many people as we can. Reporter all together oakland firefighters saved more than 20 people that day. Knowing that some people didnt make it out alive will stay with the firefighters. You had lost life. Nothing special about us. We are nothing more than an usher. An usher to life. Reporter a humble group of firefighters. They say it comes with the territory and it is just their job. Paul chambers, ktvu fox 2 news. Theres an online petition against a halloween costume. It depicts the picture of a white brick wall with the words mexico will pay. Critics call it racist and asking amazon to take it down. Supporters say the costume is meant as a gag and should not be taken seriously. Amazon has not commented on the protest. Pepsi is under fire for the new ad featuring Kendall Jenner. [music] well, there you see jenner. She was actually walking through a crowd of protesters and handed the pepsi max to a Police Officer. After he drinks it, this is the scene. The protesters cheering. Now social media users upset with the depiction claiming pepsi is using the black lives Matter Movement and protests and other types of social injustice for commercial gape. They say it looks like this photo. That is protester evans last year in louisiana. She was detained after she approached police at a demonstration in baton rouge. Our question of the day is about that pepsi commercial. Do you think the ad is disrespectful . Yes, no or you dont care either way. Lets check out the poll results so far this morning. As you can see, 42 say yes. 13 say no. 45 say you dont care at all. Also a lot of chatter out there on social media commenting about it. Alex ortiz says if people get disrespected with a hollywood production, there is something wrong with them. I saw the ad. I can see how people find it disrespectful. Pepsi should have invested in a focus group before launching the ad. Another viewer says who drinks pepsi and five must be nobody if they had to put her in their ad. Thank you for the responses. We will check more responses at 9 30 and we will talk more about the backlash this ad is receiving. Reach us always with ktvuthenine. We want to take a closer look how the city of San Francisco is doing since it does not have an nfl stadium over the last few years. Up next, San Francisco supervisor mark farrell joining us live in studio. Well, back in 2006, the San Francisco 49ers proposed constructing a new stadium at Candlestick Point the site of the existing home candlestick park. It would have included retail space and housing improvements to the neighborhood. But negotiations with the city fell through and then the team focused their attention further south. In 2011 a construction loan was secured and the following april work on levis stadium began. It officially opened in 2014 and home to super bowl 50. Now that the raiders have been given the green light it move out of oakland, could be a positive or negative for the city. To talk about how San Francisco is faring without an envelope stadium, mark farrell is joining us with the stadium. Is San Francisco better . I think we miss a team in San Francisco without a doubt. Someone born and raised in San Francisco, i remember going to candlestick but the civic pride when you have a city and a team together. Of course winning super bowls always helps. Sure. I remember those times when we won the super bowl and everybody got out of their cars and honked their horns. 81. Civic pride. We miss them. The 49ers will always be the San Francisco 49ers. There wont be another team coming over to the west side of the bay. We miss them in townment obviously with the team having the on field issues it has, its not as much of an issue in San Francisco. Once they get better, and they will, confident in the Management Team there. So you have the civic pride. But what about financially . The arrangement is that oakland will save a lot of money and put it into housing. Financially is the city better off without an nfl team. Every deal is different. What oakland had and the Alameda Coliseum Authority versus what happened in San Francisco, different structures. We lost a few Million Dollars a year because of parking revenue because park and rec land that the 49ers leased from us. What you see in the new stadiums you think about the giants and the warriors now. Everything is privately financed. Thats a whole different paradigm. It changes the neighborhoods. Had a new stadium been built at the old site, it would have done a lot for the neighborhood. Did you miss out on that. That is an argument. In San Francisco as we do in the bay area, we have a massive housing crisis. You have an entire neighborhood being built now instead of a stadium. We need more housing. So in that respect it is positive and will have benefits Going Forward in the future. It will still be a 49ers. Its a regional team. We need to stop thinking about borders and boundaries and think about the bay area as a whole and what is best for that part of San Francisco. Because like in new york, the jets and the giants play in new jersey. Nobody has a problem with it out there. Do you think that people will get used to the fact that theyre the niners even though theyre in santa clara. I think they will. We talked about that. The new york jets and giants play in new jersey. That is strange. But we were used to having a team in city. It is different though when youre talking about the raiders. Theyre going to vegas. Theyre not theyre not going down the road. Completely different. I think raider nation will feel much different effect than the 49 fan base. Our red and gold faithful did feel when the niners moved south. Where candlestick was, tell me a little more about what it will look like in five years, what it will look like in a year. Can everyone get in . Will there be Affordable Housing there. Absolutely. Lennar is building a new development. Homes are going on the market right now. It is being developed in phases. It is an incredible new neighborhood. One thing that the city of San Francisco needs is more housing. So that will solve a big need for the city of San Francisco. It doesnt erase the fact that sports teams bring civic pride to our cities. That is the hardest part to prove, it is hard to measure. If you do dollars and cents and bottom line, which oakland looked at that and does it make financial sense. How do you measure civic pride with the cost. Thats a good question. What oakland was looking at, do we spend taxpayer dollars to fund a new stadium. Thats a tough question. And i remember when the giants had their privately financed stayed up, other cities were worried that would become the trend. That has become the trend. The city doesnt have to be on the hook. Cities dont pay for that sort of stuff anymore, do they. Nevada is giving the raiders taxpayer dollars. Would you ever do that in San Francisco. Absolutely not. Do you think it is a bad deal. Not looking at all of the details. I dont want to put myself in the place of nevada. Thank goodness i live in San Francisco. To spend 750 million of taxpayer dollars when we have so many other issues from housing to homelessness and other issues, i dont think that would be a prudent choice of funds. We have the luxury of not having that problem. We have investment of private dollars and it is paying off. The giants just paid off their loan. The warriors coming to town will be a big boom. We have forward thinking ownership groups willing to invest those type of dollars in the city. Are you going to run for mayor down the road. We will take a look. Thats not a no. Thats not a no. Mark farrell, supervisor in San Francisco. Thank you. Coming up on the nine, a 4 monthold baby girl missing from the city of Mountain View. The search underway for her and her father. My sweethearts gone sayonara. This scarf all thats left to rememb. What. She washed this like a month ago the long lasting scent of gain.

New information and a new photo of a father accused of taking his 40 4monthold baby. Leigh martinez is joining us live from Mountain View as investigators search for the baby and the father. Reporter yes. The suspect is the father, michael walle. N from patterson. He was here to visit with his daughter yesterday. They were staying at the residence inn. Thats where the visitation took place. There was an argument between the mother and father. Wallen took off with the daughter. The mother tried to grab her but she was dragged a short distance by the car. She freed herself and was uninjured. But her adult son then went after them. The adult son of the mother followed the father. And he brake checked the son, causing a collision. And then drove off. Reporter the father and daughter disappeared before 8 30 yesterday evening. Madelyn is 4 years old. She has brown air and hazel eyes. She was wearing a white top and pink ballerina outfit. Michael wallin is 62, 220 pounds and was wearing a warriors tshirt. He has full body tattoos, including the tops of his hands. They are trying in a 2007 Nissan Altima fourdoor with front and back collision damage. The mother and father were not married so the custody is with the mother. And she wanted to take her daughter back. This is why they are calling it an abduction. Chp has not issued an amber alert but they do have a statewide emergency bolo which is be on the look out. Just to clarify, if they say it is an abduction, why not call an amber alert . What is the criteria, i guess . Reporter well, police say at this time they havent received word from chp as to why they havent issued an amber alert. They know that she is with her father. She was last seen with her father. They do know where his residence is. They just have not been located. Leigh martinez live in Mountain View. Thank you. A man who police say has been inaprop realit leo inappropriately touching women on the muni train has been arrested. Women say he has been rubbing up on women and yelling obscenities at them. Four victims have come forward. The 45yearold man was arrested yesterday. His name has not been released. A proposal to keep kids younger than 12 out of Juvenile Hall and get them into a rehab center passed yesterday but not everyone thinks it is a good idea. She says it puts them in a system where they earn respect from older inmates for breaking the law. They need to be in an environment where Good Behavior is rewarded. It wouldnt keep all out of jail but children could be put in other facilities like group homes. Coming up next, credit cards only.

It really comes down to he fired at the officers. There were many shots fired by him. I saw him drive by at a normal speed. When he got to the Police Officers, he didnt stop for them and they started firing at him. The car slammed into a tree and the driver died at the scene. The West Park School just two blocks away went into lockdown and students had to stay late until police gave them the all clear. No one at the school was hurt. Several officers on scene were cut my flying glass and metal. A manhunt continues in the east bay for the man accused of killing his exgirlfriend in front of two of her children. Franklin was driving two of her three children to school yesterday morning. A neighbors surveillance camera recorded a silver mercedes pulling up and blocking her path. Then witnesses identified her estranged boyfriend, 43year old mcbride walking out of that mercedes and arguing with franklin and shooting her. A neighbor later came back and walked her two sons away from the vehicle for their protection. He said i miss my mama. He killed my mama. And i miss my sunshine. Thats what he calls his mom. Franklins family says she was in Cosmetology School and she was in a relationship with mcbride for about a year. He had been stalking her says the family. Henry lee was one of the first on the story yesterday. A horrific story. What do we know about the suspect. We know that he might still be driving this Mercedes Benz s are 550. They have not found him. They have not found him. It has paper plates. Anyone who saw mcbride or his car or knows where he is Call Richmond Police at once. Criminal record or anything about his history. There has been a history of domestic disputes between the victim and mcbride. But it does not appear to be a restraining order against him in the case. The fact that there are not plates on the car, will it make it harder to find him. Yes. But they know the vehicle and hopefully know the vin and there is an all points bulletin for him all around the bay area. Was he worried about her safety. To the point that the system of the victim reported that the suspect had visited her asking where is the victim. And so when youre following a target and, you know, accosting family members, demanding to know where she is, that is stalking behavior. So scary with the children. Was there any thought that they were i mean, whenever the shooting starts, people are in danger. Was it targeted towards the childrens safety. We know that mcbride is not the father of the two young sons. And although they may not be physically harmed, clearly the psychological trauma is beyond explanation. There are pretty significant penalties if one of mcbrides friends or family members is helping hide him. If that comes out, they are facing jail time as well. Right. There is a charge called being an accessory after the fact. If you are harboring mr. Mcbride, the police will certainly arrest you. And you will be going through the Justice System as well. This seems to be one of the cases that involve children. You talk about how traumatic it is for the children. Loss of life. When youre talking to police, it seems like there are cases that really hit police harder and they are more determined than ever to bring this to a resolution. You cant even imagine what the children are going through, the witnesses, the Police Officers who saw these two sons crying from the back seat. I mean, we saw some very terrible images of the victim in the car. It is something that no one should have to see. Thank you, henry. We appreciate it. New pepsi ad featuring Kendall Jenner causing a lot of online controversy. Shows her at a photo shoot before joining a crowd of protesters and handing a pepsi to a Police Officer. People say it is disrespectful to the black lives Matter Movement and other protests. So what do you think . Disrespectful or not . That has been the question of the day for you. Were going to check our poll results right now. 42 say yes. 14 say no. 44 say you just dont care. A lot of chatter out there on social media as well. Comments. Sal, what are you seeing. Lars, the wanderer on twitter says not disrespectful but tone deaf and cheap pan dering. It was clumsy. Everyone cares or everybody cares just with different opinions but hoping to look at it more positively. All right. The conversation continues right now. Just make sure to use ktvuthenine on twitter. For more on the backlash were joined by psychologist kit yarro. I saw the ad. The first thing that stood out to me was that they were definitely trying to make a social statement with this set. It is still an ad about pepsi but they are trying to get into this protest movement and saying that pepsi can be part of it. Yeah. You know, soft drinks dont have that much to say on their behalf. So what they really want to feel like is that theyre part of culture. Theyre so engrained in our community in some way and so much a part of us that they connect us in some way. You can see what their intention was. I agree with the person who tweeted in, it was totally tone deaf. The image of Kendall Jenner handing the can of pepsi to the Police Officer is strikingly similar to evans, the woman in baton rouge, louisiana who is walking up to officers here and she is subsequently arrested calmly. But that image is very close. Do you think that pepsi intentionally did that or do you think that it was just a big mistake on their part . Oh, i think it was very intentional. I really feel like they probably had this idea that they would draw on historical moments of people coming together and they would be the connector. It didnt hit the mark. Partly because you have this 1 white women being the connector instead of the many more compelling characters that are featured in that ad. Do you think that pepsi, you know, could have one of our viewers said why didnt they do a focus group . This is being panned on twitter and facebook pretty much universally. Why wouldnt they put it out on a focus group before releasing it to the public. Really good question. Im sure they did test aspects of it. They probably tested. Sometimes they will test a character like whether or not kendall is a compelling character. They will test a theme. Then when it comes together, all of the parts didnt work in unison. And its not only Kendall Jenner but they show you know, they show protesters of all races carrying signs. Here is another thing, do you think that pepsis Ad Department could benefit from having more people of color in their Ad Department that would tell them this feels kind of like it is missing the mark . Yeah. That is definitely a complaint against ads and marketers in general, that there isnt enough representation of not just different demographics but different points of view. And so, you know, they rely on testing which isnt always done in the way where youre going to yield the most effective results or theyre done based on this is what we think in house. And so theres so many ways to improve the advertising model, i think. Well, i will add that not everyone thought it was some people are saying were making too much ado about nothing. But a number said it was tone deaf. Kit yarro, thank you for helping us talk about this moment. Thanks, sal. Good to he so you. Were learning about a major shakeup at the white house. President trump has removed stephen bannon. He was elevated to the National Security councils Principles Committee at the beginning of of the trump presidency. It drew concerns from critics who said it was inappropriate for the political adviser to play a role on National Security matters. It was a long night on the floor of the senate where merkley talked for more than 15 hours, just stopping a couple hours ago to show opposition to gorsuch. Political analysts say this is not technically a filibuster because he wasnt delaying anything. But democrats have vowed to block the vote to confirm gorsuch. Republicans say if that happens, they are going to change accept at rules and approve gorsuch with just a simple majority. It is still possible that republicans and democrats will work out a deal. Both sides are weary of the unintended consequences of changing the way that the senate operations. Republicans are also gearing up to Pass Health Care legislation. Conservative republicans met with mike pence last night. Members of the Freedom Caucus want a full repeal of obamacare.

For analysis and perspective, ktvu interviewed the white house chief of staff during the Clinton Administration and was the defense secretary under president obama. He says that in his 50 years of politics, this is the most divisive he has seen talking about the republicans and the democrats. I think that kind of part tan ship is poisoning our democracy and the inability of the president and congress to Work Together to resolve the many issues facing this country i think is of great concern to the future of our democracy. Well, he now runs the institute for Public Policy which is a Nonpartisan Center at cal state monterey bay. Tune in ktvu tonight at 7 00 and the 10 00 news on ktvu. The two discuss a host of Critical Issues that range from russias involvement in the u. S.

Now the bbb is launching a free mobile app that will let people text businesses free of charge. So far it is launching in los angeles as well as Silicon Valley with more cities to come. For more were joined by steve mac farland. Good morning. Thank you for coming in. Tell us how this works. What can we do so we dont sit on hold and were not frustrated and annoyed. For a hundred years, bbb has been around and we have adapted a lot of tools to merge consumers with businesses and vice versa. Software and other tools and snail mail, a lot of different types of tools. Today it is bbb now. It is allowing you an easy method to be able to communicate on your smart phone, android or iphone with businesses directly and businesses back to you with no waiting online, no mail, and no waiting for an email. I love the idea. Where did this idea come from. It came from we had a restaurant and we saw that people were coming in. When they needed us, they had to call or email. And you cant hear them over the noise. And if they email, it is too late. They already made plans. We have a cell phone. They have a cell phone. Why not just text. It is more efficient. As a business you cant just receive a text. You need tools. Lets build the tools. When you send a text to a business, we can send it to multiple people via email. The business can respond via e mail or connect with the help desk or to the Business Owners cell phone. We give a way to respond to you. So the modern day receptionist, instead of answering phones will be answering texts. Yes. Absolutely. Steve, is it the bbbs responsibility to bring people together . Its our responsibility of course to protect consumers subpoena make them have a voice. Right. To be able to communicate. We foster trust in ethics and commerce. We have been doing that for over a hundred years. With this tool, businesses can create business with just texting with consumers. Bring me another drink to the beach or give me another quote, i would like to order this. A great communication between the two quickly. It sounds great. If i text a business, i think youre going there, now that they have my number, im not going to be getting ads from them. Right. So theres some privacy involved. Ill let you talk about the privacy issues. We protect the consumers information. And we monitor the ability of the business to send you texts back. They can only respond you can have a twoway conversation but they cant spam you. If they do, we can block them from the network. Here is the other question. It is only as good as the interaction. Are all of the bbb members on board to say were going to if they dont text back, people quickly will say, i dont know, i can text them but i it is terrible. It is terrible. Yelp says this business responds in x amount of hours. How much commitment are you getting from the business side of this to say yes this is what we want too. The commitment so far in just the early few days of the launch has been very good. A lot of companies have signed up and a lot of interest on the consumer end. The way that you like to communicate with your family and friends is via text. So its just one more really cool tool to be able to make that happen. So in addition to all of the other methods to communicate with companies, now you can text. We think over the next few months as we grow in california and the west coast and gradually the united states. I like the grade system with the bbb. Am i going to get go from a b to a b plus if im a Business Owner and im engaged with this . It wont affect your grade at all. That is solely on your certificate are performance as you relate to consumers. But the Companies Engaging in the program will be more available to consumers. And we hope they go to bbbnow. Org and sign up today. We do have more information about bbb now on our own website, ktvu. Com. Look for it in the web links section under the mornings on 2 tab and find it on the ktvu mobile app. Thank you for coming in and speaking to us about this. Congratulations.
