thank you so much for starting your saturday with us. i'm kira klapper. meteorologist vianey arana joins us with your micro climate forecast. girl, you said it'd be a sensational saturday. >> so pretty. i was talking to kira about that. she asked how the day was going to be. beautiful. a lot of sunshine expected. temperatures in the 40s and sta. 52 degrees in san francisco right now. san jose in the 40s. morganhill, low 40s. temperature trend into the afternoon, even if we get a couple clouds rolling through, the temperatures will warm up nicely. into those 70s. the wind speeds in the south bay will be calm, but if you're hanging out in san francisco, expect to see those breezy winds lingering. look at this, now from the west-northwest at 15 miles an hour. if you look at 2:00, we're going to be seeing the wind start to get a little gusty, as well, around the coastline. i'll talk more about the extended outlook in a few minutes. >> see you in about 15, vianey. thanks. we begin with a follow-up to the kidnapping case of brandon cuellar. yesterday, a judge denied bail for these suspects. they're accused of conspiring to take the baby boy. police found the baby 20 hours later. the lawyer for ramirez tells us he will seek a mental evaluation for her, and he may ask for a change of venue, possibly a gag order because of all the publicity surrounding the kidnapping. >> i can't say at this point whether that's going to be part of the strategy or request we'll make, but it is on the radar and i have not ruled it out at this point. >> ramirez's neighbor tells nbc bay area she has been acting strangely over the past month. adding that in the days before the kidnapping, they saw her walking around in a wig holding a baby carrier, even though she didn't have a baby. both suspects are due back in court next month. as we work to uncover more information about that kidnapping, we came across a small church that appears to be the link between the baby's family and the accused kidnappers. "today in the bay" reports on stunning information about a separate crime at that same church last year. >> reporter: inside the san jose home on south 2nd street, court documents show a disturbing and gruesome series of events last september. a child died, allegedly after hours of suffering at the hands of her mother. investigators say claudia hernandez told them she took her 3-year-old daughter to the makeshift church inside the 2nd street home because she believed the girl was possessed by an evil spirit. the video inside that church was posted on youtube. the child's grandfather serves as the church pastor. police say for the next 7 hours, he, along with the child's mother and an uncle, tried to force that evil spirit out. >> it makes me feel, you know, kind of sad because little baby, you know, they don't know anything about life. >> reporter: santiago garcia owns the property the congregation rents. he represents the september day the child was brought there. >> i went over there about 1:00 p.m., in the afternoon, and it seemed to me suspicious. they have all the windows and doors closed. i hear people praying and crying, you know, inside the church. >> reporter: garcia says he was told the girl was sick and had been brought in so church members could pray over here. but in court documents, investigators say the child's mother told police the night before her death that she began to believe the girl was possessed because the child would make up and scream or cry periodically. when she brought the child to the church, she and others spent hours trying to force her to throw up to expel the spirit. after more than 7 hours, the child stopped breathing. police say the suspects didn't perform medical assistance and didn't call 911 until 2 hours after the girl had died. >> i told them, you can't keep somebody dying in any place. you know, you have to ask for service. that's why the medical is there, hospitals. >> reporter: court documents show the mother told officers during the 24-hour period when she thought her daughter was possessed, she gave the girl nothing but water. >> that was audrey reporting for us. the preliminary cause of death is listed as suffocation. the child's mother was arrested and is in jail awaiting trial on charges of child abuse as a resulting in death. if convicted, she could face a life sentence. we have been posting the updates, the interviews and information related to the kidnapping on our bay area streaming app. roku, apple tv, you'll find our must-see playlist for everything on this case. we continue to follow developing news out of san francisco, where police are looking for a gunman who shot a man in the tenderloin. the victim is a volunteer ambassador, one of the many who patrol the neighborhood without any weapons to keep the streets safe. we are still working to find out his condition this morning. the shooting happened around 2:00 yesterday afternoon on turk street, not far from leavenworth. according to a law enforcement source, the victim works with urban alchemy, a non-profit organization that has a contract with the city of san francisco to help clean up the tenderloin streets. the volunteers are often called upon to de-escalate mental health situations and also to rescue people suffering from an overdose. today is national drug prescription take-back day. if you have old or expired prescriptions, it is the ideal event to get rid of them and keep them out of the wrong hands. you can drop off your prescriptions at any police station or v.a. across the bay area. the event allows people to drop off prescription drugs that are expired or just no longer needed. that includes opioids. no questions asked. turning now to covid news. cases of the virus are on the rise here in the bay area and across the country. in fact, two bay area counties have moved into the cdc's medium transmission tier. those are merin and santa cruz. "today in the bay's" thom jensen reports. >> reporter: the rate is up to almost 6% with almost 800 new cases. but what they're not seeing is the hospital beds fill up with covid papatients. especially the important icu beds for the most severe cases. in many cases, infection rates are higher now than they were at the height of the delta variant. officials say this ba.2 variant infecting most people now is not causing as many serious illnesses. >> peak of delta, we had 10 in the icu in marin county. now, we have 6 total in the hospital and none in the icu. >> reporter: despite the infectious nature of this variant, many people are feeling safer now about being out in public, even maskless. >> i think it is pretty safe. hospitalization and death rates are low, so i think it is looking upwards for the world and everyone as a whole. >> reporter: it took a lot to get there after he lost his father to covid in 2021. for a long time, it seemed like things may never turn around. >> it did for a while, especially when things were crazy in the pandemic. now, i think the outlook is much different. >> reporter: one of the bay areas top experts on covid said she started to return to a more normal lifestyle despite a rise in cases in some areas. >> i have two children who are vaccinated. i'm vaccinated and boosted. we have been living. i'll tell you that i was on planes last week when they dropped the mask mandate. not many people are masking on planes. >> reporter: some people are ready to drop the masks and rely on testing and keeping small circles until they feel more comfortable that the worst of covid is behind us for good. >> i worked in the public, and so i don't know where everyone has been. it's better to just be safe than sorry, for now at least. >> reporter: with large gatherings for proms, mother's day, and graduations here and on the horizon, marin's health leader is warning people to be wise about masking and getting tested before those big get togethers. >> they're easy available. they're accurate in terms of, you know, if it is positive, treat it as a positive result. >> reporter: thom jensen, "today in the bay." the california teachers association is standing with east bay teachers who went on strike. many of the striking teachers in oakland and their students attended a block party at the lake yesterday instead of going to zool. they're blasting the district's plan to close or consolidate 11 oakland schools. the district says the closures are necessary because of the declining enrollment and budgetary issues. but teachers argue the closures would disproportionately impact black and brown communities. the district says yesterday's strike was illegal and only hurts students. the teachers union adamantly denies that claim. turning now to the war in ukraine. the uk's ministry of defense says russia is struggling to make gains in its combat operation in the east of ukraine. it has been forced to merge and redeploy units from the failed advances in northern and eastern ukraine. plus, a former u.s. marine has been killed in all the fighting. 22-year-old willy cancer was fighting for a private military contractor when he was killed. his family tells cnn that cancel believed in defending ukraine. he was married with a 7-month-old son. in kyiv, people are clearing the rubble after a deadly russian missile strike earlier this week. russia says it was targeting a defense plant. the missile struck a factory and apartment building. the attack came during a visit from the u.n. secretary general.

lifted to the hospital. we are told no one else was hurt. pg&e said there was no release of natural gas. white house communications director kate bedingfield has tested positive for covid-19. she's just the latest in a string of high-ranking officials in the biden administration to test positive. bedingfield says her symptoms are mild and that the president is not considered a close contact. with so many people testing positive for covid recently, there is something that can help. anti-viral drugs. clinics here in the bay area are playing an important role in testing those medications. carbon health for one is running a trial right now in oakland. they are testing mulnupiravir, a drug for people with mild or moderate covid symptoms. it received emergency use authorization. more should be done to raise awareness about the drugs because many people qualify for the treatments. even if your clinic doesn't carry a covid pill, more pharmacies are starting to have them available. starting today, bart service between south hayward and union city will be closed due to a major track replacement. crews will be replacing a nearly 50-year-old track. ac transit will provide free bus

right now. great weather to head up to lake tahoe. you don't have to worry about travel conditions, at least not this weekend. let's take a look at it how the sierra snow pack is doing. right about 32% of statewide average. still pretty low. if do you didn't know, the sierra snow pack makes up a big chunk of california's water supply, about a third. during the spring and susummer, all that melts, and it fills up our rivers and heading into the reservoirs. long-range outlook, we'll be dry and windy today. rain chances, we're kind of staying with the system to the north passing by which could bring drizzle. as far as rain, rain goes, not expecting any in the outlook. look at this. by monday, again, chance of morning drizzle, the majority of that system looks like it'll stay to the north. then we warm back up. the biggest impact heading into monday, it is going to be a little bit of a cooldown. kira, back to you. >> a little drizzle there. thanks, vianey. it is 7:21. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a vision that years ago was a way to help feed the hungry and combat climate change, and it's succeeded all expectations. it'll make you bay area

>> reporter: my first met re-plate's founder and ceo six years ago, fresh out of berkeley, just getting re-plate off the ground. >> you can smell it from here. >> reporter: he showed his personal vehicle which he used in the beginning to make deliveries himself. in the year since, re-plate has grown but also faced a share of challenges. not the least of which the two-year pandemic that prevented them from delivering to their usual partners. he says his small, agile team pivoted quickly. >> similar to uber and doordoor, we did it directly to home rather than non-profits. >> reporter: re-plate is back to delivering to places like city team san francisco. they have in their history supplied more than 3 million pounds of high-quality, nutritious food to those in need, but they may just be poised to grow much, much bigger. just this year, a new california law, sb 1383 went into effect, which requires organizations to reduce the amount of organic waste they produce. donating excess food to re-plate helps them accomplish that. what is more, keeping the greenhouse-producing waste out of landfills can reduce the impact of climate change. >> you can see, there's so many factors to what we're working on. i think that's what makes me and our amazing team continuously excited to work. >> reporter: food for thought from people turning unwanted food into a valuable resource. >> garvin thomas reporting for us. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay," including new twists in the kidnapping case out of san jose. coming up, we have exclusive details about the disturbing death of a child at a church connected to the kidnapping suspect. and these cards triggering a warning for parents to dangerous drugs hidden inside. how police got to them before a teenager did. this is elodia. she's a recording artist. 1 of 10 million people that comcast has connected to affordable internet in the last 10 years. and this is emmanuel, a future recording artist, and one of the millions of students we're connecting throughout the next 10. through projectup, comcast is committing $1 billion so millions more students, past... and present, can continue to get the tools they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities. good morning. it is saturday, april 30. the last day of the month as we take a live look outside at 7:30. the sun is shining down on the oakland athletics coliseum, where they play the cleveland guardians today at 1:07 p.m. looks like a beautiful day to get out for some baseball. i'll be at the giants game. thank you so much for starting your day with us. i'm kira klapper. meteorologist vianey arana joins us with a look at your micro climate forecast. you say it'll be a great one. >> for baseball, it'll be breezy and windy at times, so we'll see how that plays out into the afternoon. we will get a lot of sunshine today. beautiful view of san francisco, although if you're near the golden gate bridge, you're probably going to is see some of that fog cover around the coastline and half moon bay, as well. 49 in redwood city. the 24-hour temperature change is showing decent warmup compared to the past 24 hours. look at oakland, running about 9 degrees warmer. 5 degrees warmer through san jose. even warmer through napa, about 9 degrees. fog and visibility, as we mentioned, we have fog around the coastline near half moon bay. the city, 5 miles visibility. in the afternoon, we're expecting dry weather and sunshine. i'll talk about the changes in my full forecast. >> vianey, thanks. we begin with a follow-up to the kidnapping case of 3-month-old brandon cuellar. yesterday, a judge denied bail for suspects, ramirez and sandoval, accused of taking the baby who was taken while his grandmother unloaded groceries. he was found 20 hours later. the lawyer for ramirez says he will seek a mental evaluation for his client, and he may ask for a change of venue, possibly even a gag order because of all the publicity surrounding the kidnapping. >> i can't say at this point whether that's going to be part of the strategy or request we'll make, but it is on the radar and i have not ruled it out at this point. >> ramirez's neighbor tells nbc bay area she has been acting strangely over the past month. adding that in the days before the kidnapping, they saw her walking around in a wig holding a baby carrier, even though she didn't have a baby. both suspects are due back in court next month. as we work to uncover more information about that kidnapping, we came across a small church that appears to be the link between the baby's family and the accused kidnappers.

the delta variant. but health leaders say this ba.2 variant that is infected most people now is not causing as severe of an illness. turning now to the california teachers association. it is standing with east bay teachers who went on strike. many of the teachers in oakland and their students went to a block party yesterday instead of going to school. they are blasting the district's plan to close or consolidate 11 oakland schools. the district says declining enrollment and budgebudgetary i make the closures necessary. teachers argue it'd disproportionately impact black and brown students. >> there's plenty of other places they could be cutting funds from. for instance, consultants, folks at the central office, the rent for the building at 1000 broadway. >> the district said yesterday's

with eyes in the sky. the company called skydio makes drones someone can launch from their backpack. it'll follow them as they go paddleboarding or mountain biking. the $1,000 drone does the piloting, takes pictures, and can return to the owner. the ceo says the drones could also be used to follow a russian tank, which means the ukrainians want as many of these as they can get. >> we have an assembly line behind me where we're building the drones and building the controllers. we are the largest u.s. company in the space and operating at significant scale. we're doing everything we can to increase our capacity and manufacturing to get more drones to the folks that need them in ukraine right now. >> skydio drones are made here in the bay area. the ceo tells us ukrainians trust them more than the leading brand of drones, which are made in china. that same company offered flight lessons to young women from the all girls academy this past week in richmond. female engineers from the

ramirez, accused of conspiring to kidnap brandan cuellar. he was taken while his grandmother unloaded groceries. police found him 20 hours later. ramirez's lawyer says he'll seek a mental evaluation order for his client and may ask for a change of venue because of the publicity surrounding the kidnapping. ramirez's neighbors say she'd been acting strangely the last month, saying in the days before the kidnapping, they saw her walking around in a wig holding a baby carrier, even though she doesn't have a baby. both suspects are due back in court next month. vianey has one last check of
