It comes as propalestinian groups organize bay area rallies tied to may day. The growing concerns that this could impact your commute, plus parking crackdown. San francisco is getting tough on violators and promising more enforcement. Were live this morning with those differences. You may notice the next time you drive in the city. This this is today in the bay all right, here we go. Vroom, vroom. Wednesday here we come. I want to say good morning to you all. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your morning. Im Marcus Washington and im kris sanchez laura garcia is off. Mike is going to keep track of Vroom Vroom Vroom vroom. Hopefully you dont get any tickets marcus. Thats a lot of room there okay. Here. Hes watching for that forecast. And the weather looks great. I mean, this morning were starting out. Nice Cool Temperatures and the sky is all clear. No issues with visibility. So we havent seen any fog rolling around. And as we take a look at four of our microclimates in oakland right now were at 48 degrees. It is 51 in san jose and 50 in san rafael and in San Francisco. The wind a little bit breezy now. Its going to become gusty again today. And cupertino will see temperatures in the low 50s at 8 00, low 60s at 10 00. You see how fast were going to see our highs headed for the mid 70s. Its going to warm up nicely with our temperatures in the upper 70s for the south bay, east bay, as well as the north bay and a few spots hitting the low 80s. So well keep an eye on that. Well talk more about it in just a few minutes. Mike takes us back to the crash in hayward. Yeah, were looking over here. Southbound 880 shows a general build here. The crash at tennyson. I had misread the report. Honestly so instead of four vehicles, it is one vehicle on the right shoulder. There so not as much of a distraction around tennyson. Were watching. The classification officially says theres not a lot of detail, so were just tracking mild slowing, a mild build for the area. It doesnt look like theres much impact miles slowing here, as well as the first burst of traffic through san jose eases off for north 101. The second will kick in in about 40 minutes. Down there. No major problems out of the east, out of the Altamont Pass in the dublin interchange moves very smoothly. Typical slowing for Contra Costa County. Here for highway four. Same thing for highway 37 and the build through richmond toward the bay bridge. Back to you. Thank you mike. Developing this morning Palestinian Protesters are organizing a new round of bay area protests to mark todays may day tradition of recognizing laborers. Rallies and demonstrations are expected at all of these different locations around the bay area, including San Francisco, oakland and san jose. This includes both the 24th street and west oakland bart stations, golden gate park, san joses Mcenery Convention center, and the Sonoma County sheriffs office. As we have seen in recent weeks, protests have severely impacted commuters as they headed to work last month. Youll remember demonstrators shut down the Golden Gate Bridge and lanes along 880 in oakland, and those incidents led to hours long backups for drivers. At this point, none of the demonstrations appear to be quite as large in scope. However, in the past, proPalestinian Protesters have not announced plans to shut down bay area highways and bridges ahead of the incidents. A new developments this morning in the middle east crisis here and abroad and in Southern California overnight, violent new clashes involving College Protesters from each side overseas. Secretary of state Antony Blinken is sitting down with israels Prime Minister. And today in the bays brie jackson is live in washington covering all of this. Lets start with what we know about the ucla clashes. Those really escalated overnight. Bree thats right. Good morning chris. So we saw a chaos playing out overnight amid dueling protests on uclas campus late last night. Proisraeli demonstrators surrounded a propalestinian encampment on campus. Those proisraeli protesters, many wearing white masks and flags around their shoulders, then attempted to dismantle all the encampment at points, shooting fireworks and using what some believe to be bear or pepper spray. The propalestinian group then used umbrellas to shield themselves. Police responded, and around 2 a. M. Officers managed to separate the two rival protest groups. The mayor of los angeles is among those condemning the violence. Meanwhile, on new york citys columbia campus, nypd officers arrested dozens of palestinian supporters occupying an academic hall. Now, heres new video of the scene. There when police moved in, activists had barricaded themselves inside the schools hamilton hall. And its it adds to the 200 or so arrests already made this week on the columbia campus. The mayor and police now claim many of the latest arrests involve socalled outside agitators who dont even attend columbia. And then this video from city college of new york is where police also clashed with palestinian supporters. This also led to dozens of arrests. Police say activists there tried to take over an administration building. Now, police so far have not identified any of those arrested or nor are they offering details on possible charges as of yet. Well, fortunately, here in the bay area, most of the campus protests have been largely peaceful. But we also want to talk about whats happening between those two major allies in the effort to try to come to some sort of resolution about the war. Thats right. So us secretary of state Antony Blinken and israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu launched a round of face to face talks overnight. The. Heres video of when the two when the pair met back in march. The Us State Department says these closed door talks surround the ceasefire proposal in gaza as part of a hostage deal. Blinken is also accusing hamas of standing in the way of that deal. Humanitarian aid for gaza is also part of todays talks. Now the meeting follows a phone call this week between netanyahu and President Biden, where the us advised against invading the city of rafah, where tens of thousands of palestinians are still seeking shelter. Now, netanyahu is still vowing to do so with or without a ceasefire deal. So many moving parts. Thank you very much, bri. 606 for you this morning. And if you drive in San Francisco at all, listen up, because starting today, a Police Crackdown on parking violators today in the bays Ginger Conejero saab in the city for us this morning. Okay, so, ginger, i know a lot of folks. Its hard to find parking there in the city and they try to make their own spots. So what kind of crackdown are we talking about here . I know thats the tough part, marcus, and you know that. Well, anybody whos been in the city knows that. Well, there are multiple signs, which means there are more than one rule that you could possibly break. And it is can be quite confusing. And starting today, be forewarned, enforcement is stepping up. Now. City Officials Say they are focusing on cars that are blocking sidewalks. Any vehicles that block those crosswalks as well. The bottom line they say sidewalks need to be clear for pedestrians to use them safely. And for the First Time Since the pandemic, the department is staffed to target these vehicles. Sfmta director Jeffrey Tumlin spoke last month about parking behavior in the city since the pandemic. Given the scarcity of parking control officers that we have faced for several years, there are people who think that the rules dont exist. So we want to make sure that we get the word out that we are finally able to start enforcing all of the rules. It puts the target on our back, and we definitely plan on seeing the aggression, the aggression from the public to come out with that message. And that was someone who works for sfmta, he says they are already facing aggression from upset drivers. This could make things worse. Parking tickets in the city for blocking a Pedestrian Crossing or a residential parking garage can range from over 80 to over 100 for each citation. Those numbers range depending on the type of violation, of course, not to mention the late penalties that can add to those missed payments. Just in case you forget that you did something wrong, or broke a rule, or didnt even realize that you, you know that you may have done that now, those are not the only violations that will be enforced. Each district in the city can also expect a week long sweep every three months. So do the math with those parking tickets and the amount of enforcement. And thats a adds up to a lot. Marcus. So watch out. Yeah. And were already talking about making it in the bay. Well those tickets are going to make it harder too. So be mindful of those new rules and extra patrol. All right. Thanks, ginger. Well, a new small step. This is in a push to recall alameda countys embattled district attorney. But her opponents are saying its still falling short. Supervisors last night voted to certify the petition to recall pamela price, but they fell short on declaring an election date that will be announced on may 14th. Now, two weeks from now. Now earlier in the day, price claimed that outside money is actually fueling the opposition, calling her recall push misleading and based on lies. Well, last night, people on both sides of the aisle weighed in on that issue. The special election will alleviate some of the losses that still can happen right now with her directors there putting on her the burden of eight years ago and even 30 years ago, like come in immediately, da pam and just wipe away crime. Make us safe. The Board Members are still considering the cost of holding a special election, which could approach 20 million. Some argue adding it to the November Ballot would save money late last night, price issued a statement that was in part covered those added costs, saying, quote, the county already faces a 54 million budget gap and the boards decision could add 20 million more debt to that shortfall. This is irresponsible. A special election should not even be on the table. Taking a live look out our window over san jose and some of those clouds look like theyre drooping just a little bit, this is the best. Its going to be before the weekend gets here, right . Yeah. These next few days we better enjoy it. We continue with sunshine and were going to see a lot more sun as we go throughout the day. And its also going to be windy at times. Theres a wind advisory that will be in effect for solano county, and then a breezy coast, as well as our inland temperatures was in the 70s and low 80s weekend. The rain returns will also have a big drop in temperatures that wind advisory for solano county, in effect also for the sacramento valley. And we may see some of those gusts up to 40mph today. Its been windy along the coastline, and were still going to see some of those gusty winds all throughout the day. So mike, two hands on the Steering Wheel as youre heading to the gas station. Yeah, exactly. But then when you get there then take your hands off and be careful with the pump. Were going to look at the prices at the pump. Santa clara south bays best is 475 at platinum gas on washington street. Contra costa county. The best price there is arco in concord, 489 at the shop on monument boulevard. Thats right near the costco, where they have the same price, and heading up to vallejo. Were heading up to 499 arco there on sonoma boulevard. Check those prices. Report those prices on gasbuddy. Com. On the roadways, were looking at a smooth flow. No surprises to report, really. As we zoom over toward the east bay. Were looking at a build for highway four, both directions over at san marco, same as yesterday. We have slowing on the bay bridge a little bit more. There as the volume builds, so does the build up on the overcrossing back to you. All right. Thanks, mike. Well, College Decision day is here. And while it is usually a reason to celebrate issues with Financial Aid this year are leaving High School Seniors in limbo. Up next, a glimmer of hope for some students applying to top bay area universities. Major car manufacturer owners say they are shocked and stunned. But wait, i have more dumbfounded. Stupefied, baffled, bewildered, aghast. Startled. Well tell you what its all about. Reading the source. Yeah, maybe you missed one. Im not also out to the futures this morning. Lets take a look at whats going on. The fed may make a major decision on Interest Rates today. Well go over that as well. And tiger woods already one of the greatest golfers of all time. But you know what. Now hes branching out so ahead for you this morning on today in the bay were going to tell you about a small biotech maker in menlo park, Pacific Biosciences has warned the state its going to lay off 195 people. Now, many of the job losses will actually be in san diego, not here. Starbucks generally speaking, says generally speaking, people are not spending as much at its stores. It blames slow sales in china. But were going to keep an eye on this one because people not spending money on expensive coffee can be a sign of a bigger slowdown. The fed could absolutely blow up these numbers make them even worse today. It concludes its two day Interest Rate meeting at 11 a. M. Our time. We already know theyre going to keep Interest Rates high, but if the fed chair hints, theyre going to keep them high for the rest of the year, that could kneecap the stock market, which has been hoping for rate cuts eventually. Well, just days after launching a program to allow any sort of electric car to charge at a tesla charging station, tesla laid off essentially its entire charging staff about 500 people. Executives at ford and rivian and gm say theyre absolutely flabbergasted. So stunned they say they were in the middle of working out all the details on the big switchover with people who, as of today, dont work at tesla and they dont know who to talk to. The blog, the information was the first to report on those cuts. Tesla has not commented, and these come just a week after tesla laid off 14,000. The mercury news and a host of other newspapers are suing openai, saying the company violated their copyrights when they used newspaper articles to train the artificial intelligence, Large Language Models need a lot of study, a lot of language, and they use newspapers, among other things, to do it. The New York Times was the first to sue. We were just talking about this the other day that ai is running out of things to read, but it cant get smarter if its already read everything, which is why companies are turning to things like youtube videos and podcasts. Facebook thought about buying the publishers simon and schuster, just so its computers could read all the books that would work with newspapers, too. Openai is worth about 80 billion. Most newspapers are worth at most a few hundred million. Are you familiar with liquid death . Its water. Its just canned water. But its a huge brand, a best seller among young people. This week on our podcast sand hill road, i talked to liquid death investor mike jones, who was the money behind dollar shave club, which is another big 20 something brand. Recently, his firm was approached by people representing a religious app, asking for help reaching that very same young demographic in faith. Theres a lot of fans right . Just to be honest. Like, you know, jesus has a lot of followers. Theyre very Passionate Fan group, and so they came to us and said, look, we think churches are struggling. We think the small church may or may not be around, you know, in the future. So you can listen to sand hill road anywhere you get your podcasts, including apple podcasts, etc. So jesus really scaled. He started with just 12. Yeah. He was like, now look and now look. Quite the platform. Yeah. No, its a very serious attempt to go reach these christians. Where they are. Right. Which is things like podcasts and apps and Everything Else and highly associated with the best selling book of all time. Yes, thats true too. Just saying amen to that. Maybe i should read that book. Thank you very much. All right. 619 for you this morning. You know what it is. It is decision day, or at least it used to be may 1st. Yeah, well, it still is, chris. Come on. All right. So you know, typically it has been the decision day for those waiting to enroll in universities. But this year many schools are extending that deadline. So the reason is because of issues with the new fafsa form. Most students, they have no idea how much theyll actually receive in Financial Aid because they actually havent heard back from the fafsa yet. So some of those schools here in the bay area, at least they have extended the decision deadlines to accommodate san jose state. And ucsf moved it to may 15th. San Francisco State and csu east bay moved it to june 1st. Stanford university has not extended their deadline, among others, all according to their website. I mean, its already a stressful time and this whole fafsa thing, like when people are waiting to make
