After weeks of anger, tension and violence, usc students protesting the war in gaza were forced to pack up camp and leave the university. This comes after dozens of Police Officers in riot gear arrived around 4 00 this morning to help campus officers clear the massive encampment. The antiwar groups have been calling on usc and universities nationwide to stop doing business in israel. Today, the University Says it warned the protesters of arrest, both in person and through social media. One student journalist says compared with what happened at ucla last weekend or last wednesday, rather today was peaceful. It was definitely the protesters left without arrest, without fighting dps or lapd. They were chanting, they were loud about their beliefs, but they were marched down truesdale avenue to the exit of campus without staying in the tents, without being there. When the encampment was being disassembled and we mentioned ucla crews are continuing to clean up after the propalestinian encampment there was cleared out, a stark contrast to what happened at usc. You may remember last at ucla last week, demonstrators clashed with police refusing to leave. More than 200 people were arrested during that confrontation. Police are maintaining a presence on the campus amid fears protesters might come back to try to set up another encampment. Now on the San Francisco state campus. The encampment that began monday is growing, and folks occupying these tents are excited about an event tomorrow. People at the encampment are telling us that the School President , lynn mahoney, will be joining them on campus for what were told will be an open negotiation. The demands on the university include disclosing and divesting all investments with companies doing business with israel and declaring opposition to what they call the genocide in gaza. It will be hosted here at the quad over our encampment. We are going to be discussing our terms of demands and we are hoping that we come to a concrete conclusion and if we dont, then well continue the work that we are doing. A spokesperson says the demands are nonnegotiable, and were just hearing back from San Francisco state that, in fact, a meeting is on the schedule of president mahoney. Well, not the war in gaza, but Climate Justice was the center of another protest in the east bay. And instead of land, the demonstrators took their protests to the water. They paddled out to the bay near chevron richmond refinery, demanding the company take action to address climate crisis. Now heres nbc bay areas christie smith, who they paddled to shore in richmond and were met with cheers after spending hours on the water. This was a peaceful protest out on the water. We are, trying to coin the phrase chi activism. Alfredo angulo is with rich city raise. What were saying is, hey, chevron, you know, the people of richmond deserve a healthy, safe future, and so do your workers, you know . And so we need to make sure that the refinery is transitioning to sustainable renewable practices. The activist shared videos of them with signs on kayaks, reading pollute no more and fossil fuels and chevron out of richmond. We had a all of our folks go out to the wharf, to temporarily block one of the ships to let them know that, you know, we are the people of richmond, are tired, and we are a force to be reckoned with. Essentially, today we have a very big paddle that is an International Solidarity event against chevron. The kayakers today talked about their position and reasons for doing this, but we also reached out to chevron for comment in a statement today, chevron says it respects peoples rights to express their viewpoints, adding the company is focused on safely and reliably providing energy for the bay area. Their colorful kayaks aimed to send a message. Weve been on the receiving end of pollution for over 120 years, and as the planet catches more and more on fire, and more and more of our communities are seeing pain and suffering from the climate crisis, were here to tell them that, you know, they need to change whats unique about this protest is its leading with joy and love in richmond.

The free to be heading out of Sausalito Yacht Harbor en route to a tour of San Francisco bay, including the skyline, alcatraz and all the rest included in the price of todays cruise guests with the drink was margarita. Margaritas is correct, and the man who was captain of the schooner, a San Francisco native who can think of no better place to be today than on the water. I grew up in the mission in San Francisco, Cinco De Mayo. Its always kind of a fun festive day, you know it. To be able to be on the water is such a different experience from being on land in the city, its just a great day to be out and enjoy the festivities.

Us National Average price for regular grade gasoline is down to 365 a gallon. The decrease comes after surge of 0. 59 per gallon earlier this year. Analysts say the small drop at the pump may hold for a bit if oil prices show little change short term. Two main factors are Lower Crude Oil prices and weaker u. S. Gasoline demand due to high inflation and higher prices. And we are still paying much more here in california. Unfortunately, the statewide average 535. In the bay area, the average price for a gallon of regular 557 in San Francisco. 547 as you see there in oakland and in san jose. 542. One bay area city has made the list of Fastest Growing cities in the state. Im going to give you a moment to think about it. Which city is it . The population of just over 13,000, ladies and gentlemen, emeryville, californias second Fastest Growing city at the start of 2023, about 12,700 People Living there, 5 up from the past year compared to ten years ago. Its an increase of more than 20. Emeryville joins a list of Central Valley and San Joaquin Valley cities that are also growing at a similar rate. One reason may be that emeryvilles Housing Production rate has outpaced its population growth. The city has encouraged Affordable Home Development for years, easily meeting and exceeding state mandated goals. Well, 26in in 24 hours. Check it out. Thats what palisades tahoe ski resort is reporting. After a record breaking may snow day, uc berkeleys Central Sierra Snow Lab said the storm dropped 26. 4in in the last day, making today the snowy day at the lab so far this season, palisades is calling it the best may powder day in recent memory. Lets take a live look right now from palisades. The clouds are there. Not as sunny as some people may have been hoping for. But you know, just a moment ago, cynthia, you were talking about our weather maybe becoming. You said the word summer. I think a summer like, oh, definitely. Were going to have some major changes as we go on into next week. I know people might have been unhappy with me yesterday. Going back to the rain and all, but we are clearing out and actually the brunt of it going to warm out as we go on into the coming weekend. Really throughout the week as we saw those models with the snow, we just kept going, oh my goodness. And it just kept coming. Our snowpack really healthy even at this time of the year through the north, central and southern part of the state. And remember this supplies about a third of our water supply as we deepen that spring melt and go into our summer months. So a really healthy note there back here in the bay area. Gorgeous finish to the weekend after a soggy start. It is breezy at times as we go on into some of the coasts and some of the valleys, but it will start to subside as we go on into the week and actually get much warmer. 70s and some upper 80s are in the forecast. There but we have to hold our horses for a little bit again on tomorrow morning. We are going to start with those chilly 40s in our valley. So youre going to need the heater, grab the jacket and by lunchtime, still breezy out there as you make your lunchtime plans and into the afternoon. More sunshine. Breezy at times, but again, those winds will start to subside as we go on into a more High Pressure pattern here. Building that ridge, clearing our skies, showers are going to stay away from the bay area, so whats that going to do to our temperatures . I want you to find that sunscreen. All of those nice Water Bottles that youve been stocking up in the kitchen, because were going to need it. As we go on into wednesday, we start to get more of those 70s and some 80s on the map. I think the warmest days of the week, however, are going to be onto thursday and friday. And what the good thing that this weekends rain did is subside. Some of those fire concerns as we go on into thursday. Look at this dry and warm 84, in santa rosa, upper 70s through the peninsula. Some low 80s for los gatos, san jose. But its really as we make our way east into concord and fairfield, where we start to creep up into those mid 80s. So if thats too hot for you, maybe staying inside with the shades closed, the fan going. Thats not too bad either. By the time that we get on into friday, we are feeling like summer here with some of our inland valleys flirting with the 90s out there in vacaville, fairfield and parts of the Santa Clara Valley will also be pretty toasty along the bay. That might be a nice end to our workweek here. Hitting the beaches 70 sounds like a nice plan for me in may. So overall, San Francisco over the next couple of days, gorgeous weather. Its going to be the kind that makes you say, i love living in the bay area from 60s to 70s. Really nice there in the city and our inland valleys. Its going to be warming up toasty as we go from the breezy finish to the workweek, to the weekend, to the workweek, and then by wednesday, 80s. And that carries us beyond into the rest of the workweek. 20 degree jump i like it. Oh yeah, major. All right. Thanks very much. Youre welcome. Well, coming up next, a new law could better protect polyamorous families in one east bay city. The proposal to keep landlords from discriminating against renters with more than one partr. Ne my late fatherinlaw lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. He had amd. I didnt know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. His struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like hazy or blurred vision, so its hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. If you think you have ga, dont wait. Treatments are available. Ask a retina specialist about fdaapproved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait. Com and against polyamorous people. Polyamory is defined as having multiple intimate relationships at the same time with the consent of all involved. Now, oakland passed a similar law last month. One man pushed for the protections after he claims landlords refused to rent to him after he disclosed he had three partners. Oaklands law recognizing polyamorous families is the first of its kind on the west coast. South carolina senator tim scott is dodging questions on whether he would accept the president ial Election Results in november if President Biden wins.
