car while walking her dog, why neighbors say it was bound to happen. >> reporter: an explosive blaze on an island with no fire department. a new fire station is under construction, but we'll tell you why it could stay empty. >> reporter: the first confirmed case of the deadly new castle disease is in northern california for the first time. we'll tell you what backyard farmers need to know. >> good evening. i'm ken bastida. >> i'm elizabeth cook. we begin with a live look outside a mosque in new zealand. mourners have been placing flowers to remember the victims of two deadly shootings. at least 49 people were killed at two different mosques in the city of christchurch. we have team coverage tonight beginning with kpix5's betty yu live in san francisco for us. betty? >> reporter: liz, bay area tech giant including facebook and twitter scrambled to take down this video. kpix5 is choosing not to air video of that massacre. suspect brenton tarrant appeared in christchurch district court on saturday morning. the 28-year-old australian, an apparent white nationalist extremist, was charged with a single count of murder. the mosques were packed for friday prayers when the gunman streaming live on facebook opened fire. this woman heard gunshots as she drove past one of the mosques. >> i'm 66 and never thought in my life i'd live to see something like this, not in new zealand. >> reporter: the suspect posted a racist manifesto online and the 17 minute video shows him walking into a mosque and opening fire. facebook said it was new zealand police that alerted the company to the video after the live stream began and it quickly removed both the shooter's facebook and instagram accounts and the video. the video was also shared on twitter and youtube before the companies took action. >> this is a recognition that the social media platforms which have always really just viewed themselves as a distribution network and have been very reluctant to take a stance on the content that passes across and take responsibility. >> reporter: cnet's editor in chief says this tragedy underscores the fact these companies need to take control of content in a more aggressive and thoughtful way. >> some of the things we've heard just in the past day well, perhaps there's a broadcast rule that things don't go live instantaneously. there's a tape delay, if you will. >> reporter: facebook's artificial intelligence and thousands of workers dedicated to reviewing content were apparently unable to detect the live stream of the shooting. new zealand's prime minister vowed action following the worst mass shooting in the country's history. >> i can tell you one thing right now. our gun laws will change. >> reporter: and the suspect today did not enter a plea and he is being held without bail. president trump today told a group of reporters that he did not see white nationalism as a rising threat. live in san francisco, betty yu, kpix5. at mosques all across the bay area there was a somber tone at friday prayers and an extra police presence tonight. kpix5's andria borba reports the communities of all faiths are coming together to remember the victims. >> reporter: on a day of unprecedented grief and mourning in the islamic community, here in the east bay interest else unprecedented, levels of support. a bouquet of flowers sit between slats at the front gate of the islamic cultural center in oakland. inside even more flowers expressing sympathy and solidarity for the muslim community following the mass murder in new zealand. >> and about 50 people showed up to our friday prayers, nonmuslims, and as a sign of solidarity they wanted to join us for the private prayer. so people from a lot of synagogues. a lot of churches in oakland showed up, a lot of faith leaders showed up and so it made the pain a little easier. >> reporter: at 14th and broadway a moment of interfaith strength as the jewish community affected just months ago by the tree of life shooting that killed 11 in pittsburgh expressing their support for their islamic brothers and sisters. >> it just shows that, you know, love is stronger than hate and we are here together and we're going to stand together. >> we want to show the similar solidarity and commitment that we are in it together. >> reporter: inside the islamic cultural center preparations are underway for persian new year. an event typically marked by joy and celebration, but tomorrow a more somber tone and concerns about security. >> we can't control people's emotion, but we have a security plan and the city of oakland graciously offered their police patrols. they offered them today. there were two patrols sitting outside during the friday prayer, so if people were coming and feeling safe and secure and we ask them for the same thing tomorrow. >> reporter: there will also be security provided by the islamic cultural center during tomorrow's festivities. in oakland, andria borba, kpix5. there are a number of vigils happening this weekend. we have a list of them. we put them on our website, www.kpix.com. new tonight a bay area teen- ager and her mom hit by a car while walking their dog, it happened around 6:00 in san francisco on john muir drive near lake merced. police say a black mercedes struck them both. the 14-year-old was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. the mother was also taken to the hospital. she's expected to survive. a man who lives nearby told us it's a dangerous street. >> it's really a big problem here, like people driving high speeds like more than freeway. it's not safe for anyone. >> the driver stopped and is cooperating with police. they told us that sun may have been a factor. new video of a fire at an oil refinery in southern california, crews spraying water on a raging fireball underneath a network of pipes at a phillips 66 facility in carson just south of l.a. it took firefighters about two hours to knock it down. no injuries reported. last night we showed you this big fire on bethel island in contra costa county. took a while for firefighters to get there because of some budget cuts. tonight kpix5's christin ayers learned a brand-new fire station is being built, but there's a big catch. >> reporter: tonight there is little more than rubble left after yesterday's fire burned three homes. neighbors say the problem is there's no fire station on bethel island and the one that's under construction will likely remain empty indefinitely. lee simpson watched these flames next-door to his home on bethel island consume first one home, then another. >> it's just solid fire, the whole house was just -- i've never seen a picture like that, a house burning that was -- it was like just a matchbox. it exploded kind of. the whole house exploded in fire. >> reporter: minutes ticked by and he was sure his home would be next. budget cuts forced bethel island's fire station to close years ago and the nearest station is now roughly 15 minutes away. >> once a house starts 15 minutes on these old houses, it's going so bad by the time the fire department gets here that they just try to protect the houses on both sides. >> reporter: simpson was lucky. his home survived, but three of his neighbors' homes were lost. >> it's just the time and distance, the mileage to get out here, some of the narrow roads that lead up to this neighborhood on this island cause an issue with responding out here. however, we are building a firehouse just down the road. >> reporter: in fact, it's nearly finished. in 2017 after some legal wrangling shea homes, the deform of this oakley neighborhood, agreed to spend $4 million to build the fire department near bethel island and pay for a fire truck. there's just one problem. >> we don't have the staffing to open it yet even when it's done. >> reporter: in 2017 the district had three fire stations and only three firefighters per station for a total of nine firefighters on a given night. >> so we're going to have a brand-new fire station, but it won't do us any good. firefighters are going to still have to come from knightson or oakley to get to us. >> reporter: simpson worries another fire like this one is imminent. on bethel island, christin ayers, kpix5. a student was hit by a car last night. campus police were dealing with a series of false fire alarms and couldn't respond. the student was crossing 19th avenue when they were struck and injured. san francisco police and fire did respond. the college admissions scandal now touching uc berkeley, prosecutors say canadian businessman david sidu paid $200,000 for a stand-in to take his son's s.a.t. test. one of his sons went on to cal and has since graduated. sidu appeared in court in boston today where he pleaded not guilty to mail and wire fraud charges. and one last note tonight, actress lori loughlin who was also arrested in the scandal has now been dropped from the netflix series fuller house. president trump just issued his first veto overruling congress to protect his emergency border wall funding. law enforcement officials joined the president's side in the oval office. the veto comes just one day after a dozen republicans joined democrats to pass a measure to block the emergency declaration at the southern border. >> we have many miles under construction right now. >> it's for me is a matter of defending the constitution, the balance of powers that is in our constitution. >> trump's emergency declaration allows him to use billions of dollars in pentagon funding to build a wall. it would take a 2/3 vote in congress to overturn his veto and that appears unlikely. young activists filled streets across the country today calling for stepped up action against climate change. protests played out in cities like washington d.c., st. paul, minnesota, and boston, and also in downtown san francisco. >> climate change has got to go! >> thousands of students skipped school to march down market street. there were also rallies in berkeley and alameda. many students say politicians are dragging their feet. >> when we were trying to organize people and we were telling people come to the march, they were always saying -- the most common response was who is going to listen to us? we're just students. we can't vote. what difference can we make? i want to tell people you don't have to feel like because you're young you can't make a difference. we have a voice. our voice matters. >> today's rallies were part of a global youth climate strike with rallies and school walkouts in about 75 countries. news tonight about the ethiopian airlines crash, the pilots locked in a battle for control of the aircraft. >> and it's contagious and deadly, a disease found in chickens that is making its way to the bay area tonight. >> trouble in bedrock, the bay area's flintstone house at the center of a lawsuit. >> plus it's going to be a beautiful weekend and we'll have your full forecast coming up. narrator: in utah, you're livin' on mountain time and there's nothing standard about that. with 10 resorts less than an hour from salt lake international airport, mountain time means more time on more resorts on the greatest snow on earth. it means more time with the kids and more time away from the kids. ski more, shred more, chill more, cheers more because mountain time is a state of mind that can only be found in one place. utah. and american airlines max 8 touched down at sfo today, just the pilots on board flying the plane from miami for long term parking. >> this comes just two days after president trump grounded the entire u.s. fleet of boeing max jets following the deadly ethiopian airlines disaster that killed 157 people. this crater is nearly all that's left of the crash site. veronica de la cruz joins us now with new clues about the final moments in flight. >> investigators have a better idea now of exactly what happened. ethiopian airlines flight 302 was in trouble almost from the beginning of its brief final flight with the pilots locked in a battle of control of the aircraft as it climbed and dropped by hundreds of feet. this oscillating flight track is similar to the lion air crash in october. investigators tell cbs news the boeing 737 max's jack screw which helps raise or lower the jet's nose was set to dive. investigators hope the black boxes tell them whether the plane's sensors malfunctioned similar to lion air. in washington lawmakers are calling for an investigation into the faa's approval process of the 737 max 8 jet. >> they are there to protect the public and people on the ground. they aren't there to protect any company or any airline or anybody else and i'm going to be scrutinizing to make sure that there wasn't any undue influence. >> tonight cnbc reports boeing will issue a software fix for the 737 max in about 10 days. legendary poet and civil rights activist maya angelou is trending on twitter tonight. an old kpix5 video clip is making the rounds and some people are outraged by what they're hearing. you be the judge. >> i wanted to have your views on interracial relationship. >> first i'm miss angelo. i'm not maya. i'm 62 years old. i have lived so long and tried so hard that a young woman like you or any other has no -- you have no license to come up to me and call me by my first name. >> well, tonight some people on social media are outraged. others are defending angelou. later in the program she apologized. we posted the video on instagram and facebook if you want to join in the conversation. health officials warning tonight a new and deadly chicken disease has reached the bay area. kpix5's susie steimle reports that it comes as more and more people have backyard birds. >> reporter: with the first confirmed case of the deadly new castle disease now in northern california, commercial farmers might know what to do, but for backyard farmers it's more of a learning curve. hillary sharp's helps are all from the humane society calling her a backyard farmer, maybe a bit generous as they're more pets than egg producers. >> so they all have very individual personalities. there's a lot of politicking of who is going to eat what. >> reporter: she hadn't heard of new castle disease until today. >> we were, of course, really concerned. >> reporter: new castle disease is a highly contagious deadly viral disease in birds that has the ability to wipe out entire flocks. a rooster tested positive for the virus at a veterinary clinic in redwood city thursday. it is the first confirmed case in northern california. >> and it spreads rapidly and it's very, very deadly. >> reporter: dr. tina peek has closely followed new castle disease in southern california. last year tens of thousands of birds there died or were euthanized. in 2002 an 11-month outbreak killed 3.1 million birds and cost the industry $161 million. >> the worry is that it will get into the commercial poultry industry and california has a very large commercial poultry industry. >> reporter: doctors say for now birds should not be moved and owners need to take extra care cleaning up after handling them so as not to spread anything. >> so we'll definitely be monitoring the situation and making sure that our birds stay healthy and safe. if you do have a sick bird you are worried about, there is a state hotline you can call any time. we put the number up for you on our website www.kpix.com. susie steimle, kpix5. tonight looks like a landmark restaurant in san francisco just got the final go ahead to reopen. julius' castle sits on telegraph hill and dates back to the 1920s, but it's been closed since 2001. last summer city planners and supervisors approved a reopening, but neighbors filed a lawsuit expressing concern about the increased traffic on narrow streets. now a judge has denied their petition. the owner has been refurbishing the castle inside and out since he bought it seven years ago. it is one of the most distinctive homes in the bay area, but some say the eye catching new additions to the flintstone house in hillsborough are a yabba dabba don't. the town of hillsborough filed a lawsuit against the owner calling it a public nuisance. the issue is with the backyard now a prehistoric scene complete with dinosaurs, elephants. the city is demanding the homeowner remove it all because it was put up without permits. >> i sent her a all right back in january which she ignored and therefore, we had to file the lawsuit because it was clear she was not going to remove any of this work. >> the owner since applied for permits, but the city wants everything removed so it can start with a fresh slate. stay tuned. friday night, weekend time, that's how you began your weekend, pretty great shot there from oakland looking across the bay, mount sutro, sutro tower and the beautiful color of the setting sun on a friday night, weekend time and the first time i can tell you it will be dry this weekend and warmer than average this weekend, haven't said that since november. been a really long time, but you get it this weekend. we're in the 40s and 50s right now, 47 livermore, 55 in san francisco, still 59 degrees in oakland. that is mild. we stay in the 40s overnight tonight, still chilly, but not as chilly for the tri-valley, livermore drops to 41, mountain view 46, napa 43, san francisco 48 degrees. san jose, you have not hit 70 this year. it's the longest wait at the start of a year since 1973 for that first

sugar bowl looking good, not much new snow, but i don't think you need it with the 227- inch base and squaw valley, is up sun and clouds this weekend. ridge of high pressure is going to the north and will change our wind direction. we had more of a north wind today and warmed up 3 or 4 degrees. tomorrow it's an offshore wind and will warm us up more to some of the warmest weather in about 122 days, but the ridge moves up to canada and that will actually allow a storm to go south of the ridge and i give us a rain chance tuesday into wednesday. tomorrow evening sunny for barbecuing in your backyard and sunday looking sunny as well. next week the ridge is way up in canada now and we have some light rainfall likely moving through late tuesday, early wednesday, warmest weather since early november. it's coming, be here tomorrow, mainly dry and sunny through monday. if you can do a three-day weekend, monday would be an excellent choice for a day off and cooler days next week with a couple shower chances, the first arriving tuesday night. livermore 70, san jose 71, 66 in san francisco, a couple degrees warmer sunday and monday with sunshine, some late showers on tuesday and another chance of showers possible toward the end of next week. now that we're up to the 70s when i say cooling down, it just means we're cooling down to the 60s, not the 20s, 30s and 40s with all the rain we had during the winter. cooler next week, beautiful this weekend. >> just enjoy it. thanks, paul. coming up the new items ♪ [ camera shutter clicks ] the new galaxy s10 on xfinity mobile. the
