Temp. Santa rosa is 58. Airport because they have a north wind at eight miles an hour. That will do it. So everything continues to stay to the north.

Theres not a lot going on, which is why people get up this early to get on the road. And right now it is indeed a pretty decent drive. 401 lets get back to the headlines. Thank you. Sal. Topping our news this morning that developing news this morning as Law Enforcement on the ucla campus are trying to dismantle the propalestinian encampment, a Large Police Presence started moving in on protesters at 3 00 this morning. Fox reporters on scene say there have been flashbangs tear gas deployed. Police have started taking down the barricades in front of the protesters and began detaining people. You can see a very active scene there on the main part of campus. Many of the swat officers involved are chp officers, and it comes after the police were criticized for responding too slowly to the clashes between protesters. I think the Ucla Administration and Law Enforcement failed to protect the students, not simply the demonstrators, but also just innocent bystanders who are just trying to get home. Now, weve already seen people being detained by police this morning. Classes at ucla were canceled yesterday. They have now been moved online. Midterm exams have either been postponed or canceled. Uclas chancellor says there will be thorough investigations of tuesday nights violent demonstrations, and he said student arrests, expulsions and dismissals are possible. But again, were looking at that very active scene this morning as they are taking down the barricades and well continue to monitor that situation at ucla now. A fight broke out on uc berkeleys campus after several days of Peaceful Assembly in response to the israelhamas war. It happened on the schools campus last night. University Police Say Two opposing groups got into an altercation over a flag. At least two people were hurt and needed some medical attention. A group of uc Berkeley Student unions have set up a propalestine camp in the near Student Activity Center since last week. Our time is now 403. An open letter signed by 5000 uc alumni says they. Will not donate to the university until protest demands are met. Now, the group is called uc alumni for palestine. It includes alumni from all ten uc campuses and from the graduating classes dating back to 1966. Now, the open letter demands that the University Called for an immediate and permanent cease fire in gaza, divest from companies profiting from the war in gaza, and provide protections for students, staff and faculty from threats to their jobs and to their safety. Other group letter included testimonials from several alumni. One of them wrote, i am a Small Business owner and a hayward resident. I attend alumni events to support students. I recently attended the regents and chancellors Scholarship Association alumni event. I will withhold donations from the university until they divest, but i will continue to support the student encampments that uc berkeley has said they dont plan to change their Investment Policies or practices well around the country. Many propalestinian protests have called for the federal government and universities to cut Financial Support for israel and for companies that do business with israel. Now, two bay area cities voted to do just that, and ktvu is. Bailey ocarroll has the details on the decisions by leaders in hayward and richmond. Its worth it. Its our moral obligation. Its our social responsibility. We have to do it. Theres no other choice. The Richmond City Council Voted to divest all city money from investments with ties to israel, as tensions in the u. S. Surrounding the israelhamas war intensify. My City Council Member sheila barna said most residents who attended the meeting were in favor of the change. One thing that an Israeli Jewish lady was saying was that its doing a service not only to the palestinians, but also to israelis is its not just serving them. Palestinian with respecting their human rights, but also israeli people with sustainable peace. We have to do it. But not everyone agreed, including Jonathan Mintzer of the Jewish Community relations center. He called the passing harmful. The council is putting the city at legal and financial risk to make a performative statement that wont be increased to the region, but will inflame community tensions. But the big question now is how does the city divest that money . Its the same question that has been brought up as protesters on College Campuses make the same request of their schools, according to the city. The plan is to comb through investments, see where ties lie and pull the money out. But according to james mcbride, a Financial Adviser, its not that simple and may be a moot point, he said selling israeli investments would have no effect on companies or the stock market as they would be purchased by other investors, adding University Divestments dont change corporate behavior and most investments are in mutual funds or Exchange Traded funds, and corporations included are not handselected. Council member barna estimates the city has over 100 million invested in various funds, with ties to israel. Various City Employees will be tasked with finding out where to invest that money moving forward. Its up to the City Administration to find other solutions. Bring back to the city council by july 2nd and let us know what other options are. Bailey ocarroll, ktvu, fox two news. Thank you. Bailey. Will the bay area has a long history of protests on College Campuses. Yeah, some people say the propalestine demonstrations are similar to the Antiapartheid Movement of the 1980s. Thats when activists were pushing governments and universities to divest from south africa. But some political experts. Say the mass occupations happening now may not be as effective because theyre happening more often. Protests have overall become less effective at winning their demands over the past handful of years. That has coincided with the continued frequency of protests. Now, protests are still happening at bay area colleges, including cal, stanford, San Francisco state and sonoma state. Unlike the violent incidents at columbia and ucla, local demonstrations have remained mainly peaceful. Well, a bill is now headed to the us senate that expands the definition of antisemitic ism. The house just approved the legislation that broadens the definition to include, quote, targeting of the state of israel. Now, critics of the bill say it strips away free speech on College Campuses, but the Biden Administration says it remains committed to opposing antisemitic speech. The president is being kept regularly updated on whats happening, as you just stated across the country, he is monitoring the situation closely. So is his team. And i would just add that no president , no president has spoken more forcefully about combating antisemitism than this president. Supporters of the legislation say it provides a framework for the department of education to investigate discrimination cases and intervene, if necessary. Our time is now. 408 police in pacifica still searching for whoever fired gunshots after trying to steal a car. Now it happened tuesday afternoon on horizon way. The owner of the car tried to confront the car thieves, who then sped away after firing shots from one of the getaway cars. Now the two cars involved, described as a white or silver infiniti four door sedan. The other car described as just being silver. If you have any information, call pacifica police. Santa clara will hold a Ribbon Cutting ceremony today to celebrate its 100th public electric vehicle charger. Now, the charger is en los padres boulevard. Silicon valley power says it is a significant milestone in its efforts to promote Clean Energy Funding for the charging stations comes from the utilitys participation in the states low carbon fuel standard program. I can tell you its helping businesses as well because those malls and areas and restaurants that have charging stations, theyre being used. Yes. Yeah. And then you might go, you know, grab a coffee or lunch or something while youre charging the car. Steve. So its a its a nice combination. I see people doing it. Yeah. Yes. All right. Well get to it here. There are no clouds in the sky. So this should say this should be sunny. This graphic. But i dont make the graphics 68 to 80. Rain saturday. Those are the highs 58 to 62. So what a dramatic change to go from near 80. For some there will be few. And i mean we will be really cool with what looks like rain moving in a little bit of a northerly breeze, except so far in the city, but even out to pittsburgh, a little westerly, but everywhere else its north northwest, middle peak northwest to 32. Thats north side of mount tamalpais, santa rosa northwest to 23. Novato, northwest 15. So thats keeping santa rosas temperature up. The water temp. So point arena, San Francisco bowie at 49 degrees point raise has been bouncing between 49 and 50. Unbelievably cold for the early part of may, no doubt about it. And fog is not far away when temps inland or 80 and the water temps are that cold system moving into the north. But fog is racing down the coast and its just going to run into too much resistance today, but not tomorrow, it looks like a change will be starting on friday here. 40s for a few 50s though. There. Santa rosa is 58, so i think were running a little a little warmer here today than we were yesterday. At this time. To the north, a lot more upper 40s, mid 40s or low 50s, not the 30s that we saw for a couple of days. I was talking to a colleague of mine, and there was a couple of reports around sebastopol of ice a couple of days ago. I mean, thats thats a little unusual, but thats what we had a lot of 30s here. Not now though, and everythings continues to say rain on saturday just arent snow in the mountains. I mean, it just cant get around it. So i would have that plan be ready to go for saturday. Warm thursday though, clear morning sunshine for all, warmer temperatures near 80 for a few 6070s and 80. All right. Thank you steve. Remembering reverend Cecil Williams of glide memorial church.

Ktvu is amber lee spoke with the two men about the assault, who say that attack was unprovoked. Its a break in limited english, 78 year old ignacio finnegan shows me the bruise on his forehead that he suffered after a man attacked him and his coworker. I wake up every morning so i dropped my granddaughter in the school. But his routine. Of leaving his home in the tenderloin was disrupted when he got to work as a Security Guard for an Office Building on post street, near kearny, just blocks from union square and chinatown, at around 1020 wednesday morning, Surveillance Video shows fatigue and wearing a beanie talking to his coworker bob morales, whos 59 years old. A man gets out of a parked car, confronts morales, pushes him, and then tries to kick him. They pushed me. What . Whats the matter . I said it did not talk and then he punched me. No no no. Hit me. They kick. Im run. The man goes up to finnegan, chases him and shoves him. He falls to the ground, hitting his head. The man walks away and takes off in a car. A witness who asked us not to show his face, says he went outside his place of business to try to help. The victims shocked because again, were downtown. Theres a lot of activity down here, but its still a pretty quiet street. The witness says the suspect needs to be caught and held accountable. Its unacceptable. Its just unacceptable. There is absolutely no reason for that. I hate to assume that it was any way racially motivated, but based upon who was attacked, its kind of the first thing that popped into my head when i went out there. Both victims, immigrants from the philippines, tell me as Security Guards, they often stand outside the building theyre watching over. They say theyve never seen the suspect before. They continue to work after the attack, but theyre concerned the suspect may return. Has anything like this ever happened before . No. This is really happened to me. Ive been here for 20 years already, but this time only Police Responded to this incident. They say they have not ruled out hate as a possible motive for this unprovoked attack, and that so far no one has been arrested. Amber lee ktvu, fox two news thank you. Amber.

Ralph xiao left his job in production to pursue his love of cooking. He and Three Friends created a bodega style business. Its a Neighborhood Grocery store and restaurant where people can meet, sit down, and relax to enjoy a hearty meal. You think about bodegas in new york. Theyre kind of like the lifeblood of the block.
