Proposal brokered by egyptian and qatari negotiators. But israel said the deal did not meet its core demands and it still pushing ahead with an assault on the Southern Gaza city of rafah. As those negotiations continue. So if the cease fire talks are successful, it could bring at least a pause in the seven month long war that has devastated the gaza strip. Currently at stake is the threat of an all out attack on rafah by israel, a move the United States strongly opposes. The area is the last major stronghold of hamas, and is also where more than a million palestinians have fled to escape the violence. Israeli forces have begun warning civilians to evacuate eastern rafah, signaling their attack could begin at any time. Israeli allies around the world, including the u. S, are still pushing for an end to the fighting. We still believe that reaching an agreement is the absolute best outcome, not only for the hostages, but for the palestinian people. And were not going to stop working to that outcome. Any escalation of hostilities resulting from a full scale incursion into rafah will push residents and displaced people currently living there past their breaking point, while the white house says israel has agreed to reopen a key Border Crossing between gaza and israel for humanitarian aid deliveries after it was shut down yesterday during a hamas attack across the u. S. More than 2000 people have now been arrested on College Campuses as police crack down on propalestinian protests. The latest clash between demonstrators and Police Officers unfolded at uc san diego early this morning as officers dismantled tents and took dozens of people into custody, officials say. Nearly one third of those arrested at uc san diego were not students there. Meantime, Columbia University is the latest college in this country to cancel its Commencement Ceremony administered. Administrators announced today that they will only hold Smaller School based celebrations. Definitely disappointed. I already invited a lot of friends and family members, but, i think its for me, its definitely safer for them to stay away from this. None of these protests are productive. They only serve to divide campus to make jewish students feel unwelcome. The issue is dividing democrats, many of whom hope it will wane over the summer months. There are concerns the protests could hurt president bidens approval, with younger voters. Republicans have pounced on the crisis, painting the president s response as weak. Back here in the bay area, San Francisco state universitys president meeting with student demonstrators there to discuss the protesters concerns about the gaza war and also calls for divestment. And right now, students are holding a meeting amongst themselves to discuss their thoughts and a response to that discussion. Ktvu Jana Katsuyama, joining us live from the campus of San Francisco state with the latest on the back and forth there. Jenna. Alex and heather. The meeting of the students started about a half an hour ago, and you can see in the middle of the encampment where they are gathering, they are having their own caucus just to decide what theyre going to do and their next course of action. Now, this group met around 1 00 this afternoon with the president , lynn mahoney. About eight Student Speakers were sitting on one side, and the sf state president was on the other side with two other administrators, three faculty members also were attending, seated in the middle. The protesters called for action to stop the violence against civilians in gaza. President mahoney said she was glad to meet and said she saw her role as protecting free speech on campus. She told students they have been exemplary in their peaceful protest. Shed be glad to craft Investment Solutions to share with other csu campuses. You have been heard for those of us you know, im a u. S. Historian. I cant think of a time in the recent past where the president of the United States, whether we you agree with how we respond or not, he heard. They heard, weve heard. Hes meaning to not only just talk to other president s individually, but have us. The students called on sf state leadership to take four actions disclose their finances, divest finances, and defend palestinian people, as well as declare the Israeli Occupation a genocide, which the president said she would not do because she said shes not a politician. President mahoney invited the group to give her names of representatives to meet to talk about creating Transparent Solutions and go over the universitys investments. Student protesters said they hope this can be a model for other campuses. We are very optimistic. I think this was a huge step forward into initiating further conversations and locking down a timeline so that we can pursue further action on our demands, and i would like to say that i do hope other universities are seeing the leadership that has been performed here today. And throughout the day, weve seen the tone of these meetings be very peaceful, very respectful. And right now, as we mentioned earlier, the students are in a caucus to decide how theyre going to react to the president s call and their invitation to bring some of the students in and talk about the Investment Policies of the university. They said that this could take an hour or even more as they try and make the decisions. Alex and heather. Jan, obviously its encouraging that you have students and administrators having these face to face discussions. Are the protesters giving any indication about how these discussions will factor into their decisions about how long they remain camped out there at the university . Well, they definitely said that they are here until the university meets all of their demands today we saw some movement and some consensus on a few of those in terms of the investments, but certainly on the issue of whether to call this a genocide. Thats something that the University President stopped short of saying. And its unclear whether thats going to be enough to have these students remain out here. They say they plan to be out here as long as it takes, but certainly it is encouraging to see the dialog that happened today on both sides. Yeah, nice to see those conversations happening. All right. Our Jana Katsuyama in the city for us. Thank you gianna. Well, the fourth week of Donald Trumps criminal trial started today in dramatic fashion with the judge threatening jail for the former president after he violated his gag order for the 10th time. Foxs Connor Hansen has the latest now for us from new york. Court started once again with a big fine for former President Trump for violating his gag order. The 1,000 penalty marks the 10th imposed so far. Now, judge juan merchan says financial penalties might not be enough, saying in court, quote, i do not want to impose a jail sanction and have done everything i can to avoid doing so, but i will if necessary. Trump before entering the courtroom, complained again about the order. As you know, theyve taken away my constitutional rights. Im not allowed to answer that question. This has never happened in this country before. Most still believe its unlikely for a former president to be put in jail. It would be disastrous. Politics for the democrats, for the judge to put former President Trump in jail over this. So hell continue to find him. And as long as thats what it is, i think trump should just pay the fine and otherwise say what he wants to say. Mondays witness testimony picked back up with jeff mcconney, the trump organizations former controller. Mcconney was asked about his involvement in approving several payments to former trump Attorney Michael Cohen around the time cohen paid Stormy Daniels 130,000. Prosecutors are trying to prove trump was directly involved with falsifying Business Records to conceal another crime, like tax fraud, or to interfere with the 2016 election. Hundreds of thousands of dollars to cohen were marked as legal fees. One payment was doubled for tax reasons, its clear a crime was committed and its clear what happened. Did donald trump do it . Thats the thing that i think i think is, is what is missing. The prosecutions key witness will be michael cohen. He could take the stand as soon as this week in new york. Connor hansen, fox news one state senator, says Self Checkout kiosks are contributing to a rise in shoplifting from Stores Across california. New proposed legislation aims to address this issue. Ktvu tom vacar joins us now live from berkeley Safeway Store thats just across the street from a big cvs pharmacy. And, tom, how would this bill help to tackle the problem . Selfcheckout stands are coming more and more in use at more and more places. Why . Well, they are convenient. But the other thing is very real and that is fewer staff staffed cash registers, which means they pay less for labor. Heres that story. Welcome. If you have your la senator, lola smallwood, cuevas says Self Checkout lines are a freeway to theft. In fact, Self Checkout machines cause about 16 times more loss than cashier checkout stands, with an estimated 10 billion in annual losses attributed to the machines. The senators proposed a law that sets a minimum staffing level of one worker for every two Self Checkout machines, a law she says will lower theft and save jobs. Loan workers have become easy targets of theft and violence, and theyre too often forced to stock merchandise, operate checkout, cater to customers, all while trying to monitor their stores for retail theft. Leticia costa is a Grocery Store employee in pinole and says she was beaten when three women attempted to walk out of the store without paying for their groceries. At my store, im responsible for managing the entire Self Checkout area, but i also get tasked with processing money orders, money gram and selling lottery tickets and all these things take away from the time of monitoring and assisting the customers. The Prosecutors Alliance of california says store staffs deter thefts better than the meager 10 of people who get caught. For those of us in law enforcement, we understand that deterrence comes from the fear of getting caught, not from the harshness of the punishment. Shoppers we met say the proposed law probably needs to be refined and negotiated in a way, i think its a start. Yes, it kind of forces the businesses to think about it more than just kind of letting it go. Whether or not it needs to be an actual law. That would be a secondary question for me. I would have to look into that one. Now, while this is certainly likely to curb theft, it most certainly will not stop theft. Theft and what theft is left will probably be less confrontational. That means it will be less violent, and thats something good. One final thing this is just a proposed law. As you can imagine, a lot of powerful interests, especially those that operate Retail Stores with such stands, are going to oppose this tooth and nail. So its by no means a done deal. Back to you. Yeah. No. I can imagine that Retail Companies will be weighing in on this proposed legislation. Tom vacar live for us in berkeley. Tom, thank you. After a very chilly start to the day for many afternoon highs. A much warmer than what we had yesterday. A better look at the Current Conditions and the warming trend that will thinking i should bring back my 100 allwhite meat popcorn chicken combos for 6. 99 . Youre in luck, i did. If you werent thinking that, i bet you are now. My popcorn chicken combos are only 6. 99. Get em sauced loaded for just a buck more. Welcome to jack in the box studies show people like to get more for less. So im giving you not just 1 jumbo jack burger. But 2, for only 5 bucks statistically speaking thats a lot more for a lot less. At jack, every bites a big deal. Welcome to jack in the box announcing today who will be putting together the roster before the team makes its big debut on the court next year. Yeah, it is a big day. Ohemaa nianhan was introduced as the teams general manager earlier today. Owner joe lacob says it was a rigorous process to get to this point with ten different interviews. Nianhan comes from the new york liberty, where she spent the past season as an assistant general manager. There, she says the warriors resources and Winning Culture is what attracted her to the position, and she was asked what her vision for the team will be. I think this team is going to be a compilation of pretty much everybody in this room and everybody out there, and then i have to hire some people. So, really just working with the team to, recruit the best minds, the best basketball minds, the best artistic minds, the best, eclectic minds to build the Strongest Team in the w. All right. And the excitement is already building here in the bay area for this new team. More than 7000 fans have put down their deposits for season tickets. It is exciting. So here to talk more about this big announcement is shawn fletcher, professor of Public Relations and Sport Communications at san jose state. Shawn always a pleasure to see you, my friend. So what makes her a good fit for the bay areas new wnba team . Well, she comes highly decorated and highly qualified as you mentioned, she served as assistant gm for one of the original wnba franchises in the new york liberty. She also worked for fiba. She worked for usa basketball. She not only has domestic experience, she has experience internationally as well, which again, as we know, continues to be a growing aspect of not just the w, but basketball in general. So she brings a certain Business Savvy that, im interested to see how shes going to put her imprint on this growth spurt that were seeing around womens basketball. Yeah. Lets talk about the task that nianhan has in front of her. As she said there in the soundbite we heard, she said, i got to hire a few people, you know, not the least of which is a head coach. And youre building a team from scratch. I mean, it just sounds and feels like a very daunting task. And youre coming into an organization like the like the Golden State Warriors, this pedigree, a championship pedigree here. What how much of a challenge is this going to be for her to build this team from the ground up . One thing that we know from our history with with joe laakea and how he is, has run the Golden State Warriors is that he empowers those around him. Now he holds a very high bar and he expects results, but he empowers those to go do their jobs. So shes going to have the opportunity to really set the culture. Ive been around general managers in both the nfl and the nba, and they dont just pick players, they set the tone for the organization. They set the culture. They hire those around them, not the least of which is a head coach who will further that culture of the organization. But she is entering into the first expansion franchise since 2008 with the atlanta dream. And typically expansions coming too. Thats not the case this time. So cathy engelbert, she mentioned the commissioner of the wnba, mentioned that there will be an expansion draft, likely around december. So she has to hit the ground running with her team. Their philosophy a head coach, the direction they want to go because excitingly so in about a years time, theyre going to be tipping off. Thats right. It is just soon just around the corner. Shawn, you touched on this a bit earlier. All of this, though, this announcement of the new gm really coming at a, at a at a pivotal time for womens basketball, i mean, the momentum, the popularity, revenue ratings, i mean, its all skyrocketing for womens basketball. Yeah, absolutely. And i mentioned the growth spurt that were seeing and true to form with growth spurts. Oftentimes the things that that used to support you no longer fit anymore, like what we saw with the opening preseason weekend where there were missed opportunities after missed opportunities. We saw obviously the showcase of caitlin clark, but we also saw the missed opportunity with angel, reese and camilla cordoza to, highly anticipated, draft picks that came in where we actually saw a fan almost get a million streaming views on x, because they were the only game in town who showed it. So you, were seeing missed opportunities and hopefully well see with the new media rights deal. Well see with the increased investment thats taking place around the w that well see fewer and fewer missed opportunities to continue to grow the game. You know, you talked about this a moment ago, but but in terms of ninons experience, you know, along with working for the new york liberty, she spent five years working for usa basketballs Womens National team. I want your perspective about why that experience with International Competitions will be important in this new role. When youre looking to kind of grow the womens game on a global scale, well, first, it brings credibility, it also brings a positioning to where it wont be so us centric. The game is grown as we have seen, which really kind of was ushered in during the early 1990s. And the dream team to where after that, we started seeing
