let themselves get emotion fa. they have any money on the sideline that needs to go into stocks, put it in right now. >> what due predict the future will look like in two years? >> this issue will

successor will likely be in place by october. this is like a divorce. you are talking about separating the u.k. from the european union after they've been together for 43 years. >> cristina rendon, thank you. when the stock market started to slide some bay area companies took a hit. san jose's ciscoe systems dropped 5%. sales force and intel were both down more than 4%. shock waves from the "brexit" vote sent the british pound into a free-fall. the pound hit levels not seen since 1985. at one point losing more than 10% of its value. by early afternoon it had partially recovered but was still down almost 8%. on-line currency sites value that pound at $1.37. president obama who was in the bay area today to attend an event at stanford reacted to the news of the "brexit" vote from palo alto. >> i do think that yesterday's vote speaks to the ongoing changes and challenges that are raised by globalization. but while the u.k.'s relationship with the eu will change, one thing that will not change is the special relationship that exists between our two nations. >> the president who left for washington from san jose a few hours ago said he spoke to prime minister david cameron and the german chancellor saying the eu would remain a vital u.s. partner alongside nato. the presumptive democratic nominee hillary clinton issued a statement in response to the news of britain's departure saying this time of uncertainty is only underscores the need for calm, steady, experienced leadership in the white house. it also underscores the need for us to pull together to solve our challenges as a country, not tear each other down. donald trump is on a two- day trip to scotland where he praised the vote and compared the "brexit" to his own rise as the presumptive republican nominee for president. >> they want to be able to after country again so i think you are going to have this happen more and more. i really believe that. i think it's happening in the united states. it's happening by the fact that i've done so well in the polls. >> trump's sentiments are not shared by scotland which voted overwhelmingly to stay in eu. trump is on a two-day visit to scotland where he's reopening a golf resort there. the syrian refugee crisis played a key role. immigration has been one of the most important topics during the u.s. presidential campaign. coming up it at 5:30 experts look at some

administrator what is now rung the department about a new chief but that's not all they're logging for. >> reporter: not only are city officials looking for someone to lead this embattled department, they're looking for people leaking information to the media about all the recent scandals. >> the fast moving erskine fire exploded overnight, scorching nearly 20,000 acres, destroying 100 buildings and leaving two people dead. >> henry what essential del the administrator tell you? they're looking at trying to stop these media leaks despite everything else that's going on in the city? >> they're looking for the top cop, and they're also looking to plug the leaks to identify who the people are that are talk to the media. i think we have this package ready. no, we do not. take a look. the thing is this. we're all looking at what is going to be the next top company. and some critics are saying why is the city spending resources, they won't tell me how much to look for what is telling or revealing secrets about police misconduct to the media. >> it seems like it would be concerning at least to some that they don't want this information to get out. i mean, how would we know about it? would these scandals be dealt with if the wasn't out in the public eye? >> if you stick your neck out, you can understand you wouldn't want toib department fide as the source, and you might get some -- there might be some retaliation, but in the long run it's very important to say, you know what, let's do what's right, and no one wants malfeasance. >> right. >> certainly we want to talk to people -- >> but you also don't want to have a chilling effect that people would be afraid to come forward. >> that's true. either way the city wants to get to the bottom of misconduct. they say they're not going after whistle blowers as they are trying to tamp down the illegal breach of confidential information. the public wants to know what's going on. >> the oakland pd is saying come to your subpoena pear your, don't leak it to the media. >> right. they're asking the officers to go through the proper klain of command but a lot of officers are reluctant to do so in this climate. >> henry, let's talk about the search for a police chief. what kind of sense are you getting about who they're looking for, and we have been talking in the newsroom that, there any possibility that chris magnus, the former richmond chief, now in tucson, might come back? >> i reached out to him and a source close to him. he says he's firmly planted in tucson. he is an at-will employee there who knows if there's enough enticement he will come here but he says is he's willing to help oakland out by finding a new chief, but right now he doesn't want to be the person here in oakland. >> still so many questions, oakland pd. henry lee, thank you. today george lucas made it official. he is ending his attempt to build a museum in chicago. the mu same was planned for chicago's lake front but was blocked by a local preservation group. the executive director of the friends of the parks released an official statement that says, quote, it is unfortunate that the lucas mu same has made the decision to leave chicago rather than locate the museum on one of the several alternative sites not on chicago's lake front. that would have been a true win- win. chicago's mayor supported the project and says chicago's loss will be another city's gain. tara moriarty tells us how lucas is now set on building in california. >> reporter: filmmaker george lucas says his attempt to build a mu same on chicago's waterfront has been derailed by friends of the park, a group that wanted the land to be used for a park instead. lucas fired off this statement saying, "no one benefits from their seemingly unending litigation to protect a parking lot." >> i envision it here because his studio is here but i guess that's not happening. >> reporter: a plan to build the 700 million museum was reject by the presidio trust two years ago. at lucas film headquarters, star wars fans weighed in. >> we're from milwaukie so primarily we'd want it there honestly. but i might move out here some day so i would kind of be okay with it being out here. >> i just want milwaukie. >> but lucas has said california is where his heart is 70. san francisco's treasure island has been talked about. oakland and los angeles are in the hunt. one man who lives not far from sky walker ranch says not in his backyard. >> i'm constant thinking of traffic and congestion and things like that. so -- >> let's let los angeles have more traffic. >> why not. >> reporter: oakland's spokesperson said the city is thrilled to make its pitch. a city like oakland, incredible diversity and unrivaled diversity is the perfect backdrop for a museum dedicated to story telling and the power of the narrative. while some have referred to it as a star wars museum it is actually a museum of narrative art. so unfortunately you wouldn't see something like a stormtrooper there. however, would you see collections from artists like norman rockwell. >> it should be in the bay area, east bay or san francisco. that's where it all start. >> reporter: right now perhaps only yoda knows where the force lies. in san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. today marks the start of the pride celebration in san francisco. many businesses, bars, and restaurants especially in the castro are gearing up for what they say is the busiest time of year. many events are planned starting with the march tonight at 6:00 at dolores park. the annual

immigration has become a part of political discourse. at 5:30, experts tell us about the pattern they say leading to our own presidential election. plus, we're there as the president boards air force one to head to another west coast city. why the result from a panel he held this morning should far outlast his presidency. >> coming up next, two dead, dozens of homes destroyed. we go live to the erskine fire outside of bakersfield. speaking of fire, fire danger is definitely up as we heat up for this bay area weekend. ♪ ♪ get high speed internet from at&t. keep calm, your internet's on. i found a thai place. oh, good read a review. there's no review it's just a phone number. how am i supposed to eat there if i don't know what other people think about it? get high speed internet from at&t. keep calm, your internet's on. two people are dead and dozens of homes have been destroyed in kern county. thers skin fire is -- the erskine fire is burning in kern county. the governor has declared a state of emergency for kern county. this is where the fire is burning. lake isabella is east of bakersfield. we see that you are near a home that has been destroyed. >> reporter: we're in mountain mesa a few miles east of lake isabella. behind us is what is left of one of the homes. rubble and ashes. you can see a dresser, a washer and dryer, and that's all we can make out. there are 1500 structures like this threatened. the fast moving erskine fire exploded overnight. deputies warn there could potentially be more deaths. >> there are a lot of burned out properties that we haven't had a chance to take a look at so there is the potential that there are other lives that have been lost. >> reporter: the fire started thursday before 4:00 in the afternoon at the bottom of a steep hill and was quickly fueled by heavy winds and hot weather sweeping several miles in just a few hours. friday afternoon it was still 0% contained. >> the conditions could get worse, and it's a very dangerous area at this point. >> reporter: 800 firefighters are tackling flames. several hundred more are on their way, three now in the hospital for non life threatening injuries. thousands have been advised to evacuate fearing they may not come back to standing homes. >> behind me it's not just one home. it's home after home after home. >> reporter: you can see the tree blowing behind me to get an idea of how windy it is. behind that ridge you can see so much smoke and you might even be able to make out some of the flames. if you know people in this area and you haven't been able to get in touch with them, it could be because at&t's service was cut in this area. i haven't been able to access my phone the entire day. a big problem for people trying to reach maybe family or even officials. back to you guys in the studio. >> we can only imagine what those evacuated residents are going through. i'm sure there's an evacuation center nearby. have you had a chance to talk to them? how much time did they have to grab their stuff and get out? >> reporter: we've only been here an hour or two. i'm not sure how much time they had been given. this fire did start yesterday so people in this area are at this point well aware that it's moving fast, it's hot, extremely windy. a lot of them are getting out of here. >> live near bakersfield, thank you. >> it's interesting how you can see the house that's burned behind her, but behind that there's another house that's completely fine. the thing about those fires, they can just be haphazard. i remember in the oakland hills fire symptoms, no house, no house, to house, house. so what are the conditions like there? >> it's bad. they've had red flag washings in that area, bakersfield south, we're talking in the fire zone 85, 86 degrees. but the key is that wind. the winds are blowing and gusting to 30, 35 miles per hour. and that's huge. so we're calling this the erskine fire. the highs tomorrow, it's going to get hotter there. it's going to get dryer as well. tomorrow temperatures are in the mid 90s. the humidity from 18% drops to 10%. and the winds continue to blow, not quite as strong, 20 miles per hour. this is the time of year, i've said this before, you will hear from the me all summer long, but the story of california, earthquakes, fire, and drought. it's time for fires right now. we're going to probably have our share, just like we do every year. forget the drought. it's just a mediterranean climate, and this is what happens. plus we've abated fires for so many years they don't burn naturally any more so there's a lot of brush, a lot of stuff that hasn't burned. like those fires in lake county last year. a lot of that area hadn't burned in 50 years, and it's ready to go. sometimes nature likes to have fires, as you know. here i go off on a rant, but people live in these rural areas now where they used to not live, and so we put fires out so we save homes but we also create a lot of debris and cause problems down the road 10, 20 years later when that debris stacks up. look how hot it is. 109 in palm springs, 67 in san diego, 93 in bakersfield. the whole western united states pretty darn hot right now. the even the east is hot right now. 90 in fairfield. these temperatures, those are right now numbers. it is going to be hotter tomorrow. you can see outside it is getting that lack. how quickly it turns into summer. things aren't graney any more. everything is brown. as you look back towards grizzly peak here, this is kind of the lafayette park hotel. i guess lafayette is right in here. this would be to the right is -- i can't remember, briones park. the forecast, the next week and later on this weekend, up to 100 degrees. not just fours but for the entire state. warmer as we head into tomorrow. notice it, especially inland. coastal sections will remain in the 60s, but right through the weekend that high comes this way. we're not expecting diablo winds for us, al be at red flag warning in the -- albeit a red flag warning for the central valley. 97 in vacaville, 97 out towards the concord area. 93 in gilroy. it is going to be a hot one. i wouldn't be surprised to see a spare the air day come into play on sunday. we'll watch for that. not commuting, it doesn't have as big an impact. there's the five-day forecast. if you can't stand the heat, go to the coast. i want to ask you about the pink. did i miss something here? >> totally by accident. >> we did not plan. >> i'm just checking. >> just happened to see the pink tie. >> thanks bill. the president's trip to

was the summit at stanford university. our south bay reporter jesse gary tells us the president is hopeful is hopeful that his efforts will long outlive his presidency. >> reporter: partially overshadowed by events in europe, president obama once again took up the cause of global entrepreneurship. obama told 700 of the best and brightest a shrinking world hap addressed opportunities and challenges for those who create the next big thing. >> i believe all of you represent all the up side of an interconnected world. all the optimism and the hope and the opportunity that that inter connected world represents. >> at the present time removed his jacket as he led a panel discussion with several entrepreneurs including facebook founder mark zuckerberg. the questions centered on the challenges and pitfalls of carving out your own business. >> when i look back it was very challenging, but this was full of ups and downs. >> the president said because of economic shifts and an almost borderless free market it's important to expand and broaden the benefits new technologies offer. to that end he and zuckerberg want access to capital for global innovators, especially women, minorities, the and young people. >> entrepreneurs keep going because they care fundamentally about to change they're trying to create in the world, and they're not in it just to build a company. >> reporter: mr. obama calls entrepreneurship the engine of worldwide growth with the power to make people and communities more prosperous and secure. he announced next year's summit will be held in india. the president is slated in to seattle tonight, first for a reception for washington state governor jay inslee, then a fund raiser for the democrat congressional campaign committee. mr. obama

of control. it wasn't an anti-foreigner sentiment. plus, a quiet north bay neighborhood buzzing with hollywood cameras and movie makers. up next, we take a trip to find out all about what's being filmed. back to the "brexit" vote now. with great britain voting to leave the european union for many who voted to leave immigration fears were a defining issue. as ktvu's ann rubin shows us many see political parallels. >> reporter: ask those who supported "brexit" and they will tell you concern over immigration played a major part. citizens can move freely between eu countries, seemingly giving britain little control over who enters. there was the european refugee crisis that had thousands seeking asylum. >> there was a feeling of loss of crew. it wasn't an anti-foreigner sentiment, but it was mainly a feeling of losing control, and they feel that by voting for "brexit" they've taken back that control. >> from france to the netherlands, political parties opposed are now demanding their own referendums, then there's the u.s. where building walls has become part of the political discourse. mark brady sees a pattern. >> there is indeed a distinct parallel there between the stagnant wages between a lot of people in america and the feeling that this is to be attributed to immigration and a similar feeling in britain leading up to "brexit." >> reporter: immigration experts call at disturbing trend. >> there have been politicians that have been exploiting fears that have put forth some of these anti-immigrant policies. >> reporter: they say they will counter with outreach and by mobilizing at the polls. >> what we've seen in recent years when there have been increased attacks or targeting on immigrants that that mobilizes the immigrant community even more strongly. >> reporter: one thing that brady pointed out there's no telling what britain's immigration policy might look like moving forward, like most post-"brexit" details, they will be sorted out in the coming months and years. >> i think that's the key, anne. there's just so much we don't know at this point. >> reporter: exactly. it's all up in the air. they've got two years, and the process of sorting out all of those details begins now. >> ann rubin live for us, thank you. the u.k. may not be the last country to leave the european union. the focus now on these countries, spain, france, italy, austria, and greece. all five of these countries have anti-eu sentiment in their national politics. spain is hold an election on sunday. the parties are using "brexit" to advance their own agendas. we have mentioned the implications, both trade and stock market unrest. one other impact is the loss of national security benefits. great britain provides valuable information to american intelligence

series with an anti-bullying message directed by tom mccarthy who directed spotlight. the production hosted a picnic dinner in the park for the neighborhood last inc. >> it was nice that they done that it way, because it's a little disruptive. senate's been a long time since san rafael has seen a film crew. >> with american graffiti, with -- i think that was in the '70s. so it's been quite awhile. >> tom adams heads the city's economic development department. he estimates san rafael will net about $200,000 from taxes, 11,000 hotel rooms intown have been booked for the next five months. film shoots are also scheduled for vallejo. >> we're very excited, we get 10% investor dollar here at the city. so we're anticipating that will be over $100,000. >> reporter: but not everyone in town is happy about the production. the owner of royal ground coffee says monday morning filming downtown was bad for business. she says dozens of crew members hung out all morning here and never bought anything, and the compensation she got from the producers didn't off there is set her losses. >> so my regular could not come in here to sit and enjoy their usual coffee or bagel. so way say yes. >>
