concerns. it later said it addressed the issue and the faa signed off. back to you, drew. >> amanda. we'll look at the travel forecast and it's really quiet across many of our major hubs today. you can see no huge issues when it comes to any severe weather. we do have one area in the south around the louisiana, alabama and mississippi that there is some severe weather, but for the most part, we're looking good to go. if you're flying today outside this morning, we are seeing a nice little sunrise coming up from the mount tam cam and that sun is going to be with us all day long, and it's going to feel a little bit like summer in some of our cities today. looking at forecast highs today, 70s and 80s, average this time of the year is typically in the 60s. so some areas approaching 15 degrees above average. later on this afternoon, the only problem tree pollen. it continues to run high if not very high. oak, pine, juniper and cedar. that's

people who live there. this morning, front and center on the state's leading newspaper, abortion ban is law. >> the near total civil war era ban that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state. >> the state supreme court upheld the 1864 era law that bans abortion from the moment of conception, with the only exception being to protect the life of the mother. the law was enacted before arizona became a state, and decades before women had the right to vote. arizona congressman juan psychomancy, a republican who previously voted to restrict abortion access, called the ruling a disaster for women and providers. and kari lake, a trump ally running for senate in arizona, said the ruling is out of step with arizonans, a shift from two years ago when she praised a near total ban. it comes one day after former president trump said the issue should be left up to the states and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. >> in this case, the law of the

state. >> president biden calls the arizona ruling extreme and dangerous. abortion rights have won in all six states where they have been on the ballot, including in conservative states like kansas, kentucky and ohio. the need for reproductive health care and abortion care doesn't go away in a state where it's made illegal under the arizona ban, doctors who perform abortions could face up to five years in prison. but in its ruling tuesday, the state's high court delayed enforcement, allowing for legal challenges as arizona's planned parenthood says they'll continue to provide abortions until their legal teams advise they no longer can. any enforcement of the arizona law is likely weeks away due to the court allowing legal challenges. if it holds. arizona's current attorney general, a democrat, vows not to enforce it. reggie aqui kumasi back to you. >> new at six a federal judge has denied a new trial for the man who attacked paul pelosi with a hammer. david depape was found guilty of assault and

families of americans being held hostage by hamas yesterday. one of those hostages is hirsh goldberg pollen from berkeley, who was captured by hamas at the nova music festival on october 7th. his parents described their meeting with the vp as very productive. hirsch's parents shared more about their efforts to reunite with their son right here on abc's nightline, 184 days is just way too many. >> and on day 40 something, some reporter said to us what if it gets to day 100? what will you do? and we thought, that's crazy. there's no way this saga is going to get into 100 days. so to be on day 184 is just it's enough. we need to bring these hostages home. talks are underway in gaza for an immediate cease fire, but israel says it plans to soon carry out its offensive into rafah. >> a state department spokesperson, matthew miller, says the u.s. has not been briefed on the date israel will

invade rafah. also new from the region this morning, israel's foreign minister is threatening military action against iran if the islamic republic launched an attack from its territory against israel. the threat comes after a number of iranian generals were killed in a blast at the iranian consulate in syria earlier this month. iran's supreme leader is promising to retaliate against israel over the attack. back to you at the desk. thank you. >> amanda. a group of state lawmakers have announced a package of bills aimed at decreasing retail crime. the package includes seven measures, and lawmakers expect to add about five more now. one key component would expand tools for police to arrest people for shoplifting. the legislation would also add railroad police to fight cargo theft, propose bill also includes guidelines for keeping repeat offenders in custody. lawmakers did not say when they'd be voting on the bills. >> enough fentanyl to kill san francisco's population nearly 12 times over. that's how much of the deadly drug the chp says

it's taken off the streets since it started patrolling nearly a year ago. the 42 pounds of fentanyl was recovered over time within a ten block radius of the tenderloin. governor newsom's office directed the chp to patrol the san francisco neighborhood after drug deaths soared. the neighborhood merchants association says this effort to reduce crime is working. >> if anything, it's showing people that, hey, it's not kind of a free for all anymore. i think we need to maintain our current intensity and probably even go further, because things have improved vastly in the tenderloin, it doesn't mean we're in a good spot, and it doesn't mean we're where we're at, where we're supposed to be. but we are definitely headed in the right direction. >> since last may, the chp has also issued more than 6000 citations, leading to almost 500 arrests. they've also recovered 15 crime linked guns. >> the federal government is working to expand mental health care access in hispanic and latino communities. health and human services secretary xavier

high oak, pine, juniper and cedar. those are your top allergens. future weather. by 11 a.m. 60s and 70s already, that's above average. if we just stopped right there and then we head into the afternoon and we see 70s and 80s on the board. it's a nice afternoon at oracle park, a first pitch temperature near 70 degrees with a light breeze doesn't get that much better at oracle park. ninth inning, we're dipping to about 67. the three day forecast looking at summerlike conditions today. still warm tomorrow. and then it all changes. we go downhill fast on friday with showers returninfor the weekend. we'll preview that

the coast of daly city. people spotted this whale yesterday with its tail trapped in a net and a buoy that's trailing behind. amanda, this is awful. it turns out this whale has been in trouble now for weeks. >> yeah, reggie, the national oceanic atmospheric administration, or noaa, first spotted the whale already tangled off the coast of orange county at the end of march, when their team approached it to try and untangle the whale, it became aggressive and they had to stop, but they attached a tracking device to keep an eye on it as it swam north to its way to feeding grounds in

alaska. once the whale became more tired out, the team was planning to try and untangle it again, but the device stopped working and they lost track of the whale. then it was spotted again yesterday at thornton state beach in daly city. we wanted to give you a live look, but right now we can't find that whale. we know that people are still looking for them. researchers from the marine mammal center and noaa are trying to get more information about the situation. >> it's really wrapped and caught on that tail. and it's not going to be an easy task to get it off. it is relatively urgent in the in the fact that if we don't remove the gear and the whale can't get it off itself, it's most likely going to die from it. >> noaa says they hope to know more about when might be the best time to approach the whale, to try and get it the net off again. they're asking people to keep an eye out for it and report any sightings of the whale back to you at the desk. reggie. >> okay, amanda. thank you. and unprecedented silicon valley congressional race. taking another unexpected turn. two people are now asking for a recount of the primary results

that ended in a tie. the request came in just before the deadline last night. former san jose mayor sam liccardo secured a spot in november's runoff to represent district 16. so we're not talking about him. we're talking about this second place where assemblyman evan low and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian came in with the exact number of votes, which means that all three will appear on november's ballot. or will they? you see if a recount comes up with different results, then we have a different situation. it's unclear whether the people who asked for the recount have ties to any of these campaigns. the plot thickens as cruz says it will be resuming service in arizona. >> the autonomous taxi service plans to restart manual driving, with a goal of resuming driverless operations in phoenix and then expanding that to other cities. cruz says for now, it will return to the road with human driven vehicles without the autonomous systems engaged.

cruz posits operations nationwide. last november, when california regulators ordered it to stop its driverless taxi service in san francisco after a series of traffic incidents. they include a cruz vehicle dragging a pedestrian 20ft after that person was hit by another car. if the warriors end up playing the lakers in the play-in game, they hope it goes as well as things did last night. the doves hit a season high 26 three pointers in a 134 120 win in los angeles golden state still in 10th place, so that means they would have to win two road games to make the playoffs. but with the win last night, the warriors are just a half game behind the lakers and the kings. the warriors have three regular season games left. the play in games are next week. >> now for your morning money report. get ready to pay more for stamps. the us postal service wants to increase prices on its first class forever stamps by $0.05. that makes them

$0.73. postcard prices are also set to increase by $0.03 for domestic and $0.10 for international. while the postal service is struggling financially, it's expected to lose more than $6 billion just this year. the latest inflation report shows the consumer price index was at 3.5% in march. that's up from 3.2 in february. the report shows the price of gas, rent, car insurance all contributed to the higher number. that will all likely give pause to the fed as it weighs when and by how much to cut interest rates this year. taking a live look at the new york stock exchange as trading gets underway right now, we are significantly down this morning, about 530 points. >> everything is coming up. wild flowers in the bay area this week because it's super bloom season. poppies are popping up in the east bay along with lavender. experts say it won't rival last year's super bloom, but it will be a pretty spectacular season. and that's thanks in part to a lot of rain.
