afternoon. so the coast is breezier than say, we were yesterday. current temperatures right now, most of us beginning in the 50s at 53 in oakland, 51 in the city, san jose is step outside in parts of the south bay, and it feels pretty mild temperatures in the upper 50s right now, cooler in the north bay, santa rosa coming in at 46 degrees, looking quite lovely from our tam cam. so a lot of sunshine today. it's another morning where those temperatures take off pretty fast and into the afternoon. it's a warm april day with those sunny skies, 70 and 80 away from the coast along the immediate coastline. it's slightly cooler than yesterday thanks to a stronger breeze, but still, 60 in half moon bay is nice. 69 in the city, 74 in oakland, warm in san jose at 8078, in santa rosa at 79, in concord. >> reggie kumasi drew thank you. new developments out of west oakland, where police say an officer shot and killed an alleged homicide suspect. this happened around 930 last night near defremery park on the corner of 16th and adeline street. oakland. police say sacramento police officers were in oakland conducting a homicide investigation. those officers asked oakland for help arresting

a suspect. >> oakland police officers arrived on scene and as they began securing the area and requesting additional resources, the suspect emerged from the residence with the firearm. oakland police officers discharged their service firearm, fatally striking the suspect. >> no officers were hurt and there's no current threat to the public. oakland police now investigating the shooting this morning, house speaker mike johnson is facing threats from his own party that could cost him his job, and amanda, it appears to be over federal funding for ongoing foreign conflicts. >> yeah. >> kumasi speaker mike johnson says he will call for a vote on funding for the war in ukraine, saying, quote, this is not a game. earlier this week, johnson announced plans to break up the $95 billion bill that would send money to israel, ukraine and taiwan into separate bills. conservative republicans oppose funding for ukraine, saying they want more spending on us border security. first congress woman marjorie taylor greene

threatened to try and remove johnson as speaker if he brings up ukraine funding for a vote. but last night, greene said she would not start that process until after the foreign aid packages go to the house floor. >> to put it bluntly, i would rather send bullets to ukraine than american boys. my son is going to begin in the naval academy this fall. this is a live fire exercise for me as it is so many american families. this is not a game. it's not a joke. >> yesterday in northern ukraine, at least 17 people were killed in an airstrike. it's an attack officials say could have been stopped if ukraine had adequate air defenses. those house bills on aid for israel, ukraine and taiwan are due for a vote by saturday. reggie. >> all right. thanks so much, amanda. google confirms it fired 28 employees over the decision to hold a sit in protest in their offices on monday via live stream. we saw people taken into custody from the google campus in sunnyvale. google says a small number of employees did disrupt things as some of its

offices. here's their statement. it says, quote, physically impeding other employees work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies. and completely unacceptable behavior. after refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety. san francisco's da is asking for anyone who was stuck in that traffic because of monday morning's protests on the golden gate bridge to come forward, she says. you could be entitled to restitution. protesters shut down the golden gate bridge and parts of 8-80. in oakland, police arrested 26 protesters from the bridge demonstration. they were released pending further investigation. potential charges include unlawful assembly, resisting an officer, false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit a crime, a possible felony that requires us to have specific evidence related to each one of the 26 people. >> we need video evidence. we need statements from people impacted by the protest who were witnesses to what occurred in

the east bay, alameda county, da pamela price is investigating protesters who shot down 8-80 in oakland. >> in a statement to abc seven news, she writes, our prosecutors are standing by and prepared to receive case information for individuals arrested during that incident. while my office supports the essential right to protest, it's important to note that public safety should never be compromised. >> a man is suing the city of san francisco, claiming officers wrongly arrested him during the bay bridge gaza protest in november, the lawsuit claims. the pleasanton man was jailed during the protests that blocked traffic on that bridge for four hours. it happened the same week as the apec summit when president biden and chinese president xi jinping were both visiting san francisco. so the man says he was not a part of the november protest and should have never been arrested. he is seeking damages and financial relief. san francisco police say a 14 year old boy is suspected of setting this fire that

destroyed a waymo robo taxi in chinatown back in february. fireworks were set off inside the car. the video shows people smashing its windows with a skateboard and committing other acts of vandalism. police say they searched the boy's home last month and found evidence linking him to the crime. prosecutors have filed charges, but it is up to the juvenile probation department to determine whether or not he will be arrested. >> san francisco marking the 118th anniversary of the 1906 earthquake and fire that nearly destroyed the city. abc seven news reporter ryan curry is live at lotta's fountain, where a pre-dawn ceremony got underway. ryan >> yeah. reggie. hi. good morning. that ceremony wrapping up a little less than an hour ago. a lot of people have now dispersed, but this is the wreath that they laid on top of the fountain. you can kind of see it's a little bit tough to make out, but there is a banner on the bottom dedicating it to the late senator dianne feinstein. she's being honored at this event today for her work, obviously, for years in

the city of san francisco, while they also honor those many lives who were lost during that 1906 earthquake. people started gathering around 445 this morning for mayor willie brown, the fire department, police, sheriff's office, all were here, as well as the department of emergency management. at 511, there was a moment of silence dedicated to those who lost their lives and also the survivors who went on to help rebuild the city. a minute later, sirens from police and fire trucks went on for about 30s because that is when the fire happened. following that earthquake. there is a great significance of this fountain. it is one of the last surviving monuments from that 1906 earthquake. survivors came here to post notices looking for family or friends in the rubble. it's the oldest surviving monument. from that day, i spoke with officials who remember that this is a time to also think about what's going to happen when that earthquake hits san francisco again, and also how resilient this city is. >> would i be wrong if i said

every san franciscan should here the reading of the quake of 1906, information that has made this city so believable in its ability to recover from everything just right back. >> well, we want people to, you know, take time to think about preparedness. what would you do if you lost power, if we had no phone, you know, cell internet connection? what if water wasn't coming out of the tap? have you taken the steps to prepare yourself, your family and your community for that kind of condition and we have a lot of information at the department of emergency management and at sf 72.org, to help people get ready . >> more than 3000 people died and hundreds of thousands lost their homes in that 7.8 earthquake. and those subsequent fires following this morning

ceremony and later on, a lot of the people there are going to dolores park where they're going to be building the fire hydrant that they say was there in 1906, that helped them save the entire mission district. so a lot of history here in san francisco, and good tips for what's going to happen when an earthquake hits san francisco again. but for now, reporting live downtown. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> thanks, ryan. 609 this morning. what a view from the exploratorium camera. we are totally cloud free from this camera angle, and we're not seeing any dense fog developing this morning. and the bay waters there calm. if you're taking the ferries this morning, it should be a nice ride throughout the entire bay. looking at the morning drive, if you're hitting the roads, we will find very easy weather conditions. it's just a mix of sun and clouds throughout the morning. temperatures pretty mild starting out in the 50s. another morning just like yesterday where those numbers do quickly warm already into the 60s. by 10 a.m, here's live doppler seven along with satellite. we have pretty quiet conditions as we

find that last image on satellite just blinking a bit. future weather as we head through the hour by hour forecast. by ten, we're into the 60s, into the afternoon. another warm one under mostly sunny skies, 70s and 80s. for many cities. and this evening, if you have anything outside, it is going to be pleasant. once again. that breeze onshore keeping the coast in the 50s but 60s and 70s. even at 7 p.m. across the state. if you are traveling, it is warm 80s for the central valley, southern california in the 60s and 70s, the deserts in the 90s, south lake tahoe, lovely today, sunny in near 60 degrees. back here at home, warm sunshine today. a little bit cooler tomorrow. but those temperatures start to rebound over the weekend and we will get a dry and sunny weekend on the way. we'll have that complete weekend forecast coming up in just a few minutes. >> reggie drew, thank you. redesigning streets the proposed changes to a san francisco intersection that was the site of a deadly crash and luxury experience. the premium amenities american airlines is unveiling just in time for the summer travel season, bidding on

this happened in august at the intersection of fourth and king streets. police say it was an accident, and the 71 year old driver has pleaded guilty to a

misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charge. that means she won't go to jail, and that's a decision that is not sitting well with some people. >> she is beyond remorseful, and her life is has been forever changed. >> i mean, i think there's a dangerous precedent set when you give really lenient, you know, sentences for people killing other people with their cars. >> as part of the deal, the driver will be on probation for two years and have to do 400 hours of community service, as well as complete a driver's ed course. happening today, sfmta is set to propose changes to a traffic intersection that was recently the site of a fatal crash. the transit agency will take up the proposed reconfiguration that would prevent cars from cutting through the intersection of yulo street and west portal avenue. this is the same area where just a month ago, an suv crashed through a bus stop, killing a

family of four. among the proposals, drivers heading toward the muni station from west portal avenue or yulo street would be forced to make a right turn. cars would no longer be allowed to access yulo from claremont avenue nearby, and lenox way, which also crosses yulo, would be converted into a one way with cars rerouted the roadways would form what sfmta officials call a grand welcome plaza at the front of the west portal. muni station. issues continue to mount for boeing, the plane maker once again at the center of a senate hearing in washington, dc, and amanda, a former employee, had a lot to say to lawmakers about the company's culture of safety. >> reggie, that former boeing employee, testified yesterday accusing boeing of taking shortcuts to save time and money . new video released by boeing shows so-called fatigue testing on its plane. it's a device that bangs on the panels, which simulates what planes experienced during long time use. in this video, boeing intentionally damaged the panel

to see if the banging would cause the fuselage to tear. unlike previous generation planes where metal fatigue caused holes to tear. boeing claims the composite material on the 787 dreamliner prevented further damage. boeing released the video following several of its employees testifying on capitol hill, questioning the quality and safety of boeing's planes. >> in a rush to address its bottlenecks in production. boeing hit problems, pushing pieces together with excessive force to make them appear that the gaps don't exist, even though they exist during the hearing, that former employee provided no evidence to support his claims. >> boeing calls the claims inaccurate and says it is confident in the safety and durability of its 787 jets. >> this is a watershed moment for boeing. it doesn't mean that they are going downhill in terms of overall quality. it does mean that they've got to change the way they view on the front lines. their responsibilities

towards personal responsibilities, towards safety, and that's what's been slipping over time. the idea that they could they could have things wrong with the airplane as it's going down the production line, but still push it to the next position on the line, rather than stopping the line and making sure it was right. >> boeing is standing behind its fleets, saying it's fully confident in the 787, which, quote, has safely flown more than 3.9 billion passengers around the world. boeing says it encourages employees to say something if they see something wrong. back to you at the desk. >> thank you. amanda. american airlines is gearing up for the summer travel season with its new onboard luxury experience. the world's largest airline just unveiled its first ever rotating collection of premium amenities for passengers. so the features include new bedding, diverse designer brand amenities and brand new inflight dining options. american airlines is planning to roll out these new features. >> memorial day weekend crazy rich asians is going to broadway. the blockbuster 2018

it's a little bit cooler with a little bit of cloud cover around santa rosa at 46 right now, 47 in mill valley, clearlake coming in at 57 degrees. so we'll take an hour by hour. look at the forecast. but it's a mild morning out here. we'll have just a few clouds from time to time. temperatures warm fast just like yesterday and into the afternoon we'll find 60s coast side, the bay shoreline back into the 70s and inland back into the 80s and our warmest city. so a little bit of a stronger onshore breeze this afternoon keeps half moon bay at 6069. in the city today, 80 in san jose, warm inland at 79. in concord, 74 in oakland. santa rosa, up to 78 degrees. right kumasi. >> thank you. drew. the near-total abortion ban in arizona will be moving forward after republicans in the state house blocked an attempt to repeal it yesterday. and, amanda, we are learning that now state senators have started working on a new bill aimed at abolishing the law and kumasi it could be weeks before that bill is introduced. >> it's a response to the failed attempt by democrats to repeal the 1864 abortion ban. yesterday

arizona is now one of 21 states to ban or restrict abortion. since the overturning of roe v wade and arizona is one of 14 states where abortion could be on the ballot this fall, abortion rights have won every time it's gone before voters, even in conservative states. democrats in arizona are now using the civil war era law to mobilize voters ahead of november's election. >> if you believe that a 12 year old who has been raped by her stepfather should be forced to give birth, vote for the republican party. if you believe that families and medical providers should make their own decisions about their futures, vote for democrats. >> the biden campaign is tying the issue to former president trump, who appointed three of the justices who helped overturn roe. trump has said arizona did go too far with this ban and now says he is against a national abortion ban, although in february he said he'd consider supporting one. back to you at the desk, reggie.

>> thanks, amanda. new developments on east san jose's regional medical center. santa clara county officials are asking the state to help stop the closure of its trauma center. it's scheduled to close in august. in february, the hospital announced the shutdown of its level two trauma center and stemi program for cardiac arrest treatments. the county's board of supervisors and residents say closing the hospital could lead to more deaths and further harm patients. the county is expected to submit its case to deny the closure to the state public health department tomorrow. >> neighbors and city leaders in san jose all came together to address several street encampments in one part of the city. they say these encampments lineeveral sections of willow street, and now city leaders are working through their options. the mayor brought up two options. the first would continue what he called the status quo approach and increase cleanup and some enforcement. but the encampment would remain as is. the second option garnered some heated reaction. the mayor proposed the city could use the land across the

street owned by valley water, and create a safe sleeping site with rules. >> add spaces that are managed, and then we shut down spaces that are unmanaged. or we can take valley waters offer and take that paved area. i know some of you don't like it. no, no. >> the mayor says this is an open conversation that will continue in order to find a solution. >> pumping life in the downtown san francisco has grabbed lawmakers attention at the state capitol. there are now multiple proposals weaving through the legislature. one bill introduced yesterday by assembly member phil ting, would help the city with its plan to turn vacant office space into housing. his bill would create a revitalization district that would rely on tax incentives. >> while many people know our famous office buildings, the newer office buildings, those really won't be the ones that will be converted. it'll probably be some of the older buildings, the buildings that

are smaller, less famous because those are the ones that are easier to convert into housing. >> ting estimates the city has 32 point 6,000,000ft■!s of empty office space. that's the equivalent of 23 salesforce towers. there's a second bill backed by scott wiener that made it out of committee. >> watch where you park in san francisco. the city is preparing to crack down on illegal parking and give out more tickets. sfmta's director says cities the city's parking enforcement officers will finally be able to start enforcing all the parking rules after being short staffed after the pandemic. abc seven news spoke with the transport advocate, who said this approach is key for public safety. >> we know that people who park on sidewalks or in bike lanes or in crosswalks or really close to intersections reduce safety for all people, but especially for children and seniors, people with disabilities who walk, bike or use mobility devices to get

around. >> well, the whole city is trying to get more money because of the deficit. the budget deficit. >> sfmta anticipates a $12.7 million deficit during this fiscal year and next. >> new at six. the oakland baller is expected to have some major upgrades to its baseball field. the oakland city council unanimously voted to approve $1.6 million to upgrade raymond park. it will allow the independent baseball team to play its inaugural home games on the field. funding for upgrades to the west oakland park will come from private investors. the city council will vote again for a final approval at its meeting at the end of the month. the team's home opener is june 4th. >> san francisco is marking 118 years since the 1906 earthquake and fire nearly destroyed the city. abc seven news reporter ryan curry live at lotta's fountain with a look at the ceremony today. ryan >> yeah. kumasi. good morning. that ceremony ending about over an hour ago. but this is lotta's

fountain, and you can see the wreath that is on top of the fountain with those honoring the many victims of the 1906 earthquake, including that of late senator dianne feinstein. she is being honored as well with this year's ceremony. lotta's fountain holding a huge piece of history for san francisco. and that day, 118 years ago, a lot of people came here posting notices uh- looking for loved ones, looking for family members who were lost in the rubble while that fire was ongoing and so this to this day, being a piece where people can remember that same day, years and years and years ago, a lot of people were on hand. we're talking about fire department, police, sheriff's department. all of them were here around 445 in the morning. and at about 511, there was a moment of silence. uh- honoring those who lost their lives years ago. and at 512, a minute after siren sounded to commemorate the many fire departments and police who held those dealing with the fire. when that earthquake hit back in 1906, 3000 people died

and the fires nearly destroyed the entire city and those i spoke with today say we need to be ready for when that next earthquake comes. >> i just want to thank everybody for being here at 512 in the morning. but as the fire chief and everybody that's spoken has said, you know, san francisco show resiliency is in our dna. >> thing about this day that we commemorate every year. it is just a crucial reminder of where we live and the risks, the earthquake risks that we have here. one of the challenges of being prepared as a city is the length of time we've gone since we've had an earthquake, so it's just not on top of mind this day. and then also in october, or when we really try to remind people, reflect on what happened and what we know is not a matter of if, but when will happen again.

>> and a key thing to remember from the department of emergency management is to understand that despite the fact we live in this technological, advanced society, if a big earthquake happens to that magnitude, it knocks out power and knocks out communications. it's going to be difficult, even still, to get a hold of loved ones and to find out really what's going on and where people need to go. so understanding that and being prepared for that is why this day is so important to help. remember that it's important to be prepared. and also the people who were here this morning, they're holding another ceremony near dolores park in the mission to build a fire hydrant that the fire department used back then to help save that district from burning down. so a big day, a big piece of history for san francisco. but for now, reporting live downtown. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> ryan, thank you. temporary closure. why an east bay library is shutting its doors until at least the fall. >> and you are looking live right now at the big board at the new york stock exchange. we're up right now by about 125 points. another update on the markets next giving back even after her passing. >> how south bay teacher is
