why one of the groups was told to leave the area over security concerns. our emma goss live in stamford tonight, plus chat over gun song and praise to celebrate

a life well lived. how san francisco's glide memorial is remembering the late civil rights legend reverend cecil williams today, and thick black smoke you could see from miles away what we know about this east bay container fire. we begin with those dueling demonstrations at stanford today. pro-palestinian protesters have been camping out at white plaza for weeks. we've been reporting that today they were met by jewish and non-jewish students rallying against hate. we have learned the jewish students and their allies were asked to leave the area by campus security because of alleged heightened security concerns. nbc bay area's emma goss is live for us at stanford tonight. and, emma, what is happening now and what are both sides saying? gianna and terry, things are quiet now that the dueling protests and rallies have ended. but at one point there were some 2000 people

gathered here around white plaza and there were pro-palestinian activists with the encampment, you can see the encampment right where i'm standing. they held a rally and just yards away, simultaneous holly there were stanford's jewish student group, the lithium club. they organized a multi-faith community. rally calling to free the remaining hostages being held by hamas and calling for peace. a message of humanity. and it's a message of people coming together to stand against terror and to stand against hatred. we pride ourselves on the fact that it was an interfaith rally, and that it was a coalition that was built. what people are scared about is not just jews blaming things as being anti-semitic. it is genuine hatred, genuine anti-semitism. after more than an hour of speeches from jewish pro-israel speakers as well as hindu, chinese, muslim and iranian speakers, suddenly and i observed abruptly the rally had to relocate back to where it started on the stanford oval,

which is just about a ten minute walk. i spoke to stanford's chabad rabbi about why the rally relocated and continued elsewhere, and he told me that campus security had spoken to him there and that they said there was a safety concern. and so, to preserve the security of the event, the group moved elsewhere on campus. i'm still working to learn all the details about that security concern, and i will be speaking to members of the encampment in just a bit. but i did observe at the end in the stanford oval that the pro-israel rally with the interfaith community did continue peacefully and without incident, reporting from stanford live emma goss, nbc, bay area news. emma, thank you very much. in north carolina, dozens of students at duke university walked out of comedian jerry seinfeld's commencement speech. you can also hear some booing on this video, but it's unclear if it was intended for the 70 year old or for the protesters. this happened when he was announced

to deliver the speech before receiving an honorary degree. some of the protesters walked out holding palestinian flags. seinfeld, who was jewish, has been vocally supportive of israel, actually visited the country after the october 7th attacks. he delivered his speech on interrupted earlier this week. president biden warned that the u.s. would withhold weapons if israel launched an offensive on rafah this morning on meet the press, secretary of state antony blinken declined to identify the biden administration's red line with israel. instead, blinken repeated concerns about israel's invasion without detailing how civilians would be protected. what we've seen over the last few months is a deep concern on our part about the possibility of a major military operation in rafah, given the damage it would do to civilians. there are more than 1.4 million gazans in rafah. most of whom have moved from other parts of gaza. absent a credible plan to get them out of harm's way and to support them. president's been clear for some time that we couldn't and

would not support a major military operation in rafah. blinken went on to say that the conflict is incredibly complex because of hamas's strategy of hiding under schools and hospitals and apartment buildings, he said. while israel has broken international humanitarian laws, the civilians killed have been, quote, caught in a crossfire of hamas's making and a reminder you can catch more exclusive interviews on meet the press with kirsten welker. watch every sunday at eight right here on nbc. bay area. it was a day of celebration for reverend cecil williams, the longtime leader of san francisco's glide memorial church was a champion of racial equality, lgbtq rights and the poor over the past several decades, williams transformed glide into a pioneer of civil rights activism, lgbtq inclusivity, and service to the neighborhood. today, the congregation celebrated his life and legacy with a special service nbc bay area sergio quintana was there. everyone for

one day when the glory comes. sunday service at glide memorial is unlike most congregations in san francisco, and for this celebration of reverend cecil williams, the music was as amazing as usual. what was different are the first hand lessons on life in the city from people who grew up here, including mayor london breed. what my grandmother, who raised me, said, if you get in trouble, if there is a problem and you run into some type of situation, find cecil williams. cecil williams arrived at glide memorial church in 1963. his activism is like a history lesson on civil rights, lgbtq acceptance and advocacy, and political history. i remember bringing my presidential candidate, the first african american woman elected to congress, shirley chisholm. yes, in 1972. it's been nearly three

weeks since reverend williams passed away. he was 94. his daughter, kimberly williams, was with him. it was a bright, sunny morning. it was a fine day to take his freedom flight and liberate himself from the mortal vessel. he was full of joy and light that day. i want everyone to know he was radiant. this celebration of the life of reverend cecil williams is also a remembrance of service to the tenderloin and the city of san francisco that spans decades. and among those paying their respects, members of the church who say williams quickly accepted them into the congregation and even changed their lives. it's actually my 14th year in the city, and i always, felt like this was my home and glide really solidified that. i'm clean and sober 12 years today, and i give thanks to glide memorial in san francisco, sergio quintana. nbc, bay area news. well, firefighters made quick work of a container fire just outside the port of oakland today. started around 330 this

trending a little bit cooler tomorrow as more of that marine air brings down temperatures. a bit more for your monday. so right now, onshore winds 10 to 20mph pushing in the clouds there around san francisco, moving through the san bruno gap down towards sfo that will be across the inner bay by later this evening. and for the entire bay area as we move forward towards tomorrow morning. some drizzle possible at times along if those low clouds early, then back into the sunshine inland as we head into the afternoon. latest check on the aurora numbers. notice here was where we were friday night with those high levels above eight on the cape and last night they dropped off so we didn't see much of an aurora across northern california. might see it come up a bit tonight. the level though, has to get way up here to eight. but tonight's forecast brings it up to about seven. so how that will likely impact any aurora viewing over the next 24 hours is that the best chances might stay up here around the pacific northwest. stay tuned. we'll bring you another update to these numbers coming up tonight

at 11:00 tomorrow morning, waking up to the low clouds spotted drizzle and a few areas low 50s rebounding temperatures into the 70s for most places inland, including places that were in the 80s today around livermore and over towards concord. so a little bit cooler on monday. and those temperatures rebound from tuesday, wednesday and thursday. 70s and 80s inland. doesn't look like we're going to see any 90s in the forecast. a very comfortable but probably a little bit chilly there on the coast as those onshore winds continue and the jet stream likely staying to the north. as we head through the next 5 to 7 days, things will be staying dry and more or less like summer microclimates here. early in may, with 60s around san francisco trending a little bit warmer by midweek, and valley temperatures will see a few more 80s looks like mid 80s for most places wednesday and thursday, then trending a little bit cooler, just like this weekend for next weekend, all right, you did a good job. i think you could do this. she was right on the money. how'd you know? i

an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like: hazy or blurred vision, so it's hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com

and shout out to giants coach alyssa naked in the dugout for her first mother's day as a mom. tough break now for the giants in the first inning against the reds. jeimer candelario doubles off the wall in center. jungwoo lee is hurt running into the wall. he leaves the game. they say it's a dislocate shoulder. he'll have an mri tomorrow to determine just how long he will be out. all right. the game was tied five five in the bottom of the 10th with two on. casey schmidt, his first hit of the season. and it is a good one. a ground rule double that plates the winning run. the giants beat the reds six 5 in 10 innings. the injury to lee put a bit of a damper on the victory party. it's great to win a game when you have a lot of bad news, you know during the course of it. but yeah, a lot of a lot of the younger guys are getting opportunities like we talked about before the game came through. obviously that's huge for schmitty right there. there's just a lot of contributions in different ways. today ended up being a good, good day as far as win loss for
