6:00 pm
march is a march for immigration rights and they are calling that -- they are calling an end to the deportation. now, about 500 up to even 1,000 people were marching at one point down international boulevard and also on foothill boulevard. they left the fruitvale bart plaza here around 3:30 this afternoon and they are still marching on foothill boulevard. so far, police are saying that things have been very calm. very peaceful. no major issues to report. the problem is because they are marching on the street, they are causing quite a bit of traffic issues. buses being diverted, a lot of cars not being able to move around. and so there's a lot of upset drivers. that's been the main issue thus far. but for the most part, in terms of any problems or issues created within the march, very peaceful. things have been going pretty well at this point. [ drumming ] >> reporter: let's come back
6:01 pm
live. you can see a small group of folks right here still doing their dancing, still celebrating may day. live in east oakland, i'll send it back to you. >> all right. da lin reporting live from oakland. he says there's a traffic problem more than anything else now but we'll keep an eye from chopper 5. meanwhile, in san jose, protestors marched in solidarity pushing for changes to deportation laws. immigration was a big topic today. people chanted. this group started at our lady of guadalupe catholic church and headed to city hall. within the last half hour a march in san francisco has gotten under way. we'll bring you video of that as soon as it comes into the newsroom. the nba took the first step an hour ago in forcing donald sterling to sell the l.a. clippers. it comes as the clippers and and warriors are about to play game 6 of the play-off series. christin ayers is at oracle arena where the game has once again taken a back seat to the
6:02 pm
scandal. christin. >> reporter: that's right. game six 90 minutes away, fans are here with signs. the warriors will be playing with their backs against the wall tonight. the back adrop is chaos with the lifetime ban of donald sterling after making racist comments. he showed his face in public for the first time in beverly hills. >> the majority of the owners wants you to sell the franchise, will you sell? have you apologized to the players and the staff? >> reporter: he had no comment for tmz. that vote could come quickly. the nba's advisory and finance committee meeting today released a statement saying they have agreed unanimously to push forward with the process to terminate the ownership of
6:03 pm
the clippers. tonight the warriors have home-court advantage and are going to be working for it for sure tonight. that game starts at 7:30. back to you. >> thank you. the results are dismal after today's final snow survey of the season. the state water department says water content in the sierra nevada snowpack is only 18% of average. most reservoirs that supply drinking water are only half full. the puny snowpack means little improvement for those lakes as the snow melts down. people in santa cruz are the first in northern california living with mandatory water rationing. single-family homes are being restricted to go to 249 gallons a day. customers who use more than that will be fined $25 for the first 10% over. $50 for each 10% after that. you may be wondering how can
6:04 pm
santa cruz be facing mandatory restrictions when other parts of our area are not even hearing about the drought? well, allen martin is going to take us on a little tour to see where things stand. allen. >> reporter: we know, ken, back in january, it looked like everybody in the bay area was in for a long dry summer. the state of your water supply depends on where you call home. >> that will save some water. >> reporter: if you live in santa cruz, it's no longer a polite request. the new mandatory restrictions are a perfect example of how one water supply is not like the others. here, water is 100% local right out of flowing creeks. that means santa cruz can't dip into storage or call up reinforcements. >> really the first time that we have had the opportunity to bring in water from the sacramento river. >> reporter: which is exactly what east bay m.u.d. did yesterday buying an additional 5 billion gallons worth from the sacramento river. that purchase means the district is in good shape for the summer much like the contra costa water district which has
6:05 pm
a contract to draw water from the sacrament-san joaquin delta. but buying in bulk isn't an option for everyone. take marin county which was in dire straits until march storms pushed reservoirs back to 90% capacity. head north on 101, and the story changes quickly. >> we have recently passed the stage 2 ordinance requesting the citizens to cut back 25%. >> reporter: in northern sonoma and mendocino counties, the equation gets more problematic. here lakes must feed people, rivers and fish. and the state government can decide when to turn off the taps if rivers start to run dry. that hasn't happened since the drought of 1977, but state water officials are expected to do it again any day now. >> there will be cutbacks and junior users will be seeing cutbacks and maybe even some higher on the seniority ladder. >> reporter: a unique piece of the puzzle is the south bay where the santa clara water district doesn't have the
6:06 pm
authority to issue districtwide restrictions. that is up to the individual providers. so morgan hill, mandatory restrictions. most other south bay communities, not yet. but that could change. >> santa cruz -- >> reporter: so where does it go? a few fixtures are the biggest guzzlers. an older toilet can use up to 5 gallons of flush. a single load of laundry, 25 to 36 gallons. and a 10-minute shower appear additional 25 gallons. starting today in santa cruz, a family of four is allotted 249 gallons a day. if you go 10% over that, that's 25 gallons. you're fined 25 bucks. for every 10% more over that, it's $50. if you have two teenagers at home taking an extra 10-minute shower each with a low flow shower ahead it will cost you 75 bucks and it adds up fast. >> the and that's the point. it's punitive. >> reporter: it is. this is all short-term stuff. what we need is a long-term solution and that's more storage statewide. >> all right.
6:07 pm
allen, thank you for that. we're about to cool down from this spring heat wave. tonight paul deanno in the mobile weather lab in pacifica. paul, it is gorgeous out there. >> reporter: it's gorgeous because the heat of yesterday, the temperatures in the tupper 80s at the beach, they're gone. we are getting just the lightest onshore flow. the beginning of the end of our heat wave, but trust me, it is still plenty warm outside if you have not been outside yet. couple of records were set today. oakland you hit 89 degrees. san rafael record high 91 degrees. mountain view 89. look at san jose, you hit the low 90s today. napa 91. pacifica earlier today did hit 84. san francisco degrees cooler 84 degrees 6 degrees cooler. livermore hot at 95. right now we are cooling off but still warm. pleasanton 89. fairfield 90. concord 86. san jose 83. we are live in pacifica where the beach is hopping. the heat is gone, onshore flow
6:08 pm
just beginning. the heat wave will soon be ending. we'll talk about how chilly we're going to get coming up in about 10 minutes. back to you. >> thank you. for the first time state corrections officials are admitting they are starting to release some prisoners early to reduce overcrowding. prison officials insist there's no danger to public safety. but some police told reporter dave bryan they have their doubts. under orders from a federal court to reduce overcrowding in state prisons, corrections officials now say some nonviolent second strike offenders are being released early if they earn more time off for good behavior. >> for many it means the release date is changed by a matter of days. >> reporter: state officials aren't calling it early release. they say the release dates for some prisoners have been we calculated. shortened because they're being given more credit for good behavior. in other words they are getting more time cut off their sentences. >> we could be talking about hundreds over the course of the next couple of years.
6:09 pm
>> reporter: the changes started a couple of weeks ago. the released inmates are supervised by parole agents or probation officers. >> we're concerned about any early release program. >> reporter: gardena police chief edward medrano past president of the l.a. county police chiefs association says there is plenty of concern that the state is pushing more and more of the burden on local counties and not properly reimbursing them. his primary concern he says is the impact this early release might have on public safety. >> i think that people really need to be concerned about early releases and the fact that it does have a trickle- down effect in terms of the entire process. people are spending a fraction of their time in jail. >> reporter: dave bryan, kpix 5. >> police worry in the future the program may start cutting bigger chunks of an inmate's sentence and that more dangerous offenders might be released earlier, too. tesla motors has been fined by state safety officials. the company has been ordered to pay $89,000 for violations related to an incident that
6:10 pm
burned three workers last november. the three were using a low pressure aluminum casting press that malfunctioned. cal/osha says tesla failed to ensure the equipment in the fremont plant was in a safe operating condition. workers were also not wearing protective gear. today a superior court judge ordered a temporary stop to the controversial cost- cutting effort known as measure b in san jose. police, firefighters and other union members had rallied against the part of the measure that reduces their pay. they appealed calling the voter- approved measure destructive and divisive. san jose mayor chuck reed says measure b has already saved the city over $20 million this year. >> cost savings are really important to restoring services. our retirement costs continue to go up. they are going to go up by many millions of dollars this year. and getting control over those skyrocketing costs is a key to putting our city on a good fiscal foundation. we managed to reduce them somewhat with the savings that
6:11 pm
voters approved. there's more we need to do but we will wait until we finish with the litigation before we can move ahead. >> today's action extends the union's current agreement with the city until next july. there are two giant dogs eating my dogs. >> loose dogs so dangerous, an entire school is put on lockdown. the drastic tactic to subdue the threat. >> plus, how an unusual vessel sailing on the bay is harnessing the power of nature. >> it's going to feel very vibrant, very alive. it's not going to feel like a big open void. >> in a city with a reputation for crime, how a struggling real estate jewel is being transformed.

rare cancer of the nerve cells. >> this is the patient. >> reporter: and these are his tumors. everything in black is cancer. chemotherapy wasn't enough. so his parents brought him here to ucsf. turns out, it's the only place in california that could help buy their little boy some time. for a bone marrow transplant that could save him. >> i hope we can get his disease under control with this therapy that we can shrink his tumors. >> reporter: the therapy is given by iv. what makes it unique? only cancerous nerve cells can absorb it. and in the drug, doctors have attached a high-powered weapon, a radioactive isotope. >> it's a way of delivering high energy radiation to tumors not just in one place but to tumors everywhere in the entire body. >> reporter: but that radiation also turns noah radioactive. he must be kept isolated in a lead-shielded room for days to protect his family and the hospital staff.
6:46 pm
a big lead plate is placed in front of his crib. to keep a 3-year-old calm? >> we need to give him just enough sedation to take the edge off but not so much that they fall into a deep sleep. >> it's definitely helping him relax and helps me relax because now i know he is not a danger to anybody. >> reporter: everyone who enters the room has to wear a radiation detector and disposable clothing. thanks to cameras around the room, noah's family and the hospital staff can keep a trained eye on him and his vital signs. his mom can't wait to get him home. >> i want him to grow up to be a healthy, happy normal boy and put this all behind him. that's my hope. >> well, kids like noah have about a 50% chance of survival. noah will be radioactive for a couple of more weeks. but that diminishes every day. tonight it's safe for his parents to be near him.

he was in the islands and now he is back on the mainland. dennis o'donnell has sports. >> reporter: what happened?! the sharks pull a three games to none lead. they lose. an nba owner thrown out and now the warriors are on the brink of elimination. good to be back because the warriors need to win this game. that's the equation. a win, they force a game 7. lose and they go home. the warrior coach mark jackson is taking the high road. >> i'm not going to say we like where we are. but we certainly if say can we win a game after losing? we have done that in this series. if you say, can we win a game in l.a.? we've done that. so the task is not, you know, a task that we're looking at
6:54 pm
that cannot be done. >> now, the last time the warriors were in the building steph curry came out with a 17- point 1st quarter. well, it was an amazing performance. it was still 12 shy of sleepy boy's nba record 29-point quarter in a play-off game against the showtime lakers nearly 30 years ago. alongside now is sleepy floyd. wherever you go especially in oakland is that the first thing people you are reminded of? >> everywhere around the country people remember that game beating the mighty lakers down 0-3. we was down 14 going into the 4th quarter we make a miraculous comeback. i had an outstanding game playing instinctively. the crowd was rocking, fans were great just like it's going to be tonight. the energy in the building will be out the roof. i'm looking forward to a great performance by the warriors tonight. >> let me ask you about the donald sterling issuer. do you feel that the nba
6:55 pm
players missed an opportunity to make a real bold statement? should they have boycotted last sunday's game? >> november. what -- no. what they did was enough. these guys work tremendously to work where they are. there's a lot of blood, sweat, tears and injuries to get to this position. i think they handled it professionally. i was so proud as a former player the way they handled it and it's -- as long as it gets taken care of, gonna take a little time, everybody should be okay. looking back on it was so professional and i'm proud of them. >> reporter: if there's one player in the nba who can beat that 29-point performance in the 1st quarter who might be that? >> stephen curry here! >> reporter: you are such a homer! [ laughter ] >> he is close. he is right there. so he can do it. >> warriors better hope that he does it tonight. meanwhile, it's going to be a long summer i think for the sharks. becoming just the fourth team in nhl history to lose a series after being up three games to
6:56 pm
none. san jose took an early lead last night before the wheels fell off. the kings scored five unanswered goals at the tank to win game 7. san jose's offense went missing in action at the wrong time as they were 0 for 15 on the power play in the final three games of that series. . >> it's tough saying it the better team won the series. it's tough. >> we're kidding ourselves if we think we were closer this year just because it went seven gays. i don't know what it was, 16-5 in the last four games. not even close. we had a core group of individuals that didn't get on the score sheet. so it wasn't -- last year was a lot closer than it was this year. >> same old story for the sharks. their best players come up small when they are needed the most. marleau, pavelski, thornton and couture combined for three points and no goals in the final four games. >> the birds held off the mavs last night in game five to take
6:57 pm
a 3-2 lead. san antonio will have a chance to close out the series friday night. but that doesn't mean popovich is ready to breathe a sigh of relief. >> there's anxiousness the day before the game, before the game and all during the game. it's not just -- it's not just when somebody shoots a shot in the third or 4th quarter. >> angst -- >> yes, there was angst also. [ laughter ] >> are you serious? >> the one and old gregg popovich. warriors get a win tonight, they extend the series to seven games. see you at 11:00. >> good to have you back. >> the latest news and weather are always on our website, kpix.com. >> our next news on cw 44/cable 12. and at 11 on kpix 5. at progressive.com. get uote
