7:01 am
morning, james and darya. good morning, everybody. looking pretty sweet for your monday and we're just delaying the temperature climb. we're talking about. >> due to some onshore winds. but hey, that's ok, we'll have lots of sunshine to come with the right. so that's good news on that front are a lot of our pictures are looking pretty good. even at the coast sometime this is a slower in the clear we saw this even yesterday. but sun is already coming out at this hour now, as you can see, and there's that little pesky low up to the north little place holder until we get that high building about that location, providing an offshore wind. but more importantly heating for us towards the latter portion of the week there. you're kind of variable winds right now. they're all muscle offshore in some spots, but they will remain on shore, giving us some cooling. we'll get some even inland. but it's going to be most apparent along the coast in the 50's with all the sun still at work. 50's on the board for the most part, some 40's here and there like a map of the for example, 47 palo alto in 45 for redwood city. we're looking at about 63 come 11 o'clock it to 72 80's are getting into this forecast by
7:02 am

7:03 am
cease-fire do. the protests now into its second week. kron four's will tran. >> they're live on campus for us this morning. will. >> and james, with every passing day, the protest here gets a little bit bigger. you can see this is just a small corner of it. coming up at 8 o'clock, i will show you how much it is expanded over the past several days. in fact, we're at sprawl plaza. and if you've been here before, it is basically the epicenter of the campus and it spreads around this particular building. you can see some of them getting up at this very moment. more than have reaction from them coming up at 8 o'clock as far as what's happening uc berkeley, not alone in this a few miles away, doing the same thing at stanford. and let me show you video. it's also happening at approximately 80 universities, maybe even more than that across the country. many of them have never met each other, of course, but they stand in solidarity
7:04 am
claiming that the universities are not acting in good faith on their behalf. as far as uc berkeley students and their protesters here, they want many things including uc berkeley to acknowledge that what's going on in the middle east right now is genocide between israel and palestine. they also have other demands, including that universities across the country acknowledge that what's going on with their money is not in their best interest and they want to cut ties, the universities to cut ties with businesses. they do business with israel as well as manufacture weapons. this is not going to end anytime soon. we do know that, you know, couple of times has been explosive but not a lot of damage. hundreds of people have been arrested across the country right now. it looks like it will continue indefinitely until the students get what they are looking for and get this. the key word is students a lot of times they're protesters of all ages. but in this
7:05 am
particular case, the majority of them are students. they are not staying in campus housing. instead, they're staying in the tense waking up and going to class knowing that this is an inconvenience for them. but they stand on this. the university is also and they have a tough situation as well because? >> yes, they want peace. they want tranquility on the campus that they do know to be a university. also allows him to be free thinkers as well as enjoy free speech. this is happening right over my left shoulder right here, james and area. you can see the police department here in case anything should happen. they can pounce on it. and so far there's no need. >> back to you. you have very, very peaceful out well over there. but as will said, there have been many protests across the country, a different college campuses. so let's take a look at some video from those with students also demanding that their universities cut ties with israel. and you can see here
