the university's leadership is not pleased nor a state senator scott wiener. he's also against this agreement. >> what i saw the announcement from the president of sonoma state. my jaw drops absolutely unacceptable. what sonoma state is proposing to do is to basically blocks list israeli academics. it's a complete academic. we caught it any kind of student exchange between sonoma universities in this role. >> lee releasing a new statement backtracking on his decision saying, quote, in my attempt to find and agreement with one group of students, i apmarginalized another member o our student population community. i realize the harm that this has caused and i take full ownership of it. he goes on to say that the initial letter was sent without the approval of the university system's chancellor or board leaders. the csu

chancellor released a statement saying the heart and mission of csu is to create an exclusive and welcoming place for everyone. a union representing about 48,000 academic workers in the uc system voted to give the union's executive board the ability to strike at any time. union members say they believe the university of california mishandled the pro-palestinian demonstrators at uc campuses, especially at ucla where counter-protesters, a tactic, pro-palestinian encampment for several hours without police intervention. the vote does not guarantee a strike. 8 of the uc campuses still have a month of instruction before summer break. colleges and universities across the nation. now having their bouts with student protests, deadlines have been given leading to clashes between law enforcement and protesters videos. now being posted online of the moments leading up to the clearing of the encampments. the latest coming out from southern california and also illinois police cleared a pro-palestinian encampment at the university of california irvine campus.

collission were unsuccessful. he went on to say, quote, i have said that we would protect free speech and the ability to dissent until it prevented us from carrying out the operations of our university or threatened the safety of the members of our community. i'm deeply saddened to say that the encampment has crossed that line. more coverage on this later on here on kron 4. for now, move on to our a great weather forecast with this live look outside. we should see san francisco behind there somewhere. cows in the weather all that for you. a little bit of drizzle into the base today. it's in a little bit at the coast, but right now are actually getting quite a bit of sunshine in san francisco. you can see in this shot. this is from our sutro tower camera. >> and kind of going in and out and obviously you're up a little bit elevation, see catch some of those clouds a little bit more sometimes when you get that shot. but right now, san francisco, just a 57 degrees, obviously where the clouds are definitely cooler. you can see where the warmth is where the sun is. san jose in livermore. but if you're in santa rosa right now, you are definitely dealing with those cloudy skies till and half moon bay can see just a 59

degrees. so this is the difference in temperatures from 24 hours ago to now. notice santa rosa really socked in. so we're running 6 degrees cooler than we were this time yesterday. fairfield conquered. so you see those spots that are really hanging on to some of that cooler weather. however, you also see some winds today that we didn't see kick up this early fairfield right now. 25 miles per hour. it is variable as far as directions go but mostly an onshore flow here as we get going into our day. so here's a look at stormtracker 4. you can see where that marine layer is still very much present in the north bay in particular, getting some clearing elsewhere along the coast, obviously still cloudy. but you can see the peninsula, the east bay starting to get some of that sunshine rowling. as we zoom out, you can see israeli hugging the entire coastline. so today will be very similar to yesterday. as far as our highs are concerned because those clouds hang out at the coast and in the north a little bit like they did yesterday. so we'll see those higher temperatures in the inner east bay today. we could see some upper 70's, maybe 80 degree mark 60's and 70's around the bay and 50's out at

the coast. back to you. kyla. thank you. with the ongoing drug crisis throughout the country. walgreens is now offering a cheaper version of nor can that will be sold over the counter kron. four's will tran is at one of the pharmacies. >> in walnut creek and he has the story. >> you can save money and you can save a life. walgreens is getting into the fight against drug overdose in america. now, according to the centers for disease control 107,000 people year died from drug overdose. many of them because of opioid. now walgreens. at the end of the month, they plan to roll out their own brand generic of the newark and brand has been available for about year now. it's about $45 and it's over the counter at that time. it was considered a breakthrough. now a nother breakthrough. now walgreens plans to do the same thing at $35. it will not require a

prescription meaning you don't have to go to the pharmacist. a lot of people were concerned about that because of the stigma. well, you have to do is get it online or you can go to a walgreens store. go to what they will say is section. share a lot of those sections obviously involve some kind of pain because you're going to walgreens. but they say it will be in main aisle and then from there you can get it for $35.10. dollars cheaper. and it does work generic or the narcan brand because they say it can help people breathe whenever >> still ahead, the department of transportation cracking down on airlines ahead of all the summer travel, including providing refunds for eligible customers. plus, governor gavin newsom at the vatican today discussing climate change with world leaders. and ahead, the warning from the fbi about pride events. the

newsom is at the vatican to take part in a climate summit with world leaders and the pope crowd for us. michael thomas has the story. >> governor gavin newsom arrived at the vatican early this morning. he spoke about climate change and what california is doing to fight it. >> he was also able to speak with world leaders and showcase his work as governor, which could play a role in his political future. should he decide to run for higher office? this three-day summit is all about bending the curve and bouncing forward to climate resilience. governor newsom spoke to a delegation of about 100 people.

>> including the mayor of paris and the governor of new york all calling for urgent climate acts calling this climate crisis. what it is the climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. newsom called the climate crisis a clear and present danger causing severe droughts, intense storms and historic wildfires have been seen across california when it came to calling out the fossil fuel industry. the governor didn't hold back is because of the burning of coal. the burning of gas and the burning of oil. and with respect and forgive me if this comes off a little too harsh, it's been said and repeat it. the polluted heart. of the climate crisis. are these fossil fuel companies? oil companies have long pushed back against newsom's allegations arguing his administration has unfairly targeted them during his time in politics. and as for pope francis, he was an influential figure among american catholics and a leader in the fight against global warming. well, he's spoke to the delegation privately in a message that focused on taking care of the

poor and the planet. tomorrow. governor newsom is expected to travel to the city of to launch a new climate partnership with the italian region of emilia romagna. as we get more details on the governor's visit overseas will continue to keep you updated. that's very latest here in the newsroom. i'm michael thomas. >> san francisco city officials are celebrating a major milestone in its homeless outreach program. last year. the city launched its heart program that stands for homeless engagement outreach response. this program is meant to engage with those experiencing homelessness. as an alternative to a law enforcement response. the teams are only dispatched to encourage and engaged the community when there's no indication of crime, violence threats, mental health or a medical need and the city says it helped about 300 people every week in its first year. hart has addressed more than 13,000 calls to service and completed. they say all of those requests, including blocked sidewalks and small

encampments. hart also placed 144 people into emergency shelter or a wait list and completed 168 applications for calfresh and medical hart workers are trained in the locks on de-escalation and even cultural and gender awareness in order to best serve the community. let's talk about forecast now. we're going to take this live look outside. can see what's going on across the bay right now. here's a camera in san francisco. hey, we've got some blue skies here. we've got kylen the weather center with details on what's going on. you're saying the clouds really? >> really love in the north bay today. yeah, they are. they're hanging on in the north bay. but francisco getting some really nice sunshine and a little bit of a breeze, as you can see there. lots of blue skies here as we take a live look at coit tower. i want to talk about san francisco. interestingly today, we're going to be very close to where we should be for highs, averages about 64. we're looking at for 63, but the record today and this kind of blew my mind. and i had to check to make sure it's right. 2008 san francisco got up to

92 degrees. that had to be some wild offshore wind. i'm betting, but today we're going to be much more mild than that. as you can see, looking out for those low 60's in san francisco, the warmth again, will be inland. it will be in or east bay. i think that we'll see the warmest temperatures spots like antioch, north bay. as i mentioned, they've been hanging on to these, you know, very cool temperatures right now. just 58 degrees in santa rosa. so that's where we're kind of having a trouble spot. high pressure still here, low pressure, kind of moved over there. we've got another low pressure here. the point is, nothing's really changed. and that's why we're kind of in this rinse. repeat forecast. so today, very much like yesterday where we start to get some clearing in the afternoon. although, you know, again, you do not see it there in the north bay yet, but you do certainly see in the east bay, south bay and on the peninsula. so if you're in san jose where the sun is going to be shining today, the dog walking forecast is looking really good right through the afternoon and into tho evening. we should see some of those potentially upper 70's in san jose. so should be a pretty nice day out there. but if you're in the north bay, you can see how as we roll through our fog cast here. this is really hangs on and

then starts rebuilding as we get into the evening and we're back at it again with a robust, a marine layer, a little bit of coastal drizzle and waking up again to a little pit of grayson area. and so that's kind of where we're at. but it does mean that we mostly get some sunshine in the afternoons unless you're one of the spots it gets socked in and carries this right through the week. as you can see, temperatures looking to tap out inland in the upper 70's should be a really nice weekend with some good afternoon, sunshine. and then next week, we kind of stay quiet. looks like a cool down a little bit as we get into the midweek timeframe. take a look here as san francisco fire crews out and about this morning in the san francisco bay. this is part of their week-long surf and >> bay rescue training. once firefighters complete this course they will be a designated rescue swimmer and must pass a by yearly recertification course. the fbi is warning about threats

targeting the lgbtq community during pride month. that's next month in june. and as kron four's dan kerman reports, the threats are coming from terrorists. >> san francisco's pride parade is a little over a month away. but pride events begin the first of june. not only here in the bay area, but in various cities across the u.s. now, this year's pride events come with a warning from the fbi and homeland security, the foreign terrorists or their u.s. base supporters, a target lgbtq venues and events. isis propaganda. >> has made reference to lgbtq community, bats. we want to make sure that all of community, but especially in this case, the lgbtq community is aware of that and exercising appropriate situational awareness when they attend events. the fbi says the volume and intensity of that propaganda has increased following the october 7th hamas attack in

israel. that coupled with next month's anniversary of the 2016 pulse nightclub massacre in orlando is reason to get the word out. people a very good grasp what's normal behavior for their surroundings encourage them. but they see something that's very suspicious, very out of the that they report that many in san francisco's castro district were caught off guard by the terror warning for pride month but said it won't deter them from taking part. i think that being a part of the community being in something like this, it makes you feel more. >> well, coming in more safe. i know that that the community does things to prevent things like this. so i don't think it will change. we want to do and be a part of should let your hair or any kind of you know, kind of weeks deter us because we're standing for ourselves. but for all those who can stand up for themselves is worrisome. but that's not going to deter us from showing our support and being a part of the community. that means the world to pride festivities

are slated to take place throughout the month of june in san francisco. >> culminating in a festival as well as the parade the last weekend of the month. >> in san francisco, dan kerman kron, 4 news. >> still ahead, the state's utility commission voting to add a flat rate fee to electricity bills and now state lawmakers are pushing state lawmakers are pushing back

going to join us now here live on kron. 4 news at noon. mayor thao, thank you so much for joining us. well, it's a pleasure. so let's start with this new chief. why did you do the swearing in ceremony in private? >> well, we're prepping for a more public ceremony. but of course, we wanted the cheap to be able to come in and get to work. and so stay tuned for the public's land all right. we'll be there for sure what you want to see out of the chief from him in the first 100 days as the head of the department. well, of course, we want to continue to i keep crying going down, right? what we're seeing is that oakland is turning the corner in the public safety strategies that we've implemented. i definitely paying off. so we're going to continue to be data driven and what we're seeing is that after years of rising crime rates, that overall crime is finally going down. and so we're going to push hard and continue to push hard to ensure that the state is moving in the right direction. of course, there's still much more to be done at the same he needs a to meet

his new family. and so he is working hard to meet with rank and file every day and not just that. but of course, learn how to use phones and the basic stuff. >> we're going to get to all that data about crime in the city in just a few minutes here. but i want to stick with the chief here. what do you think are? how do you think that the department and the community has responded to him so far taking over? >> you know, the response of bin nothing short of positive, you the community. we finally have a police chief. you know, so the community is excited. i department make files excited, you know, stability is going to be key and it played. mitchell is the guy for that job. and so he's coming to come in and really be able to mentor this younger generation of opd officers. >> has the main any changes within did that the department has he done any restructuring any firings? >> well, of course, there's no firing that has happened or any of but, you know, it's the

chief. he's just come on the for the, you know, for for what now it's been finishing the first week. he's been here a few weeks prior to that. but in regards to shifting of positions or what have you, that will be his prerogative. and of course, things change all the time. and so, you know, he'll have an opportunity to reach change it again in the future. but that is his prerogative. it is his department. all right. so let's get all the data you're talking about. we do know that. >> homicides in the town are down, but home robberies are up 110% year to date. so if i own a home in oakland, how would you explain to me what's going on with that significant increase? >> you know, i know that it's like it's it sounds scary when you say 110% increase. but mind you, you know, you come from already a very small amount of numbers for year to date. and so one or 2, which far too many. i want to be very clear about that. can really take it up to say 110%. but what i am proud a proud of is that for years, right, even before i came into office with

having we've seen crimes on the rise. and so with that being said, our homicides are down by 21%. that means we're saving lives. aggravated assault down by 8%. burglaries down by 51%. and and you know, and the you know, tick in certain states certain categories. we're hyper focus on those categories. of course, again, we're not done with this work. we're going to continue to be passing on that gas pedal to ensure that oaklanders are safe and not just safe but that they feel safe. >> but with the robberies going up, even with whatever number we want to put out there with it, what can be to stop it from continuing to go up. >> absolutely. so we're data data driven for a very data-driven and going off of the data we can then make sure that we're going after the small group of people who are committing these crimes in a lot of times. they are a group or gang related and thist input, this implementation has to do with their cease-fire strategy, which is a combination working with

different arms in government, including the district attorney's office probation shares chp. and then here, of oakland police and the department of violence prevention. and so all of these that this strategy of cease-fire, which is one strategy convening all of these different groups are going to be able to utilize the data of where we're seeing the robberies in the be able to tackle it by being very strategic and data-driven on figure out who is actually committing this crime going after that group. all right. some more data now the homeless population count came out. it's done every 2 years. there was an increase in oakland of 9% in the homeless population. but that is less than the increases of 30% in years past. so there is some success here that >> should be celebrated. what has changed? >> you know, housing, inc, homelessness. it's very basic rate. and so the slowing rate of homelessness and open demonstrates that our investments into shelter prevention and preservation and some permanent supportive housing make an impact. of

course, the resources are not limitless. so this is why it's important to pass measures such as the measure that was just passed. prop one that the governor put forward so that we can continue to have this permanent supportive housing for those who can't live on their own independently. and so this 9% increase is actually a significant success shows that we are, you know, closing off on some of these homelessness issues. of course, there's still so much to be done. i mean, we can walk out the streets still see encampments. and so that's our job is never done until everyone is brought inside in our streets. a and clear of encampments. does that mean more people are accepting the housing that's being offered to them? more people are accepting housing and not just that, but that means that, you know, when i advocate at the federal level for about yours, we're advocating for playspace voucher so that it's easier for people to redo bc the section 8 vouchers that they don't have to go and find and where that would take it, that

it's attached to housing units. that's one out reena, not just that we're looking at. how do we actually utilize modular housing as permanent housing working with faith-based institutions and other institutions to actually build out a lot more quicker here in the city. so all these different things are working together in conjunction is a comprehensive approach. and we can't just do one thing, right? but what we do need more investments in is the permanent supportive housing people who we know be able it will not be able to live on their own individually. and so we need that permanent supportive housing. and that's what prop one is helping to all right. we saw you celebrating the arrival of the valkyrie is the golden state team just announced their new wnba team. >> we know they're headquartered in oakland so they'll be out and about around. they're providing some boost to the local economy there. but what is oakland doing about getting its own wnba expansion team?

>> you know, have i know that balconies they are a bay area team. so we're excited that, yes, they will be playing at the chase center, but we're excited for them to be home base here in oakland. that means that all the practice will be here in oakland. you know, their front office will be here in oakland. and so with that being said, of course, open would love to have their own w nba. but right now we're celebrating valkyrie about greece and i'm really welcoming them because it's the w for me. it's exciting make sure that our young girls are seeing that this is a professional sport that they can actually in you know, going into and being a professional nba player themselves and not just that, but having that kind of mentorships here in the town. and finally, the air budget's going to come out next friday. you want to give us a little bit preview of what we can expect. >> you know, it's it's a hard time not just for our city, but for many big cities in our state. as we know, we're all dealing with deficits. last

year, we had historic 360 million budget deficit to close, which is the worst the city ever seen. and then this year we have 117 million dollar deficit that we have to balance out. and so my administration, we're really looking at how we prioritize essential services first in order to deliver clean and safe city. and i propose missick ul budget adjustment will be released for the public to review on friday. may 24th. all right. week from tomorrow will be looking at it. mayor sheng thao, thank you so much for joining us here. during cold front is a new appreciation time. absolutely. thank you for having me. any time. and that will take a look at our forecast with a live look here at sfo. we have kyle in the weather center with what's happening outside today. hey there. so obviously yesterday we looked sfo. we saw a lot more marine layer. so i do feel like we're getting a little more sun in spots today. a little quicker. >> live look from the east bay showing you that mix of sun and clouds. temperatures reflecting that. we've got some spots getting some beautiful sunshine in some spots. still hanging on to the
