things aren't. this is the moment that a transformative moment for women's sports. this is the moment it's really exciting to see. i got to say, we'll see you tomorrow the race and it is already getting personal. >> editor john fisher named public enemy number one by oakland a's fans by a former team executive. we're live with the very latest as oakland says goodbye to its last pro sports team and the a's. they're packing their bags for sacramento. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is the four and a look at the soon to be former home of the oakland a's. >> the team a fixture of the town's history slated to become a piece of its past. the a's announcing today that the team is bound for sacramento. welcome, everyone to the four.

i'm heather holmes and good afternoon, i'm frank mallicoat. >> oakland fans hoping to convince the team to stay striking out. ktvu is joey horta joins us now with details on the big move. joey >> well, frank and heather, this is it. we are now in the final season of the a's, calling the coliseum home here and they say they just could not reach a deal with the city to extend their lease agreement before they move to vegas. the owners of both the oakland a's and the sacramento kings coming together thursday morning in west sacramento for a major announcement. the a's are moving to sac. >> momentous day for our 123 year old franchise. >> the major league team is going to a minor league stadium. the a's are moving to sutter health park in west sacramento, the current home of the river cats, with its majority owner, the sacramento kings. >> you're going to see aaron judge hitting home runs out

there. this is what an incredible day. this is epic. it's historic. >> the deal secures a home base for the athletics for three seasons from 2025 to 2027. there's also an option for a fourth season in 2028. >> we're excited to be here for the next three years playing in this beautiful ballpark. >> the announcement comes after the city of oakland's previous offer of a five year, $97 million lease failed. the city then offered a final three year, $60 million lease on tuesday, which the a's also turned down. oakland also wanted the mlb to grant exclusive rights to the city for one year to solicit owners and investors for an mlb expansion team. >> and let's play ball in the future here. who sutter health park, with its 14,000 seats, is significantly smaller than the 63,000 seats at the coliseum, but the average a's game attendance is only about 10,000.

>> the pitch in the air towards right field, only 6400 fans showed up to the coliseum wednesday night, when the a's took a beating from the red sox. >> one nothing. the next home game is april 16th, but for now it's sacramento that's catching the attention, and we're looking forward to this being our home until we move on to our stadium in las vegas. the team is set to slide into home at the site of the soon to be demolished tropicana in 2028. now, you'll recall the mlb team owners all voted in favor of allowing the a's to move to vegas. we reached out to the mlb today for reaction to today's announcement. we haven't heard back just yet. frank and heather . >> joey, how about oakland leadership? how are they reacting to the a's heading off to sacramento? >> all right, well, we did hear from the mayor today. she sent us this statement. frank. it says in part, oakland offered a

deal that was fair to the a's and was fiscally responsible for our city. we wish the a's the best. and we'll continue our conversations with them on facilitating the sale of their share of the coliseum site. the city of oakland will now focus on advancing redevelopment efforts at the coliseum site. so that's the latest from here. we'll have more on the team's response coming up here tonight at five. yeah obviously a lot of disappointment being felt across the city of oakland today. >> joey thank you. >> so if you are taking inventory, city of oakland has lost three professional sports teams in six years. the raiders leaving it 2019 for las vegas. the warriors jumped across the bay to san francisco's chase center in 2020. and now the a's off to sacramento and eventually the desert in 2028. with some perspective, we welcome in andy dolich, a former oakland executive vice president, author of the book bye bye, oakland. andy, let's just start out with your reaction. something tells me you're not surprised.

>> i'm not surprised, but i'm saddened. just as the 80 million people that have come through the turnstiles to see the green and gold play since they moved to oakland in 1968, being sold out to somebody that only cares about the green of money and the gold of the increased value of this franchise. john fisher when and if they move to las vegas, and heather and frank, i'll make a deal with you probably can't do this on live tv. but when i win powerball, i will give you 50% of the proceeds. if the a's play one inning of major league baseball at their spherical armadillo in 2028, is that a deal? >> whoa. >> okay, tell me why you why you have so many questions about that future there in las vegas? >> well, first of all, they haven't funded the stadium yet. they have $385 million worth of taxpayer money, which is being

fought by the, nevada state teachers union, john fisher, multi billionaire, hasn't put the rest of the money in the bank. so that's $1.2 billion, they haven't blown up the tropicana or deconstructed it yet. they've closed it, what are they going to find underneath the tropicana? that's, you know, that's fodder for a great gangland movie, but seriously, there are so many open issues in terms of going to las vegas. and the a's keep saying 2028, 2028, they need to start construction of that stadium pretty quickly to make that happen. i just don't see it, they're disorganized as we see with their lack of strategy. they weren't able to negotiate anything in oakland, and this was a triple header of, lack of leadership, teamwork and trust between mlb, john fisher leading the a's and oakland public officials. >> okay, so andy, really

quickly, if i can just for a moment get back to the big news of today, why why sacramento? >> i mean, why not try to stay here in oakland until that bar park, whenever it is ready there in vegas, first of all, john's business strategy has already negatively affected, fans coming to oakland. >> and you just talk about it every day. he's looking for another field to plow, how's it going to work with 170 plus games between the river cats and the a's playing at home there? he wants to claw back some of that tv revenue from nbc universal, he's going to lose a lot of it because he's not in oakland, but he can gain some of it back. being in northern california. how much? we don't know yet, and maybe john doesn't , really want to fly to games in other cities, he's going to drive to sacramento, so, this makes some degree of sense because it's in the market and it's a much smaller stadium than

the coliseum. so he'll only have several thousand empty seats instead of tens of thousands of empty seats. >> but sacramento could put their arms around the oakland a's and say, hey, we're auditioning for a big league club, do you think that's going to happen? and by the way, talk about the inconveniences as well for this team, the players and staff to be in an interim place for a few years, exactly how would you like to commute? >> and i have i have a friend in the sacramento river, cats. when the a's and people forget that they were the a's triple-a franchise for 14 years before the a's made, in my view, a strategic mistake and said, nah, we'll leave it to the giants. we'll go someplace else, it is a problem, how they're going to do all this in such a short period of time? what does it say to major league baseball, to play in a minor league stadium, and, the river cats have a good

organization, but we saw the joy that vivek ranadivé had with john fisher. right, when is the last time john fisher grabbed a microphone and had that kind of enthusiasm in front of fans of the oakland a's? >> not even the day he bought the team by the way? >> no. so there's so much, duplicity here between all of these entities. and as vivek ranadivé gone? you know, if we show really well, maybe baseball will look at us as an expansion market because sacramento, though, has done great work with the kings. there are large enough city. there's disposable income. maybe this could work. and so keep keep the rumor mill flying, but if you think of the hearts, minds and souls of these tens of millions of a's fans that have been sold out by john fisher and major league baseball, it is absolutely

despicable. >> well, it hurts as a kid that went there. you know, in the late 60s, early 70s, as a young kid, going to miss him in a big way. >> well, since we're ending, can i show you something that i have that not a lot of people have? i have my own world series trophy from 1989. yeah, now we had an earthquake. but to see this and to see three consecutive world series go away and have the city of oakland without anything other than the mayor's empty words, that is hard to deal with. yeah, obviously it's really personal for you and for a lot of people. >> really appreciate your time. >> yeah, we could go longer, andy. thanks a lot. we appreciate it. >> okay. thank you. >> so cool though to see the trophy. right. yeah. okay talking about cool, i don't know, i guess it kind of depends on your weather perspective and what you like, but some hail.

this was in oakland earlier today, perhaps to match the mood following the a's announcement as i was just talking about kind of that gloomy feeling around much of the bay area today with the departure of the team coming up, you know, heading to sacramento. roberta, just just not a not a great day out there today, weather wise either. >> well, for me, there's a lot of excitement weather wise. okay. and for our photographer, tony, who shot that video in oakland earlier, he was really excited when he ran in. i mean, that's only silver lining to this day because we all have been in a little bit of a funk because of the oakland a's moving to the sacramento area to play their games next season. but let's try to cheer you up a bit here. we want the rain. we love the rain and we've got it. look at this. just about a half an inch of rain. and you know, the focus this time has been on the eastern portion of our bay area, 66th avenue in oakland, with a half an inch of rain. and we've got more coming. take a look at our storm tracker. oh

watch this right there. right now, a lightning bolt. lightning just struck just outside of rio vista, and we have some thunderstorm activity streaming into the concord area. jumping on over to the macomb mountain range in the north bay. we do have snow falling. if you have a mountain range near you, anything down to about 2000ft. you know what i'm talking about. we've had some snow and then in the east bay also, we've had some rain and we've had some unusual clouds as well. take a look at that cell that's on its way to tracy as it pass through the mountain house area. we had this photograph sent in to us. this looks like a flying saucer. it's referred to as a lenticular cloud, and it usually forms near mountain ranges and parallel to the mountain range, and also parallel to wind drafts. so that was very interesting. we also have some light snow falling around the eastern foothills leading up to the mount diablo or the mount hamilton range. mount diablo shirley has seen some snow as well, and new rain is now pushing onshore around

the peninsula. and this is going to be the case now. hit and miss. scattered rain showers, all associated with the core. the center of the area. low pressure pushing into the bay area. and yes, it's cool outside 40s and 50s. and when you factor in a wind gusts up to 29mph at sfo. also wind gusts up to 18 at oakland international airport, it feels raw. outside. there's the snow capping the mount diablo area at 3800ft. more snow, more rain, thunderstorms. we've got it all for you. and that's still coming up in a matter of minutes. okay roberta. >> thank you. the battle for san francisco mayor just got a lot more interesting. >> it sure did. a prominent figure in the city's progressive politics announced he is running a political analyst. is here to discuss how aaron peskin's entry will shake up the race. when

jumps into an already crowded race. >> supervisor and current board president aaron peskin tells ktvu he will launch his campaign this weekend. now he joins a growing list of people hoping to unseat mayor london breed, including former san francisco supervisor and interim mayor mark farrell, nonprofit founder daniel lurie and current supervisor asha safai. so joining us now to talk about the growing field of candidates is corey cook, vice-provost, at saint mary's college. corey, always a pleasure to see you. so aaron peskin set to make it official saturday a big announcement there in chinatown. how does his candidacy really affect this race? >> well, it completely changes the math. so you imagine now with five major candidates in the race, the question is, can any of these candidates get to 30% of first place votes? if so, that might be you know, the way of getting to the to winning the office. so the threshold comes down. i think the dynamic of the race changes. now you have a more progressive candidate in

the race. you have four candidates who are office holders, one who is now can build themselves as an outsider. i think the dynamics have changed pretty dramatically, and i think it now affects what will happen over the next seven months in terms of strategy, in terms of voter outreach, in terms of engagement. we have not seen a mayoral candidate win the win the mayoralty in san francisco without winning chinatown in recent years. so this certainly changes the dynamic that you have a representative for chinatown running in this race. >> good point. well, former de boudin was a progressive. yeah he did not last long. he he was out. he got recalled. how do you think the san francisco voting public will wrap their arms around this? >> well, so it's interesting as voters don't vote view the election the same way that that i might. they don't actually array candidates from left to right or even view the spectrum the same way that we might. so certainly for someone like me, i say, well, now there's a progressive lane for a candidate. but certainly these candidates, it's a small town. people are known individually.

they're known by particular issues. so while certainly there is a ideological. bent to the field, and this changes because you can imagine, you know, progressive like minded nonprofit leaders, activists, etc. getting behind supervisor peskin, on the other hand, again, it cuts across neighborhood differences. it cuts across a range of policy issues. and so actually, voters behave very differently. and so they will know the candidates, they will go through what candidates run through in san francisco is kind of amazing. a gantlet of democratic party endorsement efforts of, of the series of election night events. they will they will do 40 events over, over a couple of months and so individual voters, it's not unlike what we hear from new hampshire voters in a presidential election. they say,

i don't know yet. i haven't met them and knocked at my door yet. exactly. >> and so they did. the board p. this is what mayor breed's campaign said about aaron peskin saying they call him terminator and says occupying the mayor's office would mean a hostile la vista baby for our local economy. our housing and our city's future. i mean, already, corey, this is getting personal here. >> it's getting personal, and it certainly will, right? i mean, this is this is going to be a pretty divisive race. i don't think there's any way around that. i do think, you know, there's some indication that there's campaign folks are excited that that aaron peskin is in the race. it gets her a little bit of a foil. it might give her some room then to operate obviously to this extent, the race right now is

being defined as who can run to the right the fastest. so who can, you know, make the biggest claim for calling out the national guard, for example, to deal with the fentanyl fentanyl crisis. so this changes that dynamic. it also repositions the mayor as in the middle, which is not a bad place for her to be. >> how about most candidates came out pretty quickly in the mayoral race. peskin's kind of coming out late. do you think that was part of his strategy to kind of shake it up and steal a headline? >> yeah. i don't know if that was strategic or by by good fortune, but it certainly has an interesting effect on the race because the candidates have been staking out positions over the last several months. there's still time in terms of the registration date so other candidates can still get in the race. he didn't wait until the very last second. that said, the race had largely taken form, and so it's fortuitous to get in the race a little bit later, and you can now hold the candidates to where they've positioned themselves, because the entire positioning to this point has been who can move to the right

the quickest and who can be the toughest on crime, the toughest on on drugs there there's some space that was many of them have already outlined various policy announcements. >> and so peskin can can obviously kind of oke

fifth in the world in terms of gross domestic product or gdp. it is a workhorse, generating 3.8 trillion plus economic dollars back in 2023. however,

according to a report from the center for jobs and the economy, california is now in jeopardy of losing that number five gdp status to india, which is only 3.5% smaller and could overtake california by the end of the year. so what's happening in our state that's causing us to slow down, or are other countries simply catching up with some insight? we welcome in brooke armor, who is the president of california center for jobs. brooke, good to have you with us. >> thank you. frank, it's nice to be here. >> well, give us a little background into the study and what california's economy may be slipping a bit compared to other countries and other states as well. >> sure. it was just two short years ago that, policymakers and politicians in california were celebrating the possibility that we were going to move up to the fourth largest economy. and we are seeing significant economic slowdown in the state. we had virtually no economic growth in 2022 and 2023. and as we've seen

, there's been a significant drop in those high wage tech jobs in california. and that's significantly affected our gdp and our standing not only among states, but as a global economic leader as well. we had economic growth. we are we our gdp grew 3.1, but that was below the national average of 3.4% and was only 29th highest among states. so we're very concerned of what this means, not just for the economic outcomes and the economic future of our state, but what it means for the state budget and what it means is a global leader for economic development. >> well, we could do better. how much of the slowdown has to do with the pandemic that has come and gone? and if that's the case, why aren't other states having maybe some of the same issues? >> california is, you know, it's very little to do with the pandemic. in fact, a lot of it has to do with our unemployment rate. we now have the highest unemployment rate in the country, and our highest unemployment rate in california

since december of 2021, there's been a lot of, of, of jobs lost, and we're just not growing jobs at the level we need to. a lot of other states are seeing labor shortages. we have a labor surplus here in california where we're just not creating jobs at every economic level to be the economic powerhouse we could be. and we certainly could be the fourth largest economy. we have the talent, we have the resources, and we have the job space here. we're just not making those investments that we need to as a state in order to provide that type of economic growth that would keep us dominating at the global level. >> we've got a graphic part of your study, a map of the gdp growth in q3 and q4 last year and the west southwest from idaho, nevada, utah, arizona, texas, and way down deep there in the dark blue state of florida and others down that way. the tell us, what does that tell us, not only about those

states, but about california? >> yeah, it tells us california has a competitiveness problem and we're not growing jobs here. we have some of the most iconic legacy industries and businesses in california. but when they go to increase jobs and they go to grow that base, they're not doing it in california. they're doing it in states that have a better tax policies, have more consistent policies, have predictable regulatory structures, have a much better cost of living for employees, and are generally just more business friendly. and as we're looking at california, we're raising the flag here, and we're raising the concern that if we continue on this path, we are jeopardizing not only our our national standing as a powerhouse and economic powerhouse, but our global standing as well. >> well, we got to leave it there, brooke. lots to talk about. but that is brooke armer. she's president of california's center for jobs. we appreciate your insight and your time

today. >> thank you. thank you so much. >> all right. excitement. it is building about the upcoming total solar eclipse. stay with us. an astronomer is going to join us. live with everything you need to know, including how sible it will be gh

( ♪ ) mugs. ♪ bmo ♪ total solar eclipse will be visible across north america on monday, april the 8th. starting in mexico, slowly moving across

the continent through texas and up towards the northeast and canada. its route is called the path of totality. >> okay, so want to take a look now at just how much the anticipation is building? because this is a map of all of the airbnb bookings for monday in areas in the path of the eclipse. so that orange stripe that you see right there, well, it represents places with 100% occupancy. and as you can see, they line up there with the path of totality running from texas to maine. so it really shows the incredible interest in this upcoming event. and here to talk more about what people can expect is astronomer andrew fraknoi, who teaches at the university of san francisco. thank you so much for being here. explain a little bit more about what will be happening up there in the sky. >> well, so this is a remarkable cosmic coincidence. it just so happens that, as seen from earth, the moon and the sun are the same size in the sky. so it

can happen that the moon gets in front of the sun. and if you're in the right place on earth, the moon can completely cover the sun, making day turn into night and completely confusing animals. and you are able to see then the magnificent but faint outer atmosphere of the sun, which flickers like an eerie aura around the dark disk of the moon. >> well, i can feel your enthusiasm in a big way. let's talk about that path of totality from texas all the way up to maine. how wide is the path? and could a single cloud ruin your watch party? >> so the path is about 115 miles wide on average. and yes, the big issue is going to be whether, if it's cloudy, completely cloudy, then you won't be able to see it. now the partial phases of the eclipse where the moon is moving across the sun, they take an hour or so. the actual totality will be

about four minutes at best. so, during that slow, coming on of the moon and the moving off of the moon, if it's cloudy and then the clouds clear, you can still perhaps get to see a view. but if it's completely fogged over or cloudy, then you're out of luck. >> okay, so what about us folks here in the bay area? what exactly will we see? >> so here in the san francisco bay area on monday, we're going to have a partial eclipse. about 40% of the sun or so will be covered, and it starts here in the bay area about 1014. the biggest bite will be taken out of the sun at 11:13 a.m, and it'll be all over by 1215. so i'm recommending people maybe go out from about 11 to 1130. that's when the maximum eclipse happens. and the important thing

is, of course, to view it safe. yeah >> of course, next full solar eclipse is august of 2044, at least here in north america, over 20 years away. how are these dialed in to the exact day? >> well, so there's a rhythm to the sky. it's one of the most beautiful things about our understanding of astronomy that there is a kind of rhythm to the way the moon and the sun and the earth move around in terms of what we see in the sky, and so we can predict the eclipse season pretty regularly, and because these are precisely understood now, we can tell you what eclipse is coming a thousand years away. >> that's pretty incredible. okay, so as you mentioned, the bay area not the best viewing spot, but there are going to be some viewing parties want to put up that information there on the screen for folks at home. so there are there are a lot of them berkeley, danville, san francisco. you can just scan that qr code to find out more details about where you can gather to, to watch what's going to happen on the eighth. but but

what about those who are actually in the path of totality? any any safety tips for those folks? well let's i'd like to give safety tips for our viewers, because whenever any part of the sun is showing, it's really important not to look at the sun directly for any length of time. >> so there are safe eclipse glasses that you can get, we had a grant to distribute 6 million of these glasses through 13,000 public libraries nationwide, and many libraries are out. but i hear that in the bay area, some of the libraries, like in san francisco, still have glasses left. so gently and kindly check with your library often. but if you can't, projecting an image is a safe way to see it. and my favorite way to see it is to hold a household calendar over your shoulder. you might say a calendar. what is the man talking about? but if you get one of those round calendars that you wash salads in, it's

full of little holes and each hole can act like a pinhole projector. so stand with your back to the sun and pull the calendar over your shoulder. make a shadow of the sun on the sidewalk and there in that shadow, you'll see many images of the eclipsed sun, and you'll see the moon moving across the face of the sun. and if you're standing in the sidewalk with a calendar on your shoulder for a long period of time, one of your neighbors will surely come over and ask if you're all right, and then you could show them how great the eclipse is. i think it actually sounds like a party going. >> i want to take a class from you, professor, but it does. >> but your suggestion there sounds like a great idea for schools and for classrooms as a way to participate. but but those safety tips we still need to do that here in the bay area, even with the partial eclipse. >> yes. especially with the partial eclipse, the only thing that's ever safe to look at is the total eclipse. any time any part of the sun shows, don't

look at it for any length of time with your eyes. >> final question where will you be on that day? >> well, that's classified information. >> of course it is. >> but but no, i'll be in san francisco hoping for a clear skies. and we are having weather reports that say monday is going to be okay. so i want to wish you and your viewers a really good clear sky on april 8th. yep >> you are a delight, sir. thank you very much for joining us. and, happy total eclipse of the sun day. >> yep. you make astronomy fun. yeah, a lot of fun. thank you so much andrew. really appreciate your time today. okay. well also speaking of something fun, get ready for drift fest. coming up next here on the four, i'm going to sit down with the minds behind this annual event designed to connect the community with resources and each other. you're going to want to hear more about this coming up after the break, we cranked up our doppler radar. >> it's live. we've got rain in and around the bay area and did i mentioned snow? i'll show you

health, wellness and hip hop culture. the summit is coming up next weekend in san francisco and aims to highlight the value of hip hop in promoting the physical, social and mental

well-being of people in the community with free resources and some amazing performances. and here to talk more about what all is being planned is coffee j, a community advocate and so much more. and francesca gonzalez, you are the executive director of a nonprofit called the forward freedom. so thank you both for being here. i want to start with you. describe hip hop and its role in the community. you know, first off, a lot of people, they mix up rap with hip hop, rap is an oral form of hip hop culture. >> it's a culture of people, shared practices that we're all primed for. so we organize ourselves around our cultural practices. hip hop is always been the strongest organizing tool we have. >> so francesca, to playing off of that a little bit, this event is not only about hip hop, but that that's sort of the driving force of it, but it's about building healthy relationships. talk about what's going to be offered to help people really become the best version of themselves. >> absolutely. well, first of all, partnering with cafe as the, you know, ed of freedom forward and our hype center,

which is an incredible multi-service drop in center for young folks that is all about building in advocacy agency and choice and independence for young people as they're finding their pathway to thrive. and our whole mission is to prevent commercial sexual exploitation. so when we think about it at its core, that's about non-transactional relationships, that's about building community at its finest when it's in its most authentic and most organic way. and so we do that through this power and tool of hip hop by reaching those that have been deemed unreachable. >> and that really is amazing to think that you can make a difference in someone's life through hip hop. >> yeah. i mean, i've been doing this for 15 years. we're trying to get the people with the resources to kind of catch up with us. you know, with my pedagogy touched 32,000 kids, showing them how to express themselves, find out who they are and just self-affirmation. that is what it is. and if we can use that organizing force to create a safe space for people from our community who may or may not trust a hospital or a therapist, or may not have

connections to do list services or, you know, emoji health doctor kim rhodes, you know what i'm saying? or, you know, i think that's that's the connective tissue that's always they know they have a place to go, which is so important. >> so i want to talk about the event coming up in just a few weekends, because the lineup is pretty impressive. tell people about some of the artists that are going to be performing. >> oh my goodness i got yo yo coming up. legend mc we got south rock goddess emcee from the east. we got stunnaman barry's own dj lex, dj lady ryan, deuce, eclipse, jay deuce. we could go on agana, one of the dopest muralists in the bay area doing live graffiti. and we'll have a lot of people from the community as well. >> so and what makes this great, francesca, is that this is a free event and that is a crucial component, really, of the mission of this summit as well. >> absolutely. it's so critical for us to be able to reach community where they are. so the whole purpose of drip fest dropping resources in place, this is a community approach. this is us coming to the people,

with the people, for the people, by the people. yeah, okay. >> so free the people that are going to show up. speaking of the people when they show up, what was it that you want them to walk away with? >> well, the number one thing is i think a lot of people might understand, you know, arts therapy, things like that, or that we have a right to rap. and it's not all the violence we see on tv, but i need people who have gone to every genre of music because they want to be cultured, but never gone to a hip hop event. right? because from the media representations, they don't think we have much to offer. that just leaves us disenfranchized disconnected. i want people to fall in love with the power of hip hop. when they see young babies rocking and seeing themselves on stage, listening to soft rock and yo yo. you know, that's what we need. and you know, on that note, we shouldn't have to work this hard to raise all the money to make this happen. so we're looking for long tum research partners, public outreach partners. we're looking for sponsors because this is going to be quickly a quarterly event. so we can really start really reconnecting this. yeah we're not here to stop. we're here to keep it moving. >> oh that's great francesca,

what about you? how will you know when this event is successful? >> well, when we take a look at the crowd and we see an amazing arrangement of not only, you know, intergenerational community members, but really our target audience of 14 to 24 year olds. we have an amazing lineup of not only artists, but resources available specifically , we're bringing our own mobile boutique, which is going to be filled with free hygiene, beauty, wellness, health products, and it's all available for our young folks. and we really see this as a way of outreach and really getting young people to say, to know that hype center is here for them as a long terme outlet and safe space, that's great. >> it's a really important message. glad that we can help spread the word about it again, if you're interested in drift fest, it's coming up next weekend right there in san francisco. thank you both. francesca capri, really appreciate your time today. thank you. all right, frank, heading over to you. all right, heather, thank you. >> back now to our bay area. weather and snow visible on the top crane mountain there, thanks to darcy kent livermore for sending us this beautiful video. can you believe it? right here

in the bay area. roberta is now in with your full forecast. i imagine mount diablo got a little a little coating as well, right? >> absolutely. crane mountain elevation is roughly around 1500ft. mount diablo, 3800ft. you betcha. we have snow there anywhere down at 2000ft. we've seen some flakes on the fly today. this is the scene looking out towards san francisco and you can see that we do have some light rain occurring right around the sunset district. we are confirming that with our storm tracker. this is live data. the light green is the lighter precipitation. and then when you see the colors of yellow and orange, that's the heaviest precipitation. and again we're confirming this. now we fired up our radar suites and we see sunset district backing through daly city. we've had some hit miss scattered showers around the bay bridge, as well as the golden gate bridge and san mateo bridge as well. we've been picking up some lightning strikes right there in between discovery bay and tracy, and that's going to be the scenario

winds gusting up to 29 at sfo, 21 in mountain view. we have an 18 mile per hour gusts in oakland. you better believe it feels raw outside again. our snow level has been lowering down to about 2000ft, and we'll keep that in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning. the core the center is now beginning to wrap around the bay area. as we zoom on in, you got to remember there's a lot of unstable air instability associated with that core, the center of this area of low pressure. so as long as that's around, we're going to continue to see the spiral action and tossing in these showers from time to time. so here's tomorrow morning, sun up a hit and miss scattered shower again. moving through, slicing through 1:00 in the afternoon. we're getting set for a home game. it's our giants playing host to the san diego padres. first pitch is at one 3553 degrees. it will be blustery dress in layers, so another about 14/100 of an inch of rain expected in san francisco, where so far we picked up 3/10 of an inch of rain. and we're talking about a

start looking for things that are just lacking in general knowledge about the world. >> but there's also a growing acknowledgment that it is now virtually impossible to spot most deepfakes, prompting companies like other web to develop new models of detection with ai battling ai to help determine what is real online. >> we are going into the territory of actually verifying certain things, and you eliminate that layer of misinformation or low quality information. >> ultimately, most experts agree that a new verification system is needed and everyday web users can't be expected to become deepfake experts. >> we have to be very skeptical, at least while we are in this transition period where it's really difficult to know what is true. we just have to assume it's false. >> the market for deepfake detection technology was worth more than $5 billion last year. they expect that to triple in the next two years in miami. evan brown, fox news ktvu, fox
