we're live outside the courthouse with what's in store for today's hearing. plus this is a day that everybody should stop what they're doing and protest for palestine. police fired pepper balls at protesters gathered outside the tesla facility in fremont. how demonstrators demands are related to yesterday's day of protest that shut down the golden gate bridge and interstate 80 in oakland for hours, then bay area health care workers hitting the picket line this morning by workers in the north bay say they're on a one day strike from ktvu. >> fox two news this is mornings on two. >> we're so glad you're here. i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning, i'm dave clark. >> it's tuesday morning, april 16th. you didn't see any fog on the way in, did you? >> you barely see on my way in for all the fog. wow i had a ton. steve paulson. yeah i had nothing coming in. >> dave. me either. clear >> crystal clear. house >> well, it'll clear there's some out there, ali touched on

this as well. you can see some on the marin side. marin headlands, kind of. it's low, though. the bases are low. so that tells you the highs building in. but we do have a little bit. nothing compared to yesterday. 40s on most of the temp. santa rosa is down to 42. but overall, except for that brief fog in the morning, we're looking for mostly sunny skies. and you are my sunshine today and temps will bump up, although they're pretty nice here with 60s near the coast and then low to mid 70s inland. maybe a smidge warmer tomorrow. but today we start the process. all right alice here now picking up somewhere. bay bridge, toll plaza somewhere else. what? yeah. >> you know, i'm going to show you some of that sunshine that you just mentioned at the bay bridge toll plaza. we'll go right to our triple a traffic camera outside, showing you a 15 to 20 minute delay on the span here at the bay bridge. and i know that sal likes to point out whenever you see this. oh, i can't even show you the, the arrow because the sun is so bright. i'll do it from this direction. whenever we see a backup on this overpass, that means it's about 20 minutes,

highway 24 on lafayette. sunshine here as well. and as an okay drive heading to the caldecott tunnel highway four in bay point is a bit crowded, but no specific problems here to tell you about time now is 701. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. ali. happening today. the case of convicted murderer scott peterson returns to a san mateo county courtroom. he will again be conferencing in from a jail southeast of sacramento. james torres live at the san mateo county courthouse with what's expected in today's hearing. james >> garcia, scott peterson's newest attorneys are coming from the la innocence project. they picked up this case earlier this year, and they're looking to poke holes in the convictions against peterson, who was, of course, convicted more than 20 years ago of killing his wife laci and their unborn child. now, today, prosecutors and defense attorneys will walk into the courthouse here in redwood city, and they'll talk about a motion to seal documents. that's after the la innocence project's director filed to obtain loads of evidence that, she argues

peterson was never given access to. that includes police reports as well as audio and video recordings. in court filings, his attorneys say there are aspects of the investigation that might not have been properly vetted. specifically, an apparent burglary near the peterson's home during the same month. investigators say laci was murdered. lawyers for peterson say laci may have seen that burglary and that could have contributed to her missing case, or eventually even her death at another hearing, which we may expect to see in the next month, lawyers will then ask to test the dna found inside a burned van near that burglary. legal experts tell ktvu peterson has tried something like this before. he's gone for appeals and has asked for new trials in the past. but his defense this time around is trying a different approach. >> this is digging into the evidence. what did the police do? did they look at all the evidence? did they turn away from something that perchance was exculpatory?

>> peterson was convicted. he's now serving a life sentence. the attorneys who prosecuted him from the stanislaus county district attorney's office will be in the courtroom today, as well as the attorneys from the la innocence project. today is one of three motion hearings planned over the next three months. peterson, though, expected to appear in court via zoom from the mule creek state prison. that's about 100 miles away from redwood city, just outside of sacramento. that hearing, expected to start at 9:00 this morning. reporting live this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news okay james thank you. >> time 704 dozens of arrests were made after yesterday's very disruptive demonstrations all around the bay area and a protest outside of an auto plant in fremont last night ended a long day of pro palestinian demonstrations. ktvu is andre seniors in the studio now to tell us why the demonstrators were targeting tesla. andre.

>> well, dave, protesters are demanding an immediate cease fire in gaza targeting the tesla car plant, hoping to disrupt operations and a demonstration that began peacefully soon got out of hand. that was the scene early yesterday evening. dozens of protesters clashing with police in riot gear just outside that facility. officers say they were finally forced to use pepper balls to break up the crowd. organizers of the march and rally say they had a reason they targeted tesla. they say the protest was in response to ceo elon musk decision to invite israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to the fremont plant last year. >> main reason was inviting netanyahu out here to tesla and what's going on with the war, and everybody should stop. >> the protesters managed to cause a temporary backup of the supply trucks, as you see here, that were trying to enter the tesla plant on kato road. the demonstrators say they felt they needed to express their outrage and sadness over the war between israel and hamas that began more than six months ago. >> i haven't slept at night or

days, and as much as i supposed to, i usually do, i. so it's in my heart, in my mind, in my in my family also, my family, my kids. everybody is hurting very bad. >> california highway patrol officers were called in to make sure the protests outside the auto plant did not move onto highway interstate 880 like it had earlier in the day. authorities estimate. in all, more than 80 people took part in this demonstration. now, we just heard back from the fremont police department within the last half hour or so, they tell us no arrests were made in that protest yesterday afternoon. >> garcia andre. thank you. that demonstration in fremont ended a day of disruptive protests across the bay area. the chp says officers made seven arrests at a demonstration that forced the closure of 880 northbound in oakland. for hours, officers in riot gear rushed to the scene as pro-palestine demonstrators blocked the freeway. starting just after six in the morning, the chp said. several of the protesters chained themselves to drums filled with concrete,

making them difficult to remove from the road. all lanes of northbound 880 finally reopened at 115 in the afternoon. pro-palestinian demonstrators also targeted the golden gate bridge. this was the view from skyfox, the chp says officers made 26 arrests yesterday after protesters blocked traffic and chained themselves to several cars. the protest and law enforcement response shut down the golden gate in both directions for nearly five hours. silicon valley congressman ro khanna was among those watching yesterday's demonstrations. he said blocking busy bridges and highways is likely not the best way to deliver a political message because they want to go outside the state department. >> they want to come outside congressional offices outside the capitol. i understand that, but having people stuck in traffic and not getting to work, i just don't think that they're getting their point across to build sympathy with the american public. >> the congressman also gave law enforcement officers high marks in their response to protests on the golden gate bridge. and in oakland, we have complete

coverage of the impact of yesterday's protest, as well as reaction on our website, ktvu.com. >> our time now. 7072 men have now been charged in connection with a deadly crash after a police chase last month, where one person was killed and another was hurt. patrick owens, shekels, of oakland, is facing six felony charges, including homicide. shackles was allegedly driving a stolen pickup truck. the wrong way on interstate 580, in oakland when he hit a car head on the contra costa da's office said. shekels was arraigned on friday on a video call from his hospital bed. the other suspect was charged with second degree burglary and grand theft of personal property. police say both suspects are still in the hospital recovering. the recall of alameda county da pamela price has cleared a key hurdle. >> the county registrar says there are enough valid signatures for the recall effort to proceed after nearly 50,000 signatures were disqualified,

organizers of the recall say it sends a clear message that the people of alameda county demand accountability and ethical leadership from their elected officials. the registrar will certify the results at the board of supervisors on april 30th. we did reach out to the district attorney. we have not heard back for comment. >> all right. our time is 708 right now. a one day strike is underway by health care workers in marin county at marin health medical center. again, these are live pictures you're looking at. you see the strikers out there along the curb curb. now they're joining picket lines in a demonstration that will go on until 6:00 this evening. strike organizers are demanding better pay. and they say the marin health is only offering pay raises of 2.5% a year to medical technicians. >> and we're here to fight for a fair contract. the hospital has been very profitable. we support this community. we live in this

community, and we want to be able to continue to live in this community and get fair wages in order to do that. now organizers say they've had marathon bargaining sessions with the hospital the past few days, including one that lasted almost 12 hours. >> the union says this strike is a limited one to just one day. they're trying to limit the effect and impact on patients. now, marin health's chief executive officer responded to this strike in part, saying, we will continue active negotiations with the new h w on the remaining few issues, primarily pertaining to compensation, to see if we can reach an agreement, we will make the necessary arrangements to ensure that there will be no disruption to the quality or availability of care they're accustomed to receiving. >> time now is 710. we are going to check the conditions on the road this morning. overall, things are looking pretty good, especially compared to yesterday. no big issues to tell

you about starting with the san jose area and the south bay commute. northbound 87 at curtner. there is a crash, but it's in the clearing stages, so this should improve fairly quickly. you see a live picture here of 280 in san jose, traffic moving smoothly in the north and southbound directions a bit crowded on the san mateo bridge. it will take you a little bit of time to get over, but there's no major issues once you get over to the other side on the peninsula in richmond-san rafael bridge, also a bit congested at this hour as well. 710 let's go back to the desk. >> okay, ali. thank you. it could soon get more expensive to park or ride muni in san francisco. we'll tell you about the vote that's scheduled today and how this could affect your wallet in san francisco, the paris olympics are now 100 days away. >> what? this morning's torch lighting ceremony means for the games. and how much work still needs to be done. then a quick reminder that you can now stream ktvu news on your smart tv. watch our live newscasts and get

stories on demand on your vizio smart tv, amazon fire tv, roku, apple tv and android tv. just arch

site of the ancient games in greece ahead of the paris olympics this summer. >> in gasia, an actress portraying an ancient greek

priestess lit the torch in ancient olympia. just like that, the flame will be carried by a relay of torch bearers on an 11 day journey through greece to athens. that's where it will be handed over to the olympic organizers in paris. >> we're now getting a preview of some of the venues for the summer olympics in paris, such as the aquatic center, which is what we see now. in addition to this center, there's a lot of work still being done in paris. workers are building the first ever purple running track, several landmarks will serve as backdrops for competition. beach volleyball will take place near the foot of the eiffel tower. the park at the palace of versailles will host equestrian events with global tensions in the middle east and ukraine, security and france will be at the maximum level. >> france has never deployed so many resources for security before. i have confidence in the law enforcement forces in our country to secure these games. >> france plans to host the opening ceremony along the river seine, but officials say they're

prepared to move the ceremony indoors in case of security concerns. >> time now. 715 governor newsom will welcome the crown prince of norway today to announce a new climate partnership. crown prince hawkins is already here in the bay area. we saw him getting on a san francisco bay ferry. the governor's office says california and norway share the long time goal of becoming low emission societies. both want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by the year 2050. >> happening today san francisco transit leaders will consider a proposal that could ultimately raise parking rates and some transit costs. the board of directors for the municipal transportation agency is holding a public hearing on whether to amend the transportation code, allowing the group to increase certain costs. average year long parking permits could go up by about $25. parking meter rates could increase by $1 an hour. parking fines could go up by 8% each year for the next two years, and discounts for the

clipper card would be reduced. >> time is now 716. the us supreme court denied an appeal by a woman from fremont over a buddhist temple that she built without a permit. now the court rejected and declined to hear an appeal of a circuit court judge ruling. that means the woman has to remove the buildings and the buddha statues she built across her property. city officials ordered her to take them down back in 2021, calling them a fire hazard, and said she never had permission to build them as she claimed discrimination. but a judge ruled that she didn't provide enough evidence to prove that argument. >> an effort to revive an extinct species of butterfly has new life in san francisco. the xerces blue butterfly became extinct in the 1940s, was reportedly the first butterfly species to ever disappear due to human development. scientists have been comparing the genetic code of that extinct butterfly to the structures of other common blue butterflies. after

three years of study, researchers at the california academy of sciences in san francisco's golden gate park identified a group of silvery blues that could successfully fill the ecological role left by the extinct butterfly. >> we found a thriving population that was totally capable of donating a few individuals to establish a new population, so this is a new beachhead for silvery blues, and they're standing in the big shoes of xerxes, the researchers transported the butterflies from monterey county to presidio national park in the city. >> they'll be tracking the butterflies movements using high resolution photographs to identify their markings. >> i don't think i've ever seen a blue butterfly. not that blue. >> okay. >> all right. i have seen allie rasmus, and she has seen your morning commute. how does it look now? >> overall, it looks pretty good. you know, that doesn't mean you're not going to encounter some slow traffic in the usual spots, because we can show you the map and you can see for yourself throughout the east bay and westbound 80 richmond

san rafael bridge toll plaza and southbound 680 from concord to walnut creek. there is slow traffic pretty much everywhere, but there's no crashes and no big backups that are going to take time to get cleared. a bay bridge toll plaza. things are lighting up a little bit here, looking at a 15 to 20 minute delay. no delay at all. if you're driving in those carpool lanes and here is your drive from the carquinez bridge, the macarthur maze. it's pushing up to close to 40 minutes. and again, that's because of that slow traffic around the san pablo area. no specific notes of any crashes, but just a lot of people heading the same direction. similar story for highway four and bay point. and that westbound direction. golden gate bridge shows no traffic problems at all. and some of that fog. steve paulson that you mentioned, and we're tracking earlier, looks like maybe it's already starting to burn off. it looks like a really lovely day out there. >> it does look like it's retreating. that's a good point. there ali. thank you. our system from saturday and sunday is now churning and spinning and all

the way up into the northern plains, another system offshore. but it's not nearly as well organized and does not have the same amount of dynamics associated with it. and in fact, all it's probably going to do is give us high clouds here. san jose yesterday, concord, menlo park, santa rosa, livermore, gilroy, oakland and kentfield still well below average here on a lot of these high temps between 65 and 69 degrees. but today we'll bump it up for napa, danville, palo alto and san jose from 60s to near 70. yesterday, 7475 today. temperature trend is a little bit warmer tuesday, wednesday. then i think it eases up a little bit, but still nice. could be a few near 80 tomorrow. emphasis on a few. i don't think we'll get as warm as what we saw last week. 41 now palo alto, mainly mid 40s, upper 40s to 50s. we are not as cold as yesterday. any 30s now. ukiah is 41. upper lakes close 40. middletown 41. sonoma 42. windsor 42. fairfax, san anselmo. doing their best, but i think we'll probably hang out in the 40s here. mount diablo was 39 yesterday. there are 49 this morning. that 10 degrees jump on

the north wind at 2528 truckee, south lake tahoe, alturas, early was 39. now 4353. los angeles 61. palm springs looks good today. patchy fog at best, but that high will protect us now. some higher clouds will probably break through there and give us a little increase in the next couple of days. but for today and tomorrow, temperatures on their way up. not too much, but warmer. maybe a few near 80 tomorrow, but a lot of 70s here. so you are my sunshine today for everyone. after yesterday a lot of low clouds until late in the day there plenty of sunshine. 6070. still looks pretty nice here. maybe a smidge cooler going into thursday friday. then it does look like finally for april, a weekend with no rain. how about that? >> finally, steve. thank you. 721 after two years of complaints about the noise from the portola music festival in san francisco, promoters are taking action with the festival is doing this year in hopes of soothing residents across the bay. >> plus, you were the armorer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that

could kill someone. >> the armorer on the hollywood movie set, who was involved in a deadly shooting on that set, was convicted and sentenced to prison. we tell you wha

no one person was sent to the hospital when a cow train hit their car last night in gilroy. this happened near the san martin station around 630. the car was on the track when it was

hit by a southbound train. none of the 25 passengers on the train were hurt and we still don't know the condition of the person who was inside that car. >> the judge in new mexico was sentenced to movie weapons supervisor to 18 months in prison in a deadly shooting involving actor alec baldwin. >> you alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. >> yesterday, the judge sentenced hannah gutierrez-reed to the maximum allowed for her role in the fatal shooting in the movie set of rust in march of 2021. prosecutors say she loaded a live round of ammunition into a gun, which baldwin ultimately fired at a cinematographer, killing her. gutierrez-reed spoke just before the judge announced her sentence. >> the jury has found me in part at fault for this god awful tragedy, but that doesn't make me a monster that makes me human . >> baldwin has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter. he is

set to go on trial at the same courthouse in santa fe in july. >> our time is 725. federal prosecutors say a prominent real estate developer linked to a corruption scandal at san francisco city hall should not go to jail. the san francisco stanford reports see it to bozov has admitted bribing three former city building inspectors to speed up the permit process and inspections. the standard reports federal investigators recommend the 72 year old developer get probation, six months of home confinement and a $5,000 fine. it's 725. following yesterday's big protests around the bay area and around the country, we're diving deeper into the rising tensions in the middle east. the challenging situation the u.s. is in now, as the war between israel and hamas rages on. >> plus, we're going to remind her probably every day how much of a fighter she is.

>> after six months in the hospital, when mother is finally able to take her little girl home, how she beat the odds after she was born weighing just three quarters of a pound. that's three sticks of butter. yeah. that tiny. yeah. we'll describe what's happened since her birth

but you cannot block roadways. >> dozens of arrests yesterday following protests that shut down several bay area freeways for hours. we're going to take a closer look at how difficult it was for police to remove people from the freeway. plus some historic. >> its solemn, but by moving his campaign to court, what he's doing is posing extreme challenges to the american legal system. the american constitution system, to american politics. >> and this is day two of jury selection in the criminal trial of former president trump in new york. the impact this could have on the november election. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two.

>> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome back to mornings on two i'm dave clark i'm garcia mikaelian. >> it is tuesday april 16th. let's get outside in this weather steve paulson all the stuff that had to be canceled over the weekend due to wild weather is sort of being brought back into our schedules, isn't it? >> no plan b this weekend. good. yeah, i think you're good. whatever's going on, because it does look mostly sunny and warm here. some fog, but it is retreating. there was more about a half hour ago, and i think that's a sign of things to come here. 40s on the temps here to near 50 and lots of sunshine today. so temperatures will be bumping up weak high pressure. but it's strong enough this time of year. it doesn't take much. mostly sunny today, but you are my sunshine and temperatures will be bumping. i'm not that much. i mean, we've been so far below average here. these will be near average to a little bit above 6070. all right ali is here 730 starting with we are starting with the south bay. >> there is a crash there that actually the crash there that we mentioned earlier has been cleared. that's on northbound 87 at curtner. now you see that's

out of the way. still some lingering slow traffic because of it. the new crash we're following is at the gray. this is northbound 680 just south of koopman. this is an injury crash . it's on the right hand shoulder, but there's some debris in the roadway. and that is backing things up through pleasanton all the way to the five 8680 interchange. here's a look at the san mateo bridge. it is slow going getting over to the peninsula highway 24. and lafayette is also busy. we just saw bart traveling through that center divide there in the median between those two sides of the highway, and bart is running on time. 731 let's go back to the desk. >> okay, ali, what we're learning more now about what law enforcement had to do yesterday to clear out the pro-palestinian protesters who were blocking interstate 880 in oakland and the golden gate bridge. >> the protesters said they wanted to create an economic blockade, and that action was seen here at home and in cities across the world. ktvu amanda quintana was there at the site of the oakland protest all morning long and even into the

afternoon hours. you're here now with news of some arrests. yes. >> and it was such a hectic day yesterday. all of these protests happening at the same time. but now police have kind of gotten some time to process what happened at four different protest scenes in the bay area yesterday, and they're releasing more information about what made it all so difficult to clear. >> all right. let go of your fingers. let go and let go of the. let go, let go! they're twisting it. let go for no reason. let go of the bar. let let go of the bar. >> chp put this video on social media showing the device used by protesters on northbound 880. in oakland. there were seven of these 55 gallon drums filled with rebar and concrete, with heavy duty pipes and chains attaching the protesters to them. we watched as officers had to use multiple tools to get through them, including saws and jackhammers. seven protesters were arrested there, and it took seven hours to clear all of those lanes on the golden gate

bridge, protesters used their cars with chains concealed with pipes to connect drivers to people outside of the car. it took more than four hours to clear and 26 people were arrested there. then on southbound 880, there were about 300 protesters. five of them were arrested again, taking five hours to clear all of those lanes. >> this was a complex operation and the california highway patrol made every effort to get lanes open as quickly as possible. as calls came in for service, we deployed personnel accordingly to each event. our disentanglement team was able to successfully defeat the intricate devices. the prosecution, the protesters utilized chp put out a long list of the various charges they will be facing, including unlawful assembly, refusal to comply with a lawful order, resisting false imprisonment, and unlawful to stop on a bridge for those that were on the golden gate. >> those recommendations are now

sent to the alameda and the san francisco county district attorneys. now, last night there was also a protest at the fremont tesla plant, where officers deployed pepper balls on that crowd. we are told that there were no arrests at that protest. garcia, back to you, amanda. >> thank you. pro-palestinian protesters also gathered for demonstrations in cities across the country yesterday. there were similar protests in new york, chicago, miami, among other cities. they've become an almost daily occurrence since fighting between israel and hamas began more than six months ago. >> there are some serious moral and legal questions here in terms of the role of the united states aid. >> organizers say these protests are designed to raise awareness to the more than 33,000 palestine nians who've been killed during the war. the nationwide protests come amid escalating tensions in the middle east, where israel says it will respond to iran's weekend missile strike. >> now, the united states and other allies have been urging

israel don't retaliate. the us and other countries helped israel with its defense as iran attacked, launching hundreds of drones and missiles. almost all of the drones and missiles were intercepted by israel's defense system and the warplanes of the united states and the allies. >> this attack failed because it was defeated by israel, by the united states, and by a coalition of other partners committed to israel's defense. the president urged the prime minister to think about what that success says all by itself to the rest of the region. >> now, iran says the attack was retaliation for israel's april 1st attack on iran's consulate in damascus. damascus, syria political analysts say iran's direct attack on israel is a major change in policy for iran. >> iran up to this point has been following a doctrine known as strategic patience with israel, harassing israel with

allies around the country, but not directly getting involved. >> well, israel has promised retaliation, and israeli prime minister netanyahu has been meeting with his war cabinet about it happening today, the house of representatives will send articles of impeachment against homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas to the senate in february, house republicans impeached mayorkas, accusing him of breach of trust over his handling of the southern border. >> democrats say that republicans are using the impeachment process to settle a policy disagreement about how to address the nation's immigration system, instead of doing their job and working to find legislative solutions. >> republicans have decided that impeachment of a cabinet official for actually doing his job as a better exercise of time. >> he has taken a bad situation and actually accomplished an amazing feat. he's actually made it worse. >> the next step would be a full trial in the senate. that's

unlikely because democrats are planning to dismiss the proceedings. they only need a simple majority vote. >> time now. 737 right now in new york city, donald trump is back in a courtroom for day two of his hush money trial. jury selection started yesterday with more than half of the first group of 96 prospective jurors dismissed after saying they could not be fair or impartial. trump is facing 34 felony counts, alleging he falsified business records. they center on a $130,000 payment. his former lawyer, michael cohen, paid to adult movie star stormy davis to keep her from talking about an alleged affair with trump before the 2016 election. >> the prosecution will have to show, is that trump had the intent necessary, the intent to commit or conceal another crime and i think that other crime will be federal campaign finance violations. >> now, donald trump pleaded not guilty and he denied the affair.

the trial is expected to last about six weeks, with trump required to be present in the courtroom. >> a bay area mother is grateful to finally have her new daughter at home six months after she was born. baby sierra weighed, weighed less than a pound. she weighed 12oz at birth. she was born 23 weeks back in october in berkeley at the time, doctors gave her a 4% chance of survival . her care team says even feeding baby sierra was difficult because she was so small. but take a look at her now. she is a bouncing baby girl has those fat cheeks we like. she weighs nearly. stop i know we're so happy for this family. the baby now weighs 10 pounds and is healthy and strong enough to come home. >> theory is breathing on her own. she is very active and she's drinking all her food with her bottle with her mom. and it's just that's what makes this so incredible.

southbound 680 through walnut creek. and you see that flashing icon? there is a report of a crash, a minor crash at the bay bridge toll plaza. it was blocking one of the toll booths, but now it's just been moved off to the shoulder. but it is a slow drive if you're ahead and through the east bay carquinez bridge, macarthur maze will take you 46 minutes. that's longer than we like to see it. toll plaza looking at a 20 minute delay for a minute there, it looked like it was lightning up, but not the case anymore. and highway four at bay point, you see some slow traffic there as well. 740 let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. ali, our time is 740. ticketmaster and its parent company, live nation. they're not real popular now with american consumers. we'll tell you what the justice department may be planning because of the company's practices over the past few years. >> let's head out to our newsroom now. say hello again to andre senior. as you look ahead to the next hours of mornings on two. well good morning. >> there's been a lot of talk

philadelphia published a report indicating that in the fourth quarter of last year, credit card delinquency rates reached their highest levels since 2012. researchers point out that delinquency rates do typically spike at the end of the year, due to holiday spending, but the report also shows accounts that are 30, 60 and 90 days past due were all higher than in the previous quarter, and the justice department preparing to file an antitrust lawsuit against ticketmaster and its parent company, live nation, according to the wall street journal. the lawsuit will claim live nation has engaged in anti-competitive practices. the company has faced accusations of inflated ticket prices and flawed customer service. critics say the merger of live nation and ticketmaster in 2010 has stifled competition, and that the company should be broken up, and beyonce at her new country album, spiking interest in classic cowboy fashion. her song levi's jeans on her record

breaking album cowboy carter is giving the san francisco classic quite a boost. levi's reports a 20% increase in sales since that song debuted after the album was released. levi's instagram page also gave a little nod to the track by adding an extra eye to levi's, and fans are also buying up actual physical copies of beyonce's new album. sometimes it's just streamed. i'm pam cook. that's a look at your dollars and cents. >> i had to explain to our sons what lp meant. yeah, yeah, right. we're in berkeley at amoeba. >> yeah. >> oh my gosh. good. i'm glad to see it. all right. you may have noticed an increase in new wildlife all around you this springtime. many have seen new ducklings and other baby animals making an appearance. people who care for wildlife say this is typically a busy time of year. >> we're seeing ducklings, hummingbirds, bunnies, possums, skunks are all having their babies right now, and when they're in trouble, we take care of them and release them back to

the wild. >> now, here in the bay area, many people with pools say sometimes ducklings end up in the water and can't get out on their own. so the advice from experts is to put out a board or a rug to help the little ones get out of the pool and to safety. >> that's a good idea. all right, time is 749. so far, so good. in our morning commute. ali. >> overall, i'd say yes. certainly compared to yesterday. but now we're starting to see the peninsula and the south bay commute really start to pick up, which isn't unusual for this time of the morning. the south bay commute gets a little bit of a later start, some heavy traffic on all the usual spots, 101 and on 280, and then north of there, though, we still have that crash at the snow grade. that's led to a lot of heavy traffic on southbound 680 and pleasanton that crash southbound 680 at koopman and then over on the peninsula. we have a couple of crashes on southbound 101 at willow road. so that will make your commute in this part of the bay area a little bit longer.

give yourself some extra time. you see that heavy traffic in the northbound direction of 280 past downtown, slow going on the san mateo bridge as well. we'll do a quick check of highway 24 in the east bay. if you're getting to the macarthur maze bay bridge toll plaza from this route, you'll want to give yourself some extra time as well. it's a bit slow going on 24 750 here's steve paulson, a lot of sunshine. it looks like a nice day out there from our traffic. >> it will be indeed. we had a lot of clouds yesterday but they cleared late and now they're clearing early. so we had a lot of 60s yesterday. a couple near 70. but today we're bumping up these temps napa danville, palo alto, san jose, 74, 74, 75 and 75, probably about 78, 79 on some of those highs tomorrow, a mini warming trend, really. there's not i mean, we'll peak it out on wednesday. ease up a little on thursday friday. but happy to say the weekend looks like it'll be nice, not cold and rainy like we've had the last two weekends. mount veeder oakland hills, both at 53, both with the northeast breeze. boulder creek a little cool 42 southeast, but temperatures are

about ten degrees warmer for many compared to 24 hours ago in the hills and about 3 to 5 at the surface here. but 40s 50s on the temps, 20s up in the mountains. truckee, south lake tahoe, about 2859. down in las vegas, 61. palm springs at one time this morning. arcata. eureka was 39. now 43. a lot of mish mash. nothing really organized out there. some of that high cloud deck will will move through in the next couple of days, but it won't amount to too much. patchy fog, more sun today. it will be warmer. in fact, tomorrow i think will be the warmest day. looks like a few near 80 inland, but then back off a little bit on thursday and friday. but today you are my sunshine. plenty of sunshine. fog is already retreating here. some of it might hang out near the coast, but otherwise away from it. looks good to go. 60s 70s warmer tomorrow a little bit then ease up a little. a lot of high clouds thursday friday. but there you go. the weekend looks good. >> finally, steve. thank you. 752 new concerns following news of layoffs at tesla a. some are worried about what it could mean

for the state of the electric vehicle industry. then we now know the fallout of breaking news. we had at this time yesterday. the women's federal prison in dublin is being closed , where the inmates will go and the concerns from he lov

made to the women's federal prison in dublin will be transferred by friday. the bureau of prisons is closing that prison, at least temporarily, because it no

longer meets prison standards. so far, eight correctional officers, including the warden, were been charged with sex crimes. seven of the defendants have been found guilty. ktvu talked to several family members of inmates who were concerned about these changes. >> she's scared. she don't know what's going on. she. they came and told her that the whole prison is going to shut down. >> she's petrified because she doesn't know where she's going. she's sick and she is supposed to be released immediately. >> now, a federal judge overseeing reforms held an emergency hearing. the judge directed the court appointed person in charge of the prison to make sure the inmates are properly transferred to other correctional facilities, to halfway houses, home confinement, or issued compassionate release. >> i think this is a good step in the right direction. clearly, the prison was not being properly run. it had poor management.

>> now, an attorney representing a class action lawsuit against the bureau of prisons questioned why the government didn't alert the inmates about the plans to shut down the prison. in our time now, 726, we tend to think that tornadoes are weather disasters that normally hit the heartland of the country and the great plains, but scientists are now warning that people living on the eastern seaboard should prepare for more tornadoes in the future. researchers say climate change is pushing these destructive systems towards the east coast, the western great plains, western kansas, western nebraska, western oklahoma. >> they're just running a little bit drier in those spots than maybe previous period of time. and so your precipitation has shifted east a little bit. well we've also seen a higher frequency of tornadoes, hail. >> the national weather service says changing climates are raising the overnight temperatures in parts of the country. more warmth may lead to

more instability. that drives up the chance for stronger nighttime storms and nighttime tornadoes. it is 757 new proposed legislation here in california would require that tortillas and other foods made with corn flour contain folic acid, to reduce the risk of birth defects. now, the fda requires that folic acid be included in enriched grains like cereals, breads, pasta, and rice. folic acid has been proven to prevent serious birth defects. now, supporters of this proposed legislation says since corn flour is used to make many classic latino foods, it should be included in that mandate for folic acid. 758 the portola music festival coming back to san francisco and organizers are assuring residents around the bay area around the bay in alameda it won't be so noisy

this year. the city of alameda called for that festival to end last year, after residents were complaining about the noise. festival organizers sent a letter to residents of alameda promising that all outdoor music will end by 10:45 p.m. and that organizers will place pay close attention to the audio levels. the event is scheduled for september 28th and 29th at pier 80. well there is a new music composition program that's unlock a new world for the inmates at a county jail in sonoma. i look at his face as he's listening. that inmate wrote the music he's listening to and is being played by a string quartet across the country in new york. now, 11 men took part in this ten week music program. sonoma county jail

officials say they hope to offer that same program to female inmates next year. >> well, good morning, scott peterson continues to fight for a new trial. he's set to return to a redwood city courtroom virtually 20 years after being convicted of murdering his wife and their unborn child. then this is a day that everybody should stop what they're doing and protest for palestine. well, pro-palestinian protests continue in the bay area and in an evening location yesterday that was at the tesla plant in fremont. but it was their proximity to a highway that authorities say had them concerned. and the reason health care workers in one north bay city are hitting the picket lines this morning from ktvu fox two news. this is mornings on two. welcome to mornings on two at 8:00. as you look live at oakland this morning, the sun is coming out in that area right now. the question is, how high will temperatures go? thank you so much for joining us this morning i'm andre senior.

>> good morning i'm gasia mikaelian. it is tuesday april 16th at clear blue sky. looks great steve paulson a lot of early risers may have seen some fog in the neighborhood a little bit. >> i think it's on borrowed time you guys. it will be sunny today. there's still some fog mainly on the coast. what's inland is probably not going to last much longer. 40s on the temps. even the city dipped to 49, temperatures will rebound. there's just a little bit. they're showing up. and what's left is yesterday was a lot more. so today you are my sunshine. after some patchy morning fog it will be warmer for most, if not all, today. so that equals 60s and 70s. nice. just a little above average. all right ali is here. hasn't been too bad so far unless something new happened. >> well, now we're starting to see things get a little bit busier. and a couple of relatively minor crashes here and there, but it is definitely going to slow you down, especially if you're driving on westbound 80 from hercules all the way through berkeley and the macarthur maze. it is backed up and slow going at the toll plaza . a crash that was blocking one of the toll booths has now been

cleared, but there's still a lot of slow traffic around it and taking a look at the north bay commute, heavy traffic and slow going from southbound 101 from novato all the way down to san rafael. look at this. almost an hour to get from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. that is a long time. and that's not usually what we see at 8:00 this morning. again, a couple of crashes that we mentioned there. it's just taking a while for that to clear through bay bridge toll plaza. also still busy this morning. 20 minute delay to get onto the span at least 801. let's go back to the desk. >> ali. thank you. in just about an hour, the case of convicted murderer scott peterson returns to a san mateo county courtroom. he'll appear via teleconferencing. his attorneys include a well known nonprofit, one that represents defendants who may have been wrongfully convicted. ktvu james torres live outside the courthouse in redwood city to explain this morning's expected court activity. james hey garcia, scott peterson's newest attorneys are coming from the la innocence project.

>> they are working on poking holes in the conviction. we saw 20 years ago that saw him convicted for killing his wife and their unborn child. now, today, prosecutors and defense attorneys, they'll take into the courthouse here in a downtown redwood city and talk about a motion to secure and seal some documents. that's after the la innocence project's director filed to obtain loads of evidence, some of which they argue peterson was never given access to. that includes police reports as well as audio and video recordings. in court filings, his attorneys say there are aspects of the investigation that may not have been properly vetted. specifically, an apparent burglary near the peterson's home during the same month. investigators say laci was murdered. lawyers for peterson say laci may have seen that burglary, and that could have contributed to her missing case and eventually her death at another hearing. we expect to see next month, lawyers will ask to test the dna found inside a burned van near that burglary.

we heard from legal experts telling ktvu. peterson has tried for appeals before. he has asked for new trials, but his defense this time around is trying a different approach. >> this is digging into the evidence. what did the police do? did they look at all the evidence? did they turn away from something that perchance was exculpatory? >> of course, now we know peterson was convicted. he is serving a life sentence. the attorneys who prosecuted him from the stanislaus county district attorney's office will be in the courtroom today as well as those attorneys now representing him from the la innocence project. today is one of three motion hearings planned over the next few months. peterson himself is expected to appear here via zoom from the mule creek state prison. that's about 100 miles away from redwood city, just southeast of sacramento. we expect that hearing to begin at 9:00 this morning. reporting live this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu,

fox two news. >> james, thank you for your time. law enforcement officers made dozens of arrests in dispute of demonstrations. all across the bay area. and a protest outside an auto plant in fremont last night ended a long day of pro-palestinian demonstrations. protesters demanding an immediate ceasefire in gaza, targeting the tesla plant, hoping to disrupt operations. dozens of protesters clashing with police and riot gear just outside the facility. officers say they were finally forced to use pepper balls to break up the crowd. organizers of the march and rallies say they had a reason they targeted tesla. they say the protest was in response to ceo elon musk's decision to invite israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to the fremont plant last year, the main reason was inviting netanyahu out here to tesla and what's going on with the war, and everybody should stop. the protesters managed to cause a temporary backup of supply trucks you see here that were trying to enter the tesla plant on kato road. the demonstrators say they felt they needed to express their outrage and sadness over the war between

israel and hamas that began more than six months ago. >> i haven't slept at night or days, and as much as i suppose i usually do, i so it's in my heart, in my mind, in my in my family also my family, my kids, everybody is hurting very bad. >> california highway patrol officers were called in to make sure the protest outside the auto plant did not move onto nearby interstate 880. >> that demonstration in fremont ended a day of disruptive protest across the bay area. the chp says officers made seven arrests at a demonstration that forced the closure of 880 northbound in oakland for hours. officers in riot gear rushed to the scene as pro-palestinian demonstrators blocked the freeway. starting just after 6:00 in the morning. the chp says several of the protesters chained themselves to drums filled with concrete, making it difficult to remove them from the road. all lanes of northbound 880 finally reopened at 115 in the afternoon. pro-palestinian demonstrators also targeted the golden gate

bridge. this was the view from sky fox. chp says officers made 26 arrests yesterday after protesters blocked traffic and chained themselves to several cars. the protest and law enforcement response shut down the bridge in both directions for nearly five hours. we have complete coverage of the impact of yesterday's protest and reaction on our website, ktvu.com. >> 806 now, two men have been charged in connection to a deadly crash after a police chase last month, where one person was killed and another was injured. patrick owens shekels, of oakland, faces six felony charges, including homicide. shekels was allegedly driving a stolen pickup truck the wrong way on interstate 580, in oakland when he hit a car head on the contra costa da's office said. shekels was arraigned friday on a video call from his hospital bed. the other suspect was charged with second degree burglary and grand theft of personal property and is also recovering in a hospital right now. a one day strike is underway by health care workers in marin at marin health medical

center. more than 100 medical technicians are set to join the picket lines in a demonstration that will continue until 6 p.m. strike organizers are demanding better pay, and they say that marin health is only offering pay raises of 2.5% a year to medical technicians. >> we're here to fight for a fair contract. the hospital has been very profitable, we support this community, we live in this community, and we want to be able to continue to live in this community, and get fair wages in order to do that. >> organizers say they've had marathon bargaining sessions with the hospital over the last few days, including one that lasted nearly 12 hours. the union says the strike is limited to one day to try and limit the impact on patients. now, at the same time, marin's health chief executive officer responded to the strike in part by saying, quote, we will continue active negotiations with the nyu on the remaining few issues, primarily pertaining to compensation to see if we can reach an

agreement, we will make the necessary arrangements to ensure that there will be no disruptions to the quality or availability of care they are accustomed to receiving. >> voters in berkeley head to the polls today to elect a new city council member. uc berkeley students cecilia luna parra and james chang are facing off in a special election for district seven, which includes the cal campus. today's election is to fill the vacant seat left by rigel robinson on. the berkeley councilman abruptly resigned in january, citing harassment and threats from members of the public. in the race to replace retiring silicon valley congresswoman anna eshoo, the actual physical recount of the ballots is about to begin. recount process begins monday actually began monday, with both the santa clara and san mateo counties verifying the accuracy of their tabulation machines. the district 16 congressional race features former san jose mayor sam liccardo, who received the most votes in the march primary election. the other two candidates tied for second place assemblyman evan low and santa clara county supervisor joe

simitian. >> this is a machine recount, so that means it'll go relatively quick. but before we do that, we have to do what's called a logic and accuracy test on our voting system. >> while low and simitian opposed the recount, liccardo favors it because he wants to face just one opponent in the november general election. the recount ends with low and submitted with the same number of votes again, and all three candidates advance. it could further split up the electorate. the recount is expected to take up to a week. >> we have a very busy commute in the south bay and on the peninsula. we can show you the map and some new crashes to tell you about one of them on northbound 85, just north of 280. also southbound 17, just before, state route number nine. and then looking up north from there, crash on southbound 880 at alvarado-niles and still in the clearing stages that crash at the sunol grade southbound 680 at koopman has a lot of heavy traffic backing up to the

dublin pleasanton five 8680 interchange across the bay in the peninsula, there is a crash northbound 101 excuse me, southbound 101, just south of millbrae, if you are driving to sfo, that might affect your commute. give yourself some extra time. here's a live picture of 280 in san jose past downtown. this is sort of in between, one of those crashes that we mentioned when we showed you that south bay map. it's a little slow in that northbound direction, but doing better than it was just about a half hour ago. 880 in oakland in the northbound direction. also slow going. 810. let's go back to the desk. >> well, it could soon get more expensive to park or ride muni in san francisco. the vote scheduled today and how it could impact your wallet in the city. >> the paris olympics are now 100 days away. what? this morning's torch lighting ceremony means for the games, and how much work still

it's time to get away. northern california's premier casino resort is the perfect place... ...to do as much -or as little- as you want. cache in at cache creek casino resort.

agrees. ahead of the paris olympics this summer, an actress portraying an ancient greek priestess lit that torch in ancient olympia. >> the flame will be carried by a relay of torch bearers on an 11 day journey through greece to athens, where it will be handed over to paris olympic

organizers. >> we're now getting a preview of some of the venues for the summer olympics in paris, such as the aquatic center. workers are still building the first ever purple running track. several paris landmarks will serve as backdrops for competition. beach volleyball will take place near the foot of the eiffel tower. the park at the palace of versailles will host equestrian events, and global tensions are happening in the mideast and ukraine, certainly. so security in france will be at the maximum levels. >> france has never deployed so many resources for security before. i have confidence in the law enforcement forces in our country to secure these games. >> france plans to host the opening ceremony along the river seine, but officials say they're prepared to move the ceremony indoors in case of security concerns. >> governor newsom will welcome the crown prince of norway today to announce a new climate partnership. crown prince haakon is already in the bay area, and we actually saw him getting on a san francisco bay ferry. the governor's office says california and norway share the long time goal of becoming low emission societies. both want to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by the year 2050. happening today, san francisco transit leaders will consider a proposal that could ultimately raise parking rates and some transit costs. >> the board of directors for the municipal transportation agency holds a public hearing on whether to amend the transportation code, allowing the group to increase certain costs. average year long parking permits could go up by about $25. parking meter rates could increase by $1 an hour. parking fines could go up by 8% each year for the next two years, and discounts for the clipper card would be reduced, with tesla laying off 10% of its workforce. >> some people have wondered if the demand for electric vehicles has slowed. well, analysts say demand has hit a bump between early adopters and the rest of the population, but they say despite the slower pace, the trend is still toward more evs. >> the momentum is happening so fast that it's coming. it's just we're i think we're hitting the cycle where you have the early adopter curve kind of settling and you have the general population starting to adopt. and so i think it's only natural in a market like this, any other

technology market that we're going to see kind of that blip on the radar, the emergence of electric vehicles has also generated some new business. >> one man started his own company with his pickup truck. he calls emergency. he offers emergency charges for drivers who run out of electricity in an effort to revive an extinct species of butterfly has new life in san francisco, the xerces blue butterfly became extinct in the 1940s, was reportedly the first butterfly species to ever disappear due to human development. >> scientists have been comparing the genetic code of that extinct butterfly to the structures of other common blue butterflies. after three years of work, researchers at the cal academy of science identified a group of silvery blues that could successfully fill the ecological role left by the extinct butterfly. >> we found a thriving population that was totally capable of donating a few individuals to establish a new population. so this is a new beachhead for silvery blues, and they're standing in the big shoes of xerxes. >> the researchers transported dozens of butterflies from

monterey county, then released them in the presidio national park in the city, they'll be tracking the butterflies movements using high resolution photographs to identify their markings. >> 817 is your time this morning. hopefully, ali is getting a little bit of a break today than she did yesterday. it was was a long one for sure. ali. >> yeah, a long one for drivers as well. and while there's no major road blockages this morning, there are some minor crashes and that is causing some congestion that we have seen. it's actually a pretty slow drive from hercules on westbound 80, all the way down through the macarthur maze. you can see it reflected here in that drive time under just about an hour to get from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. so give yourself some extra time if you're headed here to the bay bridge toll plaza. there is a crowd here, a 20 minute delay to get onto the span, and there was an earlier crash at the toll plaza, and that hasn't really recovered from that golden gate bridge traffic actually looks a little heavier than what we

usually see too, although there's no backups here to tell you about. and it does look like a nice sunny day out there with that, let's turn things over to steve paulson a little bit warmer out there today, right? >> that is correct, ali. and that that fog has disappeared. that was there about, what, an hour and a half ago all right. we'll take a look at our low from the weekend 48 hours ago. where is it now? it's in the northern plains and a few high clouds are spilling over the ridge. but no big deal. it'll be mostly sunny, and we'll bump the temps up from monday. when it was. we've been unseasonably cold here since the weekend. yesterday was still cool. today though it will be more mid 70s. inland coast will be still in the 60s to near 70 maybe for some. by the time we get to tomorrow. but a little mini warming pattern here, just a little bit. i think a few locations tomorrow could flirt with 80, but i don't think it will be as warm as last week when we had some 80 threes in there. it will be close to about 7980 tomorrow. 40s 50s on the temps. we already bottomed out on the lows. not as cold this morning 28. truckee 33, south

lake tahoe 66 palm springs, las vegas at 61 and 57. redding to 47. in ukiah. i didn't see any 30s. saw some low 40s. mendocino county, lake county, maybe some isolated ones. i didn't see any. not really well organized, that next system, but a lot of high clouds will break on through from that ridge of high pressure but patchy fog. more sunshine today and it will definitely be warmer as the high builds in tomorrow. will probably be the warmest day with a few. as we mentioned, near 80 degrees does look a little cooler thursday friday, but only a lot of high clouds. but today you are my sunshine. there'll be everyone in on that today. i think even in the coast, eventually 60s 70s on the temps tomorrow we'll bump it up a little bit, level it off for thursday, friday, then happy to say a nice weekend on tap. gasia >> finally, we've had so many canceled things. we're so excited. all right, steve paulson, thank you. as the artificial intelligence industry continues to grow, companies are still seeking agreement on how to make sure the algorithms are responsible. but researchers say about protecting ourselves from ai plus, you were the armorer,

the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone. >> well, the armor involved in that deadly shooting on a movie set has been sentenced to prison time, which she said just before hearing

well, look at this damage here in this video. it's just incredible. one person sent to

the hospital when a caltrain struck their car last night in gilroy. this happened near the san martin station around 630. the car was on the tracks when it was hit by a southbound train. none of the 25 passengers on the train were hurt, and we still don't know. though the condition of the person who was actually in that wrecked vehicle . >> a judge in new mexico has sentenced a movie weapons supervisor to 18 months in prison in a deadly shooting involving actor alec baldwin. >> you alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. >> yesterday, the judge sentenced hannah gutierrez reed to the maximum allowed for her role in the fatal shooting on the movie set of rust in march of 2021. prosecutors say she loaded a live round of ammunition into a gun, which baldwin ultimately fired at cinematographer halyna hutchins, killing her. gutierrez reed spoke just before the judge announced her sentence. >> the jury has found me in part at fault for this god awful tragedy, but that doesn't make me a monster that makes me human

. >> baldwin has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter. he is set to go on trial at the same courthouse in santa fe in july. >> at 824, the u.s. supreme court denied an appeal by a woman from fremont over a buddhist temple she built without permit. the court declined to hear an appeal of a circuit court judge's ruling. that means the woman must remove the building and the buddhist statues she built across her property. city officials ordered her to take them down in 2021, saying they were a fire hazard and she never had permission to build them. the woman claimed discrimination, but a judge ruled that she did not provide enough evidence to prove that argument. >> san francisco police have increased the reward for information that leads to the arrest of whoever shot and killed a man last summer. police say they received a call from 22 year old rolando jakari bell on august third, saying he'd been shot on kellogg street in visitacion valley. he later died at a hospital. police are now offering a $125,000 reward for

information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman. no suspects have been identified. police say this volkswagen that was recovered by investigators is tied to the killing. anyone with information is asked to contact san francisco police. >> well, following yesterday's protests in the bay area and across the country, we're diving deeper into the rising tensions in the middle east. the challenging situation that the united states is now in, as the war between israel and hamas rages on. >> plus, we're going to remind her probably every day how much of a fighter she is. >> after months in the hospital, one mother is finally able to take her little girl home, had the baby beat the odds after she was born weighing less than 1 pound. and.

roadways. hours of gridl ock on a major bay area freeway and the golden gate bridge now. dozens of arrests following yesterday's protest. why police say it was so difficult to take quicker action, and what in particular stymied officers efforts to clear the road? >> plus some historic it's solemn. but by moving his campaign to court, what he's doing is posing extreme

challenges to the american legal system, the american constitutional system, to american politics. >> it's day two of jury selection in former president donald trump's criminal trial in new york. the impact this could have on the november election. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. we're so glad you're here. >> good morning. >> i'm gasia mikaelian i'm andre senior. today is tuesday, april 16th. let's find out what the weather is going to be like for today, i think, you know, i think you know what it's going to be. do i do you do i though sunny, but you can explore in greater depth, warmer than yesterday, that's for sure. we had a lot of clouds, but, the fog which was there trying to make a push has definitely disappeared. and temps are bumping up here. 40 now, 50 livermore, palo alto, san jose. lots of sun, a few high clouds, a little bit of fog. but most of that is burning off or will burn off shortly. there are a few clouds spilling down to the

north. no big deal. people only had weather would notice it, but mostly sunny today. it looks good. temperatures are bumping up a lot more sunshine today than we had yesterday, and temps will be in the 60s and 70s. and if you want a little warmer, just wait. tomorrow does look a little warmer today though. looks pretty nice. all right, alice here. better, worse. same winding down. >> the commute is better than it was yesterday. but steve, as you know, that's a very low bar since yesterday was disastrous on the roads today, there's no major problems or freeways shut down, unlike 24 hours ago. but you still have a lot of heavy traffic, especially in the south bay, which the commute here is really picked up just in the last hour or so. southbound 880 to 280. there is now a crash there and that is tying things up, pretty much, silicon valley wide. so we also still have that crash on southbound 680 at koopman at the sunol grade. and that crash from earlier westbound 580 at grant line road and across over on the peninsula. a couple of crashes in the millbrae area. if you're

driving to the airport, give yourself some extra time. but san mateo bridge traffic is moving along and taking a look at highway 24 and lafayette. it's been busy for the last couple of hours. there you see bart making a cameo appearance in this live traffic picture. bart is running on time. we'll end out here with the bay bridge toll plaza. you're looking at a 15 to 20 minute delay to get onto the span. 831 let's go back to the desk. >> all right. new information. just into the channel two newsroom. now, we're learning that three people have been arrested in connection to saturday's double homicide in napa. that left two young women dead. napa police say the swat team arrested 22 year old john nicholson last night in vallejo on suspicion of two counts of murder. two other people were arrested on suspicion of aiding in a felony, police say. despite the arrests, they're still hoping to talk to anyone who has information about the murders. at 832. now we're learning more about the lynch law enforcement had to go through in order to

clear protests. protesters blocking 880 and the golden gate bridge pro-palestinian protesters wanted to create an economic blockade. >> a former protest we saw in cities around the world yesterday. ktvu amanda quintana was out in it all day on 880 in oakland. she's in studio now with more on news of arrests. >> yes, well, it was a very hectic day for police trying to respond to this, but now that they've kind of gotten some time to process what happened at all for protest scenes in the bay area yesterday, they're releasing more information about what made it so difficult to clear. >> like all your fingers let go and let go of the let go. let go out there twisting it. let go. twisting it for no reason. let go of the bar. let go. let go of the bar. >> chp put this video on social media showing the device used by protesters on northbound 880. in oakland. there were seven of these 55 gallon drums filled with rebar and concrete, with heavy duty pipes and chains attaching the protesters to them. we watched as officers had

to use multiple tools to get through them, including saws and jackhammers. seven protesters were arrested there, and it took seven hours to clear all of those lanes. on the golden gate bridge, protesters used their cars with chains concealed with pipes to connect drivers to people outside of the car. it took more than four hours to clear and 26 people were arrested there. then on southbound 880, there were about 300 protesters. five of them were arrested again, taking five hours to clear all of those lanes. >> it was an orchestrated event that they put forth. they blocked three separate locations on freeways, they prevented, you know, law enforcement, paramedics, ambulances to get to their points of destination and prevented that from happening. and that's that can't happen. >> chp put out a long list of the various charges they'll be facing, including unlawful assembly, refusal to comply with a lawful order, resisting false imprisonment and unlawful stop on a bridge for those that were

on the golden gate. those recommendations are now being sent to the alameda and san francisco county district attorneys. last night, there was also a protest at the fremont tesla plant, where officers deployed pepper balls on that crowd. but we are told there were no arrests at that protest. garcia, back to you. amanda >> thank you. pro-palestinian protesters also gathered for demonstrations in cities across the country. yesterday. we saw similar protests in new york, chicago, seattle, among other cities. they have become an almost daily occurrence since fighting between israel and hamas began more than six months ago. these nationwide protests come amid escalating tensions in the middle east, where israel says it will respond to iran's weekend missile strike. >> the united states and other allies have been urging israel not to retaliate. the other us and other countries helped israel with its defensive posture as iran attacked, launching hundreds of drones and missiles. almost all of the drones and missiles were intercepted by israel's defense system, and the warplanes of the u.s. and the allies.

>> this attack failed because it was defeated by israel, by the united states, and by a coalition of other partners committed to israel's defense. the president urged the prime minister to think about what that success says all by itself to the rest of the region. >> now, iran says the attack was in retaliation for israel's april 1st attack on iran's consulate in damascus, syria. political analysts say iran's direct attack on israel is a major change in policy for iran. >> iran, up to this point has been following a doctrine known as strategic patience. with israel harassing israel with allies around the country, but not directly getting involved. >> israel has promised retaliation, and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been meeting with his war cabinet about that issue happening today. >> the house of representatives will send articles of impeachment against homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas to the senate. in

february, house republicans impeached mayorkas, accusing him of breach of trust over his handling of the southern border. democrats say that republicans are using the impeachment process to settle a policy disagreement on how to address the nation's immigration system, instead of doing their job and working to find legislative solutions, republicans have decided that impeachment of a cabinet official for actually doing his job as a better exercise of time. >> he has taken a bad situation and actually accomplished an amazing feat. he's actually made it worse the next step would be a full trial in the senate, but that's unlikely because democrats are planning to dismiss the proceedings. >> they only need a simple majority vote. >> 837 now, right now, donald trump is back in new york city courtroom for the second day of his hush money trial. jury selection began yesterday with more than half of the first group of 96 prospective jurors dismissed after saying they could not be fair or impartial. trump faces 34 felony counts, alleging he falsified business

records, and they sent her on a $130,000 payment his former lawyer, michael cohen, made to adult film star stormy daniels to keep her from talking about an alleged affair with trump ahead of the 2016 election. >> well, the prosecution will have to show is that trump had the intent necessary, the intent to commit or conceal another crime. and i think that other crime will be federal campaign finance violations. >> trump has pleaded not guilty and denied the affair. the trial is expected to last six weeks, with trump required to be present in court. >> now to the story of a baby who beat the odds after she was born at just 23 weeks, weighing less than a pound, ktvu krystal bailey reports. doctors gave the little girl a 4% chance of survival. now, six months after her birth, she is finally at home. >> she's smiling. yeah, i see that smile. >> sarah was born on october 16th, weighing just 12oz, her feet the size of a quarter. her hands squeezing the tip of a

their own. so the advice is to put out a board or a rug to help them get out of the pool. oh. >> so cute. all right, 848 your time right now. allie rasmus is back with a check of the roads. thinks clearing up any. >> not really. unfortunately it's just a slow go. pretty much anywhere. you're driving in the east bay, also peninsula and south bay. so we're just in a tough commute this morning, although not nearly as bad as it was when roads and bridges were blocked yesterday. we don't have any of that, just some slow traffic and a lot of people trying to get to the same place. we do have a report of a new crash right on the bay bridge, westbound 80 just east of the center anchorage, and that is blocking one of the lanes. and so you see that that solid red right in the middle of the bay bridge, that's going to slow things down for you. there taking a look at your drive from the carquinez bridge to macarthur maze, this has been flirting with about an hour drive time for the last hour and a half or so. it's just been a very long commute on that westbound 80 corridor. highway

really a strong system for this time of year. but all signs are pointing towards a little mini warm up here. and this i don't think it will be as warm as last week. we had some 8283 in there, but wouldn't surprise me tomorrow if we peaked out around 79 or 80 for a few inland brentwood's already 60. there's 50 already, so we're we're bumping up here. won't take long. slight northerly breeze, a little northeast. that'll help. certainly over by the coast. also around the bay. side locations 2833 truckee, south lake tahoe 47 ukiah to 53 in sacramento, a lot of high clouds are probably on the way for the next few days, but that's the only fly in the ointment as this high says. not, not, not. there's nothing organized or anything that's going to drop in here at least probably for at least a week, is the way it looks so warmer tomorrow. near 80 on the temps today will be pretty nice though, with mid 70s. and we'll take a look at the futurecast on rain. anything? no, except maybe a teeny bit over the sierra. there's nothing showing up, so we may be looking at passing nine straight days without any rain, which goes all the way back to december. we may be

looking at 9 or 10 here before the next one shows up. lots of sunshine, few high clouds, no biggie. 60s 70s on the temps tomorrow a little warmer then we'll ease up still. okay, so we head on thursday. friday the weekend though. have i told you about the weekend? >> gasia say it again steve. >> it looks nice. it does not look rainy and cold. >> good. >> it's going to be a completely different get out there. it's going to be packed out there. i bet, for providing essential support to offering access to tailored resources. one local nonprofit, creating a more inclusive society for individuals on the autism spectrum. when you join us on the nine, we'll introduce you to the bay area autism collective, which is working to lead the way toward a brighter future. also we now know the fallout of breaking news we had at this time yesterday. >> the women's federal prison in dublin is being closed, where the inmates will go and the concerns from their

restraints and solitary confinement. >> if the bill passes, a public dashboard with the data would need to be available online by january 1st of next year. >> well, we tend to think that tornadoes are weather disasters that normally strike the nation's heartland and great plains. but scientists are now warning that people living in the eastern seaboard area should brace for more twisters in the future. researchers say. climate change is pushing these destructive systems toward the east coast, the western great plains, western kansas, western nebraska, western oklahoma. >> they're just running a little bit dryer in those spots than maybe previous period of time. and so your precipitation has shifted east a little bit. well we've also seen a higher frequency of tornadoes. >> the national weather service says changing climates are raising overnight temperatures in parts of the u.s. more warmth may lead to more instability, which drives up the chance for stronger nighttime storms and nighttime tornadoes. a new music
