going to have a whole lot of sun today. so steve paulson, he's been tracking all of it for us. he's going to give us an update in just a few minutes. on why it looks so gorgeous outside right now and what you can expect in your area and in inland areas as well. now, if you plan on traveling this summer, experts say you should expect to pay more steep prices. according to couture trips, bookings continue to rise and hotels, airfare and tours are only expected to get more expensive. hopper reports that domestic round trip airfares are averaging $325 per ticket, while international flights are hovering around. get this 1000 bucks. meanwhile data from kayak shows that hotel rates are averaging $300 per night nationwide, whereas international it is $315. experts say if you're planning to book for summer travel, now is a good time and we want to get some reaction from you here this morning. we're asking, are you planning to travel this summer? your options are yes, i plan to splurge. no, it's too expensive or i'll do a staycation. scan the qr code on

your screen at ktvu.com/vote, and let's take a look at what some people have been voting right now. yes, i am splurging with 47. no, it's too expensive, 23% and 30% say i'll do a staycation and why not? the bay area does have quite a bit to offer. you know, if you want to get go a little further down the coast for a little nicer beach, you know you can definitely do a warmer beach, is what i mean. instead of going like maybe to ocean beach or although in the summer you can, you can go out there and is really nice, you know, it's not too bad in the summer over in that area. so if you're planning to splurge, i'm kind of a tahoe guy. >> in fact, i was there the last couple of days, but i did just buy a ticket a few weeks ago to boston. yeah, and it wasn't cheap. so, really. >> but of course i booked two weeks out, so. >> well, something to do with it. but >> and first class too, so that probably had something. >> but of course andre. now i'm back in like seat 31 d but yeah but it isn't cheap that's for sure.

>> yeah i know i was go ahead. >> no no no i was going to say you have plans. >> well i got some something coming up next month to hawaii and that's going to be pretty expensive. the hotel prices are. yeah. the flights, the flights are comparable to what we just read, you know, like 400 bucks. but i'm like, i'm gonna have to sleep on the beach, right? >> right. >> which is not so bad. and in oahu, by the way. exactly. >> so places i mean, meanwhile, this is the kind of weather that makes us all want to stay home, at least for now. >> steve paulson i, for one, am excited for the slight warm up that's headed our way. >> but you like it right? about 80, so not too much higher. >> i mean, honestly, i can go 84, 85, 80 livermore here. >> i know i grew up in that. >> you know what? no no, no, no, it makes a lot of sense. that's right. >> you livermore girl. you >> yeah. >> all right. temperatures will bump up a little bit today, but not too much. i mean, we're really. we were warmer last week. i think. so. signed a lot of high clouds, a little haze now. warmer about the same tomorrow, but a cooler pattern on friday. a lot of people are saying so we're done with rain

does not look like it. the climate prediction center's 8 to 14 day outlook, 24th through the 30th, has above normal rain for us about san francisco, oakland, south. i'd say the 2620 seventh looks possible. a lot of the forecast models are hinting at a return to some rain, and it makes sense. it's been this way since december. a lot of high clouds, some sun, but there's a lot of high clouds offshore that will continue to stream in here. so temps a lot of 77 yesterday, san jose, san ramon, atherton and napa today, 80, 79, 79 and 80. close temperatures. if we don't top out today, it will be for some inland today, but it'll probably be too many high clouds tomorrow. so we'll go today being the warmest day. and you can see the higher clouds. you'll get some breaks. but boy, there's plenty out there. 5060 already on the temps. we are running warmer than yesterday at this time. a good 2 to 6 degrees warmer. most locations in around three, 4 to 5. but look at all that high cloud deck and that could take an edge or two a degree off some of those temps. this little guy, little system will drag across us to the south central california. that will open the door to a little cooler

pattern on friday. but for today and into tomorrow, except for the higher clouds, we look good to go for. sunshine. mostly sunny, kind of hazy as we talked about, but temps popping up cooler friday, then a rebound on the weekend. happy to say, not the first weekend in april. it's been cold and rainy. high clouds, temperatures inland, upper 70s 80, coast and bay, 60s 70s. everyone looks to be above average on the temps. looks pretty quiet and even better by the time we get to the weekend. >> all looks good. thank you steve. speaking of getting away, we begin with a developing story where flights have resumed after the faa ordered all alaska airlines flights grounded this morning, the airline said it was having some issues with its system that calculates weights for planes and at 730, after installing an update because of that problem, it asked the faa to ground all of its flights. that lasted for about an hour and flights were back into the air around 830 this morning. so a little over a half hour ago. anyone flying alaska today, though, expect some delays. >> all right. today, two senate committees are looking into boeing's safety culture. boeing's manufacturing process

have come under question here over the last few months. following that incident back in january when that door plug on that 737 max nine plane flew off shortly after the alaska airlines flight took off, several whistleblowers, people who used to work for boeing, testified at a hearing this morning before the senate homeland subcommittee. one accused boeing of a cover up following the door plug incident the ntsb chair reiterated to congress last week that boeing has said there are no records documenting the removal of the alaska airlines door. >> i'm not going to sugarcoat this. this is a criminal cover up. records do, in fact, exist. i know this because i've personally passed them to the fbi. boeing's corporate leaders continue to conceal the truth. they continue to mislead and deceive the public about the safety of the planes that is the safety culture at the top of the boeing company right now. >> the other hearing this morning before the senate commerce committee focused on the procedures and training of boeing employees. that's after a panel of aviation experts

released a report that criticized boeing's safety culture as, quote, inadequate and, quote, confusing. >> we're now learning more about the fallout from protests that took over parts of a busy bay area freeway and the golden gate bridge for hours this week. dozens of arrests, but so far no one's been charged. ktvu reporter allie rasmus tracking what happens when prosecutors are waiting and likely what they're waiting for. >> yeah, they're waiting for more information. according to the san francisco district attorney's office, a total of 38 people were arrested on monday for demonstrations that happened on interstate eight, 80 in oakland and the golden gate bridge. as we know, those demonstrations tied up traffic for hours across those two bay area counties. now, at the golden gate bridge, the chp arrested 26 protesters. some of whom had chained themselves to their cars, blocking traffic for several hours. the protesters were calling for an end to the war in gaza, and us military support for israel. the chp arrested the people there on suspicion of several misdemeanor charges, including unlawful assembly and failure to

disperse. but the chp in this case also wants the san francisco da's office to charge these protesters with a felony for conspiracy, accusing them of essentially working together to plan that demonstration, that felony recommendation took protesters and supporters by surprise. >> what's really important to note here is that these felony charges are ridiculous and almost unprecedented. >> san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins, meanwhile, says her office needs more time to review the evidence before prosecutors can file charges. in the meantime, the 26 protesters from that golden gate bridge demonstration were all released from jail. >> that does require a certain amount of evidence for us to feel that we can meet that burden beyond a reasonable doubt. we certainly want to make clear in any situation, though, that when people violate the law that there will be accountability. >> as for the 12 protesters arrested for blocking traffic on interstate 880, we are trying to

find out what charges they might face from the alameda county district attorney's office. we've reached out to their office and have not yet heard back. the 880 protesters. some of them had chained themselves together using concrete filled barrels. it took nearly seven hours to unchain them and remove those barrels from the freeway. governor gavin newsom was asked about these demonstrations and the impact. >> i certainly respect that. the cause that around the cease fire, the president, united states, i support that. i support his approach to that issue. and i believe fundamentally that's part of what they're expressing. but i think there's a better way of expressing it than this. >> now, you'll recall back in november, there was a similar protest that blocked the bay bridge, and one of the people arrested in connection with that demonstration, who says he was an innocent bystander watching the protest and was wrongly accused of being involved. he is now suing the city of san francisco for wrongful arrest. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins says her office is still looking through all the

video from monday's golden gate bridge protest, and that includes video from cameras. official cameras on the bridge and at the toll plaza, as well as video posted on social media before deciding what charges to pursue. >> have you guys got to leave you guys refusing to leave? yes. okay. you first end up all right. >> well, five google employees here were arrested for refusing to leave the sunnyvale office of the ceo of google cloud. that's what you're seeing here in this video. it was part of a protest over google's contract with the israeli military. now the protest was part of a coordinated day of action by google employees in silicon valley, new york city and seattle, as well. not another push, not another line. >> no more tech for genocide. >> google employees in sunnyvale want google to cancel a $1.2 billion contract with israel, called project nimbus. the protesters say they are concerned the facial recognition and object tracking provided by nimbus enables the israeli military to target and kill

civilians in gaza. >> the countries around. >> it is impossible for me to continue coming into work every week without acknowledging and loudly condemning project nimbus . >> google released a statement following the arrests, saying in part, quote, physically impeding other employees work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies. we will investigate and take action. these employees were put on administrative leave and their access to our systems was cut. after refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety. >> another college president, facing questioning before congress over her response to anti-semitism on the campus. columbia university's president testifying this morning in front of the house education committee. all this comes just four months after a hearing by the same committee put several other top universities under scrutiny. congress woman elise stefanik spoke ahead of this

morning's hearing, slamming columbia university leaders for failing to protect their jewish students despite claims otherwise. >> columbia's leadership refuses to enforce their own policies and condemn jewish hatred on campus, creating a breeding ground for anti-semitism and a hotbed of support for terrorism. from radical ized faculty and students. >> during today's hearing, all four columbia officials present said calls for the genocide of jewish people violate the university's code of conduct. all right. >> there has been a lot of talk about the teenage brain, its strengths and deficits compared to how adults think. but coming up next on the nine, a new film goes deep into what remains a mystery to so many. we'll talk with the documentary filmmaker about what she learned while exploring the minds of teenagers . then the number of whooping cough cases rising around the bay area. many parents getting notifications about exposures in the classroom. we're talking live with the doctor about the biggest concerns and what to look for in this do you want to close out?

okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. (♪) schools in san francisco. and there's growing concern among parents especially. many are getting notifications here and there of cases across bay area campuses. let's bring in a familiar face and leading voice in infectious disease prevention. good morning to ucsf doctor peter chin-hong. thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure. gasia. thanks

for having me on. >> of course, of course. how concerned are you, doctor? and really, how concerned should we be about whooping cough here in the bay area? >> well, i think we've been seeing a lot of cases pop up globally. this is the most cases in the world since 2012, we see an increase every 3 or 4 years, but i think we're also catching up from the pandemic, like colds and rsv and flu. so that's also part of the problem, we don't usually have to be this concerned, but i think because us, kids may not be up to date in vaccines because of delays in getting vaccines during the pandemic, they are particular risks. so i think it's important for us adults to really know how to best protect them. >> you know, we talked a few weeks ago about this, like seemingly never ending cough that's making a way around the region, i've read that that whooping cough has like that seal like bark. is that the only way we can tell that that a cough is of particular concern? >> yeah, not not, the only way i

think, in terms of babies, they may not be able to cough that way. so you just have to look out for some of the typical symptoms, like rsv or like, other, you know, or influenza even, meaning that the baby's not feeding. well, it's more listless and sleepy, even turning blue around the lips. but for adults and younger kids, not the very young, you cough so much that you have to take a deep breath at the end of that coughing spell, and that's the woop. >> okay, so it's more like you're gasping for air. you're not trying to, you know, expel what's stuck in your throat. not to be gross. yes. okay. >> yes. definitely. >> got it. all right, let's talk about vaccines. california students have to be vaccinated against whooping cough. it's the p pertussis in the tdap vaccine. who is most protected right now. when does that protection wane. and at some point do we think about getting another round of tdap? >> yeah, those are all great questions. so, kids get vaccinated five times, up to the

age of two months. so that means, babies under the age of two months are not that well protected. so if you're interacting with very young babies, i think making sure you're up to date on vaccines is really important. there's a booster at around age 11 to 12, some kids may miss that booster, and when they grow up to adults, they may not have had that booster for pertussis. so as adults, it's really important. you know, you get a tetanus shot every ten years or so. not everybody gets pertussis included in that tetanus shot. so, you might want to ask your provider or walgreens or when you get that shot, does it include pertussis? because does every adult, at least one should get it. and some people might want to get it, you know, every time they get a tetanus shot. it's not dangerous. yeah. i mean, and the, the other group, sorry, is pregnant, persons during the third trimester to protect the newborn, right? >> i mean, you speaking of newborns, my little sister had a baby a couple of years ago. she

sent out a note. you need to be fully up to date on your vaccinations before you come to the house and meet the baby, and that's what got, you know, my family, my siblings and parents to, like, be like, hey, are we up to date? let's figure out, are you still seeing that lag in vaccinations as a result from the pandemic? people not going to the doctor as they should? >> definitely, because, you know, prevention is always the last thing that people think about because people are just trying to catch up with, you know, i had this, chest pain or i need to get, you know, my this bleeding for gadot. i think vaccines always get put at the end. and, of course, you know, we've had so much divisiveness around vaccines from covid, so i think that's bleeding over into the way many people think about vaccines in general. >> well, thanks to baby arthur, i'm all up to date doctor peter chin-hong. it's so good to talk with you again. thank you for your time and your expertise. >> thanks so much. gasia. >> of course, coming up on mornings on two, the nine attorneys representing convicted killer scott peterson in a bid for a new trial are hoping that

dna tests will be key. what they're focusing on, that they say was overlooked at the time of the killings, then the warriors season is over a lot sooner than most people expected. and what happened in sacramento and why? there's no a lot finally yasso! a ridiculously creamy, dipped, chipped, sandwiched, ice cream-like experience that's super snackable and made with greek yogurt. so ice cream, get the whoop out of our freezer! yasso. love it or it's free. after cooking a delicious knorr chicken cheddar broccoli recipe you will want to close your delivery apps. because nothing beats a perfect combo of sweet tomatoes, and smooth silky zucchini. make your own knorr taste combo. it's not fast food, but it's so good.

help of the l.a. innocence project. that's a nonprofit representing people who may have been wrongfully convicted in court yesterday, his lawyers asked the court to seal the identities of potential new witnesses, but then withdrew that request after prosecutors told the court much of the information is already public. >> they're laying the groundwork right now in making these preliminary motions to get the information that will provide the gravamen the heart of this motion for a new trial, if everything is agreeable. >> peterson was convicted of killing his wife, laci, and their unborn son more than 20 years ago in modesto. attorneys with the innocence project say modesto police withheld evidence from defense attorneys and disregarded a robbery that occurred near the peterson family home. happening today, a lockdown is being lifted at one of san francisco's jails. >> the number two jail in downtown will reopen after being

a sunshine today. temperatures are ticking up. i hope you like the warmth. i am so excited for a nice clear weekend. we've had so many activities canceled. this is like makeup week. we're trying to fit them all in. i hope you are still feeling okay. even though the warriors had a big loss last night that ended their season happened a lot sooner than many people planned. warriors eliminated from the postseason play after losing to the sacramento kings 118 to 94, in the play in tournament last night, they were favored king starters. outscored the warriors starters 104 to 48. this early exit could mean an overhaul for the team. klay thompson will now be a free agent, was zero for ten shooting and zero points. here is thompson another man. >> we need klay back i mean he's he didn't make any shots. i know he had a tough night. he's still got good good years left. and i know i speak for everybody in

the organization. we want him back andre with the fact checking. >> it's so rare that we say that right. it's unbelievable. >> especially if the last game where he where he scored i think 25 points. that team. yeah >> we have to see this and talk about it. after the game the kings lit up the sky outside golden one. it is kings tradition as you know after a victory to light the i mean middle of april is not usually when the warriors season ends. >> no it's not. this is very unusual. no one expected to see this. yeah but i will say at the beginning of the season things were looking a little rough and i was like, oh, this is not off to a good start. then they pulled it together. then they pulled it together and as we saw there, they made it to this point of the game. frank, i got to tell you, you know, i was happy to see that they recovered, and i think they were even favorites going into this game. >> they were favored by two, and they had won, what, ten out of their last 12? yeah, i was on the road on highway 80 buzzing through sacramento right at game time looking for the station to kind of plug in. finally got it

about i don't know, midway through the first quarter. and they're down by 14. i'm like no, they'll come back. they'll come back. but they they never quite recovered. so not gelling. >> and the future of the team though the future of the team is what everyone's going to be looking for. >> well, they can't afford klay at what they're paying him right now. right. he's going to take a monster pay cut above the salary cap. >> he could stay. >> but maybe it's time to break them up. let the new blood go in and see what happens. >> kevon looney chris paul are two of the people that were talked about. >> chris paul will probably be gone, but all right. >> yeah. so we got to see what next season is going to bring. so the next several months it's going to be really key here especially in the draft. >> so all right it's baseball time. >> it's baseball time. yeah. all right. there was less lighting around oakland's lake merritt earlier this morning. the historic street lamps lining the lake were targeted by vandals. ktvu bailey o'carroll joins us live from the lake, where many lamps have been cut down. bailey, tell us about it. >> good morning guys. that's right, a number of these street lamps have been cut down all along this nearly three and a half mile perimeter of lake merritt. i'm going to move out of the way so you can see what it looks like. obviously, you got the stand there, but no

light pole coming out of it. and these light posts here along lake merritt are quite historical. they've been out here since the 20s, and according to the city at last check earlier this month, 34 curb boxes had been broken into. about ten light poles were down. some of those because of vandalism, others because of fallen trees that, according to the city. they also say that they have deployed teams to repair the downed lights and install temporary lights. it will take the original vendor who made these historic light posts, some time to kind of rebuild them. and the crew will also reinforce curb boxes that have not been damaged in hopes that they don't get damaged. we did speak to a resident who walks this lake almost every day , and asked him what his message would be for the city. >> talk about it, okay? it would be nice if they opened their mouths and acknowledged that something was happening. they rarely do unless they're pushed, and i haven't heard a word out of them about any circumstance

happening at the lake, the encampments, the crazy people, the lights going out, nothing. >> well, you can see the original light post behind me. that's what they're supposed to look like. and you can see those string lights kind of tangled up and hung up against that light pole. that is because the light pole right next to it, which they use to connect those string lights, was obviously taken down. it's what we showed you just a little bit ago. and as we pulled up to this section of the lake about 15 minutes ago, some work crews arrived. they're putting up a temporary light pole. they said it takes just about a couple of hours to get those temporary lights put up. so some residents hopefully getting some relief from walking without so much light when it is at night or before the sun comes up in the morning. but it's still unclear if the city plans to investigate who is responsible for this vandalism. reporting live in oakland. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> bailey. thank you. voters are

still being counted in berkeley in a special election to replace a city council member who resigned in january, two uc berkeley students are actually running against each other for this seat, according to the county elections office. cecilia parra is leading over james chang. the race has been overshadowed by a report in the campus newspaper, the daily cal. it says a former volunteer for chang's campaign accuses him of sexual assault, something he denies. >> this is a hit piece. this is a concerted and intentional political attack, and i find it abhorrent. and that they would co-opt such a serious subject for political gain. >> i am appalled and saddened that, somebody was affected in this way or allegedly affected in this way. >> the elections office says the final results should be in by next tuesday. >> all right. the april 15th deadline for your taxes has come and gone, and the irs reports that the average refund was a

little more than $3,000, which is about 5% from last year. up, actually. and if you're hoping to spend that money for the ultimate travel experience, we've got some great tips from you. gabe salyer, the senior editor at travelzoo. always good to see you. >> good to see you. i have to cut a check this week. so for those of you who are getting back some money from uncle sam, you were going nowhere. i'm going hunting for a new accountant. no i'm kidding, joanne is great. joanne is just, you know, sometimes his deductions don't work the way you thought they were going to go. >> maybe a staycation, maybe a staycation for me. >> yes, sir. >> we'll go there. well, let's say you got three grand and you've never been to italy or europe. help us out. what are we doing? >> all right, so europe is going to be hot again this year. the strategy for europe is in fact, if you start looking at airfare for europe right now, you might see some sticker shock because we're already on the leading edge of people gobbling up those flights and these destinations as they were last year, will be very popular this summer. so if you're looking to use your your refund on a european vacation to get that done asap, we're going to see some from right about mid

to late june, some high demand sticking through all the way through september october. >> that three grand may not go very far too far. >> if you're taking the whole family of five. >> yeah, not at all. okay, we'll rapid fire a few things. just give us some ideas. yeah. parks, beaches? >> yeah. national parks, state parks or any real, any beach destination in demand this summer in a big way. we're looking at these great outdoor destinations. if you're if you've got a southern california spot you love, if you're going to do florida, if you're going to do any national park with the family you want to reserve those spots. you want to book those resorts and hotels asap. >> how about a value deal? >> yeah. good deal. well, yeah, i mean, i think you've got some destinations like say, maybe not at national parks, but surrounding national parks for example, mammoth, which are, you know, is going to see a long ski season. and i think you'll see some some good price breaks come late june into july. those snow capped mountains become a sort of a haven for hikers and bikers in the in the summer, and prices can drop a good 30 to 50. >> yeah, they were skiing till august last year. august 6th. yeah, i just got back from tahoe. i don't think that's

happening this year was i think it was 71 degrees up there. it was crazy. when's the best time to buy a ticket? some say tuesday, wednesday morning. is there really a gig that way? a tuesday and wednesday are the best days to actually do the flying. >> that's where demand is softer. so if you're going to say las vegas, a tuesday flight will usually cost you less than a monday flight and certainly less than a friday flight. so timing tuesday, wednesday, saturday best day. so actually fly just because the price is going to be better. yeah tuesday still tends to be a good day to expect some of those sales to pop up in your email. but at the end of the day, if you're just on the alert seven days a week, you're bound to find a flight deal you like big city bargains any out there? >> yeah. >> listen, during the summer season, we're still not seeing business travel back to where it was pre-pandemic. but the fact of the matter is that if you wait to go to a big city like a new york or a chicago or even a san francisco during the summer season, midweek, when business travel is a little bit less in demand, you might find some good bargains there. >> all right, let's blow the entire refund, or we'll do it in increments. we'll do it in increments. we'll go to sonoma

on 10. yeah. >> you want to take 10% of that average $3,000 refund. you got about 300 bucks. where can i go? you know, i'm a big fan of sonoma county, easy to get to on a haven for some of the. i love the wine there, obviously, but you know, you're a spa guy, frank up there. oh yeah. chardonnay. some of those rhone varietals, a world class. i do love the fairmont sonoma mission inn and spa rates over the summer, starting about 309. so that's about a 10th of that refund. and it puts you on those beautiful 12 acres on its own network of mineral hot springs, fantastic dining at santee, great golfing there as well. so yeah, one nighters, all you need to just sort of unplug, recharge and get back to reality. >> and it's what, maybe a 40 minute trip. easy too. yeah. let's go to arizona. all right. you want to do 30. >> you want to do a $30,000 investment on a great trip. it gets hot. but before you say anything, it's a dry heat. frank. in the arizona desert. and in fact, you'll see prices. you know, the arizona deserts will peak january, february, march. we'll see prices drop 50% or more as you head toward the summer season. i do love the arizona biltmore. this is a

waldorf astoria hotel there in phoenix on the conde nast gold list for 2020, for one of the best hotels in the world. not too bad rates starting there at about 249 over the summer season puts you on these beautiful 39 acres there. now, flights to phoenix very competitive under 150 round trip from the bay area. so flights for two three nights at the arizona biltmore right at about a thousand bucks. i did the math for you, and that taps about a third of your tax refund. >> puerto rico, if you can go quickly, 50% of your budget. yeah. >> so this is puerto rico, no password required. we're still under that 50% mark as far as how many americans own a passport. so hey, you want to go to the caribbean and don't have the passport? this is the place for you. this is the wyndham palmas in puerto rico. they're about 45 minutes from the airport on a beautiful private gated community. right on the water. three nights, 599 and flights about 450. round trip out of the bay area. so again, two flight for two three nights on the ground in puerto rico, about 1500 bucks. half finally refund. >> it's the oprah tour. we want

to go down to what? montecito area? >> yeah, but listen, i love this property because it is one of the very few triple forbes five star hotels in the world. there are only 14 of them. and the rosewood miramar beach there in montecito, where a lot of just, you know, first name celebrities oprah, ellen, harry, meghan live in this beautiful beach enclave. and this is, of course, that beautiful resort of record right on the water. now rates started about $16.99 a night. so here's the here's the beauty. here's the beauty. they're part of santa barbara's third night free promotion. meaning you stay two nights. the third night is free. you don't want to say less than three nights there, which means that if you blow your refund, you can do three nights at the beautiful rosewood miramar beach again. forbes five star for the hotel, for the spa and the dining at caruso's, which i did last week and is absolutely delicious. fantastic. >> and you can road trip there. >> you could drive or fly into little santa barbara airport. >> you're 50 minutes away and maybe in 15 seconds. staycation advantages. >> first of all, you're supporting the local industry and some of our great business owners here in town. and let's

face it, people from all over the world are eyeing the bay area. some of our surrounding communities here, so why not take advantage of it ourselves since we're just hop, skip and a jump away? >> yeah, if you don't get a refund like some. yeah, you might want to just hang at home. >> i'm gonna come visit you. you can. we'll barbecue some fancy. >> i'll be hobnobbing in sonoma. okay i'll see you. there was a pleasure, gabe. all right, buddy, we appreciate it. all right. and here are the results from our poll so far that we mentioned earlier this hour. this morning, we're asking, are you planning on traveling this summer? and 45. absolutely. i'm splurging. i'm going to spend it all. no, it's too expensive. 33% there in about 22. say you know what? i'm okay. i'm going to stay right where i am. you can still vote. by the way, you can scan the qr code, go to ktvu .com/ vote. we'll have more numbers coming up later in the show. coming up next here on mornings on two. the nine. disneyland's future is taking a significant turn. the overnight approval that's paving the way for a new park, shops and restaurants on that southern california property.

>> the lot of it is like a roller coaster. >> everything is just more extreme school, friends, drama. >> it's just a lot. >> and it's the complex world of adolescent neurology. and one film executive produced by goldie hawn, aiming to bridge the gap between teens and adults. we're talking live with the director of the teen brain to explore how teenagers are emotionally brilliant super learners undergoing rapid brain development, all the while, stay right there

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. a moment where we feel like we level up in consciousness. >> this is a portion of an eye opening new short film. it explores the fascinating world of adolescent neurology. the teen brain, directed by emmy nominated director tiffany slayne and executive produced by actress goldie hawn and her mental health focused nonprofit mind up, the ten minute film delves into how teenagers are emotionally brilliant super learners undergoing rapid brain development, featuring insights from both experts and teens, as

you saw there in that video. so we're joined now by the director of that film. thank you so much for joining us, tiffany. i'm so happy to be here. all right. so tiffany, let's start with the issue that led to perhaps the creation of this documentary. what is the complaint from teenagers here? >> they want to be heard. they want parents to remember and educators to remember what it was like to be a teen. and, you know, i've made a lot of films on neuroscience, and i had always wanted to tackle the teen years. and goldie hawn had seen my other films on the brain and approached me. and i have a teen myself right now, bluma and i was like, i definitely want to make this film and help reframe the understanding and conversation around being a teen today. >> so. so what is it here? are adults just viewing teenagers as just kind of a mess? you know, in life they have these emotional ups and downs. i mean, you know, i was kind of a mess at that age. and i wonder if adults are like, you need to get it together and be more adult, you know, is that what parents are telling these teens? and the

teens are going through their own type of situation with and it turns out there's a neurological component to this as well? >> yeah, i mean, i i'm glad that you were honest. i mean, i it was hard being a teen. it was like exciting and difficult and you're trying all these new things. but the exciting part is we know more neuroscience today than we ever have in human history. so what i have learned and what we're sharing in this film, i wish i knew when i was a teen because it it helps you understand how all of the big feelings you're having, why you want to take risks, you're learning. and then in the film, we explain the neuroscience. and we interviewed a lot of teens, as well as all the top neuroscientists and doctors and psychologists. but we also give teens tools on how to navigate all of the changes that are happening in their brain. and that's what's really exciting. so it's both hearing from teens, hearing from the experts, and then giving actual strategies and tools on how to best navigate the world, which is also a different world than we grew up with. i mean, there faced with more information than

ever before, ever before. and i also go into that in the film. so i'm really excited to teach teens, ways to both understand their brains and things to do to kind of calm their amygdala, which is the part of the brain that is like fight or flight and bring on the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows your prefrontal cortex and your best thinking to happen. >> i think i heard this before here. parents, they don't really tell babies and toddlers that you need to not be babies and toddlers and be adults. so but it's similar to what's happening when a parent is talking to their teenager. you need to be more adult. but based on the information i saw in parts of this film here, it's you can't just tell them this. it's a whole other way to approach your teenager. >> yes, one of the books that we use, ellen galinsky, has a new book called the breakthrough years, and she makes this great comment that, like, we they look like adults, but they're not adults. they're in between. they're in between being

children and adults. and it's that's what the kind of awkward part is. it's this in-between phase. but, you know, if you understand that more and when they make mistakes and when they try new things and you just think of them more as like reframing it as it's this very exciting time of growth in the brain right now. actually, the most exciting time of growth. and how can you best support your teen and know that they're big emotions? it's all you know. their amygdala is so much larger during the teenage years, years because of all the hormones. so once i understood that, i think i you have more patience and you kind of remember what it was like to be a teen yourself. so i hope this film helps so many teens and all the adults that support them. so parents, educators, everybody's got a teen in their life and the teens really don't know. >> i suppose just going back to my experience, you don't really know what's what's happening. you just know that you're being told that your body is changing and you're going through these things, but you don't really know why that's happening. there's no tool to tell you,

okay, this is supposed to happen. this supposed to happen. this is supposed to happen. now, i want to ask you this. parents and adults are supposed to provide the structure. for their teens to carry into adulthood. but. but how does that balance with allowing the teen independence at the same time? >> that's a great question. i think it is that balance. you know, you want your your teen to try new things and you want to be there for them. and you also want them to make mistakes because one of the teens, one of my favorite lines in the film is he's like, if you tell me the oven is hot, i'm going to still have to touch it because i have to learn. so and, you know, i should tell all your viewers that we have amazing discussion questions on our site. you can sign up on our site. i know they're going to link to it. and then we have discussion questions that you can talk to your teen about this film by age, because we all know that a teen at like 13 is so different than a teen at 16, so different than a teen at 19. and we have a different set of questions and great resources from mind up and all these organizations, on our website that can help. >> i did find another, message in the film. pretty interesting

here. it says when you promote adolescence at a time when they're broken, when you when you keep attacking them, when they make these mistakes, going through this time, they may grow up to think that they're broken or may think that they're broken. and it's not necessarily the broken. they're going through the change and it's affecting neurologically how they're acting and how they're thinking. >> and that is absolutely one of the biggest framings of the film is, is that we are reframing it. it's not a horrible thing you have to get through as a teen and a parent and a parent. but it is an exciting time of human development. and if you look at it that teens are super learners, they're learning how to be brave. they're growing, they're trying things, they're making mistakes, and they can learn more in this period than ever in their life. like then it frames it as something that is exciting and instead of something that's scary because if you think it's this scary time, it probably will be. and if you're a parent that thinks this is an exciting time and if you're a teen that looks at it that way, it's going to make it better. and we all know whatever we can do to make the teen years better and to help teens and parents really know more about the neuroscience of what's

happening in their brain so everyone can flourish more. >> that's what this film is trying to show here. you don't have to approach your teenager out of fear when they're trying different behaviors. this is what teens do to understand the world. >> yeah, and of course you want them to be want them to be safe. and you're also teaching them that. so that's the balance. i mean that's the hard part is letting go of that bicycle seat on a whole bunch of different levels throughout your teen years, yeah. >> how interesting. i'm surprised we, you know, we haven't seen more of something like this before. so tiffany, this is very exciting. you're the executive producer of the teen brain. >> i'm a i'm actually the director. >> director of the teen vihan is the executive producer right now. well you got great partnership there, and it's a great, great story. hopefully more people get a chance to see this and maybe it will improve the thinking of interacting with with teenagers going forward. so i appreciate it i hope so. >> all right. so thank you so much. >> you're welcome. you're welcome tiffany and if you'd like to watch the ten minute documentary the teen brain, we've added a link to it on our website. just head to ktvu.com and click on the web link

airline flights grounded this morning. the airline said it was having issues with its system that calculates weights for the plane around seven. after installing an update, and because of that problem, it then asked the faa to ground all their flights. the pause lasted for about an hour and a half, and flights went back into the air around 830 this morning, an sfo spokesperson tells us it impacted flights outside of alaska airlines as well. >> really, the only impact outside of the alaska airlines flight were that we had to accommodate a few flights on

other airlines at a different gate, because those gates that would have normally been vacant were occupied with alaska flights waiting for the clearance to push back. >> by the way, if you are flying alaska today, do expect some residual delays. some ski resorts around lake tahoe are preparing to close this weekend. >> sierra tahoe season will end on sunday, along with heavenly diamond peak. other resorts including kirkwood sugar bowl montrose will close for the season sunday, april 28th. there are a few resorts, including palisades tahoe, that will stay open until late may. >> disneyland is one step closer to major renovations. the city council of anaheim unanimously approved a proposal for $1.9 billion expansion plan for disney. this proposal includes constructing a new park, shops and restaurants on the western side of the disney property starting as soon as this summer. but some anaheim residents are strongly opposed to this plan. the disneyland forward project would be the first major addition to the theme park adventure theme park. it opened

in 2001. the proposal still needs to pass a second city council vote next month. >> all right. i guess a trip to disney could be considered a splurge for some people, as we're asking you about your summer travel, we've asked, are you planning to travel at all? and we see 45% of you, the biggest group, say, yep, and i'm splurging. 38% say no, it's too expensive, 17% say you'll do a staycation. the thing i always say to my family every time we go to like marin, san francisco, santa cruz, i say, guess what? people save their whole lives to come here for a week. we get to go here by just jumping in the car. so to me you hit the nail on the head. it's staycation. i mean, there are worse places to be. >> yeah, and, well, even outside of the bay area, like just south. >> a few hours here. >> sure. yeah. there's a lot, a lot of things to do here. yeah. >> for sure. >> tahoe is what, a three hour drive? carmel a couple hours. yeah. not all that bad hanging around northern california. >> not at all cheap. yes, it's a pismo beach. everything. >> i love pismo. >> yeah. you know, there's tons of. yeah, we can, we can we can
