lining the central bay and into the seashore. 63 to 85 60s and 70s around the bay. full forecast is coming up in just a matter of minutes, but boy oh boy has he been way too busy this morning. here's sal castaneda in the house. >> all right, roberta, thank you very much. we do have some slow traffic now. westbound 580 reported right near highway 24. i guess there was a car that was reported on fire. the fire is out, but there's some slow traffic coming in from the lakeshore curve. just when you get onto the freeway, let me get rid of these icons. they're kind of getting in the way. when you get on the freeway, you're going to see some slow traffic. it's before highway 24 right about there, and that's why traffic is going to be slow. i would still say 580 for the most part is a decent freeway. traffic wise. this morning the bay bridge is backed up to the maze metering lights are on. that's a normal commute. and then the san mateo bridge looks okay, northbound

101 at cochrane road in morgan hill. there is a crash. so if you're coming in from gilroy or san martin, add extra time. 702 let's get back to the headlines and new this morning, a first for de la salle high school in concord. >> the football powerhouse will head overseas for a midseason game. ktvu james torres is live now to explain how this once in a lifetime opportunity all came together. james garcia there are a number of active nfl players right now who have never played a game overseas. >> let alone in england. it's something the nfl has been pushing for over the last few years, and that's why you see more games scheduled in europe and for the first time this year in brazil. but that hardly ever happens at the high school level. and de la salle was one of the first schools that came to mind when this idea came about. yeah, this was the moment the team found out about the opportunity. they were shown a skit style video and you may notice that cheering seemed a

little slow. that reaction wasn't almost immediate. the head coach tells us that's because some of those students were just in disbelief. they didn't really immediately recognize what was going on. but once the message was clear, the excitement kicked in. >> getting to see a team that's kind of interesting because a bunch of guys from a different country, but also, you know, going to other countries is pretty insane. so that'll be cool. it'll be a great experience to go and spend a week with all my teammates and stuff. so we're really excited. >> so who will they play? will they take on a team from the nfl academy in london at the tottenham hotspur stadium? that academy recruits the best football talent american football from all over europe. and here's probably the best part these students don't have to pay for a thing. no fundraisers, no financial stress on how the trip is going to happen. that's all because nike is covering all of it. they say it's just a push that they want to do to make sure they can get kids to be at their best potential at the game. this

matchup is set to happen in london on october 8th. we're live this morning from de la salle high school. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news. >> james thank you. later today, several demonstrators will move from the uc berkeley campus to uc merced. that's where uc regents are meeting over the next two days. protesters took down their encampment at uc berkeley after the school chancellor agreed to a comprehensive examination of university investments and a socially responsible investment strategy. under the agreement, the uc berkeley foundation will review all investments and hear community concerns about companies that may be linked to weapons manufacturing, mass incarceration and surveillance industries. the foundation did not commit to making any changes to investments. >> a lot of this is bigger than uc berkeley, uc berkeley is a small component, a small a small gear. and, you know, you know, where the power is really situated in the state of california, the uc regents, the

state of california, and the nation as a whole. >> protesters planned a big rally today at uc merced, where they're demanding the entire uc system divest from companies that support israel. >> now. 705 for the time being, the university of san francisco does not plan to take down the encampment on its campus, but protesters are warned they could be suspended or expelled for violating the code for student conduct. united will never be defeated now. the protesters ignored a deadline of 3 p.m. to leave the campus and they staged a rally. they set up tents two weeks ago and demanded that usf, a private institution, divest from companies linked to israel, along with supporting palestinians on the campus or in gaza. >> we've had folks whose, friends lost 30 over 30 people from their family entire, like, bloodlines lost. so all of this really, like, amplifies the need

for us to be a voice for the people who don't have a voice. >> a university officials told the protesters they're willing to call for a cease fire in gaza and also give the student protesters 1 or 2 seats on an investment task force. the university also said it would research changing the curriculum, like adding palestine studies. >> new this morning, president biden posted a video on x challenging former president donald trump to a debate. >> donald trump lost two debates to me in 2020. since then, he hasn't shown up for debate. now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. will make my day, pal. i'll even do it twice. so let's pick the dates. donald i hear you're free on wednesday's president biden's campaign says it wants the first debate to take place in june. >> a second debate in september before early voting begins. former president trump already responded, appearing to agree to the proposed debate schedule. we're learning today that south dakota governor kristi noem is

scheduled to speak saturday at the california republican party's convention in burlingame. this, according to the la times. noem was recently in the headlines for her book, in which she recounts how she shot her dog because it was untrainable as a hunting dog. 707 here, people in the santa cruz mountains are voicing their concerns about being left without homeowner's insurance. after several major companies decided to drop coverage in california last night, they met in a packed auditorium. they confronted members of cal fire as well as local officials and the state's department of insurance. their question is what they should do if they're dropped by their insurance company. >> my insurance has been canceled. it will be canceled in august, and i've been told i can only go on to the cal fare plan and then get supplemental and given what i've heard, i expect that insurance to probably triple get out there and start shopping for coverage. you really have to search the entire market, but that means contacting multiple agents

before you give up and settle for a fare plan. >> an independent insurance agent says the price of insuring a home could be two and a half to three and a half times more expensive than just five years ago. some homeowners in the area say they're trying to sell because they can't afford the rising costs. >> our time now. 708 will new this morning, the oakland ballers baseball team want to buy the unused seats of the oakland coliseum to install the new baseball field being built at raymond park. the ballers formally asked the coliseum joint powers authority for the right to buy about 5000 bleacher seats. those seats were used when the raiders played at the oakland coliseum. they've been sitting there unused in the parking lot of the stadium since the raiders moved to las vegas. now, if that purchase is approved, the ballers would install them for the 2025 season as part of an expansion to the facility they're building in west oakland. >> the oakland unified school district is teaming up with the student transport company zoom

to make its school busses greener, launching the first major all electric vehicle bus fleet in the country. it will consist of 74 electric busses with each carrying a battery pack that's 4 to 6 times larger than that of a standard ev vehicle. each bus will have its own fast charging station, so that means when busses aren't on the road, the fleet can generate enough electricity to send it back to the grid to power 300 houses every year. the new fleet of busses is expected to be available at the start of the next school year. >> time is 710 and we do have slow traffic all over the east bay. let's start immediately with 80 and 580 coming up to the maze at 24 as well. 580 right near 24. there is a lane blockage blocking two lanes from a car that has broken down. was previously on fire. also, 80 is slow as you drive out toward the area, you can see that traffic on 80 is moderately heavy and when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see the traffic is backed up to the maze. morgan hill area northbound 101 at cochran road.

there's a crash. it's been there for a while, so if you're driving from gilroy to san jose, you should pay attention to that. the rest of the san jose commute looks all right. 710. let's go back to the desk. okay, sal. >> well, plenty of people here in the bay area are coming home from working an overnight shift instead of getting ready to go to work right now, we'll tell you about a new study about wood working that overnight shift does to your health. plus this is a big necessity for everybody in the coast. >> we don't have too much housing. so that's why we are here. >> the new housing project for farmworkers has just been approved in half moon bay. the latest on a proposal it's time to get away and cache in, at cache creek casino resort, to rock and to roll. to go all out or... go all in.

churches, boys and girls club down here. it's just not the right space for that. >> everybody has a car. this is a car dependent community and they're going to have to drive around looking for a parking. >> last year's mass shooting at two farms in half moon bay exposed the poor living conditions of farm workers. city leaders said they would build new housing for farm workers. supporters of the project say they have been met with a series of delays. last week, governor newsom urged the city to move forward with the project. >> well, there's always reasons not to build something somewhere. people will always find that reason, but we really have to look at who we're building this for. the most vulnerable are senior farm workers that have dedicated their lives and their physical health to us. >> we have an obligation to put the city on the best legal footing and make sure that we follow the law, as the governor has asked us. >> well, the planning commission approved the project with a vote of 4 to 1. however, the

commission is recommending a reduction in the building height. >> gasia andre. thank you. the monterey bay aquarium is opening its doors to people who would otherwise likely not be able to visit. starting may 27th, the aquarium will provide free admission to anyone enrolled in snap benefits. they only have to bring their ebt card, and they can also bring up to four other people for free. the free admission is part of the national museums for all program. nearly 150 museums here in california participate more than a dozen are in the bay area, including the de young museum, the cal academy, chabot space and science center, oakland zoo, and more. >> our time is now 716. while health experts are talking now about how working overnight can affect your health in a bad way, evidence from a new study shows the brain never really adjusts to waking up during those hours, researchers say. overnight shifts can throw off our internal rhythms and put stress on the body. many professionals who work during the middle of the night like nurses, doctors, police officers, even people on

tv feel the effects of working overnight. >> they do complain when they work the nighttime shift. it does take a toll on them. >> that tug of war actually has consequences for the way we metabolize our food, for the way we process our glucose and respond to that glucose with with insulin. and we believe that that has long term consequences for health. >> now, researchers found that those overnight shifts increase the risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease. and after working just three days of overnight shifts, the proteins that regulate your blood glucose are disrupted. >> it's important to know, do we know about that? we do know we're living it. we're feeling it. there are many benefits, however, to having a very early work day. south fascinated knows about that, don't you? >> i do, yes, ma'am. yeah, i still like the morning shift. i'll try and mitigate the other factors there. dave and garcia, let's go out and take a look at the commute and get out to the macarthur maze. we have some

slow traffic there coming in through. i also want to mention that if you get to san francisco, the traffic is moderately heavy. we had an earlier stall near treasure island, but that's gone westbound 580 if you're leaving the lake shore area getting to the 24 interchange, there's a momentary slowdown for a crash there. clearing eastbound 24 slowed through orinda. part of that has the repaving work going on through there. contra costa county traffic is slow. if you're on interstate 80. it slows from el sobrante all the way down to berkeley, and then it gets better. 718 let's talk about today's weather. here's roberta. >> sal, don't you find by working the oh, dark hundred hours, you get a lot more done in your day? >> yes, yes, i'm out of work when most people are still working, so i don't encounter a lines at the bank. for example. exactly. if i went to the bank, i do everything online. but you know what i mean. >> if you have money in the bank to go to the bank, that's the whole deal, right? hi everybody. good morning to you. temperature

span today from 63 degrees at the seashore. 285 degrees away from the bay of water into our inland area. in fact, it's going to be pittsburg and antioch. that will check in as a warm spot. check this out. it is a blanket of low clouds. it's the marine layer and it's hugging monument peak in the santa clara valley, where visibility there is eight miles but half moon bay is socked in with a mile and a quarter visibility look at santa rosa for your morning commute. only one mile visibility seven miles now in throughout the tri-valley, it is back to the may gray, but it will pan out to be a tad warmer today in comparison to yesterday. and then tomorrow is going to be just maybe a degree or two cooler. and the weekend, well, i'll show you which day will be the coolest of the weekend. that's still coming up, but right now let's focus on our temperatures. it's 53 in walnut creek and in alamo, as well as blackhawk. otherwise low and mid 50s comet around the peninsula. a pair of fives and fremont. and

in san jose the winds have been breezy in fairfield and the delta. otherwise under ten miles per hour will be west and west southwest. later today to 15. an occasional stronger gusts along the sea shore and peninsula. otherwise you could blame it on the oak tree and the mulberry tree that continues to blossom. and bethel island, it happens to be the walnut trees. all right. we have that gray slate because of that. it's a trough to the north of us. it's enhancing that marine layer. the trough to the south of us. well, that's encouraging that marine layer to deepen in southern california, we're talking about anywhere from santa barbara all the way to san diego. for us, it's hot in sacramento, stockton and modesto all in the low 90s. but in comparison, along the seashore, average high in los angeles is 70 today. checking in pretty close to spot on at 6963 pacifica moss beach and montara beach. low 70s across the bay oakland, alameda, el cerrito all the way to piedmont and

emeryville. mid 70s and mountain view. here's your extended forecast and you'll clearly note sunday will be cooler than saturday. gasia dave. thank you roberta. >> coming up, it's a big day for the 40 niners today. the team gets its first look at the full nfl season, when we should see a super bowl rematch and whether the niners will head overseas this year. >> also, you'll meet an incredible young man. here he is. he's been accepted into 120 colleges. we talked to this bay area high school student about his remarkable aca

of children playing with play guns that look like the real thing in schools and public parks. officers say when it's hard to tell if a child is holding a real weapon, it increases the risk of someone getting hurt. in many cases, the children are playing with water guns or b-b guns. some are brightly colored and obviously toys, but sometimes they're painted black and much more difficult to identify. why? >> i would hate to see a situation arise where somebody mistook it for a real gun, and it could be an officer or somebody with a concealed carry permit that felt they needed to defend themselves. >> it's really concerning, and i don't think i would want to be in the park with somebody with a bb gun. >> officers say that people seen using or discharging fake firearms could face penalties. >> all right. our time is up in 24 today, people in santa rosa

can climb aboard a new electric trolley that takes you from railroad square to courthouse square. and it's free. it runs between wednesday and sunday at a variety of times. for now, this trolley is part of a pilot program. it will continue through september 29th. the city is looking at ways to make travel easier for people in the downtown area. the first ride today is at 5 p.m. as well. oakland high school student is very special. he's getting ready to graduate after being accepted to 120 colleges and universities, the high school senior came to the united states from his homeland of uganda just five years ago, told ktvu. >> navigating the cultural differences between those two countries has been a real challenge. he's 18 years old, enjoys singing, plans to major in music and minor in global studies at cal next year. his dad graduated from uc berkeley, but he says he didn't influence his son's decision. >> i gave him encouragement to follow his dreams, not not go to

berkeley specifically. i feel very lucky that, i was well prepared and i had wonderful guidance counselors and parents that were supportive of this whole process, he set to graduate from head-royce. >> it's a private school in oakland next month. this young man has a 3.94 gpa. >> look at him. all right. time now. 725 latinos showing their growing political power. we'll look at how this voting group could affect the november election here in california and beyond. >> on major infrastructure projects getting underway in san francisco. the effort to update and replace the city's aging ter d

the alameda county district attorney will tell you when voters will decide her fate and how she is responding. and early this morning, hundreds of teachers, parents and students climbed on the busses heading to the state capitol. we'll tell you what they're doing there from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you. thank you for joining us.

welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it's wednesday may 15th chilly now. but roberta, if we fast forward to the afternoon hours, it's so pleasant, isn't it? >> it will be pleasant in our inland areas. i was just looking at that video where the parents were jumping on the bus. they head to the state capitol. right. one woman had shorts on because it's going to be 91 degrees there. wow. yeah right. what a difference. and we have our microclimates coming into play here. all because of this right now right there it is the bank the beautiful blanket of low clouds that is parked up against monument peak in the santa clara valley, keeping the temperature capped at 56 degrees there, but visibility is at eight miles, otherwise seven mile visibility at livermore airport, we now have visibility down to one mile in santa rosa. otherwise our temperatures are in the 50s. we will have clearing back to the coast at 63 degrees seven days. comment around the central bay and we'll top off at a very nice. i was going to say summery even though

it's spring but summery. 85 in antioch. the five day forecast minutes away. but right now sal castaneda, it started off big and busy. how's it going now? >> it's a little bit slow still, and many of the east bay commutes are the slowest right now. westbound four and 680 are slow in contra costa county, 80 westbound is slow. some of the icons on those crashes have been moved to the shoulder. southbound 101 in novato. slow from roland all the way down to central san rafael. and then we see the typical bay bridge commute, which is backed up to the manzanita. lights are on westbound 580. at 24. they're clearing a crash there. 731 let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, voters in alameda county will now decide whether to recall and remove district attorney pamela price from office during the november general election on the board of supervisors last night set the recall date for november 5th. ktvu is ali rasmussen in our studio now to explain why they picked that date. good morning ali. good morning dave.

>> well, it came down to cost and convenience. the alameda county registrar of voters, tim dupuy, told supervisors that it would cost anywhere from 15 to $20 million to hold a special recall election this summer. he also said staging a standalone recall election in august or september would create other logistical problems. >> around a 1500 to 1700 election workers, potentially, which would have to be recruited to support the vote centers. so essentially we'd be, it's a it's a big effort, but if the county combined the recall with the general election in november, it would only cost $4 million in the registrar of voters would already have plenty of election workers, staff and equipment already in place. >> the alameda county board of supervisors approved that november fifth election date. at its meeting last night. it came after two hours of public comment for and against the recall of district attorney pamela price. more than 100 people signed up to speak. >> da price should not face

voters again until she nears the end of her first term. this is what voters expect when we elect our representatives. recall should be a last resort. >> there are so many businesses that are closing down because they are. the da is not prosecuting these criminals in april, the alameda county registrar of voters certified that recall supporters had gathered enough signatures to qualify for a recall election. >> state law says once that happens, the county has to set a date for the election within a specific time frame. a maximum of no more than 180 days. may 14th was the deadline to do that, and the board had no choice but to set a date for the recall at its meeting last night. supporters of da price, like the idea of this recall election being held during the general election in november. it is, of course, a presidential election. so those types of elections tend to have higher voter turnout prices. supporters believe that will work in her favor. price is expected to speak publicly about the recall

against her later this morning. garcia and dave, back to you, ali. >> thank you. a new survey examines the effect latino voters could have on the presidential election. both president biden and republican challenger, former president donald trump, are aggressively campaigning for the latino vote. a combined 10 million latinos in california, along with the battleground states of nevada and arizona, are eligible to cast ballots in november, the san francisco based latino community foundation released a tri state poll. it shows, among latino voters, president biden is leading in all three states by between 15 and 20. >> the early 1990s, former republican governor of california pete wilson, tried to pass this anti-immigrant initiative called proposition 187 that sought to, exclude undocumented immigrants from social services like health care and education. and ever since that moment, in california history, there's been a huge wave of latinos, not only

registering to vote, but turning out to vote. >> the survey finds top issues among latinos mirror that of the general public the high cost of living, jobs, economy and abortion rights for all voters. researchers note. the growing use of artificial intelligence, as well as misinformation being spread on social media and in political campaigns. >> this is actually a really important moment for voters to understand and pick apart what is actually good and reliable information in the foundation just invested $800,000 in 19 organizations to help inform the latino community and mobilize the latino vote through things like phone banks and going door to door to increase voter engagement. >> our time now is 735 new this morning, an annual education trip from the south bay to the state capitol. it's the 21st year of this special event. more than 200 students, parents, teachers elected leaders and other community members boarded busses at san jose state. they're heading to sacramento to meet with state lawmakers and talk about education policy and

funding for schools. >> this is an opportunity they can be a part of. and, you know, just strive for the stars, really, and just learning a lot of them are also really interested in policy and law, and they want to be lawyers or, you know, so being able to take part in this is, it's great. >> and some of the people going on this morning's trip are from local school districts and school boards. their priority is to meet with lawmakers and urge them to preserve education funding. >> in santa clara county, a new proposal would ban homeless encampments near creeks, the santa clara valley water district is holding a special meeting on friday to discuss an ordinance that would make it illegal to camp near waterways owned or maintained by the district. valley water says the growing number of encampments threatens the environment and workers. those caught violating the ordinance could face fines of up to $500 and 30 days in jail. >> your time now 736 san francisco's aging water and sewage system is getting an upgrade. since 2005, the city's

public utilities commission has been working on a $4.8 billion improvement project. so far, three reservoirs have been completed, two others will soon be completed, and repairs to another one begins later this year. the goal is to secure and protect the city's water supply in an emergency, like an earthquake. what we're doing is focusing on the most critical pipelines that bring water to the critical facilities we have used artificial intelligence technology to look at the likelihood of failure of our pipelines. the city says it has enough storage to provide water to everybody in san francisco for a week. in case of an emergency happening today, the nfl releases the schedules of each team. >> the official announcements at 5:00 this evening, but some games have already been announced. the niners will host the new york jets on monday night football in week one. we know now this morning the niners will not play in any of the international games this season. what's likely the most

anticipated game for the niners this season comes in week seven. that's when the niners host the kansas city chiefs in a rematch of the super bowl. that game is set for october 20th. 1:25 p.m. new fox analyst by the way, tom brady will call the game and we'll see that here on ktvu. >> a lot of people will be watching for many reasons. hey, sal, i know you're ready for football, but you're also watching our morning commute. >> and that's right, both, on both counts there, dave, let's go out and see highway four, shall we? highway four is slow. it's improved a little bit. it was backed up all the way out to antioch. now it's just baypoint and pittsburgh into concord. and then we also see just a bunch of slow traffic on 680 now between concord and walnut creek, eastbound 24. we had some paving work going on. and eastbound 24 is a mess just outside of the tunnel. this is an unwelcome surprise for you, because this is not normally an area where we have slow traffic. usually you can drive to walnut creek at

this time, reverse commute and not expect any, and that is just not very good at all. if you're driving on eastbound 24. heads up. 738 let's talk about traffic or let's talk about weather with roberta. >> i want to talk about traffic because everywhere i went yesterday, there was traffic. in fact, i didn't even get my amazon delivery. wow. i think they were stuck. >> yes, i bet you. >> yeah. and i needed those milk bones for my dog. all right. okay. morning everybody. rise and shine. let's take a look at where we should be for the month of may. we typically this time of the year in santa rosa should have a high right around 74 degrees, but we will be well above that today. in fact, all of our temperatures will be at least slightly to well above normal, and our rainfall amount. i am so happy to see this because in san jose we are 131% of where we typically are for the month of may. yay! this morning no precipitation except for a little bit of condensation in the form of drizzle

associated with this very deep marine layer. it's roughly between about 500 and about 1100 1200 feet deep. it's backing up against the south bay, the monument peak area, visibility there at eight miles, but it is obscuring visibility in santa rosa at one mile, one and three quarters of a mile in half moon bay and seven mile visibility. now in throughout the tri-valley, this is the scene here, right here, right now where we have that marine layer. it's penetrating the bay. it is marched inland at least a good 55 miles. it will back off by two 3:00 in the afternoon. but hug the entire coastline. that's why we're going to keep the temperatures there into to the low 60s. then tonight we see the surge of that marine layer push back onshore in the overnight hours and it's going to extend all the way into the sacramento valley so that will drop our temperatures just by a degree or two for your thursday. until then, we're in the 50s across the board. the winds are under ten miles per hour for the most

familiar. kidding. of course, that's incredible. rocky, what kind of interview? >> that is a computer. yeah, that was openai's latest chat. gpt version 4.0, and it sounds eerily close to a friend or partner. when you join us at nine, we're live with a local engineering professor. looking closer at what this could do for the futu

85% to 100. there are currently few evs from china in the u.s, but officials worry low priced models made possible by chinese government subsidies could soon start flooding this country. one chinese ev, the seagull, sells for about $12,000 in china, and it's comparable with u.s. models that cost three times as much. >> so when you put that in perspective, it's just like, oh my gosh, this is really staggering. and i think it's a clarion call to the industry. see, it says this is the benchmark. this is what we have to look at. >> analysts say that us automakers need to study ev, such as the seagull, to come up with lower priced electric vehicles that they want to compete in the global market. >> all right. our time is 745. this morning's report on inflation came in a little better than expected. and that is taking the markets up today. also netflix just tackled a big

deal with the nfl pam cook a big deal herself joins us back in studio with more in dollars and cents. >> thank you. >> very nice introduction. well netflix just announced a three season deal with the nfl to be the global home of the two christmas day games. and in 2025 and 2026, netflix will stream at least one holiday game. san francisco based pinterest rang the opening bell this morning to celebrate five five years since going public. and as that bell rang, investors reacted to this morning's report on inflation. the consumer price index shows prices increased slightly in april, but not by as much as analysts thought, and boy, that took the markets up. the s&p 500 and the nasdaq are now at all time highs. trading up, checking in on the latest percentage. you can see the dow jones live up about a half of a percent, 200 points there. the s&p 500 now at 5282 up more than a half of a percent. the nasdaq 16,006 34. it's up 123 points. a bipartisan

group of senators is urging congress to put billions into the safe development of ai to get ahead of our global rivals. now, the group recommends spending at least $32 billion over the next three years. senators say regulations and innovation are urgently needed as countries such as china are investing heavily into the technology. this comes as the senate plans to vote on three bills addressing ai and election interference later today. career counselors are watching closely the job path of generation z. those are people born between 1997 and 2012. many are now entering the workforce and wondering what they want in a career, employment analysts and lifestyle coaches say many within that generation do not want a regular 9 to 5 job. they're meeting obstacles in their life and early careers. >> i'm the oldest of gen z. i'm 26, about to turn 27, and right now we're really dealing with the impacts of the pandemic on our career trajectory. it's

going to take years, probably decades, for us to see all the ways that this has impacted how we relate to work and our opportunities. >> an employment report in february found that within a year of graduating from college, roughly half of the workers had jobs that did not make use of their degree. job analysts call that underemployed. trader joe's is celebrating the grand opening of another store in san francisco, though the location will be at a condo building on 555 fulton street in the hayes valley neighborhood. interior artwork inside the store will highlight and display several landmarks in the city. trader joe's says the doors will open this coming friday after more than a year delay. operating hours at the new location will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. i'm pam cook. that's a look at your dollars and cents. >> all right, pam, thank you. our time is 748. hate to do this at breakfast time, but trillions of cicadas are going to pop up in parts of the midwest in the southeast in the next few weeks. and while those insects will

create a lot of noise for some, to others it's a chance to search for and cook these loud bugs. the cicadas are called the noisy lobsters of the trees, their textures like a soft shell crab. they're known for a gentle crunch and a soft interior, and the taste is described as a mild, woody flavor. gasia okay, insects may not sound like the most appetizing meal to have, but for about 2 billion people all over the world, it's one of the oldest food sources. >> i don't think it's bravery. i think calling it brave takes away from what true bravery really is. i think what we are is curious now. >> this year's emergence of the cicadas also marks the first time in more than 200 years that two rare kinds of cicadas will appear at the same time. >> i mean, look, you wrap anything in bacon or deep fry it. i think most i mean, right, if we're looking at this video closely. right, i think most

people would try it. right. so i think so. >> i think you're right. gasia. okay. so i do have to mention that if you're driving to walnut creek, this is usually the non commute time for you. non commute. you're driving against the commute. what could go wrong. funny you ask. eastbound 24 there's some road work. they're heading out toward the orinda area and traffic is slow from the tunnel. so don't let that catch you by surprise. some of the other slowdowns you expect, like southbound 680 or westbound 80. we've had a couple of crashes, but it's not, you know, out of the ordinary to see those. but eastbound 24, that's going to catch you by surprise if you don't know it's there, give yourself time. westbound 80 backed up to the macarthur maze. metering lights are on and we look at 880 heading south. that traffic is slow from hayward into the fremont area. northbound 680. another reverse commute right here. northbound 680 at the south mission. there's a crash there blocking a couple of lanes. and again, that may catch you by surprise. usually don't have any slow

traffic at this hour of the morning on northbound 680 in that area. 750 let's bring roberta back in with today's weather. >> thank you. sal, what do you think about those cicadas wrapped in bacon? >> well, i mean, i'll never say no. i'll always try something, and then i'll say no. >> okay. all right, so give it a try and let me know. all right. we'll get back to you on that one. hi everybody. today's temperature is going to be anywhere from about 2 to 8 degrees above average for this time of the year. take a look at los gatos and san jose and saratoga all in the low 80s, when typically you should be right around 73 degrees. now this is how we're kickstarting your morning. isn't that beautiful? it's that black pocket of natural air conditioning just banked up against monument peak and the santa clara valley, where visibility is at eight miles. but it's a little problematic to the north. and santa rosa at one mile visibility. as you're heading on out the door for work or getting the kids off for school. meanwhile, we do have

visibility under two miles in half moon bay, gray star temperatures are in the 50s. there hasn't been much movement in these temperatures all morning. in fact, we're a little bit more mild than 24 hours ago. up to four degrees warmer at this hour. the winds have been up to 20 2124. in the fairfield area. we'll continue to blow throughout the day out of the west and southwest, 5 to 15mph throughout the bay area. occasionally a stronger gust, and it does usher the dander. the pollen around. we're talking about the oak and the mulberry trees, and even out in bethel island, it's a walnut tree count that remains on the high side. so we do have a lot of some clear skies out over the open waters and into mendocino county. but this trough to the north of us will continue to enhance our marine layer. so our future cast tracks the marine layer back to the coast by the afternoon hours. but then it hangs tight from the sunset district. all the way past montara beach into half moon bay. you see, overnight we begin to thicken up that marine layer.

it does surge inland all the way into the sacramento valley, which means our temperatures will come down just a notch for your thursday. until then, we're going up a degree or two in comparison to tuesday yesterday, mid 70s in vallejo, benicia and martinez and american canyon. how about rodeo as well? 75 in san mateo and your giants forecast. we've got a baseball game. it's the third one in the match up and it hasn't been going too well, has it? west southwest wind 60mph 60 degrees. make sure you dress in your favorite giants jacket. garcia. >> roberta. thank you. after more than a year in hospice care, we're getting an update on the health of former president jimmy carter by one of his grandsons. says the former president may be nearing the end of his life. and what the former president is said to be doing now. then, weeks after a landslide took out part of a cliff along highway one, the road is set to reopen in just a few days. what it took for caltrans crews to stabilize the clf

$100 million in federal funding to fix that road with union workers in oakland say the city of oakland failed to collect millions of dollars in tax revenue and it comes at a time when the city is facing a $360 million budget deficit. the city workers held a symbolic $34 million check during a news conference outside of city hall. the union members say collection of the tax money could prevent potential service cuts, including the closure of fire stations, along with improving 911 response times. they want the city held responsible. there is a problem in the way that the city is managing funds and resources. >> it's being mismanaged, it's being handled improperly, and it's being underreported. where is the oversight? >> where is the accountability now? >> the unions delivered a letter to mayor shang tao calling for action. we have reached out to the city of oakland to get a

comment, but so far haven't heard back. the mayor in the past has said the city can close its budget deficit without major cuts to services as well. a woman in pacifica made history. she completed a very, very difficult swim in open water. she's 55 year old amy gubser became the first person to swim west from the golden gate bridge to the farallon islands without wearing a wetsuit. it took her 17 hours to finish that almost 30 mile swim. she's a nurse who works at ucsf. she's been planning and training for that swim for five years. and of course, a big challenge was how cold the water is each mile, the temperature kept dropping and dropping and dropping, which i was prepared for. >> i wasn't prepared for the 43 degree water, but i was prepared for higher 40s. >> well, to make that swim official, miss gubser could not touch a boat during the swim,

but her team who followed her on a boat, was giving her hot chocolate and they poured warm water on her throughout her swim. our time now. 759, a middle school in gilroy is trying a new teaching model. it's supposed to increase the classroom engagement. it's known as the squads model. it allows the students to play the role of teachers. now, gilroy prep is one of a small number of schools around the country experimenting with this method. at the middle school, the students work in groups of three. each group teaches a lesson plan to their classmates with the help of teachers. >> the program leads to more engagement and more engagement leads to more learning. and we've seen that in the data. when it comes to better attendance and higher grades and higher test scores. >> and the teachers say this program is also raised, the overall student satisfaction in general. >> we're here until you know, we

get another meeting and we get clear defined answers on everything. >> protesters at one encampment at one bay area university are digging in just as those at another school are clearing out the very different approaches that usf and uc berkeley. >> then they say they have your back until stuff happens, and then now they're out the door. >> yeah, some homeowners say they're abandoned by the insurance company when they need them the most. and now they want the state to do something about it. and it's the first for a one bay area's high school, one of the top football teams. de la salle players set to hit the field this coming year in europe from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two. welcome to mornings on two at 8:00. as you look live at the oakland estuary right now, you can see the overcast skies for another day in a row. this has been happening since monday. it continues with the fog over the bay area. thank you so much for joining us. i'm andre senior. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it's may 15th. it's may gray

after all isn't it rivera yes it is. >> and then we will just transition and segue right into june gloom. yes we will. and that's what the bay area is so famous for. hi everybody. and it's is our natural air conditioning. and it is parked up against monument peak in the santa clara valley of 56 degrees. you know, these temperatures have barely moved since 4:00 this morning. we're all sitting into the 50s. it's more mild this morning than 24 hours ago. and today will pan out to be a couple of degrees warmer in most locations. 63 pacifica a hint of some sunshine , otherwise high 70s and napa mid 70s and redwood city. 80 morgan hill and 85 degrees are outside number. hey sal castaneda, next time around i am going to feature the pollen report because everybody i know is sneezing and wheezing in this newsroom, especially there. >> roberta i hear it all the time. thank you very much for that. let's go out and see what we have with the east bay commute. that's where i want to start, southbound 680 is very slow from concord to walnut

creek. we also had highway four slow eastbound 24, though this unusual slowdown from oakland near the caldecott all the way out to the orinda area because of some paving work. and that's now beginning to affect northbound 13 as well. that is an unusual backup. and if you, you know, you leave the house at a normal time to get out to walnut creek, you're not expecting that. and this morning it's there. just know it's there. bay bridge is normal this morning as to say a 15 to 20 minute delay. now at 802. let's go back to the desk. >> hartsdale new this morning, one of the bay area's most well known high school athletic programs is going international. de la salle high school will play a mid-season football game in london. ktvu james torres joins us live to explain how this once in a lifetime opportunity came together. good morning james andre. >> good morning to you. well, there are a number of nfl players active right now who have never played overseas. you start to see those games scheduled now in europe. and for the first time this year in

brazil, that hardly ever happens at the high school level. but when this idea came about, de la salle was one of the first schools that came to mind. that's the moment the team found out about the opportunity. they were shown a skit style video, and you may notice that cheering seemed a little bit of a slow reaction. that's because the head coach tells us some of those students were in disbelief and didn't immediately recognize what was going on. but once the message was clear, the excitement kicked in, kicked in. that includes the coaches will work, to the best of our ability, and we'll we'll try and be in, you know, great shape by the time we get there, adjust to the time change. >> you know, there's going to be a lot of there's going to be a lot of challenges that a company a trip like this. but yeah, like i said, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity that, you know, we're not going to pass up. no. >> so who will they play? they'll take on a team from the

nfl academy in london, at the tottenham hotspur stadium. that academy recruits the best football talent from all over europe. now, here's probably the best part. the students don't have to pay for a thing. no fundraising, no stress financially about how they're going to make it all work. and that's all because nike is covering the cost of everything. it's a midseason matchup. they'll head to london for october 8th. matt a kickoff on october 8th. we're live this morning from de la salle high school. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news. >> thank you james. later today, several demonstrators will move from the uc berkeley campus to uc merced, where uc regents are meeting in the next two days. protesters took down their encampment at berkeley after the school chancellor agreed to a comprehensive examination of university investments and a socially responsible investment strategy. under this agreement, the uc berkeley foundation will review all investments and hear community concerns about companies that may be linked to

weapons manufacturing, mass incarceration and surveillance industries. they did not commit to making any changes to investments. >> a lot of this is bigger than uc berkeley, uc berkeley is a small component, a small a small gear. and, you know, you know, where the power is really situated in the state of california, the uc regents, the state of california, and the nation as a whole find her child. >> protesters planned a big rally today at uc merced, where they're demanding the entire uc system divest from companies that support israel for the time being. >> the university of san francisco does not plan to take down the encampment on its campus, but protesters are warned that they could be suspended or expelled for violating the code of student conduct. united will never be the city. the protesters ignored a deadline of 3 p.m. to leave the campus and staged a rally. they set up tents two weeks ago and demanded that usf, a private institution, divest from companies linked to israel, along with supporting palestinians on campus or in

gaza. >> we've had folks whose friends lost 30 over 30 people from their family entire, like bloodlines lost. so all of this really, like, amplifies the need for us to be a voice for the people who don't have a voice. >> university officials tell the protesters that they are willing to call for a ceasefire in gaza, and also give the student protesters 1 or 2 seats on an investment task force. the university also said it would research changes in the curriculum, like adding palestine studies. >> new this morning, cnn says both president biden and former president donald trump have accepted an invitation to debate on june 27th. that's after earlier this morning, president biden posted a video on challenging the former president to a debate. >> donald trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then, he hasn't shown up for debate. now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. will make my day, pal. i'll even do it twice. so let's pick the dates. donald,

i hear you're free on wednesdays . >> the biden campaign has suggested a second debate in september before early voting begins. we're learning. this morning, south dakota governor kristi noem is scheduled to speak on saturday at the california republican party's convention in burlingame. this according to the la times. noem was recently in the headlines for a passage in her new book, in which she recounted shooting her dog after she found it untrainable as a hunting dog. >> california is offering drivers $400 gift cards to test out a new pilot program aimed at replacing the state gas tax. the gas tax helps fund highway and road repairs, but that revenue stream keeps dropping as more drivers choose evs over gas powered cars. the pilot program tests two alternatives here a flat per mile rate or rate based on your vehicle's fuel efficiency. the program will last from august to the end of the year. afterwards lawmakers will decide next steps. >> people in the santa cruz mountains are among the tens of thousands of californians whose homeowners insurance is being canceled, after several major insurers dropped coverage. in our state. last night, they

packed an auditorium where they had the chance to speak to officials from cal fire, local government and the state's department of insurance. many wanted to know what they should do if they've lost or are about to lose coverage. >> my insurance has been canceled. it will be canceled in august, and i've been told i can only go onto the cal fare plan and then get supplemental. and given what i've heard, i expect that insurance to probably triple get out there and start shopping for coverage. you really have to search the entire market. that means contacting multiple agents before you give up and settle for a fare plan. >> one independent insurance agent says the price of insuring a home could be two and a half to three, and a half times higher than what it was five years ago. some homeowners in the area say they're now looking to sell because they can't afford the rising costs. >> at 808. now new this morning, the oakland ballers want to buy the unused seats at the oakland coliseum to install at the new baseball field being built at

raimondi park. the ballers have formally asked the coliseum joint powers authority for the right to buy about 5000 bleacher seats. the seats were used when the raiders played at the oakland coliseum and have been sitting unused in the parking lot of the stadium since the team moved to las vegas. if the purchase is approved, the ballers would install them for the 2025 season as part of an expansion to the facility they're building in west oakland. >> san jose's raging waters is expected to open next month with a new name. signs are going up promoting the change to calabanga water park. renovations are underway. slides are being painted brighter colors. the park will now be operated by the private group california dreamin entertainment. it took over a water park in sacramento last year, also named raging waters, and switch that to kali bunga as well. >> time is 809 and we have a lot of slow traffic in the east bay, but i want to let you know of something unusual that we have, and that would be eastbound 24. some slowing heading out toward orinda from the caldecott tunnel and also beginning to affect northbound 13. it kind of looks like a bad morning or bad

afternoon commute, but it's in the morning. this is because of late running roadwork on eastbound 24, approaching the saint stephens area. watch for a lot of slow traffic there. westbound 24 is also slow in the area, but that's kind of normal for this time. for it to be slow . also, we look at the peninsula and right now traffic is okay, but one of the spots that always seems to have issues southbound 280 between, let's say, westborough and 380, there's some slow traffic. there was a crash there this morning. and if you're driving at the bay bridge that is backed up to the maze, metering lights are on. i can't go away without showing you the south bay commute. this commute is busy, although we don't have a lot of crashes to report, we do have some slowdowns getting up to the west valley. 810 let's go back to the desk. >> the united states is set to send more money and weapons to both israel and ukraine in a minute, we'll talk live with the bay area political science professor for a breakdown of the funding, what it took to get it passed, and what it will be used for. >> plus, this is a big necessity

for everybody in the coast. we don't have too much housing, so that's why we are here. a new housing project for farmworkers has been approved in half moon bay. >> the latest on a proposal that divided the community a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business. and now, we're introducing ultimate speed for business —our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds... at no additional cost. it's ultimate speed for ultimate business. don't miss out on our fastest speed plans yet!

switch to comcast business and get started for $49.99 a month. plus, ask how to get up to an $800 prepaid card. call today!

and 2 billion in arms to ukraine. the two funding and weapons packages are the latest foreign aid from the u.s. to those two countries amid their wars. let's learn more about what the funding means by turning to university of san francisco politics professor stephen zunes. thanks for being with us. >> good to be with you again. >> billion dollars in weapons to israel. let's start there. the biden administration has great concern over civilian casualties in gaza. how do you square this news with that ongoing concern? >> it is something of a contradiction, to be honest, because many of these the weapons, the mortars, the tanks, and there equipment have been used and attacking civilian areas, though they have not done as much damage as the 2,000 pound bombs and the certain kinds of aerial munitions that the president put a temporary suspension on a couple of weeks

ago. polls are showing a fairly sizable majority of americans are skeptical about, additional offensive military aid to israel in light of the ongoing violations of international humanitarian law. but the administration just recently apparently overruling some of the career state department people's recommendation, determined that there was not sufficient evidence of israel violate international legal norms to prohibit the continued transfer of offensive weapons under national security memorandum 20. >> i think it was last week we saw the president speak about the protests that are happening on a number of college campuses, including here in the bay area. what do you make of the president's handling of what's happening in israel from him personally, in a more public facing way? >> well, this is very surprising for him. he's had a long political career, and historically, he could be very,

very supportive of israel, even during when, despite some questionable policies, the particularly the right wing governments would have on occasion and not do much political harm. but there's been a real shift in american public opinion, especially among the younger people, and especially with the israel having its most hard line government, ever. and the ongoing war crimes that young people are seeing on their social media, every day. and so the we have had these major protests, 97% of them have been completely nonviolent, according to a recent, survey. and while there are a few extremists in the mix that rationalize for hamas and terrorism, the vast majority are very much in this old, you know, antiwar pro-human rights tradition that we've seen in regard to vietnam, south africa, iraq, other issues. and so he's obviously concerned about losing youth support because, you know, years where there's high young turnout among young voters. democrats win since they vote overwhelmingly

democratic. but when turnout is low, republicans usually win. yeah. >> well, we'll talk about republicans versus democrats in a moment here. first to ukraine, the secretary of state, antony blinken, announced a $2 billion arms package deal for ukraine. where does this put the biden administration in terms of its long, ongoing support for ukraine? >> well, the ukraine, arm shipments like the ones to israel have already been allocated by congress. this is a matter of, you know, the priority of sending them out and approving particular kinds of weaponry and this is much less controversial than the arms to israel, most americans see, ukraine as the victim of foreign aggression, a democracy fighting for its very right to survive in the face of the russian attack. and it is coming, none too soon because the russians have made some advances in recent weeks and months, in large part because the delay in sending

arms due to the difficulty in getting the approval through the republican dominated house of representatives. >> all right, let's speak ahead quickly now to this debate that apparently is going to happen on june 27th. we're seeing, i think, a much more, you know, a far punchier president biden. we saw that note on social media where he's saying, make my day to the former president, former president trump, who stands to gain more from a public debate between the two? well certainly, i think a president obama, sorry, president biden, because he is, i think he generally has a better understanding of the facts and, and the like. >> and though his delivery, you know, seems a little, a little slow and, and not as, enthusiastic or punchy as that of, of trump, i think that, he would likely be able to come out on top of the on the debate. it depends a lot on the questions. it depends a lot on, on on the

minds of the american people, at the time. and it could be very interesting and i assume that most of the debate will be on domestic policy, not on israel or ukraine, but it would also be very interesting to see what differences they have on those issues as well. >> okay. i'm sure it'll be dissected a hundred times over between now and then. thank you so much for joining us. professor zunes from usf. my pleasure. of course. >> time now is 819. jimmy carter's grandson says the former president is coming to the end. in an update on carter's health, carter has been in hospice care for more than a year, and his grandson says he believes carter is on a faith journey that you can only live at the very end. jimmy carter is now 99 years old. he entered hospice care in february of 2023 and made a rare public appearance to attend his wife's memorial service back in november. the planning commission in half moon bay has approved a new housing development for senior farm workers. dozens of people attended last night's planning commission meeting, which went well past midnight. the proposal

to build a 40 unit, low income apartment complex for senior farm workers in downtown half moon bay has divided the community. >> we have way too much going on down here. we have schools, churches, boys and girls club down here. it's just not the right space for that. >> well, there's always reasons not to build something somewhere. people will always find that reason, but we really have to look at who we're building this for. the most vulnerable are senior farm workers that have dedicated their lives and their physical health to us. >> last year's mass shooting at a mushroom farm in half moon bay exposed the poor living conditions of farm workers. last week, governor newsom urged the city to move forward with that project late 20. >> let's get out the door here for those who need to leave and make that 830 meeting. i don't suppose they have a lot of extra time, so. >> well, unless they live really close there. garcia let's go right to the bay bridge toll plaza and if you're driving out toward the macarthur maze, that's where the slowdown begins. i also want to mention an unusual backup on eastbound

24, which is having an effect on highway 13 and also on 580. people aren't used to this this backup because of late running, paving work in the area of saint stephen's road. look at all that slow traffic. if you drive from oakland to walnut creek, you're not expecting that. so now you know it's going to be a tough one. you may want to put off the trip if you can. 820 let's go back to roberta, who's doing today's weather. >> sal, if you're a resident of the bay area, you know that this may gray is typical for this time of the year, but what not so typical is our average high temperatures. we are above normal for this time of the year. today, 74 degrees. the average for santa rosa. but we are forecasting 80 degrees. and as far as may rain is concerned average 1.27. but we are well above that for this time of the year as well. this is the blanket of low clouds that is just hugging tight to monument peak in the santa clara valley, where the visibility is down to nine miles. however, look at santa rosa, problematic at a
