an email may be behind the move and why. some at the university are so upset. then uc berkeley officials made a deal to end a pro gaza protest on campus. now, a new demonstration has popped up just blocks away, and school leaders call this one a crime. what we know about this new development, then it's a first for the dow jones, the milestone number it hit today. and what's behind it. the news at noon starts now. >> this is ktvu fox two news at noon. >> good afternoon i'm gasia mikaelian. let's begin with that

milestone on wall street. for the first time ever, the dow jones industrial average this morning broke past the 40,000 point threshold. the increase was fueled by an encouraging report showing that inflation is cooling. the dow was up 114 points in midmorning trading. we'll take a peek at the numbers now just below that key benchmark. it has gained a handful of points from where it started but has dipped back below that 40,000 mark will keep watching stocks before the market closes at 1:00 our time s&p showing very modest gains as excuse me, nasdaq essentially flat demonstrators in berkeley have taken over a building owned by uc berkeley that's about two blocks from campus. ktvu jana katsuyama there live now at the site at the corner of channing and bowditch. what have you learned? jana >> well, just a short while ago, i spoke to both the university and some of the organizers of the sproul plaza protest. earlier this week, and they say that they do not have any people here. it is a different group. i do want to step away because we were here yesterday. but what's new this afternoon is there is a barrier that these demonstrators

have erected around the building. and you can see there's a quite a large perimeter. the uc berkeley official that i spoke with said that they are trying to determine who it is, who is part of this protest. i did count more than 15 tents inside this perimeter here. if you take a look at some video we had earlier today, the people here at the encampment, we asked them if they had any message. they said they do not want to make any comment and instead they said they have an instagram site where they are planning to post any messages they have painted messages though, on the building itself, the university says the building used to house an institute, but was burned in a fire a few years ago and has since been boarded up. they say that they estimate there might be as many as 60 people who have been on this site since it came up yesterday, but this is a different protest again from the one that was at sproul plaza. >> we have confirmed that the coalition with whom we reached an understanding on tuesday did

not initiate this action. there have been no arrests as of now. it's not clear who the suspects are, though some portion of them appear to be students. >> and outside, one of the tents, i did see a sign that said berkeley city college students in solidarity. the university says that they have safety concerns because this building was burned in a fire and they say it is extremely unsafe. the university spokesman tells me that he is the university is basically deeming this as a criminal activity of trespassing and vandalizing. vandalization of the building itself. we have seen some police officers around, but they are kind of staying far away. so far there's been no kind of conflict of any sort. there was also somebody in a vest who said she was a legal observer, but when i asked if she was with this group, she declined to comment. so definitely it's something that has changed since overnight. we will be here and

bring you any updates as we get them. >> gasia jana katsuyama live in berkeley. thank you. the president of sonoma state says he made a mistake. he sent a message to the college community making promises to student protesters without proper approval. as ktvu james torres reports, university president mike lee is now suspended. >> employees scrub a sidewalk covered in chalk just outside pearson theater on sonoma state university's campus, part of it reading justice for mike lee. it's the last piece of evidence that a more than two week long protest was staged right here. the tents are gone, but that's only because student protesters thought they had an agreement with the university. >> it's completely unacceptable. >> state senator scott wiener called the statement published by university president mike lee, horrifying. after visiting the student encampment twice, lee says he reached an agreement with protesters. he says the college would agree to disclosing the university's investments with a pro-palestinian student advisory

council and consider divestment strategies. he also promised an academic boycott against programs that are sponsored by or represent the state of israel. but the state university system says they did not agree to any of those terms. a statement from the csu chancellor says in part the message was sent without the appropriate approvals. i want to acknowledge how deeply concerned i am about the impact the statement has had on the sonoma state community and how challenging and painful it will be for many of our students and community members to see and read. lee was then placed on administrative leave. he acknowledged in a statement of his own admitting to a mistake, saying, quote, in my attempt to find agreement with one group of students, i marginalized other members of our student population and community. i realize the harm that this has caused and i take full ownership of it. i deeply regret the unintended consequences of my actions. >> we can have whatever opinions we have about the war. i have strong opinions about the war, and i've criticized the israeli

government. but regardless of one's view of the war, when you talk about let's do this like boycott and try to dismantle the israeli economy, that is one half of all jews on the planet. >> senator wiener says he appreciates the apology, but the harm was already done. other lawmakers, like state senator bill dodd of sonoma, weighed in, saying in part, quote, i appreciate chancellor garcia's quick response to this situation. we need stability and thoughtful leadership at sonoma state. it's not clear if those student protesters will come back here to person lawn, though there are some reports that they may consider a demonstration during this weekend's graduation ceremonies reporting from sonoma state university's campus. i'm james torres, ktvu you fox two news. >> in an effort to calm political division on uc campuses, uc regents are set to approve a controversial plan to limit political speech on university websites. the regions are expected to vote on a plan today before wrapping up a three

to be nonpolitical. but having said that, gavin newsom is clearly on a presidential path, and we're going to see more and more of this as he tries to raise his national profile. >> tomorrow, newsom will head to bologna, located in northern italy, one of the country's largest cities. he's expected to sign a partnership with local leaders there to work on ways to shed our dependance on fossil fuels and the industry behind them. >> we have the tools, we have the technology. we have the capacity to address this issue at a global level, a scale level. and they've been fighting every single advancement. and we have got to call that out. >> the governor's office says that trip to italy is being paid for through a nonprofit called the california state protocol foundation, which gets its money from private donations. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> general motors is looking for top silicon valley talent to help with its ev production. the company has launched a west coast tech hub in mountain view. the new innovation center has about 200 gm employees,

well. we start out the day and still have some cloud cover in some neighborhoods. and also a bit of some drizzle out there as well. so here is your forecast for today. we're going to hold on to with some clouds near the shoreline. partly sunny skies for the rest of the bay area and the winds up there around 2230 miles an hour. so sometimes we talk about a shallow marine layer means it's just hugging the coastline, but it has deepened over the past few days. and as a result, all of that cooler marine air impacting the entire bay area. now here's the satellite from earlier this morning. the clouds you can see over the bay clearing back to near the shoreline with some breaks near portions of the coastline. so maybe a sun cloud mix, but solid overcast out toward the golden gate bridge. here's a closer inspection of the satellite showing you the pattern moving into a southern marine county, and even up into portions of the north bay. some overcast out toward healdsburg, santa rosa, petaluma, bodega bay, and out toward even stinson beach as well. so persistent cloud cover so far up in portions of the north bay. that's having a big impact on temperatures right now, santa rosa is only 58 degrees. san francisco is actually warmer than santa rosa at this hour.

again once again. late tonight and early tomorrow morning. a solid push of overcast out there and maybe some drizzle, and then pretty much the same forecast for your friday. so these are all just some minor changes in our forecast. and in fact, temperatures trending down a little bit as we head toward the weekend highs for this afternoon. san francisco lower 60s santa rosa napa will go 70 degrees. we have to warm up a bit, though over the next couple of hours. concord 78 and san jose 76 degrees. here is a look ahead. your five day forecast maybe just a touch warmer into your friday, but the overall trend into the weekend. we scale back on those temperatures. lots of cloud cover in the morning, then clearing back to near the shoreline into the afternoon hours. so obviously, as you can see here, the heat is not a part of our forecast for today in fact, right into the weekend, it's a cooler pattern paying us a visit. >> mark. thank you. coming up, have you ever made a late payment? you are not alone. the number of cash strapped californians is rising. what a new report reveals when it comes to the struggle to pay bills on time

all about a first in wine. >> we are the first vietnamese owned winery in napa, so the chairman of the board, his name is don van nguyen. we call him mister dom. he came here and felt the way that everyone who comes to napa feels, which is that it's beautiful and amazing. and he wanted something here for his family. and then it's kind of been a way to share vietnamese culture. this tasting room was designed in the style of halong bay. the art on the wall is original art from vietnamese artists. our our brand names like julie haener not is a story, a fable from vietnamese culture. so like it's a way for us to kind of share culture our d which signifies sunrise or morning time in vietnamese, says the goal isn't to fit into a napa mold, but to create a space of their own. >> i think if we look at the napa wine world from the outside, it still feels very exclusive. >> it still feels like it's pretentious. and it's just, i mean, it's beautiful. it's a

wonderful place. but that is a feeling that i think a lot of people have. i mean, i've heard, comedian jo koy joke about how wine was for white people. so, like, there is this idea that it is an exclusive experience and it doesn't have to be right. wine at the end of the day, is fermented grape juice right? this is this is what it is. and it's been a part of many cultures for a very long time, and it can be a part of anyone's household. we are entering our warehouse, and this is where we store all the barrels for aging. >> phan says vietnam doesn't have a history with wine, so originally the company intended to export what they created to vietnam, but now they've shifted their focus to the u.s. and opened this tasting room right as the pandemic hit in the pandemic that you guys did that anyway, how has that been? >> really hard. >> there's honesty. it's difficult. >> yeah. so we opened in july of 2020, and that's after we had finished renovating the space,

and then suddenly it was only outdoor. but then we also had massive wildfires that year. so it wasn't safe to be inside because of covid, but it wasn't necessarily safe to be outside because of smoke, hoping the toughest part of the road is behind them. >> they are now expanding their offerings with cultural events and with pan-asian food pairings. >> this is our 100 sauvignon blanc with the lychee chocolate. this sauvignon blanc comes from morgan ranch and this one is, won double gold at the san francisco chronicle wine competition. >> hospitality director candice markovich wilson treated us to a tasting of ardi winery wines paired with chocolate made in san francisco, inspired by the diverse flavors of vietnam, including one flavor that is described as savory pho with a side of sriracha. >> this one comes from cherry house vineyard and i think that's the perfect description of this palate. a lot more kind of those cherry notes. and this is also going to give you a little bit of baking spice, which is going to pair with the

chocolate. >> and i really like it. i'm trying to taste the. >> worm. >> it's like yeah the back of the palate. >> it is new territory, not just for ardi, but also for napa and the industry. as a whole. and pioneers don't enjoy the luxury of roadmaps to success. >> for us, i mean, being the first carries a lot of responsibility and weight particularly. i feel that personally, i think that we fit in in terms of perhaps we don't fit in realistically, like we're trying to make wine more diverse. most of our conversations are about making wine more accessible. >> and so for this team, it's about first steps and next steps. for napa's first vietnamese owned winery, raising a glass to all that can be in napa. claudine wong, ktvu, fox two news a beautiful day to be up in wine country. >> i'm always so, you know, amazed that we get this all year

round. tourists only get it for the, say, the week that they're here in mid-may. >> yeah. and whatever week you pick, it could be so different, right, garcia? some weeks will be super chilly, some weeks could be super hot. and the heat is not a part of our forecast this week. in fact, we will cool down a little bit as we head toward the weekend. so definitely some clouds out toward the shoreline, even some lingering clouds up in up in wine country this afternoon. partly sunny skies for a good portion of the bay area. the winds have been picking up as well over 20 miles an hour, and temperatures in the 60s and the 70s. so the marine layer has deepened a bit over the past couple of days. and as a result, all of that cooler marine air is making its way into the bay and also into some of the inland valleys. here's a satellite from earlier today. the clouds trying to clear back to a near portions of the coastline. maybe some sun cloud mix out toward san francisco. but as you can see in parts of marin county, here in southern marin county, out toward the marin headlands, we have some overcast out toward muir beach and a big cloud bank here out toward the petaluma, santa rosa, windsor and guerneville this afternoon. so still some stubborn, overcast up

in portions of the north bay having a big impact on temperatures. santa rosa right now, as you can see only in the upper 50s at 58 degrees san francisco 63, livermore 72. and the winds have been picking up as well. and a few spots. here's fairfield gusting to over 30 miles an hour. santa rosa in the single digits and then out toward sfo. winds at about nine miles an hour. half moon bay winds at 12 miles an hour. here is our view from the south bay camera. so it's either this you either actually have lots of sunshine or a sun cloud mix, or complete overcast. so we have that all in the car set for today. for your thursday. this area of high pressure keeping us dry, not so much warm though maybe for the inland spots in the upper 70s to right around 80 degrees. but the overall trend is a cooling trend that will continue right on into the weekend. so no 90s, not much in the way of 80s. we're just thinking some 60s and some 70s. here's the forecast model is picking up on still some cloud cover up in parts of the north bay, and still some patchy cloud

cover near portions of the shoreline. so this is 4:00 this afternoon. we're going to cloud things up once again overnight. this is 8:00 tomorrow morning. you may have encountered some drizzle this morning or at least some mist. and there's the chance that could be happening once again for your friday. and then, just like today, the clouds will try to clear back to near the shoreline into the afternoon hours. so san francisco 63 the 70 might be a bit optimistic for santa rosa. we still have that cloud cover out there. temperatures in the upper 50s at least, probably in the mid 60s. but we could have maybe by a 3 or 4:00 getting close to 70 fremont, 72, san jose, 76 degrees. and here is a look ahead. your five day forecast, maybe a little bit of a warm up in your friday, but you probably won't notice the change. and then into the weekend, we will definitely cool things off for both saturday and into sunday. so no 90s. not much in the way of 80s. you'll definitely the sweater and the jacket, especially for the morning hours as we have those chilly starts in the morning hours. >> garcia mark. thank you. a dramatic retelling of the story of the first black woman to be elected to the united states congress. how one east bay
