4:03 pm
the former house speaker and her husband? >> what did they have to say in their victim impact statements? >> yeah, neither the former speaker nor paul pelosi were in the courtroom, but christine pelosi, their daughter, was in courtroom. and she read a statement from both of her parents first reading the statement from her father, describing the impact that that attack had on the entire family. the statement from paul pelosi reading, quote, ever since the defendant violently broke into my home and woke me up yelling, where's nancy at 2 a.m. on october 28th, 2022, my life has been irrevocably changed. christine pelosi, also reading a statement from her mother, the former speaker reading it is therefore necessary that the guilty party sentence be very long, as punishment for the attack and the injuries, paul continues to suffer and as a deterrent to others considering violence against public officials, that also something that the fbi touched on all impacted parties saying that
4:04 pm
they believed that they wanted this sentence to send a message to those who would seek to do harm to public officials or their families, to try to discourage any future acts like this from ever happening again. >> all right, christien kafton, we'll see you again at five. thank you. >> well, now we go to berkeley this afternoon, where protesters are now facing charges after police moved in to clear out the vacant uc berkeley building that activists had taken over. our jana katsuyama joining us now live from the scene with new information on the arrest. jana >> well, heather, what we've learned since earlier this morning is that they've now identified eight of the 12 protesters who were taken into custody yesterday, and they say that only one of them so far is a uc berkeley student. the lawn outside the uc berkeley building on channing way was clear friday after university workers cleared the lawn of the tents, signs and barriers that had been erected by protesters earlier in the week. overnight, uc berkeley
4:05 pm
police, along with officers from 20 different law enforcement agencies from foster city up to fairfield, were called in to remove the encampment. 12 protesters were arrested as police and riot gear erected barricades surrounding the protest site to keep other protesters from entering the area. a uc berkeley spokesperson says police removed protesters from the building that had been vacant for several years. >> what happened at anahid was, from the very beginning, a criminal act. they broke into a building, they vandalized the building. they trespassed on university property. >> on friday, the university says only one person was confirmed to be a uc berkeley student. four were berkeley residents. two were from the greater bay area, one is from colorado, and four others have refused to say their identity. so alameda county sheriff's office is investigating the university says the law enforcement response was different from the resolution, with anti-war protesters in a different group at the sproul plaza encampment because those protesters did not break the
4:06 pm
law. >> we have always at uc berkeley responded differently to criminal activity than we have to violation of campus policy. his >> the university says police arrested the protesters on charges of burglary, vandalism and conspiracy. i did put in a call to the district attorney in alameda county to find out whether there will be charges pressed, but so far we have not heard back from them. >> all right, jana, just curious. in the day, since this whole thing popped up. and then also when the police moved in last night, what do people in the neighborhood thought about this action? >> well, heather, we went around and we talked to different people in the neighborhood. some of the people said that they support the students, but if there are people from outside the community, then they said those people should have been arrested. others say so many of the students said that they felt like this was a peaceful demonstration here, and that they feel like the police

300 pallets full of aid from the united arab emirates and the united kingdom. once in gaza, the aid is being distributed by the united nations. no american troops went ashore. us officials said they expect a scale up to 150 truckloads of food and supplies per day. >> as we speak, additional aid from the united states and other countries is arriving in cyprus, where it will be screened by israeli authorities and loaded onto ships for delivery via the maritime corridor, the temporary pier that we've been talking about, months of intense fighting, has hampered the delivery of food and other supplies and groups say many people in gaza are facing near starvation. >> the us says it is closely coordinating with israel on protecting the ships and personnel on the beach. in the midst of intense fighting. there are still questions about the safety of aid workers who distribute the food. >> highway one through big sur just reopened this morning after weeks of closures due to storm damage. a series of storms causing a rock slide that took

4:16 pm
some gratitude. and so i sent him a message saying, listen, i'm so sorry for what this means to you, but i was there. i was front row, i loved it, i was so moved. thank you so much. and from that a really beautiful friendship formed. now fast forward two years later, he's back on tour with hamilton, being a star and i come up with this crazy story to do a whole narrative through instagram stories, to really just speak to a generation of everything that we've went through recently. but and stay true to the reality of it, but do it not through pessimism, but through positivity. and i had him in mind as the lead, but he's doing his hamilton thing. he's not going to do it. but literally the following morning i see him post another video on instagram saying, tonight's my last performance with hamilton. i don't know what's next. and i'm like, oh my god. >> like any actor, i need a job, right? >> yeah. so i immediately posted, i sent him another letter saying, listen, i just wrote this thing for you literally last night. would you read it? would you be in it? would you partner with me? co-own it with me? let's create this thing together. and now we

girlfriend, cassie ventura, at a hotel in los angeles back in 2016. i want to show you now some still images that were posted on tmz's website, taken from the graphic video which first appeared on cnn. now the rapper wearing just a towel as you see here, appears to chase ventura. and then kick, punch and throw things at her, including a flower vase. this incident was detailed in a now settled lawsuit that ventura filed against diddy back in november. more lawsuits were filed against combs in the following months, and just last month, federal agents raided his homes in los angeles and miami in a sex trafficking investigation. tmz says the video appears to back up ventura's claims of abuse. >> diddy, diddy had vehemently denied these allegations. and if people out there believe diddy and did not believe cassie. you wonder now, i would imagine that
4:25 pm
they have all changed their mind because we've seen he did exactly what she said he did. and you do wonder about those other incidences that she claimed, you know, where he acted violently. the statute of limitations in los angeles or in california, i should say, has passed. so there will not be any charges as a result of the hotel incident. you do wonder, though, if it does have any effect on the federal investigation, which, like we said, is still ongoing. now we see what was a crime, despite the statute of limitations having passed. and, you've got to you've got to imagine that diddy feels very, very concerned about what could happen here. cnn reports that combs paid the hotel $50,000 for the surveillance video. >> it's not clear why it was released today. his attorneys have not commented an unusual start to the pga championship today, with the world's number one golfer being arrested and charged with a felony before round two. >> scottie scheffler was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a louisville, kentucky police officer. this
4:26 pm
all happened outside the valhalla golf course, where the pga championship is currently taking place. authorities say scheffler tried to drive around the scene of a fatal pedestrian collision in front of the course early this morning, after a police officer instructed him to stop. according to the police report, he refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging that detective to the ground. the detective injured his wrist and knee and was treated at a hospital. scheffler was released from jail about three hours later, actually returned to the golf course for the second round of the tournament, where he went on to shoot a five under par 66. in a statement, scheffler said, quote, there was a big misunderstanding of what i thought i was being asked to do. >> well, the trump criminal hush money trial in new york took a break today. so the former president could attend his son barron's high school graduation. both trump and former first lady
4:27 pm

4:28 pm
republican party. >> we also discussed this map, which shows the recent real clear politics average of polls. according to a series of recent polls in swing states, donald trump would win the presidential contest against joe biden if it was held today. >> but for democrats out there who think like there's these, you know, donald trump is sitting in a courtroom, he might be convicted. we'll see. it's up to the jury. this is over. it's not this is going to be a very close election. there are some warning signs in there. i don't think the biden campaign is unaware of them. but for people who thought this would be easy, it's not. >> and you can catch the full episode of the issue is sunday morning, 630 right here on ktvu. all right. >> finding the flavors of indonesia. the big event happening tomorrow that will tantalize your taste buds as you explore culture through cuisine. >> and an oakland based craft brewery, is about to hit the big time. why this bay area brew is heading to boston to potentially

4:41 pm
this great event. angela at fort mason, tell us a little bit about what's going to take place. yes >> our organization, the friends of indonesia, is going to open up our door to an exotic experience for the bay area audience to introduce ourselves and building bridges to introduce our wonderful indonesia. >> yeah. and you're going to have lots of things on display, ruthie, you've got you've got food, you've got drink, you've got clothing. so tell us a little bit about what we've got here. that's just a little taste of what people at home can expect tomorrow. >> sure. what is an event without food? that's right. yeah. so this is what my personal favorite is. we call it rendang. this is from the west sumatra. it's quite spicy. it's beef and also the rice with a little bit of dried shallot and shrimp crackers and the chili and also the pickles. so this is it's. yeah. my personal favorite. yeah. >> and ruthie, there is an important aspect to this which is learning about the culture through cuisine.
4:42 pm
>> absolutely. yes. correct. because currently for that's why the friends of indonesia, our mission is to build bridges and promoting indonesia. the wonderful indonesia, through food. and also, because currently the one that they know is just bali. but this all this is not just from bali, this is from our different, cuisine too. yeah. >> and then, angela, there are some significance with the event tomorrow, the 75th anniversary of bilateral relations between indonesia and the us. i mean, talk about that significance. >> yes. so this year is the 75 years, the relationship, diplomatic and bilateral relationship, 75 years ago, we started this relationship having business relationship and trying to exchange our, our country and educating people about our country. and then this year is that 75 anniversary. so the celebration will be extra special because we will feature the, and a lot more of indonesian tradition and we have
4:43 pm
indonesian consulate will be there and we're hope we're going to have some representation from america also will be there. that's really great. >> obviously ruthie talked with us about the dish here on the right, but what is this right here? >> so this one is we call it lapis legit indonesia. but it's like a thousand layer cake. you make it. there's no machine to make this. and this is you need to do it a layer by layer. it's like very delicious. and this is it. >> very sweet. >> it's sweet. yes. this is all sweet. yeah, yeah. and this one is, you want to explain about this? yeah. >> so this whole thing called jajan pasar in indonesia called little snacks, and this is pandan with custard and inside here is a tartlet with some pineapple inside. so that sounds delicious. every bite have, like, a really intense taste, but it's not too sweet. it's just delicious. >> are you finding it easier to get vendors, to get restaurants and things to participate in your event? i know it's i know it's still kind of early. just your third year. >> yes, we it's getting easier
4:44 pm
and easier, but indonesia is quite underrepresented. like for the fourth most populous country in the world, we do not have that much representation. this is why we, these friends of indonesia, is very important to bring this and to represent. >> yeah, ruthie, though i have noticed that here in the bay area we are seeing a few more indonesian restaurants pop up. you've got to be encouraged by that, correct? >> absolutely. this is where from nusa, which is going to be one of our vendor to and, that nusa just opened their, restaurant in emeryville and public market, so, but yeah, we're very excited. and we also have, laperm a bull is one of our, vendor to that. join us. and they will have also a pop up in berkeley bowl. yeah. >> i mean, that's the whole idea, right? is to expose people to these great flavors, to this great culture. so then they can they can patronize the businesses, support the restaurants and things. angela, there's another aspect to it, which we talked about, the great food, which obviously you don't
4:45 pm
want to miss, folks, but then you have you have clothing, you have art, there's music, there's dance. i mean, there's a lot to what people can experience tomorrow. >> yes. so there's a lot of course, this is a sample of our material. there's people that are going to sell this indonesian material which called batik, and it's a tie dye and handmade, all these things. so we want to introduce this material and we also have a lot of arts and artists that sell, small goods at the. >> now our tickets still available, we are sold out, that's you've got to feel good about that, angela. >> yes we did. thank you so much . >> yes. that's really encouraging, ruthie, to the fact that so many people want to go, like i said, has to make you feel good. and you've got to be proud of what you've been able to accomplish thus far. >> absolutely. we are grateful and humble that the tickets are sold out. yeah. >> okay. so what for the folks that are going, what's the number one thing that they should that they should go for? what should they enjoy while they're there.
4:46 pm
>> of course there's nothing to represent and to build bridges than food. yeah. so food and of course we have gamelan zakariyah. they are amazing, always mesmerizing. and we have many other, entertainment from all kinds of indonesian islands and of course, the warmth of our people and just introduce yourself and try to learn about our culture. >> yeah. and have a great time. as we mentioned, it is sold out, but hopefully it will be really successful that you'll then be planning for next year's fourth annual indonesian bazaar. really appreciate it. angela and ruthie, a pleasure to meet you both. can't wait to dig in and try some of these delicious things that you have that you're offering. and again, great success tomorrow. okay have a great time. >> thank you for having us. thank you, thank you. >> all right, frank, save one for me. >> maybe, maybe. come on. i'm your partner. all right. well, it's that time of year again. bay to breakers weekend is upon us. sunday morning. thousands of costume runners and walkers expected to take part in san francisco's annual bay to breakers race. sunday's 12 k is a scenic tour, of course,
4:47 pm
through nine san francisco neighborhoods. it starts at the bay bridge and finishes on the great highway in ocean beach. the big race starts bright and early 8:00 start and will impact traffic beginning the night before. so do take note. there will be a number of road closures along the race route starting at 7 p.m. saturday until 5 p.m. on sunday, and street closures sunday along that route. but a fun weekend taking a live look outside right now at the golden gate bridge, and you can see most of it on this friday. but a nice marine layer is starting to come on into the bay, and i have a feeling that might be hanging out part of the weekend too. let's check in with rosemary. a lot of runners would probably welcome that rosemary come the weekend. how are we looking? >> you're right frank, and yes, more of the same expected. just a subtle changes coming our way for the weekend. a beautiful view there with the overcast sky of the golden gate bridge. we started out with the low clouds, the patchy drizzle, some of our hills even picked up, you know,
4:48 pm
several one hundredths of an inch or so. i think close to our east bay hills. almost a 10th of an inch reported for some stormtracker two here. the ridge of high pressure parked way off our coastline, and we're watching these disturbances just kind of drop in, creating a bit of a trough to the north of us. futurecast model does a little bit better of showing you what i'm talking about. if you can see right in here, kind of that dip in the pattern there, the ridge here, we've got that high parked off the pacific and the clockwise motion around it kind of showing you just how far out it is from us tomorrow. more of the same. this here, the ridge off our coastline and into sunday still looking very similar with the overall pattern. temperatures across the bay area right now, 60 degrees in san francisco to upper 70s in brentwood. we're definitely settling into that time of year where we could easily have a 20 to 30 degree span from one end of the bay area to the next temperatures tomorrow morning. a little bit of a cool start for
4:49 pm
some, but not too bad. 49 in santa rosa that is one of the chillier areas. 52 in san francisco. if you're going to be in yountville for the art sip and stroll, there. beautiful day for our north bay locations. upper 60s by lunchtime, upper 70s at 4:00 in the afternoon and for the rest of us, mid 70s and redwood city for tomorrow. our inner east bay enjoying a mid to upper 70s. we have a festival going on over areas of livermore contra costa county fair going on and as we know, a bay to breakers. as frank mentioned, just a moment ago, if you are thinking about being in san francisco for that or just being in san francisco on sunday, likely to start out with morning clouds, afternoon sun, low 50s at sunrise and then getting into the afternoon mid to perhaps even a few upper 60s for parts of san francisco there. meanwhile, the extended forecast for the weekend and beyond, we do expect temperatures to come up just slightly on sunday. low 60s at the coast, low 70s around the bay, upper 70s for our
4:50 pm
inland cities. and we continue to see that trend in the monday. right now, tuesday looks like it's the warmest day when our inland communities are getting close to the mid 80s and then we slide once again into wednesday morning clouds, afternoon sun and seasonal temperatures. back to you. thanks, rosemary. >> i am suddenly hungry. frank. >> i know we're right. where's our food, really great though. such lovely ladies and a great, great event happening this weekend. 7:00. i'm on it. yeah. okay, let's take a look now at. see how traffic is moving along. it is friday after all, and we typically see a friday crush of cars and sad to say that is exactly what we're seeing here as we take a look at the macarthur maze. boy, that's where just everything sort of comes together and you can see lots of traffic. >> highway 80. no bueno right now, that's for sure. and coming up at 5:00, twitter is officially dead. so what's the last step to rebrand the social media platform as x? also at five, the contra costa county fair has great weather and great fun coming up for the weekend,

step closer to being classified as a less dangerous drug. the justice department's proposal still needs to be approved, but as fox's rebecca castor tells us, it comes as president biden tries to reconnect with younger voters. >> far too many lives have been upended because of failed approach to marijuana, and i'm committed to writing those wrongs. >> that's the promise from president biden as his justice department officially moves to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. >> this is monumental. >> currently, marijuana is a schedule one drug, along with heroin, lsd and ecstasy. drugs the government says have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. if the doj's proposal is approved, marijuana would become a schedule three drug alongside ketamine, some steroids and other substances with moderate
