4:02 pm
the bodies of iran's president ebrahim raisi, the foreign minister and others killed in sunday's helicopter crash in iran's east azerbaijan province. the crash happened in dense fog, a shock to iran's regime. raisi was the 63 year old protege of iran's supreme leader, the ayatollah ali khamenei. >> he was considered to be a successor, potential successor to the supreme leader, san francisco state university professor mahmood monshipour says raisi was a right wing leader known for his hardline crackdowns on iranian opponents. >> his reputation was seriously damaged because of the 2022 protests. >> after the killing of a young girl by the name of mahsa amini, monshipour said raisi had low support among the iranian people. we are looking at. i mean, 14, 15 million population of tehran, only, 7 to 8% of them
4:03 pm
participated in the parliamentary election, which, indicates how badly, the regime is performing. >> the united nations security council held a moment of silence monday, also killed in the crash. iran's foreign minister hossein amir-abdollahian. san francisco state professor stephen zunes met him during a 2019 visit to iran, had combined this very fundamentalist, hardcore view of shia islam with a very, very strong, nationalist sense about iran that he thought it was better for iran to go alone, even if it meant suffering international sanctions. some opponents of the regime are relieved by the death of those two hardliners. a new election has been scheduled for june 28th, but scholars say the u.s. will likely see little change in iran u.s. relations the most powerful centers of the power in iran, rest with the supreme leader and revolutionary
4:04 pm
guard, so not much will be, should be anticipated to change. and of course, iran plays a big role in the middle east with hamas and hezbollah. but professor monshipour says it is quite likely that the next president will continue on iran's current policies and path. but certainly in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what is going to happen. so really, the next 50 days are going to be critical. >> yeah, a lot to keep an eye on. has there been any reaction from the white house to the deaths of these two key leaders in iran? >> well, obviously, iran and the us, not exactly. friends. there was an official expression of condolences. but then the us also said that the us supports the iranian people and their pursuit of human rights. so it's a little bit of a two sided coin with that. >> yeah. and obviously you talked with experts in this field, but what about regular folks, citizens who are here in the bay area? how are they reacting to this? >> well, you know, frankly, a lot of the people who came to the us during the shah era and the revolution are not friendly
4:05 pm
with the regime. and so many of them said they frankly felt a lot of relief. there is going to be tonight at 6:00 in emeryville's marina park, a gathering of some of those people to, i guess you might say, celebrate or at least express their hopes for a brighter future for iran at this point. >> all right. jana katsuyama appreciate it. thank you. >> the international criminal court is seeking to arrest israeli and hamas leaders and charged them with war crimes. president biden denounced the court's announcement today as outrageous. the icc says it's looking into arrest warrants for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, along with three senior hamas leaders. the prosecutor cites murder, rape and torture by hamas leaders as reasons for their arrests. he also says his office has evidence against netanyahu and his defense minister, suggesting they've committed crimes against humanity during the seven month long war in gaza. >> israel, like all states, has the right to defend its
4:06 pm
population. it has every right to ensure the return of hostages that have been criminally and callously taken those rights, however, do not absolve israel of its obligations to comply with international humanitarian law, intentionally causing death, starvation, injury and suffering to the civilian population. >> a panel of three judges will now determine whether to actually issue those arrest warrants. netanyahu calls the charges a disgrace, says this is exactly what the new anti-semitism looks like. >> it is moved from the campuses in the west to the court in the hague. what a shame. >> hamas also denounced the icc prosecutors request to seek the arrest of its leaders. dozens of countries, including the u.s. and israel, don't accept the court's jurisdiction over war crimes. so even if the warrants are issued, the accused do not face immediate risk of prosecution to san jose this
4:07 pm
afternoon and within the last hour, some new information that we learned about the man who allegedly fired a gun in the middle of a neighborhood and was shot by police. >> our south bay reporter jesse gary live now at police headquarters with the very latest, including that updated information. jesse >> heather, good afternoon to you. and the police chief filled in a lot of the gaps surrounding yesterday's incident in east san jose, as well as identifying the man responsible for the actions of his own and of the police. let's go ahead. take a look at our video. they identified him as 41 year old san jose resident ricardo villareal. now, police say he has a lengthy criminal history, including assaulting a police officer with a weapon. >> unfortunately, that's a frequent occurrence. we often find felons in possession of firearms. that was the situation 17 days ago, and so that's part of what we were trying to figure out. it's part of what we're trying to convene in a group of people together to figure out
4:08 pm
why, in san jose, we are seeing this uptick in violence directed, gun violence, directed at our police officers. i've been doing this a very long time. i've never seen us san jose police officers take so much gunfire in such a short period of time. >> investigators say this video shows villareal exiting a van around 4:00 sunday afternoon and shooting near the k and k apartments in the 2700 block of colmar drive that's near story road in east san jose. responding officers returned fire. villarreal then ran and was cornered by more officers in a different area of the apartment complex. three officers fired shots and ultimately dropped him. >> this apartment complex was filled with people enjoying a warm sunday evening. families, friends and children were safe one minute and the next in grave danger. what they did next was the one thing they knew would stop this nightmare and make their family safe again. they called san jose police officers for help. we cannot allow attempts of killing of our
4:09 pm
officers to become normalized, expected or tolerated. >> police say they recovered a loaded, unregistered gun at the scene. the suspect, villareal, reported in critical condition at a south bay hospital cell phone video from another bystander shows villareal collapsed on the ground in the alleyway behind the apartment complex. now, this marks the third time just this year that a san jose police officer or officers have been targeted for gunfire. that happened just twice in all of last year. so the chief is trying to understand why that's happening, additionally, the chief says the department is going to work with the atf to try to track that weapon that was recovered at the scene. they said they checked the serial number, but it's not showing up anywhere. so now they're going to work with the atf to try to check, check the weapon. heather >> they're outlining a really dangerous situation. jesse, do we know if the suspect had any connection to that neighborhood? what brought him to that area in the first place? >> investigators say that he
4:10 pm
lives in san jose, and that he may have known some people at that apartment complex. now, exactly what brought him there and why he started shooting indiscriminately is still a mystery. but they believe that he knew some people at the apartment complex, but we don't know what precipitated him to open fire. and so they're saying that he wasn't shooting at anybody in particular. but then once officers arrived, that's when he started targeting police. heather. >> all right. our jesse gary reporting live for us this afternoon there in san jose jesse. thank you. all right. an unexpected turn of events in the case of the man convicted in the paul pelosi attack. stay with us. a legal analyst will join us live to explain why the judge has ordered a redo of the sentencing that happened just last week. >> and coming up later this afternoon. black restaurant week is underway across northern california, and we are live with one of the minds behind the event to talk about how you can celebrate and support black restaurant owners here in the
4:11 pm
bay area and across the bay area this afternoon. >> mostly clear skies and warmer temps as our warming trend continues. a better look at the current conditions and what we can expec for the week 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.

4:13 pm
man convicted of attacking nancy pelosi's husband. we brought you this news on friday. >> that's when david depape was sentenced to 30 years in prison for breaking into the former house speaker's home and attacking her husband, paul pelosi, with a hammer. but over the weekend, judge jacqueline scott corley admitted that she had failed to give the defendant a pap a chance to make a statement during sentencing, which is required during federal trials. so she has decided to reopen the hearing to allow depape to speak. and that hearing is set for next week, next tuesday, may 28th. >> all right. joining us now to talk more about the implications of this redo on the sentencing. is our legal analyst michael
4:14 pm
cardoza. michael help to put this in some context here. how how significant an error is this by judge callie, if you're asking if it goes up on appeal, would they reverse this conviction? >> no, no, not on that ground. okay. not a chance on this ground. but talk about an oops, a national oops. yeah. now i'm telling you, mistakes happen in courtrooms all the time. judges make them lawyers. make them court reporters clerks. but this one was a national big one. i mean, you hope not to make the mistakes in a forum like that. she did, but she immediately the judge corrected it and said, let's bring them back to allow him to speak. >> okay. so explain why a defendant is afforded this opportunity in federal trials. >> well, basically they want to hear from the defendant because part of the sentencing thinking is are you contrite about what you did? do you want to apologize? what would you like to say in this case? we all know
4:15 pm
the pope is a bit mentally off, so i'm sure his attorneys are thinking, my lord, if he does talk, can we control him? what's he going to say? that's a decision that the pope and his attorneys have to make, whether he's going to apologize. but if he apologize sizes for it, it's going to be interesting to see what the judge does. does she then reduce the 30 years by a couple? i think that would kick up a dust storm. >> yeah, because one of the things she cited at sentencing was his lack of remorse. exactly. >> and that's why i say that's why they let the convicted talk to the court to say, look, i've looked at what i've done. if they feel this way and i'm really sorry for what i did, i've learned basically my lesson in this case, she didn't afford him that opportunity. what i found interesting was right after the sentencing hearing and apparently the attorney general's, the government woke up to it and said, oh my god, she forgot to do this. we better. and they rushed into court and said, you got to redo
4:16 pm
this. the defense objected and said, no, no, no. yeah. they found appeal exactly right. so no, this is an appeal issue. we want to go there, not here. >> yeah. so i mean, but you don't think that this gives the defense some sort of an opening to, to be able to ask for a more lenient sentence when it's all said and done. >> listen, as a defense attorney. yeah okay. you know, you try and drive a truck through that opening. go look, he's remorseful. assuming again, if he can express that remorse. exactly. right. yeah. so they will then ask. all right. let's reduce that a little bit because he has i think the defense i know the defense asked for 14 right. the government asked for 40. and the judge semi-complete revised it. a lot of people look at this and say, well, if it wasn't pelosi he wouldn't have got that much time. i get that in a certain level. but remember, she represents us. she's our government. so it's not her and her husband being attacked. it's really the government being attacked. yeah, right. and that's why she hammered him basically. now you're going for 30. yeah.
4:17 pm
>> okay, michael, back to this idea though. do we even know if depape wants to speak and then you as a criminal defense attorney, do you sometimes advise your client not to not to speak? >> well, i don't know enough about him. i know enough, but not enough that he can be eloquent enough or be concise enough to express remorse because he is a loose cannon. i mean, you've got this guy that did this crime for all sorts of crazy reasons. and by the way, the government is sending a message to people like this going, hey, you even think about doing this, expressing your ideology. we're going to hammer you if you get caught. and we conviction. >> so, michael, you're saying if you have a client that is in this similar situation, i guess my question is, would you advise them to speak and to take that opportunity? i would advise him he should speak. >> and if i felt he was remorseful, i would nudge him along that path. but if i thought that there's no way he can keep it together and it's only going to become worse, then i tell him, no, but that's
4:18 pm
before. now what's he got to lose? she's not going to up the 30, so i probably would tell him, go ahead, have at it. might as well go for it no matter what. >> it would be something if we if we redo the sentencing hearing and he gets his chance to speak and he declines. right, right. >> well, that would be interesting. and it could it could happen. so you don't know. but would i tell him in this case. yeah. i say might as well speak. she's given you 30. she's not going to give you more. right. exactly what about though for the upcoming state trial? i don't get that at all. >> but but i mean, whether he speaks or whether he doesn't, nothing that's happened in this federal trial will impact that. well they could use his statement. >> remember, it's in public. the district attorney's office will have it. when i say i don't understand it, here's the guy that was convicted federally. he's gotten 30 years and you've got the local government and the city for their reasons. i'm sure they have a good one, but i'm thinking as a citizen, wait a minute, we're talking about million bucks spend on the next trial. why are we doing this? he's getting 30. what more are you going to get from him? attempted murder. seven to life.
4:19 pm
burglary is, what, 3 or 4? so i'm not sure i understand, but i'm sure san francisco da's office has a good reason for doing it. i just don't know what it is. i seriously consider going just collapse this case. he's got enough time. yeah. >> all right. legal analyst michael cardoza. okay. really appreciate you coming in to break it all down for us. thanks, mike. thanks for doing it. all right. >> take care. >> okay. it is monday. starting off the workweek with some beautiful weather out there. lots of blue skies and warm temperatures. want to turn things over now to our meteorologist rosemary oroczo for a look at what lies ahead for the rest of the week. >> rosemary. yes, the warm up will continue as we get into tuesday. heather. alex, good afternoon to all of you. we are looking at pretty blue sky over the golden gate bridge. a little bit of a breeze out there. temperatures warmer compared to yesterday as expected, and that northwest flow helping to keep the fog away. at least for now. we do expect to have just patches of fog along the coastline and inside the bay during the late night hours, early morning hours, and that's going to be about it right now.
4:20 pm
fairfield calm conditions a northwest breeze in oakland at 14mph. napa reporting a southerly breeze at 16. temperature wise, we are up by a few degrees over most areas, even by seven degrees for you. novato, the inner east bay by a few degrees. concord and livermore. so where do we stand at this hour? a warm 80 degrees right now for you. concord, as well as brentwood getting closer to the bay. we have 65 in oakland, low 60s in the city of san francisco in mid 50s at half moon bay. so we're in that type of spring like pattern where our temperature span could reach anywhere from 20 to 30 degrees at times 75. still at this hour in rohnert park along the peninsula, 80 in atherton, and one more shift to the inner east bay, where 83 reported in areas over clayton as well as brentwood. so tonight and into tomorrow morning, notice again, mostly clear skies to start the day. just a few patches of fog into the afternoon can get a little bit of fog there trying to develop along the coastline temperature wise for tomorrow
4:21 pm

4:25 pm
times. absolutely. >> i mean, restaurants across the board are struggling. how do you how do you support these black owned businesses here in the bay area with social media and marketing campaigns? and what do you see the impact that that that those strategies has for the businesses in terms of bringing more customers through the door? >> yeah, i mean, awareness is key. if you know, people can't come try your food if they don't know who you are and where you're at. and so essentially that's that's our journey. that's our goal, our restaurants are offering specials and there's everything from african food, to caribbean food. i mean, there's all types of italian food, i think, which is really unique, with marzano and oakland. so, there's really something for everyone to try. and it's a great way to really just explore something a little bit out of your, your community. and kind of just support local the, the local economy as well. >> yeah, absolutely. >> so but you, the restaurants
4:26 pm
you work with, i mean, they, they feel and you've done this for a few years now here in the bay area. they feel like it really makes a difference. and they can they can see it in terms of their bottom line. >> correct. so i mean marketing like you said, awareness is key. so every new customer is definitely adding to their bottom line, we've seen the growth of a few restaurants such as like coco breeze, over the years, gumbo social. he started off as a, farmers market kind of pop up tent, and now he has his own brick and mortar out in san francisco. and so it really just shows the impact that year over year, local dollars pouring into local businesses. these businesses are able to grow, expand, hire more employees, provide more job opportunities. so it really is the gift that kind of keeps on giving. you'll even hear business owners say, 2 to 3 weeks. even after the campaign, they're still seeing new traffic, from, you know, the marketing that we've done. so we just encourage the community to come on out, support, get some
4:27 pm
good local, home cooked food and enjoy yourselves. >> yeah. you know, let's talk a little bit about sort of the landscape right now because, you know, when you look at the restaurant business or the culinary business right now, a lot of businesses are struggling. we have rising costs for food for labor. how difficult is it right now for black owned restaurants and culinary businesses? what are you seeing? >> right. so a lot of the restaurants are really struggling, we understand too, with the new, minimum wage laws in california that really is impacting, businesses as well as just, uptick in crime and things like that, i know one of the restaurants that participated a couple of times, her restaurant was broken into. right. and it's just as a small business owner having to always recover, reopen, those costs take a toll on a small business owner. so every dollar really matters, every dollar that you're pouring into these businesses matter. we don't take any percentage of sales, which is very important to understand. like every dollar
4:28 pm
that the local community spends with the restaurant is staying in that community, we're just here to let you guys know who they are, so you could go spend your dollars, but, every dollar matters, you know, when you talk about inflation, labor to, even just security with the crime rise, you know, it's all important. >> yeah, yeah, they're working with some very, very tight margins when you're in this business. all right, so tell people how they can find out, you know where to where to get that next meal here during black restaurant week and what their options are. >> yeah, definitely. visit our website. black restaurant weeks. com click on bay area. you'll see a list of all the beautiful restaurants participating and some of the specials that they're offering, jollof, kitchen and food. they're doing a great memorial day event on monday, so definitely follow us on social media, find out all the cool things that you can participate in to support these businesses. >> all right. and that's what it's all about, is lifting up these businesses. we appreciate the time. black restaurant week here in the bay area runs through this sunday, may 26th.

4:35 pm
>> the ship was finally able to move after controlled explosions broke up. massive pieces of debris stuck on the boat's bow, and crews are a massive step closer to fully clearing the shipping channel to the port of baltimore. >> despite the fact that people said this could take six and nine months. i'm proud that that we're on track, that by the end of may, we'll have that federal channel open. >> dive teams have also recovered the bodies of all six construction workers killed in the collapse. meanwhile multiple agencies, including the fbi and us coast guard, are still investigating what caused the collision. preliminary findings from the national transportation safety board show the ship had two electrical blackouts hours before leaving port. >> the ship had an emergency generator. it does not power propulsion and without the propeller turning, the rudder was less effective. they were essentially drifting. >> the ship's 21 crew members from india in sri lanka have remained on board since the collision with the boat now docked, it's still unclear when
4:36 pm
they'll be permitted to leave. so far, the white house has earmarked $60 million to rebuild the bridge and urged congress to pass additional funding. but some house republicans have appeared hesitant to do so. in washington, rebecca castor, ktvu, fox two news. >> fighting has been raging in ukraine now for two years since russia's invasion. how is the war affecting ukrainian children? we get a glimpse into their lives through a new exhibit at san jose state. stay with us. the organizer joins us live. >> and the warming trend continues into your bay area. tuesday, i'll have a look at what we can expect d a v w

dozens of colorful drawings and paintings are now hung on the walls of an exhibit at san jose state. the doctor, martin luther king junior library is home to all of these artworks created by children displaced by war in ukraine. it's part of a new exhibit titled children draw war, not flowers. here with me now is doctor yulia gozzard, an assistant professor at san jose state's school of information and organizer of the exhibit. thanks so much, yuliya, for taking the time. why is it important for all of us to see this work, these drawings are,
4:40 pm
material manifestation of the war in ukraine. and, unlike, sources that might be filtered through propaganda, these are concrete evidence of the war. this is what children experience, and this is what children draw. and it's an important source of what is happening in ukraine today, and also what contemporary warfare is all about. >> yeah, the children, the artists in this case are 4 to 16 years old. explain a little bit about what they drew, you can see that younger children, primarily 4 to 9, drew concrete, objects. they drew warfare, war, battle scenes. and they also drew a lot of weapons. this is what is striking about the war, about these images, because these are little children, and they only learning to conceptualize the world through drawings. so what they do is
4:41 pm
