Response. Now at six, students protesting at universities across the country, the rising tensions as police clash with students and how some of the countrys top leaders are getting involved. We are doing so much work to support and uplift this community, and the day time has gotten much better, even though we know theres a lot of work that needs to be done, but the night time needs to improve significantly. A bold new plan to clean up San Franciscos tenderloin by forcing some businesses to close earlier. Now were hearing from mayor london breed about that idea and another explosive day in court for donald trump. What a former confidant is revealing about the secretive business agreement he had with the former president. Good morning. Its wednesday, april 24th. We want to start with a look at our weather. Much cooler. Yeah. And cloudier this morning with some drizzle too. Out there. We have a pretty deep marine layer to kick off our wednesday. You can take a live look at the exploratorium camera. And this is a similar view across the entire bay area. We have those overcast skies and its one of those days where the sunshine will be very slow to break out this afternoon, and temperatures will be below average today. Right now, most of us are holding in the 50s and it will be a morning where we stay in the 50s. That jacket, your best accessory this morning it will be after about 1 or 2 p. M. We start to see some areas get into the 60s for our temperatures. So looking at the day planner today, as you say hello to san rafael in the background we have cloudy skies, some drizzle along the coast right now, partly sunny midday. Were still dealing with a pretty deep marine layer even around lunchtime the afternoon well see some breaks in that cloud cover, but its just a cooler afternoon. The coast staying in the 50s all day today away from the coast, will go into the 60s for daytime highs. Only 65 in oakland today, 63 in the city, 69 in san jose, a high of only 65. In napa. Reggie thanks drew. Were tracking the propalestinian protest disrupting College Campuses across the country today. House Speaker Mike Johnson will travel to Columbia University in new york, where one of the largest protests is happening. Hell be meeting with jewish students to talk about antisemitism on campus. That meeting comes as the university extends a deadline for hundreds of students occupying columbias west lawn to reach a deal to clear their encampment. Activists have been protesting the Biden Administrations response to the israelhamas war for a week. They want the university to divest from companies with ties to israel and to increase financial transparency. Its the same demand students occupying campuses across the country are also making tense moments with Campus Police at Cal Poly Humboldt monday night. Protesters are still barricaded inside a building after officers tried to force them out. The whole campus is closed until tomorrow as School Leaders negotiate with the group. The protests are happening here in the bay area to 300 propalestinian activists staged a demonstration at stanford on monday, according to the stanford daily. The solidarity walkout was to show support for the Palestinian People and protesters at other colleges. Weve been tracking this protest at uc berkeley for several days now. The number of tents outside in sproul plaza continues to grow. Theyre calling it the free palestine camp. The students say they are willing to risk expulsion and arrest. Cal officials hope to keep it peaceful if the protest doesnt disrupt university operations. That will be one situation. If it becomes disruptive, it begins to interfere with the rights of others. The rights of students who want to attend class. And that will dictate a different kind of response. What i anticipate is what happened at columbia, where they gave them a 24 hour notice of the charges, the student conduct charges they would receive. After that, they called in nypd. I expect the same to happen here. A University Spokesperson said. Uc berkeley has no plans to change its Investment Policies or practices. Tensions have run high on campus for months now. Last month, jewish students held a rally demanding the university enforce policies equally and ensure jewish students feel welcome on campus. Classes wrap up next week with final exams the week after. This morning. San Francisco Mayor london breed is talking about her latest plan to crack down on drug sales and other illegal activities in the tenderloin. So she wants to d other businesses that wouldres impact the area that you see on this map between ofarrell and mcst and from polk to jones. Abc7 News ReporterGloria Rodriguez is here with a look at the plan. Gloria, the mayor is calling this a new solution. Good morning. Reggie. Yeah, the idea is to try to stop drug related crime at night. Mayor london breed wants to require smoke shops, Liquor Stores and Corner Stores to close early. Essentially, there would be a curfew for these businesses in some parts of the tenderloin between midnight and 5 a. M, a 1,000 fine would be imposed for every hour that the business stays open past midnight. Some say when people gather outside certain tenderloin businesses that stay open late, there is trouble. When we looked at the data around some of our kind of corner store operations, we discovered that that was where we had the most problems, especially at night. So this comes after looking at the data, talking to residents and proposing this as a possible solution to help address the challenges we have in the evening. So i was not worth the headache for me to open late for business. They open late like 3 00, 4 00 in the morning. I dont think thats a good idea, because the only people going at this time at the street, people looking for trouble. That was edna romani. Hes the owner of underground gift and smoke shop, which closes at 10 00 pm on weekdays. And he agrees with the mayors proposed curfew. But some say a curfew is not the answer to curbing drug related crimes, saying that a curfew would Impact Business owners and also customers such as restaurant workers and kitchen staff, who often stop by late at night after work. The San Francisco board of supervisors, still has to approve that curfew. Live in the studio Gloria Rodriguez, abc seven news. Thank you. Gloria new at six a Memorial Service for Oakland Police officer jordan wingate will take place this friday.

Berkeley police say its more important than ever for people to call them when they see crimes in progress, instead of trying to confront the suspects more and more. They say the people who commit property crimes like car thefts are armed and ready for violence. The San Francisco chronicle reports berkeleys warning was issued during a recent meeting of the Berkeley Police accountability board. Police cited two recent incidents in which car theft suspects fired shots. No one was hurt in either incident. Theyll soon be 500 new cameras watching as you drive around san jose. The city is expanding its network of license plate cameras. Police say their existing cameras have helped catch a group of people breaking into cars and suspects in other crimes. Neighbors in East San Jose told us the cameras will make them feel safer in the neighborhood they love. Weve had shootings, weve had murders, weve had, auto theft. We had tons of crime. So the quality of life issue that we need in the east valley, thats what this is helping us. This is helping us with. There are some privacy questions with these cameras.

Abc seven news continues to follow. Former president Donald Trumps criminal trial in new york. The judge at any time could issue his ruling on whether trump violated the gag order in his recent posts and comments about people involved in the trial, one of those alleged violations was in his speech outside of the courtroom on monday. He railed against his former lawyer, michael cohen, a key witness for the prosecution. Trump made similar comments in an interview with our sister station in philadelphia. Michael cohen is a convicted liar and hes got no credibility whatsoever. He was a lawyer and you rely on your lawyers. The defense claims trump is only responding to political attacks he could face thousands of dollars in fines if the judge rules he violated the gag order. Jail is unlikely. 609 were taking a look at live doppler seven, along with satellite low pressure anchored off the Southern California coastline this morning, has brought cooler weather and also pretty deep marine layer.

Coming up, why prosecutors from the original trial are now getting involved and automatic cash refund. The new action from the Biden Administration aimed at protecting you. The airline passenger. And weve already told you pandas are coming to San Francisco. But its not exactly a done deal. What needs to be done before the are firing back. They say the convicted killers request for new dna tests are unnecessary. The District Attorney in Stanislaus County just filed that new paperwork in court. Petersons defense team, the los angeles innocence project, is asking for the dna testing. The prosecutors say peterson filed a motion and had dna testing done in 2013 and again in 2019, and neither time did it reveal anything new. I think what the prosecution is saying here to the public and to the court is we got this right. Scott peterson did have a fair trial, and nothing that can be done now is going to change the outcome of what that jury decided, because the evidence was so overwhelming as to his guilt. The prosecution spent much of the new 337 Page Court Filing outlining how peterson repeatedly lied about his involvement in the death of laci and their unborn child, conner, more than 20 years ago. They say those lies outweigh the need for any additional dna testing. The next hearing is for is set for the end of the uh the end of may, i should say that should give us a good indication whether petersons attempt for a new trial actually has a chance. New. This morning you could get a cash refund if an Airline Changes or cancels your flight. The Biden Administration taking new action to protect airline passengers. Automatic cash refunds when a flight is canceled for any reason or is delayed by more than three hours for domestic flights, more than six hours for international flights. If the airline your airports adds connections, downgrades your seat, or even changes the plane to one less accessible to people with disabilities, those are all new reasons for cash refunds. And if your checked bags arent delivered within as little as 12 hours or your wifi doesnt work on the plane, youre entitled to refunds there, too. You should get that money back within seven business days. Airlines have six months to put these new rules in place.

Were learning more about exactly what its going to take to bring a couple of chinese pandas to San Francisco. Mayor london breed has introduced a resolution to the board of supervisors, which would allow city departments to start fundraising to support the plan. San francisco has had its challenges, and we need joy and pandas represent joy. So i do think its important for us to really focus on the positive about this. The Chinese Government agreed to allow the San Francisco zoo to host a pair of the bears next year, as part of the countrys panda diplomacy program. The deal is contingent on construction or renovation of a panda enclosure at the zoo. The exact cost of all that is still unclear, but the mayor says it will be fully funded by donations.

Well, reggie, there are mixed feelings about this one man who owns a smoke shop in the tenderloin says they already closed at 10 p. M. On weekdays, and he agrees with the mayors proposed curfew.

A massive 95 billion foreign aid package is heading to President Biden for a final approval. This bipartisan win comes after months of tense infighting that threatened to split the republican party. We tell our allies, we stand with you, we tell our adversaries, dont mess with us. We tell the world we will do everything to defend democracy in a way and our way of life. The package comes eight months after President Bidens initial request for emergency foreign aid. Hes expected to sign the bill today. Another major component of the package is a possible ban on tiktok in the us. Under the legislation, tiktoks Parent Company bytedance will have nine months to sell the app and a possible three month extension if a sale is in progress. The bill would also bar the company from controlling peoples algorithm, which feeds videos based on users interests. Americans would not be able to update or download the app if bytedance does not sell by the deadline. For years, lawmakers from both parties have expressed concerns. Tiktok gives chinese authorities access to us user data. Theyve not been in the classified briefings that congress has held, which have delved into more deeply some of the threat posed by foreign control of tiktok. Tiktok denies claims that its a Security Threat and plans to fight the ban in court. A warning on the alarming toll Artificial Intelligence is having. Researchers at stanford say Law Enforcement is not ready to handle the surge of child sex abuse images generated on the internet, and theyre worried it will stop investigators from helping real children who need to be rescued. Abc seven News ReporterLauren Martinez asked researchers what needs to happen to fix the situation. Is there any pictures of this girl on his, facebook . An influx of online child sexual abuse material is a rising concern for Law Enforcement. A new Stanford Report examines the strengths and weaknesses of the online child safety ecosystem. Its not just that Law Enforcement are overwhelmed with the volume of reports, its that they feel like they arent able to accurately prioritize among reports for investigation. They feel like they cant figure out which report is most likely to lead to the rescue of a child who is actively being abused. The organization, National Center for missing and exploited children, has a cyber tip line. Its a tool for members of the public or companies to report online child sexual exploitation. But many of the tips received are incomplete or inaccurate. Many platforms are submitting cyber tip line reports that show a meme, and the meme technically meets the definition of child sexual abuse material, so platforms are required by law to report it, these are typically images that people are sharing out of, like poor comedic intent. According to the centers data, nearly half of all reports made to the cyber tip line in 2022 were considered actionable Law Enforcement might look at an image and not be able to tell if its an ai generated image or an image of a real child who has not yet been identified, who needs to be, who needs to be rescued. And so thats just going to overwhelm and already overwhelm and overwhelmed system. San jose state associate professor Bryce Westlake says as ai generated images become more realistic looking, its going to become more of a problem if theyre spending time trying to determine if this ai generated content is a real victim. Its taken away their limited resources that they already have to rescue real children that are being abused. Challenges. Once an image gets out there, you cant do anything to get rid of it. And with ai generated content, it means that tons and tons of brand new images are being created every day. Ncmec tells us with the complexity of reports evolving, they will continue to improve their cyber tip line in the south bay.
