We are students, we are faculty, and we are staff demanding for the csu and Sf State University to divest from all companies and partnerships which actively participate in the colonization and ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people. And University President lynn mahoney responded, youve all been heard. You have been heard. Students called for the university to disclose how Financial Investments are made. President mahoney agreed. Lets have that conversation with our investment, not just a conversation. Lets get something done with both transparency on a website and a conversation about a, our investment policy. Students demanded that president mahoney call the deaths in gaza genocide. Mahoney says she does not support violence or violence against unarmed civilians, but she cannot agree to that demand. I am not the secretary of state, either in dc or here. My job is actually to create the space for content neutral. Thats that democratic process again. So no, as a president of a university, i dont make political statements. Faculty members were on hand to support student activists. We think these are these are really important demands. And our job, as i said, is to support the students and everything that they do and help them out. When the open negotiating session was over, many who were there for the event said they were hopeful. I am very optimistic about how this conversation proceeded. We are again very thankful for president mahoney to come out and have this conversation with us and San Francisco state student leaders tell us they plan on staying in the encampments on campus for as long as it takes.

The group says they were organizing for a peaceful protest. Those protesters were detained and are facing charges. Is conspiracy to commit burglary more misdemeanor section . They will end up going to the sheriffs and be processed, and then they will. After the arrests, hundreds of propalestinian students marched on campus. Eight uc campuses have been dealing with protest encampments, including uc berkeley and uc santa cruz. Only ucla and uc san diego have called Law Enforcement to take them down. 64 people were arrested at uc san diego. Tensions are running high at mit this afternoon. Protesters broke through barriers set up by the school around a propalestinian encampment. It happened after mits chancellor threatened to suspend students who did not leave voluntarily. There were reports of shoving between protesters and police officers. Several faculty members were also among the protesters. All this is happening as uncertainty grows over a proposed cease fire. This morning, hamas said it accepted a cease fire plan brokered by egypt. But israel says the proposal is far from what it wants. Israeli negotiators are heading to egypt to look over the deal. Abc News Reporter josh haskell has more confusion in the middle east after hamas accepted an egyptian qatari cease fire proposal, but israel said the deal doesnt meet its core demands and isnt the same proposal that was under discussion in the terms of the deal are unclear. We want to get these hostages out. We want to get a cease fire in place for six weeks. We want to increase monitoring assistance regardless. As weve said before, we still believe that reaching an agreement is the absolute best outcome, not only for the hostages, but for the palestinian people. And were not going to stop working to that outcome. Cia director bill burns is in the region working to arrange a cease fire in gaza, celebrations in the streets over news that hamas finally accepted a deal, coming just hours after israel ordered an evacuation of 100,000 palestinians from the eastern neighborhoods of rafah. A spokesman for the idf said israel will study hamass latest response, while continuing operations in gaza. On monday, the idf attacked 50 hamas targets in rafah. I see the possibility of israel actually uh down grading its raid into rafah, uh theyve theyve sort of mentioned the idea that thats a possibility, the idea that, well, maybe were not going to take all the rafah, maybe well just hit the, the eastern part of rafah, maybe well just do, pinprick in rafah or something along those lines. Thats a possibility. The fact is, though, that Netanyahus Coalition depends upon some something occurring in rafah. And, that is something that, can be small, big, medium sized. It doesnt really we dont really know the Israeli Hostage Center is urging the government to accept the deal, which they say could bring home the remaining hostages held captive by hamas for seven months. Ucla Professor James gelvin says israel is in a difficult spot. Fundamental you have a Coalition Government that is very unstable and that you have hardliners who are not willing to make any sort of deal at all. So, on the one hand, you have hardliners who dont want to make a deal. On the other hand, you have the hostage situation, which is a very popular cause in israel. Josh haskell, abc seven news.

Members of the team are trained to deal with Mental Health calls and wellness checks. Abc7 News Reporter ryan curry spoke with city leaders who say this is helping police. This van and the team that uses it have been going around antioch for one year. In that year, theyve been fairly busy. They average about 500 calls a month.

Most of the time they are responding to Mental Health calls with the citys unhoused. Our main focus is going out into community, 911 a low response emergency calls where we focus on deescalate ation mitigation, deescalation, we saw them as Police Called them to check out an encampment. We just made touch base with everybody there to see what they needed. And if they needed medical, if they needed some kind of resources. And then the majority of them just wanted something to eat on and some water. Now the mayor wants to expand this program instead of just one large van. He wants at least two, along with more trained staff. But in order to get it, he will need around 2 million to fund it. Those in the community are desperate for an expansion.

No. So let them use the money to build the city back. 500 calls for the Community Response team means fewer calls for the police, and sometimes they do show up to scenes together. But if you ask the crt, they say there is a big difference between when they show up to a call and when police show up to a call. Some people love to see us.

The fact had never been done in San Francisco , you know, was celebrated by all of Northern California for and that was the first step in the three and five years. And, you know, that was a special place in time. And, and looking back, i remember the parade and how emotional that was. I couldnt believe the turnout.

Coming up, the mayor of San Francisco says the city has reached a mayor london breed says a number of homeless tents counted by the city has fallen to a five year low. Abc seven News Reporter cornell bernard has details and why some advocates for the unhoused are not impressed. Im noticing. Ill tell you that i am noticing. Mayor london breed hopes. Others are noticing two fewer homeless tents around San Francisco. Weve seen a 41 reduction in tent encampments and structures on the streets of San Francisco. Breed says the latest tally in april counted 360 tents and structures, down from 609 10 counted in july of 2023. She says its a five year low. Im very encouraged by what this means for our city and looking forward to more momentum around getting people off the streets and getting them housed, but more importantly, not allowing those who refuse service to continue to take over the streets of San Francisco. I think in general, the city is moving in a positive direction. Lucien shimkovitz says he has seen a change. I have noticed that there are fewer tents, others not so much. Only when theres a visitor, a head of state from another country. Thats the only time these streets have been cleaned. The new data comes amid the citys ongoing battle with a coalition on homelessness over encampment clearing protocols, during which a federal judge issued an injunction which sets guidelines for the citys approach to clearing camps. The city continues to focus on tents. Those arent human beings, the coalitions executive director says the citys effort is flawed. Having a big operation with the police, where youre just pushing people from block to block, that ends up exacerbating homelessness and making it more difficult for folks to get off the streets. It also wastes money that could be spent on on actual solutions. Friedenbach says some unhoused folks dont want shelter or assistance from the city. Its still unclear how an Upcoming Supreme Court ruling on how cities clear homeless camps could impact the citys effort. Here. I hope we dont go backwards because we need we have laws on the books and we need the ability to enforce those laws. In San Francisco. Cornell, bernard abc seven news. All right.
