Closing a loophole to tackle car breakins, a new law is making its way through the state legislature to do just that. Under current law suspects can only be convicted if prosecutors can prove the car door was locked. This bill closes that loophole by making forcible entry, such as a broken window, enough evidence for conviction. The bill was authored by San Francisco state senator scott weiner. Its cleared its first hurdle and now moves to the Senate Appropriations committee, though similar legislation in 2018 and 2019 both failed to pass committee.

It would give the as the option to opt out after three years, but the team would still owe the city the full amount of the contract. Today the office of mayor sheng thao called it a fair and reasonable offer and they look forward to more discussions, as necessary. We heard from the as before todays meeting. They gave us a statement saying in part, we appreciate oaklands engagement and also we are far apart on the terms needed to agree on an extension. The as are also looking at playing temporarily in sacramento or salt lake city. Across the bay a totally different story, the giants are celebrating their 25th season at oracle park and a roster they have filled with quality players. Today i chatted with giants ceo larry baird at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. Heres what he said about the role the giants play in revitalizing San Franciscos image. Were wearing San Francisco across our chest. We go out on the field every night and day for seven months and feel were representing San Francisco and in some ways that narrative, we think its overblown. There are problems here. They need to be addressed, but all cities have problems. We feel strongly that the neighborhoods are thriving and thats not being portrayed. It all starts here at the innovation economy. Look at a.

For the lives of the people that this will impact.

So a former Kindergarten Teacher named hank wilson decided he was going to make a place for them to go. Reporter wilson took over the lease of the ambassador and turned it into a haven for those wayward travelers. If you found your way into the lobby of the ambassador, they figured out a way to get you a room. Reporter the welcome mat stayed out, even as the aids crisis gripped the city. The ambassador was the only sro hotel that would take in people suffering from hiv and aids. Hundreds of people died here. Five people died in one day. The kind of haven for folks who were suffering from aids that had nowhere to go, literally nowhere to go. Reporter the nonprofit Tenderloin Neighborhood Development corporation took control of the building over a decade ago and just completed a 16 million renovation. Residents like adele henway can now count an affordable and renewed roof over his head.

The data comes from the council on americanislamic relations or cair detailing more than 8,000 complaints of hate crimes, education or employment discrimination and asylum requests. More than 3,500 of those were reported just after the israel hamas war began in october. Cair says this is just the most recent wave of islamophobia. The two other waves happened when former President Trump announced the ban on people coming to the u. S. From predominantly muslim countries and when that policy was put into effect in 2016. Every one of these is a Human Experience and it all points to one very simple conclusion. Islamophobia is baked into american society. It had to exist in the u. S. Prior to october because what october shows us is a switch was flipped and it was back on. Also worth noting, students at uc davis are joining a lawsuit against the university saying the school failed to protect them from antisemitic harassment. Changes are coming to the Railroad Industry to try and stop major accidents. The Rail Industry has been pushing for oneperson crews on trains as a cost cutting measure, but a new federal rule will now require a second crew member on all trains. At an event announcing the new regulation transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg said rules like these are a big step toward avoiding a major accident like the one last year in east palestine, ohio. A second crew member is vital to performing safety functions like securing a train with hand brakes, handling track switches that are not remotely controlled, obtaining track authorities, assisting in emergencies, and much more. The rule does allow for some exceptions on smaller railroads, but operators must first notify regulators and comply with new federal safety standards.

It hit before 5 00 our time. Thats 8 00 a. M. Wednesday morning taiwan time. The epicenter is on the eastern side of the Island Country about three hours south of taiwan. There has been an aftershock of 6. 5. Theres an evaluation if theres any tsunami threat to california or anywhere on the west coast, still getting detail to see if there are injuries or damage, but again, a significant earthquake in taiwan, 7. 4 magnitude earthquake that hit before 5 00 our time. Back in the u. S. , the powerful storm that hit us last weekend is cutting across the country with nearly 70 Million People in its path. The storm has moved into parts of the south and midwest with at least four tornadoes reported in oklahoma and missouri. Some families had to brave the elements to reach safety. In central kentucky thousands were left without power after storms took down trees and power lines. A ton of wind and they both came down and the power line like flicked against my window and sparked. Look at these weather maps here. The storm is headed for the northeast, i believe heavy snow and powerful winds expected what probably now and the days to come . Right through parts of the midwest through tonight and also tomorrow. Janelle, you just reported on the taiwan earthquake. Theres no tsunami threat for the west coast. Japan could see tsunami waves up to about 3 feet. Taiwan could see waves up to 9 feet ranging 3 to 9 feet. Right now locally around that area there is starting to become that tsunami threat folks are unfortunately going to have to watch out for tonight. 7. 4. Big earthquake. That is very, very strong. Back in the bay area we had sunshine today, really nice to get outside and enjoy it. Rainfall is coming our way and fast along with some colder temperatures. Let me show you the changes. The area of High Pressure that brought us warm weather today heads to the east tomorrow. That will allow the next storm system to edge closer. I think heading through tomorrows forecast it youll notice the difference. Well see cloud cover returning along with some fog for the morning. I wanted to make sure to get this in here again. At 7 00 widespread low cloud cover in the morning, maybe drizzle near the coastline. Fog clears back by afternoon, but well still have high clouds filtering across, so not nearly as sunny as it was today. Numbers will be back down to 49 through the peninsula, south bay here at 47. Were also dipping down to 51 in San Francisco and the east bay checking in at 48. Now as we roll through thursdays forecast, thats when the storm system is really going to kick into high gear. Were looking at temperatures dropping another 10 to 15 degrees thursday. Youll see the scrolling seven day at the bottom of your screen. Along with colder temperatures were looking at rain and thunderstorm chances. Lets move it into the rain timeline. I think thursday holds our best overall chance for some rainfall, also snow for the sierra. We could get snow levels as well down to 2,000 to 3,000 feet thursday night into friday morning. A dusting of snow across the bay area mountains, now in april. Just going to feel more like winter here heading into thursday and friday. I think just a spotty chance here as we head into fridays forecast. Rainfall totals on thursday, everybody good for about a quarter inch or less. Some of the mountains could get in on about a half inch and then as we head through friday, most of us a 0. 1inch or less except for parts of the peninsula and the coastline at about a quarter to half inch. Rainfall thursday and also friday. Next thing to fast forward to next week and the Solar Eclipse, im sure youve heard about it. Well give you all the details now. We will actually be able to see things the way the forecast is looking now. This is the deal. It begins next monday 10 14 a. M. Well see our maximum view of the eclipse for us, which will be partial, at 11 13 a. M. The sun will be obscured by 35 here and then the partial eclipse will end for us by 12 15. We are going to be able to get something. The best eclipse path i wanted to show you goes from texas through the midwest and thats where theyll be in that total eclipse zone. Theres going to be some clouds in some parts of the u. S. , but certainly very, very exciting. Here in the sevenday forecast, slight chance of a spotty shower saturday and sunday and then we warm up and get the sunshine back as we roll into next weeks forecast. Im going to get our earthquake tracker and map up. Well take more looks at that coming up tonight at 6 00. Thank you so much, jeff. Up next, the nfl draft is quickly approaching. Our 49ers insider gives us a glimpse what to expect on draft da y. The giants and dodgers continue the threegame series in l. A. Logan webb will pitch for the giants. Blake snell, an update on the newest member of the giants, snell the reigning cy young award winner expected to make his giants debut monday at oracle park when the giants host the nationals. He wasnt able to start the season on time because he agreed to a contract with the giants well after spring training started. He needed some training himself. He did pitch against doublea hitters last week and is expected to pitch in a simulated game tomorrow. Bottom line, blake snell expected to make his giants debut next monday night. The nfl draft is later this month. Heres the Million Dollar question. Who are the 9ers going to pick . Our 49ers insider sat down for the scoop. In our first mock draft you had them say in sims, offensive tackle from georgia. Feels like a popular pick. At least the position. Tell me who did you kind of consider there and why did you ultimately go with mims as the pick of 31 overall . Jordan morgan, offensive tackle from arizona, also was under consideration. Hed been a left tackle. I know trent is year to year now, but its hard to when youre a team this close to winning the whole thing, potentially playing a guy out of position right away, especially one that i think ends up being a good true left tackle or guard in the nfl like jordan morgan. I consider robinson, penn state edge rusher. He has a crazy first ten yards time. Fastest among all edge players and defensive linemen, very, very fast off the ball no, surprise there. Hes definitely got the quickest first step in the draft amongst all pass rushers. Production was a problem, six sacks in two plus years. He basically had a onegame season in 2022, started in maryland, two sacks there, this past year four sacks with penn state, two of them against umass. Not exactly a powerhouse program. Thats the question. Why didnt it come together in the sack department at the College Level and will it come together at the pro level. His teammate isaac also on the radar, had a good day yesterday as well. These penn state pass rushers are ridiculous average. Its crazy. Have one every year or two it feels like. Just that general defensive line depth probably worth considering. You can watch more on nbcsportsbayarea. Com or by downloading the 49ers talk podcast.
