The action, they say, needs to be taken to bring about change. This is today in the bay. Hey, good morning to you. On this thursday. Hey, hey, hey, look, thanks for making us a part of your morning. Im marcus washington, and im kris sanchez im in for laura garcia. I dont know if you guys saw her Instagram Story yesterday. I mean, usually shes like silk and thats exactly what she sounds like. But shes watching today in the bay. And were glad that you are, too. Morning, laura. Lets take a look at that forecast with carrie and big changes. Yeah, we are going to have some big changes ahead for the weekend. Today its the same weather we had yesterday, so its going to be a pretty nice one. Were taking a live look at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and right now its 53 degrees. Its all clear. Well see those temperatures going from low 50s to upper 60s by lunchtime, and its going to be a really comfortable day, but still pretty windy as our high heads for 68 degrees, well see a high of 75 in oakland and some upper 70s for the tri valley to the south bay. Well talk about the big drop in temperatures and rain in our weekend forecast in a few minutes, but mike, we already have a crash on highway four out of brentwood. We have here highway four right around fairview. So its not presenting a major issue, but it was on the grid then just as i prepare this report coming to the studio, we hear about another crash on a highway four. This is opposite your commute. Its eastbound coming into bay point out of concord, and its on the shoulder. No major injuries for either of those. No major impact to your drive. Look at this. Green sensors all about even. Lets show a little bit of a change out of the altamont pass. And thats pretty typical for the first build. Well see. Back to you. All right, mike, thank you. Well, we start out with that breaking news coming out from ucla. This is where chp is moving in to clear out those propalestinian protesters from the encampment. Now heres a live look at the tense situation which started unfolding around three this morning. Weve heard a lot of shouting. Weve heard a lot of flashbangs or Something Like that. Law enforcement removing the barricades. Theyre removing tents and the gazebos that have been there for days now, and officers throwing those flashbangs, triggering dozens of explosive rounds you might have heard just a few moments ago. Now, in some cases, theyre also scuffling with protesters who defied warnings to leave or face arrest. Our affiliate, knbc, has several reports on the ground at ucla as that dismantling effort gets underway, still locked arm in arm. And its a matter of how theyre going to actually get them to unchain themselves. And one by one, pull them into custody as they continue to try and negotiate with these people. As eddie toast to the right, look at the number of chp officers pulling down the remaining walls of the exterior of this encampment, look at the number of Law Enforcement. And when i say Law Enforcement again, chp lead investigator, leader, agency here, chp officers going in and moving these people out there were busses waiting to haul away the demonstrators as an effort to dismantle the protest began, the encampment was declared unlawful just last night. Now a much different scene right here at home in the bay area. Here is live. Look over at Stanford University. The university is threatening protesters with suspension. However, the demonstration along with similar ones at uc berkeley and San Francisco state, have not resulted in violence or arrest. But as you just saw there at ucla, thats not the case everywhere. Tensions are continuing to boil over amid campus unrest as protests pledge to keep up with their fight. So now congress is getting involved today in the bays bree jackson joins us live from washington. Bree. Lawmakers are talking about taking some action. Thats right. Good morning. So with bipartisan support, the house did pass a bill last night to expand the definition of antisemitism for the Education Department to enforce. But some lawmakers are raising concerns that the broad definition would threaten free speech on College Campuses. So the bills prospects in the senate are unclear. As nationwide protests continue, colleges and universities grapple with how to handle growing tensions over the war in gaza. House republicans got a first hand look at an encampment at George Washington university wednesday. Were seeing these protests spring up all across the united states. Were hearing from jewish students that they dont feel safe across the country. There are concerns about outside agitators interfering with peaceful demonstrations. I noticed some of them were students. Their faces did look familiar, and there were certainly people there who were not students. They almost seem like professional burglars, which made it even more scary because they dont have anything to lose. The Biden Administration says it supports lawful protests and condemns hateful speech. We are also going to call out any type of antisemitism that we are hearing, that we are seeing the hate propalestinian protesters are standing firm. We plan to be here until our demands are met, no matter what domestic and Foreign Policy challenges taking center stage on campuses and on capitol hill. And in response to the propalestinian protests, republicans are also seeking to launch investigations into antisemitism on College Campuses back to you. Thank you. Bree. Again, we are so grateful that the protesters here in the bay area have remained largely peaceful. Well check in with you later. 506 right now and happening today, maybe more stress than usual for parents with kids on their way to college today is the deadline to apply for state Financial Aid today in the bay bob redell live for us outside of one of the east bay high schools out there. And bob, this cap, this is californias edition of the troubled fafsa application, which this year has already added so much stress there for those high school seniors, pretty much everywhere. You are correct. Good morning to marcus. If youre, lets say, a Senior High School like the one behind me, or lets say youre already in college, you might qualify for state aid like cal grant or middle class scholarship to apply california uses the new fafsa if youre hoping for that state help. Today is the last day to push send on that application. Now, the rollout of the new fafsa application, as you mentioned, was a debacle. What was supposed to be a simplification of the application process was held up, held up the students Financial Information at colleges and universities need to decide when theyre trying to figure out who should get Financial Aid and how much. In fact, some colleges and universities just started getting students Financial Information. Now, months after they usually do. That means a lot of students for whom Financial Aid can make or break their college dreams. They are now in limbo in the meanwhile, acceptance letters have gone out and the deadlines to accept are looming. We talked with cal state east bays associate vp for Financial Aid, who said do not commit until you know what you can afford. If you have not received your Financial Aid package yet and you are coming to the deadline to decide, what i would suggest that you do is contact your your Admissions Office to the colleges that youre applying to ask for additional days until you can get all of the necessary information that you need to make the decision. Some schools already extended their deadlines because of the fafsa trouble. The fafsa trouble students now have until may 15th to declare their intention to register at san jose state, ucsf, and uc berkeley. June 1st is the deadline for San Francisco state and cal state east bay. While today is the deadline to submit the fafsa application for those state grants i mentioned, you or your students will have until june 30th to submit the application for federal aid reporting live here in dublin, bob redell today in the bay. Its been such a frustrating time. Thank you very much, bob. We have some sad new details in a recent east bay home fire. One of the victims now has died from his injuries. This happened eight days ago at 61st and Martin Luther king way. A total of three men were pulled from that home. A Security Guard spotted the flames and stopped to help. He pulled one man from the house with the help of two others who had escaped the flames. Both of those men are still recovering well. Animal cruelty. Animal control teams. They are finding a south bay homeowner. This is for possessing much more than the allowed number of chickens. Yeah. Police yesterday confirming with officers that they helped execute a warrant. This is at a home on vine and floyd streets in san jose. While following up on that neighbors complaint in the backyard, they were actually able to find some 75 chickens, hens and roosters. The city only allows up to six chickens without a permit. Roosters are illegal. Homeowner now has one week to remove the birds from the property. It is 510 now. Taking a live look over san jose. It seemed like a pretty mild morning, but carrie, we know changes are coming because youve been warning us. Yeah, its coming for the weekend, but we are still able to enjoy the nice weather today and its a cool start and also kind of mild with our temperatures going from upper 50s at 8 00 in san jose to seeing some mid 70s will be at 75 degrees at noon into the early afternoon. Well see the comfortable weather, but its also going to be windy at times. Take a look at our hour by hour wind gusts forecast. Were in a lot of our inland valleys. Its going to be a light wind, but along the coastline were still going to see those 30 to 40 mile per hour wind gusts into the evening. And well talk about the colder air coming in. Mike, youre seeing hopefully a drop in those numbers too. You know, were seeing a little bit of a change. I saw a couple of my landmark spots, but theyre not the lowest. So lets check livermore first. Well head out to the old first street area for the enticing for 65 cash price at foxy gasoline and in the south bay, san joses got 479 at a few spots. Were going to highlight that low price right there. 479 gas and shop on mckee road. And then moving to the north bay. Its 489 in larkspur at marine gas. Thats on the bottom here on magnolia avenue. Im also pointing out gasbuddy. Com. Thats where you can report those prices. Share them or get some tips. Folks out on the roadways a smooth drive. We know that slowing will be there out of the altamont pass. No problems for vasco road despite the couple of crashes. We first let off with on highway four, theres not really any slowing and no major injuries and no blockages for highway four. Vasco, as we talked about at speed 580 is just fine and the bridges move smoothly. Theres the bay bridge. Back to you. Thanks mike. Some major artists are returning to tiktok next on today in the bay. The reason you will once again hear your favorite artists on the social media app. And they say a diamond is a girls best friend. But what kind of diamond . Plus. Please let me in know. Oh look. Time to become an adventurer. Are you saying like . Well, were going to tell you how you can stay in the flying house from up. Oh, yeah. Im quickly becoming that man. Oh, stick around, well talk about that. Two youre watch in antioch, where we start out at 64 degrees, nice sunshine, and as we go throughout the day, were going from mid 70s at noon to low 80s for the middle of the afternoon. Its going to be another warm day with some breezy winds, but a major weekend cooldown is coming our way. Well talk about that coming up in a few minutes. All right. Were looking over here at san rafael. Southbound. These taillights head over the hill and eventually across the Golden Gate Bridge without interruption, without slowing. Well show you how things are shaping up, though. Kerry talked about the temps in antioch, and im watching the traffic. Thats where things tend to start. Well good morning. Very happy thursday. We get the big jobs report roughly this time tomorrow. Amazon said it made 143 billion in revenue in three months, powered especially by its cloud computing. So thats about a billion and a half per day 60 some Million Dollars an hour that amazon is doing in revenue. Tesla stock down for the second straight day after that company laid off most of the people working on its supercharger network. And now were hearing from college kids who are saying their internships have been canceled. This young man from ohio says he got two messages from tesla in a day. One had his airplane tickets to go to work, and then a few hours later, a notification the internship offer was gone. We reached out to tesla for comment about their internship program. Some of the google employees who are fired after holding a sit in over the war in palestine, have filed a formal complaint with the National Labor board. They say their protest was peaceful and nondisruptive, and indeed some of the fired employees say they didnt actually take part in the sit in google says it went over video and other records carefully to identify employees who it says acted in a threatening and disruptive manner. Now, the National LaborRelations Board is a bit old fashioned. You cannot obtain a copy of the complaint online, but we have asked that they mail us a copy under the freedom of information act, so well have more detail later. The federal open Market Committee did as expected, left Interest Rates alone at the conclusion of their two day meeting yesterday. Rates have not changed since july of last year. At one point, wall street rallied as chair jay powell indicated its unlikely theyll raise rates further. But theyre not cutting either. Weve stated that we do not expect that it will be appropriate to reduce the target range for the federal funds rate until we have gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2. So far this year, the data have not given us that greater confidence. Now chris and marcus, i learned something this morning reading over the Financial Reports from pandora jewelry. First of all, theyre the largest maker of jewelry in the world. Who knew it announced a couple of years ago, would no longer use mined diamonds in its jewelry and instead uses lab grown, which are every bit as much a diamond as the real thing or the thing pulled out of the ground. Same carbon structure, same everything. The company says sales are up 10 at a time when other Jewelry Companies are struggling, and it attributes the decision to go with lab diamonds as one of the factors. Now, Scientists Say theyre identical in every way, the way you can tell a real diamond is its not as nice as the lab diamond because it contains flaws and, you know, yeah, yeah. I mean, they say the jewelers will say theyre like birthmarks, you know . Yes, exactly. Each diamond has its own unless its grown in the lab. And then its perfect. Wow. But does this make the real diamonds even more expensive . No, it makes them less expensive because theyre just that many more diamonds out on the market. Okay, it seems like theres a lot of our younger people are so socially conscious that they just dont want to deal with the conflict issue. Yes. And there are conflict diamonds, but all diamonds and gold and silver and other mining tend to have, you know, labor situations that we would not be in favor of our cell phones. That too. Yes rare earths. Yes. All right. Thank you, scott. I mean, ill take any kind though. Yeah. If youre asking a tiktok users will wake up this morning with new access to the music of some of the worlds biggest pop superstars. That is because the social media giant buried the hatchet with universal music group, ending a feud over rights fees with a new licensing deal. This means the music of artists including drake and olivia rodrigo, one of my favorites, will once again be seen and heard. The stalemate lasted for months, starting back in january, but many users seem to suggest the ban was kind of hard to enforce. All right. Trending this morning, no doubt if you shed a tear while watching Disney Pixars up movie , youre not alone. No youre not. But you know what . There are a lot of people who never saw the movie like me, but we want to talk about it because some people pack the tissues like you were talking about. But there is a chance to stay in that home. And i want you to take a look at this. So look at this. So airbnb offering customers a chance to stay at the house. This is modeled after the one featured in the iconic animated movie complete with thousands of balloons. Its located in new mexico, and the Company Actually built this from the ground up. It is one of ten iconic stays airbnb is offering now as part of a new promotional campaign. Other locations include a stay at the Ferrari Museum in italy, an evening with Comedian Kevin Hart and his members only lounge, as well as the xmen mansion recreated in new york. Airbnb will award more than 4000 winners Golden Tickets to stay at the locations over the course of a year. That is pretty neat, but all i want for my airbnb is that its clean and safe. Yeah. And affordable. Yeah, yeah. Like i have. My bar is pretty low. But if you get the up house, can you, like move it to where you want it right there on the beach i dont know. Yeah i think they have a crane is what. Yeah. Yeah. You can see its like kind of hanging. Thats why its up. I hope you better take your dramamine, but hope
