Hike for out of state students amounting to about 28,992 a year in tuition costs. Now, there was some concern about the accessibility and affordability of uc education to all students, however, its seen as a way to provide resources to incoming students. One Spokesman Says putting off the vote until may creates uncertainty for incoming students. Families at the time they are admitted to berkeley wont not cost of attendance. We wont be able to recruit students from out of state if by the may 1st deadline when students have to make their commitment, they dont know how much its going to cost. Reporter Lieutenant Governor gavin newsom was one of the ones to close the meeting a short time ago and is happy about delaying the vote but is concerned about recruiting challenges that the chancellor mentioned moments ago.

Farrell took the oath of office last night replacing london breed who became acting mayor when ed lee died. Ktvus Tara Moriarty spent the day at city hall talking to insiders about this turn of events. Reporter it was a city hall stunner acting mayor london breed out, supervisor mark farrell in. I felt betrayed. Reporter her close ally on the board supervisor malia cohen. Im saying its a back room deal. Reporter a deal most city hall insiders said happened between progressives and farrell who is considered a moderate like breed. There was backlash for replacing the first black female mayor with a white man. I think what you saw last night wasnt, um, so much about elevating one white man, it was about sending a message to another white man, a tech titan billionaire named ron conway that San Francisco cannot be bought. Reporter peskin alleges that conway bullied supervisors into backing breed and it backfired. Did ron conway ever have a conversation with you . Ron conway has tried to have a conversation with me but we have yet to actually meet. Reporter but supervisor jeff sheehy who was considered the swing vote in favor of farrell said it didnt factor into the decision. You cannot concentrate all the power of the city in one office. Thats just not right. Reporter sheehy said he and other supervisors didnt think it was fair for breed to wear two hats, one as supervisor and one as mayor, while also running for mayor in june. I dont have to focus on the campaign trail. Im going to focus on San Francisco for the residents. Thats what they deserve. Reporter breed today appeared upbeat. I think this is going to empower people who traditionally may not get involved in elections. Reporter progressive jane kim and mark leno are also running in the special election and its no secret they wanted breed out to level the Playing Field so to speak. Mark farrell hasnt said who he is endorsing although breed is the only moderate running. Mayor farrell has not yet announced a replacement for his supervisory seat for announced his intentions for the Mayoral Election in 2019. In San Francisco, Tara Moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news.

We have new information tonight on the fight over the immigrants known as dreamers. The president says his immigration plan will allow protections for younger immigrants to, quote, morph into citizens in 10 to 12 years. The president said it, didnt clarify it but he said the full plan is due out next week. The immigrants known as dreamers were brought into the United States illegally as children. There are about 700,000plus living in the u. S. Facing possible deportation. Meantime, the white house has escalated its fight with sanctuary cities including San Francisco, oakland and san jose. The administration sent a letter to local and state officials demanding that they turn over information about the immigration status of citizens or face losing millions of dollars in federal funds. Oakland mayor libby schaaf and San Franciscos former acting mayor london breed both said they will be willing to go to jail to defy the white house over immigration. They were among several local leaders who boycotted a conference of mayors today at the white house. The mayors who choose to boycott this event have put the needs of criminal Illegal Immigrants over lawabiding american citizens. But let me tell you, the vast majority of people showed up. San francisco led a lawsuit against the white house challenge the threat to withhold federal funding. A u. S. District court ruled the demand by the white house was unconstitutional but the legal fight isnt not over. The president just boarded air force one in the past hour heading to the World Economic forum in switzerland. Joining us on the phone is brian sobel our political analyst. I want to start with the davos visit what do you make of that, brian . Reporter well, it is you know, um, one more, um, um, set of meetings, um, that we are, um, watching, um, well have to see where it goes, heather. The daca issue is a huge one. Theres back and forth between Chuck Schumer and the wall and the path to citizenship. What do you make of what the president said is there could be a morphing of 10 to 12 years for dreamers . Ken, first of all, the president has been pretty unclear about what his master plan is around daca. So today we got some clarification. And two important points came out. One is he is suggesting that over a period of ten or 12 years, the young these young people who came in with illegal parents can somehow as he says morph into citizenship so thats big news. The other thing is, that, um, the Daca Recipients, he said, should not be concerned. Thats his words. Not be concerned. His phrase. Not to be concerned. Tell them not to worry about it is what he said in his Media Conference today. And so those are the two big outcomes of what we heard today. Yeah, but brian, do you see this as a breakthrough . I mean, thats what South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham said. He said that he never felt better about the chances of finding a solution on immigration after hearing President Trumps remarks today. Reporter well, heather, the big criticism of the president around this issue has been that he hasnt been clear about what he sees in the daca program in the future and on immigration in general with respect to Daca Recipients. And so today, assuming he sticks with what he says, we heard clarification as to which direction he wants to go and if you will recall during the shutdown of the government the democrats over and over again said it was difficult to deal with the white house on the daca issues because the president had not been clear. Yeah. A lot of dreamers sitting on peninsula and needles for a long time and their families waiting to find out what happens and well see what happens. Thank you, brian. Coming up on ktvu news at 6, 30 the usa gymnastics doctor who sexually assaulted so many Young Athletes learns his fate today with the judge coming down hard on him. You do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again. First San Francisco and other cities on the brink of a recycling crisis. The new regulation that means some items are no longer accepted. And young people in marin rising up after vandals destroy an Elementary School project known as the wall of kindness. New at 6 00 Health Advocates in oakland are petitioning the school board to change district policies after lead was found in water at schools and daycare centers. 1,000 people have signed a petition calling on the board to adopt a policy that follows what the American Academy of pediatrics says is an allowable amount of lead in drinking water. The district currently follows standard set by the epa which allows for more lead than the pediatric recommendations. A School DistrictSpokesman Says the district is working with the Health Advocates to try to address the concerns. A new regulation overseas is changing the way we recycle here in the bay area. Ktvus tom vacar is explains how the change in china is causing a backup of recycled material in our own backyard. Reporter recologys 400 San Francisco recycle trucks bring in 650 tons of material every day and becomes clearly and becomes bales and bales of some of the cleanest materials in the world almost all of which is exported, most of it to china for reprocessing. But as of new years day, china has changed their regulations involving the cleanliness of the materials they import. China is not going to take these bales any longer until we can get those impurities down to 1 . The deadline has passed. The limitations have already taken effect. Reporter that leaves most of recologys materials unacceptable and pretty much every other recyclers. Recology says its bales of cardboard are already clean enough and the chinese take that but they are not taking paper and plastic because it has too much impurities. So thats going to Southeast Asia. But theres only very limited capacity in Southeast Asia and once thats gone, all of this stuff will start piling up at other recyclers. Cities around the globe and the recycling companies that serve those cities are working very hard to find new homes for this material. Reporter thats because the only alternatives are either putting it into landfills or, worse, incinerating it worldwide with the greenhouse gasses that that pumps into the atmosphere that would quickly and substantially raise garbage and recycling fees nationwide. The solution is in every individuals hands. Wash out cans, bottles and jars before throwing them into recycling. The idea is to keep any small food residuals out of the recycling bin and protect the integrity of that recycled paper. Reporter members of congress have and are sending letters to the Chinese Government asking them to reset that deadline to give the nation time to catch up. Its really an effort to do right by the environment and to manage costs for all of us Going Forward to try to push off the day when we need to seek an increase.

They had a cumulated more than 1,000 tags as part of their do good be kind program. But when they returned to school on monday, many of the tags had been ripped down. After they processed and dealt with why they were, um, removed or their anger about the situation, they said, well, were going to fill it back up. The students are slowly filling the fence back up with plastic tags. Novato high school and some of the middle schools in the area are also planning to contribute now to the fence.
