An alleged sex worker accused of a violent attack in San Francisco. Tonight, Community Members demanding action as they say prostitution is an ongoing problem in their neighborhood. This is not an accident. This is not an isolated incident. This is not an issue about sex workers. This is an issue about safety. Outrage in San Franciscos Mission district. Good evening. Im julie julie haener, and im greg lee. San Francisco Police say a woman was arrested for attacking a homeless woman over the weekend. The suspect an alleged sex worker. Neighbors pointing to this attack is just the latest incident involving prostitution on their block. New at ten ktvu, zac sos is live in the city after speaking with a neighbor who filmed the attack, zach. Yeah, and that neighbor is still pretty shaken by what she says she saw unfold just steps from where im standing for months now. She says she and other neighbors have been complaining about the sex trafficking taking place on this block. Now, this latest incident prompting her to speak out. I suddenly heard shouting and swearing and really, like, sounded like a fight. The homeowner asked not to appear on camera, rushing to her window overlooking shotwell street early saturday evening and capturing this on her iphone. I saw them grab this woman by the hair, throw her to the ground, and the aggressor, an apparent sex worker attacking a homeless woman on the street in San Franciscos Mission district at around 5 00. And then at some point, she got up and kicked the woman right in the face, the homeowner calling police, who arrived and arrested a 24 year old woman from fairfield. The victim, taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries for neighbors, its just the latest incident involving prostitution on their block. What happened is not an accident, right before that, there was like one person who was attacked two days ago was another person who was attacked. So this is just happened to be the one. But it was on tape. Neighbor iman farhat and other residents say the problem has only gotten worse since the city put up barriers to deter prostitution along nearby capp street, all the trade moved to shotwell. There are literal traffic jams from the sex trade thats going on here, trevor chandler, a nearby resident and candidate for district nine supervisor, calling on the city to do more to address the problem. I fully support license plate readers. Its a common sense solution that has been provided to city hall, and the neighborhood has gotten no response. A petition launched by farhat demanding the installation of readers in the neighborhood is now signed by more than 200 people. Give the Law Enforcement an additional tools that they could use, because its not reasonable to assume that we can have a cop here all the time. In a statement, the Mayors Office touting the success of recent Police Operations targeting prostitution in the area, adding that moving forward, quote, all options are on the table, including the strategic placement of Public Safety cameras, street and other physical, environmental changes, and of course, increased enforcement as well. What weve heard is we dont have enough staffing. Its not a priority. So my feeling is at least manage it and move it to a nonresidential neighborhood. And we did reach out to supervisor hillary ronens office for comment. So far, weve yet to hear back. Meantime, neighbors say they have been in touch with the victim in all of this. They say that she is recovering, but understandably still very much traumatized by what happened. Greg yeah. All right. Zac sos reporting live for us tonight in San Francisco. Zach. Thank you. San Francisco Police say 216 year old boys are under arrest in the deadly shooting of a 17 year old. The teen was found shot thursday night near the powell street bart station. His name has not been released. Investigators say the two juveniles were quickly identified as suspects in the homicide and arrested the next day. Both were booked at the juvenile justice center. New at ten tonight, workers would have the right to disconnect from their duties during nonworking hours under a proposed state law. San francisco assemblyman matt haneys bill would give the employees the right to ignore communications from their boss when they are off work. The bill would require nonworking hours to be established by written agreement between an employer and employee, and it would allow employees to file complaints with the labor commissioner that would be punishable by a civil penalty. Fast food workers in california received a pay raise today. A new law took effect, setting a 20 hourly minimum wage for workers at large chains. Ktvu Jana Katsuyama joins us live from alameda with a look at the impact. Joanna some workers didnt want to go on camera, but they said they were happy for this pay pay bump. Now californias current minimum wage is about 16 an hour. Some Business Owners say that theyre concerned about whether they or their customers will absorb this extra cost. Fast food workers have to keep up with the fast pace of orders. Now, californias new 20 minimum wage aims to help those workers keep up with the states rising cost of living. A vast majority are adults. About a quarter have children of their own, and the pay is so low right now that one half of all fast food workers in the state are either themselves, or have a Family Member whos relying on one of our social safety net programs. Ken jacobs is cochair of uc berkeleys labor center. He says the new law applies to some half a million employees at chains with more than 60 stores. It creates a new Fast Food Council as well, made up of industry and unions to address future wages and working conditions in the franchise model, we see higher numbers of amounts of health and safety violations, obviously very low wages. Some major chains, including mcdonalds, chipotle, starbucks, jack in the box and shake shack say they will have to increase prices. Alex johnson, who owns ten bay area auntie annes and cinnabon stores, says the timing is terrible. We have soft sales. We have declining traffic counts. This bill, ab 1228, has really hit our operations hard, were no longer hiring. Were not backfilling positions. Another Franchise Group owner, harsh guy, agrees. We did, however, close eight restaurants last year because of profitability issues across the state, and we anticipate closing at least six more restaurants. He is californias largest operator of burger king restaurants, and says franchise owners were left out of the bills negotiations. There were no franchisees and no employers that were actually involved in those conversations, jacobs says. The National Chains easily could reduce fees for franchisees to minimize impact. The ten Largest Fast Food Companies had 6. 1 billion in stock buybacks in 2023. Its an extraordinary amount of money. As for customers, id pay a dollar more to have that. I do think its reasonable, because the cost of living in the bay area is very expensive. Jacobs says that researchers estimate a one time price increase of 3 to 5 likely would cover the costs of this fast food workers pay increase of course, this is something that will be worked out as things progress, but at least for right now, a lot of these workers are very thankful that theyre getting a slight increase. Greg. Yeah, well continue to watch the impact Jana Katsuyama live for us in alameda. Gianna. Thank you. Floridas Supreme Court issued a pair of rulings on abortion today. One ruling cleared the way for the state to ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant. The law includes exceptions for rape, incest and to save the mothers life. The six week ban supersedes a previous law banning abortions at 15 weeks. The justices also approved wording for a measure for the november ballot. It would make Abortion Access a constitutionally protected right. Governor newsom released a statement tonight following the florida Supreme Court decision. He wrote in part today, yet another right was stripped away from floridians through Governor Desantis antirights agenda. Millions of floridians and women in neighboring states with total bans will now no longer be able to access essential Reproductive Health care on their own terms. Governor newsom went on to say that california has the resources and support to help women exercise their reproductive freedom, and for more coverage on the battle over abortion rights in the current status of state laws, head to our website, ktvu. Com. Now to an update on highway one. After part of the road washed out this weekend near big sur as ktvu ann rubin shows us now, emergency crews in Monterey County started escorting a convoy of drivers to safety this afternoon on the stretch of road. Enrique uribe had no idea hed be stuck, but after a job in big sur, this morning, he is. I did not. Not until i was, till i got to here, to the sign, until i got a notification saying, hey, its closed. And im like, oh man. And were like a mile away. Were like, oh well, so here we are, stuck now closed, because this section of highway one, just a half mile from the famous bixby bridge, has fallen away. It happened after a round of wet weather and high waves on saturday. At the present time, were really discouraging any visitors from coming down here until until its deemed safe. State parks in the area are now closed. Campers money will be refunded, but it is a big blow to big sur that had yet to recover from last years landslides and road closures. For the business people, its horrible. Right now, only residents and essential workers are allowed through, and only twice a day at eight and four. Martin hubbs, who lives here, ventured to the Grocery Store in case things get even worse. You never know. Its raining on thursday, so they might just say its too dangerous and boom so i got my tea, my milk, and im set up. Caltrans crews do have a plan for a temporary fix in place. It involves expanding the shoulder and placing 500ft of concrete barriers along the center line of the roadway. No word how long a more permanent fix might take, or how long this inconvenience to drivers might last. Rather be at work or at home than here, caltrans says. The twice a day convoys will go on indefinitely unless theres inclement weather or site conditions change. Near big sur, ann rubin, ktvu, fox two news, and earlier today at four San Jose State University engineering professor Laura Sullivan greene told us slides such as that are part of the geology of the big sur region. We have young rock and soil that is constantly moving from earthquakes and those things in combination with the steep terrain, just lends itself towards these types of movements. And theres only so much that we can do to engineer solutions to prevent these things from happening, she said. Caltrans is likely to look at solutions, including shoring up the coast side cliff, adding retaining structures and additional drainage. Thousands of nurses set to walk off the job and to hit the picket lines tomorrow. Coming up the south bay hospitals, it will impact and why the nurses are striking. Youll need your sunglasses for tuesday, but the day you will need your umbrella. I have the details with your bay area forecast. Also ahead tonight. Name change. Turbulence. Oakland airports plan to add San Francisco to its name. Getting slammed by officials on the other side of the bay. Plus a family in shock tonight after their 80 year old mother suffered a stroke while traveling aboard a cruise coming up at 1030. Their frustration with the cruise line, who they say failed to notify them of the incident offices across Santa Clara County. Hospitals say they will go on strike over Patient Safety and unfair labor practices. Ktvu south bay reporter Lamonica Peters live now in san jose at valley medical center, with more on the three day strike that begins in just a matter of hours, lamonica. Julie. Union Board Members say that their contract expired five months ago. Now they say Patient Safety, Workplace Violence and staffing ratios have led them to the first nursing strike in Santa Clara County. History Santa Clara County is the second largest county in california. Almost 4000 nurses are here, and we need some change. Thats why this strike is happening. Weve got some bosses at headquarters on monday, Union Members and volunteers for the registered Nurses Professional Association were preparing for a three day strike at three of the countys hospitals. Santa clara valley medical center, Oconnor Hospital and saint louise regional hospital. We got water, we got tables, we got bad cows. We got signs. Starting tuesday, about 3800 nurses at Santa Clara County hospitals and facilities will strike until early friday morning. Nurses like Union Board Member malay tol say theyre being asked to perform work practices at multiple hospitals that may put patients and nurses at risk. Some are spinal cord injury icus. Thats a different technique for turning a patient than it is at the icu that im that im familiar with. Im not saying i cant do it, but i would need the proper training. Our npa Board Members say county nurses have been working without a contract since late october of last year. Santa clara county says most nurses received a 13. 3 raise in 2023, and that moving nurses to different locations is a temporary solution, though increased wages are a part of negotiations, nurses say concerns about violent patients, a lack of security and increased patient to nurse ratios are why they voted to strike. When we have a nurse for two patients, she or he can manage that. But once we go from one nurse to five patients, if you have two or more patients pop off of their vent, its a very bad situation. Now, the county says that it has also taken Safety Measures for patients and staff ahead of this weeks strike, and that they are ready to continue negotiations. Julie Lamonica Peters live in san jose tonight. Lamonica thank you. Kaiser permanente is opening a new state of the art genomics lab to provide comprehensive genetic testing. That new lab is located in san jose. Kaiser says the lab goes beyond traditional genetic testing to more complex genomics, offering new possibilities for personalized precision medicine. Kaiser says it will also allow them to increase the number of tests they perform each year. Genomics is the study of all the genes, or at least a large subset of the genes, in our case, in a human and how they interact with each other and how they may interact with their environment. Kaiser says the new lab is larger than the previous facility and is custom built with special robotics designed for genetic testing. New at ten a state Appeals Court has upheld a state law meant to make it easier and faster for cities and counties to build multiunit housing. The 2021 law gave cities and counties the right to rezone some parcels, including those near public transit, for apartment buildings of up to ten units. The aids Healthcare Foundation sued, saying the law was unconstitutional because it could violate voter initiatives. The Appeals Court found the law constitutional because housing is a matter of statewide concern, and because the law was tailored to allow cities and counties to supersede local laws on a parcel by parcel basis.

The 135 Unit Development is near 43rd and judah in the outer sunset. The property will offer 24 studios, 43 one bedroom, 58 two bedroom and nine three bedroom units.

We had a 15 degree temperature span today from the coast to neighborhoods in the north bay. Anywhere from 62 degrees to. How about this, 77 degrees a piece in san rafael and in santa rosa. We were in the high 60s from union city to fremont. Otherwise, everybody basked in the 70s.
