Night calling for the end of the war in gaza. Were live with the latest on what the students are asking the university to do. Then a bay area native is going pro a closer look at the number 13 pick, brock bowers and his napa valley roots. Live from jack london square. This is morning time two. The nine. Today is friday, april 26th. Were looking live at the San Francisco skyline, a little bit of overcast there, a little more sun than we had yesterday. And were going to talk about that weekend weather coming up in just a bit. It might be just a little warmer than weve had in the last few days. Absolutely. Well go and start the nine today on an important College Campus here, all eyes on campuses nationwide and here at home. Student protesters at stanford held a march and rally against the war happening now in gaza. As ktvu erasmus explains, that demonstration continues this morning. Ali with an encampment on the stanford campus. Yes, an encampment. Garcia and also the organizers here say they plan on having a day of what they called program. Some talks, some information sessions , some activities that theyre going to have here for other students. This is all taking place at white memorial plaza. This is tucked away kind of in the center of the stanford campus. And this is where dozens of student protesters spent the night in tents after a march and rally yesterday. We will not stop. We will not rest. This was the last several hundred people marched through the Stanford University campus yesterday, with signs and some Holding Palestinian flags to protest the war in gaza. They are calling on the university to divest from companies with ties to the israeli government. The student protesters tell us that they believe the current conflict in the middle east and their activism for the palestinian cause. They see it as being very similar to the student protests decades ago that called for an end to apartheid in south africa. And they also see a lot of parallels and similarities with other international antiwar causes from previous decades. The biggest encouragement is just to learn, just to read, just to understand the history of israelpalestine and understand more of palestinian culture and understand more of all of these sort of oppressed groups that we dont get taught about in schools. The group here is part of a wave of student demonstrations against the war in gaza that have taken over dozens of College Campuses across the country in recent weeks. Across the bay at uc berkeley, there is a similar setup there with propalestinian protesters whove set up tents at sproul plaza. Now, here at stanford. In a post on social media, some of the protesters shared a copy of this notice the university gave them last night. The notice says that their encampment is a violation of university policy, and that the failure to remove the tents could result in disciplinary action, even so, the students taking part in this demonstration here say they dont plan on going anywhere today. We did see some Law Enforcement officers kind of observing this demonstration from a distance. There was about a half a dozen of them that were taking appear to be taking notes and taking pictures of the people gathered here for this demonstration. We dont have any word yet from stanford as to if or when the university will take additional steps to make the people here move. Live in palo alto. Allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. Allie. Thank you. There have been propalestinian protesters on the campus of Columbia University in new york city for more than a week now. Minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar joined the student protesters, including her daughter, yesterday, the University Says it is in talks with the student demonstrators. Jewish students at the University Say theyre upset that no one is talking about the hostages remaining in gaza. You cant deny what happened. You cant deny that people suffered. You cant deny that our families was there. You cant deny that our friends and families are still fighting to end this war, to, to, to the fighting against the terror organization, the fighting to bring the hostages. Its really concerning. In los angeles, usc is canceling its main commencement ceremony, saying new Safety Measures on campus mean it would not be possible to process the 65,000 people who usually attend the event. Well, new this morning, an investigation by the Associated Press has found that at least 16 people died in california over a decade following encounters with police, during which they were injected with a sedative. Several of the deaths happened in the San Francisco bay area, including two in recent years involving people restrained by the Richmond Police department. Other places with cases include los angeles and san diego, as well as cities in orange and San Bernardino counties. The ap says it was not able to determine the exact role the injections may have played in the deaths. The idea behind sedation is to calm people who are combative, critics say the practice can be too risky. Back to that developing story weve been following all morning here in San Francisco, as crews now have the upper hand on what was for a time, a raging fire that gutted a four story residential building. The two alarm fire was burning on clay street at lyon, not far from the Presidio Branch library, the Fire Department says. When crews arrived, the building was fully engulfed in flames. We spoke live with the captain from the San FranciscoFire Department about the large response and how the weather played a role in the firefight. When firefighters arrived, that wind that you just heard about was pushing smoke for blocks. Heavy smoke, visibility was very low and it was very dangerous for our firefighters in the wind and in the midst. Again, at this point, the fire is for the most part out crews. Theyre still busy putting out any hot spots. No one was living legally in the building, according to the fire captain we talked with, the fire did not spread to neighboring buildings. And boy, thats good news, especially rosemary. When you think about those high winds. And oftentimes buildings are so close to each other, really, its fortunate that nothing worse happened. Yeah, absolutely. You said it gasia with the winds there not only fanning the flames and causing that spread to move faster, we could see embers, you know, of course jump and create new fires. So thankfully that didnt happen. The winds are with us not only right now but expected for the entire day in fact, going to grow stronger into the afternoon. Heres a live look at the golden gate. We started out with mostly cloudy skies. We had a little bit of wet pavement. The scattered showers are moving out, but the wind is moving in across the bay area. Here you can see still partly sunny conditions closer to the coast and just inside the bay and into the sierra. Snow continues here for most of the day with levels down to about 6000ft. So right about lake level we could see a rain snow mix. Although we are above freezing at this point over the lake, this storm is going to move to the east and in its wake the wind is developing already breezy, conditions expected and Even Stronger for the second part of the day. Right now, novato reporting a wind gust to 28. Napa is reporting gusts to 23 over towards the peninsula. Sfo reporting a wind gust to 33. San jose to 24, Half Moon Bay 21 along the bridges for today. Do expect to hold tight to the will probably advisories will be issued by the chp for the wind. Big rock reporting 31. Mount diablo reporting 34 and the color coding on this futurecast model. Pretty much says it all by about noon time. 1 00 widespread red yellow orange across the bay area and some pinks even over our Higher Elevation and closer to the coast in the to the evening hours. It does pull back, but it takes pretty much all day and we are likely to remain with still breezy conditions along the coast and in San Francisco, where San Francisco right now 56 degrees for the inner east bay 56 in walnut creek. Our afternoon highs a little bit below average around the bay. More so for our inland communities. 67 the afternoon high in the north bay of napa, as well as the inner east bay of concord into the extended forecast. The winds begin to die down tomorrow. Tomorrow could be a little breezy, but nothing like today. And our temperatures increase. Low 60s at the coast to low 70s inland on saturday a tad warmer on sunday. The warming trend continues monday into tuesday. Back to you. Thank you.

That comes as a School District reviewed a report that concluded having Police Officers Patrol School campuses doesnt make students feel any safer. What we do see in the question of the perception of safety at school is that over the last three years, we have seen a decline and that that information is shared not only at the student level, but we do see that same sort of decline at both the staff level and the family level. If we dont hold the Mou Committee accountable to draft a Pilot Program that recognizes the current politics of policing within the city of santa rosa and sonoma county, we will continue to disproportionately harm bipoc communities. Four years ago, the four years ago, the School District in santa clara removed Police Officers from all high school campuses. But last december, the board took the first step toward bringing them back following several violent incidents on campus. California lawmakers are considering a bill that would change how homework is assigned to students. The healthy homework act would require School Districts and teachers to consider the mental and physical strain on students. When assigning homework. The bill advanced in the assembly on wednesday. Where does it go from here . Well turn to stanford child psychologist doctor Casey Krieger to help us sort of understand whats at stake. Thanks for being with us. Hi. Thank you for having me. Of course, now its important to say this is not a ban on homework so all the kids can settle down. This is a push to have teachers assign whats being called more meaningful homework. What does that mean to you . So homework is only helpful if children find it valuable and if theyre engaged. And also if its of appropriate duration. So meaningful means to think about the quality and the quantity. More isnt always better. I mean, just days ago my middle schooler said to me, hes hes doing pretty well in spanish, but hes not doing a small part of his online work. I said, just do it. And he said, if i know what it is, then why do i have to do it . And the best answer i could give was life requires us to jump through hoops and the better you jump through them, the more opportunities youll have. And i feel bad even saying it now. Yes, yes. I mean, of course, you know, its a valuable lesson for kids to learn. There are some things that we have to do, but its more valuable for people to feel, you know, fulfilled in the work that theyre doing and feel that its meaningful and contributing to their, their learning and life skills. So lets say there are 30 children in that spanish class, right . Ten of them may be up here, ten of them down here. More kind of in the mushy middle. Teachers are doing so, so much. How do you think a teacher could teach to each level, all in the same amount of time . I think that its important to make some things optional for children that are really, you know, high achieving and want to push themselves and motivate themselves, so giving a variety of lessons and extra work thats available, but not necessarily grading everything thats, thats offered, i see. So the kid with the a may not have to do the duolingo time online every night. But the child whos struggling. We may really check up to see how theyre doing. Lets talk about the Mental Health aspect of this all. What do you see in your practice when it comes to children and homework and burnout . Yes. So were facing a youth Mental Health crisis, about 1 in 5 children in the us have a mental, emotional, developmental or behavioral disorder, rates of anxiety and depression are just increasing over time, rates of Mental Health disorders also increase with age. Anxiety is the most common Mental Health disorder in adolescents, so marginalized groups are also more vulnerable, including children from low income households, as we all know that not all homes are created equal. So some kids have a distinct advantage over others when completing work, right . Not, children. Yeah. Children consider not primary has the internet connection. Not everybody has the laptop. Not everybody has a parent who can sit with them and help them through the algebra or whatever, does this ramp up as a child gets older . Im thinking in particular about that crucial junior year of high school. Definitely, definitely. I mean, the homework load increases and some of that is appropriate. But theres a fine line between whats appropriate and whats too much, so its a problem if homework is interfering with a childs ability to
