Lets get to a developing story weve been watching for you in concord. Here. Fire crews are at the scene of a massive overnight fire. The fire started around 10 00 last night at a building on sunset and east street. Firefighters say they got right to work. When they arrived to leaping flames. Took over 2. 5 hours to put the fire out, in part because the roof and wall started collapsing. Now were told the building was empty at the time, had been empty for several years. Crews are still at the scene this morning looking for hot spots and a cause of the fire. Our allie rasmus will have another live report coming up in about half an hour. Shes tracking the investigation. All right, guys, were also following developing news from san Franciscos Bayview district.

Were not sure the police placed crime tape outside of several of the buildings there. Right now. Were still trying to get more information from San Francisco police to bring you the latest information about all of this Police Activity from last night. San franciscos mayor wants to spend more than 300 million to improve the city. Nearly half of the money would go toward medical clinics. Ktvu james torres in studio now to explain the bond measure proposed by mayor london breed and w gasia,0 million. Mayor breed says the plan tackles four different categories. The city really needs. But 167 million of those dollars is meant to expand and strengthen public health. Heres what the mayor hopes to do. That money would renovate and expand the chinatown health clinic. Its an 88 bed hospital which handles more than 10,000 patients a year, 80 of whom speak a language other than english. Part of the cash is also being proposed to add 65,000ft s of seismically safe space at sf general hospital, a Medical Center well known for its seismic infrastructure. Finally, the bond hopes to increase capacity at Psychiatric Emergency Services at laguna honda hospital and also ensure recertification. It was just two years ago when state regulators stripped the hospitals medicaid certification and threatened its closure. But last year, the state approved laguna hondas recertification and allowed it to stay open. Mayor breed, saying in a statement, quote, we are working every day to make San Francisco a vibrant and healthy city. This bond will invest in our Critical Infrastructure and advance projects that create jobs and prioritize important civic needs. The bond measure as a whole also allocates money to improve streets, crosswalks, pavements. It also looks to address homelessness and sponsor public spaces like the harvey milk plaza in the castro. The citys Capital Planning committee needs to okay the measure before the board of supervisors take it up for a vote. If it passes those two hurdles, then it will go to the November Ballot and voters in San Francisco will make the final call. Garcia, james. Thank you. Walmart walmart has announced its closing all of its Health Care Clinics nationwide. The company says operations were not profitable amid rising costs and a challenging environment.

Gasia time now 705 new this morning from new york city, a judge just warned donald trump to stop violating a gag order in his criminal trial, or hell be arrested and put in jail. The judge overseeing trumps socalled hush money trial said the former president violated that gag order. Nine times and ordered trump to pay 1,000 for each violation he says the former president is not allowed to talk about witnesses, about members of the jury or others connected to his trial, that trump continues to say hes only exercising his right to free speech. Well a 13 year old boy in england was killed during a sword attack and several other people were hurt. Police say in london that a man wielding a sword went on a rampage near a train station. A 36 year old man was arrested after Police Responded to reports of a vehicle being driven into a house. Two officers are recovering from stab wounds to other people were also injured. Police say the incident is not being treated as a terror or targeted attack. Our time now 706 around the country demonstrations, protests and encampments on College Campuses against the war in gaza keep growing. And that includes right here in the bay area. At sonoma state university, an encampment was set up on friday, and it grew over the weekend at stanford. A protest also continues to grow, despite the words of School Administrators telling students theyre violating University Policies. And at cal, more people have joined an encampments encampment right outside of sproul hall, and the newest encampment is at San Francisco state, a protest that started just yesterday. Now, those protesters at San Francisco state, like the protesters at other universities, want an end to the violence in gaza. And they also want the university to divest or sell their holdings in companies that do business with israels military. Free. Free palestine and palestine. Now, just after a rally began yesterday at the university, protesters set up tents as a member of the csu system, we think that its important to protest their, their, involvement. And, you know, support of the genocide. Now, some of the jewish students on the campus say some of the language is being used by the protesters and on their signs makes them very uncomfortable, basically saying, i cant be a part of that conversation whatsoever, because i believe that the state of israel has a right to exist. You know, it creates an unwelcoming environment, but more so, its just its shutting down even essential conversation. Now, in a statement responding to the protest, University Officials said in part, Sf State Foundation investment policy reflects its commitment to the values of the university, prioritizing social and racial justice, environmental sustainability and climate action. Overnight, propalestine protesters at Columbia University in new york city took over a building on campus. I believe that we will win. I believe the protesters broke into an academic building, barricaded the entrances and hung palestinian flags and banners on the buildings. This as the university began to suspend students who refused to take down a tent city demonstration that went up two weeks ago. We were engaging in good faith negotiations until the administration cut them off under threat of suspensions, where we ask for amnesty, they gave us more discipline. Today, education secretary Miguel Cardona will appear before a House Committee as lawmakers want to know whats being done to address antisemitism reported at many universities across the country. Time is 709. We have a big problem on highway four eastbound, which is in a not usually affected by slow traffic. At this time, we have it down to maybe 1 or 2 lanes right on the willow pass grade here. Just after you get over the hill from concord, over to bay point, where before willow pass road, before the second willow pass road exit. And people are also slowing in the westbound direction to look at whats going on. Although the slowdown seems to be a little less than it was, but im not sure why they cant open those lanes. But part of it is an injury crash, part of it was roadwork, so they both combined to cause a huge traffic problem in that area. Lets talk about the bay bridge. You can see thats backed up all the way out to the maze, partially due to earlier problems which have been cleared westbound 580 getting into livermore solid because of an overturned pickup truck at the greenville road exit. So if youre coming in from tracy or you know someone who is, theyre going to be late this morning, most likely southbound 101 at san antonio, near novato narrows. There, there was a crash. They cleared it, but traffic is still backing up into petaluma. 710 lets go back to the desk. Okay, sal. Well, boeings Credit Rating is now near junk status. The continued financial troubles for that troubled plane manufacturer and what that means for the Airline Industry and this is one of those did they really do that kind of stories . Someone made off with 10,000 honeybees in the east bay by the bee owner is so angry over the weekend and it left her puzzled. Ktvu andre senior in the studio now with the details and how that beekeeper is reacting. Andre. Well, dave, the amateur beekeepers name is sue donahue. Shes a chef by trade, but got into beekeeping about seven years ago. Now on saturday morning, thieves stole a colony of 10,000 honeybees from outside of her home on manila drive in North Oakland. They also ran off with a queen bee. Donahue says this was a crime she never expected. She immediately rushed outside of her home after she heard someone disrupt her beloved beehives, but she did not respond fast enough. I heard somebody say, hey, free bees and then a moment later, i heard a car door shut. Well, donahue says she has made bees a major part of her life in recent years. Her beehives are well known to her neighbors, who often come to her home to buy honey. And donahue says she loves to teach children about the wonder of bees. However, the focus of her bee lesson well, have they now . Theyve now changed following this weekends theft. Instead of showing them how bees behave in a hive, we were explaining to them, about theft. Donahue is quite certain the thieves who targeted her home do not know the first thing about bees, and she is also certain her bees will die very soon if they do not receive proper care. So far, Oakland Police have no suspects in this case and the motive is unclear. As for why this happened, Law Enforcement experts point out there really is no black market for bees, so thats really unclear at this point. Dave. All right, andre. Thank you. Time now. 715 in benicia. A man was arrested following a shootout with police, and now hes facing a charge of murder. 39 year old David Ochoa Magana is still in custody at the Solano County jail. Vallejo police have identified him as a suspect in a homicide, and hes being charged in connection with the death of a man back on march 16th. Now, magana was arrested after a shootout on the interstate 780. Benicia police say the citys license plate readers originally identified a car involved in an Armed Robbery, and they say magana and another person inside started shooting at the police during a chase. Both were later arrested when the car crashed and a man was arrested in santa rosa, accused of using a sword to threaten restaurant workers. 29 year old Shane Hulbert is accused of walking into a restaurant on Fourth Street sunday afternoon, pulling out that sword and then confronting one of the employees. Then police say the suspect grabbed an alcoholic beverage from out of a cooler and ran away, and no one was hurt. Hobart is now facing charges of felony robbery. California will soon begin selling its own generic version of the Opioid Overdose Reversal Drug narcan. The state is teaming up with a Major Pharmaceutical Company to make it available statewide. California will be able to buy the drug at 40 below the current market rate. That will allow the state to distribute some of the generic version for free. The States Health director says its proven to save lives. Incredible impact that this drug can have at saving peoples lives. How easy it is to use, how important it is to make it widely available. So we have it as a tool to save lives everywhere in our state. The state is now making plans to distribute the drug to county governments, police agencies, local Health Departments and schools for free. The shipments could begin as early as next month. A family court in downtown san jose is now paying more than 150,000 a day to keep the lights on, following a second power outage at its Court Building in the past two months. The latest outage began early yesterday morning. The family Court Centers paying for a generator and fuel to keep the lights on as it waits for a permanent power source to be restored. The court handles a wide variety of cases, mostly involving Domestic Violence and restraining orders. Disruption to the litigants is significant. We the court has, really, i think is quite nimble in addressing these kinds of failures and reestablishing operations as quickly as possible. But it takes some herculean efforts from our court staff as well to make that all happen. Pg and e has not yet said why it hasnt reconnected power to an equipment failure caused the lights to go out at the same Building Back in early march. All right, our time is 718, right back to south castaneda. We have a big problem on highway four. Thats right, this injury crash has been there now for almost an hour. Not quite, but look what its done. Theyve issued a sig alert. I dont know why they cant clear it, but obviously there is some complication. I dont know about eastbound here coming up on the willow pass exit, and traffic is really slow. There was a crash in the westbound direction. It could have been because people were slowing down to take a look. That was a minor incident, but highway four is pretty slow. Bay bridge a big backup with an overturned pickup truck at greenville road, and that has caused a huge backup stretching back to tracy and southbound 101. We had an earlier crash in novato. Thats why its very slow from petaluma heading all the way down to san rafael, south bay commutes. Also getting busy. Well talk about that coming up soon. Now at 719. Lets talk to steve with todays weather. Thank you sam, well get right to it here. A cold end april. No doubt about it here a lot of 30s. What . Yes, many up in Mendocino County. Lake county a little bit closer to home here. East of tomales in marin county. 37 woodside and sonoma both briefly dipped to 39. Scotts valley, pinole, stanford, hollister, 40, and even socal dropped to 41. Speaking of cold, look at the San Francisco buoy 49 cold degrees that is brutally cold for the end of april on the water temps. So the not only the inland temps cold this morning, but also the water temps. San francisco 6449 today. Whats average 6350. So pretty close again, theyve been below 63. The yesterday was 63. But its been a cool pattern for many here 93 the record high 1996 and 45. The record low way back in 1887. Speaking of the city temps, were going 64 today. 63 6262, 60 the past five days going back to february or february. Steve friday, right, low going into the pacific northwest. The highs offshore. So its really not doing too much for us. Still 30s and 40s for many. Menlo park 42, woodside, now 40, atherton stanford campus 41, los altos 42, Half Moon Bay one observation over there 42. Cold in the mountains. Truckee and tahoe 2523 in reno. Least our observer, had a briefly drip. Dipped 32 degrees this morning. We get a west northwest breeze, so that cant go anywhere. Those systems keep moving into the north. So cold. Morning, sunny, nice breezy, smidge warmer. We could push some upper 70s, maybe near 80 wednesday into thursday. But the big news continues to be a huge change for the weekend. Our good friend the gfs is incredibly consistent and bullish on rain. Not not not not a little bit a lot a bit, while others are not as wet, but they are trending more towards that direction. So i would start to have a plan b in your back pocket for saturday. Turn up the sunshine though. Today temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s. Steve thank you. 721 a multimillion dollar project kep
