Were going to start with the protests across the bay area. The last one wrapping up with Police Firing pepper balls. These gatherings were not massive in numbers, but they had a huge impact. The chp arrested 38 people tied to the first round of protests yesterday. Protesters targeted three spots the Golden Gate Bridge and one location in each direction of 880 in oakland. For drivers ended up trapped for hours as chp worked to break up these demonstrations. Protesters went to extremes to make sure it lasted as long as possible, linking themselves to cars through tubes and chaining themselves to barrels filled with concrete. It took jackhammer hours to get them out. 12 hours after the protests first started, another group gathered outside the tesla factory in fremont. All the demonstrations were a part of what organizers say is the a15 day of protest. The protest took place on april 15th, or tax day. As a way to cause economic disruption. Protesters believe the demonstrations would target those who are helping to fund the israelhamas war. Is this tesla factory is one of the most productive factories in the state, and so in this area, we wanted to target a big center of production and really cause an impact. A lot of these companies are just thinking about their profits and uh unless, unless theyre affected, they need pressure. Protesters who spoke with abc seven say they will continue to make their voices heard. Abc seven news spoke with legal experts about possible consequences for these protesters. You can see this frustrated driver confronting some of them. San Jose State University professor greg woods categorized the actions on the Golden Gate Bridge and interstate 880 in oakland as illegal without the benefit of a license to engage in protest at these particular locations. These individuals are engaging in trespass. If we allow those individuals to engage in such disruption without any form of accountability, then we can absolutely expect more of the same in the future. Five months ago, while President Biden was in San Francisco for the apec summit, 80 protesters were arrested on the bay bridge and charged. Some of those charges included false imprisonment, refusing to disperse and refusing to comply with the peace officer. Those charges were dismissed with prosecution.

Developing news tension is growing in the middle east. For two days now, the israeli war cabinet has been meeting to decide its next move after iran launched an attack on israel.

A man is at the live desk tracking the latest reggie, the u. S. And other World Leaders are urging israel to deescalate the conflict with iran. White house Officials Say the u. S. Is not involved in israels Decision Making process, and its unclear what options israel is considering they are. There are concerns about a possible strike on Irans Nuclear facilities. Officials say iran did not give the us warning about the time frame of its attack. Irans intent was clearly to cause significant destruction and casualties. The white house is currently pushing for a National Security bill to be passed. House speaker mike johnson, who has been preventing the bill from moving through congress, says he wants to break the bill into four separate votes. Johnson says the voting should be done this week. The white house is against the idea of breaking up the bill and would like the funding for israel and ukraine to be approved quickly. Back to you at the desk, kumasi. Thank you.
