We have patchy fog and drizzle south of San Francisco, but only temporary. And your forecast coming up in just a bit. Star wars creator george lucas may be building that museum here in San Francisco. He is a new interest in returning to San Francisco, and coming has his bid in chicago bogged down with additional challenges. The mayor lee says he is talking with the city over possibly building the museum over Treasure Island. He wants to make sure that he does not have to go through that difficult process as he has found twice already. Back the supervisor were join us in the studio with more on the push to build the museum in the bay. A half hour away from the beta breakers, tens of thousands of runners and partiers taking off in the financial district at 8 00, making their way to ocean beach, and chopper five will be launching and we will bring you live coverage of the race. The Berkeley Police are searching for man described as at risk, jimmy hsu, a 6 foot tall asian and 185 pounds, driving a silver toyota similar to the one you see here, last seen on sacramento street last night. An incident in concord sending two people to the hospital, a swarm of angry bees got away from the beekeeper on his [ null ] drive yesterday morning, and they went on a rampage, stinging and attacking the beekeeper, postal worker and two small dogs. They say that the aggressive behavior is symptomatic of the african killer bees that are still out there. s back they dont sting you, but if you make a very fast movement, they will start being more aggressive. Back i would be nervous with bees flying around me. And the dogs were stopped over 50 times. We spoke to the using berkeley graduate about the death of her husband a year ago. I learned about the death, sadness and mortality of loss. But i also learned that when life sucks you under, kick against the bottom, find the surface and breathe again. Before this, samburg had never spoken publicly about her grief and loss. The old adage it runs in the family rings true for these three brothers, all received a perfect score on their a ct exam, and in germantown, tennessee, the brothers got a perfect 36 on the acp. The older brother says that whenever body scores the same theres not much room for sibling rivalry. s back there are a lot of families that have gifted kids, but at the same time some siblings are gifted and others are not. And they credit their parents for helping them to excel and reach their full potential. The sharks are gearing up for the western conference final after the blowout against the predators, and looking good ahead of the series openers, and the faceoff is it 5 00 tonight in st. Louis. On to the race for the white house, House Speaker paul ryan still is not endorsed donald trump. s back he is saying it could take more time during the News Conference last night in green bay, wisconsin, he says that he and donald trump have policy dispute. We do clash over issues, and that happens with democrats and republicans. But can we get over this and get the Party Unified to be at full strength in the fall. Donald trump facing multiple questions on an array of topics, and multiple accusations of discrimination against women, but donald trump is disputing that. And the tuesday primary with 85 delegates up for grabs, kentucky democrat sending five superdelegates to the National Convention as well. The republicans will not have a president ial primary because they already voted in the caucus in march, and clinton and sanders continue to focus on california. The Clinton Campaign opening an office in los angeles and her supporters opened one near the State Capitol in sacramento yesterday. Hillary clinton knows what the people are looking for and we will vote for because of that. The sanders supporters will be meeting outside of the grand lake theater in oakland, and they say they are encouraging them to register to vote in the primary, more than 700 delegates up for grabs, 546 for the democrats, 172 for the republicans. It is interesting to note there is a lot of interest in this race, especially on the democratic side. If you are not a republican or democrat and you want to vote in the democratic primary, you can. Check this out in your mail because you need to get in touch with the registrar. So check the voter guide, and if you are declined, and you did not get one, get in touch through the internet, and send it in to get the ballot to vote in the democratic primary. A major ballot mistake in modesto could cost the city. They put the measure on the november ballot, asking the voters in the city should change how it the School District for members, and was supposed to be going out districtwide, but the investigation shows that the city clerk change the paperwork causing the measure to only appear on balance for boaters inside the city, leaving 20,000 voters out of the loop, and working to get the measure on the june 7 ballot. We were found at fault for this and will pay most all of the cost related to the new ballot mailer. It looks like they will be sharing some of the cost with us. It only cost the School District 6000 to get it on the ballot in november, and it will cost at least 169,000 in the june ballot. So in other words, you get an f. The city refunding nearly 1000 red light camera tickets because the yellow light at two intersections were set too short, and the city roddy and over 229,000 in revenue from the cameras, and the City Council Meets tomorrow at 7 pm. Lush and green lawns could be making a comeback, and the state water board made let us use more water. And the vote on the water quota on wednesday, and cities must conserve 25 to as high as 36 , and soon there may be no restrictions in some areas. Others say it is only right to share what we get. And some have green grass, and i have brown grass. There are some that have ruled that this will not change and we will still carry a stiff fine. Not allowing any water runoff when watering the lawn, using only a hose equipped with a shutoff nozzle, and no more watching the driveway. 170,000 uninsured children in california getting health care. The California Medicaid Program extending coverage to the undocumented children 18 years and older, and the expansion of the undocumented children into medical expected to cost or 2 million this year, 132 million annually after that. It is estimated that we clearly spent 1. 3 1. 3 billion annually in the emergency room care, and it will cost much less to get people access. Nearly 2. 5 million undocumented immigrants, the highest count and the country. And we will be joining us live with more on talks for the new bid to bring the star wars creator george lucas and his museum back to the bay your blue skies over the golden gate, and take a look at the san mateo bridge, a different picture, and how long will the tale of two bridges last, coming up. And you can catch face the nation at 8 30 am, and John Dickerson will sit down with former defense secretary bob gates and ask him if he would ever serve under a donald trump administration. We will be right back. Creator of star wars george lucas is looking at Treasure Island as a new San Francisco site fos stalled museum of illustrate art. This comes as his bid build in chicago had become george lucas is looking at Treasure Island for the new site for his museum on star wars, and the bid in chicago became bogged down in legal and political challenges. s back and that is one of the reasons that he left San Francisco in the first place, and joining us is erin peskin that has been in on these talks, and wide Treasure Island. Treasure island actually has been lacking a lot of special sauce, and lacking the ferry service, and in the middle of the day you have a congested bridge, and if we could have a attraction on Treasure Island we could sustain a very service and get the entire island to work. And the city walked away from a deal to reduce the amount of Affordable Housing and very service, and perhaps this museum could be the special sauce. That could be in effect like the giants ballpark for the south of market. Precisely, and the giants have led the way with that ferry terminal. This could attract millions a year, and how would they get on the island . The very would leave the northern waterfront of San Francisco the same way that millions go to alcatraz, reduce congestion on the bridge and have a heart on Treasure Island. s back whitey think that lucas pulled away from San Francisco . I think that the first project was in the wrong place, and the Presidio Trust did the right thing for the national resource, but now we have an opportunity, and i think that Treasure Island could be the right spot. San francisco is notorious for saying no, and what makes you think that building a museum of this magnitude on Treasure Island would be any easier than anyplace else . If edley, james kim and aaron peskin are on the same page, that is a good start. The thing the state lands, or any of those things . Treasure island is a unique creature under the law, and theres less state oversight over Treasure Island so i think this could be done. Like tell us about how these talks happened. s back they are in the very preliminary stages, more talks this week, and im hoping that we can get on the same page quickly. This could be interesting for city that has notoriously had trouble dealing with big projects like this. Lets think about the successes, the exploratory him exploratory him went very successful, and things in the civic center have gone smoothly, and there are instances where we have had some bad bits, but there are some things we can embrace with open arms and get done. You were thought of as the dark vader of San Francisco, the guy that came in and said no, and why are you saying yes this time . I think that if people look at my political history, they focus on those little things, but they forget that im the supervisor that presided over the board that rezoned 22 of the city, and i helped to greenlight 10,000 units of housing being built at the San Francisco shipyard. Darth vader, luke skywalker, and this will be interesting. Thank you for joining us this morning. Lets take a look at the forecast in case you are heading to Treasure Island. You are in a dividing line, clouds to the south and clear skies to the north, and heres a look at the manteo san mateo bridge, and starting off with clouds, and here is the golden gate bridge, blue skies, concord 57, oakland 56, 50 say 58 in santa rosa.

A gr mounting pressure from the four San Francisco supervisors calling on the police chief greg suhr to step down after the Deadly Police shooting and races text scandal, and the frisco five is rallying to get the chief hired, but he says he is not going anywhere. And the Department Going under major reforms, a 17 million package to improve violence and training, and the pushback is not from the Police Officers association and the to me the chief finds himself between a rock and a hard place, and sitting down with a oneonone interview with the chief. Reporter how is this going over within the department . Changes hard on everybody. There is a lot of change in the way that we do things, and in the way that we approach things. The meeting we just had, everybody in the neighborhood wants to talk about the crime. They want to know that the way that we reengineer force is getting done, reform, body cameras, and is soon as we finish that conversation, lets talk about that neighborhood. As a Police Person in this modern age, everybody has a cell phone. How do you balance Crime Fighting was civil rights . If you make a move for do a sweet, those things that are Crime Prevention are now considered violating civil rights. The procedural justice, you have to spend the time. I have referred to this for years for taking an extra 3 to 5 minutes, and we have to take those extra minutes to explain why we did what we did and when we did it. It has to be common sense for the average person to see that everybody is on camera. Reporter and allegations being made about the stop and frisk. We do not stop and frisk. The da is wrong. We had the 1969 were we stopped that unless was based on reasonable suspicion and we search people based on whether we believe there is reason to believe there is a weapon, firearm or incident to arrest. That is the law, and we go by the law, and to say that they have a couple of people that say they got stopped and risk, maybe somebody did not take the 3 to 5 minutes to explain why they did what they did, when they did it, but we do not practice stop and frisk and never have been San Francisco. Reporter how do you feel as cheap and the guy in the hot seat when you turn on the tv and find out that one of your officers used the n word . It makes me sick to my stomach to think that anybody has that mindset and their vocabulary. I cannot even tell you how disheartening it is. Reporter what is it like to have four members of the board of supervisors calling you to resign, and showing up late to every meeting you attend . Back this is not this is not my first rodeo, certainly people on the board of supervisors take positions sometimes that i do not necessarily agree with. I continued that some of those have reached out to me directly and saying that they are taking care of this important event and that i am that died, and i am a response person that will do it. Back and who is asking you to step aside . It doesnt matter because i will always do my job and be responsible, and i will get my job done regardless. What do you think . Will they ask him to step down . It is interesting to note that even after they called him to step down, they have called him within minutes and ask him to do
