with israel. but israel says it is not the same framework israel proposed at the negotiation table. cia director william burns is in the region, part of the negotiating partners, and he's working this in real time on the ground. a spokesman for israel defense forces says they will study hamas's latest response. and at the same time continue operations in gaza. today, the idf says they attacked 50 hamas targets in rafah. the southern gazan city, where more than 1 million palestinian refugees are sheltering from war. the israeli military says they started evacuating refugees from the eastern part of the city, sending them to humanitarian zones. some people checking evacuation orders on cell phones. but there is still confusion on the ground. this man says this has left us confused where should we go? he told me to come to rafah. you tell me where you want me to be so i can be done with the whole crisis. negotiation between israel and hamas had apparently been breaking down before news of a ceasefire agreement by hamas. the group had been

demanding israel withdraw and stop its bombardment. >> we will be discussing this response with our our partners over the coming hours. we continue to believe that a hostage deal is in the best interests of the israeli people. it's in the best interest of the palestinian people. it would bring an immediate cease fire. it would allow, increased movement of humanitarian assistance. and so we're going to continue to work to try to reach one. >> president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke on the phone this morning. this was before the announcement of any ceasefire deal by hamas. the white house says biden does not want to see any major military operation in rafah that puts refugees at risk. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> us secretary of state antony blinken was in the bay area this morning as news of the possible ceasefire came out. he did not comment on the hamas announcement while he was visiting a biotech company last friday, blinken said hamas is the only thing standing in the way of a cease fire. and today, a state department spokesperson

was critical of israel's evacuation order of 100,000 people from gaza. considering the extreme challenge of distributing aid to that many refugees. meanwhile, san francisco state's president met with students who are part of an on campus encampment protesting the war in gaza. that's a first for any university president. the students demands include having president lynn mahoney publicly condemn california state university's investments in israel. and while that did not take place, mahoney agreed to their demand to disclose how financial investments are actually made. protest organizers say they appreciate the appreciate the conversation with mahoney, and they actually do feel encouraged. >> a state bill that would let cities and counties regulate autonomous vehicles faces an uncertain future. senate bill 915 went before the senate appropriations committee this morning, where it was sent to the suspense file that allows legislators time to determine its impact on the budget. but it's also a common tactic used to kill a bill. the proposal by

san jose state senator dave cortese, will let local governments have more oversight over driverless vehicles in their communities. the decision comes as waymo announced it's ready to expand into san mateo county. >> all right, let's turn to the forecast. and the question, can we finally put our umbrellas away for months? >> well, unless you are using it for the sun as a sun umbrella, yeah, that's an option. yeah. but we posed this question after the incredible happen that uc berkeley central sierra snow lab reported that this weekend's storm dumped more than two feet of snow. they're making sunday, actually the snowiest day of the season for the lab. >> makes perfect sense. you don't need an umbrella there, spencer. christian. >> no you don't. who would have thought the snowiest day of the season would be in the month of may, just as the rainiest day uh- in over 100 years in the month of may occurred here in the bay area this weekend. so stranger things are happening. strange things are happening. i should say. right now we're looking at a 24 hour warm up of about 2 to 5 degrees from this

time yesterday. so our warming trend is now underway. we don't see any rain in sight for quite some time. right now. we're looking at temperatures in our inland areas in the low to mid 70s. but as we skip ahead and look at the maximum temperature trend for later this week, look at thursday. inland highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. we'll see low 80s around the bay shoreline friday. some low 90s will begin to appear in the warmest inland locations mid 80s around the bay and on saturday we'll see low 90s in several inland locations and of course low to mid 80s again around the bay shoreline. so how long will this warm up last and how severe will it get? i'll have the answer to that a little bit later in my accuweather seven day forecast. larry and kristen looking forward to that. >> thanks, spencer. san francisco city leaders say they are making efforts to get people off the streets, and it's paying off. mayor london breed says the city's homeless tent count has fallen to a five year low. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard has details and why some advocates for the unhoused are not impressed. >> i'm noticing. i'll tell you

that i am noticing, mayor london breed hopes. >> others are noticing too. fewer homeless tents around san francisco. >> we've seen a 41% reduction in tent encampments and structures on the streets of san francisco. >> breed says the latest tally in april counted 360 tents and structures, down from 609/10 counted in july of 2023. she says it's a five year low. >> i'm very encouraged by what this means for our city and looking forward to more momentum around getting people off the streets and getting them housed, but more importantly, not allowing those who refuse service to continue to take over the streets of san francisco. >> i think in general, the city is moving in a positive direction. >> lucy and shimkovitz says he has seen a change. >> i have noticed that there are fewer tents, others not so much. >> only when there's a visitor, a head of state from another country. that's the only time these streets have been cleaned. >> the new data comes amid the

city's ongoing battle with a coalition on homelessness over encampment clearing protocols, during which a federal judge issued an injunction which sets guidelines for the city's approach to clearing camps. >> the city continues to focus on tents. those aren't human beings, the coalition's executive director says the city's effort is flawed. having a big operation with the police where you're just pushing people from block to block, that ends up exacerbating homelessness and making it more difficult for folks to get off the streets. it also wastes money that could be spent on on actual solutions. >> friedenbach says some unhoused folks don't want shelter or assistance from the city. it's still unclear how an upcoming supreme court ruling on how cities clear homeless camps could impact the city's effort here. >> i hope we don't go backwards because we need we have laws on the books and we need the ability to enforce those laws. >> in san francisco, cornel bernard, abc seven news. >> today, supporters are pushing for a new california bill that could result in stores removing

their self-checkout service. some stores are already changing their policies because of rampant theft. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez has the story. when we have more workers in stores, theft is decreased. >> this morning, advocates had a virtual news conference promoting a new bill that would regulate self checkouts. supporters say it cut down on thefts in california stores and boost employment. >> we must protect jobs and ensure worker safety. >> democratic senator lola smallwood cuevas introduced the bill 1446 is essential to making sure that we are addressing all of the complexity of this issue of retail theft and most importantly, putting workers and consumers first. if passed, grocery and pharmacy retailers would need a dedicated employee for every two self-checkout stations. if stores fail to meet the requirements, they must close self checkouts. leticia acosta says she manages the self-checkout area at the lucky

supermarket in pinole, and that she got attacked when she reported theft. >> because of this incident, i am terrified to report any incidents of theft. this bill will ensure that grocery stores are properly staffed, but organizations, including the california retailers association, have come out against the proposed legislation. >> some places are choosing to close down self checkout, and i think that that stores should have the ability to make that decision. i don't know that the state needs to mandate that. >> the california retailers association adds that they need to hold criminals accountable and go after repeat offenders to deter retail theft in the first place. the california chamber of commerce also coming out against the bill, saying it would put unnecessary restrictions on retail, grocery and pharmacy stores implementing self checkout and would not result in less theft in the studio. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> make it here is the theme of this year's small business week

that kicks off today in san francisco. the 20th annual celebration includes a bunch of events and workshops. it's a chance for local business owners and entrepreneurs to connect with and learn from one another. there will be an opening party tonight at pier 70, plus a pop up shop with makers and artisans at the salesforce transit center on wednesday. this year's event focuses on the manufacturing and production sectors that create san francisco made products, coming up on abc seven news at four out in force. >> up next, a warning about the booming rattlesnake population in the east bay and the action being taken to make hikers aware. also, big night for the 2024 bay area sports hall of fame inductees. we're live at tonight's celebration and later, the san francisco nonprofit committed to helping the homeless accused of fraud. now the city says tens of thousand a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks? salonpas, it's good medicine.

the spot one if you're out on a trail around the bay area, rattlesnake season can lead to more encounters with humans and dogs. and in the east bay, snake safety precautions are now in place. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley joining us live now from walnut creek. leslie >> hey, i'm up here at shell ridge. it's an absolutely beautiful day. lots of people pulling up for a late afternoon walk or a bike ride or a stroll with their dog in these

beautiful hills. but you have to remember the warmer weather that draws us out is also drawing the snakes out to sun themselves, to mate, to chase prey. so if you're out on a trail, you've got to keep your eyes on what's ahead of you. whether it's in the woods or hiking on the grassy slopes of mount diablo, a warning has gone out from east bay regional park district to be on the lookout for rattlesnakes this year. >> as snakes come out of their hibernation or brumation. and it's called. it's good to be, good to be aware of the possibility that they're, you know, may be more snakes than usual. >> 2023 wet winter means more baby snakes have grown up and there's more prey for them. and it's now mating season for rattlesnakes. >> watch where you put your feet. watch where you put your hands when you're sitting on rocks or out hiking. >> so exercise caution and give a rattler. if you encounter one a wide berth. the park district suggests staying on wide trails and avoiding some of the smaller, narrow side trails, and

always go hiking with a friend just in case you're bitten. >> if it's a rattlesnake or you're not sure that's a medical emergency, there are is no first aid that can be done in the field that is going to change the outcome of a serious bite. the only first aid or the only treatment is antivenom. and we only get antivenom in a hospital emergency room. so your best first aid kit is your cell phone or your car keys. >> you also have to keep an eye out for your dog. a lot of people like to have their dog roam off leash. this might not be the best time of year to do that, so that you can keep an eye on them. if they're on a leash, you can prevent that rattlesnake encounter with the dog. it can be quite fatal for them, given their smaller size compared to people and something i hadn't heard of before. there is something called a rattlesnake vaccine for dogs. it's something you can look into, research or talk to your vet about reporting live at shell ridge. i'm leslie brinkley

, abc seven news. >> interesting. all right, leslie, thank you. from steaks to birds, cal is sharing a composite photo of the four falcon chicks born two weeks ago. a top uc berkeley's campanile. you can see day one on the left. it shows three of the chicks hatched. a fourth still in the egg. in the bottom is a photo of the four peregrine chicks a week in, and then on top, the four chicks huddling together in nine days, the chicks will be banded and ecologists will determine their gender using leg measurements. fyi female falcons have longer legs, oh so same proportions as humans, right? proportionally. >> is that true? is that true? >> it's something larry has never noticed. no, ever. >> i, i observe other things. but anyway, i was i was more concerned about the fate of archie. oh, because we didn't see him in the video there. i

mean, i think his story was written a long time ago. spencer that's bad news. spencer >> very bad news, isn't it? i have some good news for you, though. we're going into a week of warming, and it is really going to be pleasant. here's a look at what's happening right now on our satellite radar. composite image. we've got high pressure building offshore. that's going to be the controlling factor in our weather. it's still producing the circulation around that high of vigorous onshore flow with gusts right now over 20mph in many locations near the coastline. but as that high moves onshore, we'll have a shift in the circulation, get more of an offshore flow later in the week, which will contribute to the warm up. we're warming up already, though. the 24 hour temperature change shows most locations about 2 to 5 degrees warmer right now than at this time yesterday. and as we look at afternoon highs, let me just skip over that because that's way, way ahead of where we need to be right now. i'll show you that later. i'll move along and take a look at some current temperature readings under blue skies. looking down into san francisco from sutro

tower, 58 degrees here in the city, low to mid 60s at oakland and hayward, 68 at san jose 64. redwood city at 55 at half moon bay, blue sky and breezy conditions at the golden gate. all the temperature readings right now 68 up north at santa rosa, petaluma, 6166 napa, 70 at fairfield and 67 apiece at concord and livermore. let's check out our forecast headlines for the week ahead. expect warm weather. expect summer like heat. as a matter of fact, by the end of the week, the peak of warming will occur thursday, friday and saturday, and by week's end, we can expect inland highs in some locations to reach or exceed 90 degrees for tonight . checking out the forecast animation, we'll see a little bit of a marine push of some low clouds, but they'll they won't last. they won't linger to the morning hours. we'll have a mainly sunny day again tomorrow. overnight low temperatures under mainly clear skies will be generally in the mid to upper 40s, so not quite so chilly overnight as the last two nights and mornings have been, and highs tomorrow 58 half moon bay 65. here in san francisco up to about 70 around most of the bay

shoreline locations. and we'll see mid 70s inland. but things are going to warm up way beyond that as we look later into the week. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so on uh- wednesday we'll see inland highs getting up to the low 80s, upper 70s around the bay shoreline and then on thursday mid to upper 80s inland. but check out friday and saturday up to and probably above in some locations 90 degrees inland. mid 80s around the bay up to 70 or above on the coast and we get minor cooling next sunday just by a few degrees and temperatures drop back into a closer to average range next monday. no rain in sight, no record snow in sight. >> i know, so weird, but lots of warmth. >> can i just issue an apology? yeah, i was wrong. larry was right. >> yes. well can you say that again? >> just because it's never going to be heard again? >> so chatgpt says women do not actually have proportionally longer legs than men are. it only appears that way,

apparently, because that's our authority. >> chatgpt. okay, well. >> reliable source. yes. >> take that as you will. you're learning new things every day. or maybe not. >> take the win while you have. >> yeah. thank thank you, thank you. stored away right here. a win is a win. >> yeah. >> we are just about four hours away from a nasa launch that will send two astronauts into space. it's the first mission of the boeing starliner with a crew inside. this is video of a starliner test launch two years ago without a crew. tonight's mission is crucial to determine if the boeing spacecraft is ready for routine trips to the space station. >> we're ready to do any robotics that needs to happen. we're ready to do any spacewalks that happen. so we've got all of our basic walls, whatever science and stuff that we can help out. that would be great. >> it will take the starliner more than 24 hours to get to the space station. it will dock there late tomorrow night. the astronauts will return a week later aboard the same starliner capsule. >> when we come back, kristen

will be the gm for golden state. in her role, she'll oversee roster and player development. nianhan is coming here from the new york liberty, where she spent more than five years in a variety of roles, including most recently as the assistant general manager. what brings me so much joy about taking this opportunity is that it's a blank canvas, and there are many elements that can go into building a masterpiece, first and foremost, just building a foundation of a winning team both on and off the court. >> nianhan will start her tenure with golden state a week from today. the team is scheduled to begin playing games next year, and we're still waiting to find out what the team nickname is going to be. >> the 2024 class of the bay area sports hall of fame will be enshrined tonight here in san francisco. abc seven's chris alvarez joining us live at the hyatt regency with more as the festivities are just getting underway, i assume all of the honorees are there at this point . >> they're they're slowly

seeking the debarment and suspension of a nonprofit called providence foundation. >> the invoices were submitted in 2022 for painting of the exterior of the oasis hotel, and the removal of locks at the hotel. the city's attorney's office discovered that work was never done. >> our action today starts the process to ensure that providence is not able to apply for a future contracts uh. it is up to the city as we're reviewing this and whether the current contracts would end. >> providence foundation operates the oasis hotel, a shelter for families experiencing homelessness. we went to their offices for comment and their staff closed their doors. providence receives city funds to operate a navigation center, as well as multiple housing subsidy and voucher programs. for years, they have received grants through the city's department of homelessness and supportive housing. in a statement, the city's department said in part

hsa will be reviewing each contract on a program by program basis to determine the best way to continue seamless services for the guests and tenants in these programs. >> it's almost foreseeable when you have the avalanche of new programs and new contractors coming in, and the city wanting to get more contractors involved and not really scrutinizing those, randy shaw, director of the tenderloin housing clinic, the leading provider of permanent supportive housing for homeless single adults in san francisco, is concerned about what these findings will mean for other nonprofits like his social media is filled with to it with tweets about corrupt nonprofits in the homeless sector. but the reality is there's a lot of nonprofits involved. these are still a small number, and they give us all a bad name. >> our data team found that san francisco has awarded over $213 million to nonprofits in the housing and homelessness sector for contracts starting in 2023 to present, the city attorney's office said they will continue their investigation. >> we will fine you, we will cut

off your funding and we will hold you accountable. >> and the city attorney's office said their investigation is ongoing. he also said they identified multiple nonprofits with questionable behavior. luz pena, abc seven news. >> so, lewis, were there any clues of mismanagement that took place of the funds earlier that maybe led to this? >> well, larry, over the past year, the city's department of homelessness and supportive housing has sent at least six corrective action letters to providence foundation for a number of fiscal mismanagement and noncompliance issues, including the illegal recording of guests and employees, as well as overspending city contracts. >> all right. thanks so much. i know you'll keep your eyes on the investigation. thank you. lose communities across the u.s. are remembering the atrocities of one of the worst acts of genocide in modern history. this is holocaust remembrance day. but for the jewish family and children services holocaust center in san francisco, the

real task is educating people about the holocaust and the events leading up to it. it's what they do. >> 365 days a year, abc seven news anchor and race and social justice reporter julian glover has a look at their work. >> so talk to us about where we are right now. >> so you are at the jewish family and children's services holocaust center. we are a center for learning, education, research and remembrance. >> morgan blum schneider, director of the jfk's holocaust center, gives us a tour of the archives each one of these grave boxes holds a story one family's life, one story of perpetration, of dehumanization. >> but stories of survival, stories of hope, stories of resilience inside of these gray boxes are impeccably preserved artifacts, keeping the history of the millions of jews killed in the holocaust alive today. what you see here, this is a star of david that the jews in the netherlands had to wear sewn

onto their clothing. every child over the age of five had to have a star affixed to their jacket. >> morgan and her colleagues use these items to help teachers teach, and students learn about the horrors of the holocaust, reaching more than 100,000 people in schools each year. >> so this is one of our very special collections. this is called a yizkor book collection. each one of these books tells the story of a community sharing these personal stories of persecution and survival is so important. >> as the world marks nearly 80 years since the end of world war two. >> why is it so important that you continue to get these artifacts, these primary source documents, in front of young people, especially today, our holocaust survivor generation ian is sunsetting. >> we are on the horizon of a time when firsthand witnesses of the holocaust will no longer be alive. >> the average age of holocaust survivors is now upwards of 85 years old, but many of those

survivors are not slowing down, sharing their stories of resilience in classrooms across california. at a time when acts of anti-semitism are on a drastic rise, according to the anti-defamation league, holocaust education is anti-semitism education a truly dynamic curriculum includes survivor testimony. >> it includes primary source documents. it includes activity that really help these students investigate and build their critical thinking skills. >> i was born in vienna, 1937. >> survivor testimony like that of herb, now 86, sharing his story, says operated from his parents, stowed away in a church outside of brussels when he was just a boy, reuniting as a man with the people who took him in all those years ago. >> and she said in her french, there i was, the one that took you. so after 50 years, i guess i finally met my savior, a savior to herb and an upstander by any standard, stepping up in

the face of evil, a call to action for us all on this holocaust remembrance day and may their stories inspire the citizens of our state to be stronger individuals. >> i'm julian glover, abc seven news. >> and what happened cannot be forgotten, ever. all right. coming up, we're going to switch gears with the ford four. and miss usa is done. her reason for stepping down that plus tom brady uh- he took a beating. nothing was out of bounds. and last

state lawmakers introduced a new bill today to regulate self-checkout. the bill would require grocery and pharmacy retailers to have a dedicated employee for every two self-checkout stations. if they don't, they'll have to close self checkouts. supporters say the bill would boost employment and cut down on theft. unions are certainly saying that. opponents say it would end up hurting businesses, which a lot of the businesses are saying. but what do you guys think? i feel like i'm most grocery stores, you see like one employee standing there for maybe 6 or 8 self-checkout kiosks. yeah. >> you're right, that sounds about right, because that's where i usually go, because i feel like i can get through a little bit faster. yeah, because i'm good with my scanning. i did

go to a store recently, and the person who was checking me out because i went through the actual checkout, watched a lady walk out and said, she comes back time after time, steals the same thing, but there's nothing they can do about it. wow. >> yeah, well, i mean, that's the time that we live in. >> so with more humans prevent that, i don't know. >> i mean, if they can't, you know, if it's under a certain amount, i yeah, i don't know. >> and pretty much all the store employees are told don't get involved, don't interact. so i don't know. but one, one checkout person for every two kiosk kiosks, that seems excessive. >> seems like a lot. yeah, really. >> and the stores are going to go well, we can't afford to do that. right? >> you just have them standing there. >> yeah, that's that's not really viable. all right. moving on. the latest miss usa pageant winner is giving up her crown to focus on her mental health. noelia voight of utah made the announcement today on social media. she said in part, quote, my hope is that i continue to inspire others to remain steadfast, prioritize your mental health. the miss usa organization responded on social media as well, saying they

respect and support her decision, and they're reviewing plans for the transition to a successor. you know, it's interesting, spencer, because years ago, this was the kind of thing that people did not talk about. and it's much healthier now that we can say, all right, it's okay to not be okay. >> yeah, exactly. and once you say that you're on the road to getting better, you know, it's trying to hide those things that make people make people's conditions deteriorate. actually. yeah >> and you look at the pressure that, i mean, you think, well, it's a beauty pageant winner, but i'm sure in her mind she's got to look perfect every single day. and it's going to be judged on her appearance. and yeah, social media on top of all of that. >> and you're expected to, you know, everywhere you go, just play this part, be happy, be on the, you know, ready to go. that's a lot of pressure. a lot of people, you know, and i think a lot of everyday people are feeling it too. and they feel they have to put on this mask and go over, how are you doing? great. thanks how are you? you

know, it's you're not always great. yeah. >> yeah. >> that's why i just take the barking at larry when i want to, instead of putting on the. oh, i'm doing great. how about you? let's be real. seriously. >> let's be real. >> let's be real. all right? some funny and some real uncomfortable moments last night as comedians and celebrities roasted football great tom brady. one of the favorite topics joking about brady's breakup with uh- divorce with model gisele bundchen, five time super bowl mvp. >> most career wins. most career touchdowns. you have seven rings. well, eight now that giselle gave hers back, but oh ouch. >> haha. >> oh that was uh- don't want to be smiling. smile. if you notice, at one point brady actually got up from his seat to warn a comedian to stop making jokes about patriots owner robert kraft. kraft was arrested in 2019 for soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor. the roast was live streamed on netflix. but it's a roast, larry. it's a roast. >> he got roasted. i mean, it

was it was a slow rotisserie roast. everybody got their shots and he got his shots in at them. afterwards, spencer, i don't know if you saw any of this, but gronkowski was great. julian edelman was great. they were taken on bill belichick at one point. the team owner, robert kraft, said of putin, if you're watching, give me my bleep and ring back because he's got a super bowl ring anyway, it's a complete insanity. >> but i didn't see the whole thing, larry. but i saw extensive clips. there were lots of clips from the roast on the view this morning. i watched that uh. and did you notice how, kim kardashian was booed before she started even talking? >> yeah, i thought that was interesting, given people watch the kardashians. they've been watching for over a decade, but they. >> but larry, she had a good one too. she goes, no, tell us that one, i can't remember kim's joke, you're gonna have to help me. >> something about him not being there as a father. >> oh, i didn't oh, oh, she

said, he reminded her of her stepdad. i don't remember the whole setup. i'm sorry. >> no. it's okay. there were so many roasts. how can you keep track of them all? >> well, nikki glaser just crushed it. she was ruthless and hysterical. so if you get a chance, check out. >> that's what a roast is supposed to be, right? yeah. >> no, i mean, and it was. it was a it's a long time to sit there and have people just punch you in the face verbally. you could. it feels like the fourth. uh- you could enjoy a free harbor boat tour at the port of oakland starting this week. i may be on one, you will board a blue and gold boat at the oakland jack london terminal for the ports 90 minute harbor tour. it will take you through the port around the bay bridge near yerba buena island, and then return you back to jack london square. not not in a matson container, though, all tickets are gone for this week's tour, but additional tours are scheduled on fridays from now through october. tickets are free, but registration is required. a nice tour is beautiful, but it begs the question are there any iconic

bay area tourist attractions that folks have never visited? because typically we don't go to, you know, whatever alcatraz or whatever the case may be. >> i go when people visit here, i take them because they want to see the sights. i will say, as a local, i was trying to think of some thing i haven't done, the only thing i could come up with and i don't necessarily really consider it an iconic bay area thing. i keep saying i'm going to hike mount diablo and i have yet to hike mount diablo. i would guess a lot of people haven't been to angel island, which also has a lot of good hiking. >> oh, love angel island. >> yeah, it's great. >> i spent overnight there. it's just gorgeous. >> but i bet people go to alcatraz before they go to angel. >> they do exactly right i was i visited the bay area a lot before i moved here 25 years ago, so i had seen most of the popular sights before i moved it. >> and i've gone back to them since arriving, so. yeah, ama, i would say go to the top of mount diablo in the wintertime and have a snowball fight. that's the best. that is the best. >> that's that's my pro tip for

the day. >> just. i'll throw snowballs at you, larry. >> yeah, let's do it. >> let's do it pretty much every day. i'm not a participant in this. >> not a participant. >> stay out of it, spencer.

1 in 50 if there was a specific gene present. but after analyzing brain scans of 3300

people, they found the risk is more like 1 in 6. researchers say if the gene known as apoe e4 carries an inherited form of the disease, it virtually assures that person will get alzheimer's . better news, though, regarding uh- demise, which includes alzheimer's and other forms of deteriorating memory and thinking skills, a harvard study found people who ate half a tablespoon of oil olive oil, specifically in their daily diet, were 28% less likely to die of dementia. replacing a single teaspoon of margarine or mayonnaise with olive oil reduced the risk of death by dementia by 8 to 14, so spencer is never going to have to worry about it because i hear he is an olive oil consumer. i do like olive oil a lot. >> yeah, we are what we eat. yeah, that's exactly right. so i'm an olive. yeah >> or you're a little oily. >> yeah, a little oily. >> he was looking at what's going on with our weather overnight. we'll have mainly clear skies, a few clouds around. milder than the last two
