police in washington, d.c. cleared out a pro-palestinian encampment at george washington university. it was after midnight when d.c. police forced protesters to leave the campus. the university says it had asked the city to intervene for days, but that d.c. mayor muriel bowser had initially refused, saying people have the right to protest. a member of congress who walked through the encampment yesterday said jewish students he spoke with said it made them feel uncomfortable. i talked to the jewish students here just minutes ago. >> they told me they're afraid to be on their campus. they're scared. >> mayor bowser has been called to testify before congress today about the city's response to the encampment. >> well, demonstrators across the nation urged israel to end its offensive in rafah. the israeli military says it has seized control of that border crossing at the southern edge of gaza, protesters from seattle to austin, texas, and atlanta took part in what's called hands off

rafah rallies is now here in the bay area. demonstrators in berkeley joined the protesters at uc berkeley, sproul plaza, that's where people have been camping out for days. ktvu tori gaines talk to some of the protesters who've increased their demands. all eyes on you. >> all eyes on you. >> we will never leave you here at uc berkeley, hundreds of students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members filled sproul plaza with chants for revolution in response to israel's attacks on rafah. it's been nearly two weeks since the pro-palestine encampment sprouted up at cal, and the number of tents has grown. a lot of people from different faiths, from different ethnic backgrounds, from different political beliefs, all here because we believe that the genocide going on in gaza right now is something that we have the power to impact and power to stop some faculty members on campus stood and chanted side by side with their students in

calling for divestment. >> so many of us are sort of forced to be complicit with, you know, illegal, immoral war that is being waged on innocent populations in our name with our funds. >> demonstrators in support of palestine have been particularly vocal on uc berkeley's campus. while some students feel empowered by the demonstrations, others see them in a different light. >> i've never felt more ostracized or isolated ever in my life, nor have i ever felt such an overwhelming feeling of anxiety and distress. s simply just existing. just simply being in my existence as a jewish american. >> though some students are struggling with the new reality on campus, one faculty member tells us he has full faith in his students. >> this is the best public school in the world. why wouldn't we trust these students to understand how to negotiate with their administration? what are just unnecessary demands? do we trust our youth or not? and i

think that i do as you can see, the encampment is still here, going strong. >> students and other demonstrators here at the encampment tell us that they are willing to stay here as long as it takes to see their divestment goals met. we reached out to uc berkeley for comment on today's rally, but the university had no statement to offer in berkeley. tori gaines, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, tori, thank you. time is now 404. the biden administration says israel's move to take over the rafah crossing between gaza and egypt is not the full scale invasion of the city. israel said it would carry out. yesterday, an israeli tank brigade closed the rafah crossing. israel says the border crossing had been used by hamas, so it was important to shut it down. >> this was a, a very limited operation designed to cut off, hamas's ability to smuggle more weapons and funding into gaza. >> now, the biden administration has been discouraging israel

from launching a full scale ground operation in rafah. that's where a 1 million displaced palestinians have taken shelter. the united states reportedly paused a shipment of bombs to israel last week over the concerns they would be used in an assault on rafah, stanford university is reminding students that the encampment at white plaza violates university policies. >> now, officials say it goes against a policy on overnight camping and on the equitable use of the plaza. the university says discipline cases are proceeding and more names of students are being submitted. some may have their diplomas held while their cases are processed, and stanford is warning encampment members. they could be suspended. >> our time is now 406 happening today. testimony in front of congress by the superintendent of the berkeley unified school district surrounding allegations of anti-semitism in her schools. now, superintendent nikki ford. mortal, will testify in front of the house subcommittee on

jail after he ran a red light at a busy intersection in san jose and killed a cyclist. it happened yesterday morning at east capitol expressway and center road around 730 in the morning. investigators say the driver of this red pickup truck was going westbound on capitol expressway and was speeding when he ran a red light. the truck first hit a cyclist and then hit another pickup truck. the man on the bike died there at the scene. traffic was shut down for hours in all directions. i think everybody just needs to be aware. >> i think road safety is everyone's responsibility, so it includes being defensive on your own, right? i'm not sure that there's a whole lot that the bicyclist could have done here. if you're following the rules of the road. somebody wasn't. and unfortunately, that's what occurred. >> now, this was the 17th fatal collision in san jose. so far this year. and police say that particular intersection is among the most dangerous in the city for the number of crashes every year. now, san jose mayor matt

mehan, in a statement said, quote, these deaths are far too often the consequence of distracted and reckless driving, and i applaud the work of our police department and district attorney who will arrest and prosecute those who put residents at risk on our roadways. >> filmmaker john waters is recovering after a car crash. waters is known for cold classics like pink flamingos and crybaby. he was hit by a cargo van in maryland this week, a report by the baltimore sun says the driver of the van ran a red light and rammed into waters 2015 buick lacrosse. he was kept in the hospital overnight in response to the accident, the 78 year old said, quote, it hurts when i laugh, but all is okay. >> our time is now. 409 will bay area drivers have a tough time? two bay area cities made the top of the list of the worst cities in the country for drivers. oakland was named as the worst city in the nation for drivers.

san francisco came in number three. the study, conducted by forbes advisor, evaluated driving conditions across 47 densely populated cities. the city of oakland had the top spot for several reasons, including a high number of deadly crashes, very high gas prices, and long commute times. miami came in number two. houston was number four. >> today is national wine walk, bike and roll to school day to mark the occasion, marin, santa clara and solano counties are holding special events for students in petaluma. extra police officers will be in and around multiple school zones as part of a safe routes to school safety operation, so watch out for all those kids walking and rolling to school today. all right, let's check in steve paulson. >> lots of sunshine today on the menu and warmer temps here. a little bit of a northerly breeze is kicking in as a little low

starts to backtrack towards southern cal. well actually southern arizona, but you can see a little northerly breeze. not too crazy, although mount tam north at 31, that's a north wind up in the oakland berkeley hills north at 34 right above the claremont. so that's going to translate into warmer temps. fairfield north gusting to 23. santa rosa north. so temps are on their way up. start a little bit yesterday. it'll be more so today. probably topping out thursday. upper 80s is the way it's kind of looking here. 40s 50s 60s if you get a breeze. napa airport it's 63. vacaville 63. and otherwise you get 40s and 50s a little cooler up towards, some areas to mendocino county, lake county, but middletown and konocti are in the 50 sonoma napa. there's your north breeze, 60s. although healdsburg is at 46 point, ray's at 46. so there's some cool ones and there's some warm ones here. 2333 truckee, south lake tahoe, 70 already in palm springs, arcadia at 39 degrees. my goodness. high pressure though this is a dry pattern this week. and what happens is this low

will backtrack a little bit. a piece of it will. it looks like it's going to stay in southern arizona or southern nevada, northern arizona and not drag drag across southern california. but still, we'll get a warmer pattern here. summer like pattern here. sunny and warmer and no fog coast. even the coast will warm up, so look for 60s 70s and some 80s. >> san francisco's taking action to better protect first responders. the effort to change how firefighters gear is made. plus with covid, let's go! >> soccer fans were out in the south bay for a match between the oakland roots and the san jose earthquakes. why? this could be the start of

wide ban. the social media app and its chinese parent company have filed a lawsuit against the us. their suit challenges a new law that could ban the app in america if it's not sold to a new buyer within nine months. tiktok officials argue the law is an unconstitutional attack on free speech. however, lawmakers feel tiktok poses a national security risk. >> they're trying to make it about free speech. this bill was focused on national security that tiktok is a destructive tool pointed at the united states of america, and especially our children. no constitutional right to own property when it is against the national security. >> tiktok's parent company says it currently has no plans to sell if tiktok loses this lawsuit and refuses to find a new owner, it could disappear from american app stores. >> our time is now. 415 president biden approved a new law that strengthens penalties for websites and social media

companies that fail to report sex and abuse crimes against children. this is the first time the platforms have been required to report federal trafficking and enticement crimes to the national center for missing and exploited children. the law increases the fines on companies that knowingly or willfully don't report child sex abuse materials, and the evidence of these crimes is now required to be preserved longer, allowing more time for investigations. >> well, thousands of fans headed to paypal park for a big game between the oakland roots and the san jose earthquakes. it was the first competitive match between the two teams, and the quakes took home the victory. >> but as ktvu lamonica peters tells us, the fans say they hope it's not the last time these two teams play each other. >> with bay area bragging rights on the line. san jose earthquakes fans say they were looking forward to playing the roots.

>> i was with san jose from going long back before the roots even started, but, and i'm also on this side of the bay, so it's an easier commute for me. >> the lamar hunt us open cup gives semi-pro teams like the oakland roots a chance to play major league soccer teams like the san jose earthquakes. this is the first time the teams played one another in a competitive match. this earth quakes fan says he loves dressing up for games, and the idea of playing a crosstown rival. >> the rivalry is always good for two teams because the both teams will grow, especially oakland being right next to us and oakland staying at the bay because everyone else are gone. >> oakland roots fans also made their presence known at the earthquakes home game, sitting together in one section, chanting and waving flags. >> i'm here because the roots need our support. they need us

to be here. they need us to shout out. that's how here roots fans also say this matchup is another way to show how much they want teams to stay in oakland. >> the fans. >> we never quit, so we're going to haunt john fisher to the end of eternity no matter where he goes. he owns the san jose earthquakes. >> we're here being from oakland, there's some hard feelings with john fisher that owns the a's and the earthquakes, so there's a little extra motivation there for us. >> i think now this is the fourth round and after more games are played on wednesday, there will be 16 teams left in the tournament. the earthquakes will either play the sacramento republic or the monterey bay football club. lamonica peters ktvu, fox two news thank you. >> lamonica. well, the giants play the second game of their series in denver later today. the giants were looking to avoid another loss after dropping four straight in philadelphia in the series opener against the rockies last night. rookie kyle harrison pitched seven scoreless innings and the offense finally seemed to wake up with a four

run inning. giants snapped a four game losing streak with a50 win against the rockies. the a's will play a doubleheader at the coliseum against the texas rangers today. the a's look to bounce back after losing the series opener, but the rangers put on a show in front of about 4000 fans in oakland, texas set a season high with 19 hits. they also had 15 runs. a's lost 15 to 8, their third straight loss after going on a six game winning streak. >> our time now for 18. the san jose sharks will have the number one pick in this year's nhl draft. for the first time in the sharks history. i take it they're excited. the first pick is expected to be macklin celebrini from boston university, who is also the son of warriors head of sports medicine rick celebrini. the sharks will also have the 14th overall pick in the draft. the draft will be held june 28th at

the las vegas sphere, where they could certainly use that number one draft pick. and he's supposed to be really good. >> yeah, yeah, i know steve would would agree. the sharks could use use a little help. >> deserved a number one pick. it's the sharks. seriously. yes. so that's a good pick. they'll get celebrini for sure. he has san jose and local ties. >> yeah it's awesome. >> yeah. so good for the sharks. they need a boost of some good energy there. and they got it. all right. we're warming up here and temperatures will start to jump. i mean inland temps maybe by thursday could bump up to near 90 for some. although there's a huge discrepancy between the gfs and the other couple of what we call the forecast temps on the model output. so we'll we'll ease into it. it'll warm up. there's a decent north breeze, especially in the oakland berkeley hills. it's already kicked in out to fairfield as well. santa rosa north and everything's coming down from the north is that little piece of energy from this low is backtracking. that's kind of the key little piece of this is going to drop. it looks like

it wants to settle in around las vegas and not back into southern california or central. that makes a huge difference. everything i've seen puts it in southern nevada or northern arizona, which, you know, we still get an offshore breeze, but not a roaring one, is the way it looks for so far, the water temps are incredibly cold. point race 50, san francisco bowie 50. when we get these warm temps, all it will take is a little push from a west wind and that fog will roar back, but probably not for a couple of days. 40s, 50s to 60s, napa and vacaville, both at 63 brentwood, 62. pittsburgh 61 because they have that north breeze, but a lot of 40s, 50s on the temps. 2333 truckee, south lake tahoe, 31 alturas and also mammoth grass valley, though at 50. so for the next couple of days it's all about sunshine, dry conditions and warmer temps. i do think though, with that cold, cold ocean temps it won't take much to get the fog back, but it won't be until probably friday, maybe saturday as the way it looks. nothing showing up rain wise yet. i think we have to

wait till around the 21st before any hint shows up. so it's a dry pattern for a while. it makes sense. you know we're getting long in the season here, but warmer for all, sunny and warmer, a little northerly breeze and 70s and 80s on the thames. >> all right. see you. thank you. time is 421. it's been less than two years since a san francisco street dancer was killed by his girlfriend. and she will soon be released from prison. we'll let you hear what his family is saying while they're still struggling with this news and a breakthrough in alzheimer's disease research. >> the reason scientists think certain genes may be to blame [text messages spoken] cdrone714: open the door! cam! come, on cam, cameron.

which charges ultimately get resolved has not been a feature of this case management system, which also just came online in the fall of 2019. >> the da's office had just started using the system when covid forced the courts to shut down, price says her office hopes to launch a public dashboard that details the stats on case resolutions by the end of the year. >> time is 638, and we do have some traffic that is going to be typically slow for example, at the bay bridge, we're going to go to the triple a traffic camera and show you that it is backed up for about a 20 minute delay before you make it on to the span. the san mateo bridge is okay. i promised you a look at the south bay, and here we go. the grid doesn't show a lot, except for some slowing on northbound 101 approaching the 880 interchange. but that's about it. so if you're a south bay driver, you may want to get out of the, you know, get out of the house now to avoid everything that usually happens
