>> good morning rosemary. yeah you know what we do have a commute that's settled down a little bit. let's go to the east shore freeway and show you the time to drive, let's say from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze is 32 minutes. seems a little windy out there from the camera bouncing up and down the bay bridge toll plaza. delay is about typical for this time. and if you're driving across other bay area bridges like the san mateo bridge, those bridges are normally congested, but nothing major. blocking lanes at the moment. 701 let's get back to the headlines and happening today. >> berkeley superintendent of schools is part of a congressional hearing on anti-semitism. the district has been accused of doing a poor job of handling cases of bullying and harassment of jewish students. ever since the hamas attack on israel. >> now, ktvu is james torres is in berkeley now to tell us what to expect this morning on capitol hill. good morning james. >> dave. good morning to you. well, that hearing set to start within the next 15 minutes here. it's a hearing led by the house committee on education and the workforce. they've held very

similar meetings for universal presidents and leaders. but today will be the first time that we've had a conversation on anti-semitism with public schools, k through 12 throughout the country. now these types of hearings have happened often over the last few months here. since that attack on israel on october 7th. and, of course, israel's retaliation in gaza since. and it's led to the resignations of university presidents at penn and at harvard. berkeley superintendent and former mattel is one of three school leaders across the country called to testify in front of this house committee. she'll answer questions alongside representatives from a school district in maryland and in new york, each having been accused of their local communities of facilitating a culture of bullying. jewish students and not properly handling complaints when they arise. here in berkeley, complaints have been led by the brandeis center for human rights and the anti-defamation league. they argue berkeley's unified school district ignored incidents where jewish students

were taunted and exposed to such language like, quote, kill the jews or, quote, kill israel. their complaints also note an incident where an art teacher showed images of people punching through a star of david. berkeley school board releasing a statement of support for its superintendent, saying in part, berkeley unified school district stands against anti-semitism, islamophobia and hate in all forms. this is reiterated in the hate motivated behavior policy the board passed last year, which the superintendent has been charged to implement. that house committee hearing will be streamed live from washington, d.c. we will be watching it and bringing you updates and comments as the morning progresses. it's set to start within the next 15 minutes. we're live this morning from berkeley. i'm james torres, ktvu , fox two news. >> okay, james thank you. time now 704 where we're still watching the city of richmond and following what's happened with a broken water main that's flooding streets there. east bay mud says a 12 inch cast iron water main ruptured hours ago

this morning. it happened around south 45th and carlson street near kennedy high school. the work crews are out there. they've been out there for quite some time, shutting down the water main and fixing the damage . several nearby homes are affected and they don't have running water right now. traffic, as you can imagine, is being diverted around this scene. you're looking at, and the public is being told to stay away. now, we're told it will take at least through the middle of the morning to fix this problem. in richmond, two former students who sued saint francis high school in mountain view have been awarded $1 million. >> the plaintiff said that school administrators forced them out over an alleged blackface photo. the former students say they were wearing black anti acne facial masks. santa clara jury sided with the students at the school, violated a non-disclosure agreement. school leaders say they're exploring legal options, including an appeal. >> our time now, 705, will demonstraters around the nation,

urged israel to end its offensive in rafah. the israeli military says it seized control of that border crossing at the southern edge of gaza. protesters from seattle to austin to atlanta took part in what's called hands off rafah rallies and pro-palestinian protesters at uc berkeley also held a hands off rafah rally. >> hundreds of students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members filled sproul plaza. it's been nearly two weeks since a pro-palestine encampment sprouted up at cal. 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 the power to stop. >> protest organizers want the university to divest its financial holdings in companies that have ties to israel's military, and stanford university is reminding students

there that the encampment at white plaza violates university policies. >> officials say it goes against the policy on overnight camping and on the equitable use of the plaza. the university says disciplinary cases are proceeding and more names of students are being submitted. some may have their diplomas held while the cases are processed, and stanford warns encampment encampment members that they could be suspended. >> the biden administration says israel's move to take control of the rafah crossing between gaza and egypt is not the full scale invasion of gaza that 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 that it be shut down. >> this was a, a very limited operation designed to cut off, hamas's ability to smuggle more weapons and fire into gaza.

>> the biden administration has been discouraging israel from launching a full scale ground operation in rafah, where more than a million displaced palestinians have taken shelter. the u.s. reportedly paused a shipment of bombs to israel last week over concerns they would be used in an assault on rafah. we have you covered throughout mornings on two and beyond here on the air. you can also find more coverage of the war in gaza and reaction anytime at ktvu.com. >> our time now is 707. an arrest was made and a man is now in jail after he ran a red light at a very busy intersection in san jose and killed a cyclist. it happened yesterday morning at east capitol expressway and center road, about 730 in the morning. investigators say the driver of a red pickup truck was going westbound on capitol expressway and was speeding when he ran a red light. the truck first hit a cyclist, then hit another pickup truck. the man on the bike died there. at the scene, traffic was shut down for hours in all directions.

>> as 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. the police say that particular intersection is among the most dangerous in san jose for the number of crashes every year. 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. >> happening today it is national bike walk and roll to school day. to mark the occasion, marin, santa clara and solano counties, among others, are holding special events for students in petaluma. extra police officers will be in and around school zones as part of a safe route to school safety operation. this whole month is

national bike safety month. thousands of children suffer head injuries every year from falling off their bikes, health experts say parents should make sure their children ride with the proper gear. all riders under the age of 18 are required by law to wear a helmet, and they must follow the rules of the road. this goes for children riding bikes, scooters, those toy motorized vehicles, as well as e-bikes and e-scooters. >> time is 709 and we're looking at a decent commute. we haven't had a lot of major crashes. we've had the normal slowdowns that we usually see. let's go to the golden gate bridge, where traffic is light and the picture is beautiful. the wind seems to have forced all the clouds away. rosemary will be here in a minute with a little bit of slow traffic. not literally a minute. pretty soon though, this is a look at westbound 80 carquinez bridge to the mac. mays 33 minute drive. and at the bay bridge, we have a 20 minute drive before you make it onto the span. san mateo bridge traffic is moderate. we've also been looking at slow traffic on highway four westbound, and we had an earlier stalled vehicle

crash westbound at the alta, not the altamont pass, the willow pass grade that is causing slow traffic. it normally is slow anyway, but if you look on the grade here, you will see some slow traffic heading over to concord 710. let's go back to the desk. okay, sam. >> well, the big financial problems facing the san francisco unified school district. we're going to bring you a live report about last night's emergency meeting. and the major budget cuts expected to affect students. >> first, though, a ride to the future, details on an autonomou car company's a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business. and now, we're introducing ultimate speed for business —our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds... at no additional cost. it's ultimate speed for ultimate business.

miles long. the narrow roadway system will stretch from antioch to oakley and have 56 boarding stations and. so you can take a glide car in the future by walking maybe five minutes, going to an access point, which is a station, a glide phase station, and it takes you to the antioch bart station without ever stopping. >> always a predictable journey time. >> the autonomous shuttle can seat up to four passengers, and you'll be able to use. an app to request a shuttle, the same as you would with uber or lyft. >> this is something that you can actually see and feel and experience later in a few minutes. >> company officials say the project is cheaper than other mass transit services as well, and they say it will only cost a fraction of what it would cost to install railway tracks. the first section of the roadway

between brentwood and antioch is expected to be finished by 2027, and the transit network expected to launch dave by 2030. >> okay, andre. thank you. time now. 717 will. bay area drivers have some rough roads to go over. two bay area cities just made the list of the worst cities in the country for drivers. oakland was named the worst city in the nation for drivers. san francisco came in at number three. the study was conducted by forbes advisor. they looked at driving conditions across 47 densely populated cities. oakland was number one for several reasons, including a high number of deadly crashes, very high gasoline prices and long commute times. miami came in number two. houston was number four. all right. >> let's see what's happening in oakland when it comes to the morning commute. and we'll look beyond as well sal. >> all right. yeah we're looking at the east bay in general. and we're going to head the check out the people who are heading over to oakland. first of all, let's start with the contra

costa county area and westbound highway four is slow. now we did check the camera. we didn't see anything unusual there. when it comes to highway four. in fact, i for some reason it's not coming up on my board here. but i had kevin check the camera. we didn't see anything there, so it looks like it's just slow traffic left over from an earlier incident. let's talk about 580. some slow traffic there. you can see that traffic is moving along relatively well. okay. it looks like i may have gotten it back. all right, let's go. kevin turned the camera toward concord. you could see it is kind of slow there. okay, now let's go to the south bay and northbound two, 80, 101 and 85. we're easing into that commute. it's not terrible. you still have a little time, i believe, before it gets even worse. 718 what about today's weather? let's bring rosemary in. >> well, it's going to be a warm up that most people will be talking about from the coast inland. meanwhile along the coast. it's going to be gorgeous over the next few days. if you have an opportunity to get out and enjoy giving you a live look here over san francisco, we have alcatraz in view. the coast guard monitoring the waters,

helping to keep us all safe. how about what is going on up above? we have a ridge over the pacific that is going to continue to strengthen, and that is going to eventually push that storm track well into canada. meanwhile, systems continue to drop on the backside here, and with those two combined, we are looking at a tighter gradient that northeast flow that will be with us over the next few days. that is what is going to again, bring us the breezy conditions at times, but the warmer conditions for everyone right now mount veeder reporting a 24mph. we have big rock reporting 19. our north bay hills and mountains actually have an advisory, a wind advisory that begins during the overnight hours for the carquinez strait as well as the delta. it starts late tonight, but it goes until thursday morning for wind gusts expected to reach 45mph at times. so if your commute is through the delta, the carquinez strait area , perhaps a highway 86, 87, 80,

you're going to find some that wind out there over the next couple of days. meanwhile, the futurecast model shows you again what i was talking about a moment ago. we've got that ridge well into canada by thursday morning. the system here continues to even sink a little bit farther south and west, and the northeast flow is what is going to provide us with this little taste of summer for the next few days. and then as we get into the weekend, it breaks down, the onshore breeze returns, a little bit of fog, and by mother's day going to be more comfortable and even a little bit cool for our coastline. temperatures across the bay area right now where we do have the wind, you can see the difference 63 degrees right now in san francisco in the north bay, where it is calm. we have upper 40s in santa rosa. afternoon highs for today, a beautiful 70 in pacifica. looking good. san francisco at 74, upper 70s to low 80s around the bay as well as inland 81 in concord. for today, 83 in the north bay of napa. by tomorrow, temperatures are in the upper 80s for our inland cities,

peaking on friday for our inland communities. but by the afternoon on friday, notice our bayside communities as well as the coast beginning to feel that sea breeze. and then the cooling trend will continue into the weekend. back to you, rosemary. >> thank you. billions in refunds made in coming back to investors who lost millions. details about where the money is coming from after the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange ftx. >> but first, dramatic video. look at this, showing the moment that a boeing 767 jet no nosedived on the tarmac at airport. we'll

nosedive while landing on a runway just dramatic video shows a boeing 767 trying to land without its front landing gear. you saw the smoke as the plane screeched across the runway before it stopped. it was flying from paris when the crew alerted air traffic control. it was his landing gear just would not open. thankfully no one was hurt. >> as part of wildfire preparedness week, cal fire held a demonstration to show the importance of having defensible space around a home. this cal fire demonstration simulates what can happen when embers from a wildfire land near a house. if there are trees and brush too close to a home or fence, the house is far more likely to burn . >> this is a week that we can

online. >> in march, this very same pet store had a french bulldog valued at more than $5,000 stolen in the same way. so far, no arrests have been made in either case. authorities say the criminals will resell these animals and this kind of crime is happening all over the country. time is 726 budget cuts, said the san francisco unified school district could lead to schools being closed. we talked with school district leaders say has to be done to prevent some major cuts. >> the wife of a former major league baseball player who's facing murder charges appears in court. what happened in the courtroom as part f a trial over

fact that the district's earlier budget cut plans outlined $52 million in proposed cuts, but did not specify where those cuts would come from. >> as you look out to your projections and you look at deficit spending and you say, we're going to correct that deficit spending with $1 million of cuts, what are the cuts? and ladies and gentlemen, that's your job question. >> parents and community members who read the audit criticized the district's focus on administrative spending over the past decade and its lack of budget transparency. >> see, you haven't had a financial officer for years, page nine calls out the overuse of consultants. why are we not managing this better? you're going to close schools instead of fix what's going on down there. >> right now, we're in a position where we can at least see the dots that need to connect, and so it may feel worse, but having the conversation is the first step

to the repair. now this presentation comes just days after state officials sent a letter to the district on friday, letting them know that the state is assigning some fiscal advisors to sf, usd, and those advisors from the california department of education will have approval and veto power over the district's budget decisions for the next two years. >> the projected budget deficit for sf, usd 420 million by next year, like many school districts in the state, the district is facing declining enrollment, but the audit found that the district loses about 500 students every year to private schools, and that that trend is expected to continue now. sf usd has until this summer to work with those state appointed fiscal advisors to come up with a new plan to fix its deficit and revenue problems. the san francisco school board will have another meeting to discuss the budget next wednesday. garcia and dave, back to you, ali. >> thank you. happening today at a school board meeting in santa rosa, teachers and parents will call on the oak grove union school district to prioritize

bilingual communication. si se puede. >> si se puede. si. >> parents have been demonstrating in recent months chanting in spanish yes we can. the group wants the district to immediately reinstate a bilingual liaison, a position that was eliminated in march due to budget cuts. spanish speaking parents say that liaison was often the only way they could communicate with the district, learn how to fill out applications and understand their child's studies. >> vemos padres no hablamos el idioma there are many parents who we don't speak the language and we want to be part of our kids education without a bilingual liaison, how can we be heard? >> how can we be in the decision making at our kids schools? >> teachers are supporting parents and say without that liaison, spanish speaking parents face great cultural and classroom barriers. teachers also say that first generation students may have a harder time getting into college. >> the vital role in helping them understand the forms that

are, you know, pretty lengthy, i think that it's absolutely an issue of not only language justice, but just, you know, social justice that we are preventing the families from really being a part of the community. >> nearly 30% of the students in the district are hispanic. the part time liaison is a 15 hour a week position at $24,000 a year. the school district says it's been forced to lay off staff and cut programs as it deals with declining funding. the superintendent sent a response to ktvu, saying the district understands and is committed to providing avenues of communication for our community, including our parents and guardians who are not fluent in english, and to provide translation services for those who need it. >> our time now. 736. the family of a san francisco street performer who was killed two years ago by his girlfriend is fighting to keep her behind bars. sarah buchanan was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the death of

jordan sempler, a street dancer who often performed at pier 39. he was found stabbed to death in his apartment back in november of 2022. his girlfriend, sarah buchanan, was convicted. she received a three year sentence, but she may be released next month. >> there is a great issue with men that suffer with domestic violence, but it's something that's not visible or it's not, focused on. i see a man that loved his craft. jordan was very happy in bringing smiles to other people lives and their faces. >> now, the san francisco district attorney's office issued this statement, quote, we take each case seriously and put on the best case we can based on the facts, the evidence and the law to meet our burden of proof. in this case, we sought a conviction for murder and the jury returned a conviction of involuntary manslaughter. now

sarah buchanan's defense attorney said in part, the verdict was both fair and just because it was based on the applicable law and relevant evidence presented at the trial. the sempler family may file a civil lawsuit against sarah buchanan, new this morning. >> the wife of a former baseball player accused in her father's murder testified in a placer county courtroom. this hearing focused on surveillance video near the lake tahoe home where the shooting happened. prosecutors say they think aaron spoor's husband, dan serafini, shot and killed her father and attempted to kill her mother in 2021 while she was on the stand. her attorney cited spousal privilege and instructed her not to answer most of the prosecutor's questions. >> okay, guys, the time is 738, right back to sal castaneda. you've been busy today. what's happening on the roads now? >> yeah, it is busy. although we haven't had a lot of major events, mostly a normal commute, which some would say is okay, you can accept that. let's go to

the bay bridge toll plaza and you can see that it is backed up there for a little bit. there have been no major issues there, but that's at least a 20 minute delay. but looking around to see if there are any crashes reported in that area and there haven't been, we do have a look at the commute in the east bay 680 and highway four have been slow and we've also been looking at the commute from hayward heading south to fremont and san jose. most of the slow traffic is between hayward and fremont. it gets better by the time you reach milpitas. let's talk about san jose. two 8101 85. all pretty crowded. look at that screen. and also southbound 680 at king in fact, i'm sorry, it's the king onramp to northbound 680 in san jose. there is a crash there. according to chp. 739 let's talk about today's weather. here's rosemary. yes >> good morning sal. thank you. we have a beautiful view out towards the water this morning giving you a live look at ocean beach and murphy windmill. isn't that just a spectacular view? we

been reported within the school district, and each time, she says, school leaders have taken action when investigations show that an anti-semitic event has occurred, we take action to teach, correct and redirect our students. >> we do not publicly share our actions because student information is private and legally protected under federal and state law. as a result, some believe we do nothing. this is not true. >> berkeley school board releasing a statement of support for its superintendent, saying in part, berkeley unified school district stands against anti-semitism, islamophobia and hate in all forms. this is reiterated in the hate motivated behavior policy the board passed last year, which the superintendent has been charged to implement. superintendent martel definitely mentioned that in her opening statements as well. she says that there's also action taken whenever teachers are violating that policy, which she again said it was protected by state law. and usually those conversations are not had

invasion of gaza. 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, and thus was important to have it shut down. >> this was a, a very limited operation designed to cut off, hamas's ability to smuggle more weapons and funding into gaza. >> the biden administration has been discouraging israel from launching a full scale ground operation in rafah, where more than a million displaced palestinians have taken shelter. the u.s. reportedly paused a shipment of bombs to israel last week over concerns they'd be used in an assault on rafah. we have you covered throughout mornings on two and beyond here on the air. you can also find more coverage of the war in gaza and reaction at ktvu .com. >> 807 is your time to former students who sued. saint francis high school in mountain view have been awarded $1 million. the plaintiffs claim school administrators forced them out over an alleged blackface photo. the former students say they were wearing black anti acne

this year. and police say that 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. >> happening today, it's national bike walk and roll to school day to mark the occasion in santa clara and solano counties, among others, are holding special events for students up in petaluma. extra police officers are available in and around school zones as part of a safe routes to school safety operation. members of the santa rosa police department are taking to social media as well, to remind people to drive safely in school zones. >> speed limit in school zones is 25mph, while children are present, but is 25mph always the safest speed. remember for children coming and going from schools may be walking, crossing the street or riding their bicycles, as the police department is also reminding

200 autonomous glide cars servicing points or stations, as they're called. >> every few blocks along the dedicated concrete pathway. >> and so you can take a glide car in the future by walking maybe five minutes, going to an access point, which is a station, a glide phase station. >> once at the pick up point, you use your app to hail a driverless glide car, much as you would an uber or lyft, a car dedicated to your trip and your trip only for a party of up to four or baggage or a bike. >> and it takes you to the antioch bart station without ever stopping. always a predictable journey time because building this, even with a dedicated pathway, is very light construction. >> it can be done very quickly and it can be done far, far cheaper than dedicated rail systems. and in that sense it is superior. it's way, way cheaper than putting in railway tracks. if it costs $1 billion a mile to build a 28 mile system, that's 28 billion. >> that's just math. our system

is going to cost a fraction, ten, 20% of that. >> another glide waste project is to set up a system to connect san jose airport to rail transit. tom vacar, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, let's get out the door. 818 how's traffic? so gasia, i'm glad you asked that question, it's okay in some spots and not very good in others, that's the general consensus. let's start with highway four, where it's improving, coming over from concord to pittsburgh or from pittsburgh to concord and over to the 242 680 interchange. it's getting a little better, which is good. finally, bay bridge also seems a little better, although it is still very crowded. and these commutes in the on 80 westbound are still slow from el sobrante into berkeley, 880 south between hayward and fremont, all very typical. you know, what's not typical is we had a crash shut down 85, near de anza and that caused a lot of slow traffic on

northbound 85. so if you live in east san jose, you're trying to use 85. this morning. you're going to notice right away it is much slower than usual. 819 should be a nice day today. here's rosemary. >> it's going to be a fabulous one, especially if you like warmer weather after the weekend storm that brought rain to the bay area. snow to the sierra. we struggled in the 50s. do you remember all that? quite the change going on. in fact, temperatures are already rebounding this morning, giving you a beautiful view there of the pacific and point bonita. we will have temperatures in the 70s for our coastline today right now thursday looks to be the warmest for everybody before we begin to transition on friday, our storm tracker two here the ridge a locked in over the west. we have the system here to the east of us that is going to continue to sink south. meanwhile, this ridge will continue to push towards the north and towards the east. and with that, our offshore flow, our northeasterly flow is going to strengthen into the coming days. right now, sonoma mountain

reporting in from the north at 31mph, we have atlas peak reporting from the north at 29mph. but that breeze out there in some areas already driving our temperatures and at some point the wind could be an issue into the overnight hours for our north bay mountains, as well as during the late night hours into the overnight hours for the delta and the carquinez strait. so the winds begin to ramp up today. but by tonight, this wind advisory expected to move in and last until early thursday morning. for those areas, the futurecast model i'm going to show you here what we're talking about with this pattern. notice the ridge now pushing all the way into canada. you also notice this system here providing that circulation. the counterclockwise circulation. and for us we are just right within that northeast flow there and it lasts all the way into friday a little bit on saturday begins to weekend, but by mother's day on sunday, notice the switch here we have a low off the coastline that's helping

us with the onshore breeze and likely to bring back the fog as well. little dip here indicating a little bit of a trough over areas of the pacific northwest. so for the weekend, temperatures do begin to drop in right now. sunday looks like it will be the cooler day. meanwhile, outside our door at this hour 64 for san francisco for the inner east bay 63 in livermore, san jose at 61. afternoon highs for today 70. pacifica 74, san francisco upper 70s, low 80s for our bayside communities as well as inland, looking at 84 for you today. antioch. the extended forecast here warmer tomorrow. but on friday we begin to transition. now, this time of year, it takes an extra day before inland cities begin to fill the onshore breeze. but by friday, a little bit cooler at the coast as well as our bayside communities. and then that trend continues into the weekend, with sunday looking like a low 80s for our inland communities, right around 70 around the bay and low 60s up the coast. back to you, rosemary. >> thank you. billions of dollars in refunds may be coming
