year. meanwhile another problem for united airlines. this time it involves the well- known former coach for the giants. launching an investigation. video appears to show hensley mulands, sit investigate cockpit of the united charter mid flight. he was the giants hitting coach for their three world series title. he's now with the colorado rockies. he posted the video himself, but has since been deleted. he's sitting in the cockpit as you see there, using the controls. this is. u.n.'s cockpit visit happened at altitude. that caption on the post will lank what they say only certain people are allowed into the cockpit. united released a statement to us calling the video, "deeply disturbing." it went on to say, "as a clear violation of our safety and

operational policies, we've reported the incident to the faa and have withheld the pilots. united is facing scrutiny over series of recent mishaps. that indeludes the wheels falling off the flight right after takeoff at sfo. the santa rosa superintendent is stepping down in june. serving as superintendent since july of 2021 during her tenure. schools have dealt with high- profile incidents including a deadly stabbing last year at montgomery high school. in a separate incident, a 14- year-old was arrested for ripping out another student's fair during a fight. a student at cal is making history by being elected to the city council. >> i'm running on april 16 to

nationalism i put a lot. >> at this chevron in san jose, aaa says it is not unusual for gas prices begin to rise with the arrival of spring. as for what will happen next, it seems the recent rise in prices may be stalling. attributing that to lackluster demand for gasoline domestically along with decreasing oil prices, despite rising tensions in the middle east. well, i'm going to go ahead and turn to our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri now. a lot of people are really paying attention to the weekend and what it will be looking like. >> we are shaping up really excellent here in the forecast. all because of this area of high pressure. we have some rainfall, super close heading into washington and oregon. but this is moving in a just right spot to keep that rainfall allove. there will be some fog in the morning. let me show you more details on that and also when rainfall eventually comes back. okay. let's move it in to saturday morning. 7:00 and 8:00, we have that fog
