the suspect ran into their garage. they quickly ran out of the home, and police then began negotiating with the suspect to surrender. >> it was a lot of conversation. it was an excellent work by our negotiators who were in constant communication. some pa announcements, some phone conversation, and after a fair amount of time, he agreed to come out. >> police say the suspect is connected to a shooting and has outstanding warrants for his arrest. they've also recovered a gun near the scene. investigators are looking into whether the weapon belonged to the suspect. >> poor leadership, poor management and poor communication. that is what an oakland city auditor says is the reason leaders missed the chance to get a $15 million grant to combat organized retail theft. ktvu james torres has been investigating this and is here with details of the city auditor's report and the changes the city still has yet to make. james. yeah >> andre, i've already talked to a number of people who are reacting to the report, learning the details this morning. they say they're not really all that

surprised to learn that the city kind of handled this all pretty poorly, but they are disturbed to see how much dysfunction appeared to be when handling this process of the application. now, the city auditor published a 37 page report that came out yesterday, and we read every single page of it. and bringing to you all those details, it pretty much lists out every step of the way. that city hall, the mayor's office, the police department and other city staff couldn't successfully submit a full application to earn that organized retail that offered a theft application grant offered by the state. now in it, the auditor identified four major missteps, calling the process to apply for the grant disjointed. acting city auditor michael houston reports a lack of leadership, a lack of project management, poor interdepartmental communication and a lack of grant management policy all contributed to that blunder, some of that falling on oakland mayor shang tao, the report says while the mayor is not directly responsible for grant applications, she is responsible for offering

guidance to the city administrator and could have, quote, exercised better leadership. the report also puts blame on the oakland police department, saying it originally took the lead on the grant but ultimately forfeited that lead when other city departments opted to step in through a public records request. ktvu learned. police found out about the grant application last april, but took no meaningful action until days before the due date. that's when the economic workforce development department stepped in and took the reins, according to the city auditor of the 85 days, the application process was open, the city was only fully engaged for about 16 days. this morning, i spoke to city council member noel gallo and he told me that is unacceptable. >> if you say police public safety related item and the police department needs to be involved in it, take leadership role because they do this for a living. you know, we at the council level, you know, most of us, all we do is talk, talk, talk, talk about it. but i need

to rely on the department that has responsibility when it comes to public safety. and that is our police department. >> and gallo told me, despite kind of the bits of blame that this report puts on, a number of different departments, he says ultimately, the mayor and the city administrator need to be held accountable. city staff have been working on the grant pretty much up until minutes before the deadline, with more than one person in different departments sharing a login credential. the report also mentions the number of people serving in interim positions during the application process. that included the city administrator, the police chief, as well as the pd director. three different departments that put their hands on that grant application. now, the grant, rather, the report recommends that the city now look into implementing a grant management policy as well as hiring that centralized grants coordinator, something we heard from mayor shengtao several times since this news originally broke. we are still learning todayat posin

hired. and according to the auditor's report, that management policy is set to be implemented by this december. we're live this morning in oakland. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james, thank you. now to this story with all the time, money and stress involved in a wedding, some newlywed couples are opting for a mini moon instead of a full fledged honeymoon. wedding planners say one issue is time off from work. if couples take vacation time before the wedding, maybe they have to plan their own wedding. a lot of couples do. they may not be able to get more time off after to have a long honeymoon. so instead, some couples are taking a shorter, less expensive mini moon. >> it's not about where you go. it's not about how much money you spend. it's not about the length. it's having that time after you are pulled in a lot of different directions and everyone is looking at you and celebrating you to really spend time with each other, our mini moon could be just a long weekend somewhere nearby, and then some couples will schedule

a longer honeymoon later on. >> we want some viewer reaction, considering the time, cost and work commitments. this morning we're asking, would you choose a mini moon over a honeymoon? your options are yes. it's cheaper. no, i'd splurge or no trip at all. just scan the qr code you see at the top right of your screen, or go to ktvu.com to vote. when i got married, i worked here and at the time we still did the ratings book in may. >> so did you go and get married in may? i did, we should be able to do nothing in may. i mean nothing, nothing that doesn't happen anymore. >> but back in the day. so my boss at the time says, okay, well take us, you know, take a little weekend. i realize you just got married and schedule your honeymoon for june. and we gladly did that because, you know, you did a mini moon way back before it was a thing. yeah, mini moon like a weekend away. and then we had a honeymoon later. right and we were able to go, you know, i don't know the tv business has changed now. ratings are every single day. >> yeah. >> digital whatever. yeah. back then may like you remember may

and november were off limits. so your job plays a big role into what you can do, right? >> right. and trips, family trips, vacations. >> right. and also money. i mean, i think the average honeymoon last year was around $5,700. and that's after your wedding. so yes, it kind of doesn't surprise me that most of you say you're opting for no trip at all either. big fat honeymoon, little tiny mini moon. you're like, i'm just going to pay those wedding bills and grow as a married couple at home and invest in smaller trips as well. >> it might be the smart move. someone told me the other day, she said because she got married, she says, don't spend money on a wedding. save it for a house. yeah that's what she told me. that's cool. i like that idea. so you know, you know, don't put all your eggs into the into the wedding and the honeymoon and all that. >> so a wedding is one day. yeah, a marriage is forever. so don't worry. i won't go deep on this. but we will keep checking your responses to our poll. it's up ktvu.com slash vote coming up. a potentially life changing decision delayed next on the nine how financial aid fumbles are causing students and colleges to push back their deadlines for a commitment. then, if you have to make a

>> i know we have two baseball games. i know you can't change anything. it's better to know now, sal, anything planned on outside, no, thankfully not steve, thankfully. so. saturday. what about saturday evening? i just want to. >> two out of three. so. okay there you go. two out of three ain't bad. steve. cold morning here. sunny and warmer. will be in town for two days today and tomorrow. friday will be that tweener day. that's when the fog will come back. water temps are incredibly cold. upper 40s, low 50s for may 1st. that tells me. and you. fog is not far away, even though it's clear today. cloudy, cool colder says rain on saturday. some of the lows this morning for may 1st. this deserves a wow. i mean upper lake 35, ukiah 37. boulder creek 37 near tomales 39 morgan hill is 40. hollister 40, pinole 40, and orinda, san anselmo and also sonoma all dropped to 41 degrees out of the gate. front runners, vacaville, napa airport and brentwood. they're already in the 60s. sfo, san carlos is. hey, so are we. so 50s? we've recovered pretty rapidly. there

is a slight easterly northerly breeze for a few. it's not that strong, but it is. there the high pressure system is just a wee bit too far to really make a huge impact. but all signs say warmer today. santa rosa, walnut creek, menlo park, san jose, up we go. 79, 80, 77 and 76 on the forecast highs. san francisco even getting above average, which has been a tall order lately. i'm going 66 today 6363, 62, 62 the last four days. what's the average high in may first? 63. so you've been right there. warmer temps will take us into today, tomorrow. and then just like that, it will just crumble and drop big time with a cold or rainy pattern moving in on saturday. all these systems have been moving into the pacific northwest. we're kind of in between those systems. so the breeze has been a huge factor. the last, what, 4 or 5 days here? it looks a little calmer today, although we'll still get one. and then today, tomorrow all about sunshine as that high builds in so sunny, warmer weather, temperatures a little bit above average, which was a

rarity in april. we'll get it for a couple of days here in may, and then a significant change looks like it's on the way for saturday. i'm trying to find something that says it's not happening, but so far forecast models have trended in pretty wet here for us, half inch to maybe an inch. but look in the sierra by monday we may be talking about some impressive early may snow totals in and around town. so again, three days away still could change, but i don't think so. they're all pretty much in lock step with it, may first sunshine though, looks good. temperatures a few upper 70s to near 80 today. tomorrow the coast is clear. changes start friday and then big changes on the weekend. >> steve thank you. today is may day, also known as international workers day, and there are several protests planned across the bay area. some are in response to the war in gaza and to support palestine. there are at least three planned in downtown san francisco, one in downtown oakland and another at the port of oakland. there is also a protest planned this afternoon in san jose. today is usually college decision day, but issues with financial aid

services of for students and schools to push back the deadline. >> the holdup stems from problems with the new version of the free application for federal student aid, or fafsa. fafsa forms the changes were supposed to simplify the process, but instead led to glitches and major delays. here in california, almost all the ucs have decided to extend the deadline for decision day. several cal state schools and other universities have extended the deadline as well. >> well, street vendors have new rules to follow. in san francisco, the board of supervisors passing an ordinance expanding the city's crackdown on illegal street vending. the ordinance clarifies the permit application process and requires certain vendors to register with the tax collector and pay fees. it also bans selling in residential districts. the ordinance follows a 90 day moratorium on street vending on mission street, issued in november, and then extended by another six months. >> a new monthly event is coming to san francisco, meant to revitalize a neighborhood that's been struggling to find its footing after the pandemic. it's called downtown first thursdays, a giant street party on second

the administration wants to reclassify cannabis as a less dangerous drug. now. right now, marijuana is listed as a schedule one controlled substance like heroin. the dea wants to lower cannabis to a schedule three, which is the same level as tylenol with codeine. dispensaries say changing that schedule is a step in the right direction, especially for states where marijuana is still prohibited. >> like, you know how they say milk is, like bad for you nowadays, but back in the day they're like, oh, it's strong for your bones. and now we're hearing the hard truth. it's the same thing with marijuana. they want to say it's a gateway drug enjoyment, pain relief, a way to get through the day and a way to see it. >> the aclu says this change is

long overdue because there's a racial disparity when it comes to marijuana and crimes. blacks and african americans are almost four times more likely to get arrested than white american residents. >> new this morning, a blood test may allow doctors to determine whether a person may be at high risk of suffering a stroke, according to a new ucla health study, a blood test that looks for high levels of specific molecules in the blood could help doctors calculate a person's risk for stroke. currently, the only way to determine a person's risk is to use a combination of imaging, such as an mri scan, as well as family history, among other factors. new research appears to confirm that being angry does increase your risk of a heart attack. researchers found that people who were asked to recall events that made them angry had impaired blood vessel function, which can lead to heart disease. researchers say the result of their study could help doctors encourage their patients who have anger issues, to better manage their emotions, to avoid heart health problems. >> doctors say mental health conditions in women could be elevated during the transitional

period before menopause. a new study looked at more than 9000 women from around the world. the authors found that as women get closer to menopause, their risk of depression rises by about 40% compared to women, pre-menopause . medical experts say around that time, hormone levels can fluctuate, leading to mood swings and other mental health symptoms such as depression. college students have launched a new app to help patients understand the health care system and save money. it's called health care navigator. you input your needs and the app tells you how to find physicians. procedure pricing, and more. it was built by nine students at rice university. the health care navigator team says it's planning on partnering with rice university to offer the app to students. well chaos erupts at ucla violent clashes between rival protest groups, prompting a massive police presence on campus. >> coming up on mornings on two the nine, we'll have firsthand accounts and shocking footage from the brawl that unfolded overnight. also ahead, major

wendy's orange dreamsicle frosty, this takes me back man. it's like taking a trip down memory lane. i didn't know they sold dreamsicles on memory lane. for the flavor that takes you back, get wendy's new orange dreamsicle frosty.

though we're dialing in that forecast. we'll keep you update throughout the morning. beginning in july. a new state

law bans hidden restaurant charges, including those service fees. a growing number of restaurants have been implementing surcharges to help pay their workers, while also moving away from a traditional tipping structure. some restaurant bar owners say that they're concerned how the impending change will have an impact on their bottom line. >> it's going to be a little bit of a hit. i think, because obviously it's less money in the pockets of the servers and the staff in general. inflation is a thing right now. so we're charging the bare minimum that we can charge as long as we make a profit. the california attorney general's office says the new law helps ensure customers know what they're in for, because a posted price will have to include the full amount that must be paid for any goods or services. >> later today, more guidelines will be released to help provide clarity on things like gratuities for large parties, private dining charges and other fees that have become common practice over the decades. so what do you think about banning all those little nickel and dime fees that tend to have an impact ? and what i hate is the surprise, right? if i'm at a nice place, i know i'm in for a

couple of hundred. whatever. don't surprise me at the end. >> and it just seems it just becomes it permeates into everything. can you imagine getting your like your shipping something you had shipped to your house and seeing additional charges to the bill? and that's what i feel like is happening so much now. you know, you expected it with the cable company, the phone company. now everyone's having these additional fees it gets it's getting out of control. i don't know if just because things are expensive right now. >> i heard a restaurant owner say that someone asked him, well, why not just, you know, raise your prices? he says it's psychology of, you know, raising prices might keep people away, but that little hidden fee at the end is not as bad. that's what i heard that person say. but i don't agree. i think that, like you said, everything should be up front. >> i mean, i'm happy to pay for service and pay more for good service, but you're right. if i look at the online menu, which i often do, and i'm like, oh, hamburgers, 30 bucks, i might not go, but if i say, oh, a hamburger is $22, then i will go and then i'll end up paying $30. do you know what i mean? but i see the shock of that number.

>> that's what it's tough to be a restaurateur. >> i have so much like compassion and i get what they're doing. and so that's why when we're able to, we support when we can. yeah. especially especially the poured their lives into these businesses. absolutely. all right. let's talk about something a bit of a trend that's popping up. we've been asking you throughout the night so far. are you kind of cutting the honeymoon in half, taking a mini moon instead of the big old fashioned, you know, two weeks overseas honeymoon? let's pop those numbers up if we can. you've been so good. and heading to ketv.com/vote and scanning the qr code to have your say. 30% of you say, yep, it's cheaper. do the mini moon. more than half say no. i like to splurge. give me those two weeks in barbados or whatever. these numbers have flipped significantly because earlier most of you said no trip at all. but now that's the smallest group. only 17. keep having your say online and we'll keep checking in on this poll. >> all right. within the last half hour or so, we learned all classes on the ucla campus canceled today after a night of violent clashes between rival protest groups. ktvu allie rasmus explains some of the witness accounts of what led to the chaos and the university's response. this morning. allie

andre, things are quiet and calm on the ucla campus right now, in stark contrast to the chaotic and violent scene that played out there overnight. >> there were fistfights, people with sticks and wooden boards taking swings at one another. this is video taken by a cal matters reporter at the scene of the ucla pro-palestine encampment. overnight, the violence broke out hours after ucla administrators told the pro-palestinian protesters their encampment was unlawful and had to be broken down. they did not leave. and then around 1:00 this morning, a group of pro-israeli counter-protesters showed up and started throwing things into the encampment and trying to break down the barricades that protesters had set up. there were reports of fireworks and glass bottles being thrown into that encampment. >> spray them with, with pepper spray. they hit a couple people, like, on their heads with like, metal rods and no consequences, no consequences. >> the pro-palestine encampment

on the ucla campus has grown in recent days, part of a wave of student demonstrations across the country against the war in gaza. protesters here and at other universities are calling on their schools to divest from companies that do business with the israeli military. there are metal barricades surrounding the encampment at ucla blocking the entrances to some of the school buildings and structures and the library, and that has led to a lot of frustration from other students. >> and they have a first amendment right to protest as much as they want. 9 a.m. to midnight, i fully support, but the encampment in these wooden structures, and now they're building gates and not letting students move freely on their own campus. in fact, some of the people telling students where they can go probably aren't even students. >> now, overnight, police in riot gear came to break up the violence between the rival groups. los angeles sheriff and police department, along with ucla campus police and chp, remain at the scene this morning, and within the last 90

minutes, ucla announced that they have canceled classes. campus wide. a statement released this morning reads, quote, due to the distress caused by the violence that took place on royce quad late last night and early this morning. all classes are canceled today. end quote. now there are some questions and some criticism about why police weren't called in to respond to the overnight violence sooner. news reporters who witnessed the chaos report that the fighting was going on between these protest groups for more than an hour before police stepped in the encampment, is still in place in front of royce hall at ucla. there's no word yet from the university or police about the next steps to remove it, or whether anyone was arrested for the violence overnight. back to you, ali. >> thank you. we're now hearing from one reporter who was detained on the campus of cal poly humboldt during the protests. >> at first, they were detaining the people that were out in the quad in the little courtyard area. that's the those were the first people that got detained.

>> a reporter from eureka who was live streaming on her station's facebook page when police moved in on demonstrators monday night. >> you were told multiple times to leave. otherwise you're going to be arrested. >> what i can my job. my job has been here all night. >> well, find a different job. >> ruiz, who graduated from san francisco state university, says she was detained, photographed and transported from the scene by law enforcement. she lost one of her two phones while recording and streaming the unfolding events. >> that second phone actually ended up being swept away, as well as when they were, moving my hands towards behind my back. it slipped out of my pocket and i couldn't get it. obviously, the officers didn't get it. so there is a piece of news equipment out there at cal poly humboldt right now, humboldt county asked for help from local law enforcement. >> san francisco police sent ten officers and a sergeant, and the sheriff's office dispatched four deputies. 25 people were

arrested on charges ranging from unlawful assembly to vandalism. now to a message that many of us heard in our high school days that's taking on new urgency for a group that works to prevent death and injury. >> on the roads. i asked the head of mothers against drunk driving here in northern california to join me in studio. after hearing some startling news at a school presentation i went to on fentanyl, and i thought it was important enough to share. i'm so happy to welcome maddie, northern california executive director to the nine, natasha thomas, thanks for being with us. thank you for having me. i was a teenager once, thought i was invincible. i think my dad came to my high school in livermore and they put on, you know, the crumpled car and the fake funeral. and i think it hit me then. i have teenagers now. they don't have keys yet, but soon there is a specific urgency about this end of the school year time that we're in. tell me why. >> absolutely. we at madd, you know, we educate the community on the dangers of, of impaired driving. and more importantly, we really want to be more proactive. and so we educate our teens as young as middle school on these dangers, you know,

because unfortunately, the statistics out there that 4300, underage between the age of 15 to 18 unfortunately died, for underage drinking incidents, whether it be, you know, car crashes, alcohol poisoning or violence. and so it's so important for us to get that message out to our teens. so that they make the right choices and they can go on to live productive lives and follow their dreams and aspirations. >> at this talk that i went to about fentanyl, someone mentioned that the end of the year in particular is dangerous drug use goes up, drinking goes up. children kind of see the end. they see the finish line. i'm almost done with high school. i'm going to head off to college. i did it, let's party. do you see an increase in dangerous incidents in the months that we're in right now? >> absolutely. it's a time when you're absolutely right where they just, you know, finished up whether they finished up their first year of high school or their last. right. and they're getting ready for college. they're out there enjoying themselves and having fun with their friends. and unfortunately, with so many different social variables with social media and then thinking that they're invincible, we really want to educate them and empower them to know that they

have the power to say no. they can enjoy themselves while not introducing alcohol drugs like fentanyl and marijuana because like i said, once again, those statistics are out there and every time that they do that, it really brings harm and danger into the way. and unfortunately, sometimes people lose their lives. and so we really want to pound that message home to them. enjoy yourselves, have a good time and be safe, but not partake in alcohol and illicit drugs. >> i know it's mothers against drunk driving. have you folded fentanyl and all the other modern drugs out there into your message? >> absolutely. when we talk about our when we go to schools and talk about our power of power of youth programs, we definitely talk about alcohol, but also other illicit drugs, marijuana, fentanyl, you know, prescription, you know, drugs, all the above. and once again, we want them to say no and have the power to say no. and we educate them on different variables of that, whether it be the effects of the body once they partake in those in those drugs or alcohol, you know, the legal ramifications, you know, the academic and social ramifications that come with that and more importantly, lives are being lost, you know, and we really want to emphasize with them as parents, as guardians or

someone that is overseeing a young, a young teenager, we want them to know that we have we can have those open dialogs and those trust and conversations that we want them to stay out of harm's way. but if they see something or say or hear something, to say something, because we want to make sure that they're safe and we'll get them home, you know, in those safe manners, if they are in danger. >> i remember as a teenager, you know, like my number one goal was, don't let mom and dad find out. not that i did anything horrible, but kind of keeping a secret meant keeping my friends and i safe from, you know, the punishment, the grounding, the whatever. my mind was blown a few years ago when a very good friend of mine who has children a little bit older than mine, said, i sat down my children and said, if you ever find yourself in a situation where there are drugs, alcohol, something dangerous happening, call me and i'll come and get you. even if you are drunk, even if you are impaired and you won't get in trouble. what do you think of that? sort of a message that sort of, you know, exchange between parent and child? >> i think that is so important and so vital and really brings home to the programs that we offer, whether it be through our

power of youth programs. we talk to parents and give them that same message and guidance. is it hard to swallow? >> at first i thought, no, that child should be in trouble. how do you talk? a parent around that initial instinct to punish and crack down? >> you know, that's that's a great question. and it's really good for us to be there because we have those first hands of experiences of seeing parents who unfortunately, you know, teenager did not give them the call. and they lost their lives. and so we give them that first hand experience to give that education and guidance, but also encourage the parents to put down that nudge, to have that nonjudgmental conversation at that moment and let them know that they are going to be that lifeline of getting their teen out of harm's way. and so there's different variables in different education components and tools that we give those parents through our power of parent program. in addition to that, when we talk to our youth as well, to make sure that they can trust their parents and have that open dialog as well. >> i know you've been very busy all across the bay area having presentations at schools, and i have to tell you, it's so impactful when i hear from a parent who has lost a child and so often they do say, i wish she

had called me, i wish i had known, i wish i had followed up what he said, you know, albeit steve's. and it turns out he didn't go to steve's that night. so that parent, you know, some of it is parent guilt. it can be very, very heavy on a heart and last a lifetime. >> absolutely. once again, i cannot emphasize enough having that open conversation with your teens, knowing that you want them to be out of harm's way. however, if they are that they can call you at any given time, any given moment for you to get them, their child and their friends into a safe space. because once again, you never want to get that call from a police officer that your child has been injured or killed. due to this 100% preventable crime. >> you are the best spokesperson for mothers against drunk driving. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me, natasha. >> it's an honor. i hope we get to talk again. >> i would love that. thank you so much. >> all right. very good. natasha. thank you. coming up here on mornings on two, a pre-dawn practice run that could prevent chaos in the event of the real thing. what people in mill valley are preparing for, then? if you've eve had a

traffic control patterns on several roads as part of an evacuation drill in which everyone would be asked to leave the city for any number of potential emergencies. >> it's not just wildfire, you know, there's mudslides and there's flooding and there's all those other things. so it's good to be to make sure that our staff is prepared to do what's necessary to expedite and to keep our, our people safe if they do need to get out of town. >> the drill finished up about 5 a.m. all roads are now back to normal. >> just one. gas prices across california were slowly going down. california's gas tax is going up. starting in july, the gasoline tax will go up by $0.02 to 59.6 cents per gallon. the price of diesel fuel will go up about a penny to 45.4 cents a gallon. prices at the pump shot up last month due to factors including the israeli-palestinian conflict. now according to the california energy commission, when breaking down gasoline prices, most of the costs are due to the cost of crude oil. other expenses include refinery costs,

distribution profits, environmental and state storage, tank fees, along with federal, local and state taxes. well, the transportation secretary, a transportation security administration teaming up with clear the airport screening service travelers can now enroll or renew their tsa precheck membership with clear at three airports, including sacramento and newark. clear allows members to pay a fee to bypass airport screening lines. now, critics accused clear of catering to wealthy people and called their line skip process unfair. now, the state legislature considered banning clear, but decided last week to water down the bill instead. >> we want to dive deeper now into a story we first told you about last week, the department of transportation announced a new rule requiring airlines to make refunds easier and fees more transparent. it requires airlines to offer cash refunds within seven business days for significantly delayed or canceled flights, along with vouchers or travel credits. officials say the new rule will be phased in over the next two years, and will save fliers more

than $500 million a year. joining us now for more insight is carmen balber, who is the executive director at consumer watchdog. carmen, welcome. one of the things that i immediately thought of is if the airlines are more accountable, suddenly a lot of these delays and cancellations will mysteriously disappear. >> that's what accountability is for. if there's a penalty for treating consumers badly, companies often shape up their actions. >> and i was just told by a friend of mine that a plane was delayed, for example, an early morning flight, because one of the flight attendants was late. so you know, airlines might even start cracking down on their own employees to keep the wheel turning, so to speak. >> yeah, absolutely. and, you know, consumers are, of course, the ones who bear the brunt of these changes, whether it's cost saving moves by the airlines or just a lack of interest in getting themselves together, we

all in california suffered the ramifications of southwest not upgrading its computer system when that big storm hit last year or a year and a half ago now. so it's these changes that put more penalties on airlines for treating consumers poorly. are long overdue. >> do you think competition in the airline industry has you know, it's been reduced to airlines, have consolidated? do you think that's been overall bad for the consumer? >> consolidation is usually bad for consumers. we don't want a bunch of fly by night airlines, but we also don't want a few major companies dominating the airwaves, which gives them less need to compete against other companies on things like customer service. so it definitely harms consumers. >> what remedy do i have if i'm really unhappy with an airline and they've just done a really poor job, you know, for example, if they do cancel a lot on me, what remedy do i have before this came into place?

>> well, before this came into the into in place, the rules were really haphazard. companies treated consumers very differently. you often had to jump through a lot of hoops, even if at the end of the day you could achieve a refund. i know a lot of people who sat on interminable hold with southwest after that big snafu, trying to get their money back for canceled flights. these new rules now give you a guaranteed refund if a company cancels or delays your flight for more than three hours. it also applies to things like adding a new connection to your flight or making you drive to a different airport you were leaving from sfo. now you've got to go to oakland. so these are really new protections that will incentivize the companies to get their acts together. but if they don't, consumers will have a remedy. >> what i do like about this, as a person who flies rather regularly is if they cancel my flight, i don't have to do anything. if i paid with a credit card, for example, let's

just say it's $500 or whatever it is that money is coming right back to my credit card without me having to chase them down. >> absolutely. and consumers should know you still have a right to get rebooked. so if they change your flight, but you really do need them to get you out on that day, then you still have a right to be rebooked. but yes, you don't have to jump through the hoops if you want that refund. they have to automatically refund you in your form of payment, not offer you a credit voucher or some other non-cash form of compensation. >> all good stuff to know. carmen balber, the executive director at consumer watchdog thank you for joining us. >> absolutely. have a good morning. you too. >> southwest airlines is introducing a new compensation program that has thousands of customers seeking vouchers. the airline agreed to pay $90 million in travel credit to passengers affected by the carrier's holiday meltdown. we just talked about that in 2022.

over the next three years, the program will reimburse customers with $75 or more in travel vouchers for flight cancellations or delays that lasted at least three hours. >> coming up here on mornings on 2 to 9. there used to be some unspoken rules on who could make the first move, but now, when dating app that aimed to remedy that is amending its practices, what men can now do on bumble that they couldn't do b

new tresemmé keratin smooth collection. after the shooting death of a neighbor last june. david schneider was randomly shot and killed while trimming trees in his front yard of his maxwell park home. but 11 months later, police have not found the person who killed the 60 year old. neighbors are now taking matters into their own hands, lighting up the dark roads and adding cameras to deter criminals. >> it just really, struck the whole community and activated us. we felt, you know, upset and

scared. and so we all came together to try and think about how we could, make this community safer. >> our neighbors plan to buy cameras for everyone, even if they can't afford them on their own. we reached out to oakland police and they told us there is no update on the case. >> hundreds of people went to walnut creek to remember the life of an idaho sheriff's deputy from here in the bay area, who was shot and killed in the line of duty. yesterday at his home church, family and friends watched a live stream of the memorial service in idaho for tobin bolter taking place in idaho before leaving california, he and his wife abby attended the church, and she worked for the school. bolter was a cadet in the walnut creek police department. he went on to become an officer with pleasant hill police before moving to idaho. >> we wanted to have an opportunity to bring the community together here at our church. those who are not able to go up to idaho to be in

person, be able to watch here together in solidarity, to support the family, the bolter family. tobin and abby grew up here. they were married here. both of their families still attend here, and so this has been very impactful. >> during the ceremony, the ada county sheriff presented the family with a purple heart. deputy bolter was shot and killed by a driver. he pulled over for a traffic stop. he was 27 years old. >> well, may is national mental health awareness month, and psychologists say one of the best ways to improve your mental health is to unplug from social media. they warn mental health issues such as eating disorders and body dysmorphia could worsen as artificial intelligence and filters become used more regularly. psychologists also recommend parents talk to their kids about the media they consume and how it can negatively impact their thoughts . >> there's a lot of research that shows that engaging with appearance focused content is worse for us, so if it's very appearance focused, body focused, etc, those tend to be worse for mental health.

>> the national institute of mental health estimates more than 1 in 5 adults are living with a mental illness and according to the national alliance on mental illness, 1 in 6 kids ages 6 to 17 experience a mental health disorder every day . >> bumble is relaunching its dating app and redesigning the way it helps couples meet. the app is introducing a new feature called opening move that now allows men to make the first move. women will no longer be required to send a message to a potential match first. instead, male suitors can initiate a conversation by replying to a personal prompt sent from women users to profile matches. this comes ten long years after the app introduced itself as a new form of dating, in which women can make the first move. sounds almost quaint. now to talk about it that women can make. yeah, yeah, but i guess there is a whole lot of, yeah, mess that women in particular need to wade through. >> let's just say i have sisters. >> they tell me all the craziness, you know, all the things. >> i'm so glad. >> yeah, that that that that men said. it's just. >> it doesn't sound pleasant, does it? >> yeah.
