10:02 pm
encampment unlawful and telling them they must leave the area or else they could be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. but the wall of protesters has grown on both sides of that encampment in an effort to keep police from going in. and this all comes after a tense night of protests and counter-protests classes were canceled at ucla today after pro-palestinian and pro-israeli demonstrators clashed all night long. police in riot gear eventually moved in at 3 a.m. at least 15 people were hurt. authorities have not released numbers on how many people were actually arrested. the ucla announced tonight that campus operations will be remote tomorrow and friday, and governor newsom is now demanding answers for ucla's handling of the protest. >> in a statement, he condemned the violence, saying the law is clear the right to free speech does not extend to inciting violence, vandalism or lawlessness on campus. those who engage in illegal behavior must be held accountable for their
10:03 pm
actions, including through criminal prosecution, suspension or expulsion. and of course, stay with us. we will have a live report from the ucla campus in westwood in just a few minutes as well. >> 5000 uc alumni have now signed an open letter saying they're not going to donate to the university until a protest demands are met. the group, uc alumni for palestine, says that signers include alumni from all ten campuses and graduating classes dating back to 1966. the open letter demands that the university call for an immediate and permanent cease fire in gaza, divest from companies profiting from the war in gaza, and provide protections for students, staff and faculty from threats to their employment and their safety. the group included testimonials from several alumni, one of them writing, i am a small business owner and hayward resident. i attend alumni events to support students. i recently attended the regents and chancellors scholarship association alumni event. i will withhold donations from the university until they
10:04 pm
divest. i will continue to support the student encampments. uc berkeley has said they do not plan to change their investment policies or practices. >> now to the city of oakland, where hundreds of people marched through the city streets in support of palestinians, ktvu is jana katsuyama was there and tells us this demonstration sprang up after a protest aimed to shut down the port was canceled because of the port was already closed. >> hundreds of protesters filled the streets of downtown oakland wednesday. a march from the federal building to frank ogawa plaza at city hall. it was a may day demonstration that saw the traditional worker's rights advocates merging with palestinian groups, calling for an end to violence and civilian deaths. in gaza, many families joined in the demonstration that blocked traffic at points, but remained peaceful. >> the palestinian general federation of labor unions called on labor unions worldwide to spend their may day demanding a cease fire and lifting up the
10:05 pm
voices of palestinian workers. >> citizens can bring together and build together. >> at the plaza, people gathered to hear speakers from dozens of nonprofit groups. the freedom flotilla, who recently went to deliver humanitarian aid to gaza , as well as other community members. >> i'm awfully grateful that it is finally waking the us up. >> it's reconstruction, whatever it takes, so that gazans, palestinians in general can go back to their whatever their peaceful lives they had before. >> different groups unifying behind a common cause to change u.s. funding, rising investment in military services at the same time that people are seeing a divestment from basic social services. >> so, yes, we're seeing an intersection of our different movements coming together. >> jana katsuyama, ktvu, fox two news, a rally in march took over san francisco's mission district today, advocating for immigrant and undocumented worker rights. >> all right. it started off at
10:06 pm
24th and mission and protesters made their way to city hall. attendees said they're also advocating for the right to organize and are rallying in solidarity with palestinians. >> it's a day for us to emphasize that this country, the bay area, everything runs only through the efforts and all of the work of the workers. that includes immigrant workers, that includes undocumented workers, and that includes all of us as city workers. >> many of the workers say they serve a critical function, and they should be recognized for their work. >> a similar message at a different protest in the city tonight, hundreds of hotel workers and janitors marched right through union square in downtown san francisco, demanding better pay, better working conditions. ktvu is betty yu is right there in the crowd along with those workers. she's live tonight in san francisco. and betty, they want the city's big chain hotels and corporations all to really make a move here in reserve and reverse a lot of those pandemic era cuts.
10:07 pm
>> that's right, mike, these unionized workers are looking to secure better contracts for the first time since 2019. this time , they're asking for big pay raises, lighter workloads and better health care benefits. are you saying go away? they chanted and held signs that read one job should be enough and justice for janitors. describe what it's like to survive here in the bay area. >> well, we rely on the credit card. that is how it was. you know, if i'm going to rely on my on my salary, it's not enough. >> celeste sorghum cleans the lobby and public spaces at the grand hyatt at sfo. she's married with three children. she says she takes home just under $3,000 a month, and she's not left with much after paying about $2,500 in rent. >> i feel sad, you know, it's like we work too hard. we are a hard worker. they cut people and
10:08 pm
they give you more tests. it is not fair. >> hotel workers from unite here local two and janitors with seiu local 87 represent some 15,000 people whose contracts are set to expire in august. this, as the city deals with a slow recovery from the pandemic and fewer business travelers and conventions. what is most difficult for you and challenging about being a hotel worker? >> as a banquet worker, we have it better than some. a lot of the housekeeping after the pandemic, they haven't come back to how it used to be. it's just they're making record profits and they're just not giving us security. >> most of these companies, whether it's the hilton, the marriott, four seasons, all of them are in international corporations. they have the money to sustain during a downturn. >> mayoral candidate and current supervisor asha saffy said the board has been called in previously to help both sides get to the finish line during negotiations. >> we need to stand up for working families. a lot of them
10:09 pm
are immigrants doing work that most people don't want to do. >> who's in the city of san francisco has yet to see tourism and spending returned to pre-pandemic levels, despite seeing a boost in 2023 over the previous year. >> now, i spoke with the handlery hotel right here in union square, and while the owner says he's not directly involved in these upcoming contract talks, he says his hotel simply just hasn't recovered from those pandemic related disruptions and he believes, like many operators here, they are all dealing with rising costs in san francisco, betty yu, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, back now to our developing news out of los angeles, where tonight, police are urging pro-palestinian protesters to leave an encampment on the ucla campus. >> let's go now to reporter chelsea edwards, who joins us live from ucla and chelsea. tell us what you're seeing out there right now. >> well, we've been hearing those dispersal orders being
10:10 pm
issued over loudspeakers pointed at the encampment for several hours. >> now they're telling people to get out, leave, pack up immediately. and so far, we've not seen a single person leave this encampment. so what you're looking at right now is the area that was breached last night during that melee that happened where we're standing right now. that is when these agitators came in. they pulled down these fences that have now been reestablished, and they tried to take down this plywood that you're seeing right there. now, they spent the day the people inside have spent the entire day drilling. they've been trying to reinforce these walls, trying to make sure that that is not going to happen again. and you can see they've put some crates. we've got these cameras or these lights shining in our camera. excuse me. this is one of the attempts to kind of deter what we're trying to do here on the ground, but they put those in front of those barricades so that people cannot get in. now, i want to show you the law enforcement presence, which has been steadily growing throughout the day. we've got several on the front line. we've seen chp officers, california highway
10:11 pm
patrol officers. they are the handle on this. behind that, you've got lapd officers who've been stationed all the way back to the end of this barricade, where we're standing right now is the lawn where all of that chaos, that violence broke out last night. now it has been blocked off. only media and law enforcement are allowed here. where we're standing right now. but all around us, on all sides of this encampment and all sides of this barricade. now you have protesters on both sides, both on the pro-israeli side and the pro-palestinian side, who have now gathered to watch what is about to happen. again, this has been declared an unlawful assembly. so we are expecting law enforcement at some point because they've been issuing those dispersal notices over the loudspeakers to come in to clear out people, arrest people one by one, take them out in zip ties and or handcuffs, and then to tear this encampment down. now, we don't have a timeline right now on when that's supposed to happen, but we can certainly see from the influx of law enforcement that they are certainly planning something. we'll certainly keep you posted. that's the latest from los angeles. i'll send it back to you in the studio. >> hey, chelsea, do you get a sense that there's a bit of
10:12 pm
anxiousness in the air? bit of panic? or has it been quite calm among those there at the encampment? >> calm is not the word. i would use any placep their heads up. n people who seem to be ready for whatever is about to happen. lots of people in hard hats, lots of people. again, you just heard some hammering and some drilling, trying to reinforce that. we've been told that inside they've had workshops on how to deal with law enforcement , how to deal with cops. so it appears that they're expecting something. it is certainly not calm on the outskirts of this perimeter. people. tensions are extremely high out there. we can hear the shouting, we can hear the protesting tensions very high here on all sides. >> so, chelsea, i graduated from ucla. so i'm very familiar with that quad there. and i know you're on one side where it's kind of open. and then there's another grassy area, and that's where i can see that. the police officers that you mentioned are staging on the other side of that encampment are the stairs. and i have seen pictures and videos of protesters kind of blocking that stairs. those would be obviously a little more
10:13 pm
difficult for police to come in on that side. but is there, you know, does it look like there's a move that they would come in on on the other side of the encampment from where you are as well? >> i, you know, there's theories on how they're going to come in and execute this operation. we're not sure which one they're going to use. and we certainly don't want to tip off or say anything that might jeopardize what they're about to do. but yet there certainly is a challenge on that end, because that is a hill. there's those stairs, as you mentioned, very hard to get in that way. one possibility, you got these buildings, you've got the library and royce hall here on either side. one theory is that the law enforcement could come in through those and directly into the encampment and bypass this barricade altogether. again, we're not sure what they're going to do, and we're not sure on the timeline of when they're going to do it. but based off of the security, the amount of law enforcement we're seeing, it seems like something is imminent. but i would say, judging from where they're letting you stand, i would imagine if they were going to start, you guys would have to be cleared out of that area too, because certainly that that will get tense in a hurry. yeah, yeah
10:14 pm
. no. certainly. so and they're making sure that everybody in here has a certain kind of press pass that are only issued to certain members of media. it has to be a sheriff's department press pass, and nobody is allowed in unless you are media or law enforcement. so they understand that we will do what they say. they tell us to clear out. we will move. >> all right. 15 people injured down there on campus last night. hopefully no injuries tonight and nothing big and all goes smooth. we'll continue to monitor that situation. chelsea edwards live in westwood for us tonight chelsea thank you. our coverage of the bay area protests continues tonight at 1030. we'll take you live to san jose, where hundreds of people marched in the downtown area this evening. >> well, the recount in the south bay's district 16 congressional race is over and assembly member evan lowe is set to move on to face sam liccardo in november, knocking out supervisor joe simitian. san mateo county finished its recount, including the review of 16 challenged ballots. election officials say they accepted seven of those, which did result in lowe gaining one vote,
10:15 pm
simitian receiving zero. lowe took the lead over simitian by four votes yesterday after santa clara county released its results. lowe now leads by a total of five votes for second place. he said he is excited by the opportunity to reintroduce himself to voters. >> i've served in public service as a mayor, a council member, a state legislator for ten years, but also a record of service, being named the most prolific lawmaker in sacramento from the sacramento bee. so results oriented, but also young enough to have the trajectory and runway to deliver and have tenure in congress to deliver results for our district. lowe says. >> it is the perfect example of why ev numbers still need to be certified by the secretary of state. santa clara county supervisor joe simitian conceded, saying he trusts the process and accepts. he congratulated evan lowe and sam liccardo. he added i'm disappointed on a personal level because i had looked forward to
10:16 pm
running in november and serving in congress. i'm disappointed because i couldn't deliver a win for the oh so many folks who gave their time, effort, energy and resources to our campaign, former mayor sam liccardo said in a statement, in part despite the efforts of some to stop this recount, we should all celebrate that democracy prevailed. previously, uncounted votes were counted. we can now refocus on our work ahead towards solutions to our region's and nation's great challenges, such as homelessness, the high cost of living, climate change, public safety and protecting reproductive rights. >> still to come, an unprovoked attack in the middle of the day caught on camera in san francisco after the break, we're hearing from the two victims and someone who witnessed the assault. >> i'm scared. >> there was no motivation to do it. there was no reason to do it . >> and we are checking out the weather. it was warm today. we had some low 80s as we head to tomorrow, some more low 80s as we head towards the weekend. >> some rain plus heartbreak for

10:21 pm

10:22 pm
handles a wide range of cases, mostly involving domestic violence and restraining orders. it was paying more than $150,000 to rent and fuel a generator, the court says. with the help of pg and its permanent power source, has now been restored. >> and all righty. as you know, temperatures were on the mild to warm side today, low 80s tomorrow. pretty much the same deal. that's your thursday. and then friday things turn. we get ourselves into some more weather, believe it or not. looks like it's going to rain on saturday. peaks in temperature pretty much. today was the warmest day. little cooler tomorrow, a lot cooler on saturday or friday because of the cloud cover. and then you get into this cold weather, cool weather pattern which will set us up most definitely with rain. looks like it's going to be saturday kind of morning right now. looks like it's going to translate through pretty quick. that might bode well for parts of your saturday afternoon sunday right now. best day on the weekend. those were the highs from today. it's going to be warm tomorrow. like today and then we'll enjoy it while it last, because then it's going to
10:23 pm
change around. this guy comes in, changes the whole dynamic and brings us rain, even snow to the mountains. this is what's going to be a cut off low now. it's kind of more attached to the jet stream. so it's easier to forecast. that's why everybody's dialing in on saturday. right now saturday looks a little bit wet. sunday looks like your best day. when i come back, we'll look at the computer model and time out hour by hour for the weekend. >> all right bill, thank you. our coverage of campus protests continues tonight at 1030. the barricades now in place on a northern california university. >> but first, a high school swim team in the east bay forced to sit out of a major competition. and it all comes down to an error made by the head coach and a message for drivers in the north bay. >> the highway closure, now delayed yet again.

they feel like they're being unfairly punished. >> when they were punishing us, the athletes who should be the ones competing in this meet and this meets all for us. it was pretty devastating. >> kale hansen is shattered he and 12 other swimmers at acalanes high school in lafayette won't be able to compete in a regional swim meet, one they've been preparing for all season. >> i definitely thought it would be the big meet where we could all show up and show out and showcase our abilities and everything. we worked hard for this. >> after intense swim meets and practices, eight of the swimmers who qualified are seniors who are missing out on what would have been their last chance to swim for the dons. >> i do take proper ownership here, coach brett usinger, a former swimmer himself, says he tried to submit his team's times before the deadline on sunday, but he was in oregon at the time with a bad internet connection and no hotspot. >> the next day, he was told his team's entries never made it and that his team couldn't take part in the north coast sectional meet on friday. but i also think
10:27 pm
there's something to be learned about potential future practices or improvements to make sure that students who have earned the right to swim, get to swim. the team and the principal asked the cif, the state's governing body of high school athletics, for a second chance. but it's a no go that dons are dead in the water. >> our athletes, they performed this year and did everything they were supposed to do, and ultimately they're the ones who are getting punished through this whole process, regardless of fault. it shouldn't fall on their shoulders. >> i think all of us are just really disappointed that we don't have the opportunity to swim at this meet, because we've worked so hard to get to this spot. it's really devastating knowing that whatever the error was, that we aren't going to be able to swim even though we, like all 13 swimmers, are very qualified. >> cif says reminders were sent to all schools that the deadline was mandatory and no exceptions would be made. in a statement, pat cruikshank, the commissioner of athletics, said in part the procedures and consequences for failing to follow these

10:31 pm
put in a protest. they're trying to block police from accessing the pro-palestinian encampment that is on the ucla campus. this is a live look at what's happening right now overhead. and you can see the barricades that are up there and there's a bit of a standoff going off right now. the protesters have been told they have to leave the campus. police issued that warning to disperse several hours ago, but no one has moved in the last 20 minutes. we had a live report from from the ucla campus, where it looked like everyone was kind of just barricading, making stronger barricades and staying put. we know there's a lot of police officers standing by. what we do not know is the timing of when they might go into what is the ucla quad that you're looking at
10:32 pm
right now, where the encampment was posted there? that's been there for a long time, but it got violent last night. today they had the order to disperse, and now we are kind of waiting to see what the next move will be right there on your screen. i believe you start to see where only media and then police officers are staged, as they kind of try to decide what happens next when they go in. if they go in, as you pan to the right, there again is the encampment and there are barricades on either side of it. there are buildings on, on two sides of it. and so right now, trying to figure out as we take a look from above at really everyone kind of hunkering down, what is going to break this up? and when police might go forward on their plans to get people out of there, we're going to continue to keep an eye on this situation. it is a developing situation down at ucla, and we'll keep you updated here all night long. >> all right. back here in the bay area, hundreds of people peacefully marched and rallied in downtown san jose this afternoon. ktvu south bay reporter lamonica peters live

10:34 pm
up tables in the park, including the wage theft coalition, south bay youth changemakers and the communist party usa. >> we think it's important for the working class to be pushed to the front of this pro-democracy movement to best fight fascism within this country, anti-war protesters and those who are against the war in gaza also joined the rally, calling for peace around the world and for the u.s. government to stop financially supporting israel. >> we see here that our tax dollars and everything should be prioritizing american people because we have homelessness on the streets. we have roads that aren't being built, schools that are being closed. and so, like, why is the priority for our tax dollars on a war that no one or even violence that we don't want ? >> workers also told me that despite the higher minimum wage, they're still having difficulty making ends meet. and they're also concerned about being able to retire after working all of
10:35 pm
their lives. mike la monica peters live tonight in san jose lamonica. >> thank you. staying in the south bay, students gathered for a teach in at santa clara university. student organizers say the main goal was to educate and discuss the situation in gaza, especially with tensions heightened on some college campuses today. university officials say it was important to balance free expression with campus safety. they did work closely with the event organizers ahead of time. the group of students is still urging the university to cut off any investments it might have in israel. >> we do not want any of our tuition and funding or any of that to go towards the support of the genocide of the palestinian people. we want to demand a current like a cease fire. we are the students of next generation. we are going to be voting this election season. all of that kind of stuff. >> a few counter protesters did walk the perimeter of the event without any incident, and jewish students were offered campus escorts to class if needed. >> in sacramento, mental metal barricades are now surrounding an encampment at sacramento state. those barricades were
10:36 pm
given to protesters today by university officials in anticipation of a counter-protest. signs filled that encampment as discussions between the university and protesters continue. the protesters list of demands includes disclosing all institutional expenditures, defending student activism, declaring the occupation of palestine illegal, and divesting from companies who have ties to israel. sac state says it's monitoring the encampment to make sure it remains safe and follows campus policy. well, divestment is becoming a common phrase in the conflict between israel and hamas. coming up at 11, the bay area city that has voted to pull money out of investments into companies that support israel. >> all right. we are checking in on the weather again. we've got some nice weather to talk about then some not so nice weather to talk about. coming up just a minute. >> but first rising costs causing some challenges r
10:37 pm
10:38 pm
10:39 pm
you investors appear concerned about rising costs for the food delivery service. doordash reported higher than expected revenue in that first quarter. strong growth in grocery orders did help to make up for the slowing restaurant demand, but doordash said new rules in new york city and seattle establishing minimum wage requirements for delivery drivers has increased prices for consumers. >> federal reserve chairman jerome powell suggested today that interest rates will not be changing any time soon. americans have been hoping for rate cuts, which would translate into lower borrowing rates for mortgages, car loans and credit cards. at one point, traders were hoping for up to six rate cuts in 2024. now, investors are
10:40 pm
expecting one rate cut later in the year, or even none due to stubborn inflation. powell says the overall economy does remain strong and consumer spending has been robust over the past several quarters, even as high interest rates have weighed on housing. >> but inflation is still too high. further progress in bringing it down is not assured, and the path forward is uncertain. >> the fed's key rate is currently at a 23 year high, sitting around 5.3, and stocks ended the day mixed on that interest rate news. the dow gained 87 points a day, the nasdaq lost 52 points and the s&p was down 17. shares in cvs fell more than 16% on weaker than expected quarterly earnings . starbucks was down nearly 16% after falling short of expectations. >> the arizona state senate has approved a repeal of a near-total abortion ban from 1864. the repeal passed with a 16 to 14 vote and is expected to
10:41 pm
be signed by governor katie hobbs. two republicans voted in favor of repealing the ban that would only allow for abortions to save the patient's life. now, if the repeal is signed, a statute from 2022 banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy would become arizona's prevailing law. and in florida, doctors are raising concerns about the six week abortion ban that went into effect just today . some fertility experts say most people don't even know they're pregnant at the six week mark. the ban also prohibits abortion for non-viable pregnancies. the measure does allow exceptions for rape and incest. >> well, coming up, a weekend highway closure in the north bay now delayed once again. >> also, today kicks off aapi heritage month after the break, the story of a japanese american woman born in sacramento who took a stand against the u.s. government during world war two. the effort right now underway to award her the nation's highest civilian honor. >> i am very proud of my mother
10:42 pm
