6:04 pm
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. >> this year, workers also say they're rallying and marching in solidarity and in sympathy with palestinians, who they say are targeted by the war in gaza. the money of the united states should be for helping the people of the united states, not for destroying people overseas. many of the workers say they serve a critical function and they should be recognized for their labor. nat king is a home health care provider and says the only way workers have been able to make a living wage was through organizing every other week, we have to go to some county in the bay area to fight for people that's making only $17 an hour across the street. >> they're making $20 at fast food restaurant. >> and as you might imagine, these rallies are somewhat fluid. a lot of the people who were rallying here for may day

6:11 pm
did accept seven of those, which resulted in lowe gaining one vote, simitian receiving zero. lowe took the lead over submitting by four votes yesterday after santa clara county released their results, so lowe now leads by a total of five votes for second place. he said he's 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. well lowe says it is a perfect example of why every vote counts. >> these numbers do still need to be certified by the secretary of state, santa clara county supervisor joe simitian conceded, saying he trusts the process and accepts the results. >> he congratulated evan lowe and sam liccardo. he added here
6:12 pm

6:13 pm
statute from 2022 banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy would become arizona's prevailing law in florida, doctors are raising concerns about the six week abortion ban that went into effect today. some fertility experts say most people don't know they are pregnant. at the six week mark. the ban also prohibits abortion for non-viable pregnancies, such as when the fetus is missing organs, unless it actually becomes deadly to the patient. the measure does allow for exceptions for rape and incest. >> secretary of state antony blinken is hoping for a diplomatic breakthrough on the war in gaza, where the negotiations currently stand, to try to peacefully bring the war to an end. >> and we are tracking the weather. it looks as though we've got some rain and the weekend. on the weekend, i'll tell you which day to worry about. i'll see you back here. also ahead, more signs that the crackdown on fentanyl dealing in san francisco is bearin ru

6:18 pm
sure most of them started like this a few counter-protesters walked the perimeter of the event without incident, but campus security at santa clara was on the lookout for outside agitators. >> speakers at the teach in included students in some faculty, as well as proclamations from several campus organizations. >> seeing everything going on in palestine and in gaza over our phones, over like just the heaviness that i feel in my heart, really compelled me to really be here and like, tangibly stand in solidarity. >> the group is just wrapping up a session on historical context. they plan to end the night with some alumni speeches and some prayer in santa clara and ruben, ktvu fox two news. >> well, about 200 students at oakland tech high school held a walkout today calling for a ceasefire in gaza. the demonstrators rallied outside the school this afternoon on broadway and 45th street. the organizers say they want to show solidarity with universities in the bay area and around the country, and be sure to stay with ktvu for continuing

6:21 pm
your mid 60s low 70s and then boom on saturday you're back into the mid 60s. so cooler day showers right now are being focused focused on that saturday period. i know so we'll see. it looks like at one point it was kind of not certain, but now it's never certain. right. but i mean the models are all sort of congealing into this one spot, which implies as saturday is our wet day on the weekend and rainfall accumulations could be as amount full as hey mike is a mouthful, a word, a mouthful. no, i don't think it is. i'm not going with it. made up a word a mouthful, okay, so temperatures and rain weren't temperatures in the mid 60s. rain will be anywhere from a quarter inch to a half inch to maybe an inch of rain in some places. so that's the plan. saturday is wet, sunday is your best day on the weekend. when i come back, we'll look at the latest computer model and we'll kind of time it out for you. i'll see you back here. all right. >> bill, thank you. still to

state law is taking aim at hidden fees, from concert tickets to hotel bills. >> starting on july 1st, it will be also illegal for any restaurant in california to add special surcharges to your bills. as ktvu tom vacar reports , some fear that restaurants will have to raise their menu prices to make up for that loss. >> except for taxes, the surcharge disclosure law applies to all imposed add on fees, such as service fees, dining in charges, delivery charges, credit card processing fees, even imposed tips. attorney general rob bonta, who had previously said that restaurants will be allowed to make surcharges if they disclose them, says they must be disclosed in all advertising, which presumably includes menus. however, the california restaurant association, ready to fight back, says that the written law only applies to advertisements because courts have ruled that adverts for goods and services do not include menus. we came to walnut creek, a real dining out town,
6:26 pm
and we talked to three people. everyone had essentially the same opinion. >> yeah, it needs to be in the price of the food. it might help somebody decide on a menu item. >> if this bundling happens, do not expect the price of dining to decline. in fact, expect them to rise sharply. >> seeing the fee we know about it. and i guess if you eat somewhere long enough and you see their prices raised, then you know that's where those fees went. >> in fact, many folks think tipping fees and surcharges are way out of control now. >> i absolutely agree with that, like i said, i've been to restaurants before and put a nice tip down and then realized later that the tip was included or something else. >> oh that's true. >> yeah. they shouldn't be tipping on on those fees. >> now for a carryout, you're expected to tip. that never was the case. i didn't mind it during covid, but now we're back to somewhat normal and we're still expected to tip for carryout foods. >> restaurateurs say they need clarity and specific answers asap. given that these somewhat

6:34 pm
>> advocates for the proposal say it would bring a consistent framework for the department of education to intervene in and investigate discrimination cases. this bill now heads to the senate. >> well, may day originated. in 1971, when more than 12,000 people were arrested across the country for protesting the vietnam war. decades later, college students are rallying against israel's war with hamas, urging their schools to take action. ktvu jesse gary has more on the message. and if this latest effort to organize on campuses can create change free palestine on the uc berkeley campus wednesday, voices of dissent continue crying out for change. >> i participate in, you know, any number of progressive movements. i've been involved in this movement for 20 years, joseph anderson says. >> seeing the signs and spectacles across the country brings him back to his younger days, successfully demonstrating in the 1980s.

6:36 pm
protests. >> mueller believes using the same tactic repeatedly reduces the chance of recruiting sympathetic ears to the cause. others say this movement is based on a thorny narrative oppressed or oppressed really doesn't apply very well here, but that's the lens that this is being examined through palestine for now, the tents, signs and chants ringing out here are finding a home in the hearts and heads of the most ardent believers in berkeley. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news new at 630, all women. who are incarcerated at the federal women's prison in dublin have now been moved out of the facility, the bureau of prisons confirms the ktvu that all 605 inmates at fci dublin have either been moved to other prisons across the country, released to halfway houses or released altogether. >> last month, the bureau of prisons announced the sudden closure of this prison. the announcement comes after the fbi raided that prison and a judge appointed a special master to oversee reforms. seven corrections officers at fci

is actually unlikely, as fox's connor hanson tells us, investors are lowering their expectations for how many rate cuts, if any, that the fed is going to make this year. >> but inflation is still too high. further progress in bringing it down is not assured and the path forward is uncertain. >> federal reserve chairman jerome powell says interest rates will stay the same for now. americans have been hopeful rate cuts would soon translate into lower borrowing rates for mortgages, car loans and credit cards. but economists say inflation has been too stubborn and say rates could stay put through the end of the year. well the big story really on the economy has just been resilience . >> you know, everybody's been expecting a slowdown. >> there'll be no rate cuts this year. i'm investing under the premise that we're going to be living with this rate cycle, staying the same for the rest of the year. i'm sorry. it's just reality. >> not long ago, traders expected up to six rate cuts. in 2024, the fed's rate has sat
6:49 pm
around 5.3. a 23 year high since its last hike. almost a year ago. but powell says that hasn't stopped people from shopping. >> consumer spending has been robust over the past several quarters, even as high interest rates have weighed on housing lately. >> some economists have even expressed concern that rate could go up again before they start to come back down in new york. connor hanson, fox news. >> pretty nice day yet again today. we've had a good run of weather this week. that changes on friday, but not tomorrow. tomorrow being thursday is going to be another nice day. a lot like today. these were the highs we had today. in these highs will be repeated or duplicated. maybe not quite. might be a degree or two cooler tomorrow, but still i think we'll see some low 80s tomorrow. so a nice day. the high pressure there it is. stays put for another 24 hours, and then it starts to break down on friday. and then when that happens, the friday thing, the clouds come in. and that's where the cooling begins. and then the
6:50 pm
clouds increase and on saturday we get into this. this is the first look, your first look at the computer model. we'll look at it again at the end of the weathercast. but here's 3 a.m. tomorrow or saturday morning. pardon me early. so you're in bed and then right around here that's 7 a.m. looks pretty robust, doesn't it. and then the heavy stuff is through by 7 a.m. so in the north bay, if you have baseball games and stuff, you're probably starting to dry out in ukiah. santa rosa and rohnert park. and then by 1:00 it's sort of down into the south bay and sort of sticks up there. so that's one look at it. we'll take a peek at it in a minute again, and you can see the live camera shot showing no fog at the coast because the winds have been pretty robust. i mean i've seen winds a couple of days in a row now up at point reyes, up over 35 knots, almost sustained at that. sustained it over 25 knots. so it's windy and it's just it's blowing sand around ocean beach at the great highway temperatures right now pretty warm well above where they were yesterday 5 to 7 degrees. and then here's the model. the bigger picture. here's all day
6:51 pm
thursday. fog comes back to the coast. here comes all day. friday fog comes back to the coast. and then things t up. there's this front gets closer to the fog and the marine layer gets kind of scooped up in front of it. and that's why you're seeing the increase in fog. so that's a symptom of this. and this gets here again 7 a.m. on saturday morning. kind of moves through pretty quick and then looks like it kind of clicks through in by saturday evening. in sunday look okay. so right now lean into sunday for your weekend. if i were you and then i think saturday morning in the north bay or saturday afternoon, mid morning in the north bay will be okay. and even san francisco by 1 or 2:00. it will be kind of scattered showers, but it's definitely looks very overnight friday into saturday and into much of the day on saturday afternoon, especially in the south bay. later in the day, there's the five day forecast. we'll see you back here at ten okay. >> thank you bill. well three time nba champion shaun livingston is joining the oakland roots ownership group.
