8:45 am
with? >> we're honored because oakland has been recognized as a city that has already implementd many of the relation recommendations in the report. particularly work around being transparent and analyzing stop data. we have an and iovateive partnership with stanford university. and we've been doing a lot of work around procedural justice, how to improve the level of trust with the community, improve accountability and how to make sure the body-worn cameras, that data is being utlied. >> fair to say this is all a work in progress when you talk about oakland and how you're dealing with the issues facing the city. is part of it going -- we also have the challenges and is it going to be a kind of a community kind of working group or is it more of a presentation of 4 is what we know works for sure? >> peel are interested to hear how oakland is -- people are interested to hear how oakland is doing it. we were recognized as one of the leaders. we're the first city i know of
8:46 am
to fully implement body-worn cameras. but it's more than that. wee working with stanford to make transparent to the public our stop data. who are police officers having contact with? what are the despairities? what are the demographics? and how can we analyze those and incorporate training practices so that we are absolutely fair, we do not appear to have any bias and that we actually acknowledge that human beings have unconscious bias, implicit bias and how can we train it out of people? >> the san jose police department is testing them. san francisco wants it in a year. one of the interesting things about the report that they said was we have the body-worn cameras but can't track them. it's a big thing the department of justice wants to do funding to make sure they are working effectively. you leave when? >> we're leaving wednesday and this is an all-day hearing on thursday. we're very excited that the person responsible for that
8:47 am
whole report, ron davis, is going to be convening this group. of course we hope to get a glimpse of the president. we'll see. but we'll be in the white house representing oakland very proudly all day thursday. >> great. i want to touch on one more issue -- coliseum project. it's a confidential deal, i know we can't talk about the specifics but everyone keeps talking about deadlines that are coming forth. the initial proposal was given in june. how are we feeling? we keep hearing about raiders deadlines, owners meeting next week. are we getting close to maybe this is -- the go time? >> our challenge that we're trying very hard to keep all our teams. we have a complex situation here in oakland. the city and county are co- owners of the land where all of our current sports facilities sit and then we are one of the last cities in the country that have shared facilities with both football and baseball
8:48 am
playing in the same place. so we are working on parallel paths, we're working very hard and we pass these proposals back and forth. >> questions and answers -- i guess the question is, when we talk about deadlines is the monday deadline for the response, are we running out of time? if the raiders don't hear from us or you guys or don't make a decision to go with it, is it done by the end of this week? or do we have the time to go back and forth? >> again we're working on parallel paths. we're also talking directly with the raiders about what they want. what are their needs. and those have been very productive talks. although i've been very clear, the city of oakland is not willing to put taxpayer money into this deal. and that does present an issue -- >> a sticking point, big one. >> san diego is willing to do it. other cities are willing to do it. i don't know if anybody caught john oliver's piece on stadium funding this week.
8:49 am
it was pretty funny, if you have not. but we're not going to do that. we are doing a lot of other things. we created a tremendous amount of development value in the land next to the coliseum and that is one way that we can potentially help create income to fund stadium construction. we are exploring something called infrastructure financing. to help bond against new revenues. revenues that don't exist now in order to pay forthat infrastructure that would support a project. >> the conversation was characterized to me as really well with the as, partly with the raiders and kind of nonexistent with the warriors. is that fair? >> i love my warriors. >> i know you do but is that a fair characterization? >> well, i wouldn't say that. the warriors have put a lot of time and energy into a new location in san francisco. it is being met with a lot of resistance and my job is to make sure that, if i can

9:08 am
the top button. we find goggles much handier than ties. we feel that new style instead of just going with whatever t- shirt label you want to have on the front of you. >> this is what you will be judging today. these are the vehicles we are talking about. if we can talk a little bit about what that really means and what it really means about this rally. as a judge what are you going to be looking for? >> we are mainly working for grace under fire. we are going to be shooting stuffed animals at some of the contestants as they go by. they're going to be given tests by the queen of hearts in our wonder land section. they're going to be attacked by zombies. it is really how well they handle that. if it's a disaster and they still handle it well, that's higher points. it doesn't mean -- a failure doesn't mean a failure. you can win and be in a disaster. >> you can lose and still win.

welcome back everybody. registration is happening now in golden gate park for aids walk san francisco. 20,000 people are expected to take part today. since 1987 this event raised $84 million for local hiv programs. last year walkers collected $2.2 million in donations. since the beginning of the epidemic, nearly 30,000 san francisco residents have been diagnosed with aids. that's 18% of aids cases here in california. numbers are why organizers of the aids walk say the event is as needed now as ever. we go live to golden gate park where we are joined by east bay congresswoman barbara lee. good morning. >> good morning. >> if you take a look at every major piece of legislation when it comes to hiv and aids, it's very likely you will find your name as author or co-author. tell me about your passion for the issues and when it comes to
9:16 am
discrimination, prevention, treatment, why you are so involved in this. >> well i have no option quite frankly. let me just say it is so important that we recognize those who are participating in today's event. i tell you, we can see an aids regeneration by 2030. united nations published a report recently that said that we need to increase our resources that we can move forward and understand that we can in our lifetime see an aids free generation. this is a passion i have had for many years. i just have to say to you that we have to do this first of all in memory and honor of those who we have lost to the epidemic and secondly we want to be sure that we provide those resources that maybe government is not providing unfortunately due to the huge budget cuts. the aids walk today and each year has raised millions of dollars to help those with care, prevention, treatment. i believe that today is really
9:17 am
a turning point, 29 years. we are going to move forward and see this aids regeneration. so i join with everyone today to make sure we accomplish our goals. >> i know we had some numbers up earlier talking about the new cases and how many young people are actually contracting hiv these days. i think when you talk to the general public they feel we have made so much progress. why do you think there is this regeneration? is it lack of awareness? is it funding? you mentioned a couple of those. is it people not realizing how much of a problem it still is? >> often times i hear people think it is over because we haven't had the focus that we need to have in the last few years. but as you said young people, we are seeing new infection among young people. one of the issues that's important to recognize is we need comprehensive sex education for our young people in schools. i have legislation trying to work on this for years and years and years. but we have a tea party
9:18 am
controlled congress who insists that federal resources in many states be put into abstinence only programs. our young people need to be taught to protect themselves, taught how protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections, hiv, aids. we need more awareness and comprehensive sex education in our schools. >> congressman barbara lee, it helps when the discussion is in dc and also in the bay area. thanks so much for joining us. we appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. >> we want to give people a run down of today's events. registration for the walk began about 20 minutes ago. there is going to be an opening ceremony at 9:45. the actual walk starts at 10:30. there is also a concert that begins at 12:30. the walk starts and ends in the sharon meadow area of golden gate park. republican presidential candidate donald trump is being criticized by democrats and republicans for statements he

chief says the best reaction depends on knowing your vendings. if you have passed the danger zone you need to keep moving for the sake of the people behind you. if you haven't reached it, you should not drive towards it. for people near it, do whatever it takes to get to safety. >> if you find yourself in an area where there is vegetation dry below you and vegetation dry above you, you are in an area where you wouldn't want to be caught by fire. judging from what i have seen and read in southern california they did the right thing because they got away from the vehicles which were starting to catch fire. >> as they say vehicles can be replaced. he says people need to remember flames can travel quick especially on windy days and he says be aware of the road conditions around you. that's always a smart move. ktvu viewers getting look at a video showing a mural in san francisco's district as it is intentionally set on fire. the footage shows a man about six feet tall with a thin build dressed in a hoodie burning the
