your way out in the east bay, especially along 8 80 consider some detours or considered just leaving a lot sooner than you normally would, because it's a little bit of a mess out there. 701 let's go back to the desk. thank you, james. several major airlines have dropped their mask mandates after a federal judge ruled the cdc cannot require masks on planes, trains and other forms of public transit. ktvu jesse gary live at oakland international airport. you've been talking with passengers about how they're feeling about this today. god said good morning to you. yes, i have been talking to passengers and i can tell you some of them. a lot of them are pretty happy that they do not have to have only half their face showing as they enter a plane. you know, this is all the result of one act of a federal judge in florida supposedly to make life easier, but it's had the opposite effect of making things more confusing instead of one blanket rule. now you have airlifted up left up to the individual airlines. whether or not people have to mask up. let's go ahead. take a look at our video. alaska air delta united southwest of all lifted

their mask mandates. mineta san jose and here in oakland. international masks are not required at sfo still waiting for officials or say they are holding onto the requirement for now, until they get guidance from local leadership. again as we talked to passengers this morning is, garcia said, and reaction is mixed. i feel safe. you know, i've been vaccinated have been boosted. so um, you know, i feel pretty safe to breathe and get full of all oxygen. yes everyone can do what they want, you know, but i feel like we should still wear masks. because covid is still around. it's never going to leave. people are still getting sick. people are still passing away from it and i feel like we just don't wear masks and be considerate of those who do want to wear masks. last week, the cdc announcing its mask order was extended 15 days until may, the third to take more time to

study the bh two variant. a judge ruled the cdc failed to justify its decision to extend the mask mandate. and you know, given where you are in the country, covid numbers are creeping up. given this the surroundings of being in a like a set of plane or train or a bus . close contact people who now don't need to wear a mask might be symptomatic may be asymptomatic. you're in absolute inevitably going to see more cases of covid. most debate area transit agencies are continuing to acquire masks while onboard. those include sf, muni transit, caltrain and vita bart says maths are required. but it is not enforcing the policy and track officials say masks are also not required. an uber executives have dropped their mask mandate after learning the federal judge's ruling. we'll check in with passengers on a transit here at the airport and

the number of hospital patients , they could bring back old restriction. we're starting to see. some increases in the numbers. we're not seeing those increases manifesting increased hospitalizations. not yet, but we're looking at that very, very closely. the white house says it supports decisions made by local officials who take into account their current infection and hospitalization rates. federal officials also say they need both local and national experts to start moving towards more effective long term strategy. new this morning. san jose police are investigating a shooting that sent one man to the hospital that happened near the san jose municipal golf course at around 8 30 last night , police say a man was found near lundy avenue and barry s. a road was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries. so far no other details on the victim or a suspect have been released. we're getting our first look at a man accused of killing a 15 year old girl while trespassing

on a stockton school campus. police say they have arrested anthony gray, a 52 year old man from french camp. they say he stabbed and killed the teenage girl. police say he drove the stake high school and entered the campus through a gate. the district is now reevaluating its security. people gathered outside that high school at sunset to remember the girl who was killed, family members say 15 year old alicia naga was a good student and a rising athletes with the high school softball program. her dad says he doesn't know the man who is accused of killing her. don't really have any enemies. my daughter was shouting her whole life. we took her to school chicken home from school. she was very outgoing. it's just like the funniest person we know she was clever and she had thick skin and she can come back with the funny job. investigators are trying to figure out why the girl was targeted. they say this appears to have been a random attack. our time is now 707. today, the walnut creek city council will again debate whether to allow more marijuana businesses within walnut creek.

right now. the city allows up to two delivery services for medical marijuana. at tonight's meeting, the council could decide to include delivery services for recreational marijuana. the back in october, walnut creek debated approving recreational marijuana sales, but the council delayed making a decision at that time. well for the first time at tomorrow's 4 20 festival in san francisco. people can buy cannabis legally in golden gate park. the gathering at hippie hill has been canceled, but the last two years, but the unofficial holiday celebrating marijuana is back on tomorrow. the event is officially sanctioned by the city of san francisco. as many as 20,000. people are expected, however, now that people can buy pot in the park, the rules will be tighter. and what that means to be clear whether there are sales or not. the fact is under

state law. if you are under the age of 21, you will not be allowed within the facility. so this is going to be the first time that this is done. you will be turned away. proof of age is going to be required. no major london breeds as a city will have extra shuttle services out there extra bathrooms and clean up as well as extra security. the meadow will be gated off to enforce that age limitation. the gates will open at 10 a.m. tomorrow. tomorrow on 4 20 ktvu is taking a look at the state of cannabis in california and beyond. join us for our half hour special. we'll take a closer look at the issues and the laws surrounding marijuana that is tomorrow at 4 30. pm time is 79. police say they have made an arrest and impounded some cars after a violent sideshow in east oakland sunday night, as many as 100 cars took over an intersection at 82nd avenue between macarthur boulevard and nay avenue. police

a number of crashes here along 5 80. we typically have a slowdown from folks coming out of tracy headed toward the peninsula, but we usually don't have this many crashes. so something to keep in mind if you're headed out the door this morning. 5 80 was a trouble spot earlier this morning, but it looks like a lot of that is cleared out. now you still see a little bit of the slowdown, but not so many of the crashes, so that is a little bit of good news this morning. this is the bad news. 80 is just an absolute mess. you can see the map here. it looks like that firecracker popsicle. you would eat on the fourth of july here with all the different colors the number of accidents, one of which was a big rig that was jackknifed had some leaking fuel on it. but that should be traffic flowing through there by now. third accident here was three car crash chp on seeing working to get that cleared. as well. and that's all after you get off of the san mateo bridge. if you're actually on the bridge, things are moving along pretty smoothly, but you get slapped at that traffic. once you get off and get to 8 80. we'll take you over to the bay bridge toll plaza where you see

a little bit of a slowdown, a little bit of back up and nothing out of the ordinary for 7 11 this morning, let's get back to gaza and dave on the desk. james torres. thank you. 7 12 year, police have made an arrest. in the case of that massive fire in the south bay that destroyed a home depot store. we have the latest on the investigation. also europe now considering a new request from ukraine, plus the pentagon meets about the next phase in the war between ukraine and russia.

to see those massive backups along 80, both northbound and southbound. three different crashes to deal with chp working clear, all of them, one of which , being a jackknife big rig that had some gas leaking onto the road there, so there's still cleanup underway for that. there's a three car crash. that's uh, contributing to some of this back up. so there's work to clean up that as well. we'll give you a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, which is starting to move pretty slowly, but nothing extremely unusual for 7 19 this morning. alright let's uh let's take this back now to the desk or the deaths. the weather desk. that's what i meant to say. the weather rosemary oroczo high, james and good morning to all of you, so after a wet start, at least an early morning start, things are really starting to wind down. we still have mostly cloudy skies in place a little bit of drizzle out there. definitely a possibility. here is a look at multi layer of cloud cover. we do have the low clouds closer to the bay. we've got mid and high

huge home depot store fire in san jose earlier this month. we have the latest on what we know so far about the investigation. and a california state assembly seat representing san francisco is on the line. today it's a hotly contested runoff election that could all play out again in june and then again in november. from ktvu fox two news this morning's onto well, good morning to you. and we thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings onto i'm dave clark. good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian it's tuesday. april 19th. is there anything better than sleeping to the sound of rain? no i think that's i agree. i think the timing on this most recent round rosemary is somewhat fortunate because it didn't hit right in the middle of the morning commute. you're right. most most folks by the time we got into the highways, the roadways not so much dry, but at least not a lot falling from the sky. a fairly weak system as expected, not a lot of wind, so that was also some good news. and now we are beginning

to see the showers move out, and we are winding down afternoon sunshine in store with temperatures very seasonal. for this time of year. we'll check in on the current conditions and show you what you can expect for the second part of today, and i'm already tracking another storm coming our way. in just a little bit at 7 32. let's see how the highways are shaping up this morning. hi, james. rosemary good morning to you. well a little bit of good news here. the places like the peninsula, the north bay in the south bay have all been pretty clear of any traffic headaches. it's mostly around the east bay that we're starting to see some of that trouble spots, especially after the san mateo bridge if you're headed in if you're heading towards the east side of that, you see along 8 80 just how much red there is. how many backups there are. we have three crashes at 1.1 of them have cleared at this point. we still have two remaining here, so there's still some headaches to deal with this morning. if you're going to be driving along 80 a little later today, sam mateo bridge, starting to slow down just a little bit this morning, but it's still moving along smoothly, and here's what it looks like at the bay bridge

toll plaza 7 32. let's go back to the desk. okay, james, thank you what happening today? we expect to learn more about the suspect arrested in connection with that huge fire in san jose destroyed the home depot storm. later today, prosecutors will tell us the name of the suspect and also give us more information about the investigation. they do plan to file charges in connection with the fire that tore through that home depot store on blossom hill road back on april 9th. the heat from the fire was even spotted from space. meantime several san francisco businesses are checking out the fire damage after flames burned three buildings in the west portal district. fire officials say construction work was underway and that may have been part of the blame. the fire started about 11 30 yesterday morning at west portal and 14th avenue. the flames spread from rooftop to rooftop. before firefighters got it under control. now gray rudolph lives on that same block and had just minutes to grab his

computer and camera equipment and then evacuate. i was watching the flames on the roofs and like a ton of smoke, and i saw like a propane tank or something on the roof. one firefighter was hurt battling the flames, but no one else was hurt woman accused of staging a phony kit phony kidnapping back in 2016 has pleaded guilty. 39 year old sherri papini was arrested last month after authorities say she continued to make false statements about that alleged kidnapping. yesterday she appeared in the sacramento federal court via zoom and entered a guilty plea to charges of mail fraud and lying to the fbi. per sentencing is set for july, 11th could face between eight and 14 months in custody. we'll move now to a developing story. the police search for one of the suspects in that sacramento shooting that left six people dead earlier this month. police identified him. tula patton is one of the gunmen and say he is a known gang member. investigators are asking anyone who knows where peyton is

to contact them, but say he should not be approached because they consider him armed and dangerous. investigators say the shootout was gang related and say just hours before some people were flashing gang affiliations and guns on social media. do have some gang issues in our neighborhoods and quite honestly, their long standing feuds in some of our neighborhoods. i don't think that's any secret as we've moved through the years. investigators say that three women killed were not involved in gangs, and we're simply caught in the shootout, sacramento police say despite the shooting, downtown sacramento is generally a safe area. time now, 7 35 were happening today. it's election day for many san francisco voters, frank mallicoat here now and says voters will choose between two well known candidates to represent them in the state assembly, frank morning, gang. yes i think you've heard the two names assembly district 17 is about half of san francisco and includes the tenderloin, chinatown, the mission district and the downtown area. matt

haney david campos, where the to top vote getters in the february general election. they went head to head last night during a forum. at manny's and was hosted by project open hand any currently serves as the city's board of supervisors representing the tenderloin mission bay in the civic center neighborhoods. the mayor of london. breed has endorsed haney . and he says if he's elected, he'd like to focus on helping people escape poverty. california has the highest rate of poverty in the country. i think that's not something that we acknowledge enough or recognize enough and many of the many of the challenges and problems that we have, whether it's access to healthcare access to good jobs, access to food access to housing, homelessness are connected to poverty and inequality. haiti is running against this man, former city supervisor david campos. he has been serving as the chief of staff for district attorney chase a boudin but is currently

on leave from that job. campos says the only way to tackle tough issues in sacramento is for lawmakers to cut their ties with corporations so they can make the people who elect them their top priority. i am running a corporate free campaign 100. because i believe that to actually have california family address issues like hunger you have to elect individuals who are not beholden to the corporate interests that run the show. the 17th assembly seat that serves eastern portion of san francisco opened up last year after david chu became the city attorney for san francisco . now the winner of today's election won't have very long until he's back out on that campaign trail. he will have to run for the job again in the june primary. and that, of course, followed up by the general election in november. i'm frank mallicoat garcia. thank you, frank new this morning reports that president biden has told former president barack obama he plans to run for

a second term in the white house president biden told reporters last month. he'd be quote very fortunate to have a rematch of the 2020 election. former president donald trump has already indicated he does plan to run again. white house insiders say the president biden thinks he's the democrats best chance to defeat former president trump again. president biden will be 81 years old former president trump will be 77 on election day in 2024 time now, 7 38 kimberly guilfoyle has met again with the house committee investigating the riot at the u. s. capitol. guilfoyle who was part of the trump administration and is engaged to donald trump jr met again yesterday with the committee on capitol hill. she was subpoenaed last month after she cut the voluntary interview. sure. guilfoyle spoke at that january 6th rally that was held before the riot. congressional investigators say she raised money for the rally and had direct talks with the people involved. a number of major airlines have dropped their mask

mandates after a federal judge ruled the cdc can't require masks on planes, trains and other forms of public transit. alaska delta united and southwest all lifted their mask requirements as the t s a said it will no longer enforce federal mask rules. the mask mandate was supposed to be placed in place for two more weeks but was abruptly lifted some people found out while sitting on their flights. family take mine off. so whatever they tell me, i can. i will. i think everybody has been ready for a long time. it's a good thing i would rather keep it on because there's all kinds of different influenza kinds are different. contagions and i'm just not sure it's over. masks are optional, and mineta, san jose and oakland international airport, sfo is still requiring them for now, some infectious disease experts say they don't think a judge should make this decision. president here is that the cdc and other federal agencies cannot enact mandates can't tell

people that they need to do certain things during a public health crisis. i think that's an enormously dangerous precedent. this is no time to be putting people at increased risk of getting infected, confined spaces traveling with lots of other people having no idea whether they're infected or not . i feel really strongly about this because we are not through with this pandemic. we're in another wave right now. the biden administration has said that federal agencies are reviewing the ruling. most area transit agencies continue to require passengers to wear masks . they include san francisco mew knee transit. caltrain and vt. a. now bart says that masks are required but that it will not enforce the masking policy. amtrak says masks are not required. alright speaking of transit, we're watching your morning commute at 7 40. james torres is here with the very latest james thinking this is eventually going to start to smooth and now because we're

starting to see some improvements but there's still a lot to deal with, and it's still a lot to look at. want to take you over to the peninsula first, which i was just praising a minute ago because there wasn't much traffic there to talk about at the time, but you can see one oh one north and south bend. getting a little bit of a slowdown near the san mateo bridge. once you go across the bridge, you get hit with this 8 80 still very much a headache this morning, even a little bit of a slowdown on the actual bridge itself to but a number of car crashes all along 80 that's causing some problems both north and south. and, uh, in both directions here, so if you're heading out this morning, be sure to keep that in mind taking out there to the same mateo bridge where things are moving along pretty smoothly. there are several more cars on the actual freeway at this point, which we totally expect. 20 minutes before the eight o'clock hour and will always take you over to the bay bridge toll plaza showing you a little bit of a back up there, but you see, the cars are moving just a bit. 7 41 let's talk to rosemary. and let's talk about some weather. all right. we have a lot of gray sky still out there as you could

of last week. you know, it's today has been one of the worst days. i think i don't know if the rain has much to do with it. or if it's just that's how tuesday is but i just want to show you just a general overall map of what the bay area looks like this morning because it is just an absolute mess. i mean, you see red all over the place, you see icons all over the place. traffic crashes kind of just everywhere this morning, mostly in the east bay as of today, so let's show you some of the trouble spots here. 80 north and southbound just just gross today, so if you are heading out the door with the next hour, i would suggest start considering those detours or ah, just give yourself that plenty of extra time because this is going to be such a slowdown just after the san mateo bridge that want to take you over to the bay bridge, which looks like it's trying to have some trouble on it to both on each end on the east of the west and east bound and it looks like we're some of the trouble spot is the most troubling if you're actually on the bridge traffic seems to be moving by semi smoothly there. one last

look at 8 80. then let's take you over to the bay bridge toll plaza where you see that bit of back up there. it's a nasty morning for traffic, but hopefully as the morning goes on, things will smoothen out 7 52. weather is not so nasty today. whether it's nice and their dryer roadway should help out to thank you, james. good morning and happy tuesday. we started out with some light rain early this morning. now we are left with just a bit of drizzle a few sprinkles. will turn partly cloudy and drive for the second part of your morning and into the afternoon. here's a live look at all the cloud cover is still in place, with the clouds in place and the added moisture. wow we're a lot more mild this morning than we were yesterday. santa rosa yesterday was within a couple of degrees of freezing this morning, upper forties to fifties 51 in san francisco, 54 conquered san carlos and san jose mid upper fifties before we move forward, let's take a step back. take a look at where we did actually get a good amount of rain, canfield reported. more than half inch napa reported more than a third of an inch center

as attempt oakland 6 107 inch a half moon by almost 1/10 of an inch, as well as san francisco richmond picked up a quarter inch in ben lomond a quarter inch in the santa cruz mountains. but here we stand right now, with just a little bit of a light shower action over areas of the north bay. it looks like over the hills, maybe mount tam and then into the diablo range. the sierra continues with the snow here. and you do have a winter weather advisory for travelers going until two o'clock this afternoon . up over those passes expect to have the chains or snow tires for us, we're going to call for partly cloudy, even mostly sunny conditions into the afternoon today. as we await the next storm. here's a look at tomorrow morning. we are partly to mostly cloudy. there is that rain by the afternoon. it moves in, and it's with us for the second part of wednesday. it looks like all of thursday, maybe even friday morning. and if i move you all the way into friday. could ceo and inter so in some of those water spots, and we'll continue to watch that. but that system coming our way it looks to be

very seasonal. i'll have a look at the current conditions how much rain fell and already tracking the next storm coming up here in just a little bit time now is 801 not sure how much trouble we're seeing out on the roadways this morning due to that rain. hi, james. yeah just a little bit of that. rosemary good morning to you. i want to take you straight out. live to the bay bridge here where we're told that there's some sort of accident, possibly more than one that's backing up some of the actual bridge traffic. you see right now people who are exiting oakland getting onto the bridge. looking pretty smooth for the most part as of now, but if you look really closely at your screen here, you can see kind of in the distance of san francisco side of the bridge heading into the city. that is pretty much at a standstill for the time being , so keeping an eye on that and see how much longer that last bay bridge toll plaza getting backed up as well. probably as far back. it looks like the 5 80 or the 8 80 interchange. speaking of 8 80 that is still a mess will give an update on that in about the next 10 minutes for them. let's go back to frank.

and we look forward to that, james. thank you time now 80 to several major airlines have dropped their mask mandates. after a federal judge ruled the cdc cannot require masks on planes, trains and other forms of public transit. ktvu is jesse gary joins us live. he's over at the oakland airport with how passengers are feeling this morning. reacting as well, jesse good morning. frank good morning to you and passengers are feeling a lot better knowing they don't have to wear a mask on an airplane for a cross country flight or even for a short flight. you know, a federal judge in florida was trying to make things a lot easier, but instead he's made it much more confusing instead of one blanket rule. now you have airlines being able to decide whether or not their individual passengers will be able to mask up or not. let's go ahead. take a look at our video. we can tell you that delta alaska air united southwest, they have all lifted their mask requirements. at mineta, san jose and here at oakland international airport masks are not required, and

that's fo officials say masks are still required while they wait for guidance from local leadership. we talked to some passengers this morning. reaction is mixed. i feel like they're probably should still be required because covid hasn't necessarily left us yet. i think it's mainly just, um, i think the pathogens are still there. i think it's still it's still a good precaution to mask up in the plains. feel safe. you know, i've been vaccinated have been boosted. so, um you know, i feel pretty safe to breathe and get full of all oxygen. yes. last week, the cdc announcing its mask order was extended 15 days until may, the third. this was to take more time to study the beat 82 variant. a judge ruled the cdc failed to justify his decision to extend the mandate. you're inevitably inevitably going to see more cases of covid now does that translate to another wave or something

significant on human health? i'm not sure, but without a doubt, we're going to have more cases. most bay area transit agencies are continuing to require maths while onboard. these include sf uni, a c transit, caltrain and vt. a bart says masks are required, but that policy is not being enforced. and track officials say mass are also not required, and uber executives have dropped their mask mandate after learning of the federal judge's ruling. i told you last hour that we try to have some comments from a c transit. i was a little bit wrong, but we will have it for you. in the next hour. we're live at oakland international this morning. jesse gary ktvu, fox two news head back to you. freeway sounds good, jesse. thank you for that . california lifted its five day quarantine for people who have been exposed covid-19, but not every barrier government. is ready to roll back its own guidelines. alameda county health officials will still advise people who are not currently on their vaccines to

stay home for at least five days after being in contact with anyone who may have been infected with the virus city of berkley, which has its own public health department, will join almost all of the other counties and follow state guidelines. sonoma county has not announced its recommendations just yet. nationally the number of covid cases going up again. about half of the states have reported rising numbers since the first of the month, and that has many state and local officials. anticipating rising hospitalization rates, they say if they see the number of hospital patients rise could radiant state the old restriction. starting to see. so increases in the numbers. we're not seeing those increases manifested in increased hospitalizations. not yet, but we're looking at that very, very closely. white house says it supports the decisions be made by local officials who take into account their current infection and hospitalization rates. federal officials also say they

need both local and national experts to start transitioning. towards a more effective long term strategy this morning. san jose police are investigating a shooting that sent one man to the hospital. this happened near the san jose municipal golf course at about 8 30 last night. police say amen was found near london avenue and barry s. a road was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries. so far, no other details on the victim or a suspect have been released. we are getting our first look at a man accused of killing a 15 year old girl while trespassing on a stockton school campus. police say they have arrested anthony gray, a 52 year old man from french camp. they say he stabbed and killed the teenage girl, police say, drove to stag high school and entered the campus through a gate. the district is now reevaluating its security. people gathered outside the high school at sunset to remember the girl who was killed, family members say 15 year old alicia reinado was a good student and a rising athlete with the high school softball program. her father says he doesn't know the man accused of killing his

daughter. i don't really have any enemies. my daughter was shouting her whole life. we took her to school chicken home from school. she was very outgoing. it's just like the funniest person we know she was clever and she got thick skin and she can come back with a funny joke. investigators are working to learn why the girl was targeted and say it appears it was a random attack. today the one at creek city council will once again consider whether to allow more marijuana businesses within the city. the city currently allows up to two delivery services for medical marijuana. at tonight's meeting, council members could decide to include delivery services. for recreational marijuana back in october, walnut creek considered approving recreational marijuana sales, but council members delayed making any decisions at that time. and for the first time at tomorrow's 4 20 festival in san francisco, people can actually buy cannabis legally in golden gate park gathering at hippie hill has been canceled for the last two years. but the

unofficial holiday celebrating marijuana is back on tomorrow. the event is officially sanctioned by the city, and they expect as many as 20,000 people to attend, however. now that people can buy pot in the park, the rules are going to be a little bit tighter. and what that means to be clear whether there are sales or not. the fact is under state law. if you are under the age of 21, you will not be allowed within the facility. so this is going to be the first time that this is done. you will be turned away. proof of age is going to be required. the mayor of london. breed says the city will have extra shuttle services, restrooms and clean up as well as extra security on hand, the meadow will be gated off to enforce that age limitation and those gates open up. at 10 o'clock in the morning. tomorrow on 4 20 ktvu is taking a look at

country to join the european union, which could provide additional military assistance area. aid groups say there's growing concern about the civilians caught in the war zone and say it's getting even harder to deliver humanitarian aid to them. san jose group called hearts from ukraine flew more than 130 boxes of food, hygiene products and medical supplies to ukraine. they say such efforts are becoming even more difficult. there was an orphanage there about 11,000 children. and while we're en route while the shipment is in process that city go occupied by russian forces, there was no longer accessible. the united nations chief of humanitarian aid called for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in order to establish safe corridors to get aid into the war zones and evacuate civilians. he said a three day window is needed for safe evacuations. russia has not agreed to that. time now is 8 17 , the vice president kamala harris while visiting california's vandenberg space force base announced a new u. s

legislature last night. the candidates matt haney and david campos faced off in a forum that mayonnaise and hosted by the project, open hand, matt haney currently serves as a supervisor in the city, representing the tenderloin south mark market civic center in mission bay. he's endorsed by mayor london breed and says if he's elected, he will put much of his focus on poverty. california has the highest rate of poverty in the country. i think that's not something that we acknowledge enough or recognize enough and many of the many of the challenges and problems that we have, whether it's access to healthcare access to good jobs, access to food access to housing , homelessness are connected to poverty and inequality. haney is running against former supervisor david campos, who is currently on leave from his job as a chief of staff for district attorney chase a boudin, campos says the only way to tackle tough issues in sacramento is to

cut ties with corporations. i am running a corporate free campaign 100% because i believe that to actually have california valiantly address issues like hunger you have to elect individuals who are not beholden to their corporate interests that run the show. the state 17th assembly district covers the eastern portion of the city became open last year, but david chiu stepped down to become separate cisco's city attorney. in february special election, haney defeated campus by about 700 votes. the winner of today's election will only hold that safe for just a few months because they'll have to run again. in the normal primary election in june, and then the general election coming up in november this morning reports that president biden has told former president barack obama he plans to run for a second term in the white house. president biden told reporters last month . he'd be quote very fortunate to have a rematch of the 2020 election. former president

turn back migrants. without first hearing their asylum claims due to the covid 19 pandemic, but the vitamin ist ray shin has decided to lift that restriction now that the pandemic is easing up. all this comes as border patrol officials reported more than 221,000 migrants encounters last month, the most in any single month during the vitamin installation. we know 221,000 people this last month, and certainly right now the cartels are looking at para 42 the moment they lift that you're gonna stay seeing a lot more people coming across. the title. 42 restrictions are set to be lifted on may. the 23rd multiple major airlines have dropped their mask mandates after a federal judge ruled the cdc cannot require masks on planes, trains and other forms of public transit. alaska delta , united and southwest all lifted their mask requirements. the test t s a says it will no longer enforce federal masking rules. the mask mandate was

whether they're infected or not . i feel really strongly about this because we are not through with this pandemic. we're in another wave right now. the biden administration has said the mask order is no longer in effect, but that federal agencies are reviewing the ruling. most bay area transit agencies continue to require passengers to wear masks. they include san francisco, immunity , transit caltrain and to bart says that masks are required but that it's not enforcing the policy. amtrak says masks are not required. the new falcon that has taken roost atop the uc berkeley's campanelli clock tower finally has a name. alden his name comes after the second director of the berkeley museum of vertebrate zoology miller, which is fitting since the last bird that was nesting there was named after the first director of that museum. grenell that falcon was found dead last month . once the new bird moved into the into cal, the falcon team
