♪ it's tuesday morning in the middle east and there is uncertainty in gaza. after hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal. but israel says the deal is far from its essential demands. israel continues its military operations there in rafah, about 100,000 palestinians have been told to evacuate rafah, while israel sends a delegation to work on a cease fire deal now. all this while the man at the center of the negotiations for the u.s. spent the day in san francisco. with that, we bring in nbc's terry mcsweeney.
1:36 am
israeli forces entered gaza's southernmost city of rafah this evening after israel had warned refugees via leaflet and text to move to a safer humanitarian zone. we know that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and president biden had a half hour phone call today, with the president arguing against a large scale invasion of rafah and last week acting to prevent it not only heavily involved. we know that the first time in memory ever, perhaps the united states has held back a shipment of 2,000 pound bombs, the kind that they have been using, and other offensive equipment. as confident as we are and its potential. we're deeply aware of its risks. secretary of state antony blinken in san francisco today speaking about i at a cybersecurity conference, did not once mention gaza. in washington, though, a state department spokesman did. there has been a significant offer on the table. the ball has been in hamas's court. we have made clear that they should accept that offer. but when word came
1:37 am
that the political wing of hamas had accepted the offer brokered by the u.s, qatar and egypt, a senior israeli official quickly told nbc news the details of the hamas ceasefire are not with the israeli government agreed to. still israel says it will review hamas's proposal, even dispatching a delegation to negotiate. the war in gaza also front and center on the san francisco state campus, where university president lynn mahoney held direct, very public discussions with pro-palestinian students, some of whom set up this encampment a week ago. they're demanding the school disclose investments with companies doing business with israel and then divest. we can have two conversations. one is about what full transparency would look like and how we can make it clear to anybody who wants to see how san francisco state invests its funds and how it spends it. but the second is to take another look at that investment policy. while president mahoney is looking into the way the university does business, students out here at the encampment tonight are telling me that they are optimistic that their message
1:38 am
and this effort is bringing about change. i think, honestly, we're feeling pretty good. we're feeling pretty energized about what happened. i think it's just great that we were able to have this dialog with our president. and now we're able to, you know, go back and decide kind of how we want to move forward in san francisco, terry mcsweeney, nbc, bay area news and taking a live look from the gaza border tonight, the details of that cease fire deal remain unclear. but israel believes that many of the 93 hostages captured are still alive and being held in rafah. this is all developing by the hour, so make sure to stay with today in the bay for all of the overnight developments starting at 5:00 tomorrow morning. we have new details tonight about president biden's visit here to the bay area this week. the president will touch down on friday, and he'll be busy with two high dollar fundraisers, his campaign added a second event to his schedule for this friday. president biden will be in palo alto for a fundraiser hosted by silicon valley heavyweights marissa mayer and joe ansanelli. he'll
1:39 am
also be attending a separate event at the portola valley, home of billionaire venture capitalist vinod khosla. first lady jill biden will also be in town. speaking at an event in marin county on thursday evening. it's part of a three day fundraising trip for the first lady, which also includes stops in southern california, oregon and arizona. new at 11 some antioch families are breathing a sigh of relief tonight after police captured a murder suspect on the loose. investigators ordered a lockdown around 2:00 this afternoon in a neighborhood near gentry town drive and putnam street. officers were looking for 28 year old carlos palacios of stockton for hours later, they caught and arrested him. no word yet on why he decided to flee to antioch tonight. a san francisco mom is asking for urgency and accountability after a man allegedly yelled racist! anti-asian remarks on a muni bus and even took out a stun gun at one point, her son was on that bus, along with other lowell
1:40 am
high school students. nbc bay area's jocelyn moran is in the newsroom tonight with the details. jocelyn. yeah, audrey. this happened wednesday. and still there's no video that sfmta nor sfpd has released that shows the person who yelled these racial slurs. and that is, what has this mother so concerned that this person is still out there. while many students continue to take the bus, it has to take public transportation every day, and so do a lot of young kids. and there's been a lot of asian hate in our city, but not a lot of, you know, responsive accountability. liz ley says there's been a lack of urgency to address hate against asians in san francisco, especially after a recent incident on a muni bus. her 14 year old son was on his way home from lowell high school with his friend when a man started shouting discriminatory and racist remarks using the c slur and then saying that asians are ruining this country. they need to leave. she tells us her son
1:41 am
was shocked and scared. he said when this man was yelling these things, he would look down at his feet and try not to make eye contact because he was very afraid that as soon as he made eye contact because he looks asian american, that the guy would start to attack him more directly and personally. liz says other passengers tried to step in. that's when the man became more aggressive and pulled out a stun gun. the chaos ensues and the bus stops had stopped and let people out. i think your son got out. he got out and hid behind a tree, and his friend ran the other way. san francisco police say on wednesday at about 3:15 p.m, they arrived at sunset boulevard and santiago street and met with a caller who said a man on the bus yelled statements at people and pulled out what was described to be a taser. the person ran off and hasn't been seen since sfmta says bus surveillance is being reviewed by sfpd to identify the suspect and adds in a statement, quote,
1:42 am
we are taking this incident very seriously and are working with sfpd on finding the suspect. we do not tolerate crime, harassment and attacks of hate on muni, and we thank the riders who reported this to us. we asked san francisco police to see the video, but said they won't share it. in a statement, district four supervisor joel engardio says in part, quote, this is a sober reminder that ensuring public safety is our most important job. i heard from many parents who were upset about this incident. if residents don't feel safe about their daily lives, nothing else matters. tonight, liz is hoping more is done to protect students like her son. i think it's very traumatic for the kids. i don't think we can clearly understand that right away. i think that's the most heartbreaking part because they're young and we did not talk with liz's son on camera tonight. he says he's been overwhelmed after what he experienced. liz is hoping more people who were on that bus will
1:43 am
speak up. san francisco police is asking anyone with information to give them a call. audrey all right. jocelyn. thank you. a nonprofit operator in san francisco is being investigated tonight, accused of forging invoices. city attorney david chu has since suspended the ability for providence foundation of san francisco to get new city contracts or grants. chu says the unhoused nonprofit defrauded the city by submitting fake invoices for over $100,000. city believed that the money was going to fix up the oasis hotel, but chu says that never happened. investigations into these allegations and claims of wage theft are ongoing. a tragic update following a crash in cupertino involving a suspected drunk driver who hit four children. we learned today. the 11 year old girl died from her injuries. the crash happened over a week ago on foothill boulevard in cupertino. police say 38 year old adam wu was under the influence of alcohol or drugs when he crashed his
1:44 am
pickup into a car. he then hit a power pole and collided with those kids who were in the sidewalk or on the sidewalk. the kids were aged four, seven, eight and 11. three of those children survived. we have new video of a freeway shooting in the east bay. police say they arrested 32 year old dominic taylor. he's accused of pointing a pistol out of his window and firing several shots. he did it while driving on 580 near seminary avenue in oakland on the morning of march 29th. officers used a witnesses dash cam video to track him down. you can see the video. you can hear those gunshots. thankfully, no one was hurt in this shooting. we do have new details tonight on the shooting last week of two san jose police officers, the police union says officer joseph desroches was treated and released from the hospital, and rookie officer jaime arredondo remains in a critical but stable condition. they were responding to a call for help by a guest at a hotel on san ignacio avenue
1:45 am
and south san jose. kevin bruins, who she thought she had a restraining order against, was knocking on her room door when officers arrived. they confronted bruins, who started shooting at them, a report shows bruins fired eight rounds, while officer des roches fired 11. both injured officers are still recovering, both in great spirits. right now. i've talked to both of them as recently as this morning, so they're so appreciative of all the support and the care and the prayers that people give them. bruins has a long criminal. history and had two warrants for his arrest at the time of that shooting. he's also in critical but stable condition. if and when bruins recovers, he faces two counts of attempted murder of an officer. well, here are some good news. the stars were shining tonight. bay area sports royalty on full display in san francisco. five people who captivated our hearts and cheers for years. a ceremony honoring the latest inductees into the bay area sports hall of
1:46 am
fame. nbc's pete serratos was with the legends as. tonight, the bay area sports hall of fame is adding five new members who will go down in bay area history as sports icons. it includes former giants gm brian sabean, san jose sharks legend patrick marleau, san francisco 49ers great john taylor, olympic swimming legend and stanford alum jenny thompson, and danville native and san jose earthquake great chris wondolowski. you look at the people who are getting inducted with the type of athletes and people that have come before me, so it's a great honor. i have a lot of pride in sports in the bay area, and so i'm thrilled. for decades, the bay area sports hall of fame has honored the best of the best when it comes to bay area sports. tonight's inductees reflecting on the journey that got them to this stage, worked with a lot of great people, had no idea something like this or an honor like this would be, you know, in
1:47 am
the wings is, a very humbled. it's unbelievable because, i mean, first of all, like i said, i never thought i'd even i was, you know, professional football material because i didn't think about playing professional football. and for these bay area legends, joining an esteemed group of athletes in the bay area sports hall of fame is an achievement. they're not taking for granted. it's surreal, and i believe that's slowly sinking in just to be even mentioned or synonymous with some of these names that are already been able to be elected. but even the ones that are, i get to come in with in san francisco. pete cerritos, nbc, bay area news. congrats to all of them. we are back in 60s just ahead a winter storm in the middle of spring. the record just broke in up in the sierra this weekend. this training class of firefighters represents the next generation of first responders willing to step into harm's way to help others. but could their own gear be putting them at risk? i'm bigad siobhan.
1:48 am
we investigate those health concerns and tell you about how san francisco could become the first city in the nation to take unique steps to protect those who protect us. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. after a wild weekend of weather, we are going to see things stay dry and warming up, plus some wind. and i'll show you where
1:49 am
1:50 am
first of its kind in the united states. lawmakers hoping to mandate new protections for firefighters essentially a wardrobe change. and it all has to do with their uniforms and the potentially dangerous materials used to make them. but there are concerns that the fix could create even more hazards for first responders. senior investigative reporter bigad shaban takes us into the firefight. needed water coming. lieutenant miguel sadie is teaching the next generation of firefighters about what to expect on the front lines. our whole job is to work under pressure. manage your emotions and your fears, and get the job done, regardless of how dangerous it may be. regardless, that includes the risks they can see and the ones they can't. i definitely don't want someone else to have to go through what i did. sadie is a two time cancer survivor. she underwent
1:51 am
radiation and ultimately a double mastectomy here in san francisco. female firefighters have a six times higher rate of breast cancer than the national average. the department has lost more than 300 firefighters to cancer over the past 20 years. we're in ongoing exposure to smoke and other chemicals is so serious. the world health organization now classifies firefighting as an actual carcinogen. nice work. and in recent years, studies have also shown the jackets and pants firefighters rely on to stay safe during emergencies are made with materials proven to cause cancer, to put something in the equipment to people who are already there at a risk their life for you seems really malicious. these so-called pfas chemicals help clothing repel flammable liquids and resist extreme heat. but researchers say the compounds can be harmful when absorbed through the skin. the level of exposure for firefighters and exact health
1:52 am
risks are still being studied. what is it like knowing that the very thing that's supposed to protect you may actually have been part of the reason you got cancer? you know, we can't stop the job from being dangerous. we can't not run into fires, but we can change the future. we can make it so that someone else doesn't have to go through this. we're tired and we're dying on the steps of san francisco city hall behind a mound of uniforms, firefighters and lawmakers recently announced plans to enact a first in the nation ban on firefighter clothing made with pfas. those uniforms, known as turnouts, would need to be replaced over the next two years. fundamentally, what's at stake is people's lives, san francisco supervisor aaron peskin authored the legislation. he says while outfitting an entire department won't be cheap , doing nothing could force the city to pay an even higher price. the approximately $10 million that will cost is so
1:53 am
small compared to a human life is so small compared to the cost of health care, is so small compared to the cost of settling lawsuits. it is morally right and it's financially right. but alternative gear that doesn't use pfas still isn't widely available, even though the potential health hazards have been known for years. critics, including the firefighters union, argue that's because industry standards released by the national fire protection association continue to be written in a way that favor the use of pfas chemicals by including certain requirements that can't easily be met using other materials, the nfpa tells us. it doesn't create or dictate standards, but instead relies on expert volunteers, including many representatives of the firefighting community, the nfpa and the firefighters union remain locked in a heated lawsuit about what the standards should say. we contacted some of the largest manufacturers of firefighter gear to understand why pfas continues to be used.
1:54 am
only, viking responded, telling us there's been a lack of pfas free fabrics approved by the nfpa, but says it's now testing alternative materials and plans to release a new line of gear by the end of the year. manufactured without pfas. at least two other companies fire decks and lyon, are already advertising pfas free uniforms that are now being tested at fire departments across five cities, including san francisco, where firefighters say so far the gear is working. we don't want to just trade one hazard for another, so we'll burn the first one. chemist brian ormond is trying to find out if those alternatives will be safer long term. at his lab at nc state university in raleigh, he and his team are testing fabrics for reliability. there's a little bit of char right here so far, he says. his research has shown removing pfas can make uniforms less breathable and more flammable. we're introducing a potential hazard for
1:55 am
flammability on the fire scene, where firefighters didn't have that before. but he cautions what he's seeing in the lab could differ from what firefighters might experience on the front lines. regardless, first responders across the country continue to suit up. so even with the risks, you're still willing to put on the uniform in a heartbeat. it's not a choice when we have to do our job. it's our job. nice work buddy, but lieutenant safety is concerned about her trainees who were just issued the same type of standard clothing she's worn for decades. her fight for safer gear, she says, is for them so firefighters can focus on saving lives instead of worrying about their own. this would affect the future, and if it changes and legislation goes forward, then yeah, then it was all worth it. with the investigative unit, i'm bigad chaban san francisco supervisors are scheduled to
1:56 am
vote on this proposed ban tomorrow during their board meeting at city hall. now, if you have a story for anyone in our investigative unit, give us a call 888996 tips or you can visit our website nbc bay area.com/investigations. let's go ahead now to the sierra, which got a huge dumping of snow over the weekend. in fact, saturday spring storm set a single day snowfall record. uc berkeley's snow lab says it dropped more than 26in near donner summit. it's may i know, right? it can't happen in may. breaking records in may. and it was wild sierra snowpack now sitting at 90% of normal for lake tahoe northern sierra. it's over 100% of normal. so that's incredible for our snowpack. and of course that water supply a no chance of any snowfall tomorrow or rainfall. we have high pressure. that's building in across the pacific. it's moving that storm track to the north. so that's going to allow some warm air to move in with some sunshine. as we head through tomorrow. but the other thing
1:57 am
we're going to be watching is a system here to the east next couple of days that will also kick up the wind. let me get you more details on this. also, some severe weather that could cause you travel delays tomorrow in your microclimate forecast, and we are going to start it right off here tomorrow morning. and we will see the chance here of some patchy fog as we start temperatures on this chilly side down to 49 here for the south bay. much of our microclimates will begin in the 40s tomorrow, except for san francisco. have you down here to 50 daytime highs because of that area? high pressure warming up 3 to 6 degrees. so we are doing it. we're going to go back up into the 70s. so you have a chance to thaw out after that cold weekend weather. it's going to bring us back up to 75 here in santa rosa. 76. concord 74, san jose 73. palo alto. still stay on the chilly side of the coastline from that ocean breeze. overall, everyone will be warming up. the only thing we'll really be watching over the next few days will be the wind increasing. now, the focus of this wind would be over the north bay
1:58 am
mountains. the way it looks now, strong dry winds out of the north coming in at 20 to 40mph beginning wednesday morning, and then some on and off gusts here as we head right into thursday morning. and then by thursday night, any kind of wind should be getting out of here. so of course we'll have more updates on that wind in the days ahead. the other thing i want to take your attention to is severe weather. we're following tonight. barnsdall, oklahoma, north of tulsa. severe tornado damage this evening. that line of strong storms is headed to saint louis over the next few hours. and then if you're doing any traveling through the midwest here, from columbus to louisville to nashville, looking at some thunderstorms, large hail, strong winds, maybe tornadoes tomorrow. so watch out for that. if you have any connecting flights right here in san francisco, you'll see those temperatures going up into the 70s from wednesday through saturday. and then by mother's day we're at 69 and some of the warmest weather we've had so far this year, up to 89 by saturday, 84 there on sunday
