encampments, released a statement in response to the city's report. it reads in part, a reduction in tents does not necessarily mean a reduction in homelessness. homelessness only decreases when more housing is available. there is still great unmet need with long wait lists for shelter and housing. end quote. now this count was for tents and encampments, not people. the official count of unhoused people in the city is done every two years. the last one was done in 2022, and the data from that showed that there were more than 7700 unhoused people in san francisco. so the data from this year's count is expected to be released sometime in the next month. in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news after more than one year without a permanent police chief, oakland's new chief starts this weekend. >> mayor shengtao says chief floyd mitchell's first official day on the job will be this saturday. a public swearing in ceremony will take place on another date, which has yet to be set. we spoke with mayor tao earlier on mornings on two the

midwest, which has seen a 5 to 15% increase in spring rainfall throughout the past three decades, according to federal data. >> we're really focused on our soil health and adding more organic matter to the soil, and that makes the soil more resilient to excessive water. >> too many days of intense rain at the start of the planting season can make fields too soggy, preventing farmers from working their land under tight deadlines. >> you get a bunch of rain up front that delays planting, which that leads to, can lead to possibility of yield loss because you're just lacking sunlight. you're just lacking growing days. >> while delays in planning can set back harvests, even if the crops make it into the ground, they can be killed or damaged. if the fields wind up flooding. >> as the season goes on, we're going to have to scrap a few things. we're gonna have to take things out. but that diversity gives us resiliency. >> some farmers warn produce variety and quality could be impacted in the future of conditions persist. chris dimeo,

consumed at least seven grams of olive oil a day. those involved in the study were age 56, on average. when researchers followed up after the 28 years, they found that the adults who did consume a tablespoon of olive oil per day had a 28% lower risk of dementia related death. us health experts now suggest. women start breast cancer screenings at an earlier age. the us preventative services task force now recommends women, even those at average risk for breast cancer, start screenings every other year at age 40 instead of 50. doctor mike stagliano of the fox medical team discussed a possible drawback of more false positive tests. >> the concerns are, well, what if you get a false positive? what if you find something that doesn't need to be found? well that's why you have people like me guiding you through the shark infested waters of health care. that's why we all need a health care provider, a primary care provider gynecologist to help you get through this.
