♪ right now at 11:00. tensions escalate at columbia university. take a look. the nypd in riot gear arresting protesters that took over that building right in the heart of campus. new pictures from inside that building show barricades and broken glass. the protests at columbia inspired this movement that's now spread across the country. and that includes right here in the bay area, where those encampments remain in place at san francisco state, uc berkeley and stanford. nbc bay area's jocelyn moran is at stanford tonight. jocelyn, students are paying close attention to what's happening on the east coast. yeah, exactly.

now, right here at stanford, everything remains peaceful as it has the last few days. but pro-palestinian protesters are very well aware as to what's going on at other universities like columbia. one person we did speak to tonight saying that they want those who are getting arrested to know that they here are with them tonight. chaos at columbia university as police in riot gear moved in. nypd saying about 100 people have been arrested. officers were seen using a vehicle with a ramp to access the second floor window of hamilton hall, which protesters occupied early this morning. in addition to those inside the building, others outside were seen being placed in zip ties. this came after columbia university tonight sent a letter asking the nypd for assistance before officers made their move, students had been warned to shelter in place. in a statement about why police were called, columbia university says in part, quote, after the university learned overnight

that hamilton hall had been occupied, vandalized and blockaded. we were left with no choice tonight, nypd says hamilton hall is now cleared. these are photos of the aftermath released by columbia university. they show furniture stacked inside an elevator, broken windows and other damage, though it's unclear who is responsible for it. while this was all unfolding on the east coast, protesters at stanford university, we were watching. i hope that people around the country will use them as a model for action and for change. honestly, i pray for them and i thank them because they are leading a very, very difficult fight. at white plaza, everything remained peaceful tonight. tents remain up with signs around the encampment. it's a similar scene at uc berkeley and at san francisco state. go back home. but all is not calm. at every campus in

california. at cal poly humboldt, officers in riot gear moved in on protesters there early this morning. they had been occupying two buildings for several days. like protesters on other campuses, they're calling for the university to divest from companies doing business in israel. at least 35 people were arrested. now, here at stanford, the university has said that students violating university policy could face consequences up to even suspension. the protester who i spoke with tonight says there is fear around that. but that fear does not compare to what students at other universities have been facing, nor what people in gaza are currently facing at stanford. i'm jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news jocelyn, thank you. israel is a central part, of course, of these protests. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is saying israel will move ahead with an attack on rafah, with or without a hostage deal. thousands of palestinians, tens of thousands have fled to rafah, a southern city in the gaza strip.

secretary of state antony blinken for the united states again met with arab leaders in jordan today, trying to broker a cease fire. the proposal on the table right now would see hamas free around 33 hostages. in exchange, israel would agree to a 40 day cease fire and the release of potentially thousands of palestinian prisoners. tomorrow more protests are expected may 1st on the calendar, which is known as may day, a day of action demonstrations are planned across the bay area, including one at the port of oakland. protesters plan to shut down the port. this is video from when that happened in january at another protest. other protests are planned for san francisco, san jose, santa rosa and sonoma. all right, we finally have the results of that recount in the closely watched race to replace retiring congresswoman anna eshoo. so tonight, the tie for second place appears to have been broken. santa clara county published its results late this

afternoon. evan low gained 11 votes and joe simitian gained seven. the recount found no change in san mateo county, so for now, low is ahead by four votes. now, if this stands low, will face former san jose mayor sam liccardo in november. but it's not over yet. there are 16 ballots still in their envelopes in san mateo county that have never been counted. those votes are still being challenged. ballots arrived after the deadline, and both the county and postal service are investigating the postmarks on those envelopes to decide if they should be admitted. what what they have to look for right now is there a full postmark, are there may be two, which sometimes can happen. is one, what about a postmark that isn't fully stamped? only partially. what do you do with that? what do you do about the ballot without a postcard? in which case you have to go back and you can trace it. the post office can trace these things as to

where they came from. the recount was requested by a former liccardo campaign staffer. after weeks of steering clear of questions, liccardo issued a statement today saying, quote, i did not request this recount. neither i or nor anyone in my campaign has communicated with padilla or his donors about the recount, adding the candidates and their campaigns cannot lawfully communicate with independent expenditure groups. meanwhile, when will you cast your vote? tonight, the alameda county board of supervisors certified the signatures collected in the effort to recall district attorney pamela price, but there's still no date on the calendar for the recall election. that actually won't be determined for another two weeks. nbc's pete serratos has the details in person. yes and no, and yes and yes. the alameda county board of supervisors unanimously voting to certify the signature submitted to recall district attorney pamela price. but the board says it

will need some time to decide when to hold the recall election . it will make its final decision at a special meeting on may 14th. pico boulevard price pico boulevard price. it's a hot button issue that continues to create divisions within the community, with supporters and opponents of the recall demonstrating in front of the county administration building prior to the meeting. will that happen to me? i have no trust in pamela price, many of them going inside the board room to express their opinions during a spirited public comment portion of the meeting, but recall organizers are feeling disappointed that the board is still waiting to decide on a date for the vote. the special election will alleviate some of the losses that still can happen right now, with her directives. public safety is priceless, so we cannot afford to wait any longer to for this special election. meantime opponents of the recall feel the da isn't getting a fair shot at doing the job she was elected to do. they're putting on her the burden of eight years ago and even 30 years ago. like

come in immediately. da pam and just wipe away crime. make us safe prior to tonight's certification, the da herself accused recall organizers of breaking the law to gather signatures and money for the recall accusations. recall organizers dispute. price says the state is now investigating. i am concerned for our community that people would be able to come in with money and overturn an election, that people would be able to come in and bring people in who would lie and mislead the public before the may 14th meeting, the board will have to consider the cost of a special election, which could range from 15 to $20 million. some county residents have said it should just be added to the november ballot to save money. i can't say that i'm confident. i'm just hoping that all the work that we've done and what the community has asked for is what they'll consider in oakland. pete serratos, nbc, bay area news. well tonight, police

are trying to figure out what led to a crash near san jose state. a man riding a scooter was hit and suffered life threatening injuries. it happened this afternoon on 10th street, right near campus. investigators say two cars were also involved and when officers arrived, the victim was under one of those cars. a witness heard it all happen. i heard, like, a lot of commotion. somebody sound like somebody screaming. so then i went to the window, actually, and i seen the car and i seen somebody just lay it out. so i was like, oh my goodness. so then i went outside and looked like somebody was actually under a car. at last check, the rider of that scooter remains in critical condition. no word yet if he has any ties to san jose state campus. police sent a message to students letting them know that if they saw the crash, there are counseling services available. a suspected shoplifter picked the wrong store on the wrong day. this is new video of police chasing and detaining a man suspected of stealing from the target store in san mateo's bridgepoint shopping center.

this happened actually march 14th. that same day, an organized retail theft task force happened to be working in the area. the task force is made up of officers from daly city, san bruno and san mateo. since it was created last october, the group has arrested almost 90 people suspected of shopping, suspected shoplifters and being able to dedicate resources to combat organized retail theft is , has been a great thing. and we're we're seeing results from it. so the task force has recovered more than 700 items worth about 23,000 bucks. it was made possible with the help of a state grant. new at 11. some big changes may be coming to a menu near you. a decision today by the state attorney general means there can be no surcharges, added to your restaurant tab. everything must be included in the price you see on that menu. and as nbc bay area's terry mcsweeney found out, it's leaving a bad taste in the mouth of some restaurant owners. 2315

if you've ever wondered how your check at a restaurant got so high, help may be on the way. california attorney general rob bonta has ruled that the ban on hidden fees for hotels and concert and sports tickets, approved by lawmakers last october also applies to restaurants. the price varies on the menu. that's the way it is, you know, and we don't add anything at il torno restaurant in san francisco's north beach, owner santino esposito says he has never charged a hidden or junk fee, such as a percentage for employees health care or higher wages. it's always been right there in the price on his menu. i work myself more, you know, i cut off some employee if i have to, so i work more. so i don't need to charge people any extra fees. but many restaurants are concerned that adding these surcharges to the price on the menu could cause sticker shock, says golden gate restaurant association executive director lori thomas will that being up

front and center cause people to dine out less? and if people continue to dine out less, we do have a struggling restaurant industry. many restaurants, especially larger ones, do charge the so-called hidden fees. owners and managers at restaurants here in north beach tonight declined our invitation to talk to us on camera, but some said it is not going to help. will i lose enough money that i have to either lay people off or i can't make it work anymore? we asked some diners how they like their pricing all up front, or tell me later. on the one hand, i like to pay the price that that's advertised because that feels good. someone says it's going to be $9. it's $9 for me. i am definitely okay with it being added to the check. i don't need to see that up front. i'm not choosing a restaurant or a hotel based exclusively on price. a lot of it is about the experience. restaurants don't have long to prepare for the menu changes. the new state law goes into

effect july 1st in san francisco, terry mcsweeney nbc, bay area news. well, speaking of the city, how do you get people back to downtown san francisco? here's a live look tonight. leaders have been brainstorming about this for a couple of years now. ever since the height of the pandemic. one supervisor wants to create an investment fund to lure a college to the embattled downtown corridor. supervisor ahsha safai, who is running for mayor, introduced his proposal today at the board of supervisors meeting. he says because of the commercial real estate slump, there are deals to be had. so we're proposing today a downtown educational zone. we're going to create a fund that includes city money, that includes the ability to go out and get philanthropy and private foundation dollars to purchase buildings in the downtown. if the idea sounds familiar to it is mayor breed has been pushing a plan to attract a historically black college or university to downtown. sapphire's plan differs because he's proposing

to buy the properties rather than ask universities to lease them from existing owners. we're back in 60s. up next, get ready to pay more at the pump. when and how much california's gas tax is going up again. also, some extra buzz at a major league baseball game tonight. the very unusual delay, and it had nothing to do with the weather. but this has everything to do with the weather. check it out. we have rainfall coming back in my forecast also that sierra snow. we'll have the updated timing and totals to

for running a brothel out of a home. police say they first received a tip in november that something suspicious was going on inside this house on 16th street. a neighbor, who asked not to be identified, told us a parade of men have been visiting the home for about a year now. they also saw different women with luggage get picked up at night, constantly seeing like men come from like as early as, like nine, 10 a.m. all the way up to like two in the morning, and just every hour on the hour. the fbi helped with this investigation. juang louis. he's the suspect seen here. was arrested earlier this month. police say two women inside the home were identified as his

victims. new at 11. gas prices are about to go up a little more over the summer. starting in july. california's gas tax will increase by $0.02 from $0.58 a gallon to $0.60. so why? well, state excise tax on fuel is supposed to pay for road repair, goes up every year to adjust for inflation. and we're already paying close to $2 more than most of the country. the average cost of a gallon nationwide is 365. in california, it is 539. and that's before the tax hike. in the bay area, the averages are higher than the rest of the state. you could see the prices for a gallon of regular in san jose. oakland and san francisco are hovering around 550. a push to build a brand new city in solano county has taken a big step forward. over 20,000 solano residents have signed the petition. this has been a highly controversial project. the ceo

of california forever announced today that his company has secured more than enough signatures to qualify for the november ballot. the solano county registrar is now in the process of verifying all those signatures. california forever said it wants to build a green community in east solano county. the group claims it would include thousands of homes, walkable neighborhoods, shopping, dining and open space. but many local and national leaders don't like the plan. i think the reality is there's a there's a small but vocal group of opponents who really dislike the project. but the more people in the county learn about it, and the more they look at the facts, instead of all of this misinformation that's been put out there, the more people are beginning to say, why is anyone against this? they have said that they will pay their fair share. well, now, who's going to pay the remaining share? it will be the taxpayers of solano county of california. and sure, as we're talking, they're going to try to get federal money to build the infrastructure. the group is bankrolled by a group

of some silicon valley billionaires. the county registrar of voters office says it will likely take several weeks to count, and verify those signatures. meanwhile for the first time in almost five years, california's population is growing. governor newsom releasing new numbers today, showing our state gained 67,000 residents last year. state officials attribute the rise to an improvement in immigration policies and the growth in the native population. the state estimates california now has is now home to more than 39 million people. this is a different population boom at san francisco's pier 39. more than 800 sea lions have returned to the docks. that's actually the highest number in seven years. harbormaster says this population boom is the result of a huge school of anchovy coming from the farallon islands near the golden gate bridge, pier says sea lions have been a popular attraction since they first swarmed the docks after

the 1989 loma prieta earthquake. if you're not able to see them in person, no need to worry. you can see them on the pier 39 live webcam. if you walk by, you can hear them. you walk close by. you can smell them. they're all there. every. i was going to say every time family comes to visit, we take them there. they want to go there. i'm like, really? yep. they they got to go. they got to go. our weather forecast here for tomorrow. we have high pressure keeping the storm track just to the north as we roll through tomorrow. and that's going to keep any rain chances up towards washington and oregon. but we will get into some windy and warmer weather the way all this is setting up. so let me show you more on the wind here for tomorrow morning. i really think the strongest gusts will be through the central valley, 20 to about 50mph. notice some of that magenta color in the north bay, east bay, and south bay mountains. that's also 20 to 50 lower elevations. tomorrow, anywhere from 10 to 25. so a little bit breezy to windy here on your forecast. let me show you more details on that. plus updated rain chances. yes, in my

7-day forecast that's going to impact your weekend. so hang tight. we'll get to those rain chances coming up in about a minute, but let's roll it through tomorrow morning. pretty simple. start here. you'll need the jacket and the sunglasses. mostly sunny skies. we're down back to some cold 40s here. 49 through the peninsula. south bay at 48. also dipping down to the upper 40s for the east bay. san francisco 51 and the north bay 48. now, because of that dry northerly wind moving through the mountains, that is going to warm temperatures up anywhere from 4 to 7 degrees tomorrow. so we are going to do it. we're going back up into the 80s. it's going to make it really a beautiful afternoon out here. up to 80 in santa rosa, 81 concord martinez 7877 in san jose, 76. palo alto up towards woodside, even 70, in san francisco, right there in half moon bay. can't quite get that warm because we still have some of that ocean air kind of filtering throughout half moon bay. nonetheless sunny and dry. and then here comes that big change. we think by

saturday's forecast, everything right now is really trending towards this storm system moving closer and closer towards the bay area. so that is upping our confidence. we'll get into some widespread rain chances on saturday. much colder temperatures in the 60s. just look at these totals here. a quarter to a half inch, about a quarter inch for the south bay. everyone else averaging about a half inch northern coastline one plus inches. that is unusual this late in the season. we'll take it, though. it's going to help to continue to keep that fire danger on the low side. sierra snow up to about a foot at the highest elevations. south lake tahoe right there at five. snow starting around pollock pines. look at the temperatures on my 7-day forecast. eye popping here from 70 on wednesday down to 56 saturday, and even bigger drop for the inland valleys. low 80s next two days. that's right. not a typo. 59 on saturday. woo that's good, family from out of town. sea otter weather. yeah there you go. there you go. sea lion weather. right thanks, jeff. you

got it. all right, still ahead, the cybertruck trend may be spreading. the chinese company revealing a familiar new design. and happening now. a san jose family is just trying to pick up the pieces after their food truck was destroyed in a fire last week. firefighters say it was an explosion early thursday morning. that family has set up a go fund me in hopes of replacing its $95,000 truck. you can rd more about it

a tesla cybertruck. the vehicle showed up this week at the beijing auto show. yeah, pretty familiar here. it's made by a car company in wuhan, china. its electric, silver and angular. pretty similar to tesla cybertruck. worth noting. tesla does not sell cyber trucks in china. new bragging rights for disney. not only is it known for

being the most magical place on earth, it just earned its very first michelin star. the prestigious. fine dining honor went to disney world victoria and albert's restaurant in orlando. michelin says aside from world class wine, the chefs and staff serve up a multi-course new american cuisine. but if you plan to visit the victorian style restaurant, you can't just walk in and get served. you're going to need to book a reservation. at least two months in advance. and prices aren't cheap either. each diner will be charged $295, so almost $300 for a fixed price menu. that's not like a family style. that's one per person. no? yeah that's pricey. it's very pricey. up next, the surprising as we'll show you what they did

shoestring budget, a really shoestring budget, like more

than usual last in the league with a total payroll of about 60 million bucks. for comparison, the giants are 10th in the league with the payroll of 211,000,002 11, compared to the a's 60 at the coliseum tonight, announced crowd of. we're just saying it's so sad. 3876 i'm not even sure that many people were there. a's and pirates. here's the good news. bottom of the seventh jj bleday his second home run of the game. this made it 5 to 2 and from there just give it to this guy. the best closer in the game right now. mason miller his eighth save of the season. they can't touch him. a's win it 5 to 2. they improved to 14 and 17 on the season ahead of the angels and astros in the division. the giants at fenway park. hard to figure out this team so far. this was supposed to be their muscle lineup. there's logan webb, the ace on the hill, but the red sox got to him bottom of the fourth. wilshire abreu with the rbi triple. the sox take a
