4:00 pm
country, including here in the bay area. the protests coming as the u.s. secretary of state calls on hamas to take a new israeli truce proposal. >> also, california aiming to put a life saving overdose reversal drug into the hands of more people. we're live with an expert to talk about this latest effort to make naloxone more widely available. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is the four palestine. three. three three palestine. >> first at four. it's the latest in a series of days long demonstrations at colleges and universities nationwide, and with students at another bay area campus today denouncing israel's war in gaza. >> we're going to talk live with an expert about how college protests have become a staple of american life. the increasing protests, though coming as the u.s. is stepping up pressure this afternoon for a cease fire in gaza. welcome, everyone, to
4:01 pm
the four. i'm heather holmes and i'm alex savage. >> the biden administration is urging hamas to accept the terms of a reported cease fire deal proposed by israel. the terms of this agreement have not been made public, but it reportedly lowers the number of hostages that hamas would be required to free during the initial six weeks of the cease fire, in exchange for the release of hundreds of palestinian prisoners. secretary of state antony blinken is in saudi arabia today ahead of a visit to israel this week, blinken says that while the talks continue, israel needs to improve conditions in gaza. >> now that you measure the progress in the last few weeks, including the opening of crossings, increased volume of aid delivery, 2000 and within gaza, and the building of the u.s. maritime corridor, which will open in the coming weeks. but it is not enough. >> this weekend, president biden warned israel's prime minister against a planned invasion of the southern city of rafah,
4:02 pm
which is in southern gaza. that's where more than 1 million palestinians are sheltering right now. israel's offensive in gaza has killed more than 34,000 people so far, and here in the bay area, students at san francisco state university today began demonstrating for the first time while they set up a protest encampment in solidarity with gaza. >> as this movement grows, ktvu is christien kafton joining us now. >> live from that san francisco campus with more on what the scene looks like. there this afternoon. christian >> yeah, as you described it, there is an encampment here now at san francisco state university. take a look. you can see that there are at least a half dozen tents out here. what started out as a rally at around noon today turned into this encampment here in the grassy area just outside of the cesar chavez student center. hey, free, free palestine, free palestine. today, as hundreds of protesters filled malcolm x plaza on the san francisco state university campus, students
4:03 pm
calling for an end to the war in gaza and for the universal city to divest its investments from companies doing business with israel. those students moving from that plaza to a nearby grassy area where they started the bay area's third encampment on a college campus. a media representatives for the campers say the encampment will send a clear message to school administrators was mainly the divestment that we're concerned about is the divestment on the behalf of the california state university system from the israeli military. and that newly formed faculty for justice in palestine joined this latest protest. those educators calling for the university to refrain from calling law enforcement to the campus, refrain from any academic retaliation against those who are protesting, and for the administrators to respect the students right to protest. and coming back to our, live picture since we were here, about an hour or so ago, we've seen some growth here. there are now areas where it looks like
4:04 pm
there are food stations. you can see those tents that are set up, the students here indicating that they are going to be here for the long haul. guys >> all right. christien kafton live on the san francisco state university campus. christian, thank you for the update. from there. >> well, pro-palestinian protesters at sonoma state university also showing no signs of leaving an encampment, was set up there on friday also to call for an end to the violence in gaza, dozens of tents were set up and more protesters joined over the weekend. the group is demanding the university disclose and divest from organizations that are providing assistance to israel's military. they're also asking university leaders to call for an immediate and permanent cease fire in gaza. >> a lot of us here are working class students and we're realizing that this is a time for using institutional power to help those who can't, who don't have a voice. >> the university released a statement saying that it is primarily concerned with the
4:05 pm
safety of its students, faculty, staff and visitors. it also says it supports the right to free expression and that it is committed to minimize minimizing disruption to the teaching, learning and working taking place on campus. this. >> 33333333 palestine and that chant heard once again, this time on the campus of columbia university in new york. today, students there defied orders to vacate their encampment site, and the university says it has begun the process of suspending students who remain at that site. >> okay, so let's talk more about these demonstrations on the college campuses and their effectiveness. we're joined live once again this afternoon by lisa mueller, a political science professor at macalester college there in minnesota and author of the soon to be released book called the new science of social change. really appreciate, appreciate you taking the time this afternoon. of course, the us has a long history of college protests. so
4:06 pm
what have we seen in the past? and does this movement seem different? >> well, it's not just the us that has a long history of student protests. it will come as probably no surprise to hear that campuses are generally hotbeds of activism, and that's for mainly the obvious reason that it's really relatively easy to coordinate mass movements among a bunch of folks who live and study together, who are in close knit communities where the social costs of not attending a protest can be really high, and so this is just one chapter in a very long national and international book about student protests. >> all right. as we see more and more campuses protest taking place and more and more universities across the country, we are also continuing to see tensions rise here and more clashes between protesters and police. we've seen hundreds of arrests. what do you make of the confrontations that we have seen? is that does that help the
4:07 pm
movement to get to push the message out to a wider audience, or does it sort of risk distract from the calls for peace in gaza ? >> the subtleties of confrontations matter a lot for protest outcomes. one in particular is who seems to be instigating the conflict, another is how far that conflict escalates into violence, because it's one thing to block a road or set up an encampment, and it's another to physically harm other people. and based on the social science that we have so far, when protesters initiate action violence, this almost always backfires on them. whereas when they experience violent repression, this can turn public opinion in their favor and so the optics matter a lot. if students are engaging in nonviolent protests, then it really behooves them to emphasize their nonviolence to the media, and then also to
4:08 pm
emphasize any repression that they do face, optics. you know, can be manipulated by, administrators as well. and so they should be thinking about the what it looks like to, to be arresting students on the news, to be seen to repress, even if the people who are enforcing campus policy do not regard their actions as repression. okay. >> so let's talk about what we what we might see with this movement moving forward. amit, what is the best strategy? we know that across the country, university officials have basically said you're in violation of university college policy, and we're going to give you a deadline. but in many cases, we've seen those timelines, you know, come and go . so what might be the best strategy for these college students who are protesting right now? >> well, we've seen some really telling data. 50 years after the kent state massacre, in the
4:09 pm
immediate aftermath of that crackdown. and i also want to be careful not to draw false equivalencies because we are not seeing massacres of students, although we are seeing some arrests, in the early aftermath of kent state, public opinion was not yet on the side of protesters. many americans actually blamed the protesters for, disrupting society for setting back the war effort. but more recent polls have shown that over the decades, public opinion has become more favorable to protests that happened long ago. and so the current student activists, you know, it depends on their time horizon. like if they're looking to change hearts and minds in the next few weeks, they may feel frustrated, but if they're looking at the next generation, then they may see their efforts pay off. >> obviously, we have also heard critiques of this pro-palestinian movement we're seeing on college campuses from many in washington, where we
4:10 pm
even have heard criticism from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu as well. and many of those critics say that that at times, these demonstrations veer into anti-semitism. we have heard that over and over. how do you think organizers should be addressing those elements that may be within the coalition? >> right. >> so even though, as i mentioned before, nonviolent protests tend to be much more successful at winning demands than violent protests. that's not to say that nonviolent protests never face backlash. so to take another recent example, 95% of black lives matter uprisings after the death of george floyd were unarmed. and yet the backlash was very severe, and political scientists have documented this in public opinion data, but also what the policy level. we saw a spike in anti-protest legislation, among many states, even though that wave of protest was peaceful and my coauthor and i are engaged in
4:11 pm
some brand new research on this. so we don't have findings yet, but one theory that we have is that people may reject even nonviolent protests if they hear the protests messages as punitive, because the human mind is hardwired in various ways to resist punishment that it views as illegitimate. and so if protesters are shouting slogans that other people are feeling are attacking either them personally or their community fauci, then they might be more likely to, resort lost than if the protesters are like calling for defending the rights of a community. and so sometimes you have both kinds of chants in the same crowd. and i'm also mindful, you know, about tone policing. i don't think it should be the place of academics to tell protesters what they should or should not say, and as my colleague, the political scientist at uc berkeley, omar wasow, has, insightfully pointed out, what is strategic is not
4:12 pm
necessarily what is moral. so at the end of the day, it's up to protesters to decide, like what truth they want to speak. but based on this early research that my coauthor and i are doing , when protesters are framing their protests as about punishing someone, the someone they are targeting might be less likely to grant concessions than if those activists frame the protesters as in defense of marginalized people. >> you can see the difference there and the nuance, right, and how people receive that message. we really appreciate you coming on the show. once again, i want to remind the audience again of the book that you're working on that is set to come out in august. it is called the new science of social change. i really appreciate your time, lisa. thanks again. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> turning now to a developing story, we are following in north carolina. that's where three law enforcement officers were shot and killed and five others wounded while trying to serve a search warrant. today it happened in a suburban
4:13 pm
neighborhood of charlotte. police say several officers on a task force tried to serve a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm. as they approached, someone began firing . one neighbor says he heard a barrage of gunfire. >> we heard about over 100 gunshots. it sounded like world war three. it's a lot of emotions going on. you know, you could tell a lot of people scared. a lot of people, you know, it's like i live in this neighborhood for ten years, never saw this, never thought it could even happen. >> police said one person suspected in that shooting was found dead by a swat team. they say two others inside the home are now being questioned. >> california takes you out. another step to try to end the opioid epidemic. we'll tell you about the new partnership that will increase the availability of an overdose reversal drug. >> plus, an expert weighs in on naloxone. a new deal here in california. we'll tell you h
4:14 pm
when i was your age, we never had anything like this. what? wifi? wifi that works all over the house. even the basement. the basement. so i can finally throw that party... and invite shannon barnes. dreams do come true. get started with xfinity gig internet for $25 a month when you add mobile. plus, get wifi equipment included. maybe we'll even get married one day. i wonder what i will be doing? probably still living here with mom and dad. fast reliable speeds right where you need them. that's wall-to-wall wifi with xfinity.
4:15 pm
4:16 pm
two deaths here in california. >> today, governor newsom announced the state is buying a generic version of an overdose reversal drug at a reduced price. >> tom vacar live now with more on this deal and just how much it will boost the state's supply . >> tom, it is a very, very big deal because the state of california is actually shaking big pharma to its very roots by in effect, contracting to make its own heavily discounted brand of critical generic drugs. under the state's own prescription label, cal rx, california taxpayers will purchase naloxone , a proven life saving drug overdose treatment for 40% below market rate. caregivers such as the glide foundation say it's about time there's been too much price gouging from the pharmaceutical corporations for too long. naloxone can revive overdose people on opioids such
4:17 pm
as fentanyl, oxycodone, opium and others incredible impact that this drug can have at saving people's lives. >> how easy it is to use, how important it is to make it widely available so we have it as a tool to save lives everywhere. where in our state, instead of $40 for a two pack of the spray, the state will pay $24. >> the state will distribute 100 to $150 million worth of the drugs to county governments, police agencies, local health agencies, community based groups, harm reduction organizations, schools anywhere needed really, but also making it available to restaurants, to entertainment centers, to lyft drivers. >> we hope this will become as ubiquitous and as available as as other key aspects of first aid kits. >> san francisco's glide foundation has crews out each and every day, as do many other groups, but they need a lot more help. >> programs have been doing
4:18 pm
their best to get as many doses of narcan into the hands of drug users. their loved ones, family members, and friends who use with them. >> most of the distribution is free in san francisco alone last year, 806 people died of drug overdoses, 80% due to fentanyl, with well under 2% of the state population. >> san francisco had 11% of the state's opioid deaths. >> will begin ordering this over the counter naloxone spray from amneal pharmaceuticals next month, which of course is very is just around the corner. >> now, at some point in the near future, cal rx, that state brand that we've been talking about, will also buy insulin and misoprostol at a deep discount, and we will all benefit from it. tom vacar ktvu fox two news. >> okay, tom, thank you for that . and for more on the impact of this purchasing agreement. we are joined now live this afternoon by michael snow from the group hep c. that's the hiv
4:19 pm
education and prevention project of alameda county. mike, it is great to have you on to get your perspective here this afternoon. i want to put a stat up on the screen that can kind of put this into some context here about just how much more naloxone we are talking about here in california. the state will be able to buy 3.2 million packs of naloxone in a year, as opposed to 2 million for the same cost. you run a naloxone distribution program in the east bay. what do you expect that this agreement here by the state of california is going to mean for your organization? >> well, just not for my organization, alex. and thank you for having me. but just overall, in general, it will save lives, we'll have more naloxone, more narcan on the streets are relatively available to the masses. and to get the education out for persons, to know how to administer narcan at the scene of an overdose, all
4:20 pm
this will do will be more of an increase of persons that will have overdose reversals, which will then allow for more people to live longer and to save lives, essentially. so this is no more than, a benefit to the united states as a whole to save more lives around, opioid use disorder. yeah. >> put putting putting this overdose reversal drug in the hands of more people that that's the idea here to try to save lives. let's talk about the crisis, the overdose crisis that we have unfolding here in the bay area and across the state. and i want to put up again some numbers on the screen that really drive home the point here. overdose deaths are really on the rise in california, especially, i believe this is not the not the graphic i was looking for here. but we do know that overdose deaths are on the rise. they are up, twice as much from 2019 until the current time . and most overdoses are happening, mike, when others are around. so if you're putting more of these kits, life saving kits into people's hands, how
4:21 pm
how effective do you think that's going to be to catch more people before it's too late? >> oh, it's detrimental. i mean, a person, once they experience an opioid induced overdose, has but so much time because they have now lost oxygen to the brain. and that's what happens in an overdose of being able to get and assess the situation and getting medication into them before they begin to lose brain cells, they begin to have irreversible brain damages due to the overdose. or if they go so long without oxygen to the brain, death is imminent. okay, so with more access to the actual medication, more persons knowing how to use the medication and having it relatively available, all over, and that scenes of possible overdoses, only do and only help the process of saving lives and making a person more empowered, that knows this education and information, to be able to save someone's life. yeah. >> and, mike, do you feel like you have made an impact in
4:22 pm
educating people about just how easy it is to administer an overdose, an opioid overdose reversal drug like naloxone? have you been able to reach a lot of people, and do you feel like you've made a difference in that arena? >> absolutely. so our agency and organization targets active substance users, and in high risk populations of drug related harm, overdose and death, where we go into communities and, train individuals on how to use these particular medications or narcan at the scene of an overdose, especially for persons that mostly would be at the scene of an overdose. but we also train community based organizations, law enforcement clinics, nursing and even the school districts and parent committees have been the biggest request as far as with learning how to use narcan, and this has helped because it's giving people more education around it. it is dispelling kind of the fear that people have around, possibly helping a person or what they need to do at the scene of an overdose. and not
4:23 pm
only that, being able to educate one to where a person, an individual is, not only they know how to use it and how to reduce their risk, they're helping and encouraging their community, which in their social networks within not only for that individual, it helps the community, be able to educate them to prevent and to save lives. >> yeah. and we just put up on the screen there some of the some of the tips that you offer for, for people to, to know what to do in a situation here, if potentially you're dealing with someone who has, who has overdosed. we appreciate the time as always. michael snow from the group hep back here in the east bay. great to see you. thank you. >> thank you alex. any time. sure. >> adding more housing. we'll tell you about the major renovation planned for a homeless shelter in the south bay, operated by the salvation army. >> plenty of blue skies across the bay area this afternoon and temperatures very seasonal. it is a bit breezy in some areas. we'll check in on the current conditions and show you what you can expect for t week ah
4:24 pm
4:25 pm
4:26 pm
to help provide more housing to those in need. 74 temporary housing units will be available to house the existing residents of the salvation army's emmanuel house, which will be redeveloped and remodeled. the project will take ten years to complete, as the entire campus is remodeled. it will also include another new housing complex on the campus to help address the housing crisis. in santa clara county. santa
4:27 pm
clara county is providing $4 million to help pay for the project. the san jose city council is set to vote on the proposal in june to commit $1 million for it. >> okay, we are back now with a look at bay area weather and rosemary. now we're just talking about how beautiful it is out there today. but but windy especially as we saw in christians i know live shot earlier this afternoon in san francisco. >> yeah. so we have no wind advisory here. but on the waters we do have the small craft advisories that will be on and off, okay. for the bay as well as the outer waters. and that's going to continue for the next few days because our pattern is going to kind of repeat itself until we get into some bigger changes for the weekend. and i'll talk about that here coming up. but giving you a look there at the golden gate park area, ocean beach, a beautiful view here. we do have plenty of sunshine to go around this afternoon, and temperatures are very similar to where we were yesterday within a few degrees. for most of us, this north and northwest flow is going to be with us for the next few days. as i back up here and show you
4:28 pm
kind of the pattern that is in place, storms that continue to move through the pacific northwest. and they kind of dip on the backside of california here, continuing to bring in that northwesterly flow and the pressure gradient tightens and weakens, tightens and does a repeat. and with that we continue to see the breezy conditions day after day. right now, nevada reporting an onshore breeze at 32mph. the gusts there fairfield 17 over towards the oakland airport 32. so a bit of a breezy one. many areas this afternoon sfo even reporting at wind gusts right now to about 40mph as we get into sunset. do expect the winds to begin to taper off. temperatures right now 60 degrees in san francisco, we've got 67 in oakland at the coast, upper 50s for our inland cities, upper 70s, 78 right now in one area, brentwood, 77 in clayton and 72 for orinda. so a beautiful one, temperature wise. and if you're going to the a's game a little bit later today, we do expect mostly clear skies, low 60s at game time. 640 as
4:29 pm
they take on the pirates. we've got a northwest breeze to about 15mph. the winds again expected to die down as we get a little bit closer there to sunset. but we could see a near repeat tomorrow afternoon. i'll have a better look at tomorrow and the possibility of rain in the extended forecast coming up in just a little bit. >> okay, rosemary. thank you. well, another big data breach to tell you about. and millions may have been affected. a cyber security expert joins me live next to talk about ways that companies can optimize their approach to data privacy. and security
4:30 pm
4:31 pm
4:32 pm
to third party vendors. the oakland based health care provider says that online tools that were installed on its website and mobile apps were involved. geizer says about 13.4 million people will get a notification that personal information may have been transmitted to google, microsoft or eks, formerly known as twitter. kaiser says patients names indications that they were signed into a kaiser account, and their health related searches were involved, but no usernames, passwords, social security numbers or financial account information was involved . kaiser says it has removed the online tools that were exposed here, and says it is not aware of any misuse of any personal information. so let's talk more about this latest data breach with patrick haar of slash next based. there in pleasanton. thank you so much, patrick for being here. what are the
4:33 pm
potential risks for the millions of former and current kaiser members? >> well, first of all, i think the good news here there was not username and passwords associated with this particular breach. the bad news i think the number one risk is just access to private information. it's a real privacy concerns, honestly, the reason why companies like kaiser use tracking codes on websites is to track that information and obviously sell it to advertisers so they can then advertise to you, ultimately to make more money, so i think in this case, the real big danger here is just access to private information that could then be used by other actors, whether they breach those particular companies, and use that against the particular users. >> yeah. okay so what should members be doing now if they are in fact, you know, kaiser, former or current members to protect themselves following what happened here? >> you know, i think we've spent a lot of time in the industry really trying to focus on some of these, make these some of
4:34 pm
these attacks preventable. in fact, one of the key tools is on your apple iphone today. you go into safari settings and prevent but what's called cross tracking. and as well as, read of your ip address. so that's first and foremost, go in and change that setting so you cannot track that information on the websites. second, remove cookies. you can also go into your browser and select remove your cookie. third, change your password. i know this is not related to passwords, but always, always, always change your password. do not use the same password for every app. change that every month, and then finally use what's called multi-factor authentication on those passwords. you receive that one time code on your text message to identify who you are. use that that that really ensures that you're accessing your applications, your information. so someone else cannot access it. >> yeah, those are some really good tips there. okay. you mentioned, ip addresses and search terms and sort of the value that they hold for companies. but, but it seems as though, you know, those are a little bit greater risk. at
4:35 pm
least they were here. so i guess my question is what what will someone be able to gain from that to glean from that information again? >> i again want to highlight the good news here. there's not username and password. there's not part of your personal medical records, really what's available here is your user behavior when you're going to a particular site and accessing different information on that site. obviously the more personalized information they can provide to the advertiser, the more personal the ad they could target you with, so therefore there again, the real danger here is really that they have access to that information to really advertise to you to make more money. okay, so there really isn't much more value to that information than what we just talked about. >> not a lot. but i would say one way to really prevent this for all the firms out there is a that code that kaiser is using that they mentioned at the outset. you mentioned at the outset of the report, second, all the health care providers
4:36 pm
should de-identify the data, meaning there should be no personal attachment to your username and your particular, in this case, website behavior. by doing that, they can prevent this type of, breach. >> okay. and so that's kind of specific for health care providers. but we have seen patrick a number of data breaches over this year, including most recently with at&t. and that did did contain some more personal information. why do you believe we are seeing this happen more and more? >> you know, i we researched the web constantly. we see many, many type of attacks on the dark web and use of password information for nefarious purposes. so the number one reason why you would see all these data breaches is because these threat actors or hackers, as they're called, are trying to access big data sets. in the case of at&t, if you can imagine millions and millions of users passwords, what can i then do with those passwords, that could be used as an example to put a
4:37 pm
ransomware breach in and then basically hold that company for ransom to extort them for more money. or it could be simply, i'm going to take your username and password, sell it on the dark web to someone else that's going to then try to breach you as an individual, so there's many different purposes for why they're trying to do these data breaches, but rest assured, these data breaches have happened in the past, and they're going to continue to happen because they're looking for that. those high value data sources. and the bigger the company is, the bigger the data breach. and that's more opportunity for them to make money. >> yeah. all right. but you had some really important tips for all of us consumers and in the meantime, we hope that those businesses, including health care providers, take those necessary steps. really appreciate your time, patrick. thank you. >> yeah. great to be here. thank you. >> up next here on the four this afternoon cleanup and recovery underway following several days of powerful storms and deadly tornadoes throughout the midwest, we'll have details on the impact of he severe
